Hoover Denies
Cabinet Split

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover today in
an interview withe the United Press
denied assertions of the American
Farm Bureau Federation that dis
cord existed between Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace and himself
over a suggested transfer of the bu-
rcau of markets from the agriculture
to the commerce department.
$50 far as / am aware it has new
er been proposed to move the bureau
of markets to the department of
commerce. Hoover said.
The farm bureau federation, in q
statement made public last night de-
clared its belief "arrived at through
the process of elimination, that
with the departure of Secretary of
the Interior Fall from the cabinet
"the differences between the pres
ident and his cabinet seem to have
boiled down to alterations between
the secretaries of agriculture and

Council Gets
Two Bids For
Garbage Pact

All members of the city council
were present last night at the open
ing of proposals for the disposition
of garbage. Bids were received from
Gebbie Brothers who have the con
tract at the present time and from
Kenneth f. Taylor. The council
took the matter under advisement
pending an examination and com
parison of the propositions.
Report was made by the special
committee to investigate the SCOT
nuisance. The committee was com
posed of City Engineer Dyer and
Councilman Travers. An ordinance
will be prepared putting into exc
cution the findings of the commit
tee.
Further discussion was given to
the question of water rates. This
matter is in charge of Councilmen
Travers and Anderson and Superin
tendent OFT, who are making thor
ough survey of the situation and eX-
amining a mass of data having di-
rect or indirect bearing upon the
question. 1t is described by the
eouneilmen as bughouse' job
but all are hopeful that when the
findings are made a basis will have
been found which will combine the
two great needs of reduced costs fol
the ordinary consumer and encour
agement of the use of necessary wat
er for lawns and yards.

Free Water for
Reclaiming of
Lands Assured

Free water to ranchers in inner
ial Valley who are teaching at their
land or whose land is not in condi-
tion to produce paving crops was
promised today by directors of the
Imperial Irrigation District upon
petition of f. d, Griffin, Holtville
who is attempting to bring alkali
soaked land back TO a state of fer
tilitv.
The free water will be granted on
recommendation of f. L. Garth
waite, farm advisor, and w. w.
Weir, of the University of Califor-
mia experiment station.
All possible assistance in bring
ing the land back to state of fer
tilitv is promised by the district
through cooperation of agricultural
experts.
The district today authorized a
lease to the Southern Sierras Pow
err Company of all electric wires and
polls on the Mexican side of th'
border for 1925 per month per poll.
This action was taken so that the
district will not be required to fur
nish electricity to Mexican ranch
ers along its lines. The power will
now be furnished by the Southern
Sierras Power Company.
The session of the board is the
last to be attended by President ]
s. Nickerson before he goes tC
Washington. The president will
leave tomorrow from Los Angeles to
join Mark Rose and j. S. Ross i,
a committee urging favorable ac-
tion on the Swing bill.
The board discussed action taken
three weeks ago in reducing the
pay of the assessor and collector of
the district from $3.50 month to
5000, some favoring reconsideration
but no action was taken at late
hour.
The change in salary is effective
March I, the beginning of the new
term. The board was divided on the
question of salary of this office.

STANFORD DROPS
81 STUDENTS IN
BIG CLEAN SWEEP
Many Athletes Among
Men to Leave; May
Not Return Them

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan.
4.-The faculty scholarship axe fell
at Stanford University today and
81 students were dropped from the
college enrolment.
Included are Glenn Hartran, fam
Gus all-around athlete, and Al Smith,
miller, who were expected to win 20
points for Stanford III any track
meet they entered this spring.
six members of the varsity foot
ball squad also were included in the
list of those dropped.
They. cannot return for at least Il
year and then only if the faculty
sees fit to permit their return.
VARSITY football squad members
who were among the unfortunate 81,
were: Cuddeback, fullback; John
ston, tackle; Taylor, second string
-fuilback; Phoeny, guard; Douglass,
guard, and Houch, guard.
In addition to the varsity football
men, five members of the freshman
team who were looked upon as fu-
ture stars were dropped.
This wholesale suspension Cf ath-
letes caused gloom on the campus at
Stanford, students seeing some of
their fondest hopes for winning ath-
letic honors during the next yeac
go Il glimmering. Scholarship was
the reason given.
