FAMED POLITICAL
FIGURE VISITOR
in The VALLEY

John NJ. Reynolds, prominent at
torney at Bedford, Massachusetts,
and formerly secretary of the inter
ior under Cleveland s administra-
ton, lieutenant governor of Pennsyl-
vania for two terms and United
States congressman, was . visitor
in FL Centre and Imperial Valley
over the week end.
Mr.. Reynolds, man probably
about IS years old, but looking not
more than 90, declared that he was
interested in Imperial Valley and
the fight for Boulder Canyon dam,
although this was his first visit
here. He said that he very hearth
ly approved of the stand taken by
Herbert Hoover on the Swing bill,
adding that he and Mr.. Hoover
were personal friends.
Accompanying Mr.. Reynolds, was
his wife, who was also enthusiastic
about the valley. They said they
came to FL Centro on Saturday, ex-
pecting to remain for few hours,
but that they had changed their
plans so that they could remain for
a longer time. They went back to
Redlands, where Mr.. Reynolds has
some orange groves, yesterday after
noon. He declared that he was too
old for political life, but too young
to retire. The orange groves, he
said, were just an excuse for an oc
casional trip to California.

the Mojave site seemed to him
more favorable than the Boulder
Canyon site.
He told the committee that he
did not think the southwest could
absorb the amount of power gener-
ated by the proposed Boulder dam.
Representative Hayden, Arizona,
said there was some alarm lest the
private interests secure most favor

authorized construction and asked
Merrill what the committees at
titude on granting licenses was.
Merrill replied no licenses would
be granted on any project without
the consent OF the state involved.
Swing Attacks Merrill
Possible result on the fate of
the Swing Johnson Boulder Canyon
bill of Congressman Swings speech
in the house late yesterday was be-
ing discussed here today. Swing
denounced in no uncertain terms O.
c. Merrill, executive secretary of
the federal power commission,
charging Merrill with seeking to
undermine the federal water power
act policy.
Swing, commenting on a measure
to increase Merrill 5 salary 1000
II year, said he did not mind the
raise but feared the country will
pay many thousand times $1,000
if the ideas and activities of the
secretary of the power commission
are permitted to go unrestrained. -
Merrill is attempting to urge all
limitations he can think of against
public ownership, p,' Swing charged.
Following Swing's s address, Rep
resentative Williamson, South Da-
kota, closed the day with a plea
for government development of
super-power system,' embracing
II projects, including the Muscle
Shoals and Boulder Canyon plans.

DeatOn Pulls Off
Real April Joke
on Two Robbers

Sergeant Norman Deaton of the
city police force has his own idea
about what makes a good April
Fool Joke. lie demonstrated last
evening when two Mexican youths,
Antonio Ochoa and Guadalupe Mo
ra, attempted 20 take suitcase
from an automobile parked in the
street at 532 Broadway street.
Sergeant Deaton was walking
along the street when he saw the
two Mexicans lift the suitcase from
the car and run d/fn an alley. Be
ing hnarmed and without his of
ficef IS badge, Deaton waited until
the two emerged from the other
end of the alley and as they reach
ed Fourth and Main streets, he
walked up to them, flashing n
bright object which had the appear,
ance of an officers badge. Before
they could move farther he ordered
them to stop and threatened to
shoot if they attempted resistance
to arrest. The pair obeyed.
The youths were brought into
police court this morning where
they were fined $500 and 1850 re-
spectively. Being unable to pay
their fines the two were sentenced
to serve $50 and $50 days III Jail
Both prisoners were unaware of
the fact that Sergeant Deaton had
flashed an Ingersoll watch in place
of a police badge and that the
hand thrust so threateningly in his
coat pocket held nothing more dan
gerous than much used tobacco
pipe.

old man who babled secrets of +he
Vicnnese court in the S0's in his
delirium died Sunday at Columbus
hospital, Miss Grace Wakefield. his
ward, remained the only one who
knew his true identity.
For year the man had lived
here with Miss Wakefield under the
name of O. n. Orlow, doctor of phi
losOphy. But to few friends he
disclosed that he was in reality the
Archduke Johann who fled from
Vienna more than 80 years ago, mar
licd an actress Of low birth in Lon
don in 1889 and disappeared forever
in q sailing ship that left Buenos
Aires in 1890. As 80. n. Orlow"
lay dying, he convinced the chief
surgeon that he was inded the miss
ing archduke and the death certifi-
cate was thus made out.
Miss Wakefield, who was about
the age that the London actress
would have been, was the only per-
son who knew the truth about go.

Last night she was sought for
