ties, to snap the tension of Il situa-
tion created south Of here last Sun

ranchers and to plunge this part
of California into civil war.
Since the approximately 100 ranch
ers took over the Alabama gates Of
the Acqueduct and diverted Los
Angeles chief source Of water sup
ply into Owens lake they have re-
mained at the spillway unarmed and
waiting for armed forces to be sent
against them. But the city has re-
fused to attempt forcible election of
the raiders and has contented itself
with peaceful court action to re.
cover its property.
Accordingly, the ranchers are fac
ed with the alternative of either
abandoning their attempts to force
the city into settlement Of their
long standing water rights feud
with it or else continuing on the
job" at the spillway indefinitely
for engineers estimate that Los
Angeles still has about three months

reservoirs
Not Ready To Give Up
Now, according to their spokes-
men, the ranchers are not in any

demand immediate settlement with
their dispute with the city and each

BY CHARLES =. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Nov. l9.-Mrs. Alice
Roosevelt Longworth is considered
the most influential individual, po-
litically, in Washington today.
Not being public character
though, like her father, she has not
the sort of influence with the mass
of voters he had, but doubtless she
could obtain it if she chose.
But that is not her method.
Mrs. Longworth pulls the strings
and when she pulls them she gets
results in Congress and the execu-
tive offices. She gets most any.
thing she wants.
Whether Mrs. Longworth delib-
erately set out to acquire all this
political power or whether she at
tained it through more or less nat
ural developments that she never
particularly willed, perhaps she
doesn't know herself.
SchOoled in Politics From Childhood
Obviously she had certain advan-
tages to begin with. She was g
presidents daughter and that pres
ident was regarded generally as one
of the two or three greatest the
country ever had.
Of all his children she is most
like the late Colonel Roosevelt
Everybody who knew him and who
knows her agrees Oh this.
Politics, from the time she began
to talk, was part of her life. She
never had to study public affairs
They were all about her. She alb
sorbed them as naturally as she
breathed.
Then she married Congressman
Nicholas Longworth. Just as every
good wife tries to help her husband
to succeed, she set out to help Nj
cholas Longworth along the road tc
success in politics. And, she pre-.
eminently knew how.
The Longworths never have beer
ostentatious Washington entertain
crs, but they have entertained 4
great deal. They have the means tt

do so in the best of style and taste
and the personal qualities and back
ground to attract to them the coun-
try's ablest and most powerful men.
Nobody is big" enough not to feel
flattered by an invitation to the
Longworth home.
Influential Men Seek Her Counsel
The visitor meets there the pick
Of Washington life. These contacts
are more than entertaining. They
have a concrete value. They develop
useful acquaintanceships.
But Mrs Longworth's own opin-
ions and observations are the ones
her visitors particularly seek. They
listen and pay attention when she
speaks, and it pays, for mighty few
are the politicians who, when they
speak, know as completely and eX-
actly as Mrs. Longhworth knows.
what they are talking about.
When Congress is in session, Mrs.
Longworth attends the sessions of
the House of Representatives almost
as faithfully us her husband. She
knows absolutely everything that
goes on in politics, and she under
stands it inside out.
1t is no eXaggeration to say she
shapes national policies, executive
and legislative-not all policies, of
course, but those she is interested
in, and her interests are very wide.
Congressman Longworth is the
likeliest candidate for speaker of
the House Of Repre- esentatives after
Mareb 4. If he is chosen, then just
that much more power to his wife
in national politics.
Not in an uncomplimentary sense,
the congressman is his wife's poll
tical creation. Nicholas Longworth
is an able man and Of charming
personality. But indolent, rs he ad
mits.
Left to himself, he might not
have taken the trouble to climb. His
wife is the ingredient of ambition.
She provided also quality Of CO.
operation such as few public men
in any country ever have had.

OFFICER MUST
STAND TRIAL

Complaint made against Charles
J. kopriva, as auditor of Burke
county, charging him with embezzle-
ment of funds, states cause of
action and trial may be had on it,
the supreme court decided today,
in reversing the opinion Of District
Judge Moellring, who dismissed a
criminal action instituted against
kopriva.
The complaint charged Kopriva
with embezzling $7O1.4O. money col
lected for hunting licenses.
The defendant moved for dismiss
al of the bill on the ground that he
could not embezzle such funds, un-
der the law, the court decision says.
1t was contended by his attorneys
that provision in the game and
fish laws providing penalties to any,
one who refused to turn over money
collected superseded the general
statutes on embezzlement by county
officials, view the high court re-
jected.

Washington. Nov. 19.-The COM

program of work so as to take adj
vantage of the coming short session
OF congress for any remedial legis-

have concluded to be necessary.
After an all day session yesterday
behind closed doors, the commission
announced however. that it would be
! impossible to complete its work be-
fore congress convened next month
and that after its session tomorrow
and pending the assembling of data
on which it will base is work, it
would take a three or four weeks re-

statement that while in view of the
broad scope of the commissions work
it probably would be incomplete by
March 4. he thought some phases
undoubtedly would be ready for re-
port before that time.
Recognizing the depressed condi-
tion Of the cattle industry" the chair
man said 1.-The commission early de-
termined to arrive at some immediate
recommendation looking to the stabi-
lization Of this phase of agriculture.
An early decision on this matter is
anticipated"
At the session, IL bureau chiefs
commissions were called in for con-
>ultation. All were requested to fur
nish information as quickly as pos
sible regarding their respective &C.
tivities.
Data requested included informa-
tion on the government financial
structure as relating to agriculture.
particularly from the federal farm
loan board. the federal reserve board
and the war finance corporations; and
on government statistics collected
and dissemination by various agen-
cies and the purposes they serve.

Cooperative marketing of farm
products will constitute one of the
main branches of the inquiry and one
of the first requests of the company
was for digest Of the several bills
pending before congress relating to
that question. Present laws on the
subject also will be studied to de-
termine possible flaws in adminis-

Tariff rates, and the whole struc-
ture Of transportation including
highways, water and rail transport
freight rates and service, as they re-

under the scrutiny of the commits

agricultural expansion under the re-

In its study of reclamation the

reclamation projects under construc-

Federal and state quarantine regula-
tions also will be studied.
Another important feature Of the
commissions work the statement
said, will have to do with foreign
competition with domestic farm pro-
ducts. the inquiry into this phase to
include costs of foreign products and
study of hindrances to a profitable
foreign market for this country'a
