LOW WATER CAUSE
 OF SHASTA TROUBLE
New Theory Today After Occur
 renee at California Mountain

Bedding, Cal, Aug, 13. Mount Shasta. coated with volcanic ash and a top dressing of snow, was the cen ter of attention in the extreme north ern section Of California today. after q large area of ash formation and snow dropped from the base of the
 mountain into streams and cIogged the McCloud water system.
 The latest theory advanced for the unusual disturbance which has dis colored the waters of the Sacramento river as far down as Redding. is that the extremely low water marks in the streams tributary to the Sacra- mento tkis year undermined the for nation at the base of Mount Shasta and caused the ashen crust to break from the mountain
 The mud flow carried away the main pipe line supplying water to McCoud, which is four miles south of the point where the ashes left the mountain. The mud has made the county road from McCloud to Bartle almost impossible, small automo- bile which was caught in the flow of mud being deserted when the mud line came up to the body Of the car.
 For two days it was necessary to haul water supply into McCIoud by train, but today the system was reported repaired and with colder weather in prospect, the peak of the disturbance was believed passed.

M'V|CkAR DIVORCE
 IS AGAIN DENIED
Supreme Court Justice Writes Concluding Chapter of 1ansle

Nyack, N. T., Aug 1a.--James Me- Nickaf, wealthy oil man. and his wife
 who Nas the widow Of William Dits. son, Philadelphia saw manufacturer remain married today by decree o, Supreme Court Justice rompkins who wrote the concluding chapter Of their involved divorce proceedings.
 Justice Tompkins, in decision in which he accused the McVickars Of having acted in collusion 10 obtain Mrs. McNickar's divorce which she later caused to be inyalidated, today denied the oil mans petition again 10 validate the divorce decree.
 Mrs. McEickar, whose widowhood brought her fortune Of $500, ,Oo0, was secretly married to the oil man in Jersey City in December, 1922. It was not long after that their friends in New York and Philadelphia society learned that Mrs. McVickar had taken up quarters at the St. Regis hotel and that her husband was making his home at one of the many clubs to which he belongs,
 She filed divorce action here last April e7, an unnamed correspondent figuring in the papers. On May r. after brief trial in which it later ap- peared that but one witness testified, an interlocutory decree was entered in her favor.
 On July II, less than month be- fore her final decree was due. Mrs. McNickar again appeared before Jus tice Tompkins and petitioned him to invalidate the interlocutory decree, pleading that she preferred 10 remain married to bearing the stigma of di- yorce. Her petition was granted July c5.
 On August 10, McNickar asked Jus tice Tompkins to reconsider the nval- idation of the decree and reinstate him in his briefy-held hole of di- vorced man. It was this petition the court denied today
 In reviewing the case, Justice Tompkns said he was convinced Mrs. McNickar had brought the divorce ac- ton at the solicitation Of her husband, and cited the fact that one Of McFic- kar's close friends not only had re- tained the wife's attorney but had ap- peared as her sole witness, testifying to alleged infdelitics on the part of the oil man.
 'l thought that there was collision at the time of the hearing" Justice rompkins said. but Mrs. MCNickar's l attorneys assured me that this was not rue and I therefore granted the de- ! ,ree. The court is now convinced | hat Mrs. McNiCkar was unduly in- ! iuenced in bringing her ac;ion."
 Mrs. McVickar is the mother Of . Mrs. John Wanamaker, III.

POLITICAL AFFAIRS
 INTEREST E. BERLIN Residents Of That Section Want
 Their Own SeIeCtInan TO REMODEL OLD HOTEL
Ilanncry Hostclry On Berlin street to Be Made Into d Colonial Homc--- Berlin Grange NOtes-Cuurt Session Thursday Berlin Briefs.

Although but 2t hours have passed since George E. Carter announced his intentions of again running for the office of first secctman on the rcpub- llcan ticket Berlin people are begin ming to realize that the time for cleo ton is rawins near and they arc in- tert st,hg themselves in possible cand- dAius f.t all ot the offices.
 The first section of the town to show leal spunk IS East Berlin. Resi- dents iE this remote part Of Berlin wonder why they cannot have one of their own" head the town govern mlGt For more than 1 years either Berlin CT kensington men have had the horor ot being first sclectman. and the East BcrIinites now feel as though they want d representative of theil own.
 ..lmost 2O years ago Carl Dudley, then a popular resident of East Ser lin, through a trick of fate, became tirJt sritctman Of the town. Accord ing 10 old timers he held office only a short time as he filled the uneX- piret, term of another candidate. Dudley, according to all reports, made good selcctman but when election time came around there were not enough East Berlin votes to keep him iu office. He was succeeded by a Berlin resident.
 No toned as possible candidate for the bcrt:, and additional names heard arc those Of Theodore Savage and Robert 0. Clark. All three men arc well known and popular, not only in their own community but throughout all of Berlin. None of them could be reached today to ascertain their seq tiuien1s
 East Berlin recorded q victory last gear when Arthur Benson was elected as representative Of the town to the general assembly at Hartford. Previ- ous 10 this in the whole history of the tCwn Albert Barnes, democrat, was the only man to serve time as a representative from that district. Hav- ing gained confidence because of that victory the residents now see light and trust that they may offer a desirable candidate for the selcctman's berth.
 The democrats have maintained silence and have not as yet named or even given an inkling as to who possible candidate may be. Republi- cans, however, feel little fear Of the democratic party in Berlin as this town has generally gone strong re- publican and there is little doubt but what it will continue to do so. At tha time women were granted the privilege of voting it was first felt that enough votes might be cast to is- fuence the results in town but in the | majority of cases the women voted ] the same ticket as members of the l family and therefore each party re- | ceiyed additional support.
