WASHINGTON, May T.
Testifying before the house IL
rigation committee on the pro-
posa Ito construct Boulder Can
yon dam on the Colorado river,
Harry Chandler. publisher of
the Los angeles Times, today
scoffed at the charge that his
land interests were promoting
an Asiatic colony in the Mexi-
can Imperial Valley.
Previous witnesses had testi-
fief that J. G. Allison, chief
engineer for Chandler's Land
company. has made a trip to
Toxic to interest japanese cap
italists Ii the proposed colony.
Questioned by Representative
Swing, California, on this
charge Chandler laughed and
declared Alliaon had gone to
Toxic on his honeymoon and not
on colonizing scheme. Allison
himself will take the stand to-
morrow.

MAY He, indeed" said Trenchard,
when he had recovered from his sur
prise. But" he added pessimistical-
ly, II doubt the rogue's in hell"
Richards eyes kindled suddenly,
and he quoted from the thirtieth
Psalm. 'T will extol Thee, o Lord.
for Thou hast lifted me up, and hast
not made my foes to rejoice over me-"
Dumfounded, wondering, indeed,
was Westmacott's mind unhinged,
Trenchard scanned him narrowly.
Richard caught the glance and mis-
interpreted it for one of reproof He
bethought him that his joy was un-
righteous. He stifled 1t, and forced

picious, wondering look at the whi-

much exercised on the score OF the
sanity of this family into which his
friend Anthony had married.
Outside the twilight shadows were
deepening.

Mr.. Wilding.
The shadows befriended her, a veil
for her sudden confusion She
breathed something that seemed no
more than a sigh, though more il
seemed to Anthony Wilding.

How has it sped?" he asked, his
lips twitching on the words.
"Yonder they sit" said Trenchard,
pointing down the Lawn.
