ORDERS LENIENCY
TOWARD WATER USERS
Asks Liberal Interpretation of
Phipps Act on Reclama-
ton Projects.

Acting on the authority of the
President, Secretary Work today
ordered the superintendents of all
reclamation projects to construe lib
orally the Phipps act, recently en-
acted to relieve the western settlers,
by further deferring charges due the
government
Failure of Congress to enact legis-
lation recommended by Secretary
Works fact finding commission,
which provided for the writing off of
more than $27.o00,0o0 owed the gov
eminent by reclamation farmers and
for more scientific method of re-
payment dictated the action. 1t is
believed that it will protect settlers
against foreclosure during the COM
ing season pending the passage of
permanent legislation
Regulations covering the defer
ment of charges under the Phipps
Dill, already have been issued by the
bureau of reclamation in which sim
plihed rules of procedure for OBJ
talning relief by settlers as well as
water users associations are out
lined.
Those water users who have cred
Its and assets enabling them to pay
ALL or part of their obligations will
be expected to do SO, while those
not able to pay but who give every
intention of carrying out their con-
tracts by work on the projects will
be treated sympathetically.

IN SHALLOW GRAVE
Vigorous Search Being Made for
Man Who Is Suspected of
Wife Murder.

By the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,. June 16.-Every au-
tomobile highway in Wisconsin north
of Milwaukee was patrolled today by
sheriff's posses seeking a man who
fed from a tourist camp at witten-
berg shortly before the body of his
bride Of a week was found in a shall
low grave. The man gave the name
of George P. Cummings of Grand
Rapids, Mich.
The couple appeared at the tourist
camp Saturday with equipment for a
long stay in the north woods. The
woman appeared to be ten or fifteen
told other tourists they had been
married Just a week.
Yesterday morning the man ap-
peared alone about their tent, and
soon drove away, only to appeal to a
farmer little later for assistance
in getting his automobile out of a
roadside ditch, excitedly Offering $25
Several hours later the farmer re-
turned to the scene of the accident,
saying he had reflected upon the
tourists excitement and the fact he
was unaccompanied. Examination OF
small mound revealed the body of
Mrs. Cummings wrapped in an old
army blanket, tied with rope and
buried under two feet of earth. She
had been killed by three blows on the
head, apparently with a hatchet.

5000 POUNDS OFFERED
FOR STOLEN ANTIQUES
Police Believe Treasures Taken
From London House Can
not Be Sold.
By the Aseocia ted Press.

By the Associated Press
LONDON, June ia three-column
advertisement listing the articles
taken from Lady Ludlow's mansion
in Paccadilly last Thursday and offer
ing $1,000 reward for the discovery
of the thieves and the recovery of the
property is published in todays news
papers.
Scores of detectives thus far have
failed in their efforts to trace the
robbers and their prospects of sue
cess are not regarded as promising
1t is suggested the robbery was COM
missioned by people desirous of ac-
quiring antique treasures and that
these have probably already reached
their destination, to remain in hiding
Indefinitely.
The Daily Mail points to the dis
elimination shown by the thieves in
selecting the things to be taken as
supporting this view, since the plum
der would be quite valueless to the
ordinary burglar, who could not dis
pose of the property to receivers of
stolen goods because any of the ar
ticles would be Immediately recog-
nized, while to break them UP would
destroy their value.
Thus, says the newspaper, the rob-
bers are presumably burdened with
property worth 100000, on which
they cannot raise a shilling.

BERLIN. June 16.-The presence
of Gen. Nollet as minister of war in
the Herriot cabinet suggests to the
reactionary party organs that the
German Democrats once more have
been duped and that the new French
ministry holds out no promise of

Gen. Nollet, who during his activi-
ties in Germany as head of the inter-
allied control commission became
anathema to the Nationalists. is
stgmatized by the pan German and
anti-Se mitic Deutsche Zeitung as "a
shameless militarist and war-baiter.
The newspaper viciously denounces
Gen. Nollet for his alleged continuous
provocation and the system of
espionage which he carried on in con-
nection with his official duties.

HAS $25, 900, 900 AVAILABLE
Believes Fund Enough for Work on

Judicious expenditure Of the $25,-

will permit conversion into Diesel
motor propelled vessels Of approx
mately sixty large steam cargo ships
totaling 100000 tons. now lying idle

nor of the Shipping Board declared
last night in a statement.
The money to be expended out OF

now amounting to $4,000, 900 through
ship sales and liquidation of in
dustrisl sites and surplus materials.
will provide much needed replace
ments and serve notice that the
american flag is to permanently
fly on the seven seas" the chairman
declared.
Many Vessels Available.
AS result of the survey Of the
boards laid-up fleets, about S15 ves-
sells have been selected as most suit
able for ultimate conversion into
motor ships. To install new steam
machinery in them, the chairman
added. undoubtedly would enhance
their reliability and involve less cost
than Diesel installation. but the re-
sultinE benefits. he added, would not
be commensurate with the expendi-
fure involved. AS the ships are not
marketable in their present state,
Diesel conversion would save them
from the scrap heap.
Mr.. O'Connor said further conver-
sions are anticipated through the
amendment of the merchant marine
act authorizing the board to loan to
private companies one-half the cost
of installing Diesel engines in their
vessels. American ship owners are
becoming keenly alive to the motor
driven vessels potentialitieS, the
chairman said. and thirteen vessels
sold by the board in the last three
years on the condition that they be
converted already are in operation.
Tentative Selections.
Twelve ships of between $500 and
s.400 deadweight tons have been ten
tatively selected as the first group to
mittee will meet with the board this
week to decide on the particular de-
sign of engine. Selection of main
and auxiliary machinery will be
made, Chairman O'Connor said. with
a view to standardizing high grade
equipment at reasonable prices.
This policy" he asserted. should
greatly assist the development and
establishment of the related indus
tries. for soon as standardized
sizes are manufactured in greater
numbers lower production costs will
necessaily follow
The statement pointed out that the
motor vessel consumes but one-third
at sea and one-tenth in port of the
fuel burned by a steamship of equiv
alent power and that it can be op-
Grated with a reduced engine room
crew, thereby lowering wages and
subsistence costs. The savings have
been found in practice to absorb the
cost of conversion in from six to sew
en- years.

APPEALS DEATH VERDICT.
Convicted Man Asks Supreme Court
to Review Sentence.

1.-THE Supreme Court was asked today
20 review the death sentence imposed
pom Walter Ray Simmons for the mur-
der of Frank PAIL, at Spencer, Neb.
simmons is under sentence TO die next
Wednesday.
Being in recess, the court cannot con-
slider the petition dntil after 1T recon-
venes next October. The filing of the
motion was decided upon by E. P.
Holmes, Josiah Coombs and Thomas p.
L.ttlepage, counsel for Simmons, after
consultations with justices of the court.
1t is based upon the discovery of new
evidence and on the charge that three
of the jurors who tried Simmons were
prejudiced.
1t is the expectation of counsel for
Simmons that Gov. Bryan of Nebraska
will continue to grant thirty-day res
pites until the Supreme Court acts upon
the case. The petition asserts that
several farmers who did not appear at
the trial will testify that Simmons was
not in the automobile when PAIL was
driven down the road and murdered.

spread of anti-American agitation
and to prevent untoward incidents
increasing international difficulties
was indicated in the issuance by the
home department today of the follow
ing instructions to governors of the
different provinces:
Punish with the utmost stringency
those causing petty disturbances cal
culated to disturb the peace and order
and harm the friendship between ia
pan and America. IIeniency in this
respect will invite misunderstanding
and ALLEVIATE confidence in the ef-
ficiency of the government. Do not
permit any demonstration of patriot
ism to develop to an extent that is
not strictly justified by common
sense. Use every effort to suppress
mobbish movements"
Patriotic Move Prevented.
The agitation following the enact
ment of the immigration law was
originally regarded as a sincere ex-
preston of national resentment Un-
doubtedly the majority of the peo-
pie are still actuated thus. However
recent developments indicate that GER
tain elements have taken advantage
of the opportunity to create a situ-
alton embarrassing to the government
internationally.
The issuance of the above instruc-
tions is reported as the result of such
actions. A notable incident in this
connection was the funeral of the
unknown patriot who committed
'hara-k -kiri'' as an expression OF resent
ment to the immigration law and an
effort to arouse the national spirit.
OmciaIs' Names Forged.
Among the floral offerings were
two huge bouquets bearing in large
letters the names Of Viscount Kato,

ers of the coalition government thus
paid their tribute and availed them
selves OF the opportunity indirectly

readjusted Japan's internal political

fess to see the possibility OF another

Government officials refuse to dis
cuss the probable direction of the
new cabinets policy since the ascen-

Takaaki kato. The press, however.
interprets certain occurrences recent
ly as indicating a definite step to-
ward renewal of Russo-Japanese

The first l. the elevation OF Wis
count kato as premier. While he was
the leader of the opposition in the
diet kato urged evacuation of Siberia
and later evacuation of Saghalien as
preliminary step in Russo-Jap-
anese agreement. AS premier he now
has the opportunity to execute such
policy as will virtually assure
agreement with the Soviet govern
ment. newspapers point out.
Minister Is Recalled.
The second fact considered impor-
tant by the newspapers is the order
sent to Japanese Minister Yoshizawa
TO return to Japan to report to the
