Because of the Importance of the
general operation of the district,
and particularly the protection of
the district $ water rights against
upper state water users. the board
of directors of the Irrigation Dis
trict. at its meeting yesterday de-
cided that special counsel should
be employed to handle certain suits
of a harrassing nature that have
recently been filed against the dis
trict. particularly the suit brought
by Roy Breedlove.
Attorney Childers explained to
the board the various matters now
pending in the legal department
and asked instructions of the board
as to whether he should devote his
time to the handling of these cases
or to the ones which seem to be
more important.
For some months, he explained to
the board, he has been endeavoring
to get the necessary data collected
for the commencing of actions
against water users in the upper
basin whom it appears are using
water to which the district is en-
titled. In view of 4 possible low
river again this year, the board
seemed to agree that every effort
should be made to protect the dis
trict' water rights as fully as
possible and in view of the fact
that the Breedlove case is one at
taeking the right of the district to
furnish water for washing and
sluicing purposes and teaching aka

require two or three weeks to trv
the board informally expressed the
opinion that such action should not
be permitted to interfere with the

partment.

SWING BEFORE FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Is
|. Anxious to Tell
All the Facts
ny United Press Leased Wire

N LOS ANGELES, May 29-Cong-
ressman Philip d, Swing waived his
unconstitutional rights this afternoon
and agreed to appear before a fed.
'er0 grand jury and explain his
sslalieged legal connections with the
#mperial Valley Irrigation company.
S1he grand jury, according to L. S.
slpistriet Attorney Samuel MeNabb,
is investigating reports that the
congressman wrongfully served the
Airrlgation firm as advisory counsel
during a recess of congress last
year.
i have nothing whatever TO
~conceal. and want to tell the entire
Nst0r,v, Congressman Swing said.
u L. S. District Attorney Samuel
MaNabb said the congressman would
be given an opportunity to testify
on his own behalf late today.
Other witnesses called were f. G.
Pound. I. II. McIver, aud G. w.
Nsosskstpan, Of Imperial Valleys
Regarding the appearance of
cohgressmm Phil d. Swing before
fhc federal grand jury at Los An
aeles today, Director Mark Rose
said that the charges made against
the congressman is simply another
effort to muddy the issue. which is
the Swing Johnson bill, providing
for the construction OF the Boulder
Canyon dam and thc All.American
canal.
"The charge that Swing was not
within his rights in aec2pting
pay for appearing in behalI of the
district at the hearing question, is
groundless in my opinion, Rose
stated, I" for he acted not Mt a
hearing of the federal power com
mission, but simply at a conference
where the federal power commission
was represented.
"Being familiar with every phase
Of the Colorado river development,
Swing WAS in better position to
protect the interest of the Imper
ial Irrigation District than any
other man, aud he was employed on
that account. -
The charges against the congress
men, according to Rose, are an out
growth of the recent investigation
conducted by the 1924 grand jury.
which requested Congressman Swing
to appear before, il in connection
with his acceptance of money from
the district. Swing complied with
the request of the grand jury and
answered the questions which they
put to him. Not having jurisdic-
tion in the matter, it was referred
to the federal fgrand jury for in
vestigation. u 1t,.. 5.s$j
Asked if he had been summon,
ed to appear before the federal
grand jury Rose, replied that he
had not been, and did not believe
thci Chandler Interests, whom he
charged are behind 'the accusations,
made against Swing, desired to give
him an opportupitvte o take the Wit
ness stand as II witness for Swing.

At the end OF the party the Amerl-

Queen Not at Home.
But the keenest disappointment to
the flyers was when they discovered
that the queen OF Roumania and her
beautiful daughters were not in Blu
charest. Away out in Burma "Smil-
ing Jack" had read in the Rangoon
Gazette that the rumored marriage
Of the Prince Of Wales to n Rou-
manian princess hnd fallen through.
''This had sort of raised Jacks
hopes hat he might be able to
qualify as a modern Prince of
Grsustark,' said" Less Arnold.
Naturally. we had all been tanning
the flames of Jacks ambition ever
since leaving Rangoon. so when VIC
heard that the queen and her beau
tiful daughters were away It was
indeed a deep disappointment to all
of MS. But our hearts started to
beat once more when. the next day,
we received n message from her
majesty which had been sent down
by special courier from her summer
castle in the Transylvanian Alps.
10 and behold It was an invitation
for us to come and spend tho week
end with her. We were reluctantly
obliged to send our regrets and a
reply that we were hurrying around
the world, but that we hoped we
might have tho opportunity of avail
ing ourselves of her majesty's
gracious hospitality a little later on
So you see how really close Jack
came to realizing his dream.
-As all who know him agree,
Jacks smile is irresistible. And
had he met a princess we have no
doubt but what one result of our
fight around the world would have
been that Jack would have returned
TO the Balkans as king OF Herzogo-

as a baron in B~essarabia."
