dams on the ella river correspond
ing to the Horse Mesa and the Mor>
mon Flat dams on the Salt river was
promised by United States Senator
Ralph H. Cameron in an address de-
livered last night at Chandler. Sem
ator Cameron gave his assurance that
appropriations would be forthcominS
within a year for the building or

electrical energy could be developed
from the water power at the dams
to eventually pay off the costs of the
two structures in addition to tnat OF
the entire project.
Senator Cameron was received by
the people of Chandler with mucn

Today's letter, delivered to the de-
fense from the United States district
attorneys office and written on sta
tionary bearing the name of S. S.
Hahn, Mrs. Wiseman's attorney, de-
clared Hahn the avengers attorney.
Both Mrs. Wiseman and Hahn denied
any knowledge of the letter
Gilbert voiced YELLED implication
that Mrs Wiseman had been connected
with "the avengers" a group which
so far has not been identified.
In two outstanding instances Mrs.
Wiseman's memory failed her on the
witness stand today. She could not re-
member the exact amounts of money
given her by Mrs. Mcpherson, which
yesterday she testified she had re-
ceived as an alleged conspirator, and
she could not name the owners nor
describe the location of private houses
in which she said she had stopped dur
ing several visits to Carmel.
Throughout todays cross examina-
tion, Mrs. Mcpherson, seated directly
behind her attorney, took leading
part in formulating questions fired at
Mrs. Wiseman
Time and again she tugged at her
big attorney coat tail and poured
whispered suggestions into his ears
until Assistant District Attorney Den
nison for the prosecution protested to
the court, with the suggestion that Gill
bert pay more attention to the witness
and less to his clients observations. (
Mrs. Wiseman was released at 4;30
p. M, and Bernce Morris, secretary to
Russell A. Mckinley, blind lawyer OF
Long Beach, who was killed recently,
was called to the stand
Miss Morris told of an interview
Mrs. Mcpherson sought with her THE
day after McKinley's death in an au-
tomobile accident when the evangelist
asked about a road map and some let
ters which the blind attorney had left
Mckinley was brought into the case
after Mrs. McPhersons disappearance
when she told of two men having ap-
preached him with a view to q ransom
being paid for the return of the evan
gelist.
The hearing went over until Monday

tion. He went time after time over
names. places and dates involved in
Mrs. Wiseman's story that she was re-
quested by a Mr.. Martin" in San
Francisco to engineer the hoax that
she visited Mrs. Mcpherson, her mother
and her attorney in Los Angeles in
preparation for it, and went to Carmel
and Salinas Calf, to obtain data to
substantiate the narrative for which
she has declared she received $40O. A
mild sensation was caused today when
letter signed The Avengers was
brought into court. Al former missive
so signed which has since disappeared
arrived at Angelus Temple, Mrs. Nc
Pherson's church, last June and de-
manded ransom of 100000 for the
release of Mrs. Mcpherson, said to be
held by the "avenging" kidnapers,

Novel Lighting Fixtures for
Phelps Dodge Mercantile Co.

A new system of interior lighting,
featuring the recently patented SOL
Lux fixtures, has been installed Gn
the main floor of the Phelps Dodge
Mercantile company's store.
The novel feature of the new Tx
lures is that the shades entirely
enclose the high power lamps.
This gives the advantage of indirect
lighting, but the shades have con-
siderable advantage over the ole
style inverted shades in that no dust
can settle within the shade to aim
the light.
The fixtures are a new product OF
the Westinghouse Electrical Manu-
featuring company and were furn-
ished locally by the Arizona Edison
company.

Cameron assured the audience that

make the largest irrigation project in
the world. He said that building OF
the two dams on the ella, similar to
the dams on the Salt river, would
not only create enough electrical
power to pay for the building or the
irrigation project but they would pro-
eide for the irrigation of thousands
of acres of land, through pumping
systems, which could not be irrigated
through gravity flow. He told his
audience that the people of Arizona
would not have to wait years for the
appropriations for the building OF
these dams because when ne was
returned to Washington in the fall
he would start work Immediately
for securing the money from the
government for the construction OIL
the dams.
The farmers of this country must
be protected, the government mus
hell> them and it will, for without
the farmer our country would be
ruined. l have fought for the rarmer
/. ever since I went TO Washington,
and I voted for the McNary Haugen
bill which was for the relief of the
farmers. I am "a member OF the
well known farm bloc and am
going to do everything in my power
to aid and assist the farmer be-
cause I have been one myself and
know the problems of the tiIers Of
the soil"
He stated that bids for the build
ing of the Coolidge dam on the San
Carlos river for which he secured q
$4,000 Appropriation during his
term in the senate would be open on
the tenth of next month He assured
his audience that it would not take
four or five years to build this dam
because he had talked to the presi-
dent and persuaded him to allow
private contractors to construct the
dam, thus dong away with the gov
ernment red tape He said if the
government built the dam it would be
"a life time before it would be COM
pleted."

cotton situation" Senator cameron
told his audience. ".rhe president has
had reports of this situation and is
going to aid the cotton growers
The government has lots of money
and some of this money is going to

WASHINGTON, Oct. -(P)-Demo-
cratic leaders were charged today by
Senator Phipps of Colorado, chairman
of the republican senatorial campaign
committee, with belittling the country
in order to obviate the necessity of
admitting the accomplishments of the

Senator Phipps insisted any voter

that never in history had there been
the same extent of American produc-
