approached the bench with another
volume of the record which was the
subject Of another long conference.
Then the defense counsel grouped
about the record and finally turned ii
over TO Mr.. Horninc for presentation
to the jury. Throughout the reading
of the Chen testimony Mr.. Lambert
and his associate in the trial. Ru

Gus objections which were overruled
by the court and exceptions noted.
No objection was registered against
the PriSg testimony. Both testimony
also contained the examination
by the defense counsel at the former
trial. James 4. O'Shea.

No Return to Settlers Due in Halt

Refusal of Secretary Work 10 ex-
tend further the time in which the
Verde River irrigation and power dis
trict might use public lands in con
struction of reservoirs will not entitle
settlers on the project to -financia! re
dress from the Government, General
Land Office officials said.
Irrigation district taxes have been
accepted by the Government as pay-
ment on settlers land under tbs desert
land law, and the officials hold that
they have had ample time since the
project was begun six wears ago to
start construction work or to make
use of water from other sources. If
there is a possibility of settlers OBJ
tanning water in few years. how
ever, they said the Government might
still grant them extension of time in

Hof Giving Impression Fussne Where He'll Parade Prov
H0ff Told Must
Appear at Track
Meet in San Francisco

New York, May o.-R1-Charley
Hoff's reported refusal to appear in
a track meet in San Francisco, Sat
urday, has drawn warning from
the amateur athletic union to the
world champion pole vaulter from
Norway that unless you have rea-
sonable basis for refusing to COM
pete there the foreign relations COM
mittee will cancel your permit for
further appearances in the United
States
The word went by telegraph to
the Norwegian after a conference Of
the eastern members of the commit
tee with Secretary Frederick w. Ru-
bien following press reports that
Hoff had decided not to compete in
the Pacific Athletic Association
meet. The foreign relations COM
mittee has charge of his tour.
One of the reasons advanced by
Hoff for his refusal was that he
did not know until three days ago
that he was to appear at San Fran
cisco. A. A. U. officials said today
that Hoff was advised of the Seattle,
Los Angeles and San Francisco con-
tests at the same time and that on
March 81 they received a letter from
him in which he said that he hoped
to compete in all three cities.
The letter noted the change in
date for the San Francisco meet.
