C. & A. WORKMEN
HAVE HARD TIME
GETTING ON JOB

Some thrilling secenes were presented
to the inquiring reporter at the en-
frances to the Calumet and Arizona
smelter Monday night when the II
O'clock shift attempted to go to work
and found every approach to the smell
ter under from three feet TO as many
yards of rolling, surging water. Many
men parked their ears at the brow of
the hill east of the smelter and walked
the railroad trestle to their night shift;
many more turned back, unable to
stand the dizziness due to the rolling
waters under the trestle, and a number
were seen west of the smelter wading
across several hundred feet of water
that was in places knee deep.
The timekeeper at the smeIter re-
ported that few men checked in for the
night shift but stated that the smelter
was not crippled by the lack of men.
During Monday afternoon the waters
of the Aqua Prieta near to the smelter
caused no little apprehension for sew
eral hours but, according to men on
duty at the time did little damage.
In what is the regular entrance for
traffic to the S m ter in normal
weather nothing could be seen late
last night by the top of a big car stick
ing out of the water where the road
way runs under the Southern Pacific
tracks. Two cars were originally stall
ed there some time early Monday, but
one of them, being small, was entirely
engulfed in the flood during the after
noon and evening"
Reports that two or more cars were
washed into the river from parking
places in the vicinity of the smelters
could not be verified late last NIGHT

Claim Her Followers

part of the state in q reported miss
ing" case.
Two salient features stand out from
the mass of rumors and maze of re.
ports which have accumulated since
Mrs. Mcpherson dropped from sight.
One is that she went to the beach and
the other is that no person has adj
mitted seeing her return to the TEN.
pie.
The last person known to have see.-
her alive is Miss Ernirna Schaeffer, her
secretary, who says that Mrs. Nc
Pherson went down into thd water
and did not come back.
Life guards at the beach where the
evangelist last was seen said today
that they had the greatest difficulty
in obtaining from Miss Schaeffer the
identity of the woman whom the see
retary said had been drowned. Had
they known who it was and had her
description, the guards said, they
might have launched an Immediate
search Today a few of Mrs McPher
sons followers, led by her mother, Mrs
Minnie Kennedy, again scanned the
tubing surf fruitIessly for body. 1t
is II days since the evangelist disap-
peared. Mrs. McPhersons divorced
husband, Harold S. Mcpherson, of Oca-
Ia Fla, telegraphed the Los Angeles
police today offering his services in
any effort made to clear up the mys
terry. He said that he has worked
with her formerly.
The authorities would not say
whether they are seeking Kenneth G.
Ormisbon, former radio broadcaster in
the station maintained by Mrs. Nc
Pherson, to question him again Mrs.
Sylvia Obernan told the police she
could identify the man who mshe had
seen on the beach talking to the
evangelist.
In addition to memorial services at
Angelus temple tomorrow by the fol-
lowers of Mrs. Mcpherson, who be-
lieve that she lost her life in the
surf, the missing evangelist's mother
today arranged for an airplane to drop
flowers over the ocean at the spot
where the evangelist was reported last
seen. The flowers will consist of
crimson and white roses.

DRYSPLAN UPON
TIGHTENING UP
VOLSTEAD ACT
(By Dispatch A. Z. Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 29.--Aroused by
the repeated onslaught of the vets,
some Of the outstanding dry leaders
are preparing to force the issue in
the senate this session on the admin
istration bill for tightening up the
Volstead act. The vets said Friday
they are ready for the battle and will
press several amendments including
those fol. national referendum on
the prohibition question and trans
lating into law the language of the
18th amendment permitting the manu-
facture and sale of beverages non
intoxicating in fact
While lines are being drawn up for
this fight the uproar over President
Coolidge's executive order authorizing
the employment of state and local Of.
ficers as federal enforcement agents,
continues. The order was defended
today in the senate by Senator Blease,
democrat, South Carolina, who de-
clared that the fewer federal prohi
bitionI agents there were in the state
the better for law enforcement.
The senate judiciary subcommittee
appointed to inquire into the legality
of the order failed to meet today, but
Chairman Cummins' hopes to have a
session not later than next Tuesday
There is a little probability that any
hearings will be held.
