DIRECTOR LORD
.OK'S COOLIDGE.
DAM ALLOTMENT

The Dispatch is informed that
President Coolidge, upon the recon-
mendation of Budget Director Lord,
has approved and sent to congress a
requeGt urged by Senator Cameron
that an additional $275,OOO be made
available for construction work on
the Coolidge dam at San Carlos in
addition to the $3.50, 900 item elimin-
ated from the department of interior
appropriation bill and the unexpend-
ed amount about 100000 from last
years appropriation. This makes a
total of about $1,000,OOO available
for the project upon the passage of
the deficiency bill now being drafted.
The $275,O0O is especially required
to expedite the removal of railroad
tracks from the Pima Indian reser-
walton and to take advantage of
certain construction economics. This
action appears to bear out Cameron's
prediction that way would be open
ed for the bill by acquiesing to the
transfer of that item from the de-
partment bill to the deficiency bill,
and makes good Senator Smoot's
promise that the $450,OOO item would
be included in the deficiency bill.
This promise was eXacted by Cam
eron from Smoot on the floor of the
senate. Senator Cameron is reported
as saying that the San Carlos project
is now "out of the woods" and that
doubtless money will be available
within a few days to begin actual
construction of the dam on the Gila
river which will reclaim about 100000
acres of irrigable lands in the Flor

ANDERSON, Ind, April 27.-Leander
Clark, aged rs, of Anderson, Ind,
will go to Butte, Mont. within the
next few days in an effort to clear
the identity of the man known as
William Anderson Clark, who died
there Saturday and who sisued d
statement released after his death in
which he repudiated the claims of
Mrs Effie Clark McWilliams of
Clarksdale, No. Mrs. Alma Clark
Hines, of Orrick, Mo-, and Mrs. Addie
Cuark Miller of Denver, to the, $780,
900, 900 estate of the late Senator
William Andrews Clark. Clark was
approached by a Pinkerton operative,
who represents the interests of the
Clark family of Missouri and agreed
to make the trip to Butte.
Clark was one of a family of ten
children that formerly lived near
Mechanicsburg, in Henry county.
While the children were yet young
the members separated and went to
widely divergent places. William
Andrews Clark, a brother, was about
five years the senior of Leander
Clark The latter saw his brother
for the last time in 1857. when he
made a visit to Clarksdale, Mo. At
that time William McAndrews Clark
operated a drug store. Since then
Leander Clark had lost all trace of
his brother. 1t is with the hope that
he will be able to settle the dispute
as to the identity of the man who
died Saturday night at Butte that
he is making the trip.
A sister of Leander Clark and
William Anderson Clark named Mrs.
Richard Gelleng, is living at Pendle-
ton, Madison county, A brother, whom
Leander Clark has not seen for 60
years, is supposed to be a judge at
Denver Colo.
