Between my legs he trotted, as

in the shoulders and also in the neck.
And as a fair repayment for what
I'd handed him. he stripped me of my

And still the hog insisted on going
South by West; his intellect was
twisted, his judgment was a jest. And

HUGHES PRESIDING
IN LAKES DISPUTE
Imposing Array Of Counsel
| Arguing Chicago's Right
H.. to Divert Water.
~ the Associated Press.


Charles e. Hughes, sitting as spe-
cial master before an imposing array
OF counsel, representing 13 States, be-
gan yesterday the taking of evidence
asked for by the Supreme Court as
q result Of the injunction suits filed
to restrain Illinois and the Chicago
Sanitary District in the diversion OF
water from Lake Michigan.
The proceedings opened what Is ex-
pected to be a three-week collection OF
facts bearing on the old controversy
between the Sanitary District. It's
mother State and the complainant
States of Wisconsin, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York. Allied with Chicago and Hi
nois are the States Of Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Mississippi.
Former Secretary Of War Newton
D. Baker opened the session. Mr..
Baker asserted that Canada also was
in a violent state Of protest because
Of the continued diversion OF water
by Chicago. He charged that Chi
cago had gone ahead diverting water
from the lake in defiance of War De-
partment authority until the surface
level of the lakes below Lake Superior
and as far as Montreal had been low
cred from to 8 inches.
The lower levels, he said, have in
5ured that section of the country
which ''is the Nations bread basket
and meat hamper" damaging trans
p6rtation and harbors and seriously
hurting It's economic life.
Hugh S. Johnson, representing the
attorney general Of Illinois. declared
the injunction proceeding was based
on "selfishness. The proper plaintiff. i.
he said, was the United States, and
not the defendant States
illinois acts in the interest OF the
Great Lakes-to-the-Gulf waterway"
he said. adding that 1.-The stopping
Of the diversion would cause little
change in lake levels.
AS special counsel for Mississippi
Valley States allied with Illinois, Dan
iel Kirby contended that continued
diversion of water from the lakes into
the Illinois and ultimately into the
Mississippi rivers was essential to
the very existence Of river commerce"
Shutting off the lake waters, he
argued, would imperil the future or
the Mississippi Valley. and that would
be nothing less than national
calamity.

MONTICELLO, N. T., November g..
Charles Wise. 16-year-old Brooklyn

mer with his arrest on a charge OF

wound in the head and a cash in the
forehead, was found beneath pile Of
stones beside the Neversink River,
and the boy was arrested a week later.
The States case was based largely
on circumstantial evidence. District
Attorney Foster sought to prove that
the boys cheap revolver fired the bull
let which was taken from the plan-
lists head, and testimony of firearms
experts. appearing for the prosecu-
ton, supported his claims.
The defense countered with the tes'
timony of another expert, who assert
ed as strongly that the bullet could
not have been fired from the gun,
which the boy declared had never
killed living thing. In addition, the
woman with whom the boy boarded
at Bitter Sweet said the gun had been
hidden away in her home for days be-
fore and after the murder.
When the acquittal was announced
the crowd applauded. The jury was
