100000 FOR
TRACKS At DAM
Government Accepts Offer
OF Railroad on Globe
And Bowie Line AS
Cheapest Way
PAYMENT AT ONCE

TUCSON, Dec. 23 (AP) - The
United States government will pay
the Southern Pacific railroad ST.
000,0 for the reconstruction of
Is miles of track along the Cool
idge dam on the San Carlos In
dian reservation on the Gila river,
according to an announcement
made today by Major c. R. Olberg,
assistant chief engineer of the I'm
tied States Indian Service, and de-
signer of the Roosevelt and the
Coolidge dams.
Major Olberg arrived in Tucson
today accompanied by G. H. South
worth, also of the Inland service,
who is to be resident engineer at
the dam. The two experts con-
ferred with E. j. Fenchurch, gen
eral freight and passenger agent
Of, the Southern Pacific here.
Counter Offer Made
"Some time ago, the Southern
Pacific made an alternative offer
to the government, under which
the railroad agreed either to- bear
half4of the 1cost of rebuilding the
tracks, which lie between Bowie
and Globe, Arizona, or to, accept
reimbursement for approximately
Ione-half of the work; namely, ST.
100000.
"The government has just elect
ed to accept the latter alternative,
and will pay the company $1,000,-
600 outright, the company agree
ing to handle the work of recon
struction."
"Work on the dam has already
begun Major Olberg said. Fore
es of the general contractor, At
kinson and Spicer, of Los Angeles,
arrived December 21, and camps
are being built.
Construction Delay Seen
"It is possible to complete the
dam in Is months, as an engineer
1
ing proposition, though much de-
pends on how the river behaves.
AS a financial problem it may
take longer. The maximum time
prescribed under the general con-
tract, which was awarded the 9TH
er day, is two and half years"
The labor and equipment cost of
the big project, under the general
contract, will be $2,26S,000, Major
| Olberg said. To this must be add
ed the estimated cost of materials,
which the government will fur
nish, and which will amount to
about $1,100,000.
The Coolidge dam will be of the
multiple-dome, or egg-shaped type,
which will eliminate one-third of
the cost of construction. The la
Dor and materials saved will ag-
gregate $1,250,000. The multiple
dome dam makes use of what en-
gineers know as the "arch prin-
ciple."

$4,000, 600 Lotta Crabtree Estate
Case Ends at Boston; Decision Withheld

Lolita, his marriage and the birth
of a daughter, Carlotta.
Administrators of the estate,
contending that Mrs. Cockburn is
no relation to the late actress and
has no right as an heir-at-law,
were contended with a handful Of
witnesses, most of whom told stor-
les of Arizona frontier days, deal
ing with the loose moral codes Of
the time and tending to cast doubt
on the legality of Crabtree's mar
riage.
Attorney James NJ. Hoy, coun-
sci for Mrs Cockburn, in his clos
ing argument, told the court that
I'VE have proved our case, 1000
per cent by forty witnesses"
I'VE ask your honor he said,
'to find that Carlotta Crabtree
Cockburn is the last of the Crab
trees, last of the flesh and blood
of Lolita Crabtree, and we conf
IDENTITY expect that you will say she
is the legitimate daughter Of john

M'DERMOTT ON WITNESS STAND
/ SAYS KASCH0LK KILLED EDITOR

CANTON, Ohio, Dec. % (AP)-
Patrick Eugene McDermott today
told his story. to the jury trying
him for the murder of Don r. Mel
lett, Canton publisher here. His
version from the witness stand
not only contained denials of his
participation in the alleged, con-
.spiracy, but included the claim that
he twice warned Mellett that his
life was in danger.
Defiantly he clung TO his story
through an hour of direct examin-
alton and two hours of gruelling
cross s-examination. He openly ac-
eused Prosecutor c. B. McClin-
took of framing him" and main
tanned that Steve Kascholk, the
states star witness, was one of the
murderers. He denied knowledge
of either of his co-defendants, Ben
Rudner' and Louis Mazer.
McDermott often sneered when
he mentioned Kascholk's name and
at, every turn attempted to shift
the blame to him. Wherever Kas-
cholk had accused him, McDermott
struck back with a like accusa-
ton.
He admitted having been engag-
ed in bootlegging at the time OF
the murder and admitted selling
liquor for Ben Nadel, Cleveland,
one of those who aided in hiding
him when he was sought through
out the country for two months in
connection with the murder. Tn
disturbed he refused to divulge
the name of a person who hid
with him in Cleveland and held his
ground through several attempts
to get him to tell who the person

ORDER SAILORS
AS PROTECTION

Dispatch of Rear Admiral

Believe Rebel Force
Halted Industry
CRUISER ON DUTY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 90 (AP)-
A force of American bluejackets
has been landed at Rio Grande bar,
Nicaragua, to protect American
and foreign lives and property,
the state department announced
late today.
The department said that Rear
Admiral Latimer had sent word
from his flagship, the cruiser Ro-
chester, that he had sent ashore
landing body of sailors and was
proceeding himself to Puerto Ca
bezas. No further details of the
situation which prompted the land
ing were given.
Rio Grande bar is assumed at
the state department to be at the
mouth of the river of that name
ON the east coast of Nicarauga.
There have been no previous diff
culties encountered by American
Sand- other foreign commercial in
terests in this region, now control
led by the rebel revolutionistS
against the Managua government
which has been recognized by the
United States.
Admiral Latimer himself is pro-
ceeding on his flagship to the chief
center of the revolutionary move
ment at Puerto Cabezas, which is
also is in east coast close to the
Honduran border. l.
In the absence Of any explana-
ton from the admiral, state de-
partment officials were inclined to
believe that interference by the
revolutionaires with the movement
of hardwood lumber by American
and other foreign companies has
caused the naval commander to
put ashore a bluejacket force.

meagerIy to clothe and feed his
wife, Angeline, and his son, Joseph
six years old. SO he started out
to canvas the town from house to

Somehow this brought enmity on
the little cobbler and last week he
received a letter in which he was
ordered to stop drumming trade
on penalty of having his shop and
the dingy rooms behind it where
he lived with his family blown to
pieces. The cobbler turned the
letter over to postal authorities
and continued on the rounds.
This morning, before the town
was awake to any great extent,
there was a sudden roar that could
be felt for ten miles around. The
Baldwin Tavern jerked upward

Butler Says
"We Scrapped Our Ships
and Europe Went Ahead
With New Ones; He

WASHINGTON, Dec. % (AP)-
America was fooled" into scrap
ping her navy while other sigma
tories of the 1922 arms treaty have
violated the spirit of the agree
ment by building more ships than
they discarded, Chairman Butler,
of the House Naval Affairs COM
mittee, declared today in a state
ment published in the Army and
Navy journal.
Butler is author of the bill now
on the House calendar to authorize
construction of ten light cruisers.
The realization had come to him,
he said, that government must be
by force and an international arms
agreement could be obtained only
by fear. He added that America
had no cruiser that would invite
any fear whatsoever.

Il would like the American peo-
pie to be told what the American
commissioner told the House nav

periences while sitting in the Gen

which America was invited and in
which America gladly Joined in
the hope that an. agreement would
be reached providing for a limita-
tion upon cruiser, construction he
said. ~

lean people to know that some of
these nations which are standing
out against America include the
fighting Balkan states that have
neither ports nor ships and want
America to interfere in the land
armaments of Europe to their ben
efit-and they are not concerned
in naval armament at ALL"
"Our commissioner were invited
to sit upon the washboard on the
back porch and were permitted to
go home through the back gate.
The next time they attend the con-
ference they will find not only the
front gate and the front door open,
but they will be invited to sit on
