Ri.E.SClND PACT

80
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 10 (H0.-,.
Thep. signature of Governor George
H: Dern made senate bill No / by
Auerbach part of the Utah state
laws this afternoon. The bill simply
repeals. thee agreement by Utah to
the six-state pact among states or
the Colorado river basin. A clause
contained in the bill made it efrec-
tive upon being signed by the gov
ernor.
In transmitting to the state sena,e
notification Of his action, Governor
Dern stated that his prompt action
was the result of the urgent requests
of tho united congressional delega-
tion from this state in Washington
and he could only assume, as he be-
lieved the members of the legislature
had assumed, that the senators had
good reason for their requests.
The governor also pointed out 20
the state legislature that the repeal
cf the six-state pact exposes the
state of Jtah' to certain dangers
from which it had been believed that
the pact would, in measure, protece
the-r state He urged, therefore, im-
mediate consideration of construc-
tive. program and made two SUCCESS
tions: aOneaof these was memoriai
to the federal power commission OF.
the state legislature asking thar
commission to grant no application
for power sites on the Colorado river
until the, states of the basin had
reached some agreement. Governor
Dern stated that the construction of
the storage reservoirs on the river
would under present conditions
create rights which would be to the
disadvantage of Utah.
Similarly the governor urged
memorial to congress in opposition
to senate bill 1856 by Senator Cam
eron. of Arizona, which provides TOR
II power project on the Colorado
river near the Laguna dam and
would, the governor believes, also
serve TO create rights inimicai to the
interests, of Utah.
The governor urged the legislators
to proceed in the consideration of
Colorado river matters in spirit of
friendIiness to the lower basin
states and in the hope that present
differences might be adjusted

Solicitors campaigning for funds

Mons Christian association for 1927
themselves pledged more than 10 per
cent of the $500 goal at their set
UP meeting Tuesday night, and un-
official reports from campaigners
yesterday indicated that more than
20 per cent of the total had been

Hedges in trade are acceptable.
OF interesting note at this time is
the fact that George Young, winner
of the California channel
swim, received his first swimming
instruction in a Y. M c. A. The
San francisco Examiner has this to
say about him:
Later when Young came back to
Toronto to live, George used to go
swimming in the tank at the West
ern Y, NJ G. A. He could swim the
length of the tank at seven and
when he was eight he made such
remarkable progress that he at,
tracted the eagle eye Of Johnny
Walker swimming instructor.
For the next two years Walker
put George through a careful pro.
gram of training and when he was
ten allowed him to compete in his
first race. His youthful protege
won and from then OIL Walker knew
that he had found world beater.
He is the best swimmer in the
world today, bar none," says Walker.

PREDICTS Hymn
BOOTLEGGERS

A picture Of q group Of boot.
leggers Of the future. dealing ex-
clusively in choicest" hymns was
shown delegates to the general az
sembly of the United Presbyterian
Church today by Edgar MacDill, Of
Cincinnati.
Mr.. MacDHl had sided with those
in the assembly opposed to the ar
bitrary combining Of the psalter and
hyrnnal, which was approved last
year.
''Unless the people Of the indi-
vidual congregations are given an
opportunity to pass on this ques.
tion." he said, 1--WE win see q unique
type of bootlegger within the
church. He viii introduce hymns
other than those approved by the
general assembly"
The entire session this morning
was taken UP with q discussion Of
this matter. The assembly last
year adopted q committee report to
combine their psalter with a hymnal.
Since that time numerous objections
have been raised, aimed largely at
the so-called arbitrary action Of the
assembly.
Presbyterians over the country
fear the introduction OF Tight and
irreverant hymns" The pslams as
David wrote them, they say, are
inspired devotional praise. They
are opposed to any action which
may lower their standards.
It appeared this morning. how
ever, that the assembly would sup
port the action of their committee
and refuse to rescind their action,
Delegates to the assembly occupied
the pulpits in 40 Washington
churches yesterday, while the re-
mainder OF the 800 delegates at
tended services In the wallace Me-
mortal Church, where the assembly
sessions are now being held.
The message Of the Wallace Me.
merial Church was brought by the
Rev. NJ. g. Kyle, newly elected
moderator of the assembly. DR..
Kyle, who is an archeologist, stated
that recent archaeological discoveries
bear evidence of the truth OF the
Revelations set forth in the Bible.
DR.. w. D. Irons, Of Pittsburgh,
delivered the sermon and admin
istered the sacramental rite at the
annual communion service Of the
assembly yesterday afternoon.
A combined meeting of the Chris
tan Endeavor Societies Of the
church, held in the Wallace Me-
mortal Church last evening, was
addressed by Moses Shaw, young
peoples secretary Of the assembly.

HOOVER HERE To
MAKE REPORT

Secretary Of Commerce Herbert
Hoover returned TO the Capital
today to make q first hand report
to President Coolidge on conditions
in the flood-devastated lower
Mississippi Valley.
He probably will spend consider
able time at the White House to-
morrow.
Hoover returned to Washington
this time to care for pressing de-
partmental matters, to report to
President Coolidge upon the scope
of devastation in the southland, and
to outline vexatious problems OF re-
construction.
There Is tremendous pressure
throughout the South for q more
generous policy on the part of Fed
eral Government in the work Of
rebuilding the 1900 square miles
Of flooded territory. The people of
Louisiana particularly feel that the
Federal government should come to
their aid with emergency action, but
those representing the Administra-
ton have taken the firm stand that
the States are able, with their own
resources, to establish a credit ma
chine which will do the work.
For those utterly destitute, these
officials believe, the still swelling
resources Of the Red Cross win be
adequate without supplemental
funds from the Federal Treasury.
Still another problem in the maze
of flood aftermath in Washington Is
the already vigorously discussed
question of q future permanent
policy Of flood control. Secretary
Hoover during his five weeks in
the lower Mississippi valley declined
repeatedly to be drawn into this
controversy, In which the advocates
Of bigger and better Ievees are at
loggerheads with the proponents Of
spillWays and reservoirs, particu.
larly aggressive In the spilIway
ranks are the commercial and finar-
cial interests Of New Orleans. where
high water, even without overflow
ing the city dikes, periodically takes
heavy toll in slackened business
activity during periods 81 uncer-
tainty.
| Secretary Hoover IS prepared TO
place before the President en- out
line Of the elements OF this prob
lem as they were presented to him
during his travels through the
flooded regions Of louisiana, Ar
kansas and mississippi.

MONA LISA
IN SPAIN

MADRID, May 30.--A new Mona
Lisa has recently been discovered in
Longrono. Spain.
But this "Gioconda" of 1927 is a
living likeness to the celebrated pic
ture which hangs in the Louvre in
Paris and is no other than Senorita
Celia Marquinez, modest Spanish
beauty born in Pamplona.
Those who are familiar with the
famous portrait by da Vinci have
been struck by the great resemblance
between this woman of the twentieth
century and that Of the sixteenth.
Her head and face are of the
same shape with the hair arranged
in much the same manner and her
smile is just as enigmaticaI.
Cinema directors are trying to get
Senorita Celia to sign up important
contracts.
