handled for Herbert Hoover all of the

habilitation of peoples in the war

campaigns for antiouated Presbyter-

STATE COLORADO RIVER
COMMISSION AT GLEN
AND MARBLE DAM SITES

All but two of the members of the
new Arizona Colorado river commits
sion left Flagstaff Sunday morning
for Glen Canyon dam site on the
Colorado river near Lees Ferry to
make a reconnaissance survey of that
dam site and the next feasible dam
site west in Marble Canyon.
The plan is to assemble the princi-
pal facts concerning these sites in adj
vance of the conference on the river
problem scheduled to be held soon be-
tween Arizona, California and Ne
vada.
1t is the belief of the commission
that it will easily be able to prove
that the first great dam to be built on
the Colorado river can be built at
Glen or Marble Canyon at very much
less cost than at Boulder Canyon, the
site for which California and Nevada
contend.
Aside from the fact that it is a
much greater distance to bedrock at
Boulder Canyon than at either Glen
or Marble Canyon, it is impossible to
bypass the river at Boulder Canyon
during construction of the dam, as is
easily possible in Glen Canyon.
The reason the commission is in
vestigating Marble as well as Glen
Canyon is because, members of the
commission say, they believe the
water can be by-passed there also, and
they believe it likely that transporta-
tion of building materials from the
railroad to the dam site would be less
expensive were the dam built at Mar
Bile than if it were built at Glen Cam
yon. There is long haul at Glen
Canyon from the river level to the top
Of the mesa at the dam site, with a
total climb of about 1900 feet, it is
said, that might add an expense to

DEATH WILL BE
IN VESTIGATED
Cor0ner's Jury Believes Drake
Farmer Died After Being
Beaten and Robbed

Minot, Dec. 23.-R)-Although
he maintains q belief that Olaf
johnson, farmen who lived near
Drake, died following q drinking
bout, Sheriff Carl Hanson Of Nc
Henry county today announced that
he has reopened the investigation at
the request of persons who believe
that the aged bachelor was mur-
dered.
Several residents Of Drake. it is
said by the sheriff, have reported
that johnson had about $500 in his
possession q few days before he was
found. none Of which had been
found. While citizens who cling to
. murder motive believe that the
bachelor was beaten and robbed, the
sheriff thinks that the bruises found
on his body were caused from falls
in his. shack. and that he had hid
den the money.
Find He Was Beaten and Robbed
A coroner's jury which was en-
panelled ut Drake by DR.. @. S.
Craise Of Towner, McHenry county
coroner, returned . verdict finding
that johnson had been beaten and
robbed, and that death subsequently
resulted, although not as : direct
result of any beating.
His belief that johnson died q Z
result of 1lcoholism' is shared by
States Attorney Albert Weber oi

Scalp Nearly Torn From Head
and Deep Cuts on Arms and
Leg--Husband, Who lnflict-
ed Wounds With Steel Wag-
on Rod, Being Held Without
Charge

Little hope was held here today
for the recovery Of Mrs. J. w. Lytle,
Hazelton, who was beaten almost to
death by her husband Wednesday
night.
X-ray pictures taken at a local
hospital disclosed that Mrs. Lytle
suffered three fractures Of her right
arm and that she also sustained a
bad fracture of the skull. In addi-
tion to these injuries the scalp was
nearly torn from her head and she
has numerous deep cuts on the body
where the steel wagon rod, used by
Lytle in administering the beating,
cut through the flesh to the bone.
Lytlc is being held in the Emmons
county Jail at Linton without
charges having been preferred
against him. The states attorney
of Emmons county said today that
he will hold Lytle without charges,
other than enough to keep him jail,
until the outcome of Mrs. Lytle's
injuries is determined. The woman
was still semi-cOnscious today.

The crowd surged across the

Lindbergh took off at once in order
to avoid running into the uncon-

Of the people dashing here and

Approaching the situation, and
to escape the clamorous crowd

Provincetown, Dec. 23.-(AP)-A
rescue fleet which reluctantly turned
to salvage operations when attempts
failed to save the last six survivors
Of the crew Of 40 men aboard the
sunken submarine S-4, today was
rushing efforts to raise the craft
but with seemingly little prospect
Of success until next spring.
Work will go on while weather re.

able all operations will be suspended
Rear Admiral Frank H. Brumby has
announced.
His announcement sounded q
death knell to the hopes Of the most
optimistic, but to naval officers ION
the scene it had been foregone con-
clusion ever since the zero hour yes.
terday morning, when rescuers sor.
rowfully accepted the fact that life
no longer existed in the submarine's 3
forward compartment.
Death Believed Certain
When the four-hour period had
elapsed after divers had succeeded
in connecting an air line to the tor.
pedo room, and there came no signal
to indicate that the men who had
lived for hours in that sitting at
mosphere still breathed, rescue op-
erations were definitely at an end
Naval officers had declared that il
there was no response within four
hours, presumption Of death became
a certainty.
Today, in the fact of a predicted
storm after two days of fine wealth
err, the fleet rushed the work Of
washing a tunnel under the bow Of
the craft through which iron chains
will be passed.
These chain1 will be used to at.
tach pontoons when actual raising
is started.
A force Of 20 divers, in two
watches, will operate from the mine
sweeper Falcon, flagship Of the erst-
while rescue fleet.
Divers Work in Pairs
The divers are to work in pairs
with one using high-pressure com.
preston hose while the other holds
a powerful submarine light and
stands by.
Should the weather hold fine, there
is q possibility that the Sd may be
brought to the surface within week
but this is considered an outside
possibility.
The navy departments order that
the salvaging be done ''as soon as
possible" was interpreted to mean
as soon as it could be accomplished
without endangcring the lives Of the
divers.
In any event, should the Sd re.
main at the bottom until next year,
no attempt will be made now to re.
