MISSING LINK
FOUND in OIL
FRAUD in |. A.


LOS ANGELES, Aug. 90 R9-The
district attorneys office today an
nounced discovery of letter written
two years ago by an official of the
Julian Petroleum corporation which
NV pave the way Tor recovery of
millions Of dollars through civil suits
against the pool lenders who parti-
cipated IN the attempted refinancing
of the corporation prior to its COL
lapse.
The letter, signed by G. IT. Conroy,
secretary of the company, and adj
dressed to local bank, established
the fact that j. G. Bennett, now be-
ing sought on felony indictment, was
financial representative of the oil
concern. Civil suits against these
lenders, many of whom have been in
dicted for usury and more serious
charges, have been held up because
Bennett, who was an associate of E.
G. Lewis, indicted president of the
corporation could not be found and
definite connection between lender and
corporation established.
District attorneys investigators SAID
the letter would make this connection
as basis for civil suits totalling ap-
proximately $9O,OOO,O0O, and probably,
would result in virtual abandonment.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug. 23
E9 Mining the world over has re-
ceived incalculable benefits by the
development of the art Of flotation.
Ore deposits have been converted into
enormous bonanzas. Millions have
been paid in dividends Great armies
of men receive employment, all
through the agency of flotation, while
the development of this method OF
treatment is still in its infancy.
This was the gist OF today's dis
cussion at the sessions of the Ameri-
can mining congress. j. O. Elton,
manager Of the international Smelt
ing company, presided at the morn
ing session and Galen H. Clevenger,
Boston consulting metallurgiSt, pre-
sided in the afternoon.
Speakers produced an impressive
array OF fact and statistics to illus
trate how. with the dwindling re-
serves of direct smelling ores, the
mining and smelling industry mas
been saved from ruin in the inter-
mountain territory by fIotation.
Valuable discussions Of technical
nature regarding the problems arising
in the field of pyrometallrgy and
from the necessity Of smelling an
increased amount of concentrates
were contributed by W. H. Eardiey,
assistant manager of the United
states Smelling, Refining and Min.
ing company; Richard A. Wagstafr,
assistant manager Of the American
Smelling and Refining company, and
A. B. Young, of the Intermountain

had been expended in Arizona by the
government on reclamation projects.
He also told the governors and COM
missioners that "California's sena-
torial and congressional delegations
always, with. but one exception have
voted for these reclamation projects
in Arizona"
The proposal to "junk" the pres
ent canal in Mexico which carries
water from the Colorado river to
the Imperial Valley, by the con-
struction of the all-American canal,
also brought considerable opposition
from the senators and congressman
in attendance who saw in it the
possibilities of a complicated inter
national tangle. It was made clear
by Childers that under California's
proposals for compromises made to
date that no arrangement had been
included for the delivery of any wa
ter to Mexico for the irrigation of
more than 100000 acres of land now
under cultivation in that republic
In this connection Childers declared
that the demand of any of the low
er basin states for more water than
could be benefically put to use at the
present time merely would mean the
water would go into Mexico and
make for a greater development of
land in that section.
Congressman E. T. Taylor of Colo
rado, declared the time was coming
when Mexico and the United States
must adjust their differences over
the Rio Grande and Colorado rivers
and declared it was his belief that
the southern republic would insist
on the determination being made ON
the two rivers at the same time. He
pointed out that with the Rio Grand
rising in Mexico and irrigating land
in the United States that Mexico
would demand some kind of pro-
lection from the Colorado river in
Mexico in return for a continuation
of the policy of furnishing water
for American development through
the Rio Grande.
Californias proposal made today
provided three alternative proposals:
Giving to Arizona and Nevada
their tributary waters, subject to the
condition that any such waters not
used in reaching the main stream
shall be deemed part of the main ;
stream flow for the purposes of the
agreement;
Giving to Nevada 100000 acre feet
per annum frim the main stream.
Giving to Arizona her present
perfected rights to $4,000 acre feet
annually and to California her
present perfected rights to 2,159,0OO
acre feet from the main stream; the
balance of the water below Lees
ferry to be divided equally between
Arizona and California, subject |
however, to the provision that any |
part OF the ALLEGATION of either state |
not put to beneficial use in said |
state with 20 years shall therefore |
be subject to appropriation any use
in either state.
When the questioning began to
show the trend of thought of the
delegates and showed their prefer
ence to the latter proposal known
as the "50-5O" plan, Governor Young
OF California urged adoption by tAe
conference OF a proposal to adjourn |
until tomorrow morning, declaring:

the $3.50 plan and you have us

crew today began its 1927
season by repulsing the gallant chal-
lenge of Columbias crack all-sopho-
more eight and starting the Blue off
on its fifth successive year of,triumph.
There was no doubt of the superior
speed and stamina of the Ellis as they
met and turned back the impetuous
bid of their youthful rivals. Over
coming Columbia's early spurt in the
first quarter-mile, Yale swept on to
win by a length and a half, with
Pennsylvania third and last, three
lengths further behind, in the feature
race of the triangular regatta on the
Housatonic River.
1t was the fifth straight victory for
the Ellis over these rivals and gave
them possession of the new Blackwell
Challenge Cup, the varsity trophy put
into competition this year.
The triumphal Yale varsity that
fully measured up to the high stand
ards Of its predecessors was the
climax of a day of sweeping triumph
for the blue-tipped oars OF old Eli.
The pupils of rowing's modern mir
acle man. Ed Leader, also won the
Junior varsity and freshman races in
convincing fashion, all over the same
tWo-mile course, with Columbia the
runner-up and Pennsylvania last in
each event.

BERGER, TUCKER MAY GO
WHEN BUCKY CUTS SQUAD

Irving Hadley has revealed anything
except promise of future worth.
But Harris is apt to maintain
his pitching staff at 10. AS games
go now, two or three hurlers gener-
ally seem necessary in a single fray
and mound corps large numerically
are needed.
G0sIin Much Improved.
A wire from Jack Onslow, who is
with Goose Goslin in Pittsburgh, came
to Secretary Ed Eynon late today;
| ''Goslin is much better. Says he feels
really better than when he left Wash
ington. VIII join club in Chicago" :"
The Goose does not know much about
illness, having been quite healthy most
of his life, and he probably was more
frightened than i'll, when taken from
the train to Mercy Hospital in the
Smoky City early Friday morning
The news was very pleasing to Harris
for he feels his club will need all the
attacking power 1T can get to head off
the rampaging White Sox in the next
series in the West.
Goslin, by the way, banged the ball
for healthy figures in the 16 games in
which he participated before falling a
victim of pleurisy, but he did not clout
at quite the average so many papers
about the country credit him with
Instead Of batting at a .413 rate the
Goose hit for .406. Most batting sta
tigtics give Goslin one two few times
at bat in the 16 engagements. He has
been at bat Cd times for 26 hits. The
Goose got s hits in IL times at bat
against Red Sox pitchers in the initial
series of the year, and hits in II
times at bat against the pitchers of
the Athletics in Washington.
In ythe three games Nationals play.
ed in Boston Goslin got hits in IL
times at bat. Then he appeared in two
games against the Yankees, one in
Washington and the other in New
York, and he got 3 hits in 7 times at
bat. In two games in Philadelphia
he got 3 hits in times at bat. At
Washington last Sunday he got hits
in times at bat against the Red SoX
slabmen. Last Monday in 3 times at
bat he went without a hit for the first
ftime this season. 1t was Waite HOyt
of the Yanks who ended the Goose 5
streak. And Goslin has not played
since.
The above figures are those handed
out by the official scorers in the cities
| in which the Nationals have played.
They may end many arguments.
Walter Johnson went through q
/ long workout before today's game, and
| believes he will be strong enough to
take turn in championship battle
after another week. The big fellow
is not likely to be sent into a game
until the Detroit series. the last of
! this trip. While the broken bone has
healed nicely. Trainer Martin feels the
pitcher should wait until his left leg
has fully regained its strength before
| going TO the hill for a regular test.
