Charging that the large
power corporations are re-
sponsible for the attempt to
block action on the Boulder
Dam bill, Senator johnson
(R1 of California, today
sought to disorganize the re-
lentless filibuster which is
preventing any likelihood for
ordinary progress Of the meas
ure in the Senate.
Power Companies Accused
''The real opposition to this
bin. declared johnson" the oppo-
sition which would leave so, 600
women and children to die in
the Imperial Valley, from floods,
the opposition which would pre-
vent any development Of the
Colorado River, comes from the
power companies of the United
States who stand in line to pre-
vent the relief these people so
richly deserve and which their
peril justifies."
The filibuster. led by Senator
Ashurst Cd OF Arizona remained
as staunch as ever, however. on
contentious that building of the
$125, 100000 dam at Boulder Canyon
would rob Arizona OF all its water.
IF this water were taken from
Arizona. it would leave the State
facing a desolate, Insignificant fu-
ture," Ashurst declared.
Johnson countered with charges
that Arizona's real opposition to
the bill WIS its desire to secure a
guarantee that 1t would receive
$4,000. 900 a year royalties" from
the power generated at the dam,
on the ground that Arizona con-
tributed approximately AZ per
cent Of the water which the dam
would store.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 22.-The
bombardment Of Shanghai has
subsidized.
This bombardment, which
was at first believed to have
been from the guns of the
Cantonese armies, now seems
TO have come from a Chinese
gun-boat which mutinied and
went over to the Cantonese
cause and signified its action
by a bombardment Of Shang-
hal.
Attack Seen Under Way
When shell fire became heavy
at 1880 tonight it vas generally
accepted that the Cantonese at
tack had begun. but later there
were indications that the firing
might be coming from Sun Fhua~
Fang's own guns.
Shells Everywhere
A dozen shells have fallen In the
French concession and scores -
shells have fallen in the native
quarters.
1t is not possible to ascertain the
casualties. although no foreigners
have been hurt thus far. A
Chinese servant in the home OF
William Carter Rea. an American
magazine writer. has been injured.
The foreign defense forces are
modified for any eventuality and
heavy guards have been established
to check any influx Of rioting de.
serters from the Sun Chuan Fang
forces.
Ball Is a Failure
Naval authorities in the harbor
took no action against the gunboat
held responsible for the Smelling.
The bombardment came from the
vicinity of the Kiangnan Arsenal.
All foreign defense forces are still

OVER $3.50 is CLEARED
FROM BENEFIT PICTURE
Fund From Sale of Candy, Etc,
Yet to be Accounted For.

More than $3.50 was cleared by the
Oakland Civic Club on Monday and
Tuesday night from the picture 'Men
of Steel" which was given for the
benefit of crippled children through
out the county, according to Mrs. w.
w. Grant, treasurer of the fund.
"None of the money made on the
sale of candy, flowers, and from the
sale of tickets has come in yet" Mrs.
Grant said, $50 that the total amount
cleared may run considerably over the
amount named"
The money is to go for the benefit
of the crippled children whose parents
are not able to meet the expense of
sending them to Johns Hopkins Hos
pital for treatment.
The members of the Civic Club wish
to thank all who patronized the pic
ture house and all who gave candy
and flowers, and the orchestra which
furnished the music and Miss Bess
limbaugh, who rendered two delight
full solos.
