POWELL FIRST NAVIGATOR
OF THE COLORADO RIVER

through Grand Canyon, with the idea
that it would be good route over
which to send coal from Colorado to
the Pacific. He with several men start
ed down the Green river from the Rio
Grande & Western R. r. crossing.
He had light boats, and though
Powell had cautioned him, did not
even carry life preservers. They
reached Lees Ferry, but couple days
later, Browns boat capsized in a
whirlpool and his body never was re-
covered. Two days after that two
of the others drowned, whereupon the
rest climbed out of the canyon.
Stanton, cEiief aide to Brown, who
had been with him on the ill-fated
trip, that same fall organized another
party, with far better equipm ent. He
launched out below the upper Cata-
ract canyon late in November. He
reached Lees Ferry Christmas and on
New Years day passed over where
Brown had been lost. Stanton had
a hard time of it, but persevered, and
reached salt water in the Gulf of
California April &c, 1890.
In 1897, N. Galloway and VIM.
Richmond, Morn son trappers, went
through from Green river to Needles
in light boats in 36 days.
In the winter of 1909, during low
water, Galloway and J. F. Stone,
Ohio banker, went most of the way
through the canyon in flat boats.
George Clark with two men also
succeeded in getting clear through to
Needles There we're several other
attempts, partially successful.
Kolb Brothers, Ellsworth and Eim-
ory, of Grand Canyon, accompanied
by Bert Lauzon, also of that place,
made the whole trip several years
ago, taking pictures and even moving
pictures. They encountered many
terrific obstacles.
Emory Kolb three years ago was
chief guide for the celebrated govern
ment expedition led by Col. Birdseye,
in which E. C. Larue, government
typographical engineer, conducted
survey of possible damsites. This ex-
petition accomplished its purpose with
out loss of life though several times
one or more of the party had thrill
lingly narrow escapes and one night
tremendous rise of the river while
the party were asleep in box canyon
made them work desperately against
terrific odds in the darkness for many
hours before they were assured of
safety.
Right now the Pathe-DeMille pict-
ure corporation is organizing to make
the trip under the guidance of Mr..
Larue.

Local Scientists Hunt
For Cause of QuGkes

(Coconino Sun of Oct. z, 191O)
DR.. Percival Lowell Mr.. Lampland,
Weather Clerk Hackett and Ray Bah
bitt went out to the earthquake coun-
try Tuesday by automobile, to try
and discover just what was bidding"
They report very pleasant trip es-
pecially that portion which was made
over a very rocky road (Which by the
way was not the right road) after
dark, and the side trip of 80 or 40
miles that they made down the Tuba
road, going out before they discovered
that they had passed the forks at
Dead Mans Wash. They experienced
a great many shakes and several vio-
lent upheavals while out there, but
they were caused by the rapid undu-
lations in the road that did not re-
suit from volcanic activity. Howev-
er, they drove 120 miles on II gal
Ions of gasoline, which is going some
in this country, and indicates that
most of the roads out that way are
fairly navigable for automobiles.
They returned at 10 o'clock at night,
to the relief of their relatives and
friends. The shakes continue, but
from all appearances the disturbance
is merely a settling between the lava
and limestone. Nothing serious is
expected from the shakes.

z0na in 1919

Noise of Elevated
 Train Nerve-Racking

Chicago, Aug. 16 LP)-The noise of a Chicago elevated train heard from a distance of half a block is more nerve-racking and louder than the take off roar of Col. Charles A. Lindberghs Spirit of St. Louis," tests made by Prof. Donald A. Laird as a psychology experiment reveal.
 Prof. Laird, head of the depart ment of psychology at Colgate uni versity but at present an instructor at Northwestern university, is the inventor of an audiometer which he took with him yesterday on a flight in a plane equipped with whirl- wind motor like the motor in Lindbergh's plane. The meter reg istered 65 units. A half block from an elevated train the meter indicat- ed 75 units.

 BY CHAPLIN CASE
Three Prominent Stars Called as
 Witnesses

Los Angeles. Aug. 1s LP, - The cast had started to gather today for the climax of Charlie Chaplins do- nestle tragedy. in which Lita Grey Chaplin's sensation laden divorce complaint and the comedians count CT suit programmed for trial next Monday. serve as the scenarios.
 Preparations for the trial scenes went forward amid clouds of rumors and reports that a property settle ment was being negotiated or being effected. Despite denials by attor- neys that a settlement had been either made or received, the reports persisted that questions of money and the custody of the two children. already conceded by the comedian to their mother. would be arranged out of court.
 In that case, the trial probably would be a tame affair with a de- cree being granted by default and seven women, three of them prom inent motion picture actresses" ac- cused by Mrs. Chaplin. and "a cer- tain young man." mentioned by the actor. would never lose their anonymity in court.
 The 19 year old wife of the actor had the advantage, if any, of being on the ground waiting for the judge to call ''camera." Enclosed in the Chaplin mansion from which she fled last November with the two small sons of the actor only to return armed with a court order giving her possession, she awaited either a trial or a possible 11th hour settlement.
 Chaplin himself. after an absence of months from the California film colony, departed yesterday by auto mobile from Del Monte en route to southern California. But one of his attorneys was on the ground, Lloyd Wright. His New York counsel, Nathan Burkan. was with the comedian. and Gavin McNab, one of the leading members of his counsel, was in San Francisco as was Nc Nab's associate, Nat Schmulowitz.

STOCK PRICES
REACTI0NARY
Selling Believed Induced by
Fears Of Huge Increase in
Brokers' Loans

New York, Sept. 26.-lR)-Stock
prices turned reactionary after an
early display of strength today.
Selling was believed to have been
induced largely by fears of huge
increase in brokers' loans this week
as result Of the conversion Of
General Motors stock. Banks called
about $10,000,O00 in loans during
the morning, but called money ap-
peared to be in plentiful supply
around the renewal figure Of four
per cent.
Outsido the stock market, chief
interest centered in the sharp rise
of $3.50 bale in cotton on reports
of unfavorable crop weather in the
southwest.
Strength and activity of the pub
lie utilities, dozen of which at
tanned new peak prices, featured the
early tradings. Moderat sains were
recorded in number of mercantile,
food. oil, tobacco and motor shares.
Renewal of selling pressure
against the steel shares reflected
disappointment over the failure of
the expected fall pickup in demand
and opel atoms. "Bear" traders
launched another offensive against
some of the specialties, breaking
New York Air Brake five points on
the publication Of DOOR semiannual

a similar decline in Houston oil in

DEMPSEY TO
FILE APPEAL
WITH BOARD
If Illinois Commission Is Ada
mant, Appeal Will Be Made
to National Body

Chicago, Sept. 2G.-(AP)-What-
ever appeal Jack Dempsey and his
manager, Leo Flynn, may file with
the powers that control professional
boxing, the decision that gave Gene
Tunney last Thursdays champion
ship fight seemed today as indelible
and ineradicablc as that spectacular
fight itself.
Dempsey and Flynn, before leav-
ing yesterday for New York on the
same train that carried Tex Richard,
the promoter, said that a letter had
been written the Illinois boxing COM
mission asking it to award the
heavyweight championship to Demp-
sey. The claim is based upon the
knockdown Dempsey scored in the
seventh round and the disputed
count that followed as Tunney re-
NAMED on the canvas.
Flynn indicated that an appeal
would be made to the national box
ing commission in the event that the
Illinois commission stuck to it's de-
termination to uphold the decision
that gave Tunney the fight.
The national boxing commission is
an association Of the commissions of
Is states, banded together for the
purpose Of uniform regulations of
boxing. Its headquarters are at
Baltimore.
To those familiar with the opera
ton Of the national commission, it
seemed most improbable that it
would offer much solace to Flynn.
