CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Assailing
the Boulder dam project as physic-
ally and economically unsound, Col
onel w. Kelley, Buffalo, New York,
told delegates to the third annual
midwest power conference that
"California s support on the meas

"There is no physical or econo.

either the All-American canal, the
power project or the municipal wat

"The only reason for such com

HAVANA, Feb. 15.-Pan Ameri-
can Union delegates today feared
that Dir. Honorio Pueyrredon, chief
Argentine delegate, had withdrawn
from the conference after his refus'
al to sign union constitution un-
less it contained an anti-tariff
clause.
1t was admitted that such with
drawal would mar the entire con-
ference already facing the necessity
of confessing inability to do the
work it set out to do.
An hour after the time set for
meeting of the Pan American Union
committee, DR.. Pueyrredon and his
fellow Argentine delegate. Lauren
tino Olascoaga, were absent.
Delegates Immediately suggested
among themselves the possibility
that Puevrredon had decided not to
participate.
Up to the time of meeting. no
solution that was regarded as hav-
ing chance of success had been
suggested.

MT. SIGNAL HAS
CROWN OF SNOW
AFTER STORM

Snowballing on top Of Mt. Sig
nal would be possible today, clouds
lifting about noon revealed a snowy
crest contrasting brilliantly with
the deep blue Of the mountain.
Telephone calls to pioneer resi-
dents of the valley confirmed the
fact that snow in such close proxi-
mitv to Imperial Valley is a record
breaker. A further check, however,
revealed that the last snow probab-
" fell MT. Signal in 1901.
'rIt was in February, 1901, that
we had a real snow storm in lmper-
ial Valley Arthur Edgar reported.
"Snow fell on the desert at. that
time.' The authenticity of the
SLOW storm is vouched for by Ray
Edgar and Leroy Holt.
Glimpses of the mountain range
to the west which were possible
through heavy clouds early this af-
ternoon indicated that glorious
panorama of snow covering all
mountains back of the first hills
! will be visible as soon as the clouds
lift.
Crop damage due to the rain was
problematical at the hour of going
to press. Fear for young cantaioupc
vines, should the weather clear at
this temperature, was expressed.
Blossoms on a number of cantaloupe
vines in the Mt. Signal district were
found yesterday by j. B. Norton,
cantaloupe expert. Damage to let
tuce will depend entirely on the
weather following the rain, which
i'll itself does no damage, other than
interfering with cutting. Either
frost or warm weather following
the rain would do considerable dam
age to the crop, Horticultural Conn
missioner b. A. Harrigan stated.

PEACEFUL
END FOR
ASQUITH.
Former British Premier
Dies Following Short
Illness.
BRILLIANT CAREER
Held High Post During
Early Years of World
War.
by United Press LEASED Wire

SUTTON COURTNEY, England,
Feb. 15.-The Earl of Oxford and
Asquith, one of England IS great
political figures and prime minis
ter during the early stages of the
World War, died today at $50 a. M.
He had been i'll since Sunday
when lie was stricken with an at
tack OF pharyngitis and had been
in coma most of the time, unable
to recognize immediate members of
his family who had gathered.
The members of the family be-
sides the widow were Sir Maurice
and Lady Violet Bonham-C Carter;
Princess Bibesco and the four sons,
Herbert Asquith, Brigadier General
Arthur Asquith, Cyril and Anthony
and Cyril's wife.
Death came peacefully to the Is
year old former prime minister,
who for two score years had been
one of the outstanding politicians
of England.
At 6:30 n. m., doctors notified
his family that he could not live
until dawn. His wife, Margot AS
Quith, whose memoirs caused n sem
sation some years back was already
at the bedside, having been almost
in constant attention for the past
so hours.
At 6:50, doctors announced Lord
Oxford was dead.

Asquith will be buried at West

n unless it is found that he request

The venerable Lord OXford-he

The last in Great Britain of the Vic
torian school of silver tongucd or
ators. Lord oxford s sonorous SEN
tcnces, polished and rounded out
with frequent classical illusions,
were famous.
1t was n brilliant career that Lord
Oxford-Herbert ii. Asquith-had
rounded out and career closely
woven in the history of Great Brit
ain for the last 40 years.
He was an excellent student at
oxford University and went directly
from college into politics. His first
election to the House of Commons
was in 1886. Six years later he was
made home secretary.
In 1894 he married Miss Emma
Margaret Tennant-the Margot
whose memoirs created sensation
in England and America alike-was
his second wife.
He became prime minister in 1908
and held the post until late in 1916
when his cabinet became dissatis-
fled with the prosecution of the war
and he resigned.
1t was at that time that he and
Lloyd George, his successor in of
flee, became enemies and this
breach had never been completely
healed.
In recent years Lord Oxford who
had aged rapidly, had remained fair
ly well out Of political life.
There were three sons and one
daughter by his first marriage and
one son and one daughter by his
second. His eldest son was killed in
action in 1916.

WEATHER MAY
DEFER FLIGHT
OF "ALBATR0SS'
Scheduled Take-Off On
Thursday Postponed
Indefinitely.

Rain drenching the valley today
has put complete stop to all ope-
rations on the Zenith Aircraft cor
poration plane, "Albatross," at
Sunshine Field. Workmen began
assembling the plane Immediately
upon delivery of the tanks at the
field yesterday, work being halted
last night. This morning the field
was mass of muck and with rain
beating down upon the plane the
officials called a halt to all pro-
ceedings.
This was done in a measure to
protect the runway from being
roughened by workmen and visitors
walking over it while in a wet con-
dition as well as to insure against
the possibility of any defective
work on the installation of the
new tanks.
While there is little added weight
in the three new tanks built for
the plane by the John Kuhn COM
pany, they are much stronger. The
tanks have been sub divided and
where only soldering was used pre-
viously the new tanks are first riv-
tied together, then soldered. The
tanks before leaving the shop here
were put under pressure and show
ed no leakage.
The question of the take-off of
the huge monoplane on its next at
tempt to set world s endurance
record rests entirely with the
weather.
Plans Not Stolen
Officials this morning declared:
"We are ready to make the next
attempt as soon as we complete the
work of assembling the plane and
the weather conditions are favor
able. We had hoped to get away to-
morrow morning but our start must
necessarily be postponed now, at
least one day, by the rain. We are
not going to take any chances this
trip, when conditions are perfect the
plane will take-off. We hope to be
able to get n start with a slight
headwind and with the air damp OF
heavy. The big ship proved its
ability to raise its load in the first
attempt, taking off with record
boad despite light air conditions
and with tail-wind.'
While start Friday is regarded
bv many as rather oDtimistic
view it is possible that the plane
will make its second effort on that
dav. The probable time of a take
off will be between 10 and II
o clock in the morning.
Questioned relative to the report
that thieves had broken into the
Zenith company buildings and made
awav with the plans used in tn"
construction of the Albatross, =
officials said that their place a'
Santa Ana had been broken into
by thieves but that the plans hac
not been disturbed.
