TR,OTSKY EXILE
LEAVES ST0LID
RUSSIA UNMOVED

MOSCOW, Jan 10 (H9--Strange IN
deed are history's contrasts.
When France led Robespiere to the
guillotine, ali Paris had been aflame
with passion, but to-day, when the
newspapers for. the first time carried
briefly an official announcement that
Leon Trotsky and his chief aides were
in exile, Moscow went about it's daily
business in is ordinary drab way as IL
nothing untoWard had happened.
1t was as if Trotsky-the very in
carnation of the bolshevik revolt-h2d
not but a few years ago played on the
emotions and thoughts Of these very
multitudes with the ease and grace OF
a virtuoso lingering the strings of his
violin.
For weeks Moscow lay half buried III
snow under heavy leaden sky with
never ray Of sunshine, but today a
bright sun smiled on the city from blue
skies and underneath it the Moscovite6
went about in their leiSurely manner
quietly enjoying the improved weather
outWardly at least, only slightly con-
cerned in the fate of RusSias great
rebel and the historic import of his
downfall
There were no extra troops or any
precautions of any kind taken against
possible manifestation; the same mill
tiamen went on lazily directing traffic
The complete absence of any demon
strative reaction to perhaps one Of the
most tragic revolutionary episodes was
perhaps due to Trotskys failure in re-

CASHIER
KILLS BANDITS
TRYING HOLDUP

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 19 up =
Two members of a gang of bank rob-
berS were shot to death here today in
the ect of holding up the Mount
Scott state bank. Cashier A. j. DEM
crest, who fired the shots, and his
wife who threw an ink well through
a window to give an alarm, defied
the threatening guns of the desper-
ADDE'S.
The dead men were identified by
the police as John Robert Benton,
% and Fred Williams, 80, both of
whom had criminal records at lSpo-
kane, Wash
A determined man hunt was i'm
mediately started to round up four
members of the gang who escaped,
one of whom was believed to have
been wounded by a third shot fired
by Demorest Two cars bearing
Washington license plates sped from
the scene of the holdup Immediately
after the shooting.
Just after the bank opened, the
two men entered, Williams going to
the teller's window where he drew a
gun and ordered three men behind
the cage into the vault Meantime
Benton walked toward the vault.
Demorest emerged from the vault
with the gun in time to encounter
Benton, who raised a pistol and fired,
but missed. A second shot failed as
the gun jammed Demorest fired,
the bullet entering Benton's neck,
Stepping across Benton's body, De-
morest took aim at Williams, who
started to run. Demorest's bullet
went through a glass partition and
struck Williams in the head De-
morest then rushed out and fired at
a man fleeing to a nearby car. Two
cars started and Demorest fired at
one of them. Persons nearby said
they saw a man slump down in one
of the cars, indicating that one OF
the gang was wounded.
The bank was held up and robbed
of $1,000 three weeks ago, and last
night Demorest decided to take the
rifle to the bank today.

measure were passed
Senator Johnson endeavored to
bring out the telegram from the con-
greSsional delegation came immedi-
ately after literature was broadcast
by private power companies in oppo-
sitio nto the proposed development,
but the governor refused to affirm
this contention.
IF we convince you of the con-
stitutionality of this bill, will you
be in favor of it?" Senator johnson
asked.
Eyes, provided, however, that the
legislation is predicated on the seven
state compact and the principles of

replied.

principles are" said Johnson, that

should be paid for. the use Of it. I
do not know, however, what would
be a fair compensation and am not
in position to make an estimate"
The state of New Mexico would not
oppose carrying out of the legislation;
but asks congress to suspend action
until Interstate negotiations are COM
pleted. Francis c. Wilson, Santa Fe
attorney, representing the governor
of that state, told the committee
Wilson stated that the attitude of
Governor Hunt of Arizona is antago
nistic to the states of the upper basin
and that if the governor acts for
the people of his state, he can not
approve Of the seven state compact.
New Mexico, he said, by legislative
action has approved the ratification
of the six-state compact and if the
present measure is passed, he deems
it his duty, as the representative
of the governor, to see that every
measure of protection of New Mexi-
co.'s interests is in the bill He at
tackled several sections of the present
bill, and stated that in. his opinion
the measure is demonstrations, be-
cause no mention is made of naviga
ton in the title and that he finds
nothing in the constitution which
gives congress the right to enact flood
control legislation on non-navigable
streams.
He criticized the language of the
Swing johnson bill and the substi-
tute measure introduced by Senator
Phipps, republican, Colorado, and sug-
gested that both measures be made
to conform with the interstate COM
pact.
Attorney General Boatwright, Colo
rado, read a statement to the COM
nlittee from Water Commissioner
Carpenter of that state, asking that
congress refrain from action on the
bill until the seven state compact is
ratified.

JOHNSON, DERN
BATTLE AROUND
RIVER MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 R-A
battle of wits between Governor Dern
OF Utah, and Senator Johnson. re-
publican, California, enlivened the
hearing today of the senate irrigation
ard reclamation committee on the
Swing johnson bill providing for a
huge dam at Boulder canyon on the
Colorado river.
The first tilt was over Governor
DeTn'S opinion as to the power OF
congress to enact flood control legis-
latiOn. Dern denied this right, except
under a liberal Interpretation Of the
constitution and as an adjunct ) to
the maintenance of navigation.
He told the committee that he
considered himself mediator in the
matter of ratifying the seven state
compact, but Senator johnson main
tanned that his arguments against
the proposed legislation were not
those of an impartial mediator
The Californian repeatedly attacked
this stand of Dern's, asking him again
and again if he was sure he wished
to act as conciliator
Once Johnson demanded if the
Utah governor believed the govern
n1ent had no right to protect the
people Of the Colorado river valley
from the menace of devastating
floods Dern adhered to his conten-
ton that congress was permitted to
act only in the lease of navigable
streams.
Governor Dern declared that if Utah
is protected insofar as water rights
are concerned, the state will be sat
1sfied but he felt that some. com
penSation should be made because
the state has a sovereign right to
the bed of the river and should be
reimbursed for the use of the water
and land
If the government exercises it's
paramount right however, and makes
use of the river, Governor Dern said,
no such principle would maintain and
the states would have no right to
reimbursement.
He inSisedt however, that if such a
right is invoked, there is nothing in
the constitution which gives the gov
ernment the power to regulate flood
control unless question of navigation
is concerned.
Until the seven-state pact is rati-
fled, Governor Dern declared, Utah
will object to flood control in the
Colorado basin.
II do not want to be put in the
position of opposing flood control but
it involves point of protecting
Utah's interest in the waters OF the
rjyer'f
"Then you do not deny such a
right" Senator Johnson asked.
II am no constitutional lawyer, .
the governor replied, "and l do not
want to get tangled up in a discus
sion of constitutional law"
Utah first ratified the seven-state
compact in 1928 and the six-state
compact in 1925. Governor Dern told
the committee that the state legis-
.lature reScinded the six-State ratifi-
cation at the 1927 session, at his sug-
gestion, after he had received tele-
gram from the Utah delegation in

1870 SHADE TREES

345 Removed to Make Way

Lanham Reports.

Three hundred and forty-five OF
Washington's shade trees we're cut down

provements In the last fiscal year ended
June 80, according to the annual report
of Clifford l.. Lanhan1, superintendent
of trees and parkings, submitted today
to the District Commissioners.
Altogether. 1920 trees were removed
for various reasons. OF these l24 were
decayed and dangerous, "a were de-
stroyed by storms, 20 were destroyed bV
automobiles and Z interfered with build
ing operations.
The loss. however, was offset by the
planting of 2.836 young trees. 1881 of
which were set out in hitherto implanted
suburban sections. where the depart
ment made an extra effort to extend the
tree system.
Mr.. Lanham called attention TO the
inability of the department to produce q
sufficient number of trees to keep pace
with the rapid growth of the city in the
present nurseries which made 1t neces-
sary to purchase 200 Norway naples to
complete the Spring planting.
Between 500 and 1000 will have
been purchased this year, but MIR. Lam
ham said If the department Is permitted
TO retain the present nurseries they will
produce in five years the required num-
bar of trees to meet the demand.
The department sprayed 10000 trees
al cost of $500, and spent Sl,244 in
removing broken limbs and trees from
the streets caused by storms.
