AGED ENGINEER
RESIGNS FROM
|. A. BOARD
by United Press Leased Wire

Los ANGELES, Nov. 14.-Wil-
liam Mulholand, founder of the Los
Angeles water system and builder
of the st. Francis Dam which col
lapsed last spring causing more than
30 deaths, has resigned as chief
engineer and general manager Of the
City Bureau of Water Works and
supply.
His advanced ag-he was 73 last
Scptember-and his desire for lcis-
ure prompted his action, he said.
In accepting his resignation, the
board OF water commissioners de-
mandcd that he remain with the
bureau in an advisory capacity.
For 80 years, Mulholland served
with the water system of Los An
gelcs and for the past 26 he partici
pated as chief engineer and general
manager.
He supervised the growth of the
water project from a puny 100000
structure 10 one now valued at $780,
100000. The entire aqueduct and
dam system necessary to bring wa
Ter 10 tue CITY WAS uPNIScu bN nliI.
Friends of Mulholland conceded
today that the tragedy which grew
from the st. Francis Dam break
fastened his desire to retire.
The veteran engineer took the
matter of the tremendous loss of life
as personal responsibility.
His attitude was indicated during
an inquest conducted while the Sanj
Ia Clara River valley still was seek,
ing its dead.
Interrupting line of questioning
intimating that his subordinates
might have been responsible for the
disaster, Mulholland said bruntly;
''If the dam was at fault, then the
blame is mine
Mulholland attempted to resign
the day after the dam broke but the
board of water commissioners re-
fused to permit the action.

All the pOmp, glamor and romance

fully reproduced in "The Wedding

The lavishness of TINS production
is easily understood when it is re-

rected it. For years the name Won
Stroheim has been synonomOus with
pictures noted for their elaborate
ness.
Won Stroheim also plays the
leading role in the picture and wrote

is supported by Fay Wray, as
"Mitzi,o George Fawcctt, Zasu

The beautiful love scenes between
the young Austrian prince and the
little harpist; the solemn impress
siveness of the huge cathedral and
the gorgeous portrayal Of church
ceremonies; the glamor of Vienna
court life under the Hapsburgs; the
deep patlios of the stlfled lives OF
the peasants; all these unite to give
the picture a realism which raises
it far above the usual run of such
films.

JUDGE CONKLINC
CITY ATTORNEY
FOR San DIEGO

Judge NJ. W. Conkling, formerly
Judge Of the superior court of I'm
perial county, has been appointed
city attorney for San Diego, sue
cccding James f. O'Kecfe, who re-
signed recently. Judge Conkling
qualified for the position and as
sumed his duties today.
Until his departure for San Diego
a little over year ago. the judge
was closely identified with FL Cen
tro and Imperial Valley activities
since the early days. He was born
in Missouri 81 years ago, educated
in the schools there and came to Los
Angeles in 1887, whore he began
the study of law. He was admitted
to the bar in 1890 and was named
deputy district attorney for Los
Angeles in 1892.
He came to the valley IN 1895, and
helped to organize the county gov
crnmcnt when Imperial county was
formed from San Diego county. He
took an active part in the fight be-
tween FL Contro and Imperial for
the county seat, and is credited by
many pioneers with having won the
fight for FL Centric.
Judge ConRling was first city at
tolney for FL Centre and later was
chief counsel for the Imperial IT,
rigation district In 1920 he was
elected to the superior court bench
and was defeated for reelection in
1926. lie resumed the practice of
law in this city, associating himself
with his son in law, Harry w. Hor-
ton, Judge Kendall b. Perkins and
Edward B. lIcrvcy. When the firm
opened an office in San Diego,
Judge Conkling moved to that city
to conduct its affairs there.
His appointment to be city attor-
ney, following his short residence
in San Diego, is pleasing news to
his many friends in the valley. The
judge took leading part in social
and fraternal activities here and is
a past exalted ruler of FL Centre
lodge of Elks and is member Of
the Knights Of Pythias.
