County Engineer
Is Upheld By
State Official

PHOENIX, March % tR)-The long
standing controversy between the CO.
chise county board of supervisors and
the county engineer was settled today
by A. r. Lynch, deputy attorney gen
eral, who held that an emergency tax
levy authorized by the state tax COM
mission has no place in the budget of
a county.
Lynch'S opinion upholds the Cochise
county engineer in the expenditure of
funds for the repair of certain flood
damaged bridges in excess of the
amount allowed by the county board
in its budget. In this case the super
visors estimated that 100000 would
cover the cost of repairs to the bridges
and budgeted that amount. The coun-
ty engineer, however, was unable to
complete the repairs within the
amount budgeted. Rather than leave
the work unfinished, he went ahead
and completed the work and then pre-
sented the board of supervisors with
the claims which they refused to al
low An appeal was then taken te
the state tax commission which re-
ferred the matter to Lynch.

ASHEVILLE, N O. March % H)-
Charging that for more than hall
century the republican party has
been pernleated with favoritism for

classes, Senator Reed of Missouri
tonight appealed to republicans and
Independents to join the democratic
party in ousting the present admin
istration from Washington and re-
moving what he termed "the vicious
system which has produced the de-
plorable conditions now existing"
His speech here was the fourth
delivered in North Carolina this week
in the course OF a campaign tour
on behalf OF his candidacy 1or the
democratic presidential nomination.
In none of these, however, mas the
Missourian mentioned his own can
didacy, but has confined himself
largely to an attack upon conditions
under a republican administration.
There has been, he declared, sort
of continuing conspiracy to syndicate
the government OF the United States, "
resting basically upon the doctrine
that government has the right and
is under the duty to confer grants
of special privileges. This ooctrlne,
he added, sis utterly vicious"

LIFE EXISTS In
OTHER WORLDS
SAYS DR.. RUSSELL

LOS ANGELES, March 28 R)-Life
probably exists on Mars and may ex-
tend to dozens, hundreds or thousands
OF other worlds, Dr. Henry Norris
Russell, professor of research astron-
onny at Princeton university, declared
in an address before students of the
University of California at Los An
geles today.
IF living beings exist on other
worlds, they have probably reached a
stage OF development billions of years
in advance of our own" said Or. Rus
sell The present reasonable theory
as. to the origin of planets would sug-
gest that the earth is more recent than
any other body supporting life.
I'VE, as living things on this planet
are not unique. This Is, comparatively
a very young world and we are beings
who have just acquired the capacity
Of contemplating our origin We are
lacially in our infancy, and not at the
end of time"
DIR. Russell advanced the theory
of planet origin as the most rational
that the sun, at some former time,
was an isolated star, moving in space.
BY mere chance another star passed
the sun and by its extraction forced
portions of the suns gases out into
space. Due to the rotation of the
sun, these gases were unable to re-
turn to their original relation and
were compelled to start their eternal
journey, later cooling into the present
planets.
Dr. Russell established four pre-
requisites as necessary for life, water,
oxygen, earth and 9. temperature be-
tween freezing and boiling points OF
water. He said excessive tempera-
ture, lack of atmosphere or lack OF
water eliminated all known bodies
from consideration except Venus and
Mars.
= Venus has been found to have
no oxygen, leaving Mars as the only
planet with potentialities for inhabi-
tation,7 said Dr. Russell Evidences

ed more than 400 lives, today told
their story at the inquest.
A faint pencil line on a clock
chart recorded the drop of the water
level in the reservoir. Situated on
the center part OF the dam, the
record was left behind and was pro-
duced at the hearing today after
Ed Hendrix, boss rigger, had climbed
hand over hand up a pipe ITO feet
up the inside base. He flung loop
of rope over the metal house that
housed the clock and pulled himself
up the remaining way to the top OF
the 1876 foot dam.
The chart shows the first breal,
in the dam came at 1857 p m,
March IL, the pencil line turning
downward at an abrupt angle and
then plunging to the bottom OF the
chart, showing the dam was wide
open at 1902 a. m.
BY this record and the record @
the power stations below it was shown
that the flood Travelled at rate OF
18 miles an hour.
The closing witness in today'S ses-
sion of the inquest was William H.
H. SlOcum, an engineer VINO hlnSel1
has supervised the building OF nine
dams and who made an independent
survey CT the st. Francis dam after
its collapse.
He declared that in his opinion
"the st. Francis dam Itself was
perfect" and had it been built on a
strong foundation would have stood
throughout eternity" The tounda-
ton OF the west wing, however, he
declared, was OF red conglomerate
and it was this which gave way and

At the conclusion of Slocum's testi-
mony, Coroner Frank Nance said only

ACT CARRIES
CONTINUED from Page one

the title of the bill to name tribu-
tar1es as within tie scope OF the
measure was accepted.
Other senators with long prepared
addresses sat dazed at the sudden
action and even the Oldest attache OF
the senate could not recall that a
measure of such far reaching i'm
portance and one that ultimately will
take at least $50O,O0O,0OO out OF the
federal treasury had been put through
with such swiftness.
Long weeks OF comrn1s:ee room dis,
cussions and many night conferences
had paved the way for the precipitate
actor of today. The bill IN its
present form was in the nature OF
a substitute for one which the cCin-
mittee reported several weeks ago and
which met with disapproval from
many senators, particularly those from
the states through which the chief
tributaries 1T the Mississippi flood.
With a view to obviating a long
fight on the floor over the flock OF
amendments offered to the first bill,
the committee reconsidered the whole
question and decided to put all Of
the cost ON the federal government
despite the proposal OF President
Coolidge that commission be ap-
pointed to study and determine the
division OF costs as between the
federal and local governments.
The measure proposes the construc7
ton of necessary levees, spillways
and flocdways from the head OF the
passes below New Orleans to Cape
Girardeau, Mo-, tC protect the lower
valley from floods and would create
a commission of five, including two
civilian engineers, to study the Jad-
win and Mississippi river commission
plans of flood control to determine
which should be carried out,
While rea1firming the principle OF
local contribution toward the cost
of flood control work which mas been
incorporated in all previous national
legislation on the subject, the measure
states that there has been a full
compliance with this principle by
reason. of the expenditure OF the local
communities of $292,000,0 900.
The chief differences between the
senate bill and that drafted by the
house committee are that the house
measure authorizes a total appropria-
ton OF $473000,0 900 and E.ovides for
the immediate prosecution Of flood
control work on part Of the Missls-
sippi's tributaries.

SENATOR BORAH
REVIEWS DEMAND
FOR DRY PLANK

WASHINGTON March % P-Re-
| neWing his demand that the republi-
can an6~democratic national conven-
tions take definite stand for en-
forcement of the prohibition amend
ment, Senator Borah, of Idaho, in a
radio address tonight declared it was
"the plan among certain powerful in
fluences in both parties to avoid the
/ issues-to Withhold from the voters q
vote upon the question"
If avoiding the issues in the cam
paien was all the avoiding there was
to do" he continued "it would not be
so serious. But the same influences
which will make the political party
spineless will make the adnlinistra-
ton indifferent"
The Idaho republican delivered his
address through station WTFF, oper-
ated here by the Fellowship Forum a
fraternal magazine. 1t was trans
mitted to Columbus, Ohio, for re-
broadcasting for women'S confer
ence on law enforcement. Mr. Borah
had been invited to address the meet
ing but was unable to be present.
During his prepared speech the Idaho
senator referred to the oil scandal re-
peatedly and once to Harry F. SIM
clair, but made no direct reference to
his own campaign to raise funds to
repay thA Teapot Dome lessee the
$160,O00 contributed to the republican
party in 1923.
'The one great instrument of po-
liticaI power" said Mr.. Borah, stands
discredited and degraded, while trust
ed agents enter into a conspiracy with
the bribe giver and the despoiler, not
only to betray the rank and file of
the party but to exploit the nations
natural wealth and compromise the
nations honor.
ITO connive at or consent to or
approve of wrong doing in party man
agement, even by acquiescence, is In
the end to disfranchise and render
powerless the voters of the party The
failure of the voters to repudiate
wrong doing within the party is in the
end to approve of it and encourage it
in the future
Looking ahead to the republican ma
tional convention, Mr.. Borah said
sinclair will not be there this time,
The party may still be under obliga-
tions to him for having paid its debt,
but he himself will not likely be pres
ent. Indeed, we shall undoubtedly
denounce corruption, and insofar as
indignant resolutions can purge the
party and set the party right on this
great menace, that he will do whether
at the same time we dare not defend
and decide to continue to be under
obligation to tlSsnse we denounce, time
alone can tell.
AS for prohibition, the Idahoan as
serted that "at time when the con-
stitution is openly assailed and per-
sistently defied nothing could be more
discouraging or more demoralizing than
for the dominant political parties to
remain silent and thereby connive with
those whose open and announced pur-
pose is to break down and nullify the
constitution.
1T makes no difference how fierce
the battle elsewhere" he added, 'the
18th amendment is neutral territory
and the antagonists meet for consult
