In Order for Distinguished
+, Guest.

Washington-The contemplated
departure of President and Mrs.

tive at rustic Cedar Island lodge,
which will be the summer White
House.
The summer paradise that the late
Henry Clay Pierce, st. Louis oil man..
conceived in the midst of thousands
of acres Of virgin timber is equipped
with all modern conyeniences, but

making an effort to present an appear
ance worthy Of the summer capitol Of
the United States.

pendent for its sustenance upon the
trade of the farmers of the northern
part of the county, has awakened
from its lethargy. The towns main
street, extending two blocks, with the
business buildings on one side facing
the railroad tracks, will be oiled, and
electricity, brought to the community
only last September, may illuminate
it. At both ends of the thoroughfare
large archways proclaiming hospital
fly will rise on cedar posts. Build
ings are being repaired and painted.
The town hotel, managed by A. j.

villages limited communication sys.
tenn, is full, and the proprietor is con.
sidering an extension of facilities for
an anticipated heavy summer business
by construction of a tent colony.
The small Congregational church on
. side street, where President Cool.
idge is expected to worship, is being
repaired. The congregation decided
to spend $500 for a new roof and

At this point Matthews broke down
and Sobbed.

to get his family Ola of there, that the
dam was going to bust. He said to me,
Dave. I'll move them to NewhaH to-
morrow
"That was the last time saw him.
My brother and his family died that
night"
Chester Smith, another witness, told
how he also had feared the dam as
the result of seeing the leak in the
west side of the huge retaining wall.
He slept that night in his barn with
the door open. The barking of the
dog awakened him. Then came the
crash of trees and telephone poles as
the water wall struck them. Smith
dashed $50 yards to the home of a
ranch employe and the two dragged the
latter's wife from bed. The trio in
night clothes made for the hills and
reached safety, with feet bleeding and
clothes in rags from scrambling through
the brush.
Smith said he had expressed his fears

to take him seriously.

TELLS OF WARNING
lDAM MIGHT BREAK
Witness Says He informed
1 Valley Residents After
Leak Was Found.

BY the Associated Press.
los ANGELES, March 23.-The st,
Francis Dam disaster cast its shadow
over the little settlement in San Fran
cisuuito Canyon for two days before the
huge concrete wall collapsed. bat the
warnings that were issued as a result
lacked sufficient force and authority to
cause immediate evacuation. The re-
suit was the loss of some 4So lives and
untold property damage.
Such was the testimony revealed be-
fore coronor's jury here in which
several residents of the area immedi-
ately below the dam told their stories
AT least two men-L. Berry. power
house foreman, who died i'll the deluge,
and Dave Matthews, a survivor. saw
the warning. Matthews testified that
he and Berry had inspected the dam
Saturday. March q ttlle break occurred
Just after midnight March iSl, and that
Berry had said:
Boys. the dam is not safe"
Robert &. Atmore. rancher living
above the dam. testified that he had
sounded warnings up and down the
valley TO that effect.
on Monday tthe day before the
breakl William Mulholland. chief engi-
neer Of the Los Angeles Water Bureau
and builder of ST. Francis Dam, to-
getl1er with II. A. Van Norman, his
chief assistant. inspected the concrete
structure. and. while they found that
everything was not as 1t should be,
there were no indications OF an inn
mediate break.
Matthews testified that upon visiting
the dam Saturday with Berry they
found "tl1e old road washed in, the
hillside soaked with water and an extra
large amount of water coming down
the spillway." This indicated that the
huge lake was Seeping through the
earth at one end of the structure.
ION Monday evening Mr.. Berry said:
BOYS. the dams not safe. I have got
orders 10 put all the logs in the tunner
TO stop the water from flowing down
the aQue6uct' This was designed to
step the few into the dam from above.
