BLAME LAID ON
DAM ENGINEER
Disaster Held Result of Bad
Construction.

Bp United Press
LOS ANGELES, April 13.--Wil-
liam Mulholland, veteran conStruc-
tion engineer, bore official RESPONSE
bility today for the st. Francis dam
disaster.
Although no criminal prosecution
was recommended, the coroner's
jury which investigated the collapse
Of the dam and the resulting loss
of life found that Mulholland had
used bad judgment in its construc-
ton. Mulholland is chief engineer
for the Los Angeles Water and
Supply Department.
The structure collapsed, the jury
decided, because it was built upon
an inferior rock structure and be-
cause the construction plans were
faulty.
Theories that the disaster might
have been caused by dynamite or
an earth movement were dismissed
briefly.
The jury, composed of engineers,
criticised the water bureau for its
laxity and censured State policies
which permit one man to act
entirely alone in the gigantic con-
struction project.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 13.-
IN -Four New Orleans girls, dis
covered as stowaways on three
naval vessels, today announced
they didn't want to go back home
and that they would hitch-hike to
Philadelphia.
The girls, dressed in Navy uni
forms, we're brought ashore and
given tickets to their home city.
They had been discovered when
the three Navy vessels were two
days out Of the gulf.
1--WE wanted to have some fun"
one of the girls said, in eXplana-
ton of the prank that will lead
to three different Navy inVestiga-
tions.
The girls are Rose MCGUIRE, 16,
and Billy LAGER, who were aboard
the U. S. S. Concord; Flossie Rice,
who was on the U. S. S. Sands,
and Pamilda Avery, who was on
the U. S. S. Dobbin.
They said they boarded the YES
sci Sunday night. They claimed
to have made arrangements for
food for the long cruise Of the
fleet.
All the vessels we're en- route to
Northern ports after maneuvers
in Cuban waters and had stopped
at the Southern port merely for
a day.
The presence Of the girl passen-
gers was not discovered until the
ships were well out at sea again
on the homeward voyage. Details
Of their finding were not given in
the brief official messages received
at the Navy Department.

Four women and three children
