Senator Demands
Speeding Up Work
Of Tariff Measure

WASHINGTON, July 9.-(P)-
Speeding up Of the tariff bill work
by the senate finance committee to
insure its preparation for the SEN
ate by the time the recess ends
August 10 is demanded by Senator
Watson of Indiana, the republican
leader.
His move is seen as the first step
in an administration effort to wind
I'D the tariff contest before the reg
ular session opens in December.
Chairman Smoot of the committee
has been apprehensive Of late that
the bill wouldn't be ready by August
19.
President Hoover wants this high
ly controversial legislation out of
the way and on the statute books
before the biennial congressional
campaigns begin next spring. The
republicans want to keep the i'm
pending tariff struggle in the senate
out of that campaign, If possible.

TWO VACANCIES
ON FARM BOARD
Hoover Expected to End
Appointments In Time
For First Meeting

WASHINGTON, July 9.-(P)-
Only two vacancies remained today
in the membership Of the federal
farm board, and President Hoover
expects to have these filled in time
for the appointees to attend the first
meeting Monday.
AT least one of thees vacancies is
to be filled with a man experienced
in the production and marketing OF
wheat, likely to be the first COM
modify which the board will attempt
to sctabilize through enjoyment Of
part or all of the Sc~S,cSJ,000 already
made available out Of its $780, 600 900
revolving fund.
The other vacancy may also go to
a representative of this division of
agriculture, but the president has
experienced considerable difficulty
in making a selection in that field
and is known to have desired, in
the beginning at any rate, to have
a banker on the board. If, as has
been suggested, he has abandoned
the idea of including a financier in
the membership, it is regarded as
most likely he will attempt to give
either wheat or cotton a second
spokesman.
The appointive membership was
brought up to six with the accept
ance Of the place as representative
Of the dairying industry by William
F. Schilling of Northfield, Mimi,
president of the Twin City Milk
Producers association. w. S. Mos
Grip. secretary-treasurer of that or
~ganization, was offered the appoint
ment but declined.

LOS ANGELES, July 9.-(P-

East Whittier school in the sub

building damages. The concrete
structure, fifteen years old, was
badly cracked in the extreme wings
and a part Of the roof and walls
fell. 1t had been closed for the
summer. Other buildings were also
damaged in Whittier and vicinity.
Two children were hurt when a
washing machine overturned, and
two oil field workers at the Santa Fe

struck by falling objects from der

two producing wells were stopped by
the Quakes.
The shocks, while most severe at
Whittier, were distinctly felt
through the suburban beach towns
from Santa Monica to Long Beach.
In Los Angeles buildings rocked
perceptibly, but no damage was re-
ported.

AUSTIN, July 9.-ExtenSive at
tack upon the application of j. T.
Franklin Of Edinburg for a permit
to take water from the Rio Grande
to irrigate 1882 acres, scheduled
before the water board by repre-
sentatives of water improvement
districts in Hidalgo and Cameron
counties, was upset at opening OF
the hearing Monday afternoon
when E. F. Smith, attorney for
Franklin, announced Franklin pro-
poses to provide storage reservoirs
for water, thus taking flood waters
instead Of normal flow" Pre-
yiously it had been understood he
proposed to pump the water direct
ly from the river.
The hearing was started, with
three witnesses on the stand Mon
day, after Chairman Norris OF the
water board ruled the board would
consider application only in con-
nection with storage, and the issue
before the hearing was made the
extent Of storage to be required.
The application seeks two acre feet
of water per acre per year.
Has Authority
Hearing was interrupted when
the petition Of Franklin was at
tackled by Attorney Seabury on be-
half Of the Guerras, owners Of TO-
600 acres Of land in the proposed
district on the ground the Guerras
did not wish to be included Is no
storage project. He declared that
the issue of building reservoirs was
the essential one in the case. Chair
ma Norris said the board has re-
fused permits where the applicant
does not own land or have authori-
ty from owners for securing permit.
Franklin replied he has written au-
thority on about So. 1000 acres of the
proposed 10000 acre district. Steps
to form the area into a district have
not been taken. The issue was also
raised that the proposed irrigation
district, Is miles from the river,

AUSTIN, July 9.-Application of
j. T. Franklin for a water permit
to irrigate $4,000 acres of Hidalgo
county land with two acre feet of
W3Ater per year was attacked as i'm
practicable by E. M. Card, engineer
for various Valley projects.
IN second days testimony before
the board Of water engineers, Gard,
questioned by JuGge Seabury, as
serted cost Of the irrigation system
Including three years interest would
be s11 ,000, 900 or $4,000 an acre
without reservoir sites and that no
site is available for over 10000 acre
feet Of storage.
He said this would figure out from
SIT to $40 an acre for irrigation, or
double average Valley rates and
could not be borne by the farmer.
Judge Seabury attacked the pro-
ject as against the public interest"
after the water board limited the
hearing to consideration of the per-
NIT only in case storage should be
provided to take the water from
storm and flood waters of the Rio
Grande. Engineer w. g. Anderson
continued his testimony to show at
least half the water supply would
have to be stored, and w. e. Thorn
as, San Benito farmer, testified the
lack of water for 80 to 80 days
would destroy crops.
