MRS. MCPHERSON
QUESTIONED ON
CHECK TO HARDY
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26.-Aimee
Scmple Mcpherson made q brief ap-
pearance today before the state as
sembly committee Investigating the
act of Superior Judge Carlos Hardy
in accepting a $1,000 check from
the internationally known woman
evangelist.
Mrs. Mcpherson was to have been
questioned regarding her asserted
kidnapping in 1926 and in what capa-
city Judge Hardy served her then
but the lengthy examination of an
other witness upset the schedule.
The evangelist testified only to
her itinerary. She said she intended
to leave Monday night for San
Francisco so the committee, at
tempting to establish impeachment
grounds against Judge Hardy, or
dered her to appear at the hearing
to testify Monday morning.
Judge Hardy is accused of viola
ting the state law inasmuch rs he
gave legal advice to Mrs. McPher-
son and received pay while he was
sitting on the superior bench.

REPORT H0OVER'S
CABINET NEARLY
COMPLETED NOW
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. 90
One of the most pressing problems
facing President elect Hoover when
he returns tomorrow from his three
day fishing expedition, is selection
of secretary of state.
He still is seeking a man for this
office, it is learned. He has prac-
tically completed selection of the
rest of the cabinet. The President
elect and his party were out in their
small boats again today, trailing
their lines for sail fish and other
fighting varieties whose conquest
furnishes real sport.
Picking secretary of state, gen
orally regarded as the most impor-
tant cabinet posti has become a real
job. Considerable pressure has been
exerted from several quarters re-

lection of an outstanding man who
will inspire national and interna-
tional confidence.

available. 1t has been proved to be
successful and economically cheap.
The plan of the district power
project calls for the building of five
water power plants and one reserve
plant. The sites are located as fol
lows: Rositas dam, AT foot drop;
Alamo dam, 1872 foot drop; Number
Eight heading, 13 foot drop; Tube
rose heading, 1912 foot drop, and
Spruce heading, 1412 foot drop.
Hydroelectric power plants using
propeller type wheels are operating
successfully at drops of only ~
feet. The lowest drop contemplated
in the hydro-electric plan of the dis
trict is 13 feet.
AS originally outlined the engi-
neering estimate of the cost of the
building OF the hydro-electric sys-
TEN for the valley was placed at
$l,7c0,000. 1t was advised by the
bond commission, however, that the
figure be increased to a maximum to
give full provision for any possible
contingencies of construction and
installation. The new figure is
$2,100,000.
Ernst, who led the opposition, sug-
gested that it is not feasible to un-
dertakc a precarious hydro-electric
development project in the Imperia
Valley at this time, when it is
realized that it will be possible to
develop a much larger amount of
power at the Pilot Knob sites under
a plan by which they would be
amortized in from three to four
years.
He reviewed the different factors
involved in the proposed low head
hydro-electric plants and said that,
in the light of established engineer
ing practice, they are "doomed to
certain failure" because their cost
is underestimated and they would
operate at a loss. He reviewed the
experience of the government at the
siphon drop plant at Yuma and
claimed that, while it was designed
to produce 1000 kilowatts, it d0esn 7
reach that figure and that in more
than three years its greatest general
ing capacity has been "'cXactly
| 900 kilowatts. This, he stated
was accomplished at an installation
cost of 1924 per kilowatt, or more

DISTRICT AND POWER COMPANY
OFFICIALS OUTLINE PROPOSALS

Tie hydro-electric power project
proposed for the Imperial Irrigation
district canal system was discussed
from all angles including construc-
ton and finance during a debate
last night at the McCabe school be
tween Chief Engineer NJ. j. Dowd
of the district and Carl C. Ernst, as
sistant district manager of the
Southern Sicrras Power company
and an electrical engineer, and r. p
Moore of the Imperial Ice and De-
vclopment company, speaking with
Ernst.
Dowd, who spoke first, declared
that if a power development system
is to be had in the valley now is the
time to begin. Despite adverse criti-
cism of the proposal, the district
engineer declared, the proposal has
been presented in detail to the Cali
fornia Bond Certification commits
sion and has been approved by that
body.
the canal system were outlined by
Dowd who explained that the local
project is in line with the Pilot
Knob and the all-American canal
proposal, Nothing will be done in
the district, according to the engi-
mecr, which will not fit in with the
all-American canal project when it
is completed.
The problem which confronted the
district in bringing about such a
project earlier, was the matter of
producing electrical energy from
Glow heads" or short falls, Dowd
said Until recently the speed de-
veloped by hydro-electric machinery
was not sufficiently high to make
possible a profitable power develop
ment except where the fall was
relatively great.
Within the last few years, the
speaker said, engineers have solved
the problem of low head develop
ment by means of what is known as
the propeller type hydraulic turbine.
The turbine has a water wheel made
similarly to a ships propeller and is
exactly suited to utilize low head
drops available in the district canal
sN stem. 1t is capable of developing
highest sp; cific speeds. so that the
generator used is of a minimum size
and the resulting total cost of the
plant is low.
Now Used at Yuma
Such a wheel now is in use on the
Yuma reclamation project and is in
general use throughout the country
where only low heads Of water are
