/ never should have called on him
to ask him for a loan;
He greeted me most kindly and l
thought my chances good
When l asked him for assistance,
but he sighed: Il wish I could. -
His pleasant face turned solemn
and his eyes filled with tears,
His voice seemed strangely plalnt-
i've as it fell upon my ears;
He started in to tell me of the
many loans he'd made,
And he sobbed upon my shoulder
They will never be repaid"
My boy" he slowly whispered, and
I shuddered at his groanS,
I've done nothing all this morning
but deny requests for loans.
Then his tears upon the carpet fell
like raindrops on a lake,
And 1 begged him to excuse me
for I thought his heart would
break.
I'm a man in need" I told him
but I'm tender hearted too.
And it hurts me TO consider that
I've brought such grief to you.
Dry those tears and cease that
sobbing. AS a friend I wish tc

Should l raise that money else
where I will lend it TO your
bank"
President Ferguson announced
that Otis Smith would have the
program for next week.

Trips which Kip Rhinelander has
made to Carrara, the Boulder Dam
site and other points of interest
around Las Vegas have been the
merest part of the young mans pro-
gram of becoming a genuine citizen
of Las Vegas, but they serve to
show the interest he has taken in
the country into which he has
come and in which he intends to
remain, it was explained yesterday
by Harmon and .Salter, attorneys
for the young man who has lived
here for months under the name of
Lou Russell, his true identity kept
faithfully secret by the few busi-
ness men and friends who knew
who he was.
Choosing not to dwell upon the
widely discussed likelihood of his
filing suit here for divorce from
his octarooh wife, and the proba-
bility that she will come here from
New York to fight 1t, the lawyers
especially enjoyed telling of a trip
Rhinelander took to Carrara, where
he got his first look at gold mining
operations as they are carried on in
this state.
Meets Mining Characters
He met F. Ray Boggs, president
of the Gold Ace company and of
the Nevada Airlines Inc, and noted
mining men such as Briz Putnam,

New Plane for
Rise at Angle
Experiments at Milwaukee
Would Adopt Helicopter
Principle; Would Use Two
PropelIers.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. June IA, U.H)
An airplane employing tn eprin-
ciple of the helicopter and yet
radically different from most verti-
cal lifting contrivanceS, is under
construction here.
The device, admittedly purely an
experiment. will be equipped with
two propellers, devoted entirely to
the job of raising the plane, in ad-
dition to the usual screw type pro-
peller at the nose of the craft.
The vertical lifting blades will
be located beneath each wing and
will be driven by a Hispano-Suiza
motor in the fuselage through an
arrangement of bevelled gears.
A tryout of the strange flying
machine will be conducted in July
by Jess c. johnson of Delray
Beach, Fla, its inventor. The ma
chine is being constructed by the
Hamilton Metalplane Co., here.
Johnson's plane, if it is sue
cess, will not rise vertically but
will enable a takeoff at approXi-
mately a As degree angle with all
three propellers spinning. Landing
also could be accomplished more
abruptly than is possible with all
ordinary type machine.

10000 Increase
In River Flow to
Reach Here Soon
Flow of o5, 100 Second Feet
Due in Few Days; Present
Flow, Estimated at $4,000
Peak Expected This Month

A great raise in the Colorado
River is due here within the next
few days according to authorita-
tive information received yesterday
by the Age and the Boulder Grand
Canyon Navigation company.
A flow of 95 100 second feet was
passing the Grand Canyon yeSter-
day morning, it was reported. The
present flow is estimated at around
$4,000 second feet according to
Paul SwartZ, of the Navigation
company. This means that within
a few days the flow will increase
about 10000 second feet near Las
Vegas, based upon that estimate.
Engineer Walter, of the reclama-
ton bureau has estimated that
there will be a 100000 foot flow by
June % which is expected TO be
about the pax, according to Swartz.
The average flow for the winter
months is around $1,000, said
SWartZ, the peak in the springtime
usually reaching around 100000 to
d25,O00 second feet.
The highest flow on record is
said to be 285,O0O, some time before
1910.
1t is these exceptional flows
which endanger the Imperial val
ley, and the other valleys in the
path of the lower Colorado river,
it is pointed out, and it is the dam
age caused by these high spring
flood waters which Boulder Dam
will avert, by holding the water i'm
pounded, and regulating its release
and keeping it steady.

Colorado River commissions from
California. Arizona and Nevada, re-
cessed today and departed for their
respective homes. They held SeS-
sions here for Is days.
Col. William j. Donovan, govern
ment referee. submitted to the dele
gates a formula which he asked
them to consider again when the
conference was resumed at Santa
Fe, N. M. in October.
Submission of the formula came
after more than 48 hours of priv
ate conferences between Donovan
and the various state delegations.
Chairman John L. Bacon Of Cali
fornia said he regarded it as O.
foundation on which future ne
gotiations might be based.
Il feel that the present confer
ence has accomplished more than
any of the previous ones he said.
AT least, we have foundation on
which to build a structure. AT the
end of previous conferences, we
did not have even an excavation
Chairman Charles B. Ward of
Arizona would say only that he
considered the formula a posi-
bility for an approach to the prob
lem at later conference"

w. Malone, was more optimistic
about the possibility of a future
compact than any Of the other
representatives.
II predict" Malone said, IAN
agreement will be reached within
six or eight months and the en-
tire Boulder Dam project will go
through according to schedule.
! Shortly before adjournment Ma
lone asked permission to submit to
the secretary of the interior some

question OF division of power TO be
generated at Boulder DanI. Arizona
commissioners objected. contending
such matters were subject to the
Interpretation Of the interested
states rather than Of the secretary
of the interior Malone asked to
submit the questions informally as
an individual.
The full text of the Donovan
proposal is as follows:
1-That the Gila River shall go
to Arizona.
2-Arizona may use any Of the
now unused waters OF her trIb-
utaries other than the Gila, re-
leasing therefore equivalent water
from her main stream waters.

Of water in the main stream ap-
portioned to the lower basin by
paragraph (A) Of article iii Of
the Colorado River Compact, 300,-
900 acre feet will be apportioned to
Nevada
4-That of the 100000 acre feet
remaining, and of the 100000 acre
feet provided for in paragraph (B)
CT article III of the Colorado Riv-
er Compact, Arizona and California
each shall receive such percentages
as shall be deemed fair and equit-
able
5-That the addional availabie
water in the lower basin shall be
divided equally between Arizona
and California.
6-That the Mexican burden shall
be borne equally by California and
Arizona.

Yellow Bird Has
Eventful Trip

SANTANDER, Spain, June IA, WR,
The French monoplane Yellow
Bird completed the seventh non
stop airplane crossing of the north
Atlantic from west to east when
it landed on the beach at ComillaS,
Is miles west of here on the Bay
of Biscay, at $50 o'clock tonight
$3.50 pm. eastern standard time.)
Four men made the flight. They
we're the planes crew of three,
Jean ASsolant, Rene LefeVre, and
Armeno Lotti, and Stowaway, Ar
thur Schneider of Portland. Maine
The flight from Old Orchard,
Maine, which the fliers left at
9:10 eastern standard time OIL
Thursday. was made in 80 hours
and 20 minutes.
Assolant made an easy landing.
The gathering darkness compelled
him to land to avoid a Smashup
in a forced landing later.
The four men decided to spend
the night at Santander and con-
tinue to Paris, their destination,
tomorrow.
Their great adventure was ended
by a shortage of fuel. Head winds
encountered over the Atlantic had
exhausted their supply as they
neared the coast of Portugal. Asso-
liant was determined to go on to
Paris and continued along the
shore line of the Bay of Biscay
after reaching the continent, hop
ing to go as far as possible before
landing.
ASsolant had hoped to follow the
coast as far as Bordeaux, but when
his fuel gave out, he made safe
landing on the beach at Comillas
shortly after dark.
The flierS were only $50 miles
down. The tanks contained almost
from Paris when they were forced
no gasoline. They did not dare at
tempt to make the short flight
across the Bay of Biscay to the
Basque country in France.
