was found to be admirable.

final phase of the Nelligan committee S

ton into the thefts by group of en-
ployes in the commission Office. The
Nelligan committee reported last No.
vember peculations totaled 1910, 1888. II

the accounting system. Since Novem-
Der the committee has been investi-
eating charges that huge sums. in addi-
ton to the thefts. were lost by wasteful
methods and favoritism.

addition to- Chairman John J. Nelligan,
are George M. Shriver, senior vice
president of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company; Jonathan X. Vo-
shell, and Edwin G. Baetjer. who is a

LET US HOPE

Nevada has finally awakened
to the fact that Los Angeles has
sold her a gold brick in the Boul
der Dam grab and is complain
ing bitterly against the proposed
division of power in which Los
Angeles is awarded the lions
share, the rest given the other
states. Los Angeles figures on
future necessity of power and
water but such 3 contention on
the part of Nevada and Arizona
is not to be considered. New
Mexico, with little if any vision
as to the future, allied itself with
the Los Angeles program. Their
attitude has gotten them in bad
with their own water problems.
The Swing-Johnson bill stunt
was good enough for Arizona,
but they do not want the same
principles applied in their water
development scheme. -.
In the light of recent develop
ments, we doubt if there is a
sta te among the seven, except
California, that is not in hopes
that Arizona wins it's suit and
halts Los Angeles predatory
scheme of looting the Colorado
river at the expense of the de
velopment of adjoining states.
The attitude of the Los Angeles
gimme gang" is notoriously a
grab of all in sight for the de.
velopment of Los Angeles, that
the rest of the southwestern
states be compelled to kick in
and help them do it. even if they
have to lay dormant. Los An.
geles has no interest in the rest
of the southwestern states, ex
cept to drain them financially
and take their resources. if il
can do it by preponderance OF
lobby money and political power.
It is hoped that the supreme
court of the United States may
legally find that the develop
ment of the whole southwest
means more to the United States
than the mere development o1

FAMOUS RUNNERS TO PASS

One of the most unusual long

Arizona will be started Decem

This sensational race will be
between Brooke Renshaw and

has the credit of being the only
person to defeat Paavo Nurmi

1924 Olympics. Renshaw was
born in England but became
naturalized and was a student at
the University of Virginia where
his remarkable running career
started. His record of AZ min

Renshaw defeated the famous
flying Finn in England last year
and again equalled his record.
Renshaw has defeated such

Grand Jury Refuses to h. dict Deputy Who Kill
 ed Illinois Woman

GENEVA, H., April 26. = The Grand Jury has decided not to in- dict Deputy Sheriff Roy Smith for the staying, during a dry raid, of Mrs. Lillian Deking, but it is re- ported the jurors debated for some hours on the proposal to indict the husband, Joseph, on liquor charge. This was after 10 surprise wit nesses said they bought liquor at the Deking home.
 One true bill was voted, that charging perjury of Eugene Ford Fairchild, whose affidavit charging he brought liquor in the Deking home, led to the raid. Fairchild told the jury he had not bought the liquor himself but heard liquor was being sold there.
 Mrs. Deking was shot and killed after Deputy Sheriff Smith had clubbed her husband into uncon- sciousness.

Canada acknowledges that the I'm Alone had been rum run ming for a number of years but contended that the vessel was be- yond an hours run from shore and the sinking was too severe a pun ishment.
 Arbitration followed Canada's re- fusal to accept the United States contention that the Coast Guard was within right in sinking the ship recently off the Gulf coast.

COPPER INDUSTRY
 WOULD STABILIZE
 PRICE AROUND 2I
By STANLEY w. PRENOOSIL (A. P. Financial EditOr)

NEW YORK, April -Stabiliza- tion of copper prices around 21 or g cents pound is understood in Wall street to be the aim of lead ing producers.
 A shortage of the red metal re- contly sent the price to 24 cents a pound, but relatively little metal is reparted to have been sold at that figure.
 The so-ca11ed customs smelters were permitted to sell nearby cop per abroad at 22A cents by the copper export association in order to liquidate their positions and permit them to do business safely on a cash basis, Practically all of the large pro- ducers have contracted for the sale of their entire output up to July !. Few orders have been taken for delivery beyond that date because of the possibility of labor troubles or some other unforeseen emergency which might interfere with pro- duction.
 Current deliveries are being made at prices agreed upon several weeks ago before the sharp run-up of the price of the metal
 Rumors that the high prices for copper had led to an extensive use of copper substitutes are not taken seriously in the industry.
 These rumors generally are asso- ciated with the automotive indus try, but it was pointed cut that only about six per cent of the an- nual output is consumed by this industry and that the amount of copper used in each automobile averages less than 20 pounds.
 A difference of as much as 10 cents in the price of pound of copper would mean, therefore, cnly $2 car.
 The electrical industry, wh c | consumes between 60 and 65 per cent of the annual output of cop per, still is the industry's best con- sumner. Demands from electrical concerns continue large and show signs of increasing, rather than de- creasing, because of the new cleo trification projects, rapid expansio'. of existing facilities and the steady growth of the number of new ele,- trical devices, particularly for household use.
 One of the principal producers would like to see the price of cor per stabilized to prevent speculation to the detriment of the actual con- sumers of the product. Most of the large companies suc- ceeded in making profits with cop per selling at IA cents a pound and price 50 per cent above that level nets them handsome return which they do not want jeopardized i by wild speculation in the commod- ity

COAL PROPERTY MAY BE SOLD;
 MONEY RAISED
Admiralty Island Stock holders Meet-De-
 eide Issues

The possibility Clat the Admiralty Island Coal Companys holdings may be sold to capitalists in the States, was one of the several issues discussed by the stockholders of the company at the meeting held Wednesday evening. The stock holders turned out en masse and heard Howard Lerch, Secretary Treasurer of the Company, favor ably report on the results of his recent trip south, made to interest capital for the further development of the coal property.
 Of great importance to the fu- ture of the company was the de- cision reached at the m c ct in g whereby the stockholders raised a fund that is to be used to obtain a report from a prominent coal en- gineer, to pay his expenses and sal- ary north, so that this report, which we officials of the company believe will be most favorable, can be sent to interested financial men in the south" said John Beck, when speaking of the meeting.
 MT. Reck stated that the value of the coal property has been estab- lished beyond a doubt. All that is needed to turn the property" or to develop it on large scale, is the report of an established and prominent engineer. This report, MT. Beck also stated, would be ob- tained beyond a doubt as the pre- l liminary work on the property has in every respect been satisfactory
 A part of the fund raised at the meeting of the stockholders will said MT. Beck, be used to pay the operating expenses of work that is being done at the mine at this time "A small crew has been at work on the property over the winter and is taking out high grade of coal every working day" he said.
 "The meeting was the most
 harmonious gathering of stock holders since the Company was formed They all realize the value of the property and are anxious tc develop it or to prove it's worth to capital that will develop it." saic MT. Lerch, speaking of the meet ing.
