STUDENTS STAGE
R0USINC BATTLE
WITH OFFICERS

CHICAGO, May IA. U.P)-A riot
Gus demonstration staged by nearly
500 University of Chicago students
as a protest against the campus ac-
tivities of "dry snoopers," caused
police to patrol the university's
grounds today as a safeguard
against further outbreaks.
The students, who gathered on
the campus late last night and
started huge bonfire, engaged po-
lice and firemen in strenuous bat
tie and were not dispersed until
they had been thoroughly drenched
by high pressure fire hose.
Resentment arising from reports
last week that undercover operatives
of the federal prohibition depart
ment were to be present at ali fu-
ture rehearsals of a play soon to
be given by the Black Friars dram
attic club was said to have prompted
the demonstration.
HANOVER, N. j., May IA. W.pe
Dartmouth students, in a mass pro-
test against the conventions of male
attire, said it with shorts today.
At least 600 undergraduates, heed
ing the call of the Daily Dartmouth,
the college newspaper, appeared on
the campus in abbreviated pants
which exposed to the chill breeze
from four to six inches of their bare
legs il the vicinity of the knees.
1t was expected that the colo
scheme would be khaki, but Hanover
! residents were treated to the rar,
spectacle presented by abridged
/ breeches in almost every shade OF
the spectrum.
! More of the 225O Dartmouth stu
dnets might have cooperated in the
: shorts campaign but for the fact
that local stores had sold every pail
of curtailed trousers in stock. Hur.
ried orders for fresh supplies have
been wired.
Nelson Rockefeller, son of John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., had heartily en-
dorsed the idea and he was reported
to be wearing shorts today, but
newspapermen were unable to locate
him early this morning.
Walter Chrysler, Jr., son of the
motor magnatc, appeared in white
linen shorts despite the fact that
the mercury was less than a dozen
degrees above freezing.

PUENTE, Calf, May 14.-{U.H
While his wife looked on early to-
day, Rosendo Delgado, 36, of the

DISTRICT MOVES
TO AID BATTLE
FOR DAM FUND
Board Sends Greer To
Capital To Assist In
Lobbying Campaign

From all indications, officials of
the Imperial Irrigation District are
aroused to renewed activities as re-
ports of the progress being made in
regard to the Boulder Dam project
in Washington are released.
At meeting OF the board held
yesterday, the engineering depart
ment was given special instructions
to continue the investigations of the
AI.American canal highline r o m
Gray's Wells, north,. until enough
definite information is obtained to
enable the best location of this ca
nal to be determined. Definite and
absolute information is the goal now
set, and the board will not be satis-
fled with anything less than that.
The previous survey of this route
which had been made is insufficient
to disprove the necessity for high
er level Of the canal. 1t is the opin-
ion of the board that an increase of
included acreage diminishes the bur-
den on the valley in proportion to
the amount included. Officials point
out that they are working, not so
much for the immediate present or
even near future, but for the far
future Of the valley and its water
needs.
The district is throwing all its re-
sources into this work with de-
termination that shows the impor-
tance of the enterprise, and Chief
Engineer Dowd, is leaving fof Wash.
ington tonight, to confer with Off
cials of the government relative to
obtaining the information necessary
to plot out the contemplated canal.
Another indication that the dis
trict is not allowing any opportunity
to escape, is in the recent employ
ment of F. w. Greer at salary of
$3.50 per month and expenses, as
lobbyist for the local board in Wash
ington. Greer will remain in the cap
itol until the end of the present con-
gressional session to work on be
half of the appropriation for the
BOULDER Dam project, to be included
in the second deficiency appropria-
ton bill. President Pound and Di-
rectors Rose and Blair voted for the
employment Of Greer, with Directors
Aten and Brockman opposing it.

23 minutes and 81 seconds required
by the Lindberghs. Turner said he
had to battle stormy weather a
great part of the way.

Kansas, for gas. The flight was
made at an average altitude of
10000 feet.
turner was fatigtvd when he
stepped from the plane. The lion
cub showed no ill effects.

WOMAN ASSERTS
men TRIED TO
EXTORT MONEY

GLENDALE, Calf, May IA. W.H
-Four young men, two of them col
lege students, were held here today
as police investigated an asserted
attempt to extort $4,000 from Mrs.
F. w. Emery, wealthy San Marino
society woman.
Bernard Swalley, 81 year old Pas
adena Junior college student, was
charged with attempted extortion
after his arrest late yesterday as he
dug up $4,000 in marked money
which had been cached. according
to directions in thrcdksning letters
to Mrs. Emery.
His roommate, Leo Trimbley, 21,
also Of the Junior college, and two
other suspected accomplices were
held for investigation. The quar-
tet came to California four months
ago from Birmingham, Ala.
"If you do not have the cash then
we will kill you and burn your
home" declared the first letter
mailed to Mrs. Emery last April 29
and signed "The Gang Leader.
c. Allen"
Further instructions to signal her
acceptance of the situation were
contained in the lettcr,which was
followed by second missive after
Mrs. Emery's automobile was
parked in front of the Pasadena
postoffice as demonstration that
she would comply with the demand
for $4,000.
Meanwhile, police had taken
charge of the case and an officer
dressed as an elderly woman was
substituted for Mrs. Emery.
The second letter directed that
the money should be placed near a
certain road intersection and asked
the return of both letters.
Last night after several days
vigil, police arrested Swalley as he
dug the money from small trian,
gular plot where it had been buried
in accordance with the letters di
rection.

AIR BASE
F FAVORED
Admiral Tells Committee
Navy Board Prefers 1t
Over Sunnyvale
REASONS ASSIGNED
Congressman Britten Is
Perplexed BY Testi-
m0ny Presented

WASHINGTON, May IA. WI-
Location of a new lighter than air
craft base in Southern California
so as to be close to the Pacific
fleet was favored by the navy gen.
eral board before its members be-
gan an investigation Of available
sites, Rear Admiral Jehu Chase told
the house naval affairs committee
today.
Chase said this preference in no
way restricted the boards inspec-
tion Of sites in other parts Of the
state, however.
cit was the intention of the board
to make complete survey of all
sites offered the government" he
said. "But in case two sites ulti-
mately were decided upon the one
in Southern California would be
given preference, all else being
equal"
Chairman Britten expressed sur
prise the board had not conducted
its investigation "with an entirely
open mind" Chase denied it had
been preiudiced.
Board members who submitted a
report to the navy department fav-
oring the site at Camp Kearny, near
San Diego, over that at Sunnyvale,
near San Francisco, were the first
to present their views today. Sec-
retary Adams was to have testified,
but his appearance before the
senate naval affairs committee
hearings necessitated postponement
Of his testimony.
Picks San Pedro
Chase's assertion that a Southern
California base would place lighter
than air craft in closer touch with
the fleet, led Britten to demand
Just where he planned to harbor in
time of war.
"San Pedro bay" the admiral
answered.
"Do you mean to say you would
harbor the fleet at San Pedro rath,
er than San Francisco9" Britten de.
manded.
81 do" Chase replied.
"Where would you establish yous
basep
"At Pearl harbor, Hawaii"
"Surely you don't want to go or
record as stating that" Britten
shouted.
"San Francisco has no naval base
to offer the fleet" Chase replied.
"Well," Britten retorted, "I dont
know what San Pedro can offer
aside from the nearby motion pie
ture industry"
Chase was still OH the stand when
the committee adjourned until to-
morrow.

DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST DISTRICT
FILED BY CITY OF CALIPATRIA

The city of Calipatria filed its
second amended complaint against
the Imperial Irrigation district in
the superior court yesterday. The
document is rather lengthy affair
Of Is pages with 33 paragraphs,
most of which deal with the his
tory of the district and of the city.
The gist of the complaint is as fol-
lows:
On September 81, 1923, the board
of trustees of the city, at regular
meeting, unanimously adopted a
resolution instructing the clerk OF
said board to communicate with
the defendant, through its division
superintendent for the Calipatria
district, drawing attention to the
large heads of water then being
discharged through the Alamo chan.
mel, informing said defendant dis
trict of the location of the city IS
septic tank and portion of its out
fall sewer on the east bank of said
channel and of the danger to said
sewer and tank by reason of the
flowing of extra large volumes of
water and certified copy Of this
resolution was delivered to the SUI
perintendcnt.
In September and October. 1928
the plaintiff caused the bank OF
said channel where it was being
eroded by these large heads OF
water, to be riprapped with rock
and bound with steel cable, but de
fendant continued to discharge
large and excessive quantities OF
water through the Alamo channe
and in November, 1928, large see
tion of its 14-inch clay tile sewer
fell into the river channel and cut
off the flow of sewage to said sep
tic tank, stopping the operation
thereof and causing the entire sew
age of said city to be discharged
into the channel in It's raw state.
Notwithstanding plaintiffs OBJ
lection and its notice to the defend
ant to cease operating the Alamo
river channel portion of its water
system in such manner as to dam
age the plaintiff s sewage works
the defendant continued, through
the spring of 1924 and almost con

Harrison, of Columbus, Ohio, mana.
ger of the Redpath Lyceum and
Chautauqua Bureau, leaped to his
death today from the 14th story OF

Shortly before he jumped from the
window of his room, which he oc:
cupied as nonresident member OF
the club, he telephoned the club
switchboard operator to summon
physician for him.
He left no note of explanation for
his act but his call for doctor
led police to believe illness prompted
his suicide. Harrison was past 80
