Confidential Secretary Claims

New York, April il P-Complc- ton of the states case against Olga Edwards on trial for cXtorting funds from Nathan L. Amster, G0-ycar- old financier, was in prospect today.
 Violent scenes which Miss Ed wards created in Amstcr's office when she appeared threatening to expose Amster as the father of her siX-year-old son unless her demands were met, were described yesterday by Charles R. Jeffers, confidential secretary to Amster.

 Another time, the witness said, she rushed into the office and shrieked.
 I'm through with these petty de- mands. I want s3o0,0OO in United States currency!"
 Jcffers said hc,asked her whether in view of tho small amount she wanted, would she have it now or after lunch?" to which he said she replied, 'I'll get it and I'll get him and I'll get him good. If l don't I'll shoot Eim.'

BRAz|LIANS HONOR
 DROUGHT ENGINEER
Man Who Saved Stricken City by River Diversion Recalled

Rio de Janefro, April II R- Forty-one years ago, when Dom Pedro ruled the Brazilian empire and Rio was scourged by yellow fever and lacked drinking water, an 1 8 year old engineer miraculously brought thousands of gallons of water into the parched city in six days.
 Recently scientific men in Brazil did honor to that engineer, Paulo de Frontin, whose name is a house. hold word, on the anniversary>of his feat.
 Ministers In Conference
 With yellow fever raging and water lacking, Dom Pedro called his ministers for plan. The wise men talked in millions for cost and eight months as the least time possible. The city would die of thirst before that.
 Then came the student engineer.
 "Giye mo so contos of reis, right of way for 10 trains daily on the Rio D'Ouro railway for men and supplies, the telegraphs in my hands food and men, and in six days there will be Q. daily supply of 10,o00,000 liters of water here," he said.
 The ministers called him crazy, but the situation was desperate. Dom Pedro wanted to hear the plan.
 Ask me nothing,' the youngster replied. Give me what I have asked and the water will be here in six days"
 Diverts River From Course
 Dom Pedro agreed, and within the hour De Frontin was on his way with other engineers. Within 24 hours blasting was heard in the Or gan mountains. Thirty thousand men were. pressed into work under 200 engineers, night and day shifts with food supplied on the spot, and a river was turned from it's course through a mountain barrier.
 On the morning of the sixth day water flowed through a Emile long canal, not the 1O,0O0,000 liters promised, but 20,000,000 litcrs, and Rio was saved.

RUBBER INCREASE
 BELIEVED UNLIKELY
Java Says Low Prices Will
 Limit Production Work

Batavia, Java, April II P)-Thc department of agriculture in a re- view of rubber production by natives in the Dutch East Indies, expresses the opinion that the present low prices give no reason to believe there will be any sharp increase in production in the near future.
 Should any material advance in rubber prices take place, however, a large part of the areas now un- tapped will probably be brought into production in which event an inn portant increase in production may be expected.
 These considerations, the depart ment considers, prove that the only possible course for European estate owners to follow is to reduce pro- dlction costs. Compared with 1OS,- 500 tons exported last year, the de- partment estimates the potential production for the present year at 150.000 tons.
 The area not yet tappable is leckoned as being two or three times larger than the present tap pablo area.

Cotton Men Hear Reports On New Process Discoveries

Boston, April Il (UP)-The artis- greater today than at any period of modern civilization, President Lin ColN Bayles of the National Associa tion of Cotton Manufacturers de- clarcd yesterday at the textile forum at the Boston City club.
 Oversecrs of bleaching and dyeing from textile plants throughout New England attended rhc session which was devoted to the consideration of problems encountered in the dycinG and finishing of cotton fabrics.
 With color dominating the modern home the American public has asked for coors which will be fast to light and washing" said Bay lies. Such colors can and are being given. As chemistry has gradually given us sew discoveries more satis- factory, fast colors have been found. With Q wide range of satisfactory fast colors available it seems un- necessary for any manufacturer to use dyes which will prove undesir- able for the purpose for which the fabric is sold.
 "The confidence of the manufac- turer in the dyers is apparent in the guarantees Of fastness to color and light under which huge quantities of cotton goods are sold each year, With the introduction of medium priced colored sheets and pillow cases, colored towels, etc. came new problems for the dyers and finishers. The success which has met their ef- forts is shown in the fact that while these goods are sold with guaran- tees of replacement of merchandise that proves unsatisfactory the num-

LINK FROG PAIRS
 AS S|AMESE TWINS
Scientists Make Experiment to
 Ascertain Relations

Iowa City, April II. R)-TWius are produced fat the University oi Iowa by surgical operation which gratis two young animals together as Siamese twins or other combina- tichs hitherto unknown.
 This grating is done only on ami nials of low order, principally taI- poles and ncWts. Its purpose is to show certain relations between the sexes, particular the dominance of male over female characteristics.
 Making these strange twins is TO ported to the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Sci ence by Prof Emil Witschi of the , pniversity's department of zoology. The operation is called parabiosis.
 "The animals may be united side by side so that they appear like siamese twins or one behind the other forming chains" Professor Witschi says.
 "Often in parabiosis only one ami nal will feet Nevertheless it's co-twin grows at the same rate, proving the latter receives an abun- cant food supply through the estab- lished blood connections. If the two animals of a pair are of the same species they grow and differ entiate at the same rate. If they arc of different species, the faster growing one will dominate and d. rect development of the other"
 Leopard frogs arc cited as ex- amples. They normally take four months for development, but they cut this time in half when 'twinned' with wood frogs, which have a faster growing period.

HEAT WAVE HITS
 MIDWEST CITIES
Temperatures Over 90 Reported
 in Many Sections Today

Chicago, April II LP) - Baking breezes, bred in Texas, blew like a furnace upon the middle west yes- terday and today.
 People who wear hannels were caught entirely unprepared. Earlier this week the temperatures had been around freezing, and as re- gently as 16 days ago Chicago had one of its worst snowstorms.
 Thermometer readings in the nineties were numerous. Cedar Rapids, Ia., had a 94; St. Louis, Mo. "a 93, and Peoria, H., a 92- all record temperatures for April 10., Chicago officially was two tenths of a degree better than 90 degrees late yesterday afternoon, and was headed back that way early today. Prospects of showers and clouds, however, augured more moderate temperatures for the day, here and throughout the middle west.
 Simultaneously with the heat wave OCCulcu llS lllSL uTOWHlllS Ol the season in the Chicago territory. Bruno Gizona, swimming in Lake Calumet, went down from the shock of the cold water and cramps.
 The Chicago beaches, especially the Oak street beach of Lake Michigan, along the Gold Coast, had it's quota of people in bathing suits, but nothing nearer bathing than a few timid touches of tender toes to icy water was attempted. Kansas City, Omaha, Little Rock and Des Moines were among cities having temperatures of 90 degrees CT higher.
