duced figure and a saw
ing of about $3.50 per
acre per year in interest
charges, is the net result
of an agreement arrived
at last week between Of
ficials of the state and
district and the federal
reclamation bureau.
Last week M. M. Moulton, at
torney for the district, went to
Olympia to attempt to arrive at
an agreement with the state where
by the dam property belonging to
the district could be transferred
to the government. The state now
holds a bond issue of $216,000.00
against the district. 1t has agreed
to accept new issue at par, rum
ming at one per cent interest an
nually, and permit the district to
transfer the water right to the
government. The district now pays
six per cent interest on its bonds.
The new rate Of interest will per-
NIT a saving to the land owners
in the district of over ST., 900 per
year, or some $3.50 per acre for
the four thousand acres in the en-
larged area.
That the sale Of power from the
new plant will eventually pay not
only its construction cost but the
entire bond issue against the dis
,trict as well is indicated from the
wording of the bill which has pass
ed congress, one section of which
reads as follows: Provided further,
That all net revenues received
from the disposition of power not
required for pumping water for
the irrigation Of lands in the Ken
newick irrigation district shall be
applied, first, to the payment Of
the construction cost incurred by
the United States in connection
with the Kennewick Highlands unit
including the power plant and ap-
purtenances, until said construc-
ton cost is fully paid, and there
after TO retire the obligations in
Cured by the said district in the
purchase of the said dam and right
of way.
A telegram from DR.. Summers
the Interpretation If
this section indicates that the sale
of the power will eventually pay
for the entire construction cost
and the obligations to the state,
and that the department would do
everything possible to permit the
start of the work just as soon as
the legal steps can be taken.
AS soon as the contract between
the district and the government
has been approved by the secre.
tary of the interior the matter will
be submitted to the voters of the
district for their ratification, TO be
followed by the sanction Of the
court, following which the money
will become available and the work
as soon as the present
irrigation season is completed.
Members of the district board
are greatly elated over the very
satisfactory agreement arrived at
and are confident that the big
saving in both the construction and
operating costs will be reflected in
The heightened morale and stabil-
ty of the district.

SUES ESTRANGED
 WIFE FOR LANDS
K0Zen Claims Transfer Was
 Based on Love, Now Gone

After Albert kozen of Plainville
 had been released from the Hartford county jail, some time ago. where he spent q period after being sentenced from Plainville for an infraction of the law, he found that his wife. Nel- lie Kozen. had sustained Q change of heart as regards her marital bonds, and refused to live with her hus-
 land.
 On August 8, 1927. kozen bought : l houselots in what was then known as Daylight Manor" in Plainville, paying $500 cash for them. To show his love and esteem for his wife. he had, on the same date, con veyed to his wife one-half undivided
 interest in the property, and accord | ing to a complaint drawn up by At torney M, F. Stempien, representing | Kozen, the transfer was done with 1 out objection by Nellie. and not for | the purpose of defrauding my credi- : tors nor avoiding the payments of 1 any debts. It was transfer for love and esteem. pure and simple. Since that date. kozen has paid l the taxes. water rates, insurance and | improvement liens, so that the prop i trtv has remained clear in title. When kozen was released from Jail, his wife refused 10 live with him and also refused to reconvey the
 title in the property back to her hus- band, SO today an attachment was levied against the property by kozen.
 Deputy Sheriff NJ. Papciak serving
 the writ, with s5,0o0 damages claimed, in an effort by Kozen to
 recover the other half of the
 property.

 Coast Guards Killing

Boston, Aug. 2S (UP)-A new investigation into the death of Coast Guard Boatswain's Mate Louis A. Pratt, killed by Coast Guard machine gun fire off Ip- swich earlier this month, was under way today.
 Pratt was a victim of mistaken identity. being shot to death by fellow Coast Guards who believed him to be rum smuggler, ac- cording to reports immediately after the shooting
 A board of inquiry investigated the case and submitted its report to Washington. The new inves- tigation, being conducted by three officers not attached to the New England division. was started at the direction of Rear Admiral F. C. Billiard, commandant of the Coast Guard. He explained that the report of the original board did not contain sufficient details to enable his department to reach a decision.
 According to Billiard, the sec ond inquiry probably will be con- cluded within three or four days, and shortly thereafter a final re- port on the case will be made.

 Stevenson of Cincinnati. Only imme- diate friends were at the wedding of the author, who had been known throughout the country as the most confirmed of confirmed bachelors.
 Was Happy Bachelor
 Mencken pictured himself as hap py in his bachelorhood. which ex- tended 50 years. I here visaged an even more happy future as a mar ried man. He saw no reason, how ever, to alter his book, Tn Defense Of Women" which had gained him the reputation of a woman hater. He confessed that his venture into matrimony was based upon his pen chant for Following lunches" The particular hunch which caused him to abandon single blessedness, he called superb one.'
 The questions propounded by the United Press and the replies Menck- en gave in writing only a little while before the sudden announce ment of his advanced wedding fol- low
 Q. Will your wife drop her pres ent name, assuming yours? Will this extend to her future writings? A. The bride-eleC halls from the Confederate States and will thus use my name. Try to imagine q south ern woman busting out as a Lucy Stoner. Her first book, written while she was Sara Haardt, will bear that name. What name She will sign to future books. I don't know But in all such matters trust her good taste completely.
 c. Is it to be a church or civil wedding in Birmingham, Ala?
 A. The wedding will not be in Birmingham but in Baltimore. If the bride-eleGt hears that you are marrying her in Birmingham she will be appalled,. Birmingham to a native of Montgomery is what Los Angeles is to a Baltimorean.

c. Do you feel that married life may alter your critical viewpoint in general, or particularly, as to mar riage?
 A. I see no reason why being married should alter my point of view. My point of view, iB fact. never alters. I detest converts above all things. When a man tells me that anything I have written has converted him I put down as an ass. I can't ever recall changing my mind about anything of the slightest importance.
 Q. Can you state any code, or part of a code, or conduct to govern married life so as to avoid tn, clashes which lead rather frequent ly nowadays to separations and divorces?
 A. It seems to me that the best rule for marriage is the best rule for all human relations: be polteS I am marrying one of the politest of women, and she is getting a hus- band whose politeness has the high polish of a mirror. Neither of us ever quarrels with other persons. So why should we quarrel with each other? I have never found it diff ficult to be on good terms. personal ly. with my enemies. l always try to- choose decent ones. When l en- counter a mucker, l simply avoid him.
 Q. Have you been happy unmar- ried? Do you expect any change as married man?
 A. I am naturally happy man. The world amuses me very much. The very thought of Hoover say, gives me the same keen delight thsf other men get out of golf, stock speculation or metaphysics. I was thus Every happy as a bachelor and hope to be even more happy as a married man.
 Mencken volunteered these addi- tional thoughts;-
 "The bride-elect and I differ somewhat on politics. As an ire concilable Confederate she believes in chattel slavery. Many of her relatives in Alabama. in fact, still hold slaves.
 The Confederacy has never car ried out the terms of the treaty of Appomattox in good faith. The Con- federate army has never really dis armed; it still holds maneuvers every autumn in the remoter reaches of Mississippi. More than 100000 Negroes are still held in slavery in Alabama. As liberal l naturally deplore this, but I certain ly am not a reformer, and hence plan to do nothing about it.

Q. Have you or Miss Haardt de- cided whether the and obey is to be stricken from the usual ritual?
 A. There is no promise to obey it the Anglican marriage, Your question reveals a profound ignor- ance of canon law.
 Not Clustered
 Q. Have you any of the tradi- tional fluster of 8 bridegroom-to- be?
 A. I discern no tremors. Getting married, like getting hanged, is probably a great deal less dreadful than it has been made out.
 Q. After years of bachelorhood how did you know you were enough in love to contemplate and invite marriage?
 Was Superb Hunch
 A. I can only say it was intui- ton. The Holy Spirit informed and inspired me. Like all other infidels, am very superstitious and always follow lunches. This one seemed to be a superb one
 Q. Will you go on a so-called honeymoon What do you think of that institution?
 A. 1 have no objections to honeymoons. nor to church we'd dings, nor to wearing plug hat. In all matters of manners I am, and always have been, a strict conform ist. My dissents are from ideas, not from decorrums. and I do not favor wearing odd clothes, or living in an eccentric house, or making loud noises.
 e. Who is furnishing the new house? Is it an apartment or a separate house with a yard?
 A. The new home in Baltimore is an apartment. It is on the third floor of a somewhat oldish house, r. faces a park in front and a charming yard in the rear No street car passes the door. From the front windows one sees the monument to George Washington, the first (and lasD American SCilbItilldii. ilc c pal tlllSiit lldo bNtIi furnished by the bride-e elect, who has excellent taste in such matters.

More and better work is done in the of- flee while I am away. My own business is mainly dealing with au- thors: l can do it from Baltimore quite as we'll as from New York.

 A. My new home will be manag- ed and operated by my wife, as my old one has been managed and perated-and very competently- by my sister and before that by my mother. Few men in this world have had the care Of. three such magnificent women.
