Clear skies and dropping temper

than a score of men Snowbound
throughout the Sierra.
While agricuituriStS looked with
pleasure on the potential water sup

trapped by the heavy blanket.
A search was started from Au-

The men have been unreported
since they left Robertson's Flat
Saturday for Forest Hill.
Eleven state highway workers

their imprisonment.

HEAD OF IRISH
FREE STATE TO
FIGHT RADICALS
COsgrave Explains Pur-
pose OF Public Safety
Measure.
BY w. G. QUISENBERRY
United Press Staff Correspondent


Copyright, 1891, by the United Press
DUBLIN, Nov. Is. 0U.P)-The Free
State government is determined to
prevent threatened establishment of
an Irish dictatorship by violence,
intimidation and murder, President
William T. Cosgrave told the United
Press today. His statement was in
explanation of the purpose of the
new public safety bill.
In an interview in his massive,
oak panelled office at Leinster
House, the Irish president said the
drastic new law instituting a quasi
military regime to suppress political
terrorism was necessary because of
threatened disorders during the
present economic depression.
1.-THE public safety act restored
confidence of the people in their
institutions and permitted us TO
resume efforts toward economic
progress" he said. 1--WE now are
able to proceed from where we left
off the work of reconstruction.
1T is difficult to say how long
these measures will remain in force,
except that it will be as long as
they serve their purpose. You see,
the bill fills a gap which has al
ways existed in our constitution.
The constitution previously was
geared for the extremes of either
war or peace. There was no middle
way provided.
I'm October the government in
stitutionS were endangered by the
actions Of relatively small number
Of persons who we're electing them
selves as dictators of the policy Of
thesnation. They attempted to en-
force their dictatorship by violence,
intimidation and murder
''That experience was not novel
This time, however, we were facing
unparalleled financial stringency
and depression.
Conditions Secure
THE effect of the public safety
bill is that of a policeman in 6
crowd. The crowd may not need
the swinging of his stick to preserve
order. but his mere presence has a
quieting effect.
Our courts are now able to
handle cases previously impossible
The citizens will feel more secure
There will not be any hardships i'm
posed on lawabiding persons. re-
gardless Of their political affilia-
tons"
Cosgrave. the hard working little
man who used to be a Dublin's gro
GERS assistant walked rapidly back
and forth in his office as he talked.
He spoke crisply and with conf
dence.
ireland is not an industrial ma,
tion,' he said. 1--WE hope she may
be one of the first to recover in
the depression. We produce fine
foodstuffs, livestock, products of the
soil and race horses"
The correspondent earlier had
been given the other side of the
political picture by the commander
in chief of the "Irish Republican
Army" which claims to have 10000
men trained and ready for war
against Britain.
Britain forced the Free State to
accept British political and econ
omic control just when Ireland was
within sight of her goal-complete
independence" the commander said,
after declining to reveal his name
to the public.
president Cosgrave now can re-
sort only to coercion. but it will not
kill a sentiment which is 1900 years
old. Ireland never will relinouish
her hope of freedom. Coercion has
not frightened us"

Farmers Conservation
Required For Future.
OUTLINES PROGRAM
Extensive Projects Need
ed To Insure Develop
ment OF California.

MERGED, Cal, Nov. 10. up
Water, more precious to the Cali
fornia farmer than any other COM
modify, must be conserved and ade-
quately distributed through an i'm
mense system Of reservoirs and
aqueducts, provided under the pro-
posed state water plan. Edward
Hyatt, state engineer, told delegates
to the thirteenth annual Califor-
mia Farm Bureau federation here
today.
To insure construction of the
many units Of the plan, state con-
stitutional amendment to provide
revised law of eminent domain,
and administered by a state COM
mission, should be passed, Hyatt
said.
Works Of great magnitude must
be constructed, he declared. point
ing out that the major problem in
volved was one Of distribution.
While three -fourths of the states
water supply lies in the northerly
one-third of California. three
fourths of the ultimate water de-
mand lies in the southerly two
thirds Of the state, ne said.
Three large sections require i'm
mediate action, he asserted. In the
San Joaquin and Sacramento river
deltas and the upper San Francisco
bay region water supplies beth Of
industry and agriculture are men,
aced by an invasion of salt water"
he said. This is a grave situation,
since the capital investment OF
these industries is S43 100000. with
annual production Of S112,O00,000,
while the delta region is the richest
agricultural land in the state. with
tax value CT S45,000,000 and an
nual production Of $3O,000.Oo0.
Adequate reservoirs for the
| storage of winter water would cor
rect this situation, and ample water
is available for the purpose" he
said.
Outlines Needs
One-half of the 100000 acres in
the upper San Joaquin region will
revert to desert lands unless relief
is afforded, he predicted. Only half
the required water supply is now
available to the territory, Hyatt
maintained.
Total costs of projects already
outlined to meet the San Joaquin,
Sacramento and upper San Fran
cisco bay region needs would be
$3.50, 100000, he estimated. This
would include construction of the
Kennett and Friant reservoirs, a
conveyance canal extending north
and south from the Friant reservoir,
and another canal running from
the San Joaquin delta to serve
Contra Costa county industries.
Hyatt also advocated completion
Of the Colorado river aqueduct and
the Santa Ana river flood control
project to relieve pressing needs for
additional water in Southern Cali
fornia. The Colorado river aque-
duct alone would approximately
double the present water supply, he
declared.

Of
Carol Denied

LONDON, Nov. 10. (U.P)-Reports
that King Carol of Rormania had
resigned in favor of his 10-year-old
son, Crown Prince Michael, were
ridiculed today in official circles in
Bucharest.
The reports were current in Ber-
lin last night. The United Press
correspondent at Bucharest was in
formed officially that the rumors
were unfounded.
The resignation was also rumor-
ed in Vienna, where it was believed
it had become, confused with a re-
port from Budapest that Foreign
Minister Count Julius Karolyi in
tended to resign.
Crown Prince Michael was 10
years old last month. His mother,
Princess Helen of Greece who has
refused to agree to an annulment of
her divorce from Carol, returned
from a visit to France and England
to spend the birthday with her son.

FROM NONNI RIVER FRONT,
Nov. 10. (U.p) Via Hardin, 7 p. NJ
The japanese army, battering a de-
moralized Chinese force with ar
tillery, machine guns and aerial
bombs, broke through the Chinese
lines toward Tsitsihar today leav-
ing a vast number Of dead and
wounded in their wake.
The Chinese were utterly routed
In an all day battle that began at
a. m. in bitterly cold weather of
four below zero. Isy blasts swept
the bleak plains as the japanese
started their general offensive
along a five mi:e front on either
side Of the railway along the Nonni
river.
The Chinese tried vainly to hold
their irregular lines of well con-
structed trenches. but were driv-
en- back by a whitening fire from
the land and air.
When the offensive started, nu-
merous Chinese were scattered In
the No Mans Land stretching for
10 miles between the japanese and
Chinese trenches, and casualties
were particularly heavy.
The Chinese were operating nine
guns off their left flang in ad-
vance of the main lines.
Smash Through Line
The balance of Gen. Ma Chan
Shan's artillery, consisting of "a
pieces, was held in reserve near
Tsitsihar to cover the Chinese re-
treat. ~
Ma had one anti-aircraft gun
mounted on an armored car.
After the battle had been in
progress five hours. the japanese
smashed through Ma Chan-Shan's
center at the village of Sanchien-
fang. westward of the Anganchi
railway line breaking the Chinese
in two sections and cutting off all
communications with the eastern
half of the army.
After the rout began, the Chinese
ceased fighting and scattered to
the rear. The japanese planes,
which had been occupied with Ma
first line defense near Sanchien-
fang, flew on to Tsitsihar, where
they were reported to have dropped
five bombs.
The planes scattered leaflets over
Tsitsihar, announcing they were
the city, but assuring the
residents there would be no harm
to persons or property If the Jap
anese troops were not molested. The
leaflets added that the Japanese
troops would not damage the Chi
nese Eastern railway in crossing It,.
