FRENCH REVEAL
CONDITIONS FOR
GERMANY LOAN
BY SAMUEL DASEIELL
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

PARIS, July II. 0U.E)-The French
reply to Dr. Hans Luthers loan pro-
posals was understood today to base
possible relief upon four condi-
tions.
First. immediate abandonment Of
the Austro-German customs prof
ect..
Second, extension of Germany S
assurance that the military budget
will not be increased during the II
years wherein Germany repays
France the 1881 unconditional an
nuity due under the Young plan.
Third. that Germany open nego-
tiations for new commercial
treaty with France
Fourth, severe restriction of Gre
dts the Reichbank may grant.
France was understood to have
also insisted that British and Am
erican creditors waive repayment of
short term loans until the Reich
bank is able to make such repay
ment without strain. The period
would possibly be six months, it was
estimated.
DR.. Luther left by airplane for
Berlin this morning, bearing a Sc
cret report concerning his CONVEX
sations in Paris and London.

The following letter, according to
its sponsors, President C. w. Brock
man and Director w F. Beal of the
Imperial Irrigation District, has
been sent out to approximately
1000 land owners in Imperial VAL
ley.
Accompanying the letter is a
QUESTIONABLE, which those receiving
the letter are asked to fill in, ex-
pressing their views on the ALL
American canal contract.
The Press reprints the letter here
with, without comment, as an item
of news.
AS members of the board of di-
rectors of the Imperial Irrigation
district, elected to protect the rights
of the water users within this dis
trict, we feel that it is our duty at
this time to present certain facts in
connection with the proposed all
American canal contract, and to
contradict erroneous propaganda
which is being used TO mislead the
voters of this district.
Such criticism as is contained In
this letter is directed at the con-
tract which the reclamation bureau
has offered-and not at the canal
project itself We believe that the
construction of the canal under a
favorable agreement with the feder-
al government will bring some ma
terial benefits to Imperial Valley

CALIFORNIAN Is
TAKEN IN EAST
ASBLACKMAILER

NEW YORK, July 11-U.P)-
William Mannheim, 20, University of
California student, was under arrest
here today charged with attempted
blackmail of a wealthy New YORK
contractor.
The student, who gave his ad-
dress as Fresno, Calf. was arrested
when he allegedly took an envelope
placed in a library magazine, a
prearranged hiding place for $1,000
demanded in letters received by Mrs.
George E. Gibson, wife of a Larch-
mont plumbing contractor.
Mannheim denied writing the
blackmail letters and said he found
the envelope accidentally while
browsing through the magazine.
About a week ago Mrs. Gibson
received a letter threatening to eX-
pose to the newspapers an alleged
relationship between her l8 year
old son, William, Dartmouth stud
ent and a young woman, unless she
placed $1,000 in small bills in a copy
OF Field and Stream in the librarD
of the Sloane house branch OF the
Y. M. c. A.
She paid no attention but when
a second letter came containing
similar threats Gibson notified po-
lice. Working with detectives, the
contractor placed newspaper clip
pings in the magazine. He address
ed the envelope to Wallace" the
name signed to the blackmail let
terS.
Detectives said they saw Mannheim
take the envelope.
In Manheim's Y. M. c. A. room
detectives said they found a pencil
of the same type of lead used in
writing the letters and also
discovered Gibsons name and
address in Maneheim's diary. The
student explained the latter coinci-
dence by saying friend had told
him to look up the contractor while
in New York.
Mannheim said he came to New
York July 2, intending to spend the
summer here. He is a sophomore.

BROCKMAN AND BEAL ATTACK
ALL-AMERICAN CANAL PACT

and such a contract would have our
full support.
We regard the contract as now
drafted, however, as vicious docu-
ment which not only will jeopardize
our water rights, but will place an
unbearable load of taxation on our
lands, and we wish to register a Wig
orous protest against is approval
until such time as radical changes
are made in its provisions.
Our criticism of the contract, as
written, is based on the following
objections:
First, that under Article II of
the contract Imperial Valleys es-
tablished water rights, acquired
through a long period of beneficial
use, will be nullified. Article II
reads:
The United States shall, from
storage available in the reservoir
created by Hoover dam, deliver to
the district each year at point in
the Colorado river Immediately
above Imperial dam, SO much OF
the water available to the State OF
California under, the Colorado river
compact (as limited by the Boulder
Canyon project act) as has been
recommended by the division of wa
ter resources of the state of Cali
fornia, as follows: (Amount to be
filled in later). AS far as reason
able diligence will permit said wa
ter shall be delivered as ordered by
the district and as reasonably re-
quired for potable and irrigation
purposes within the boundaries of
the district in the Imperial and Goa
chella valleys"
Under this provision Imperial
Valleys water supply is to be deter
mined by the state and federal au-
thorities rather than by its prior
established rights, and under no
circumstances will the valley be
permitted to sell any of this wa
ter to coastal cities for domestic
use, or to Mexico, or other outside
lands which might become profit
able customers.
Second, under this contract I'M
perial Valley will be required to
share such water as is allotted to
it with the owners of 100000 acres
of Mesa and Coachella valley lands.
Under its terms they will acquire an
equal right with present users in
the valley-and in the event of a
shortage would have the same claim
as present irrigated lands to any
water which might be available.
Third, Imperial Valley is required
to assume the entire responsibility
for repayment of the $38,500 900 loan
to the federal government. If Mesa
or Coachella valley land owners de-
fault in their payments, Imperial
Valley owners are required to make
up the deficit.
Fourth, no provision is made eth
er in the Swing-Johnson bill or in
this contract for the financing of
lateral systems on the Mesa and in
Coachella valley, or for installation
OF power plants along the canal.
Before any income can be derived
from these outside sources Impe-

ROLPH'S FORMER
ASSOCIATE sues
FOR HEART BALM

LOS ANGELES, July II. UP
Charging that Mrs. Wanda Mae
Bennett, divorce, failed to marry
him after promising to do SO, Ed
ward j. Elbury, said to be a former
business associate of Governor
James Rolph, Jr.. named Mrs. Ben
nett in a 100000 heart balm suit.
Elbury alleged the romance start
ed on March 20, 1880, when they
became acquainted. Eight days
later their engagement was an
nounced, he claimed in the COM
plant. A few days after Elbury
proposed and was accepted, Mrs.
Bennett was declared to have an
nounced the engagement and to
have written letters to her friends
and relatives telling them about it.
Beginning about May IT, 1890, and
until April 18, 1881, Mrs. Bennett,
it was alleged, introduced the plain
tiff to many persons as her hus-
band, and informed her relatives
by mail she was married to him.
On April 6, Mrs. Bennett again
promised to become Mrs Elbury
the complaint recited, and on April
7, last, they went to Riverside and
obtained a license. On April Is, II
and 49, Mrs. Bennett positively re-
fused to marry him and broke off
all associations with him, the COM
plaint charged.

FATE OF YOUTH
FOUND in SHAFT
PARTLY SOLVED
Investigators Believe Fall
Into Opening Was Ac-
cidental.

MUNCIE, Ind, July II. tU.p)-In-
vestigators believed today that Per-
lie Guelsby Hogg. 16-year-old
orphan, suffered the agony of a
| lingering death at the bottom of az
air shaft in Central High school,
where his skeleton was unearthed
by Workmen.
Opinions differed as to whether
he had fallen down the shaft acci-
dentally or had committed suicide.
But the fact that one shoe had been
taken off and a pocket knife
opened they said, indicated he
probably had attempted TO work
himself up the walls before he sue
cumbed, crouching in a sitting posi-
ton.
Identity of the bones was estab-
lished yesterday by Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Cooper, uncle and aunt Of
the youth, who recognized pair of
shoes, bits of corduroy cloth and
the knife as belonging to the boy
They said he disappeared Decem-
Der l6, 1872, after making threats to
run away because of an argument
with teacher. Neighbors said the
boy was unhappy at home.
School authorities said it was not
remarkable that the boy had not
been found because the shaft had
been unused for 10 years. They
believed the youth might have
stepped to the top of the shaft 10
smoke a cigaret and tumbled to the
bottom. 1t would have been impos-
sible to hear his cries for help, they
pointed out

tons in Ell Centre, according to
Phil Knights, city engineer.
The signs are of heavy rubber.
and will be set in the pavement
in the middle of the intersections,
where they are much more visible
than the present metal signs set on
the corners.
The U Turn signs will be installed
on Main street at the intersections

Decide Prison Is
Place For Woman

LOS ANGELES. July il. UP
Police, superior judge and Jail
matrons admitted today that Mrs.
Mildred Wright, 26, completely baf-
fled them so Mrs. Wright is await
ing transfer to San Quentin to
serve term of from one to 20 years.
Here is Mrs. Wright's record, ac-
cording to police records.
Originally convicted of defrauding
another woman of $4,000 by passing
worthless paper, Mrs. Wright re-
ceived probation and a year in jail.
While in Jail she assertedly received
a SIS check from her father, raised
the check to SIS and persuaded
Jail Matron Maybelle Brieglieb to
cash it. Later she assertedly stole
SIS from the Jail store to repay
irate Matron Brieglieb.
The situation was complicated
when Mrs. Wright informed Judge
B. Rey Schauer she was to become
a mother.

Singers Marriage
Is Under Cloud

WEST ORANGE, II. j., July IL.
ADMINISTRATION of the marriage
of Rudy Vallee and Fay Webb has
been ordered by Mayor Simeon Hol-
linson as a result of reports the
couple failed to comply with certain
technicalities. Invalidation of the
license appeared possible.
New Jersey law requires that
license must be obtained three days
before the ceremony and both par
ties must be present. Health Off
Ger David E. Buckley, who issued
the license Friday, July 8, said the
radio crooner and Miss Webb both
appeared in his office. Reports
reaching Mayor Robinson said the
actress did not reach New York un-
til Sunday.
Another requirement of the law
is that there must be a witness who
knows at least one of the parties to
identify him or her. Mrs. Mary
O'Halleron, Buckley's secretary, was
the identifying witness but she re-
fused to say whether she had known
Rudy and his bride previously.

BREAK IN CANAL
TO BE REPAIRED
BEFORE TONIGHT

Imperial Valley farming land
was threatened with parching un-
der the burning sun today while a
crew of workmen from the Impe-
rial Irrigation District worked fe-
verishly to repair break in the dis
trict's main canal five miles south
of the Cudahy check in Mexico.
Water was completely shut off
from Imperial Valley when 40
foot strip of the canal bank gave
way at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, flooding the surrounding
country.
District officials announced today
water will be back in the canal to-
night, and the break will be COM
pletely repaired by Monday morn
ing. Since yesterday afternoon no
water from the canal has reached
the valley.
Seepage and the activity of 60
pliers in undermining the canal
bank is thought to be the reason
for the break, which was in the
south bank.
Loss of water to this section
caused renewal of warning by
authorities to residents of the val
ley to conserve in every way pos
sible. The summer supply may run
low. according to officials, and con-
servation of water by users will aid
materially in assuring a steady sup
ply.
After the break was discovered
yesterday afternoon water in the
canal above the spot where it gave
way was shut off so that workmen
could repair the break.

Dispute Over Greenland
With Denmark Referred
To The Hague.
FEELING IS TENSE
Little Likelihood That Ma

By OLE CALVING

OU1lIu IECSS E9idIl Correspondent
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July
II. U.P)-Denmark referred the dis
quite with Norway over eastern
Greenland to the international
court at the Hague today, at the
same time granting police authori-
ty to the Koch expedition of 60 men
which has just landed on the dis
puted area.
1t was hoped the action might
avert the threatening serious situa-
ton which developed when it be-
came known that King Haakon of
Norway had signed formal declara-
ton at Oslo last night of Norwegian
occupation of the section of east
ern Greenland between 71.30 to $40
degrees north latitude.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July
II. U.P)-A serious situation threat
ening a possible break in relations
between Denmark and Norway was
feared today over a dispute on own
ership of a section of Greenland.
King Haalzon of Norway last
night at Oslo signed a formal dec
laration Of Norway's occupation of
East Greenland between 71.30 and
rs 40 degrees north latitude.
Denmark. suspended negotiations
over the dispute-which had be-
come critical in recent weeks-and
is referring the question to The
Hague for settlement.
A special meeting of the cabinet
was called for today to consider
further action.
Intense feeling was aroused in
both countries and King Haakon' s
reported formal declaration was un-
derstood to have enhanced already
bitter feelings in Denmark.
The area claimed by Norway in
the east coast of Greenland extends
about 800 miles along the area
known as Scoresby land. 1t is about
the center of the island that Is
Greenland, from about Liverpool
coast on the south to point about
opposite Shannon Island on the
north.

Valley Robberies
May Be Explained

LOS ANGELES, July IL. U.H -
Two bandit suspects whose capture
in Phoenix, Ariz., may lead to an
explanation of more than a score
of safe robberies in three Southern
California counties, were to be re-
turned to Los Angeles today to face
prosecution.
The men, Allen Hicks, %, and his
brother Paul, aged 10, were arrested
by Phoenix officers after deputy
sheriffs from Los Angeles traced
them to the Arizona city through
license plates.
Deputies said they believed the
apprehension of the youthful pair
might prove solution to robberies
in Los Angeles, Imperial and San
