HEIR TO RYAN
MILLIONS SAYS
HE IS CONTENT

SHERIDAN, Wyo., Aug. IL. (U.P)
The Fortune millions can't COM
pare to love in a four room min
ing camp cottage, Thomas Fortune
Ryan, II, has decided.
Forced to choose between his
fathers wealth and his pretty bride
of six weeks, young Ryan, 80, an
nounced he would forfeit the money.
Il would rather have my wife
than all my fathers Millions he
asserted.
The pair was married at Hardin,
Mont, June 27, after Mrs. Ryan
had been granted a divorce from
Thomas Masters, prominent north
ern Wyoming rancher. When news
of the marriage leaked out week
later Ryan's parents threatened TO
have the marriage annulled.
The couple now are living in the
four room cottage belonging to the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Cook, at Monarch, small mining
camp near here.
I'VE are very happy now, and I
see no reason why we shouldn't
continue that way" declared the
bride, an attractive 81 year old
brunette.
Ryan claimed to have no worries
over his action in renouncing fol-
tune, but evaded all queries as to
how he expected to make a living
for himself and his bride.
Nor would the brides parents
comment on the marriage save to
say the couple seemed very happy

DEMPSEYS FAIL
TO AGREE UPON
DIVORCE DETAILS

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. IL. U.P)-
The matter of how much he will
pay her for her home in the Holly
wood hills is the stumbling block
in the path of the Jack Dempsey
Estelle Taylor divorce proceedings,
the actress admitted here today.
Miss Taylor said that she had
asked the former heavyweight
champion to take the house off her
hands for 100000, the amount to
be regarded as full property settle
ment.
Miss Taylor said she regarded
her request as reasonable since the
house was in her name and since
its original cost was well above
100000.
The actress reported tt.at Demp-
sey countered her proposition first
by offering her $4,000 for the
property and then by reducing the
offer to $4,000.
In event Dempsey accedes to her
demand for 100000, the actress
said, they will continue with plans
to settle the divorce with as little
public controversy as possible.
Miss Taylor said she believed the
! most feasible idea would be for
Dempsey to file suit in Reno, Ne
vada. where he has established res
idence. She then would file a
counter-suit and be granted the di-
vorce on the cross complaint
I'D like to get the whole thing
settled" Miss Taylor said, before
l leave Hollywood for a vaudeville
tour through the east on August %.
The progress of the case been
pretty slow due to the pickering
between the attorneys over the
house and how much Dempsey will
pay for it. I hope it all will be
Strengthened out soon"
Miss Taylor said that she un-
derstood the $4,000 automobile
which was seized here two weeks
ago by Joe Dempsey, brother of
Jack, was now in Reno and being
driven by Jack Mis- Taylor said 1t
was Christmas gift to her from
Jack last year.

ROSE DECLARES
POWER ARTICLES
ARE PROPAGANDA

That the Southern Sierras Power
Company is trying to influence
public opinion against the Allan
erican canal project is charged by
Director Mark Rose, who made a
formal statement before the board
of directors of the Irrigation Dis
trict yesterday afternoon, as report
ed in yesterdays Press.
Rose declared that stories pub
dailies telling of a speech before
the FL Centro Chamber of Com
merce by J. r. Gabbert. publicity
manager for power company. were
nothing but publicity stories sent
out by the power company as pro-
paganda against the canal. The
statement by Rose was made a part
of the minutes of the directors
meeting.
1t said in part:
The publicity story as written
for the power company didn't out
line Gabbert's speech at all 1t
attempted instead to show the pub
lie how Boulder Dam power would
total so per cent more than South
ern California would consume.
The publicity story was a delib-
crate piece of propaganda aimed at
the All-American canal power de-
velopment.
= The stories as carried in the
~Brawley News and Calexico Chron-
icle on Thursday of last week not
only make misleading generaliza-
tions about the effect of Boulder
Dam power on California markets,
but they actually misstate the facts
regarding the quantity of that pow
er.
Questions Figures
The stories say there will be
around six and one half billions Of
kilowatt hours of power at Boul-
Imperial Valley press., 1931-08-12

der Dam. AS an actual fact the
engineers estimate there will be a
total OF 4,240,000,000 kilowatt hours
OF firm power per year. Of that
total Los Angeles is by her con-
tract to get 81 per cent; the Cali
fornia Edison Company is to get 81
per cent and the Metropolitan Dis
trict is to get So per cent, which 36
per cent is to be used exclusively
by the Metropolitan District for
pumping water through its aque-
duct system.
Instead of their being six and a
half billions kiloWatt hours of power
for distribution in Southern Cali
fornia there will be only 2,700,000,-
900 kilowatt hours OF firm power
available for both the private cor
porationS and the city of Los An
geles together.
The city of Los Angeles is to
start her use of Boulder Dam power
when there are l,500,000000 kilo-
watt hours available. Three years
later the Southern California Edi-
son company is to start consump-
ton of its share.
Nor do these stories make any
reference TO the fact that of the
Ga per cent of power from Boulder
Dam included in the Los Angeles
and California Edison company al
locations there is up TO 36 per
cent to be made available to Ari-
zona and Nevada on basis of 18
per cent to each state. In Nevada
now there are plans being made
for extensive use of this share of
Boulder Dam power.

ANOTHER CRASH
INJURIES FOUR ON
H0LTV!LLE ROAD

The Holtville highway, on which
two fatal accidents. claiming three
lives, were staged in the past week,
was the scene of another auto
wreck last night in which no lives
we're lost, but which caused injur-
les to three persons.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Dooler,
OF $50 Vine street, FL Centro. their
small child and Bert j. Friedlob,
we're all more or less hurt. Mrs.
Dooler sustained broken arm and,
with other members of the family.
had her injuries cared for at the
Ell Centro hospital. Friedlob is
still confined TO the hospital. 1t
was stated today that he has sew
other injuries not yet determined.
According to the report on file at
the traffic office, Friedlob was rid
ing on a light truck driven by G..
M. Duncan, who gave his address
as Los Angeles. The truck was pro-
ceeding west from Holtville at a
speed of 25 miles an hour.
The Dooler car, also travelling
west, crashed into the rear of the
truck at a point about five miles
this side of Holtville. Traffic Off
GERS reported that Duncan had the
necessary tail-light on his truck,
the road was perfectly clear and
wide and they could not account for
Dooler crashing into the truck.
The series of accidents led Cap
tain Oswalt to state today that he
will station one or more men per-
manently on the Holtville highway
to put an end to careless driving
which has been rampant on this
stretch of road in recent weeks.

Conviction OF
Hodges Upheld

Conviction of A l. Hodges of I'm

Director Denies
Contempt Charge

LOS ANGELES, Aug. IL. UP
Josef Won Sternberg was not in con-
tempt of court when he refused to
pay his divorced wife alimony, the
director contended in defense briefs
on file today in superior court.
Won Sternberg repeated what he
testified to last week in court
where it was disclosed that his for
mer wife had begun 100000 suit
for alienation and libel against
Marlene Dietrich-that he had held
up alimony payments because his
wife, in "harassing' him through
the Dietrich suits was violating a
condition of the alimony settle
ment.
His attorneys advised him not to
pay any more until the suits, begun
in New York. were disposed of, the
brief explained.

CHARGES OF LUCAS
Democratic Whip in House Says
Speech on Propaganda" Diff
fers From Hoover.

Representative John McDuffie Of Ala
bama, whose Job 1t was to make Demo-
Gratis vote In the last House, took issue
yesterday with a Republican statement
that Democratic propaganda" was
stimulating fear Of hunger during the
Winter.
The ALBANIAN referred to speech
by Robert H. Lucas, executive director
of the Republican National Committee,
at Springfield, Mass, yesterday.
Lucas, the Democratic whip said,
apparently does not agree with Presi-
dent Hoover that we are caught n a
cyclone of depression resulting from
the World War. for he explained that
we are suffering with a paralyzing
anaemia brought on by sitting deluge
of destructive Democratic propaganda"
McDuffie's statement, issued by the
Democratic National Committee, said
Lucas explained the Democratic propa-
ganda has so alarmed the people that
spending of money by those who have
It has been reduced to a point actually
below the necessities of life"
Here also, Representative McDuefie
said, Lucas seems to take issue with
the President, for this Mornings papers
all carry at great length President
Hoover's appeal to the country to abb
stain from seeking governmental ap-
preparations even though the projects
may be neritorious'."
