sees exactly what the situation is.
He is too independent to sub

is enough for him. Again he steps
aside and finds his occupation else

How can more of these college
men be brought actively into our
public life? This might happen at
any moment In either OF two ways.
1t might come about through the
rise to political eminence In one

Globe, Ariz, March 21-OUP)-
Final arguments in the trial OF
Golney Mac" Seymour, Apache
accused of the murder of Henriet-
ia Echmerler, Columbia university
student, were in order to-day In
| federal court. John p. Dougherty
| Seymour's counsel, was expected
to plead to thej ury that the In
dian youth killed the girl accident
ally after she attacked him with a
knife. John G.. Gungl, United
States attorney, was expected to
argue that Seymour assaulted the
girl against her will, then killed
her. The case probably will go to
the jury before night.
Gung'l has given every intima-
ton that he will ask for q first
degree verdict and the death pen
atty. Dougherty declined, as, the
trial day began, to say whether he
will plead for outright acquittal or
seek the lesser verdict Of man
slaughter.
During the six days Of his trial,
the youth sat In the prisoners
docket and heard his brother-in-
law, Robert Gatewood, accuse him
OF confessing the deed: and, u day
later, heard his wife, Gatewood's
sister, testify he was so drunk the
night Of the killing, he probably
had no clear idea what he was
doing.

regarded de Valeras ascent to
power as apt to have an unfortu-

BOARD ACCEPTS
LIST OF LANDS
FOR CORY PLAN

Acceptance of the final corrected
property list to be included in the
Cory de-salting project took place
at yesterdays meeting of Imperial
Irrigation district directors.
The three-to-two vote which has
become a by-Word in district af-
fairs resulted when roll was called.
w. F. Beal, who voted against ac-
ceptance. explained that he was
opposed only because the list con-
tanned several pieces of isolated
property and he favored having the
experiment tried in concentrated
areas. Chairman C. w. Brockmal.
said he was physically unable to
visit the lands and would abide by
BealS decision.
Discussion of the lands to be
included in the project has con-
tinued over a period of weeks with
directors visiting various properties
suggested for inclusion.
DR.. H. T. Cory, prominent engi-
neer, is acting for a company of
financierS who wish to try the
Egyptian plan for growing prod
ucts in paying commercial quanti-
ties and qualities on salty lands.
The lands to be included in the
experiment are lands which never
have been farmed or which have
not been farmed successfully.
