Bard District
Hit By Flood

YUMA, Ariz., Oct. IL. U.P)-Sev-
eral thousand acres of rich bot
tom land lay under water today
as reclamation officials began es-
timating the damage done by COL
lapse in several spots of the Pr
cacho reservoir dam.
Damage would not be as large
as was at first feared, it was said.
The main canal irrigating the
Bard section of the Yuma irriga-
ton project, which was swollen to
overflow proportions when the
dam burst, was carrying the sur
plus water away rapidly, and there
were indications that the over
flow from it's banks would not
spread unless last Saturdays rec
ord rain was duplicated.
Tentative estimates of damage to
alfalfa and cotton and lettuce
crops were placed at several thou
sand dollars.

ROLPH CABINET
Governor Denies Inten-
ton Of Removing Van
degrift From Office.

SACRAMENTO Calf, Oct. r.
W.P)-While Governor Rolph was in
Los Angeles today, looking for a
new state director of public works,
rumors of another possible shake
up in the executive cabinet flew
thick and fast in the capitol.
Before leaving by airplane for the
south, Rolph fatty denied that he
had any intention of removing
ROLAND A. Vandegrift, state direc-
tor of finance, but voiced high
praise of two men who had been
suggested for Vandegrift's position.
These were Ray L. Riley, state
controller, and Friend w. Richard
son, former governor and now state
building and loan commissioner.
Rolph admitted that Riley's
name had been suggested to him
as director of finance, but said no
offer had been made.
Mr.. Riley is fine man, high
ly trained financier, and a capable
executive" the governor said.
The governor denied published re-
ports that his advisors in San
Francisco had offered the finance
post to Former Governor Richard
son.
Controller Riley himself declined
to answer direct question as to
whether he had been approached.
I'll answer that question when
and if the appointment is offered"
he said.

ervisor and formerly national COM
mander of the American Legion,

servers said, the governor would be
Strengthening his political setup
in Southern California; would be
adding strong ex-service man to
his staff, and might remove a ser
ious opponent for the governor
ship in 1884.
A report that Carl Wishing, Los
Angeles public works director, was
being considered for the position
was without confirmation.
Despite his insistence that he
was not candidate for the ap-
pointment, Earl Lee Kelly, chair
man of the state highway commits

INSULT PASSPORT
TO BE TAKEN UP
BY i. S. ORDER
Action Believed Part Of
Trap To Insure Return
OF Magnate.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-(U.P-
The state department today in
structed the United States consul
late at Athens to take up the AM
erican passport carried by Samuel
insult, ST., Chicago utilities mag
nate.
This move, officials believed,
would make it impossible for In
sull to leave Greece unless he is
deported by the Greek govern
ment In that case, 1t was under
stood here, he would be deported
either to France or Italy, with
which countries the United States
has extradition treaties or to his
home country.
Officials at the state department
said that insult, under indictment
in Chicago in connection with the
collapse of his vast utilities en-
pire, appeared to be 'in a trap"
If he remains in Greece until
the United States and Greece can
exchange notifications of their ex-
tradition treaty, he can then be
brought back to this country by
diplomatic action. The Greek i'll
strument of ratification is now en-
route here.
Officials professed to have no
certain knowledge as to whether
Greece would deport insult.
ATHENS, Oct. 12.-(U.P)EThe
changing fortune that marked Sam
uel insults rise and fall as a mil
lionaire irdustrialist was on the
upgrade again today, and insult
was free to wage his battle against
extradition without interference
from the Greek government.
A dramatic change in the govern
ment's attitude toward the ~ year
old former utilities czar released
him from arrest as fugitive from
justice and relieved him of police
surveillance for the first time since
he reached Athens after a six-day
flight from Paris by sea, land and
air.
1t was limited here that outside
influence, or perhaps official pres
sure, was brought to bear in OBJ
tanning Insults release. Peter Van
ech, a prominent Greco American
OF Stafford, Conn.,, and personal
friend of the Greek strong man
Premier Venizelos, was said to have
been instrumental in the negoti-
ations. 1t was known that the pre-
mier, resting at spa outside Ath-
ems, telephoned the ministry of in
terror to learn the details. of In
sull's arrest and whether the gov
eminent was justified in OBTAINING
him.
Soon after the telephone call
il was announced that the states
attorney and the supreme court
found that since the extradition
treaty between the United States
and Greece never had been pro-
mulgated formally, the government
had no right either to detain In
sull or subject him to police sur
yillance.

IOWA'S RECORD CORN CROP MAY
BRING NO RETURN TO FARMERS

bushels may be allowed to rot In
the fields, or gathered into the
cribs to be shovelled into kitchen
stoves during the winter.
Old-timers who remembered
other winters back in the Dos re-
call that corn cobs make a lively
and warm fire suitable for cook
ing and heating, that the cobs are
the mellowest of all pipe smokes.
and in drastic circumstances the
silk can be dried and smoked in
lieu of tobacco. With some of
the 1881 crop still in the cribs, and
farmers with little or no cash in
their pockets to buy coal or wood,
the possibility of corn as fuel and
the winters smoking supply was
being considered on many farms.
In more than a score of Iowa
cities, women's guilds have been
organized to put on canning bees
with the men folks as guests.
These bees, the women say, will
provide merry evenings this au-
tumn and save the cost of enter
tainment elsewhere. The canned
vegetables will be distributed to
the unemployed and needy fami-
lies.

Calvin Coolidge urges that Her

because Franklin Roosevelt's 81

for the reelection of his own Sue

cheering throng at Madison
Square Garden and vast unseen
audience.
st am convinced" he concluded,
chat the public welfare requires
that he be reelected"
Coolidge, in his own calm, droll
manner, attacked Democratic poll
cies, and Democratic leadership; he
accused Franklin Roosevelt, with
out naming him, of prolonging the
depression by failing to speak
against the bonus.
The former president reused his
listeners to laughter by his terse
quotations from Grover Cleveland
against reciprocal tariffs; he re-
ferred to the forgotten man" of
the Roosevelt speeches as the "or-
binary run of people" He injected
by inference a criticism of Roose-
welt for his inheritance of wealth
and his costly education. He said
President Hoover never was car
