dream a realityl In the caves dim light she
saw form beside her; she felt hairy fingers

DOMESTIC WATER
PLAN OUTLINED
FOR COMMISSION

Inquiry into proposition en-
failing the expenditure of approXi-
mately S1,0O0,OO0 and designed to
provide pure water to residents of
six Imperial Valley towns, was
made by members of the Califor-
mia railroad commission this morn
ing in the supervisors board room
at the county courthouse.
The hearing was conducted upon
the application of Ernest F. Bent
for a certificate of public con-
venience and necessity for the
construction OF water supply
system from wells just north of
the international boundary line
near Midway Wells, concrete con-
duitS to be constructed to carry
water to MeXicali, CaleXico, Heber,
Ell Centro, Imperial and BraWley.
DR.. H. T. Cory, chief engineer
for Bent, appeared and explained
the matter fully. No one appeared
in opposition. Cory outlined plans
in full, stating that the system
will have a capacity OF 25,000,000
gallons daily. This amount, said
Cory, is nearly twice the consump-
ton OF valley cities during the
hottest days of last summer.
Decision in the matter is eX-
pected within the next month.
Transcripts of the hearing will be
made public this week in order
that anyone who wishes may con-
suit them.
Should the commission render
favorable decision, Cory said the
matter would be laid before valley
cities. The system, he said, would
eliminate sediment basins and
screens or filters now in use in
valley cities and would deliver
pure we'll water into clear water
basins. The only change being
elimination of certain parts Of the
systems now in use.
Water is to be obtained from
great depths, from wells between
500 to 1000 feet in depth.
The hearing was conducted by
Albert L. Johnson, examiner; M. K.
MacKall, chief hydraulic engineer;
William Stava, assistant hydraulic
engineer, and L. NJ. Tongue, re-
porter.

dent Of state banks in charge Of
liquidation of the Farmers and
Merchants bank of Imperial, and

GOVERNMENT TO
CONDUCT PROBE
in ISLAND CASE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. U.P)-
Attorney General William D.
Mitchell announced this afternoon
that he would send an assistant
attorney general to Hawaii imme-
diately to investigate conditions
there.
simultaneously ne announced
there is no law under which the
four Americans under arrest there
charged with the murder of Joe
Kahahawai, young Hawaiian, could
be brought to the mainland for
trial.
Meantime, President Hooyer's s
cabinet combined with other agen-
cies of the federal government in
rapid-fire series of developments
aimed at bringing speedy justice TO
all concerned in recent outbreaks
of lawlessness in Honolulu.
Secretary of Navy Adams brought
the matter to the attention of Mr..
Hoover and other cabinet members.
Before attending the cabinet
meeting Adams issued orders to the
navy commandant at Honolulu to
retain custody for the time being
of Lieut.. Thomas Massie rather
than surrender him to civil au-
thorities for trial on q charge of
numbering one of the alleged at
tackerS of the officers young wife.
The department of justice, acting
on senate resolution, meanwhile
was investigating the charge of
corruption in the courts and civic

charges in cablegram to the ter
ritorial delegate, Victor S. K. Hous-
ton, read before the house naval af-
fairs committee.

CANAL CONTRACT
IS DISCUSSED AT
IMPERIAL MEET

Those who argue that the ALL
American canal will deprive In
perial Irrigation district of water
revenues from Mexico fail to rec
ognize that under the present
Mexican concession. Mexico can
not only order the district to de-
liver up to half of the water in
the main canal free of cost to
Mexican lands, but can inflict q
charge on the district for bringing
its water back into the United
States.
M. j. DoWd, chief engineer for
the district, made that declaration
to more than 300 listeners at the
Imperial Memorial hall list night
in graphic talk arguing support
of the proposed contract N the
election of February II.
Preceding Dowd on the program
last night, Charles L. Childers, at
torney for the district, spoke
briefly upon provisions of the
canal contract
Mark Rose spoke on water
rights, outlining the fact that the
federal government is storing in
Hoover dam flood waters of the
Colorado from which all pros
pective users must of necessity
contract for any supply they may
require.

GERMANY URGES
REDUCTION OF
WORLD TARIFFS
Downward Revision Nee
esary According To Min
lister Of Finance.
BY FREDERICK KUN

United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright, 1882. by United Press
BERLIN. Jan. L. - Downward
revision of tariff barriers the world
over would create "a new situation
with respect to Germany's capacity
to pay her World war debts and
reparations" Minister OF Finance
Hermann Dietrich told the United
Press today in an exclusive inter-
view.
Germany believes the present
world distress-aggrava under
the pressure Of reparation-will
lead Germany's creditors to fl
nal solution. That is why every
effort must be made to keep the
Lausanne conference sitting until
an ultimate solution is attained"
Dietrich said.
THE report of the Young plan
advisory committee at Basle con-
firmed that conditions upon which
the authors of the Young plan
based their findings have not been
realized" the finance minister con-
tinued.
Germany feels handicapped by
tariff increases, contingent sys-
TENS placed on imports, and en-
bargoes introduced in many coun-
tries despite the fact both the
Dawes and Young plans agreed
Germany could only pay from the
receipts of her foreign trade he
said.
IF Germany cannot pay, this is
not due to her i'll will but because
paying is a financial and economic
impossibility. In addition, we
ought to consider that Germany
must repay her private debts She
is determined not to evade these
obligations although payment is
blocked at present.
IF tariff barriers fell through
out the world, Germany could ex-
pand her foreign trade by several
billion marks and thereby create a
new situation with respect to her
capacity to pay"
Reelection of President Won
Hindenburg would assure con-
tinuance of an absolutely legal re-
gime in Germany, Dietrich said.
IF it comes TO an election contest
among other candidates with Won
Hindenburg not running, the strug-
gle will be extremely fierce, for in
that case moderates will be fight
ing for radical forces. Should the
moderates win, the national So
cialist (Adolph Hitlers naZiS) will
be driven out, but if the moderaes
lose, the consequences cannot be
forseen"
Meanwhile the leaders of the
national opposition" Hitler and
DR.. Alfred Hugenberg, afreed to
inform Chancellor Bruening that
in their opinion it would be un-
constitutional to re-elect Won
Hindenburg by a constitutional
amendment prolonging his term
of office. Since the nationalist and
national Socialist vote would be
required to give the proposed
amendment the necessary two
thirds majority in the Reichstag,
it appeared that a presidential
election in March would be in
eVitable.

PRESIDENT HAS
NO THOUGHT OF
QUITTING RACE
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan IL. UP
Any thought that President Hoover
can be discouraged from seeking, re-
election is regarded as groundless
by his closest advisors.
Postmaster General Brown is
preparing to attend to technical de-
tails OF entering the Presidents
name in all state primaries where
such action is required by law. If
organized opposition to President
Hoover should develop, it was
learned, a militant committee"
will be organized TO press the fight.
This latter action, Mr.. Hoover's
closest friends say, will be unnec-
ecSary. His path toward renomina-
lion. they believe, has been prac-
tiCally cleared, with the pledge of
allegiance by Ambassador Charles
CT. Dawes of Illinois. This spec
tacular figure emphatically re-
moved himself as a potential OBJ
stacle TO Mr. Hoover in a state
ment at Chicago in which he as
serted not only his loyalty but his
admiration and confidence in Mr..
Hoover conduct Of affairs.
One potential rival of Importance
remains in Senator Hiram Johnson
OF California. This veteran foe of
Mr.. Hoover has Just been asked to
enter the North Dakota presidential
primaries by Senators Nye and Fra
zier OF that state. Johnson has the
matter under consideration" How
ever. it is regarded as doubtful
whether he will consent. He must
decide the North Dakota invitation
by January %, when the primary
filing period ends.
The only ether potential opposi-
ton is from ex-senator Joseph C.
France of Maryland, and from Gov
ernor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsyl-
vania. The former has declared
himself a candidate but is regarded
as having little chance. The lat
ter, though having much stronger
following, has given no indication
of his plans.
