Night Against Harvard

New Haven, Conn, March ga
brisk sale of tickets yesterday for
the third YALE Harvard hockey
game at the New Haven Arena
Wednesday night indicated that a
capacity crowd would see the con-
test.
Despite the heavy sale Harold
f. Woodcock, general manager of
the Yale Athletic association, an
nounced that enough tickets re-
main to allow for reservations or
dered by telegraph by Yale alumni
from various cities.
Yale's fine showing In the second
game of the annual series, which
drew $1,000 spectators to the Bos-
ton Garden Saturday night, has
heightened interest greatly.
The Crimson won the first game,
4 to /, but in the second Yale al
most evened the standing when
George Mills netted the puck In
the first overtime period.
Barry Wood came thu ough a
short time later, however, and tied
the count and the game ended at
1-all after a second overtime Pc
Rod had failed to break the dead
lock.
As q result the Crimson and the
Ellis will meet for the third en-
counter with neither occupying the
position as favorite.
One outstanding player in the
second engagement was Colman
Curtiss, Jr, goalkeeper for the Yale
forces. He will appear at this po-
sition again tomorrow. 1t Is likely
that both teams will start the
game with the same lineup used
Saturday.
Whatever the outcome of to-
morrow's game 1t will close tho
Harvard hockey for the sea-
son, according to mutual agree
ment.

in the colorful battle to harness
the Colorado and water the lands
of the southwest, district officials
who returned last night from the
conference, stated today.

FOREIGN ENJOYS
FAIL in EFFORT
TO HALT BATTLE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. U.P)-
American Minister Nelson T. John
son at Shanghai reported to the
state department today that he,
with the British, French and Ital-
ian ministers, had made represen-
tations to the Japanese minister
concerning danger to American life
and property and also had made
eleventh hour efforts to maintain
peace.
The four western spokesmen
pointed out to the japanese that
they could not avoid a large meas
ure of responsibility for the jeop-
ardy to foreign life and property
at Shanghai" The Japanese con-
sui replied that the issue rested
with the Chinese.
In another report, Johnson said
the American, British, French and
Italian military attaches made rep
reservations to the Chinese gen.
eral, Tsai Ping-Kai, against artil-
lery fire into the Yangtzepoo Sec
ton. The Chinese replied that he
would not fire into their section
again if he were assured the jap
anese artillery had not taken ur
/ positions there.

these reports public today at his

not discuss the Shanghai situation

PETITION SEEKS
BANKRUPTCY FOR
FULLERTON FIRM

LOS ANGELES. Feb. 20. UP)-A
petition for an equity receivershir
for the Bastanchury Corporation
Ltd, of Fullerton, was dismissed
here today at the request of plain
tiffs and a petition of bankruptcy
was substituted.
The petitioners were the Ameri-
can Motorists Insurance company
an Illinois corporation, and the Owl
Fumigating Corporation. of Della
ware. They charged the Bastan-
chury corporation owed them ap-
proXimately $4,000.
The petitioners claimed the Bas-
tanchury concern was indebted in
excess of S3.800.000. OF this amount
S3,000,000 is secured by trust deeds
it was said The Bastanchury firm
now owes 5000 in taxes, it was
contended.
Judge CoSgraye granted a re-
straining order to prevent sale of
the Bastanchury property by the
Hellman Commercial Trust and
Savings bank, holder of a mortgage
on the property for S1,l70,000 and
set February 90 for the mortgage
holder to appear to show cause why
a permanent order should not be
issued to prevent sale of the prop
erty.
The petitioners for the bank
ruptcy action contended that if the
assets of the corporation were CIV
en- protection, sufficient money
could be derived to discharge obli-
cations in full, and that forced
sale would disSipate the assets of
the concern.

Representatives of the Metro
politan Water district yesterday
agreed to the demands of the agri-
cultural group and it is hoped by
district leaders that the final chap
ter has been written. District rec
ords show the following steps in
water ALLEGATION:
Following the seven states agree
ment, the three lower states failed
to agree on apportionment. Con-
gress thereupon fixed a limitation
for California of 100000 second
feet of firm water and legislature
of California accepted the limita-
ton.
The next step then was for Cali
fornia to divide that water and
other water to which. the state
might be entitled.
c. C. Young, then governor of
the state. called a conference early
in February of 1890 before men,
bers of the Colorado River COM
mission. Negotiations between ag-
ricultural and Metropolitan inter-
ests as to division we're carried on
and agreement finally reached Feb
ruary 81.
The agricultural group ratified
! the agreement in March but the
Metropolitan interests failed to dc
so.
| On April "a, 1890, the Metropoli-
tan interests entered into a secret
| npreement with the government and
the next day ratified the agree
ment with the agricultural group
Immediately the agricultural group
demanded that the secret agree
ment be made to conform with
! the agreement between the two in
| terestS.
The Metropolitan group repeat
edly agreed to the amendment but
consistently failed to bring il
about The Imperial Irrigation dis
trict prepared a resolution to be
presented to the legislature anC
carried the fight into that quarter
Matters were brought to a heac
when the Metropolitan district Pc
titioned the government to builo

| construct the dam and to be giver
control of it. Agricultural interests
violently objected and the bureau
of reclamation objected. The Met
! ropolitan interests could not pro-
ceed with their plans in the face
of the objections and yesterdays
agreement was finally reached.
