almost stagnation. Dealings in the
morning were slightly more active
than in the afternoon. In the for
mer period prices were depressed
when American Telephone broke "a
points to a new low for the year at
92A.
Telephones break followed recent
reductions in dividends of its sub
salaries.
On the bond market, the German
issues provided a lively feature.
Railroad bonds reacted, while rail
stocks held fairly well near the pre-
vious close. United States govern
ment issues were down small
amounts after recent sharp ad-
vanceS.
Cotton futures were steady around
previous closing levels. Silver was
lower.
The rally in wheat brought the
Harvester shares up in the late
stock trading. Case touched A, off
21s, and then made up all the loss.
International Harvester also netted
small gain in the late dealings.
Mail order shares were steady to

Closing hours OF testimony placed
NJ. J. Dowd, chief engineer for the
Imperial Irrigation district. on the
witness stand yesterday afternoon
to back up the testimony of ear
lier witnesses relative to the desir-
ability of the All-American canal.
Arguments which began this
morning will sum up the currents
and cross-currents of testimony
which have swirled about the valid
ity of the proposed canal contract.
Arvin B. Shaw, Jr., and William
e. Irving, attorneys for the Coach
ella Valley County Water district.
and M. w. Conkling, attorney for
Charles Malan. will attack the
contract in an effort to prove 1t
illegal.
Charles L. Childers, chief coun-
sci, and D. B. Roberts, representa-
tives of the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict, will rebut the arguments of
opposing counsel in an effort to
have the contract declared valid.
Mainly, the arguments will hinge
on the contentious of the oppos-
ition forces that the All-American
canal will violate the water rights
Of Coachella Valley and, as Malan
contends, of Imperial Valley, and
that the cost of construction of the
canal was not correctly estimated
either on the notice of election or
on the ballots Of rhe election at
which people of Imperial Valley

cycle all around the country. To
date he has Travelled 9,185 miles on
foot, having started from Seattle
November Is, 1880, proceeding to
New York and is now on his way
back to Los Angeles.
Why anyone would want to walk
when he has good motorcycle is
a condition that Smith says causes
him to answer many questions.
He explains his stunt by wishing
to disprove the claim of socialists
that man cannot pull mis- weight
pound for pound eight hours a day

SACRAMENTO, March "a. U.P)-
Unable to complete the hearing in
one day, Referee A. E. Shaw of
the state supreme court today was
to continue taking evidence con-
cerning the leasing by the state of
the state building annex in San
Francisco.
The hearing is part of the
proceedings instituted by owners of
the annex to force Ray L. Riley,
state controller. to pay rental for
the building. Riley has claimed
that incidents of the lease consti-
tuted fraud.
Ralph o. Marion, deputy attor-
ney general, brought out the fact
at yesterdays hearing that at the
time ROLAND A. Vandegrift, state
director of finance, signed the
lease calling for rental payments
Of $5,068 monthly to Realty In

sion an offer to furnish compara-
ple office quarters for half that
cost.
The less expensive offer was
made by the Milton Meyer Com

he had not accepted this proposal,
Vandegrift said:
Il didn't consider it bona fide.
The Franklin street site proposed
by the Meyer company was not

ATEARLY so years after the "Mayflower" had

lage Of Plymouth saw what mightbe called
the most important wedding Of Colonial times,
genealogically speaking.
It was simple, quiet, deeply religious affair
To the Colonists it meant much. Here was young
Jonathan Delano, aged 81, whose father, Philippe
De Ia Noye, Frenchman, had come over on the
''Fortune," the second Pilgrim ship, in 1921. The
young man had recently earned high reputa-
ton for bravery in the Pequot War, winning the
title Of Lieutenant and having been one of the
1s white men who had boldly raided the Indian
stronghold and killed King Philip: In the couple
Of years since the war had ended, Lieutenant
Delano had acquired farm on the Dartmouth

father, the distinguished Richard Warren, had
come over on. the "Mayflower'' in, 1920. He

ably went with them to England. The two ships
left Plymouth together, westward bound, and the
"Mayflower" went on. It is conjecture, though
very probable conjecture, that Philippe De Ia
Noye was on the "Speedwell."
For, the next year, after the "Mayflower'
company had passed through their first terrific
winter on American soil, into Plymouth harbor
one day sailed second ship, the Fortune" It
brought 35 new Pilgrims. And Philippe De la
Noye was on that second ship: Some years
after landing he married an English girl, Hester
Dewsbufy.
The name "De la Noye," now "Delano," is de-
rived from the town of Lannoy, near Lille,
AS far back as 86S A. D. this town was called
Alnetum, later L'Annois, LAnnoe, LAulmais,
LAulnoy, Lannoy. From the Norman lords Of
this town, Philippe was descended.
Ten generations back, his direct ancestor was
Hughes de Lannoy. Six generations further back,
it was Arnulphe de Franchmont, founder Of the
