Memories of two thrilling trips
by boat down the Colorado river
over 40 years ago. were recounted
yesterday by w. H. Edwards, ice
manufacturer at Compton, here to
attend the convention of the South
ern California Arizona Association
OF Ice Industries.
Mr. Edwards, an alert, active
young fellow" who hardly looked
old enough to have taken part in
such adventures so long ago, was
one of a party headed by R. B
Stanton, prominent Colorado pro-
moter. who was looking into the
feasibility of a new railroad line
down through thee Colorado basin
to provide quick and practical out
let for the product of Colorado coal
mines.
A trip down the Colorado was part
of his survey plan and party Of IL
embarked in three specially con-
structed boats, % feet by Az feet
deep to make the hazardous trip
which had previously been under
taken in 1859 by Major Powell and
his party.
The start was made below Green
river on November 25, 1889. BY De-
cember 10 the party had reached
Lees Ferry after hair raising expe-
rienceS with the cataracts and
rapids of the upper Colorado. AL
though it was the low water" Pc
riod Of the year, Mr.. Edwards
stated the party experienced rough
water the greater part of the trip,
waves in some places being Is feet
high. Running the boats through
the treacherous water required not
only muscle and skill but plenty Of
good luck.
The only casualty had the party's
official photographer as its victim,
this unfortunate man breaking a
leg in a fall from cliff while try
ing 10 get a photograph. He was
packed out over the cliffs at Lees
Ferry and was taken back TO civil
ization" TO have his injury treated.
After resting up at Lees Ferry for
several days the party proceeded
through the worst part Of its trip
through the Grand Canyon. 1t took
them until December % TO negoti-
ate this dangerous passage which
was a repetition of the previous part
of the journey on a greatly magni-
fled scale
From the southwestern end Of the
Canyon on the remainder Of the
trip took them through Black and
Boulder Canyons and on down to
Yuma which was reached on March
II. 1890. That was st. Patrick s
day" Mr.. Edwards pointed out
"and an easy date to remember. We
continued on to the Gulf of Califor-
MIA after we had spent several days
at Yuma resting from out strenu-
Gus trip, and explored much Of tht
delta region.
we had experiences too mum
erous TO mention in the course o.
the long tortuous trip not the leas

Teacher Finally
accepts Dismissal
In RO,U Ouer Flag
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, November IA
Miss Esther De Lee, 2I-year-old
teacher. today gave up her effort to
remain in the Pompey Hollow rural
school room from which she was
fired" last week by a trustee in an
argument over the display of the
American flag, and there were indi-
cations that an immediate appeal to
the State Department of Education
was to be taken in her behalf.
James M. Armstrong, the trustee,
unlocked the door of the schoolhouse
this morning. Miss Marie Pomillio of
Rome, who taught there last year and
who stood at the side of Miss De Lee
yesterday to share the teaching duties,
took the classes for the day.
Miss De Lees decision not to return
to the school came after she learned
that her superintendent. George T.
Fuggle, just returned from a hunting
trip, had taken the side Of the trustee.

complains. Il know almost every man
who makes . living in this racket. My
squad could round them up. They
laugh at Tvs. They know we are not
backed by the law. Our activity stops
where 1t begins. The District attor-
ney's office advocates O law. So does
the Police Department. 1t has yet to
be enacted"
Bootleggers Ply Game.
Probably no man In all Washing
ton knows as much about the under
world as Lieut.. Little. He says that
erstwhile bootleggers are going into
the numbers game. They are lured by
change hands each day.
Ten thousand . day?" he was
asked
More than that" he replied.
Nearer $25.000. Maybe $4,000. Big
money, anyway"
Most Of the play is in the downtown
area. though the smaller fry ply their
trade in outlying districts.
An average runner may collect $500
q day, Lieut.. Little said. He cited the
case Of runner arrested for speeding
Of money. Numbers slips branded
him. Yet the police could place no
charge legally. Cited, as q test case, q
jury let the runner on.
The lieutenant outlined details of
the racket. The man who solicits bets
receives 5 per cent of the turn-in. If
he writes" the winning number he
collects rs per cent from the ticket
holder. The big shot, who sends out
the runners, gets 10 per cent Of the
receipts.
Gross Almost Clear.
These operators have Offices. That
Is their main expense. Sometimes a
clerk is hired-at $l8 a week. Out
side Of that, Office rent and a possible
telephone bill, the 10 per cent realized
from collections amounts to clear
profit.
Cagey individuals, numbers opera
tors know that the police have only
one way of effecting an arrest; by
catching them in the act of making
a play" in their Offices or homes. They
could then be charged with setting
up gaming table" To evade this,
most transactions are made on the
open streets, by men afoot or men in
automobiles. Police cannot stop that.
Since interest in horse racing has
dropped of, many of these gamblers
have gone into the numbers game.
They know that police must catch
them making play" in an inclosure.
So they work with immunity.
If the public only knew the futility
facing the police" Lieut.. Little said,
lin trying to rid the city Of a racket,
something might be done about it.
The public is duty bound to get law
enacted to break up a bad business
Until that takes place, cooperation of
the newspapers and the radio offers
the only solution"

to some onlookers as sign that no

have been hints that Congress may
be asked to put utility holding COM

section Of the A. A. A., told a crowd

cotton centers in connection with
plans for future control proposals.
I'VE are faced with the graves
crisis in the South since the Civi
War" he declared, expressing alarm
at the possibility Of no control in 1885
and no legislation to enforce it. A
poll will be taken on the Bankhead
act early in December.
Last year We plowed under 10000
900 acres Of cotton, an unprecedented
thing in agricultural history" sale
Cobb, this I think literally did save
the South. We were saved from o
coming harvest of 1880 900 bales and
came to the harvest with only 49,

household necessities and other prod
ucts.
Adoption of the program on a ma
tional scale, Henderson said, would
cause expansion of the Buckeye self
help system. which now provides jobs
for nearly 1000 persons.
This State took over the operation
Of the factories, formerly idle. Three
months ago numerous protests caused
Gov. White to delay approval Of the
unusual program and an ensuing con-
troyersy developed his statement that
the system was an approach to So
cialism.
Competition is Denied.
From Henderson, however, came the
statement that the factories did not
constitute competition with legiti-
mate industry. The self-help plan
he insisted, provided jobs and per-
mitted distribution of necessities
among idle thousands who could not
buy them otherwise.
Besides factories turning out china
ware, stoves. wearing apparel, furni-
ture and other products, the State
with Federal aid is financing manu-
facture of mattresses in 38 counties
These units employ 1888 persons
mostly women. There also are q
number of food canning plants.
The factories operated under the
general self-help program employ
nearly 700 workers.
