years in states prison were i'm
posed on Earl and Clyde Bonner
by Judge Thompson in the SUI
perior court this morning. Earl
will be committed to San Quentin
and Clyde to Folsom under the
terms of the courts ruling. A five
day stay of execution was granted
in the case of Clyde who has

ALI. ON T No
SECOND FEET
ON 80 ACRES
Amount Advanced Half-Second
Foot Over That Permitted In
Last Proration Period.
RAISE NOT PERMANENT
Improved Conditions In River
Flow Permit Temporary Ac-
tion To Be Taken.

Following on the heels of last
weeks announcement of an in
crease in the amount of water
prorated to valley ranchers, the
Imperial Irrigation District an
nounced a further increase of q
half-second foot for the next pro-
ration period
This means that ranchers will
be allowed two second feet OF
water for every 80 acres during the
next proration period which starts
Monday, November 10.
The additional increase is made
possible by improved conditions
along the Colorado river BASIN
but it is pointed out that the i'm
provement should not be accepted
as a permanent condition. 1t may
be necessary to reduce the allow
ance later, depending upon the
amount of water available to the
valley and ranchers are urged to
make the best use of the additional
quantity allowed while it is pos
sible for them to do so.
Water users who plan to order
during the next proration period,
are asked by district officials to do
SO as soon as possible, as prompt
orders will greatly aid the division
officers in assigning the water.
Rainstorms during the week in
portions of the river basin, have
caused an increased flow in the
river.
AS reported in the daily data on
river conditions elsewhere On this
page, an encouraging rise lS noted
in today's figures over those OF
yesterday.
It is believed ranchers in gem
eral will be greatly encouraged by
the additional water allotted to them
and that planting operations will
show an increased activity.
The district board of directors
is assigning water on the basis OF
acreage instead of prorating it
only to lands now in crops or
planted recently.
During this week delegations Of
ranchers representing various agri-
cultural activities appeared before
the board to request additional
water for their particular needs.
After hearing the various claims
the directors decided that it was
impractical and unfair to give pref
erence to any particular group,
holding that each was viewed WITH
equal importance SO far as the
board is concerned, and that it is
the duty of the board to treat
all alike.

Prevent Catastrophe.
BODIES BADLY MANCLED

LOS ANGELES, Nov. II. U.P) -
Four persons, one woman and three
men, were killed today when the
aluminium cabin plane in which
they were riding crashed into q
hillside six miles south of Newhall.
The dead included WE. Thomas.
president of the Pacific Airmotive
corporation, owner of the plane.
Others were Roy Kidd, shop en-
loyee of the corporation, F. J.
Matthews, a passenger, and Doro-
thea Benham, telephone girl who
was employed by the airplane COM
pany.
A low hanging fog was held re-
sponsible for the accident.
The single-motored cabin plane
hit a hillside boulder about $50
feet below the crest.
Wreckage of the plane and the
broken bodies of the victims were
scattered almost to the top of the
hill.
Frank Reyes, working on near
by ranch, said he saw the plane
crash. He said it was circling low,
apparently lost in the fog. He be-
lieved the pilot crashed when the
hillside suddenly loomed up out
CT the fog and the plane could
not gain altitude Immediately.
Friends said Thomas had taken
! his companions on a sightseeing
flight to view the wreckage of a
TWA mail plane which cracked up
near Saugus, less than 10 miles
away, So hours before. In that
accident, George Rice, veteran pilot.
was slightly injured when he was
forced down by lowering clouds.
The bodies were so mangled that
Identification was difficult. Work
ers were forced to cut through
the twisted wreckage to remove
the bodies.
One of the first persons to the
scene was Paul Mantz, film stunt
flyer, who a few minutes before
had waved goodbye to the party.
ceived MantZ Immediately took to
the air in his own plane, swooped
low over the wreckage and re-
turned with word that there was
not chance that anyone escaped
death.

BORAH STANDS
BY ASSERTION
Says United Press Survey Bears
Out His Charge OF Waste In
Relief Administration.

Copyright, 1884, By United Press
Washington, Nov. II. Reports
compiled by the United Press on
the costs of administering relief
funds in various states were hailed
by Sen. William E. Borah, r., Idaho,
today as bearing out his conten-
ton that such costs are too high.
Borah recently started con-
troversy over relief fund dis
tribution costs by demanding an
investigation of what he described
as "ineXcusable waste The United
Press reports showed that they
ranged as high as "a per cent in
some places.
These reports seem to me to
reveal Enthusiastically that there is
waste and of such a nature that it
cannot be successfully explained
away or defended" Borah said
u take that position particular
ly because there are cases where
expenditures Of relief funds are
on a reasonable basis of cost.
1T must be clear to everyone that
a complete overhauling of the en-
tire system is inevitable. At a time
when there are millions hungry
it ought not to cost these figures
to feed them"
The reports referred to by Borah
come from Texas, Arkansas, Mis-
souri,, Michigan, and New York.
Only in the case of Michigan did
the administrative cost comply
with the approximate figure of
eight per cent set by Relief Ad-
ministrator Harry Hopkins as an
average cost of administering re-
lief funds.
In Michigan the cost ran slight
ly above eight per cent.
In Arkansas the cost averaged
24.7 per cent for the period of
May to September inclusive.
In Texas the cost has been re-
duced to about 1T per cent as
the result of a determined effort.
New York state administers re-
lief fund at about 10 per cent,
according to United Press figures.
In Missouri the cost is a little be-
low IS per cent on the basis OF
September distributions when $483,-
296 in salaries and expenses was
spent to administer q fund OF
$3,l27,740.

STRIKES At
LONG REGIME
Federal Funds For New Orleans
Work To Be Withheld 'Indef-
initely.'

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. II. U.PN-
First repercussions of Sen. Huey
P. Longs dictatorship struck New
Orleans today.
The federal government stated
it temporarily was withholding
funds for a municipal project and
a chain store company announced
its all but complete withdrawal
from the local field.
This city, whose municipal gov
ernment was stripped of practically
all power by the Long
legislature, was quiet = saying
little, thinking much" as one prom
inent citizen said.
The newspapers, all bitterly op-
posed to the Long regime, had
little comment.
The Schultz Cigar Store cor
poration announced that because
of high chain store taxes passed
by the Long legislature, it was
closing three of its four local stores
Immediately, and was keeping the
fourth open only temporarily. "
A store in Baton Rouge also will
remain open for the present.
The New Orleans sewerage and
water board, control of which was
taken over by the state government
under another legislative act. was
informed by the federal public
administration that a $1,800,00(
loan and q 100000 grand for re-
modelling work had been held ur
indefinitely" The administration S
telegram said officials would study
the change in control before act
ing
To Study Laws
The "A laws finally approved by
Longs legislature yesterday do not
become effective fer 20 days. Mean
while some of the states leading
attorneys will scrutinize them on
constitutional grounds. 1t was be-
lieved probable that some would
be challenged in the courts.
Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley and
other city officials, all members Of
the old regulars machine. refused
to say whether they would turn
control of the municipal police and
fire departments over to state
civil service commission headed by
Long appointees. 1t generally was
believed that they would refuse
to comply, contending the law
violated the constitution, thereby
initiating a test.
The "kingfish" himself remained
in Baton Rouge, eXulting in his
trump. The A laws concentrated
control of all police and fire de-
partments with the state govern
ment and stripped New Orleans
municipal government of control
of three other agencies.

VOTE ON NEW
INDICTMENTS
AGAINST Fits

LOS ANGELES, Nov. IT. U.P)-
The county grand jury was con-
voked in special session today to
vote on additional bills of indict-
ment against District Attorney
Buron Fits, already under indict-
ment on perjury charges.
The jury was said to be consid-
ering indictments charging bribery
against four persons as a final
climax to its prolonged inveStiga-
ton of the so-called Hollywood
Glove mart case.
Foreman John P. Buckley said
he was calling the special session
in order to dispose of the case be-
fore the jury plunges into a thor
ough study of alleged city and
county graft scandals involving
paving contracts.
Fits was indicted several weeks
ago. The indictment charges he
offered perjured testimony to the
1881 county grand jury which was
investigating his dismissal of a
morals charge against John P.
Mills, wealthy San Diego realtor.
Mills was freed without going to
trial after he had been arrested on
a charge of "patronizing' So
called "love mart" Fits sisIr
and confidential secretary, Mrs.
Berthal Gregory, also was indict-
eG on perjury charges.
A juristS field day was promised
by Fits when he opens an attack
on the indictment Monday. The
prosecutor said he would introduce
at the preliminary hearing the en-
tire personnel of the superior
bench as defense witnesses who
would assert the present grand jury
was illegally selected He has ac-
cused Superior Judge Fletcher
Bowron of manipulating the grand
jury for the specific purpose of in
dieting him.
