CLIMAX OF LONG FIGHT
Governor Moeur Contends State
Rights Being Invaded By Six
Companies, Inc.
CLIMAX OF LONG FIGHT


PHOENIX. Ariz.. Nov. 10. U.P)--
Gov. B. B. Moeur today declared
martial law along the Colorado ri
yer at the site of the Parker dam
where the Metropolitan Water Dis.
trict of Southern California start
ed construction work on the main
portion of the giant water supply
project.
The move came following reports
to the governors office by nation
al guardsmen sent to the site several
months ago, that the Six Companies
Inc, had started constructing a
bridge across the river. The guards
men were ordered to the site ito
protect the sovereign rights of the
state of Arizona" the Governor
said.
The present compliment of five
men will be increased Immediately
to prevent workers crossing onto Ari-
zona soil until the muchly disputed
water rights along the Colorado
have been settled, the governor said.
Action of the governor came af-
ter report was made by Maj. P. I.
Pomeroy, who has been stationed at
the dam since last March to observe
operations along the river. He was
dispatched to Parker when engin-
GERS for the metropolitan water dis
! trict crossed the river to make sur
veys for the proposed dam
At that time Gov. Moeur sent a
message to officials of the water
district informing them he would
not allow construction work on the
Arizona side of the river until dis
putes over the water rights had
been setted in an agreeable fashion
with Arizona.
In his proclamation declaring
martial law, Gov Moeur has order
ed the Arizona national guard Ito
take possession and control of said
area and to use all means necessary
to prevent any and all persons from
tleSpassing thereon and to eject
trespasSers therefrom and to use all
means necessary to stop and prevent
the construction of said bridge on
the Arizona side of the state boun-
dairy"
A company of more than 60
guardsmen were being mcbilized
here today to cave Immediately for
the scene. They will be under the
command of Maj Pomeroy and will
be fully equipped to meet any emer-
gency, as though marching to war
The district to be patroled and
now in state of martial law ex-
tends for approximately two miles
in each direction from the dam site.
Arizona is asking for a portion of
the water both at the upper and
lower end of the river where it
forms the state boundary line.
This includes rights near the
Boulder dam as well as the site of
the proposed Parker dam. More
than 100000 acre feet of water is
involved in the dispute 1t was claim
ed. The matter is now in the hands
of officials in Washington where
it has been presented by Arizona.

Period Of Proration.
RAISE ONLY TEMPORARY
District Board To Continue AL
location On Basis OF Acreage
Instead OF Crops.

According to notice received
here this morning the present pro-
ration of water period in which
the Imperial Irrigation district is
delivering water to valley ranches
will end next Monday, and Elmer
Hartzog, acting superintendent,
asks that all those desiring water
during this period should have
their orders in at division offices
by p. m, tomorrow, Sunday, No

1t is possible that the next pro-
ration period will start sometime
next week and it is further an
nounced that during this period
~ second feet of water per 80
acres will be delivered instead Of
the one foot limit which obtains
at present.
Ranchers are warned, however,
that they should not base future
operations on this slight raise as
operations on this Slight raise as it
duced again just as soon as such
action becomes necessary.
A lessening in the evaporation
and a Slight rise noted at the
Grand Canyon and the diversion
which is 200 second feet today,
led to this added proration basis.
Dairymen are asked to prepare
their ground and seed it in order
to take fullest advantage of the
increased water during the next
proration period.
The irrigation district board OF
directors met with delegates from
the various ranching and farming
elements in the county yesterday
afternoon for discussion on the
problem of making an adequate
proration of available water sup
plies.
After listening to the arguments
presented by dairymen, orchardlsts,
grain growers and other valley
farmers, the board by 80 vote
determined to continue present
proration rules. Directors Hewes,
Kalin and Young voted for the
continuation of present methods
while Directors Rose and Aten
contended that water should be
prorated only to lands now in crop
or recently planted.

from Tucson early this week.
Held incommunicado in the coun-

II knew nothing of the case" the
former dude rancher said. Il was
taken from my home in Tucson on

NEW ITALIAN
STATE: OPENS
Capital And Labor Parliament
Inaugurated By Mussolini AS
Ideal Government.
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

OI1tC1 iSSc otaiA SohitoPOAAuS~e
ROME, Nov. 10. lU.Pl-Italy's new
parliament, precedent in world
history, in which capital and labor
will be represented equally and the
divisions of economic life will be
substituted for the factions of
party politics, was born today.
In the hall of Julius Caesar cn
ancient Capitoline hill, Premier
Benito Mussoiini, members of this
cabinet and 823 delegates of the
% corporations of the new Facist
state, held their first meeting.
They comprised the council of
corporations, the new economic
parliament, which will govern Italy
as did the parliament it is tc sup
plant.
1t was believed to be the first
time that representatives of cap
ital and labor, equal in power had
sat in authoritative deliberative
assembly to direct the legislative
affairs of nation.
AS Mussolini led the world in
postwar relationships that has
spread through Europe, he led the
world today with the Fascist con-
ception of the Goth century eVolu-
ton of government that has pro-
gressed from tribal councils through
the Greek republics, the kingdoms
and empires and parliaments and
congresses to a body worked out
nationally to represent citizens &C
cording to their station and their
work.
Mussolini, conscious of the cul-
mination of eight years of study
of a system of government he
wanted to be truly representative
according to Fascist ideals, said
in his speech opening the parlia-
ment:
This is the most imposing event
in the history of Italy. Indeed it
is unprecedented in any history"

regularities, Hopkins appeared ready
to act Immediately to remedy tham.
WASHINGTON. Nov. TO- U.P)--
Government relief expenditures
were thrust today into the fore
front of political controversy with
indications developing that pro-
gressive Republicans in congress,
led by Sen William E. Borah, r.,
Ida, might attempt an inquiry
into the situation.
Borah's charges of scandal" in
connection with alleged use of
relief funds for political prestige,
and his allegations of shameful
waste" brought an immediate re-
port from Federal Relief Admin
istrator Harry L. Hopkins.
If given bill of particular"
from Borah, Hopkins promised
quick action" Borah however
while limiting that he had plenty
of evidence, declined to make it
public.
The aftermath of the national
campaign controversial relief issue,
climaxed by ALLEGATION OF relief
funds to states just before the
election, came as President Roose-
welt was conferring almost con-
stantly with advisers over the
scope of relief next year.
For this winter, at least, it ap-
peared that the present work and
direct relief setup would continue
The relief administration has
viewed continuance of the present
setup as necessary. Direct relief is
cheaper than work relief and is
likely to be more extensive fol
that reason. The present admins
| .trative cost of relief has been eS-
timated at II cents on every del.
! lar.
Borah charged, however. that
many of the unemployed were not
being provided for and that "ap-
palling waste" exists. He opposed
public works activities except
where it was proven the jobless
would be aided. He favored relief
only to those actually in need.
President Roosevelt had no i'm
mediate comment TO make on
Borah's suggestion that either he
or congress start an investigation
Borah said if necessary he would
sponsor congressional inquiry.

DAUGHTER Of
NJ 'AD0O WE'D

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10. U.P) -
Eleanor McAdoo, 19-year- daugh-
ter of U. S. Senator William Gibbs
McAdoo, and Rafael De Onate,
Spaniard about whose racial origin
storm had broken, were married
today in Albuquerque, N. NJ, Sen
McAdco announced at his offices
here.
The marriage took place with his
consent, the senator said.
Whether Miss McAdoo and her
fiance went to Albuquerque in or
der to avoid the inevitable publicity
of a marriage in California Or bor-
Ger states, or whether De Onate
had failed to convince California
authorities that he was Of unmiti-
gated Spanish extraction, without a
trace of Filipino blood, was not inn
mediately learned.
California law forbids the mar
riage of Caucasians and Filipinos
The state supreme court has pro
nounced Filipinos unasSimilable.
Announcement two weeks ago OF
the couples intention to wed, pub
lished at Riverside, Calf, immedi-
ately brought down a storm Of op-
position, led by Sen. McAdoo's law
partner, William H. Neblett, in Sen
McAdoo's absence in Washington.
Neblett insisted that he had es-
tablshed that De Onate was partly
Filipino, and the county clerk al
Riverside refused to issue the Ii
cense until De Onate proved to the
contrary. Sen. McAdoo at the time
also telegraphed his opposition to
the marriage, threatening to cut
off his daughters announced $10,-
O00-a-year allowance and deprive
her of the use of her automobile.
Later, however, the senator re
canted with the announcement that
his daughter was of age and might
marry whomever she wished, sc
that today's ceremony was not
complete surprise.
Mrs. De Onate is the oldest
daughter of Senator McAdoo and
Mrs. Eleanor Wilson McAdoo
daughter of the late President
Woodrow Wilson, who divorced Sen
McAdoo here two months ago.
