then some stroke of conscience had

RubriZ, who had raised the boy to
love him and hate the "gringos," had

MoUe To Relieve
Prison Congestion

SACRAMENTO. Aug. Is. U.H -
Five hundred or more convicts will
be taken from San Quentin and
Folsom prisons and placed in road
camps to relieve overcrowded con-
ditions in the penitentiaries, Earl
Lee Kelly, director Of public works
said today
Passage of the S13, ,950,00O bond is
sue in the special election Tuesday
would have provided $3,500,000 for
construction Cf a new prison in
Southern California. Failure Of
the bond proposal forced the state
to adopt other methods of relieving
the pressure.
Il was keenly disappointed be-
cause of the failure of the bond
proposal" Kelly said. Il believe a
new prison would be a much more
effective method of breaking the
congestion, but my department now
is under considerable pressure tC
expand the road camps, and this
must be done. Crowded conditions
J in the prisons are intolerable."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-How-
ard c. Hopson, financial genius of
the Associated Gas & Electric sys-
tenn, was thrust today into the cen
ter Of an increasingly bitter and
jealous contest over rights of the
two houses of congress.
The mounting anger of leaders
in the struggle of house and senate
lobby committees for jurisdiction
over Hopson reached a new high
when Joseph w. Byrns. lanky and
courteous speaker of the house, is
sued a formal statement charging
that the attempt of the senate ito
take him away" was "an affront
to the house
The basic reason for Hopson's
presence before either house-in-
yestigation of his part in lobbying
on the utilities bill-Was lost sight
Of in the unprecedented contest
between the two branches Of con-
gress.
Back of the contest was a long
developing feeling on the part of
house members that the senate has
adopted & superior attitude not N
keeping with the constitutional
provision that house and senate
are equal.
House Keeps Hold
Both house and senate were ex-
pected to act today to strengthen
their positions in the struggle.
But the fact remained that the
house still had custody of Hopson,
despite his citation for contempt
Of the senate, and possession ap-
peared to be nine points of the
law.
Events leading up to the strange,
and at times comical, dispute over
Hopson briefly were these:
Both house and senate lobby in
vestigating committees set out
three weeks ago to subpoena Hop
son and obtain his testimony.
The house found him last Friday
and kept him in hiding until Mon
day when he went to Capitol Hill
to testify.
The senate committe, headed by
Sen. Hugo L. Black Dem), Ala
bama. was determined to get Hop
son. It felt the house group was
not really getting at the facts of
Hcpeon's lobbying activities.
Finally yesterday a senate COM
mittee subpoena was served on
Hopson. He ignored it. The SEN
ate issued orders requiring Hopson
and his attorney w. A. Hill TO
come before the senate at noon
today and show cause why they
should not be punished.

He told of the operation of the
agrarian land laws, by which fam
lilies are placed upon small farms,
and the successful functioning OF
the plan, and of the efforts being
made by the government to edu-
cate the people. Everywhere, he
stated, more school buildings are
being erected. Thousands of such
buildings have been built in the
last five years, since, in $780,
census disclosed that more than
so per cent of the population in
Mexico is illiterate. Now, in order
to educate the people and utilize
educational facilities to the fullest,
most schools have two sets of teach
erS and two groups of pupils, the
first classes convening at o'clock
and using the school buildings, and
the later classes occupying class
rooms from 1o'clock until dark.
The government intends, he assert
ed, to make of the Mexican people
an Independent thinking class.
The speaker told of the comforts
of the journey, in air conditioned
pullman cars, perfectly cooled and
free from all dust and smoke, which
later became the delegates hotels
when they reached Mexico City. At
the boundary line a carload of
Mexican soldiers was attached to
the train as a guard. He described

NJ. J. DOwd, chief engineer OF the

Heovy silt is still brought down the
river between the dam and the
headgates of the district canal, anu
this will continue even after Parker
dam and Imperial dam are com
E.eted.
1T IS true that percentage OF
silt is much less now than before
Boulder dam was completed, - DoWd
said. but the silt problem has not
been eliminated by construction OF
the dam and on the contrary, eX-
haustive tests have shown that the
desilting plant is very necessary
To pass up construction OF the &c
sitting plant now. as has been sug-
gested by some. would mean greater
cost in constructing it later on, and
the reclamation service has en-
phatically stated that only by con-
struction of the plant can the real
silt problem that costs the district
and the ranchers 50 much annually,
be eliminated.
A technical description Of mper-
ial dam construction, told so that it
could we'll be followed by the lay
man, and a similar description CT
the desilting plant, were also given
by the speaker, who explained that
