ARIZONA WILL.
ASK COURT To
RULE ON RIVER

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 7. W.P) -
Arizona will file suit on the United
States supreme court before Octo-
ber, seeking adjudication of water
rights on the Colorado River and
asking Interpretation of the Boul-
der Canyon project act, Attorney
General John L. Sullivan an
nounced today
In it's request for Interpretation
of the Boulder Canyon project act,
Arizona specifically will seek court
Qualification of the section placing
upon California a water usage linn
it, Sullivan said.
Such a lawsuit, it was believed,
will throw the whole matter of di-
vision of the Colorados water wide
open," and permit final definite
adjudication of the rights of the
Colorado basin states.
While Sullivan would not disclose
details of the proposed suit, he in
dicated it may name as defendants
only California and Nevada, and
that it may ask that California be
restrained from taking any addi-
tional water from the stream pend
ing settlement.
The proposed lawsuit, it was be-
lieved, will end for all time bick-
ering between California, Arizona
and other Colorado basin states
over the rivers water. AT one time,
Arizona declared war" on Cali
fornia and sent troops to the river
to prevent construction of the Par
ker diversion dam. Later, the Uni
ted States supreme court ruled that
the dam may not be built without
Arizona's consent.

The high school will accept the
cups, according to Principal House,
in the same spirit in which they
were sent--a good joke and the in
spiration for hearty laughs as they
were examined this morning.
Unfortunately the donor punched
holes in the cups so it will not be
possible to invite the Brawley gang
down to use them as cups of good
fellowship, but maybe they can be
soldered at the high school shop
and used for that purpose.
If a newspaperman may be per-
mitted to make a suggestion, both
schools can use plenty of laughs
and their rivalry should not be
colored by too much seriousness.
They can have pecks of fun togeth-
er if their rivalry is kept good-na-
tured. Taking it too seriously is
Just like taking life too seriously
full of aches and pains.

Wants To Obtain Final Verdict
On Points Under Dispute In
District Offices
SITUATION NOT CHANGED
Con ditions At Headquarters
Remain The Sa me Pending
Further Action

Until the state supreme court
either denies our application for a
rehearing or grants it and then
makes disposition of the matter as
it sees fit, the status of the irri-
cation district election controversy
will remain just as it is at pre-
sent" Harry w. Horton, chief
counsel for the district stated this
morning.
Horton left for San Diego today
TO secure a copy of the decision
handed down by the appellate
court yesterday afternoon in which
it was declared that the February
6 general district election was null
and void because the district pro-
perty qualification act is unconsti-
tutional. No copy of this decision
tification Horton had of any ac-
ton in the matter was a memoir
andum to the effect that the writ
of mandate asked by McLver and
Barry against Hatch and Bratton
was denied by the court.
Denial of this writ was natur-
al consequence of the courts ruling
out the entire election on the
grounds that the qualification act
is unconstitutional and precluded
any further decisions in the con-
troversy on other grounds.
n
the supreme court to have the
question reheard before that tri-
bunal' Horton said. THE action
of the appellate court in declaring
the election void means merely that
the body has expressed its opinion
in the matter and this opinion will
not be final until the supreme
court of the state either accepts or
rejects it,"
The district counsel said he
would have this application ready
for filing within day or two after
he has studied the decision of the
appellate court. Should the sup
RENE court decide to entertain this
application notice to this effect will
be evidenced within 20 days. If the
supreme court is satisfied with the
district courts opinion in the case
the matter will be finally decided,
if not, then the whole question will
be reopened and a verdict given
by the supreme court.
Law Held Invalid
This decision which has been
awaited ever since the matter was
submitted to the court on briefs

TO ENFORCE TRUST LAWS

WASHINGTON, June !. W.p)--
President Roosevelt today accept
ed the resignation of Donald r.
Richberg as chairman of the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery board,
effective June 16.
The President in accepting the
resignation expressed the hope,
however, that the retiring chair
man would be willing to stay In
Washington for a short period
after June 16 "in order to trans
fer as effectively as possible.
your duties as chairman to the
succeeding administration"
WASHINGTON, June Z WH--The
house today voted to extend
powerless and skeletonized NRA
until next April /. The vote was
264 to 121.
Debate throughout the day was
marked by Republican attacks on
the resolution, many of them being
couched in satirical vein.
The NRA extension resolution was
sent to the senate, which has nine
days to act before the present law
expires June 16.
Republicans fought the resolution
and proposed that the federal trade
commission be authorized to in
vestigate other possible means Of
promoting the wage, hours, and
child labor standards of NRA.
WASHINGTON, June z UH -
President Roosevelt today declared
the notification of all codes by the
supreme court meant a return to
fundamental laws, including the
antitrust statute, which he is sworn
TO uphold.
The President made this state
ment at a press conference as the
house under limited debate pushed
passage of resolution continuing
a skeletonized NRA until April l,
1896.
The resolution kills the Presi-
dents powers to approve and en-
force codes, but apparently would
permit voluntary agreements. Mr..
Roosevelt said he favored voluntary
codes so long as they do not run
counter to statutes, but pointed out
he had no authority to waive the
antitrust requirements.
The original NRA had forbade
any prosecutions of business under
the antitrust statutes for doing
things which approved codes per-
mitted
Mr.. Roosevelt's expression follow
ed statement by Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings that continued
price fixing and similar practices
would raise serious questions for the
government in connection with the
antitrust laws, with possible
prosecutions.

TACOMA, Wash, June 7. U.P)-
A beautiful platinum blonde today
became the central figure of the
spreading search for the gang
which held George Weyerhaeuser,
son of a Tacoma millionaire, until
100000 ransom was paid for his
release.
Both federal agents and police
want to question a 25-year-old wo-
man and her male companion, a
suspect in fraud deals, it was
learned.
The couple is believed fleeing
across the mountains of Utah and
wyoming, riding in a 1929 Cadillac
sedan, according to information
received here. 1t was recalled that
a Cadillac sedan was reported seen
near the scene of the kidnapping.
The woman and her companion
entered the Weyerhauser case Of
ficially yesterday when a service
station operator at Brigham City,
Utah, reported an attempt to pass
one of the $40 federal reserve ram
som notes. 1t developed the bill
was not one of the ransom notes,
but search for the couple was
pressed anyway
The sedan carries Washington IL
cense plates, issued to the woman.
The car previously had been regis
tered in Illinois, Indiana and
Georgia.
Second Bill Passed
The woman, police said, always
was well-dresSed and apparently
well supplied with money. The man
sought in connection with several,
stock deals, is described as slight
ly pot-bellied." This is a descrip-
ton used frequently regarding one
of the kidnap suspects.
While this search was made far
from Tacoma, there we're other in
dications federal agents believe the
kidnapers have scattered. A sec
ond ransom bill was cashed in
Spokane.
Harold Nathan, chief assistant
to j. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
bureau of investigation, depart
ment of justice, was here today,
presumably to take charge of the
case. 1t was understood the con-
centration here of more than 80
agents would be ended, the agents
also scattering over the north
west in the hunt.
