followed an apoplectic stroke.
The end came when Mulholland
was no longer able to take suffici-

He had been unable to recognize his
family for weeks, but an iron con-
stitution STAYED off death.
On the powerful shoulders of the
fighting Irish engineer" rested the
civic destiny of Los Angeles during
the past half-century.
The work to which he gave his
life kept flowing the ever increas-
ing arteries of water which enabled
small town to grow to great
metropolis.
Bill Mulholland was rough. He
was tough. But we loved him. He
was a man whom everybody loved, -
said H. A. Van Dorman, general
manager of the Los Angeles Bureau
of Water Works and Supply, today,
voicing the sentiment of all his col
leagues.
Born in Belfast, Ireland, Septem-
ber II, 1855, Mulholland shipped to
America in his teens. He came tc

of 10000 population, in 1878.

courtroom filled with a hostile au-

Fear That Mussolini May Have

LONDON, July 22.-The British
cabinet met in special session to-
day to consider the Ethiopian sit
uation and was understood to have
expressed grave concern over Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini's ambitions
in Africa.
A usually trustworthy source re-
vealed that high government Off
cials were apprehensive lest Mus
solini's colonial aspirations in Af-
RIGA extend beyond Ethiopia and
even lead to direct conflict with
the interests of the British Empire
1t was understood the misgivings
prompted Sir Samuel Hoare, for
eign secretary, to urge his cabinet
colleagues to work for action by
the League of Nations to localize
the ItalianE Ethiopian dispute.
1t was reported that other men,
bers of the cabinet, including An
thony Eden, secretary without
portfolio for league affairs, dis
sented, arguing that the use of
the league to isolate the East Af-
rican affair would undermine the
leagues authority. 1t would sound
the doom of collective European
action through the league, they de-
clared, and amount to reputation
of Hoare's recent proclamation to
the house of commons on the in
divisability of peace"
Cabinet members apparently
we're taking a serious view of the
Italian Ethiopian deadlock, not
knowing which way to turn in the
face of seemingly insuperable diff
ficultieS.

Says Natives OF

Not Satisfies d

WASHINGTON, July %. U.P) -
The people of the Virgin Islands
were better off under Danish rule
than American, Paul Yates, for
mer administrative assistant in the
islands, told a senate investigating
committee today.
The United States bought the
tiny West Indian islands from Den
mark as protective move during
the World war.
Yates was the first witness at
resumption of the senate hearings
which developed such dissension
that President Roosevelt called
Harold L. Ickes, secretary of in
terror, and Sen. Millard Tydings
Dem), Maryland commi 1T e c
chairman, to the White House to
smooth matters over.
IckeS had been expected to tes-
tify today, but Tydings announced
he would not do so.
Yates charges against Gov. Paul
M. Pearson led to the senate in
quiry. Tydings has supported de-
mands for Pearson's resignation.
Ickes has defended the Hoover ap-
pointee.
Yates bitterly criticized Ameri-
can administration of the islands.
Were the people more satisfied
under Danish rule?" Tydings asked.
''I think So" Yates replied.
do the common people say
that?"
mot in so many words, but the
records show there was not so much
agitation against the Danish gov
ernment. Commerce prospered un-
der Danish rule more than 1t has
under the administration of the
United States. The Danish govern
ment did not try to make the peo-
pie over into Danes as much as we
have tried to make them Ameri-
cans" Yates said.

Some Presidents have acted upon
the theory that they were author

they had no authority beyond that

State College Gets
Largest Forest Tract

An 84,0OO-acre tract of wood
land in Jones and Onslow Counties
has been acquired by the State Col
lege department of forestry to be
used by the students in connection
with their class work.
During the school year the fores-
try classes will do periodic work on
this property, and in summer a full
six-weeks course will be offered,
according to J.. V. Hoffman, dir
ector of the forestry department.
The students will make special
studies of the growth and develop
ment of trees and will gain first
hand experience in the care and
management of forests.
The property will also be used as
a demonstration to show the public
how forest lands should be managed
and what improvements a be
made through proper management.
Timber will be cut from the area
to demonstrate approved methods
of timber harvesting.
The cut timber will be sold and
payments on the property will be
made from the revenue brought in
from such sales, Hoffman stated.
The title to the land, however, will
be held by a non-profit corporation
for the sole use of the forestry
department at State College.
The State S cooperating with
the college in providing fire protec-
ton for the timber tract. A
number of fire wardens have beer
appointed to check any fire. which
may break out. They also serve
as game wardens to prevent unlaw-
full hunting or abuse of the game
on the tract.
A CCC camp is now on the pro.
perty, and the boys are construct.
Ing roads, building fire towers, ane
otherwise improving the area. An.
other CCC camp will be located
there on October 1, Hoffman said.
