FIVE DEAD IN
ISLAND STORM

HONOLULU, T. H., Feb. %. UR)--
Gov. Poindexter today called out
national guardsmen to search for
the bodies of victims of one of the
most severe storms in Honolulu's
history.
The guardsmen joined rescue
forces which already had recovered
five bodies in the flooded areas of
the istnd of Oahu, on which Hon
olulu is the largest settlement.
The downtown Y. M. c. A. build
ing was converted into a refugee
camp to house scores of families dri-
ven from their homes by the floods
which followed last nights rain and
hail storm.
1t was feared the death toll would
be much larger than five. Much of
the island is isolated from the capi-
tai by the failure of the communi-
cations system.
Hail stones which measured two
inches in diameter cut telegraph and
telephone wires. Rain which at one
time reached rate of 3.6 inches an
hour made raging torrents of usually
peaceful streams and flooded low
lying areas in the city and surround
ing territory.
Plantations were damaged heavily
by the storm, one of the worst with
IN the emmory of old-time residents.
Shipping circles feared for the
safety of a number of small boats
known to have been off the coast
when the sudden storm struck in
a deluge of rain.s

ANSWER FILED
BY ARIZONA IN
FEDERAL CASE

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. W.p) -
Arizona, through its attorney gen.
eral, John L. Sullivan, today filed
with the supreme court its answer
to the complaint of the government
in the original suit to restrain the
state authorities from interfering
with the construction of Parker
dam, part of the Boulder dam pro-
ject.
Arizona is under a temporary re-
straining order against interfer-
ence with the project. The case
will be argued Monday.
The answer challenged major
claims of the governments COM
plant and the right to construct
the dam to improve navigation or
for any other federal purposes.
The answer contended that:
Instead of helping navigation in
the Colorado river the dam will
prove barrier.
The dam was not conceived
either for this purpose or for ir-
rigation or reclamation of lands in
the Colorado river Indian reserva-
ton or for control Of floods by re-
gulating the discharge OF the
Boulder Canyon dam.
The project was begun to aid
unemployment through the pub
lie works program but was plan
ned before the passage Of the PWA
legislation.

HeDes Pleased
With Outlook
At Salt Lake

1--WE are very pleased to see the
signatory states standing together
on the proposal that they must be
protected against any contract by
any non-signatory state which
would be detrimental to the rights
and privileges to which they are
entitled under the Boulder Dam
Act and the Colorado River Com
pact" Evan T. Hewes, chairman Of
the local irrigation district board
of directors stated this morning.
Rose returned from the meeting
of river basin states held in Salt
Lake City early this week.
Hewes added tnat a committee
representing all the states were still
in Salt Lake to draft a contract
subject to all the rights and privi-
leges of the compact. 1t is the
hope of all basin states that this
contract might be acceptable to
Arizona, Hewes said further.
This conference was held to dis
cuss the contract proposed by Ari-
IONA for the distribution of storage
water and power from Boulder
Dam. A former meeting had been
held in Phoenix early in January.

Affair
LABOR REBELLION FACED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. W.D-
Federal court rulings threatened the
legal foundations of half a dozen
aspects of President Roosevelt IS
"new deal" today.
Newest court attacks the Weir
ton steel decision in Wilmington,
Del, and the Kentucky coal case
in Louisville-cut to the heart Of
constitutional principles on which
the Roosevelt administration has
built Its recovery program.
"New deal' supporters chal-
lenged the validity of these court
decisions that through general ap-
plication apparently would nullify
the efforts of congress, through the
MIRA and other agencies, to regulate
the vast bulk of American business.
They looked to the supreme court
for eventual victory, confident that
its "liberal' majority-the major
ity which many believed stretched
the constitution point to side with
the government in the gold cases
would uphold the challenged aspects
of the recovery laws.
Despite this confidence, it ap-
peared the adverse decisions would

MEXICO HOLDS
REAGAN : BODY
Arizona Man Reported Slain In
Cold Blood By Man With
Whom He Had Quarreled

DOUGLAS, AriZ., Feb. %. W.P)-
James Reagan, prominent Arizona
cattleman, was shot and killed last
Monday when he called at the
ranch home of Gordy Boyd, New
Mexico rancher, living near Jenos,
Chihuahua, Mexico, to borrow some
gasoline for his automobile, it was
reported today by party Of friends
who returned from the desolate
Chihuahua country.
The party, including G. K. Nash,
son-in-law of the slain man, and
William A. Thompson, associated
with Reagan in the cattle business,
was not successful in obtaining
permission to remove the American
cattle buyers body. Mexican au-
thorities insisted upon retaining
the body as evidence and it ap-
peared doubtful whether they
would ever allow the body to be
brought back here for burial.
Reagan travelling alone, went in
to the interior of Mexico to pur-
chase 100 head of cattle last Mon
day. He was driving a new auto
mobile which ran out of gasoline
near the ranch home of Boyd, in
one of the most remote sections of
the Sierra Madres mountains. He
called at the Boyd home for fuel.
Boyd answered the door, accord

The two men are reported to
have had considerable trouble over

However, they had been doing bus

friends thought the feud was end
