Chicago Woman
Gets Is Years
For Staying
KILLED EX-LOVER AFTER HE
MARRIED ANOTHER

Chicago, IQ.-Smilingly, Stella
Rouse, convicted slayer Of her
sweetheart, waved her hand and
walked away from the courtroom
after hearing a jury pronounce her
guilty and fix her punishment at
Is years in prison for the murder
of Hoy Lee. The verdict was
reached late Thursday evening,
Dec. 10, in Judge Robert j.
DUNES criminal court.
Attorney DeFrantz H. Williams,
counsel for the Lee family, as
sisted the prosecution.
The slender West Side woman,
grown pale and worn from the or
deal of court hearing and investi-
cations, was indicted for murder
in connection with the death Of
Hoy Lee, her sweetheart, whom
she is accused of killing after he
Tilted her and married another
woman. Hoy, who lived at LAB
North Oakley avenue, was slain
last July at 410 East 48th Place.
Lee had remained away from the
woman for several weeks and then
informed her he had been married
upon his return on the night he met
his death. Public Defender John
Branion's plea was self-defense
for Mrs. Rouse. He commended the
woman stabbed Lee with a letter
opener after the young man had at
tackled and beaten her badly.
Vehement quarreling over admis-
sion of testimony by Lester Brown,
county Jail record clerk, into the
evidence, lent spice to the pr(eees-
ings Thursday. Branion called
Brown to testify as to the physical
condition of Mrs. Rouse when she
was brought to the Jail. He want
ed to prove, it was said, that the
records would show she bore bruis-
es and scars on her body when she
was taken in.
So heated were objections voiced
by Assistant States Attorneys
Sherwin and Korshak to Browns
testifying or admission of a rec
ord card into the evidence that
Branion abruptly asked for a con-
tinuance in the case to allow time
to subpoena the county Jail ply
stefan into court.
During all these frequent bick-
erings between counsels, the jury
was kept on the continual go, being
sent out of the court several times.
Mrs. Beck fiared up when Bran
ion, evidently seeking to establish
the fact that the house was a dis
orderly one where disturbances
frequently occurred, asked her if
she were lawfully married to Beck.
The woman snarled at him, go
look it up!" She admitted she didn't
like testimony by defense witness
es which intimated that her home
was disorderly.

Next Great War to Flare
In 1887, Authority Says

PARIS, Feb. 10. UP)-Genevieve
Tabouis, political expert of the
newspaper Oueyre, gave full details
Of the next great war today.
1t is to start in the middle of 1887,
if not before, and will involve Ger
many. Japan, Russia, the Neither
lands. Belgium. France, Czechoslo-
vakia and Roumania at first. and
presumably other nations later.
Expressing the belief. which she
said she shared with great soldiers
of all countries, that the German
general staff had decided on de-
finitive plan of action, Nine. Tabouis
predicted in substance:
Germany will attack the Neither
lands and Czechoslovakia simultan-
eously without warning. Japan at
the same time will attack Russia.
Three German columns are to
enter Holland. The first is to cross
the Meus and attack the Albert
canal. with Calais as its objective.
The second Is to advance on both
banks OF the Rhine to strike at the

IMPROVEMENT
OF HIGHWAY SO
GAINS FAVOR

FL Centre Chamber of Commerce
has directed a letter to the board
of supervisors, urging that plans be
made for opening some sort OF road
through Iris Pass. north of INLAND
in the direction of Desert Center as
a means of initiating work on the
missing gap on Highway U. S. 90,
of the -Four States Highway.
The distance from INLAND to
Desert Ccnter now unconstructed is
about IS miles with Is miles in I'm
perial county. 1t was pointed out
by the chamber of commerce that if
the route through Imperial Valley
were constructed through Iris Pass
and to the Riverside county line,
there are number of trails, includ.
ing a branch of the old Butterfield
Stage Trail in Riverside county
which would permit travel through
to Desert Center without any i'm
mediate construction.
Chamber directors aVerred that
In this way traffic might commence
to flow over the route thereby DEM
Cnstrating the need for construction.
1t is the way. directors stated. that
many roads are begun and this i'm
portant link in the -Four States
Highway should be bridged at as
early date as possible
The board of supervisors were in
formed by the chamber of COM
merce that the designation U. S. 90
has been approved by the U. S. Bu-
reau of Public Roads from Glendale.
Nevada to Las Vegas and over
Boulder Dam to Kingman, Arizona !;
and it is, therefore, more impera.
tive than ever before that some work
be done on the INLAND to Desert
Center sector to open this route at
least for passage of engineers who
might wish to examine and survey
the route with a view toward ulti-
mate construction of this gap.

perial Irrigation District. according
to a statement Of Lester S. Ready,
consulting engineer, found in his re-
port on this program filed with the
state railroad commission.
In this connection Ready offers
comparison between the power now
supplied these two valleys by the
Southern Sierras Power company
and that which can be expected
fro mthe district program when the
full service is available under AL
American canal development plans.
The electric energy now supplied
by the private power company to
the territory comprising Imperial
and CoacheIa valleys and to terri
tory in Arizona and Mexico, totals
approximately 68000,000 kiloWatt
hours a year, the report points out.
1t is then shown that the load of
power for these areas will necessar-
lily grow within the next few years
owing TO the sterilization Of the wat
er supply in the two valleys and
the insurance against damage from
floods given through Boulder Dam
This will be rapidly enlarged
through the extension of rural cleo
trification together with the rate re-
auctions which are to be expected
under the district development plan
THE initial development of the
Imperial Irrigation District includ-
ing Pilot Knob plant, plant No. 3
and the Diesel plant, will be ade-
quate to supply load of 124.O00.-
600 kilowatt hours per annum at so
per cent annual load factor for gen.
eral utility, light and power service:
also to serve a combined district
pumping and general utility load of
200000,000 kilowatt hours per an
