OTHER CITIES
SET EXAMPLE
FOR POWER

In its proposed program Tor the
development and distribution OF
power from the All American canal,
the Imperial Irrigation District Is
following the example set by many
municipalities in the country which
have taken over the operation OF
power systems for the benefit OF
their citizens.
In a recent issue of a bulletin
dealing with this question of public
ownership of utilities it is stated
that at present there are nearly
$500 cities and towns in the United
States which operate their power
and light plants under public own
ership.
tt is interesting to note that these
municipal light and power plants
are widely distributed throughout
the country with several in every
state. The mid-western states ap-
pear to have the majority of these
plants. according to a map when
indicates the location of each plant.
A further interesting feature in
this connection is that the greater
number of these municipality owned
plants are situated in the smaller
cities but, on the other hand, some
of the largest communities in the
country are now operating their own
power development and distributing
systems.
Not only do these municipal power
plants serve residents OF these CIT
les but many of them have extended
lines to farmers in the adjoining
country and in this manner have
brought lower rates and better pow
er service to these rural homes, the
same lower rates and better service
that are enjoyed by consumers hV-
inc in the cities.

sided, however. For a time. Fuad ruled as a semi-constitutional mon- arch under a constitution which he granted because he was virtually compelled to do so by the strong Wafd, or Nationalist, party which came into being at the time that he ascended the throne.
 Resented British Control
 The latter part of his reign mainly because the Wafdists grew in strength and numbers almost daily-was little more than faint ly concealed dictatorship in his own palace.
 Although King Fuad made 1t his business to preserve good relations with Great Britain, he always re- sented bitterly Britain's ultimate controlling hand in Egyptian affairs. He never forgot the fact that Brit ain collaborated with the Wafdists to bring pressure to bear on him to surrender many of his cherished prerogatives in the constitution he granted in 1923.

tion tonight. Wolcott forgot to hold its convention last night but was ex- pected to hold it tonight if it is within the party rules. Danbury gave over most of its time to the question of who should be on the central com mittee for the coming two years rather than to the problem of whether or not to support delegates to the national convention for or against McNeil.
 On the basis of last nights cau- cuses and conventions National Committeeman McNeil today claimed that he was sure of at least 700 of the 1,008 delegates who will be seat ed in the state convention. If this is 50 the McNeil forces will dictate the makeup of the slate of 16 del- gats who will be elected to the na- tional convention. The selection of the national committeeman and na- tional committeewoman lies in the hands of the national delegates from the state. Opponents of McNeil were not exposing their plans today but discounted part of McNeil's claim to 700 votes.
 Other Little Scraps
 Fights were also the order of the evening up and down the Naugatuck valley. Torrington had a peaceful session with differences of the last city election apparently forgotten, for the time being at least. Senator Francis w. Hogan was elected to head the Torrington delegation. He is member of the new guard"
 Derby had stiff fight with the slate backed by the Young Demo- cratic club defeating the one pro- posed by the city organization head ed by Mayor George P. Sullivan. An- sonia and Seymour had quiet ses- SionS.
 Hartford's delegation will be pre- dominantly "old guard" The con- vention there was marred by one fight when the eighth ward delega- ton charged steamroller tactics. The forces of Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy controlled the convention. Needless to say, like Waterbury, the Hartford delegates will be anti McNeil.

result of alleged British domination pf the Egyptian government. Cairo and other cities still show signs of recent bloody riots in which troops and police battled nationalist dem- oonstrators and students, killing scores and wounding hundreds, dur ing anti-British outbreaks. This weighed heavily on the king Fuad, whose health had been bad since a serious illness in 1894.
 Never Fully RecOvc-c1
 King Fuad never fully recovered from that illness, which was aggra- vated by heart weakness resulting from an attack of pleurisy the pre- viotis January. His condition, how ever, did not become critical until last Friday when he suffered a hemorrhage. An Italian specialist, at the urgent request of the royal staff of physicians, flew to Cairo from Italy late Friday night and joined his staff of Egyptian, French, German and British physicians.
 Crowned King In 1917
 King Fuad was placed on the throne in 1917, upon the death of his brother, Hussein Kamil, he was proclaimed king in 1922 at the end of the British protectorate. He was married twice. His first wife, whom he married in 1896, was Princess Chivekiar. They were divorced in 1899. There was one daughter of this marriage. In 1919, Fuad mar ried Princess Nazli, daughter of the late Ardel Rehim Sabri Pasha, by whom he had one son, Prince Fa- rouk, and four daughters, the Prin- cesses Fewzieh, Faiza, Faika and Fathia. King Fuad was tall and handsome. He had something of the swagger of cavalry officer, &C., quired during his brief service in the Italian army. In later years, however, he was inclined to cor pulency. He was first class horse man and a brilliant conversation Rlist.
 Pr0tectOrate Ended
 On March IS, 1922. Great Britain abolished her protectorate over Egypt and Sultan Fuad was pro- claimed King Fuad of the king dom of Egypt. His full title was Fuad I, king of Egypt, sovereign of Nubia, and Sudan, Kordofan and Darfur. His reign was a dogged, drawn-out struggle against the in sistent forces of modern constitu- tional government. What he failed to realize more than anything else was that a constitutional monarch is barred in these times from taking up a partisan attitude.
 .The fight was not entirely one

PRESIDENT BACK
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, April 28 - (U.P0 - President Roosevelt returned to the capital today after a trip during which he addressed the National Democratic Club in New York City and made a brief visit to the sum- mer White House at Hyde Park, N. Y.
 MT. Roosevelt was absent from the capital only little more than 48 hours.
 He first had planned to stay sev- eral days at Hyde Park but changed his plaNas with. the tax bill nearing a final decision in the house and rapidly approaching the open con- mittee hearing stage in the senate.
 It was believed congressional lead- CTS urged that he stand by in view of likely disputes over many phases of the complex bill.
 The presidents New York trip was his second of the week. He pre- viously journeyed to Fall River, Mas, to attend funeral services for his secretary and close friend Louis McHenry Howe.

 But" she said seriously, I've never received anything from a king or queen or even a real prin- cess. They tell me, though, that Princess Elizabeth likes my pictures a lot and I'm glad. Maybe she'll write to me sometime"
 She Likes Everything
 I asked her if she liked working in pictures. T like everything as 1t is right now" she said with 8 matureness beyond her age, but l want to be 8 director when I get old enough. I think I'll want to direct my own pictures. Still, there arc 50 many things to do.

She picks up the lines of others playing with her, they said, and frequently spohs a shot where an actor or actress misses a word but could ad lib and get by. She interrupts by waving her hands and shaking her head.
 Rather Dance Than Act
 '1'd rather dance than act" Shir- ley said, as she explained she'd just learned some new tap steps from Bill Robinson, but I'd almost rather ride my bicycle than dance" Her bicycle was a birthday present. Shirley said she missed doing many things that other children do. She can't go to the seashore or to pub lie school like other people do. She can't even go to Sunday school with children of her gae because her mere appearance causes commo- tion no matter where she goes.

Sure I do," she answered. T like it even if I have done songs about not liking 1t and have made ugly faces while eating it.

Joseph B. Ely, anti-New Dealer, friend of Alfred E. Smith and Amer ican Liberty League member, aban- doned his fight for an unpledged democratic delegation to the na- tional convention after the Roose- welt victory in New Hampshire. Democrats will name eight dele- gates-at-large and two delegates from the IS congressional districts. Massachusetts will have 34 votes at the national convention at Phil- adelphia, with delegates-at-large having half vote each.
 At Large Slate
 U. s. Senators David I. Walsh and Marcus A. Coolidge; Governor James M. Curley; Congressman William I. Granfleld; Mrs. Grace Hartley Howe. widow of the presi- dents chief secretary; Margaret M.

James Roose- welt, eldest son of the president, is running for delegate from the ninth district. Republicans will have B votes at the national convention. Four delegates-at-large and two from IA congressional districts and one from one will be elected.
 Charles Francis Adams, former secretary of the navy, George F.. Booth, Worcester publisher, and Congressmen Allen T. Treadway and Joseph w. Martin compose the u1- opposed "big four" slate for repub- lican delegates-at-large.
 G. o. P. Split Up Some
 All republican candidates are nominally unpledged, but several have expressed preference for Gov ernor Ali M. Landon of Kansas. Both democrats and republicans also will elect delegates to their respec- tive state conventions, names of a total of 18,73O candidates appearing on the ballots. Apparently antici- patory of a heavy vote, 2,108,70O ballots have been distributed. Sec retary of State Frederic W. Cook announced he had sent out 94O,60O democratic and 1,168, 100 republican ballots, increases of 10,700 and 39, 300, respectively, over the totals distributed in the state election two years ago.
 Primaries In Pennsylvania
 Philadelphia, April 28 - (UP) - President Roosevelt and Colonel Henry Breckenridge of New York opposed one another today in the democratic presidential preference balloting, while Senator William E. Borah was unopposed on the re- publican ticket. The preference vote was of chief interest in the election of Pennsylvania's delega- tions to the republican and demo- cratic national conventions.
 Breckenridge made no campaign and his vote was expected to be neg Eligible. Most interest was on the number of preference ballots that will be cast for the president. Ap- proximately 100000 Pennsylva- nians registered as democrats for today's voting. Party leaders ex- pected MT. Roosevelt to poll be- tween 100000 and 100000 votes.
 Borah Is Unopposed
 Vote for Senator Borah will be strictly complimentary. He had no opposition in the republican pref erence primary, and, therefore, the vote for him will not make him the popular choice. Most Tepub- lican candidates for delegateships were pledged to no candidate.
 The republicans will have 75 votes at the Cleveland convention;
