President Denies
Fund to Construct
|Umatina Dam
Roosevelt Informs Nc
Nary Northwest Has
Share Federal Funds
Already 3

Cash for the beginning OF, con-
struction of the Umatilla Dam has
been denied by president Roose-
welt. This information was received
this morning from the staff CORES
pondents Of the Portland dailies.
The Oregonian prints the follow
ing from its Washington correspond
ent John w. Kelly: In a commune
cation to Senator Charles McNary,
President Roosevelt states that he
cannot approve OF alocating funds
to initiate the proposed dam at
Umatilla. The President with
held approval particularly in view
Of the fact that more than $23 ,000,-
900 of the $2oo.0OO,000 authorized
for federal projects in the public
works appropriation act has already
been allotted to projects in the Pa
cific Northwest.
Prior to adjournment of con-
gress the president intimated that
he was deeply interested in the pro-
posed Umatilla dam and gave Rep
resentative Walter M. Pierce to UNI
derstand that he would earmark
funds for that project IL he could do
so legally.
McNary Submits Brief
Senator McNary then prepared
and submitted a brief citing the au-
thority under which the president
could make an allotment. Senator
McNary had been confident that
the funds would be available To
start work this summer.
Shortly before adjournment the
army engineers submitted a report
recommending development of the
Columbia and Snake rivers between
Umatilla and Lewiston, suggesting
that the initial step be a navigation
dam at Umatilla, costing approxi-
mately $23,000.000.
Report Sent TO Ross
This report was sent to j.. ID.
Ross, Bonneville administrator, by
the president for Ross comment, as
II is part of the Columbia Basin de-
velopment.
Continuing, the president wrote
that under the emergency relief
appropriation act and the public
works appropriation mo unauthor-
lied p reject shall be undertaken
or prosecuted, unless there. shall
have been allocated and irrevocably
set aside federal funds sufficient for
its completion. The estimated cost

was just about to start, with work.
men and materials arriving on the
grounds. This week the picture looks
dark again. Local hackers of the
project, however, have not given up
hope. Some way to secure the
money to start the construction will
be found, it Is thought, even Ii It
is impossible to secure the funds
from the WPA.

equally well under your spring

practical and so well-designed.

The simple sash belt, tied in the
front, is an added touch of charm.
The new printed silks make up
beautifully in this design, either
the small-figured ones, or those
with large splashy motifs. Sash
belt and small buttons in front
should match background or pick
up predominating color in the
print.
The complete and detailed sew

simplifies the making so that you
will have it ready to put on in no
time.
Pattern S176 is designed for

Atty. Frank Hogan Aids Prosecution
 Of Alleged NY. Policy RacketeerS
Native of This City on Prosecutor Thomas E.
 Dewey's Staff

Local interest in the trial of James J. Hines, New York Tammany lead- CT, charged with protecting the policy rackets in affiliation with the late Dutch" Schultz, mounted steadily today as the important role taken in the prosecution by a na- tive of this city became known.
 Attorney Frank s. Hogan, son of Mir. and Mrs. Michael r. Hogan, of 173 Pearl street, as an assistant to District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey, is aiding him in the present spec tacular proceedings just as he has assisted him since he was named to the Dewey staff when the latter was appointed special rackets prosecu- tor.
 Attorney Hogan's participation in the investigation preliminary to the trial of Hines was spread across the supreme court record yesterday when witness, Julius Williams, ne- gro election captain for Tammany leader Hines, charged him with duress and threats in obtaining a statement pertaining to his relations with Hines.
 Long Time On Stand
 Williams spent two and one half hours on the stand, although Dis trict Attorney Dewey had expected him to be but fifteen minute" talker. Following the hearing he was returned to the Tombs as a ma terial witness and his bond raised from $500 to $10,000 by Justice Fer dinand Pecora who Is presiding at the trial.
 Williams had been expected to testify that he had been given a job by Hines in 1882 had been sent to racket headquarters and placed on the payroll, and had little or no work to do. This was supposed to have been just prior to the 1882 election. Williams is alleged to have signed statement supporting these facts.
 On the stand yesterday, however, he denied them fiatly, and charged that the Statement was obtained by Attorney Hogan and Assistant Dis trict Attorney Sol Gelb, by intimi- dation. He claimed that the words were put in his mouth by Hogan and Gelb, supported by George Weinberg, racket leader who has turned states evidence. Williams claims he cannot read, but says he can write when someone tells him the letters to put down.
 Denies Statements
 Williams also created a sensation when he denied that he had made
