Keene, president of the called the convention to ‘or: The morning program was de- voted to flood control and water con- servation, with George H. McMahon, assistant state engineer, in charge. firetkers included J. N. Roherty, State Highway. Commission; E. V. Willard, Commissioner, Minnesota Drainage Commission; Prof. E. F. Chandler, University of North Da- a, and Dr. Keene. Mr. Roherty,,in his address, out- Jined to the engineers the plan of ater conservation, reclamation and flood control through utilization of the waters of the Missouri. Mr. Ko- herty said in part: “Briefly stated, tks proposition is just this. The Missouri River is the most reliable source of water of any considerable size in North Dakota. The mountain snows are a sure and constant source of water. The construction of reservojrs in Montana for power and irrigation purposes serve to diminish the spring floods and to increase the summer flow. reservoirs have for their primary. purposes they are also of value to North Dakota in equalizing the flow of the river. The Missouri River on the big bend near Garrison at low water stage is almost 200 feet higher than the railroad tracks at Velva and almost 270 feet higher than Devils Lake. “Between the Mouse River Valley and the, valley of the Missouri is the ridge called the Plateau du Coteau du Missouri. It is only about 40 miles, in an air line, from the Missouri River near Garrison to Velva. By going up the valley of Spring Creck on the Miss- ouri side and fo!lowing up some of the valleys of the Mouse River Bas-: in we know that somewhere in that locality we will find a comparatively narrow dividing ridge. If a tunnel were constructed through this ridge the waters of the Missouri could be brought out on the other side of the ridge at an elevation considerably higher than the city of Velva. Average Fall “The average fall of the Missouri River through Sorth Dakota is Jess than nine inches per mile. Now, if we assume a fall of three feet per mile in, the tunnel, we know that the water in the tunnel. would have a much higher velocity than it has/ in the river. This would prevent! the deposition in the tunnel of any silt the river water might be earry- ing. “We estimate the length of the tunnel at from 18 to 26 miles but for; this case let us assume that it will be 26 miles lonr. There is 200 feet difference between the water levels of the two rivers, and even though we lose 75 feet in coming through this tunnel, we shall still come out on the north side of the Coteau at an elevation of 125 feet above Velva. Once on the other side of the ridge we feel that the problem would be comparatively simple. Former Survey “About twelve years ago the State Engineer's Office made a survey to determine the feasibility of diyert- ing the waters of the Mouse River into Devils Lake. So far as the en- gineering features were concerned,| the project s found to be feasible but it was abandoned because the available water supply was consider- ed insufficient and because, since about 90 percent of the drainage ‘area of the Mouse River belongs to Canada, the fatter country would have a prior claim to its. waters, should she desire to make use of them. “At that time it-was planned to build a diversion dan near the mouth of Wintering Creek and to raise the water to a level nearly up to the city of 'Velva. .By using a very light fall in the ditches ,it/ could then be diverted into Devils Lake. As I started a few moments ago, the proposed tunnel will cerry the waters of the- Missouri to the north side of the Coteau at an eleva. tion over 100 feet higher than Velva, which was to have been the height of the Wintering Creek Dam, It is clear that, with this difference in ele- vation, the problem of diverting the water into (Devils Lake becomes much simpler. Due. to the greater ‘fall, the same amount of water can be carried by smaller dite! “As you will notice, it is difficult to outline (on the map) in places, just what territory drains into the James River and what drains into the Sheyenne River. You will also ‘note a great number of small lakes. They were lakes at one time but are now (Continueg on page 6): fy, Se Aside from the values these’ WHOSE tht SHE OR THEY? BY LEON M.

Lowe, who took no action at the time in the matter. The first sentence had been suspended by Judge Lowe upon cer- tain representations made at the time of~ imposition of punishment. The boy told the court that: he had solicited the money to be used for spending purposes at Christmas time. Judge Lowe asked Juvenile Commis- sioner C. B.

March 13.—(By the A. P.)—A special grand jury will begin an investigation today into the disappearance of Lewis Barker, ne- gro, last October. Five men, includ- ing Thomas H. Higginbotham, former alleged “whippfng boss” of the Put- nam Lumber Company, and a negro, | are being held under suspicion connection with the case, Only a few bones, several pennies anda pair of shoes, found recently | near the lumber company plant, re- | main of what is believed to have been the body of the negro, and those will form the basis on which the investi- gation will be founded. Statesments alleged to haye been made by Charley Hart, the negro held, before the regular grand jury which indicted him in connecti' with the case, two weeks ago, thus far, it is said, form the major con- necting links between the bones and the negro who disappeared. int AWAIT WORD ; Langdon, N.

Hitting the high spots for the first | time since the trial began, attorneys in the Teapot Dome lease annulment [case yesterday afternoon brought out the “pivotal points” in the liti- .gation and then wound up the case in such a tangle of objections, tech- nicalities and contentions that Judge Kennedy abruptly adjourned the court in the middle of the afternoon < Almost unanimous sentiment has in order to give government lawyers |heen expfessed in the State Legis-| time to get a fresh start, lature in favor of a constitutional! ‘The question of admitting bank amendment to restore his officchold-| account. records of Albert B.

The objection took government counsel by surprise when Mr. Lacey declared he could quote { sufficient legal authority to show | Conway's testimony was incompetent. When Owen J. Roberts of govern- ment counsel told the court he was not yet prepared to cite his authori- ty for so conducting the examination of Conway, Judge Kennedy ordered jan adjournment until tomorrow to jallow the government to prepare its argument sustaining the calling of the Denver witness, Mr, Roberts had told the court earlier in the day that he was ques- tioning Conway and employes of oth- er banks where Fall’s transactions | were recorded that he was attempt- | ing merely to identify the process of | routine through which liberty bonds |and coupons passed and that he |would later cite his authority for isuch.

This testimony was taken subject to being stricken on the objection of defense counsel. Judge Kennedy has the objection un- der advisement. Evidence was tak- en in this way in an attempt to trace from Fall back to Sinclair the Liber- iy. bonds involved, which are said to total approximately $90,000. | Before the case proceeds further | the court will await the argument of government counsel on its authority for proceeding with testimony of bank officials and employes and the competency of bank officials to testi- fy regarding bank records made by other employes, THREE ELECTRIC COMPANIES SOLD The state railroad commission to- day approved applications for thi purchase of J.

Barnes, President, and Eugene B. Barnes, Treasurer, of the Interstate Securities Company, Minneapolis, in- dicted by the grand jury on a charge of grand larceny, pleaded hot guilty before District Judge Frank M. Nye today and their trial March 19, They asked for separate trials. They were released on bond of $3,000 each. The indictment is based on a com- plaint signed by Mrs. Katherine Gillick of Minneapolis, who charged that the Company collected $1,600 on a mortgage on North Dakota proper- ty for her and then failed to turn the money over to her. The defendants reserved the right to change their plea or enter a de- was set for murrer to the indictment before Wednesday. It is alleged in the indictment} that a mortgage held by Mrs. Gil-| lick on Billings County, N. D. prop- erty was satisfied March 14, 1924 by payment through the Bank of North Dakota and the Midland Na- tional Bank of Minneapolis, that the Securities Company officials with- drew the money and placed it to their own account and did not either inform Mrs. Gillick of the satisfac- tion on the mortgage nor pay the money over to her. + Mrs. Gillick is said to charge that the two men continued to tell her in May, 1924 that it was difficult to collect the money because of the hard times in North Dakota, but that they would try to obtain it for her. The securities company is now in receivership and the two officials are already facing charges of viola- tion of the state blue sky Inws.

The dismissal was without pre- judice, and may be brought again. No explanation accompanied the ac- tion, which followed cross-examina- tion of A. Johannsen, audit director of the Bank of North Dakota. Burke county alleged that a draft received from the Bank of North Dakota on the First State Bank of Bowbells was deposited in 1921 in the latter bank, which closed, and the Bank of North Dakota was al- leged to be liable. The Bank denied liability, and alleged that the coun- ty had deposited other sums of mon- ey in the bank before it closed. The case was expected to require three days for trial.

Warren to be Attorney General, was ordered today by the Senate Ju- diciary Committee. The vote was nine to seven. Twice previously the nomination had commanded a majority in the same committee. All of the Democrats and Senators Borah of Idaho and \Norris of Ne- jbraska, both Republicans, voted to- day against a favorable report, The vote of Senator Borah was cast by proxy, the Idaho Senator being at that time at the White House where he had been summoned by President | Coolidge. | Despite the President’s decision ;to call some of the Republican op- ponents of confirmation into con- ference and make a personal appeal |to them, many of the party regulars saw little hope of favorable action on the nomination which once has been rejected, Senator Borah, told Mr. Coolidge frankly he saw no chance of con- \firmation. The committee vote today was as follows: For a favorable report: Cum- ;mins, Iowa; Ernst, Kentucky; Spen- cer, Missouri; Means, Colorado; Harreld, Oklahoma; Deneen, Illinois, a property owner and/and Gillett, Massachusetts, all Re- realizes that immediate steps must publicans. Against a favorable report: Borah, Idaho; Norris, Nebraska, Republi- Reed, Missouri; Ashurst, Arizon: Walsh, Montana; Caraway, Arkansas; King, Utah; and Neely, West Virginia; Democrats. Senator Overman previously had voted for confirmation both in the committee and in the Senate. The constitutional right of the or to resubmit the nomina- tion was questioned by Senators Reed and Walsh and most of the committee session, lasting an hour iets half, was devoted to argu- ments on that point. The question was not brought to vote as Senators wanted additional time to consider it. Chairman Cum- mins took the position that the President was fully within his rights. With an adverse report from the committee, opponents will hold a parliamentary whip hand during the fight on the floor. A.
