THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1926 “FOLLY” MAY HELP FARMERS Huge Reclamation Project Is Cause of Leiter Lawsuit By NEA Service Sheridan, Wyo., Dec. 16.—Joe Lei- ter, millionaire Chicago soprtsman who tried to corner the world's wheat market some 30 ago, hus been guilty of many pilies,” if his sis- ter, the Countess of Suffolk, can be believed. t But what the countess, in her suit how pending in Chicago to remove him from contro) of the huge Leiter estate, has characterized as his great- est “folly” farmers on atid A ba for ming land hail a: ir ch Prosperity after tee barren years A few years ago, Leiter, with ma- chinery brought from the construc- tion work on the Panama canal, dug the Leiter ditch to irrigate a few thousand of the vast acres in northern Wyoming. Now he pro- poses to spend $250,000 to $900,000 to turn the rest of the waters of the mysterious Lake De Smet to the henefit of hundreds of smaller land- owners near the Leiter estate. Her brother has wasted millions, the Countess of Suffolk told the Chi- cago court. She brought up the old story of how he had tried to corner the wheat market, and said her fa- ther, Levi 8. Leiter, founder of the Leither estate, had been forced to ge $9,000,000 to rescue his son. jut she and her lawyers stressed most his “crasy adventure” in Wyoming. Fatile, Say Opponents Eastern atto: Fgued the use- lessness of Le’ reclamation project—and brought figures of large losses to prove their arguments. Leiter brought half a hundred farm- er friends from Wyoming to tell of | h: their dreams—and his—which would reach fruition only with completion of the Lake De Smet project. The contest for the control.of the Leiter millions will be resumed. But Leiter is already Calas the com- pletion of his work. He recently had a conference here with U. S. Senator John B. Kendrick of Wyo- ming and others interested in rec- lamation problems,’ and all agreed that his project was feasible and Dangerous Section ‘of Army Flight Is Along Coast of S. A. San Antonio, Dec. 16—()—De- spite the fact that the Army's Pan. American flight, which is planned to go under way here December 20, will cross,mountain chains four times in its circuit of the nations south of the Rio Grande, the most dangerous section of the flight :is the long stretch of the western coast of South America where the mountains drop precipitously into the sea, e On this section of the trip the flyers expect to meet the most troublesome winds of th whole jour- coast In many places is devoid of any level spots that might offer a landing. Because of the winds and the steep shores the breakers are apt to be high and the surf heavy. Should any of the flying boats be forced down under such conditions the flyers would be in grave danger, The high breakers are apt to wet the spark plugs, or other~pértions of the ignition system, cutung oc: vue engine and leaving the ship without any means of holding her course. In such a case the plane might be cap- sized, broken up on the rocks or swept far out to sea before hélp could arrive, The mountains will offer little“dif- ficulty in the opinion of the flyers.
