No Definite Promise Held Out by Secretary Fall or Other Offi- cials of Government Party butPromise of Full Co- operation With State Is Made at Meeting Better understanding of the aims of the two sides to the Casper irrigation project was the outgrowth of the meeting this morning between officials of the irfterior department and reclamation service with officials of the Casper Chamber of Cominerce. The government officials who attended the conference were Secretary A. B. Fall, Ar- thur P. Davis, director of the United States reclamation service; Frank E. Weymouth, chief engineer of the United States reclamation service, and E. E. Roddis, district counsel of the ‘United States reclamation service. The government party which Is traveling in a special private car ar- rived here last night and will leave this afternoon for Mitchell and Scotts- bluff, Neb., where they will inspect projects now in operation. Prior to the departure of the party this afternoon, Mr. Roddis held a con- renca. with city officials and rep- resentatives of the refining companies here relative to water supply for ctiy and refinery purposes that is needed from the Platte river. As @ result of this latter mecting 1‘ {s understood that Mr. Roddis has taken under advisement the question of providing enough water to meet the needs of Casper and its industrial in- stitutions as a permanent plan to re- place the temporary reliefywhich was granted last spring when 100 second feet of Water was apportioned to th’s district. . 3 The conference which was held this morning emphasized the mutual un- derstanding and co-operation between the state of Wyoming and the recla- mation service. ‘The result obtained was satisfactory to both the officials of the reclamation department and to the many interested parties who attended the meeting. It was reported that the service en- gineers who ure now checking up the lines run by the state engineer's office last year on the project will make a full statemcutof thelr findings as Son as they have completed checking the project. After their report_is sub. mitted the feasibility of the Casper project will be determined ‘by the gov- ernment officials. Earle D. Holmes, chairman of the Casper Chamber of Commerce Irriga- tion committee led the discussion of the project for the local Interests. He outlined the work and plans up to the present time. “ G. R. Hagens, emphasized that the money which the government derived from its percentage of oil royalties which goes to the funds of tho recla- mation service, in this state should be spent in developing the Casper project. “Natrona county is the source of a great deal of the federal royalty from this source,” he said, and the project should receive consideration here if for no other reasons.” W. ©. Wilson briefly outlined that many states nominally known as agri- cultural states should not derive the benefits of the natural resources of arid states, and that returns from na- tural resources should innure to the benefit of the sparsely settled states in which they are found. With the Gter and oil resources of this state proving beneficial to the outside world he was ‘of the opinion, that Wyoming should reap at least as much benefit as other states which do not need these resources. in storage to supply the tentative Cas. |per project as well as the projects It was the sense of the meeting/which are now in operation at Scotts. at this point that the Casper project would not react as a detriment against Present irrigation plans for projects that are now in operation.

Attaches of the district attorney's office’ said they had expected the de- fense to occupy considerable time in cross examination and had no other witnesses ready to put on the stand before today. The testimony of the three» prosecution witnesses already before the court, a nurse and two doc- tors, was that they observed bruises on Miss Rappe's arms and body. The two doctors said death was due to a ruptured bladder and the organ was probably injured by external force. Dr, Shelby Strange, who performed the autopsy on the body of Miss Rappe, said he found bruises on her right arm and that on the left arm was @ scar which might have been caused by a hypodermic needle, Great crowds attended yesterday's session and police guarded aisles ad- Jacent to the courtroom. Spectators were in the main women, the hearing being held in Judge Slyvain Lazarus’ women’s court and authorities ruling that women should have the prefer- ence over men in securing admittance.
