Cal,, June 19.—Col- William Kelly, corps of engi- United States army and chief rr of the federal power com- mission at Washington, D. C., in a paper reaq here before the American Society® of Civil Engineers ,con- demned the prdposed high dam in Boulder Canyon of the Colorado river and declared that ‘all develop- ment needed on the Colorado will be Wultt by private capital under ade- quate federal and state regulation if the river is given over to Cevel- opment under the federal water puwer act.” Colonel Kolly was not present in person, and his paper was read for him. “The proponed high dam in the Boulder canyon should not be built,” Colonel Kelly's paper said, “because it will curtail ultimate power devel- opment by 300,000 horsepower and ultimate irrigation by about 50,000 acres." “If the federa! ggévernment de- clfes to. provide for the flood stor- age for the lower basin of the Col- orado it should be provided in Mo jave valley where it will conform to the maximum use of the river for all purposes. Steps should be instituted as early as practicable to negotiate a sult- able treaty with Mexico covering the maintenance of levees, canals, etc, in Mexico, and an agreement as to the water that will?be pro vided for Mexican lands.” The very exhaustive paper on the Colorado prepared by the government expert, said among other things: “Interference between peter de- velopment and {rrigation in the up- per basin of the Colorado, of which the most promising of the former are on the Green River between Green River, Wyo., and junction of the Green River with the Colorado, should be given careful considera- before developments ane uhder- taken. ‘Irrigation in the canyon section of the Colorado river never will be important. The importance of this section is due to the 4,000,000 horse- power it can produce, This section extends from the jungtiom of the Green river to below Neeclea Cal. “Below Needles, including Mexico, there are more lands than can event- ually be irrigated than there will be water to serve. Power possibilities in this section are small. “The scheme of develépmient therefore should provide that: first. losses from evaporation should be kept to a maximum; second, all available head should be ured for power; third, storage for regulatior «af flow should be located above the canyon ection; fourth, storage in and below, the canyon section should be limited to that necessary for reguiation of flow for irrigation in the lower bain, plus such quan PASADENA, onel tity as is essential for immediate fluod relief.” On the subject of power, the paper said: “The power demand fn southern California has increased in the past fourteen years at a rate of about 13 per cent, compounded annually The use of power in the United States has grown with surprising rapidity. It is not extravagant to conclude that all power in the can yon section of the Colorado may be absorbed in the next 25 or 30 years,” beeen NEWS BRIEFS WASHINGTON, June 19.—Secre- tary Weeks announced today that in- vestigation of complaints against Lyon, Hill and company, who pur- chased the Spruce Production cor- poration railroad No. 1, in Clallam county, Washington, in 1922, had dais closed there no grounds for charges that the purchase contract was being violated. were CAPETOWN, Union of South Africa, June 19.—(By The Associat ed Press)}—General Jan Christian Smuts, premier of the Union of South Africa whose majority in the assembly was wiped out in this week's election, has accepted the offer of Col.

OAKLAND, Calif, June 19.—Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, partook of a dinner here Wednesday which cost him some where around $4,170.46. It wasn't such a swell feed, either, that is, in the sense of the flam- boyant trimmings like jazz music. rare chinaware and the other fancy stage props that are commonly sup posed to go with such a costly repast But it was a mighty substantial meal, toothsome too, consisting of fried spring chicken, done to the Nght coff colored brown that's at tained y by great culinary ar- Usts, creamed carrots, new potatoes. crisp pink radishes leas than a half hour out of a carefully tended back yard garden plot and real home made apple pie to top it off, The dinner was served down- also cooked—by the buxom, mother ly "Ma" Kearns, whose son Jack guldes.

Incidentally, the $4,170.46 charged up on Dempsey’s ledger in red ink is for his time alone. It doesn’t in- clude the salaries for the whole army of movie folk who perforce sat around and killed time while Jack dined with great enjoyment at Ma Kearns’. The meal was simply at Ma Kearns’ today the carrying out of a practice which has become an in stitution with Dempsey For many months in his “pork nd beans” fighting days, Jack ate at Ma Kearns’ table three times a day regularly He slept at Ma Kearns,’ too In fact, it is to Ma Kearna’ mothering” ot Jack throukh a couple of threatening Dempsey’s Press Agent Figures $4,170 Against Dinner Eaten By Champ on a charge of perjury. The perjury charge, which Wachtel asserts was instituted by Fred Wyckoff, prose- cuting attorney of Hot Springs county, was withdrawn by Wyckoff Wednesday morning, several days after Wachtel had filed against Wyckoff charges of drunkeness and failure to perform official dutie sieges of illness and to her strength- building cookery when he first sought fame as a heavyweight con- tender that a lot of his present day fighting prowess is credited, As a result, the champion never comes to San Francisco that he does not take time out from his business and social duties, no matter how hacd pressing, to have a “real din- ner’ at Ma K ns’, the fried chicken feast to- day, pite the fact that she was supposed to occupy the chair of hostess, Ma Kearns hovered almost continuously at Jack's right elbow. “What in the world’s the matter with your appotite? You're not eat ing hardly anything,” she chided numerous times, Jack meanwhile consumed six Pleces of fried chicken and a couple helpings of everything else. Pos- sibly his appetite, as Ma Kearns in sisted, wasn't up to his pork-and bean day calibre, but to those pres- ent there seemed nothing wrong, with it. Ma Kearns finally desisted when Jack, with much ceremoniousness, let out four or five notches in his belt and then demanded that she summon an ambulance to transport him back to San Francisco, After the meal was over, the champion insisted on using up an- other hour of his valuable time— worth $1,390, according to, the movie press agent's computations—in a heart-to-heart talk with Ma Kearns on a shady bench in the back yard.

On his way back to San Francisco on the ferry boat, Jack cornered his personal movie press nt and the news writer who had along, to take of Ma Kearns’ dinner. It a corner they could not escape from. : “Wasn't that absolutely the best dinner you ever ate?—say yes,” he demanded, with the well known fighting gleam in his eyes, ‘Yes,", answered the duo, Andit was MADOO BEGING ACTIVE DRIVE TO LAND VOTE Conferences Launched At Headquarters in New York.
