HUGHES PRESIDING - INLAKES DISPUTE Imposing Array of Counsel | Arguing Chicago’s Right . to Divert Water. By the Associated Press. Charles E. Hughes, sitting as spe-. ©lal master before an imposing array ot counsel, representing 13 States, be- gan yesterday the taking of evidence asked for by the Supreme Court as & result of the injunction suits filed to restrain Illinois and the Chicago Sanitary District in the diversion of water from Lake Michigan. The proceedings opened what Is ex- pected to be a three-week collection of facts bearing on the old controversy between the Sanitary District, its mother State and the complainant States of Wisconsin, Michigan, Minne- sota, Ohlo, Pennsylvania and New York. Allied with Chicago and Ili- pois are the States of Missourl, Kentucky, Tennessee, Loulsiana, Ar- kansas and Mississippi. Former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker opened the session. Mr. Baker asserted that Canada also was in a viclent state of protest because of the continued diversion of water by Chicago, -He charged that Chi- cago had gone ahead diverting water from the lake in defiance of War De- rmment authority until the surface evel of the lakes below Lake Superior and as far as Montreal had been low- ered from 6 to 8 inches. The lower levels, he said, have in- Jured that section of the country Which “is the Nation's bread basket and meat hamper,” damaging Yrans- portation and harbors and seriously hurting its economic life. Hugh S. Johnson, representing the attorney general of Llinois, declared the injunction proceeding was based on “selfishness.” The proper plaintiff, he sald, was the United States, and not the defendant States “Illinols acts i the interest of the Great Lakesto-the-Gulf waterway,” he said, adding that “the stopping of the diversion would cause little change in lake levels.” As special counsel for Mississippi Valley es allied with Illinois, Dan- fel Kirby contended that continued dversion of water from the lakes into the Illinois and ultimately into the Mississippl rivers was ‘essential to the very existence of river commerce.” Shutting off the lake waters, he argued, would imperil the future of ssippi Valley, and that would not less than @ national calamity SHIPPING NEWS Arrivals at and Sailings From New York.

"Now North by East,” I wisted; “this route will be the best;” but that fool hog insisted on going South by West. We scrapped along the hedges, we wrestled in the dirt; my soul was worn to edges, I tore my costly shirt. “You idiot forsaken,” I cried, with much abuse, “T'll kick off all your bacon, and knock your spare ribs loose!’ Between my legs he trotted, as though with fell design, and I came down and swatted the roadway with my spine. We rolled around togeth- er disturbing of the peace, and with his lungs of leather he yelied for the police. I, pelted him with boulders until he was a wreck, T kicked him in the shoulders and also in the neck. And as a falr repayment for what T'd handed him, he stripped me of my raiment and bit my starboard limb. And still the hog insisted on going South by West; his intellect was twisted, his judgment was a jest. And T was bound to travel in just the other way. and so, In dust and gravel, we scrapped for half a day. For years "and years I'd boasted of being always calm; I never raged or roasted, my language was a balm. I felt that nothing mortal my temper could dis- turb; I'd always sing and chortle and spring my cheer-up blurb.. But in man’s armor gaudy there always is a chink; some arrow finds his body and puts him on the blink. There is some little weakness that he may not sus- pect; his philosophic meekness by some mischance is wrecked. When I was roundly bragging of rules of con- duct fine, my tongue was vainly wag- ging—I had not driven swine. WALT MASON. (Copyright. 1926.) 2,600 SEEK 600 JOBS. Applicants for Christmas Work at Post Office Exceed Vacancies. Since thére are now 2,600 applicants for 600 temporary positions no further applications will be accepted for temporary Christmas work at the post office, Postmaster Mooney an- nounced today. In addition to 1,500 applicants who have registered since the application lists were opened on October 1, he said, there are 1,100 eligibles on the civil service records for the city post office. These registers contain the names of those passing the last clerk, car- rier laborer, and motor vehicle ser- vice examinations, and in accordance with civil service regulations these eligibles must be offered the tempo- rary work first.

By the Associated Press. MONTICELLO, N. Y., November 9. —Charles Wise, 16-year-old Brooklyn charity ward, today gathered up the threads of his quiet life in Sullivan County, severed abruptly last Sum- mer with his arrest on a charge of murder. After deliberating more than three hours a jury last night acquitted the boy of the murder last July of Nina Vilona, 55-year-old Mount Vernon pianist. Miss Vilona’s body, a bullet wound in the head and a gash in the forehead, was found beneath a pile of stones beside the Neversink River, and the boy was arrested a week later. The State’s case was based largely on circumstantial evidence. District Attorney Foster sought to prove that the boy’s cheap revolver fired the bul- let which was taken from the pian- ist’s head, and testimony of firearms experts, appearing for the prosecu- tion, supported his claims. The defense countered with the tes- timony of another expert, who assert- ed as strongly that the bullet could not have been fired from the gun, which the boy declared had never killed a living thing. In addition, the woman with whom the boy boarded at Bitter Sweet said the gun had been hidden away in her home for days be- fore and after the murder. ‘When the acquittal was announced the crowd applauded. The jury was out 8 hours and 15 minutes. SPANISH*WAFi VET DEAD. Capt, John J. Clark Awarded Medal for Cuban Service. Capt. John J.

Arriving In Brussels, the princess declined to have the top of her car- riage put up, and she was thoroughly drenched by the rain before the royal palace was reached. An old Swedish proverb says that ‘“the bride whose wedding bouquet is wetted by rain is certain to be happy.” The Crown Prince and princess, ac- companied by King Albert and Queen Elizabeth, attended a gala perfo! 1 nigh It long after midnight before the streets were cleared of the crowds which as- sembled to get a glimpse of the couple.
