RAIDERS END SIEGE
ANO TURN WOTS
RACK INTO COURSE
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 20.
The waters of the Los Angeles
aqueduct, diverted into Owens- lake
last Sunday by a raiding party of
Owens Valley ranchers, who seized
and opened the Alabama waste gates
north of Lone Pine, Inyo county,
were turned back into their course
by the raiding party early today,
said a dispatch to the Los Angeles
Times.
The ranchers' decision to abandon
their announced determination “to
held the gates open until state troops
are sent or Los Angeles comes to our
1 terms,“ was reached at a conference
of leaders held at Keeler, on the
shores of Owens lake, during the
night. It was reached, says the
Times’ dispatch, as a direct result of
the resolution adopted last Tuesday
by the Los Angelas Clearing House
association promising its co-operation
in promoting a settlement of the wa
ter rights feud, ‘ providing the gates
are closed."
The control gates were opened
f when the ranchers decided to bring
to a decision their long standing dis
pute with Los Angeles over diver
sion for city use of water the ranch
ers maintained was needed for irri
gation.
Approximately 100 men overpow
ered city employes at the waste
gates, drove thefn from the site and
turned the water into Owens lake.
The Los Angeles water supply was
not threatened, however, as enough
for ninety days was impounded be
low where the aqueduct was cut.
The situation was described by ob
servers as needing but little more to
precipitate that section of California,
into civil warfare.
The proposal of W. W. Waterson
‘ Io close the control gates did not
meet, the unanimous consent of the
ranchers on guard, and it was not
until Keough, leader of an influen
tial group in the valley, had exert
ed every effort on behalf of the
recommendation that it finally was
adopted.
Harry Glasscock, recognized
spokesman of the ranchers, backed
Carl Keough and the conservatives
during the discussion.
Even after the closing of the gates
the rancheers did not leave the aque
duct, seemingly unable to compre
hend that the battle was at an end.
1 Only the empty apron of the spill
way, down which the city’s water
supply no longer rushed to the river
med below, betrayed the fact that
the aqueduct deadiocx had been
broken.
..From the outposts where they had
been standing guard, sentinels drift
ed in toward the campfires and flung
themselves down for a few moments
of sleep before daybreak.
Immediately after tne control gates
were closed a telegram was sent to
District Attorney Jess Hession of
Inyo county, who was to arrive in
San Francisco today to make an ar
. peal to Governor Richardson sot
troops.
Those not in a mood for sleep be
gan preparations tor today's barbe
cue, which was to have been a feast
of defiance, but now took on the
character of a genuinely hilarious
celebration, for all who
in the vigil at the gates, made no
secret of their relief with the strain
ended.

Woman of Mystery
In Columbus May
Be Fiction Writer
COLUMBUS, Ga., Nov. 20.—A
clue, believed by police to be the so
lution of the identity of Columbus’
“mystery woman,” who has been
baffling detection for two weeks, be
came public today with the state
ment from an authoritative source
that the woman had previously oc
cupied wards in Macon and Atlanta
hospitals.
While names of sources of infor
mation is not available to the news
papers for publication, the police
state that recently a, Columbus
woman was in Macon and chanced
into a conversation with the woman
in charge of the Clinic hospital in
Macon.
During the course of this conver
cation, it was brought out that the
description of the woman who de
parted mysteriously from the Cen
tral City hospital Wednesday before
the ‘‘mystery woman” was found on
the streets of Columbus Saturday,
corresponds wih the local sensa
tion.
The woman who was cared for at
Macon and Atlanta hospitals is said
to have stated confidentially that
she was gathering material for fic
tion stories to be carried by a. Chi
cago newspaper.
When questioned today the wom
an still contends that she has no
memory of things happening in the
past.

Kansas Professor Will Con
tinue Experiments in Mod
el Farm Community; Save
Time and Money
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 16.—A
farmer's Utopia in which much of
the heavy work of the field and the
drudgery of the household are ac
complished by electricity is being
planned by Professor H. B. Walker,
cf the Kansas State Agricultural
College at Manhattan, Kas.
Professor Walker, half done wnth
a. series of experiments to determine
the extent to which electricity can
be used by farmers and farmers’
wives, hopes soon to continue the
experiments in a model farm com
munity.
In this model community farmers
and their wives would have as much'
time for golf, visiting or other diver
sions as have city men and women.
Among the tasks which electricity
would perform for the farmer are
pumping water for live stock, grind
ing feed, furnishing better water
supply, threshing grain, curing hay,
preparing silage, storing alfalfa,
milking, separating cream, steriliz
ing milk and cleaning farm build
ings.
Will Do Women’s Work
Among the tasks which electrical
power would perform for women are
operating washing machines, iron
ing, chopping foods, lighting homes,
heating watfTr, cooking and cleaning.
Whether the model community is
to be organized depends upon a. de
cision of the public utility corpora
tions that arranged wdth Professor
Walker and other Kansans to under
take the electrical farm survey. If
the corporations agree to provide the
funds, the experiment will be under
taken.
Rapidly increased use of electricity
on farms in the next ten years is
forecast by the experiments—regard
less of whether the experimental
community is formed.
, The farm electrification survey
| was undertaken last spring when
, Governor Jonathan M. Davis ap-
I pointed a special committee on the
i relation of electricity to agriculture.
At first the experiments attempted
< to forecast the principal agricultural
products of the state ten years from
•today. Despite the. trend toward
diversification of crops, it was agreed
that electricity would increase pro
duction as well as lighten the physi
cal burden of farming.
Could Save Money and Time
Professor Walker points out that
by electrical means farmers easily
could save money as well as time in
' grinding feed for live stock and in
this way would be able to sell their
cattle and hogs at a lower figure.
“In making the preliminary sur
veys,” says Professor Walker, “we
found that electrical pumping would
increase the water supply at a very
sma(l increase in cost.
“In the grain districts electrical
threshing has been demonstrated as
i not only possible but profitable. We
■ have gone further and have outlined
i the possibilities of curing hay,’ pre
i paring silage and putting up alfalfa
I by electricity.”
In the dairy industry, great sav
! ing can be made possible by electri-
I cal milking, it was shown.
Various milking machines, operat
-1 ed by electricity, are being tested,
j Operation of cream separators and
milk sterilizers by electricity already
has become quite general where
power is available.
Extension of power lines will re
sult in greater use of electricity on
farms in the future, the experiment
[ ers believe.

work was presented Thursday bv
Frank L. Wells, of St. Louis,' just
before the roll call on superannuates
—veteran ministers who have retired
from active service. Mr. IVells out
lined the plans for the endowment
for superannuates, urging that the
North Georgia conference set aside a
larger amount to be invested by the
endowment fund directors to provide
annuities for these retired preachers.
More than a score of white-haired
veterans of the Methodist itinerancy
responded to their names when the
roll of superannuates was called,
some of them speaking briefly of
their service. Among these were the
Rev. J. V. Morris, of Athens, ninety
five years old, the oldest member of
the North Georgia conference, who
interested his hearers for several
minutes with a brief description of
his service and with advice to young
preachers.

Baltimore piper i
INDICTED FOB TEST
DE TAX PUBLICITY
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.—The ’
Baltimore Dally Post was indicted by
the federal grand jury today for pub
lication of the income tax lists.
The indictment, the first test case
to be instituted by the department
of justice to obtain judicial construc
tion of conflicting provsions in the
income tax law, charges that the
Post printed the returns on income
taxes in violation of section 3167 of
the revised statutes, despite a warn
ing given by the treasury depart
ment when public inspection was or
dered.
The indetment, whch consists of
five counts, charges the company
with the "unlawful publication” on
last October 24 of the names and in- j
come tax returns of five men, giving’
their names and amounts of their
payments.
The indictment followed the ap
pearance before the grand jury to
day of Harold Allen and Sewell Key,
special assistants to Attorney Gen
eral Stone.
Galen L. Tait, internal revenue col
lector this district, was named as the
prosecutng witness. So far as is
known, he was the only witness.
INDICTMENTS ELSEWHERE
TO TEST OTHER PHASES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—1 n the
grand jury proceeding against the
Baltimore Daily Post, Attorney Gen
eral Stone sought to present various
phases of the question of publishing
Income tax leturns so that a caurt
ruling may be obtained under the
conditions existing in Baltimore.
He has instructed United States
attorneys in six or seven other in
stances to make presentments to
grand juries in as many cities, ask
ing indictments of newspapers there
to obtain court expressions in a va
riety of communities.
The attorney general said today he
would press for early court action in
the B-altimore case, and would pursue
the same policy with respect to the
others. He desires to get the ques
tion to the supreme court as soon as
possible.
Since the indictment in Baltimore
is against the Baltimore Post com
pany, it was indicated that the de
partment of justice desired to hinge
that case on the alleged culpability
of a corporation instead of an indi
vidual. In some of the other cases
indictments may be brought against
individuals in order ‘o develop anoth
er phase of the apparent conflict in
the tax law, which says in one in
stance that ;he income tax returns
shlal be open to oublic inspection and
in another paragraph, re-enacts sec
tion 3167 of the revised statutes,
making it an offense to print infor
mation concerning the returns.
The attorney general received the
question of liability of newspapers
under the tax law from the treasury
department, which at the time it or
dered the income tax lists made pub
lic issued a warning against their
publication.
Total Sun Eclipse
In Northeast Jan. 24
To Be Century’s Best
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.—An eclipse
of the sun, beginning in the Lake
Winnipeg region and total in the
eastern states in the vicinity of Buf
falo, New York and partial in the
central and middle western states,
will be visible January 24, 1925. ac
cording to Prof. E. B. Frost, direc
tor of the Yerkes Observatory of
the University of Chicago. It will
be the best of the century for the
regions named, he said.
The eclipse will be first visible in
24:43 degrees latitude and 88:2 de
grees longitude, according to astro
nomical records at the University
of Chicago, in which are figured to
a certainty future events of the sun
and moon. It will end in the vicin
ity of the Shetland Islands. In New
York City it. will be total only in the
vicinity of the Bronx.
The eclipse promises to give as
tronomers few new data because of
uncertain weather conditions but it
will furnish a far better view of
such a phenomenon than any of the
younger generation has ever had,
said Prof. F. R. Moulton, of the
university department of astronomy.
Thanksgiving Turkey
To Be Not ,
Puritan, Says Scientist
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.—The turkey
that will grace the board Thanks
giving day will not be the same
kind of a turkey the Puritans ate
but a descendant from the barn-yard
flocks of the vanquished Aztecs of
Mexico, according to John T. Zim
mer, of the zoology department of
the Field museum.
“Wild turkeys like those the Puri
tans found in New England were
not domesticated to any extent,”
said Zimmer. “They are extinct in
many of their former haunts and are
restricted to some of the gilder sec
tions of the southern states.
“The present day domesticated tur
key greatly resembles the magnifi
cent wild birds now found in east
ern Mexico and raised by the Aztecs
when that race was conquered by
the Spaniards in 1517. Th e Span
iards are credited with taking the
domesticated Aztec birds back to Eu
rope and doubtless some of the same
breed were brought over here by the
Puritans and other colonists.”
