Raiders Surrender Los Angeles Aqueduct
WATERS TDRMEI BACK
INTO THEIR CHANNEL
LOS ANGELES. 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 Thursday, said a dis
patch to the Los Angeles
Times.
The ranchers’ decision to
abandon their announced
determination to “hold the
gates open until state
troops are sent to Los An
geles comes to our terms”
was reached at a confer
ence of leaders held at
Keeler, on the shores of
Owens Lake, during the
night. It was reach ed,
says the Times dispatch, as
a direct result of the reso
lution adopted last Tuesday
by the Los Angeles Clear
ing House Association
promising its co-operation
in promoting a settlement
of the water rights feud,
“providing the gates are
closed.”
THINK GLUE FOUND
IN ‘MYSTERY GIRL’
CASE AT COLUMBUS
COLUMBUS. Ga.—A clue, believed
bv police to be the solution of the
identity of Columbus' "mystery wom
an” who has been baffling detection
for two weeks, became public Thurs
day with the statement from an au
thoritative source that the woman
had previously occupied wards in Ma
con 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 wom
an was in Macon and chanced into a
conversation with the woman in
charge of the Clinic Hospital in Ma
con.
During the course of this conversa
tion It was brought out that the de
scription of the woman who departed
mysteriously from the central city
hospital Wednesday before the "mys
tery woman” was found on the streets
of Columbus Saturday, corresponds
with the local sensation.
The woman who was cared for at
Macon and Atlanta hospitals is said
to have stated confidentially that she
was gathering data ror fiction stories
to be carried by a Chicago newspaper.
When questioned Thursday the
woman stflj contends that she has
no memory of things happening in
the past.

one of the control gates on the Los Angeles aqueduct, which
supplies the southern California city with water from the central part
of the state. Ranchers claim that the city is stealing tho water which

Ga. Baptists Adopt
‘Fundamental’ Report
COLUMBUS, Ga. The |
Georgia Baptist convention i
at Wednesday night’s ses- j
sion authorized a bond issue
of $500,000 for a new Georgia I
Baptist hospital building to 1
be located in Atlanta. The I
hospital report was submit- |
ted by Dr. Milo H. Massey, i
of Americus.

O O
COLUMBUS, Ga. —Having laid
down principles by which all insti
tutions and agents of the conven
tion must subscribe to as advocated
in the address of President J. D.
Mell of Athens, the Georgia Bap
tist convention entered its final
session Thursday morning at the
First Baptist Church.
The action of the conference last
night in adopting the resolutions
embodying principles called for by
Dr. Mell was the outgrowth of the
desire on the part of the convention
to prevent further drastic action
as taken when Dr. Henry Fox was
deposed as professor of biology at
Mercer University. Dr. Fox’s name
has not been mentioned on the floor
of the convention but the incident
has"Tfeen indirectly referred to in
several speeches.
Fears of some of the delegates to
the convention that fiqht would
come on the floor when the resolu
tion was brought up for action pro
ved unfounded. There was only a
few questions asked when the vote
was called and only one negative
cast when the vote was finished.
AMICABLE ENDING
OF CONTENTION
The passage of the resolution
brought to an amicable ending the
one contention most feared by dele
gates. There was considerable ar
gument on the resolution appoint
ing a committee to submit princi
ples on the grounds that the Bapr
tist church had never had a creed
and never should have one. The
point was completely left out of the
set of principles and thus ended the
undercurrent which was apparent
throughout the convention.
The adoption of the report means
according to leading delegates to
the convention, that the conven
tion expects its trustees of all edu
cational institutions and other in
terests To require that all persons
employed by them shall give assent
to the fundamentals embodied in
the set of principles as taught by
the Baptists.
Dr .E. J. Forrester of Atlanta, for
several years a professor at Mer
cer University gave notice that he
would propose at the state conven
tion to be held In Savannah nevt
year to make this doctrinal state
ment an amendment to the consti
tution of the convention. There
was some dissension among dele
gates following the announcement
of Dr. Forrester indicating a spirit
ed debate at the 1925 meeting.
The report adopted by the Geor
gia Baptists recommends that "the
following principles shall control in
the employment or continuance of
service of all officers of the conven
tion, and of all teachers in Geor
gia schools and colleges participat
ing In funds raised by the conven
tion.
Belief in the Old and New Testa
ment as the word of God as the
Almighty and Holy Creator and
Preserver of the universe and men:
belief in Jesus Christ as the Di
vine Helper, guide and comforter:
belief In the resurrection of Jesus
and of the resurrection of the re

RAILROAD PROBLEMS
Are Economic Questions,
Executives Say
NEW YORK.—Railroad problems
should be considered as economic
questions and not as political Is
sues, according to a "declaration of
policy” issued by the Association
of Railway Executives in annual
convention.

here Wednesday the belief was
stressed that railway conditions to
day call for legislative action by
congress.
The “declaration" also held that
rate fixing by legislative action
would be destructive, that amend
ments to the transportation act
must be kept from the hands of
“political doctors" and that ade
quate revenues should be assured
the carriers to meet needs ot service
and expansion.

dent of tho Chicago, Burlington &

ciation, R. K. Ashton, president of
