DEVELOPMENT PLANS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 .—Question^,,
concerning a report that the governor
of Arizona had been refused by the
governor of alitornia for consideration
of a supplementary pact outside of
the Colorado river agreement for
disposition of the waters of that river
as involved in the proposed dam at
Boulder Canyon were put at a hear
ing by the senate reclamation com
mittee today on the dam project.
Senator Kendrcik, democrat, Wy
oming, asked concerning the report
and Ralph L. Crisswell, a member
of the Los Angeles city council, who
was on the stand, said he knew ^
nothing about it.
In commenting on the project, the
California governor said “there must
be something wrong with the gov- j
ernor of Arizona,” inasmuch as the :
Colorado pact negotiated among seven j
western states “has not been sign- f
ed,” by that state.
“What does Arizona want in the j
way of a supplementary agreement ,
with our state?” Senator Shortridge
asked.
“I would prefer to let the governor ;
explain that,” Senator Ashurst, demo

Senator Kendrick, democrat, Wy
oming, announced that he and many :

NIGHT MOVEMENTS
OF ALL SHIPS ON
COLUMBIA BARRED
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 6.—The Co
lumbia River Pilot’s association an
nounced today that it would maintain
its ban on night movements of ves
sels in the Columbia river in full
operation. The river is full of ice,
according to pilots’ reports, but no
trouble beyond delay is being experi
enced in the daytime with big steel
ships. Wooden ships can get thru
if they are being diverted to Grays
Harbor, the pilots’ office heard today.
Most of the range lights, accord
ing to the lighthouse service, are
located where they cannot be
reached by a big boat. Small boats
cannot get to them now, either from
shore or from a ship in the channel.
Most of the lights that are out of
commission are between Portland
and St. Helens, Ore., but, if the ice
continues, many go out, as they are
fueled only for seven days. Men
who tend the lights are doing all they
can to keep the lamps going, ac
cording to the local lighthouse of
fice.

POILU SQUARES ACCOUNTS
WITH GERMAN LIEUTENANT
BREST, Jan. 6.—(AP).—In the
railway station of a small village of
Morbihan, Brittany, a number of
carts full of sweet Breton .apples
destined for the German market
were being loaded on railway trucks,
while a German fruit merchant
stood complacently w’atching the
work. Suddenly a Breton peasant,
dark eyed and stockily built, left his
horses and strode up to the German.
"Are you Ober-Lieutenant X who
was in command of Camp X during
the war?” he asked.
“Yes,” was the answer.
“And I’m soldier X,” shouted the
Breton peasant, a strange light in
his eyes, “and we’ll settle it right
here now."
Before the German had time to
run the Breton was on him, punch
ing him right and left and knocking
the German all over the village
square. So sound was the beating
he gave the German that onlookers
had to drag him away, but none
was in sympathy with the loser
when they realized that the French
ex -prisoner of wTar was paying back
months of hardship and ill treat
ment.
SEATTLE MAN.. HURT IN
BATTLE WITH PIRATES
SEATTLE, Jan. 6—Suffering from
the effects of gunshot wounds re
ceived in a battle \vith Chinese pir
ates on the Yangtze river, Charles
Earnhardt, a marine engineer on the
Standard Oil steamer Meitan, entered
a local hospital for treatment today,
j after arriving last night aboard the
I steamship President Jackson from
Shanghai, China.
“The oattle .in which I received
my wounds was fought last October
while the oil tanker Meitan was en
route from Ichang to Chuking,” said
Earnhardt. “The pirates attacked the
tanker in small boats at a narrow
point in the river. Four of us were
wounded. The firing on both sides
continued until the tanker reached
a small village, where the bandits
escaped.”

HONDURAN BANDITS LOOT
MAIL SACKS FROM AMERICA
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Jan. 6.
—American business interests in Hon
duras are concerned over the utter
carelessness which has characterized
the handling of mail matter within
Honduran territory, from the United
States. Serious losses and much in
convenience have resulted.
It seems that some 150 sacks of
mail from America accumulated re
cently at Pito Solo, near Calse Yoj
oa, in a wooden building. Maraud
ers came that direction, they looted
them all. Letters, documents, checks
drafts, invoices, etc., were scattered
about in the fields, and the mail
sacks themselves carried off to be
used as rain coats.
