18TH IRRIGATION
CONGRESS OPENS
'Save Forests, Store Floods, and
Make Homes on Land,' Says
President Fowler
GREAT CROWD CHEERS BRYAN
Alva Adams Favors State Con
trql—Nebraskan Says State
and Nation Must Agree
PUEBLO, Colo., Sept. 88.—The Ques
tion of state right* versus the new na
tionalism looms large on the horizon at
the clone of the first day's session of
the eighteenth National Irrigation con
gress.
Whether the quentlon of state* righto
in the matter of water distribution nil)
he brought squarely before the congress
will depend Inricrly upon the position of
the Colorado delegation. This delega
tion will meet tomorrow morning to de
tide upon matters of pollry. Until the
decision of Colorado Is announced otlier
rielrgutlons are maintaining a neutral
attitude.
[Aasoclated Press)
PUEBLO, Colo., Sept. 26.—Laying
down the policy that "no gang rule
shall flourish here," and reiterating the
congress' motto, "Save the forests.
store the floods, reclaim the deserts,
make homes on the land," President B.
Fowler of Phoenix, Ariz., Informally
opening the eighteenth National Irri
gation congress here this afternoon
aligned himself with those delegate!
who favor a thorough discussion of
all practical problems of Irrigation.
While President Fowler in his ad
dress did not intimate knowledge of
any attempt to Inject personal ques
tions into the deliberations of the con
gress, he took the broad position that
this congress is and must remain the
national forum for consideration of ir
rigation matters. He reviewed at
length the achievements of the con-
grfss in its almost twenty years of ex
istence, both in securing beneficial leg
islation In congress and in furthering
the construction of irrigation projects
In the west. Recognizing that the con
gress Is confronted by many import
ant problems for further consideration,
President Fowler in closing declared:
"This congress must watch over and
continue to contribute to the develop
ment and groth of its foster children,
national forestry and Irrigation, the
kindred subject of national drainage
of the swamp lands of the south and
the east will need its help, national wa
terways and the system of treatment
of our rivers, especially at the head
waters, will demand and should receive
our careful consideration and aid.
"Here, in this congress of the people
in the national forum for the considera
tion of all vital questions relating to
the uses and advices of water. Irriga
tion and forestry, and so long as the
governments of the people, by the
people and for the people shall live,
so long will the need of great popular
convocations like this exist and appeal
to the people who boast of enlightened
freedom."
Former Governor Alva Adams, In
discussing "Colorado: Conquest and
Conservation," declared himself In
favor of state control of irrigation
projects, whioh would place the devel
opment and conservation of national
resources close to the people. This, he
said, would "insure tranquillity, pro
mote the dignity of the states, harm
no one, strengthen the nfttion and ad
vance the welfare of all the people."
Thousands of delegates and local
people packed the Mineral palace to
hear William J. Bryan discuss "Irri
gation and National Development" to
night. Emphasizing the importance of
irrigation. Mr. Bryan said, in part:
■ "Irrigation is in its Infancy. It is one
of the oldest forms of agriculture In
the world, but it is one of the newest
In the United States, because of the
vast areas available for cultivation
with the natural rainfall. As these
lands have now become occupied, the
attention of the American people has
been turned to the reclamation of
ewamp lands and arid lands. Already
we have begun storing water in the
arid regions of the west, and this will
go on until all the surplus water has
been utilized.
"In the utilization of these flood
waters a conflict has arisen between
states, making It necessary for the
national government to act as arbi
trator.
"This discussion is now among the
conservationists as to the spheres of
the Btate and the nation. This dis
cussion Is a natural one. It Is not only
healthful but necessary.
"The national Interests are not to be
Ignored, and in the same way state in
terests are not to be overlooked. I be
lieve when the problem has been thor
oughly discussed in all Its phases the
two factions therein will agree on a
plan which wIU give both the sub
stanc# of the things contended for."

SAN DIEGO WARMS
TO THEODORE BELL
Democratic Candidates Open the
Southernmost Rally with
Crowded Meeting
(Associated Praia)
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 26.—The Demo
crats of San Diego had their first rally
of the ' campaign < this evening, . when
they filled Germania hall and wildly
applauded a long speech by Theodore
Bell and a very brief one by Timothy
Spellacy. . • .
E. E. Capps presided and promptly
presented Mr. Bell. ■
At the outset Bell spoke of the great
future that California will have
through the opening of the Panama
canal. < ■„■ ,; ■.. ,'- ,-;
"The Democratic doctrine ;of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none," he said, "If steadily adhered to
in this state ■will mean industrial
progress never witnessed before."
Coming to the question of the South
ern Pacific railroad lln politics, ■ he
suggested that it is customary to put
new converts on probation, • and that
four years would be a proper proba
tionary term-for Republicans who had
concluded to ; break away from rail
way domination. He continued:
"The political supremacy of the
Southern Pacific is not the product of
a few days or a few months. It' runs
back many years through the history
of California. This pernicious Influ
ence has been exorcised through the
medium of the Republican party.
Time and time again the Democratic
party has taken an absolute and une
quivocal , position against- its domina
tion in our affairs, but year after year
the people by a majority vote for Re
publican nominees have suffered this
great political evil to continue."
Mr. Bell asserted that he had fought
the Southern Pacific four years ago
and was still fighting it.
11 As to the immigration question, Mr.
Bell said: "I am opposed to • Asiatic
immigration, whether It be Chinese,
Japanese, Hindu or any other Oriental
people, and I shall not hesitate to use
the lawful powers of the state to pre
vent their encroachment upon , the
state." i / r
The speaker devoted some time to
education In California.
"If elected governor," he said, "I
shall overhaul our entire school sys
tem, and where modifications and
changes can be made to Improve Its
value I shall not hesitate to do all that
lies In my power."
JURY DECLARES CRIPPEN
BELLE ELMORE'S SLAYER
American Dentist Found Guilty in
Court at London
LONDON, Sept. 26.—The coroner's
Jury, after one hour's deliberation to
day, brought in the verdict that Mrs.
Cora Crippen, known on the stage as
Belle Elmore, had been willfully mur
dered by her husband, Dr. Hawley H.
Crippen, an American dentist.
After listening to the testimony for
several days and hearing the summing
up of the case by Coroner Schroeder,
the jury was left but little choice.
The inquest had been dragged out
longer than usual In order to giva the
police time for evidence. They ex
pected to bring out at the trial testi
mony tending to identify Belle Elmore'a
body, through the agency of a piece of
flesh found to contain a scar.
The case will come up for trial at the
next criminal sessions, scheduled for
October 11.
PARK BOARD OBJECTS TO
ROAD ACROSS ARROYO SECO
The park commission yesterday
adopted a resolution protesting against
the construction of a dirt railroad and
wagon road fill across the Arroyo Seco
at Pasadena avenue. The fill proposed
Is 1200 feet long and fifty feet high.
In Its resolutloln the park commis
sion says that the fill will destroy the
possibility of ever using this portion
of the arroyo as a parkway, as has
been proposed. It is possible, says the
resolution, to build an arched con
crete bridge that will enhance the nat
ural beauty of this location. It is bet
ter to wait for further funds than to
proceed with the dirt flll because it is
cheaper. The injury to property val
ues adjoining will be greater than the
saving.
A copy of the resolution will be for
warded to the council, the county su
pervlslors and the city officials of
South Pasadena, as the expense Is to
be shared by. all three.

LQS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1010.
MAID OF MANALAY
CHARMS AUDIENCE
Tuneful Opera Produced by Bank
Clerks and Friends Wins
Generous Applause
GRACEFUL DANCERS APPEAR
Melodies of the Humming Variety
Promise to Continue in
Memory of Hearers
BY I-I,OKENCB BOSARD LAWRENCE
Los Angeles was presented to "The
Maid of Manalay" last night at the
Auditorium theater, and the introduc
tion seemed a happy one. Certainly
Los Angeles was pleased—of that there
was no doubt. Flowers by the bushels,
applause, huzzas and bravos testified
to the admiration of the audience. And
the maid? She offered her sweetest
songs, her brightest smiles and most
alluring dances in evpression of her en
joyment of the situation.
This opera, the second we have heard
from the pen of Harry Olrard, received
a production last night at the hands
of tho bank clerks and their friends
which will establish an entirely new
standard for local amateur dramatic
work. No such home talent work has
been heard on a local stage before, so
far as solos 'and ensemble singing,
dancing and marching may be con
sidered. A large chorus, alive and very
much awake every minute, a well
trained orchestra and a great number
of voices which are actually musical
is an excellent instrument upon which
a capable director may play, and
under the baton of Harry Girard, coim
poser and producer of the opera, last
night's premiere was astonishingly suc
cessful.
MELODY IN CnORUSKS
Musically, the opera Is more am
bitious than was "The Alaskan." It
has fewer tunns of the popular sort,
but many of the choruses and both
finales are beautifully harmonized and
orchestrated. A number of the solos
will prove to be of the "humming"
variety. The book, too, is replete with
good lines and kept the audience
amused, if not actually hilarious
throughout the evening.
In the cast last night were several
singers who made their first public ap
pearance. Of these a notable success
was attained by Fred McPherson in
the tenor role of Dteut. Ney Val Flagg.
This young man sang and acted his
part In excellent style. His voice,
which is high and clear In quality,
earned him several encores and the en
thusiastic applause not only of his
friends but of every appreciative lis
tener In the house.
Edith Salyer as Hua, a native wine
seller, displayed grace and charm in
the dance which opened the opera, and
formed a picturesque addition to every
picture.
Miss Hazel Runge, while a stranger
to the footlights in Just this particular
sphere, has yet had so much concert
experience that her undoubted success
as the fascinating Widow Tarbox was
only to be expected. Gifted with a
spirited manner, admirable stage pres
ence and a voice already excellent and
constantly growing and developing to
fuller beauty, this young woman may,
If she so aspires, hope to attain to" con
siderable heights in the operatic world.
CAPTIVATING SAILOB BOY
Agnes Cain Brown Girard Is already
well known to theatergoers here, but
rarely before has she had a part In
which she was so delightful. Her petite
figure was most captivating in the na
tive costume and as the Insouciant sai
lor boy she was Irresistible. Her songs,
"The Maid of Manalay" and "Aloha
Oe," as well as later numbers, were
given with the utmost vocal art In
which her beautiful voice appeared to
excellent effect.
Edward Phillbrook in the bass role,
Mehoku, was also one of the stars of
the evening and every member of the
entire cast acquitted himself excel
lently. Remaining characters of the
piece were as follows:
Reddy Wiggins, a New York barkeep,
Carroll Johnson.

DENY RESPONSIBILITY
FOR SWAN GIRL'S DEATH
Dr. Grant Charged with Crime,
and Athlete Is Held
RAiN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.— Beyond
the formal charging 06 Dr. James F.
Grant with the crime of murder, there
were no new developments In the Kva
Swan case today.
Both Grant and Paul H. Parker, the
former Stanford university athlete
who is held by the police in connec
tion with the affair, still cling to their
stories that they were in no way re
sponsible for the death of the young
stenographer.
After a long talk with Parker today
District Attorney Charles M. Flckert
ordered him back to the city prison,
where he will be held indefinitely.
In a complete statement made to
day, Miss Marie Messerschmidt, the
nurse who was employed by Dr. Grant,
and who says that she saw him place
the body of Miss Swan in the trunk,
told Fickert and Detective Ed Wren
that Parker did not accompany the
pirl to Grant's offices on her first visit
to the place. She said, however, that
Parker later knew of the fact that
the girl was half delirious from her
suffering.
Miss Messerschmidt was certain also
that Willie Saack, the boy who is
supposed to have assisted Dr. Grant
Jn disposing of the remains, was not
present when the body was placed in
the trunk. _ ■ ia 111. L'l
'BIGGER FLEET' CONGRESS
PLANNED FOR WEST COAST
San Diego Chamber of Commerce
Indorses Evans Idea
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 26.—The idea of
holding a Pacific coast congress as the
means of taking steps for urging upon
congress the importance and necessity
of maintaining a fleet of battleships on
the Pacific coast as recommended by
Admiral Evans was indorsed by the
San Diego chamber of commerce at a
meeting today.
A telegram was sent to the admiral
notifying him of the action taken.
Also a telegram was sent to Governor
Gillett informing him that the local
chamber of commerce indorsed the
congress plan proposing that the con
gress be held at San Francisco and
asking him to co-operate In the move
ment.
Telegrams were also sent to the
eljambors of commerce at Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Oakland, Portland,
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and Santa
Barbara, informing- them of the moce
ment, asking that they co-operate and
suggesting to them the propriety of the
meeting being held in San Francisco.
To other civic and municipal bodies
up and down the Pacific coast letters
are to be sent embodying the same
facts.
POLICE WILL TRANSFER
NO MORE LIQUOR PERMITS
The police commission last night an
nounced the policy that it wl' grant
bo more transfers of ownership In
liquor licenses. The precedent was
established by refusing to grant a
transfer of the saloon at 116 North
Spring street from Carl Leopold to
Gus Hall and a wholesale permit from
Charles De Long at 231 East Sixth
street to C. L. Krug.
The police commission holds that a
liquor permit is a personal privilege,
and that when a holder of one wishes
to give it up hn must come before the
commission and surrender it. The
man he wishes to sell his business to
may apply for the permit, but the
commission will use its own judgment
as to whether or not it shall bo
granted.

37,426 STUDENTS
IN LOCAL SCHOOLS
Superintendent Francis Reports
Enrollment Increase of
2919 Over Last Year
6397 AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Educational Institutions Are'Re-
ported as Well Protected
from Fires
Superintendent Francis' monthly re
port, submitted at the regular meeting
of the city board of education last
evening, stated that the total enroll
ment in all the grammar schools of
Los Angeles has reached 37,426, with
two weeks of school past, an increase
of 2919 over the same period last year.
In the high schools the superinten
dent's report shows 6397, an increase of
1689 over one year ago. These figures
are for all the high schools under the
board's jurisdiction. The city high
schools proper have an increase In en
rollment alone amounting to 1029, or 22
per cent over last year.
The proposition of whether the Los
Angeles Planing Mill company, which
had the contract for part of the fur
nishings for the Manual Arts high
school, should build certain tables for
use in the kitchen of that school was
left to the board's building committee.
This committee in its report recom
mended that the secretary advise the
planing mill company that unless it
builds the cooking tables at once the
board would have such tables con
structed and deduct the cost of same
from the amount due on the finished
contract.
The communication received from
the board of fire commissioners in re
gard to the safety of school buildings
was referred to the building committee
with power to act on the -suggestions
offered. It was the consensus of opin
ion among the members of the board
that the Los Angeles school buildings
were safe from flres. The building
foreman testified that all doors swing
outward on all the buildings and that
all have four exits which are kept wide
open all during school hours.
An item In the finance committee's
report calling for a quantity o£ hard
woods for use at the.Manual Arts high
school was ordered stricken out of that
report and returned to the committee
for further information. The board
waa of the opinion that if the students
of the new school were to have mahog
any, maple and oak the board ought to
at least know just what such expen
sive wood was to be used for.

SAYS WATER TRAFFIC
OPPOSED BY RAILROADS
WASHINGTON, Sept." 26.— "Probably
the greaest single deterrent water ter
minal advance In the United States 13
the present adverse attitude of rail
lines toward independent water traf
fic, in' their exclusive control of front
age, in refusal or neglect to co-ordin
ate with general water traffic and in
refusal to pro-rate generally with water
lines in through movement of traffic."
This is one of the conclusions of Her-
Bert Knox Smith, commisisoner of cor
porations, just made public, of his re
port to the president on water trans
portation in the United States. After
an exhaustive inquiry into the harbor
situation of the country and an anal
ysis of conditions, Commissioner Smith
deals In this section of the report with
water terminals and he finds five sa
lient facts regarding them.
That terminals are as Important as
channels: that the harbors of the coun
try have not fully developed their ter
minal frontage nor are they properly
organized or controlled; that railroads
largely control water terminals, often
to the disadvantage of general water
traffic- that there is almost no linking
up of the rail and general water sys
tems at the water's edge, but rather the
opposite tendency, and that there is
little co-operation by localities with the
federal government which improves
their channels.
Lack of co-operation between locali
ties and the federal government In wa
ter terminal development, he says, is in
marked contrast to those continental
countries whose waterways have been
most highly developed.
