TOPrEXISH. Wash.. July 25. (Spe cial.) Shortage in the water on the Tilton project is only to the extent that no more than each member's quota is available. The ditch is built to fur nish 2.4 feet of water to each acre. The canal is carrying 330 second feet of water, the most it has ever carried, but due to the abnormally dry season, and the fact that alfalfa re quires almost double the quantity of water necessary for fruit trees, there is no surplus.

'"AS--. "- I r ! SHOOTING STORY IS BELIEVED BY JUDGE Boy's Tale of Accidental Death Rings True. CASE BEING INVESTIGATED Playmates Were on Apparent Good Terms and Tragedy Results When Pistol Explodes. After a thorough examination of 18-year-old George Miller, independent of the police investigation. Judge Kanzler of the court of domestic relations an nounced yesterday that the boys story of the killing of his playmate, Frank McCauley, aged 1. had the ring of truth and that he was inclined to believe.tfaat the shooting was entirely accidental. "The motive of the boy In hiding the body of his slain friend after washing off the blood was not unnatural," com mented the judge. "The first Impulse of a youngster who has done something which he should not have done is to run away or to hide the evidence of his wrong-doing, even If it be only a foray into a jam closet. He is afraid and has not the moral courage developed which would cause him to stand the conse quences of his act. "I do not believe the children had been fighting or that there was any quarrel. The boy admitted that he sometimes quarreled with Frank, but that they were usually on very good terms and that they happened to be so that day. All children thrown together quarrel more or less, but their affairs seldom, are serious. George Miller said Frank asked to see his father's auto matic pistol, which was kept on & high shelf, and that he obliged him and ex plained the mechanism asr best he could from having watched his father manip ulate the weapon. Boy Imitated Father's Actions. "While there was a loaded clip in the pistol, the father had taken care that there should be no shell in the cham ber. Ordinarily there would have been no accident from handling the gun in that condition. But the boy had seen his father slide back the top of the gun in ejecting loaded shells and ' demon strated how it was done to his chum. Sliding back the top cocked the pistol, and George .pointed it at his friend without knowing that the action of cocking had thrown a fresh shell Into the empty chamber. "The action in the Colt .45 is con cealed and no one not familiar with the weapon would have realized that cocking the gun had flung a shell up from the clip." The judge asked the lad how he would handle the pistol again, or any other kind of gun. "I'd leave it alone," returned George Miller, emphatically. Mother lk Ncrroni Breakdown. The boy's father was interrogated yesterday, and his mother, who was said to be on the verge of nervous prostration, will be interviewed today if her condition permits. Judge Kanzler has asked the father of tbe dead boy, J. C. McCauley. 241 Cook avenue, to appear before him today. Judge Kanzler reserves his final opinion until after interviewing all concerned, but said yesterday that his impression was that the boy had told the truth. If that Is his final belief, the court of domestic relations will take no action. The Miller boy killed his playmate last Monday and hid the body In the attic of his home, where it was not found until Wednesday night when young Miller's parents notioed blood stains on the ceiling of their bedroom. Meanwhile the city had been searched and the river dragged for the missing youngster. EXTRA PAY RATE RESUMES WESTERN TCXIOX KEYMEX TO GET BONUS ON SUNDAYS.
