said Dr. William Levin, who made
examinations of two of the ducks
at the state public health labor
atory here. He said the examina
tions so far made had failed
definitely to determine the cause
of the trouble, and that the exact
nature of the malady might never
be known. Dr. Levin said It had
been definitely learned that botul
inus was not the cause of the
ducks' illness.
One dead duck was brought
from southern Oregon, and one
duck suffering from the poisoning
also was biuuhiit. The latter
died at the laboratory.
Chemical analysis of the soil of
Tule lake showed the mud was
heavy with hydrogen Bulphide,
gas sufficiently poisonous to cause
the death of tho duck.s. But
whether the water also was af
fected by the gas was not de
termined, as samples sufficient
for chemical analysis had not
been sent to the state authorities,
It will be some days before a

Washington, 0t. 21. (A. P.)
Two American destroyers have
been ordered from Gibraltar to
Alexandria, Egypt, to remain in
readiness there for use in Syrian
ports should their presence becom
necessary for the protection of
American lives and property as a
result of the revolt by tribesmen
in that country.
Instructions wero cabled Vic-:
Admiral Roger Wells, command'
ing the European squadron, after
a request for the ships had be&n
received here from Paul Knab
shue, American consul in Beirut,
Syria.
State department officials arc
hopeful that it will not be neces
sary to move the ships from Alex
andria, but in any emergency
they would be within quick sailing
distance of Syrian ports.
Advices concerning the Syriaa
disturbances show that it centers
in the vicinity of Damascus. A
high mountain rango separates
Damascus and the Mediterranean
coast and for this reason it la be
lieved the revolt will not spread
lo the coastal regions to threaten
American life or property.
Admiral Wells' flagship, tho
Pittsburgh, was enroute from
Cherbourg to Gibraltar when the
nst ructions werq dispatched. It'
is due in Gibraltar probably to
day. Th? navy department left
to the judgment of Admirnl Wells
the ships which chould be sent to
Alexandria.

Airs. Charlotte Anitu Whitney,

Qucntin prison to serve a sentence
of from one to 14 years for a vio
lation of the state syndicalism act,
said bore today that she would not
apply for a pardon.
City Attorney V. J. Locke of
Alameda, who fathered the syndi
calism act in the lower bouse of
the legislature, while serving as a
member of that body, character
ized the conviction of Mrs. Whit
ney as a "mistake,"
I am not going to ask for a
pardon,'' said Mrs. Whitney. "If
the governor Is disposed to pardon
anyone let him liberate the poor
men who are now imprisoned for
a violation of this Bame law and
whose guilt may be less than
mine. He could more closely ap
proximate justice by pardoning
them than by extending a pardon
to me, a woman of money and in
fluence.'
As Mrs. Whitney was admitted
to bail on the testimony of physic
ians that incarceration In a prison
would be fatal to her, a group of
her friends here contemplated
asking the governor for a pardon
that basis. Otherwise any
other pardon appeal would have
to be signed by the prisoner.

Klamuth river in Siskiyou county
for utilization In mining and
hydro-electric power producing
project estimated to cost $10,

Details ot the project disclosed
at the office of tho division ot
water rights, show the project to
he one of the most unique on
record.
Balked by a state law prohibit
ing the construction ot dams on
certain stretches of the Klamath
river, the applicant plans to
divert part of the river flow
through tunnels, cutting across
two bends in the river. His plans
call for the taking of tho water at
the two points opening from tbo
river bed whence it would be car

Mouths of the tunnels would be

carried downward and emptied
into the river ngain at lower

permit development of a total ot
approximately 88,000 theoretical
horsepower, according to Park's
estimates.
In combination with the hidro
electric project the applicant
seeks permission to cut down the
flow of the river around the bends
cut off by the tunnels to about one
half the normal flow In order to
