Mrs. Wiseman to Undergo

(United News Correspondent)
LOS ANGELES, O ct 13.— A
woman who claims to have brok
en bread with Almee Semple Mc
Pherson and slept in the evange
list’s bed, resumed her recital to
day o f the damning details of the
"Miss X.” hoax, perpetrated, thv
state declares, by the famous Bi
ble teacher and her eo-defend-
ants.
Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman, who
two months ago, was hailed by
the evangelist as the savior of
her name and fortune, has come
back, a Nemesis, and from her
willing lips District Attorney Asa
Reyes win draw the final chap
ters of the elleged hoax to vlndl-
cate Mrs. McPherson and save
her nams from public scandal.
The case is expected to reach-Its
most hitter climax lata today
whan It Is understood that ‘De
fense Attorney W. I. Gilbert'will
precede his cross examination
with an attempt to' show the
"hoax woman” la an Incompe
tent. wltnees because of her com
mitment to a Utah insane asylum
In 1915.
Move Wit n o ses
This step by the defense may
bring more witnesses Into the
hearing than first contemplated.
Her attorney, 8. 8. Hahn, de
clared Tuesday that Mrs. Wise
man’s sister, Mrs. T nia Lee Ktri-
all, told him she was confined
in the Institution as an Incorri
gible and not as an Insane per
son as Gilbert charged Monday.
Mrs. Kimball may testify to
that effect, Hahn. said.
Mrs. McPherson broke ths
monotony of court proceedings
by motoring out to the "big
rock,” near Santo Monica for a
dip In the snrf. It was stated. |
The fact that she was not at the
temple linked her qame with the
appearance of “another Ormls-
ton” near the 8anta Ana branch
of Angeles temple Tuesday.
Another Suspect
The sheriff’s office was noti
fied that a man resembling Ken
neth O. Ormlston, missing radio
operator and co-defendant, was
seen meeting a woman driving
an antomobtle, but no trace of
the pair was found by authori
ties.
(DILLARD'S BtPOBT—Continued)
The development of Ashland Canyon has been
the most often considered in.the past and has much
to commend it. The survey work heretofore done in
Ashland Canyon has been a valuable aid in working
out this rport and is well worth its cost.
Various storage sites have been considered and
preliminary estimates made. These estimates show
that a dam constructed just below Reed Gulch ap
pears to be the chea])est for the required capacities,
considering the cost of the dam only. ‘ This site has
not been given serious consideration at this time
however, as it would interfere with your municipal
power plant, and we have not had sufficient time to
work out the best future policy for. your power plant.
To the cost of the dam should be added thè
cost necessary to rearrange the powef pipe line so
as to maintain the present* capacity' if possible, and
any loss of power should be capitalized and charged
against thè reservoir. There is also another serious
objection at this time to this site, and that is the
intakes to your pipe lines are located above this
site and consequently there might not lie a sufficient
flow of water passing through the site at all times
to keep ¿the impounded water fresh and prevent
stagnation.
Of the other sites, one just below the forest
ranger station and one about 2000 feet below the
Winbum cabin seem to be about equal. The estimate
of cost of a dam in Ashland canyon used in this
report, is on the Ranger Station site, for the reason
that we are most sure at this time of bed rock con
dition here.
It has been shown that the present daily con
sumption in Ashland is 325 gallons per capita, with
practically no supply available for irrigation of
lawns and gardens. We are informed by your water
superintendent that a continuous flow of 6 second
feet will just nicely care for your needs without
restricted use. This is1 a daily per capitp use of about
670 gallons.
Table No. 2 gives the combined flow of the east
and west forks of Ashland Creek for the climatic
year of 1925-26, together with the storage required
to insure a continuous flow of 6 second feet and 9
second feet. It is shown that 530 acre feet are re
quired to insure'a minimum flow of 6 second feet,
the amount which yohr water superintendent states
just nicely meets your present Wants under your
present method of distribution, which appears to call
for a daily per capita use of 670 gallons.
In other words, you can build a dam up Ashland
Canyon and store 530 acre feet and cure your pres
ent shortage, but no excess will be provided for the
future growth of your city; or you could bring in the
South. Fork spring at a cost of $650,000 by selling 30-
year bonds and provide for a population of 8700
people, with your present daily per capita use.
By constructing regulating reservoirs, eliminat
ing waste, and providing irrigation water for use
on the orchards and small tracts when possible, you
should easily be able tò reduce your daily per capita
to 400 gallons. On this basis, a continuous flow of
6 second feet would supply a population of 10,000
people and'likewise a minimum flow of 9 secopd feet
would supply 15,000 people.
