URGE COOPERATION BETWEEN AUTO MEN Why not have dealers who are agents and dealers who are not agents cooperate in connection with cars sold by the former and repaired by the latter? This is the question around which most of the discussion centered last night at the monthly meeting in the Elks' clubhouse of the motor car dealers of the Orange County Auto Trades Association. Nearly forty were present. Four or five dealers here who have sold cars repaired at garages other than their own have suffered lately by the lack of cooperation such as was urged, one dealer-agent said today. The dealer-agents believe they should be informed by repair dealers when a car, particularly a used-car, which they have sold is about to be overhaul. The repair dealer is well protected, they maintain, but they are not, altho they still may have several hundred dollars equity in the car. The speaker of the evening, a representative of the L. C.

F. Ahlborn; Secretary H. E. Hewis, both of the committee, and George C. Bates were appointed a committee to confer with Attorney Horace C. Head of Santa Ana regarding the legal questions involved. The action came after a long discussion, aroused chiefly by the report of the committee on the pit method of conservation, consisting F.

Collins J.J. Dwyer and George C.Bates, whose report was read by Bates. This committee in order to bring matters to a head, added to its report a recommendation that an association of water users be formed "to finance this test pit (described below), furnish data to those considering new wells, assist in getting reasonable power rates, compile data pertaining to existing wells and pumping plants, finance and supervise the spreading of water on the lower Santa Ana river and Santiago creek, finance and supervise preliminary work in the selection of suitable sites for storage reservoirs, and other necessary measures to further the common interests. And that this association be so organized that it can own real estate and can do all necessary things up to the time a legal district can be formed to conserve water, construct necessary storage reservoirs and control flood waters." The report itself was merely received and placed on file for future action if action is desired. That part of the report referring to the spreading of water from the Santa Ana river and Santiago creek did not precisely coincide with the apparent sense of the meeting, which favored the spreading of muddy waters from the river and conserving clear water by pits along the creek. The type of pit or shaft favored by Collins' committee was modified from the sort originally planned, in that tunnels would be constructed bothways from its bottom. The modification is due principally to the advice of the late H. Clay Kellogg, engineer of the Anaheim Union Water Co. The committee said in its report on the pit method: That the plan was feasible only for clear water; that muddy water in flood time must be effectively shut out or a large enough settling basin provided to allow the water to settle; that the length of the tunnels both ways at the bottom of the pit depends on the gravel bed; that one pit along the Santiago creek should be used; that both the spreading and pit methods should be used only to conserve waters in flood time that otherwise would run to waste to the ocean. Collins' committee, further, conceded that the land bordering the Santa Ana river from the Yorba bridge to the Olive bridge would absorb several inches of clear water if properly spread and that on account of the experience in the flood of 1916 this water directly affects wells to the laid late yesterday by the Water Conservation Committee of growers when after a vote Chairman J.F.

When the jurors filed into the courtroom this morning, Mrs. De Mott requested Court Clerk Rugby Ross to deliver a message to her husband. In this message Mrs. De Mott informed her husband that she would not be home tonight. This indicated that Mrs. De Mott expects to hold out unchangeable and perhaps cause a permanent deadlock. Mrs. W.

In the meantime Burch remained serene and smiling. According to indications in the courtroom the two women holding out for acquittal were making their stand on the claim that the prosecution failed to show beyond all reasonable doubt that Burch was in Beverly Glen on the night of the murder. The insanity phase of the case, it was rumored ,was sidetracked by the jurors in their arguments over the straight question of whether the prosecution had made out a case against Burch. During the day Judge Reeve was expected to poll the jury asking the jurors how they stood in numbers without stating whether the majority was for or against conviction. Unless a verdict is reached before five o'clock, Judge Reeve said, the jury will be required to continue their deliberation until 10 o'clock tonight, at least. STERN SENTENCED TO SAN QUENTIN S. M.
