TO DRAIN MONO
LAKE INTO OWENS
SILVER LAKE COMPANY MAKES
PROPOSITION
City Officials and Engineer koebis
Discuss Water Deal on Upper
End of Owens Aqueduct
Route

An executive session was held yes
terday by the board of public works,
Mayor Harper, Engineer Mulholland,
Counsel Chaffee of the aqueduct board
and A. H. Koebig, the engineer repre-
senting the Silver Lake Water and
Power comwpany.
Koebig's company is financed by
German capitalists, one of the stock
holders being a brewers son. 1t Is
claimed that S65, 1000 has been spent by
the company in Mono and Inyo coun-
ties and that $4,000 inches Of water are
controlled by the company.
The company has clashed with the
city at several points in the Owens
valley over water rights.
The Mono lake proposition is one en-
tirely out of the Owens scheme, how
ever, and 1t was on that feature that
the discussion hinged.
1t Is understood that Engineer Koe-
big offered to transfer water rights
for $4,000 and drop all litigation be-
sides over disputed claims.
The plan is to tunnel southwark from
Mono lake which could be emptied
into Long Valley reservoir thus CIV
ing the city an eternal flow at the ex-
IRENE upper end of the aqueduct route.
General Chaffee was an interested
President James A. Anderson of the
board also being present to narrate
the citys past experiences with the
Silver Lake country.
No decision was reached by the con-
ferees and none may be until after
Mayor Harper, General Chaffee and
the aqueduct board return from their
trip of inspection, starting next week
over the aqueduct route.

THOUSANDS
WAITING
PRISONER
MEMBER OF CHAIN GANG HEIR
TO FORTUNE
MUST LEAVE LOS ANGELES TO
GET CASH
Man Said by Police to Be All Around
Crook VIII Receive Large
Sum from Mothers
Estate

William Allen, serving 1870 days in
the city jail on a conviction of petit
larceny is heir to $4,000 estate and
now he wants to get out of jail and go
back to New York to enjoy the money.
Because of the fact that he has sew
eral other charges hanging over his
head and the Los Angeles police refuse
to release him except under certain
conditions Allen will not be able to
leave the local prison for some time
| to come.
| Allen was arrested three months
| ago for stealing postage stamps, over
coats pencils, small change and any
| thing else that he was able to lay
| hands on In various office buildings
| His speciality is said to be sneak THEW
| ing and accordingly to the police he is
an eminent success.
He was convicted on one charge and
| sentenced to 100 days in Jail. Yester-
| day he received word from the ad-
ministrator of his mothers estate that
there was $4,000 in cash and twice that
amount in real property coming to
him and that 1t would be available
within a few weeks or as soon as the
surrogate's court got through with 1t.
Allen at once sent out for a local
money broker and made proposition
that the broker put up the money to
| get him out of jail. He offered note
for $500 with interest at 10 per cent
per month for the use of $3.50 and the
broker agreed to advance the money
The police, however. stated the only
way Allen would be released was to put
him on a train and send him out OF
town at once. AS this, in some man
ner, would interfere with the plans OF
the broker, that worthy declined to put
up the money and Allen must noev re-
main in Jail until the administrator
and the New York courts send him
some cash.
Allen is said by the police to be q
! former convict and a general all
| around bad man.
