OF Great Flood.

Los Angeles Calf, Nov. 1S.-The
decision rendered by County Superior
Judge Houser gave the Southern Pa
cific company judgment for nearly
a million and half dollars and that
corportion is now practically in
control of the destinies of the rich I'm
perial valley. The suit was brought
against the California Development
company for payment OF a number
of promisory notes given by officers
of the development company. The
money was advanced in notes and
was used at the time of the disas-
trous flood of the Colorado river
when Salton sink was filled and much
of the development company's prop
erty inundated.
At the time the money was bor-
rowed the Southern Pacific entered
into a contract for development of
the land providing the railroad could
appoint three members of the direc-
torate of the development, with the
additional privilege of naming the
president. The president was em-
powered to appoint the executive Off

PANAMA CANAL WILL
INCREASE S. A. TRADE

Washington, Nov. 13.-The compile
ton of the Panama canal and the
opening of the Mississippi to extern
sive traffic will have the result, say
Latin American diplomats, of great
ly increasing the trade between Cen
trail and South America and the Uni
ted states. Reports from st. Louis
say that dinner will be held in that
city tonight, at which all the consuls
will be in attendance, with the idea
of getting share of this new trade
for the Missouri metropolis New
Orleans, Mobile and other southern
cities are also alive to the advantages
to be derived from an increase of
trade with Latin America. 1t is not
too much to say, allege those famil-
lar with conditions, that the improv-
ed facilities for water traffic will
mean a new era for the states of the
Gulf coast and the Mississippi valley.

prevailed during the day, it is still two

walks Of the city while on the fields
and hills adjacent it is from four to
six inches deep.

Paris, Nov. 13.-The entire session
of the Steinheil murder trial yester-
Say was taken up with an impassion-
ed plea by Advocate General Trouard
for the conviction OF the woman who
is charged with having killed her
husband and her stepmother.
The prosecutor showed neither pity
nor mercy in his address TO the jury.
He painted the accused woman in the
blacklist OF colors-as a born liar,
and as one whose whole life. before
and after the crime, Justified the pre-
sumption OF guilt. He developed the
theory that after the rich and gener-
Gus lover, Chouanard, abandoned her
in 1907, Nine. Steinheil realized she
was almost at the end OF her tether
and that when she got Maurice Bor-
delol in her clutches she was determ-
ined to hold him even at the price Of
murder.
Insists Story Is Myth.
The prosecution insisted that Nine.
Steinheil's story that burglars COM
mitted the crime was a myth; and
he undertook to reconstruct the
scenes that actually happened, claim
ing that while the accused woman
and her accomplices were tying Nine.
Japy, NJ. Steinheil was aroused by the
noise and jumped out of bed.
Thereupon they attacked and killed
him and, returning to Mms. Japy's
room, found her in bad fright.
M. Truard Riolle undertook to ac-
count for the stopping of the clock
in the Steinheil home after the mur-
der, advancing the theory that Nine.
Steinheil in her anguish could not en-
dure the ticking. An expert testified
during the trial that the clock had
been stopped by hand as 1t was being
wound up.
The argument of M. Thouard Riolle
left the impression that the testimony
upon which 1t was based was TOO
