hundred and forty-elght acres on Red
Rock creek, Montana; 1927 acres on
Clark ford, Montana and Idaho; 1854

DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY
JUDGMENT is GRANTED FOR
S1,4O5.927.43
MONEY USED IN RECLAMATION
OF IMPERIAL VALLEY
Case Submitted to Judge Houser oc-
tober After Three Months
Trial Will Be Carried to
Supreme Court

Hy HE suit Of the Southern Pacific
company against the California
Il Development company, in which
the former corporation sought to re-
cover 81 ,405, ,927.43 loaned to the develop
ment company on notes and expended
in the work of damming the COLORADO
river, making possible the redemption
of desert land in the Imperial valley,
was decided in favor of the railroad
company by Judge Houser OF the supe-
rior court yesterday.
The case was submitted to Judge
Houser October 2 after trial lasting
more than three months. That yester-
DAYS decision does not mean a nnal
disposition of the case was Indicated
by attorneys carrying on the legal
battle in behalf of the development
company, who stated preparations Tor
an appeal would Immediately be made.
The case was the outgrowth OF rela-
tions between the Southern Paclnc
company and the California Develop"
ment company in controlling the
waters of the Colorado river and pre-
venting their overflow from inundating
the Imperial valley.
Offset of 100000
The development company, 1T was
claimed by the Southern Paclhc, Dor
roWed sums of money aggregating
much larger amount than that sued
for. the offset being an item of S9OO,OOO
worth of property turned over to the
railroad company by the development
company in the course of the work.
A large number of stockholders or
the development company appeared IN
the action as intervenors, claiming
the notes on which the suit was
brought were null and void and the
entire transaction was Illegal because
the officers and directors executing the
notes were named by the railroad.
Claim S. p. Benefited
n was also contended by attorneys
renresenting the development company
that a large part of the expenditure by
the railroad corporation after 1t took
control of the development company
as security for a loan of 100000 bene-
fited the Southern Pacific, being used
in the repair of the Yuma dam, and
that other large sums were expended
on property belonging to the Mexican
company, a subsidiary concern with
holdings below the Mexican line. rms
II was claimed by the development
corporation's attorneys, was a diver
sion of the funds from the purpose for
which they were borrowed.
Former Judge John d. Works, lead
ing counsel for the development COM
pany during the trial. stated last night
that while he had not consulted win
the directors of the company he felt
certain an appeal would be made TO
the supreme court as soon as possible
Judge Houser's decision was con-
tanned in a minute order. no written
decision being handed down.

rBy Associated Press

NEW YORK. Nov. 12.-After months
of quiet work by the government IN
yestigators who have been scrutlnlzlng
the ins and outs of the complicated
sugar frauds, there came suddenly To-
dav the indictment and arrest OF an
important former official of the Amer

conspiracy to defraud the government
by false weighing of sugar.
The man arrested is James r. BEN

previously indicted on similar charges.
The six were Bendernagle's associates
in the capacity of agents and boss
weighers at the Williamsburg plant.
The specific charges against Bender
nagle are that he defrauded the gov
ernment out of duty to the amount or
1854 in connection with the false en-
