TH[LEN TO PRESENT CALIFORNIA
 VIEW IN RA|LRO VALUATIONS
ssiOn's contentious.

fOrnia commissions contentious.
 Congress in 1913 passed the federal valuation act. directing the interstate commerce commission to make a valu- alton of every railroad subject to it's jurisdiction The commission invited a discussion of the fundamental prin- ciples of valuation to he followed in that work. The railroads took advan- tage of this invitation and filed brief laying down principles of valuation which according to the California comrlssion. would result in a very high value being placed on railroad property.
 The California commission holds in it's brief that congress has not directed the interstate commerce commission to make any ultimate finding of the valuA of the property of any common carrier, but to ascertain and list all such prop ertT and to report the elements of value which have bearing on the ques- ton of ultimate value.
 The course ordered by congress, the brief points out, is that followed by the California commission in it's railroad valuations since March 23, 1912.
 Tie brief draws attention specifical- ly to the fact that the valuation act does not state any purpose for which a value is to be found: that a value for one purpose may not serve for another purpose. and that. in the absence of such direction the interstate com merce commission can make no ulti- mate finding of value.
 i Thelen and six commissioners of va rious other states are members of the i physical valuation committee of the 1 National Association of Railroad Com missioners.

It was also intimated at the em- bassy that if von Papen had paid money to Hans Adam von Wedill, i'm dicted in New York for an alleged passport fraud, it had been to assist him legally Von Weddil fled after being indicted.
 Officials of the state department have indicated that it was important | to know whether the payment to Horn was made before or after the explo- sion. German officials have repeatedly denied responsibility for the action of | Horn, saying they never heard of him ! until after he had been arrested State department officials have intimated l that evidence which would prove Horn received money from q German source before he blew up the bridge might re- | suit in diplomatic correspondence with Berlin.
 In official and diplomatic circles
 much interest was shown today in ad ditional details regarding the docu ments taken from Captain von Papen, which purported to show that pay ments were made to Paul KoeniG, the
