GOVERNOR REFUSES T0 LET MURDOCH
 LEAVE THE STATE

L. Murdoch, now being held in Tue son and wanted in Los Angeles, is still one lap ahead of the California offi- cers In his fight against extradition Governor Hunt yesterday decided to hold up the matter for a few days pending the receipt of certain papers which Murdoch claims will clear him.
 Murdoch, it is alleged, rented an automobile in Los Angeles for $20 a week. He had the machine a week when it is claimed that both Murdoch and the machine disappeared. He was later apprehended at Ajo, where the Arizona end of the story starts.
 Upon Murdoch being located in Ajo, Sheriff Forbes, of Pima county was informed of the fact and handed a warrant to go after him. For some reason or other Forbes did not want to arrest him. but after sufficient pres sure had been brought to bear, he consented and apprehended the man.
 Murdoch's story is that he bought the machine and that he has a bill of sale for it. He claims that he is not the man who rented the machine, in spite of the fact that all identification marks of the man who did rent the machine, jibe with Murdoch
 Holding that mere identification is not enough to allow a man to be taken l from the state, the governor is holding up the eXtradition. The California officers are rather incensed over the matter, claiming that if Murdoch is in- nocent, as he claims, he would gladly go back and positively prove that he is not the man who rented the auto. During the hearing before Governor Hunt yesterday morning, Sheriff Forbes called the governor, who evi- dently fearing to disclose some state secret over the phone, refused to talk with him at that time, but told him that he would call later.
 One of the damaging pieces of evi- dence against Murdoch is that he took out a California license in the name o1 "J. F. Brown" Murdoch claims that his reason for this is that Brown was the man he purchased the machine of

POWER FIRM BUCKS AND
CITY MAY LOSE SERVICE
Required to Pay Water Deposit Com.
pany Demands Like Payment,
but Is Denied.

The city of Olympia will not have
electric lights for the city hall or
power with which to operate the mu-
nicipal waterworks pumping plant
unless it pays the Olympia Light &
Power company deposit Of $3.50 or
else does not require deposit of Sc
or 81 from the company for it's water
bill, according to Manager l.. B.
Faulkner.
The company's demand for a de-
posit was presented to the council
Tuesday night ana was disallowed
on motion of Councilman Yauger.
The company does not require such
deposit from all its customers, US
ing it's discretion in that respect, but
Manager Faulkner explained to the
city officials that inasmuch as the
city had required deposit from his
company for it's water bill, the COM
pany would do the same thing with
the city on its light and power bus
mess. The street lighting system is
not involved, as that is handled un-
der q contract which specifies when
and how payments shall be made.
There has been considerable oppo-
sition to the city's requirement that
water users having meters must pay
q deposit of the estimated amount
of their monthly bill, and several
have refused to do SO. If the city
shuts OF our water, we will shut OF
its light" was the way Manager
Faulkner stated the situation from
the company's standpoint.

GRAND MOUND GETS
THE PACIFIC HIGHWAY
STATE BOARD SETTLES CONTRO-
vERSY OVER TENINO-CEN-
TRALIA ROUTE.

With State Highway Commissioner
James Allen favoring the Bucoda
route because 1t is three miles short
er, the state highway board Monday
established the road from Tenino
through Grand Mound to Centralia
as the official route Of the Pacific
highway between Tenino and Cen
tralia. thus ending controversy that
has been waged for some years.
When the Pacific highway was
originally laid out. the route between
Olympia and Centralia followed what
is known as the middle road, not
touching Tenino but going via Grand
Mound; but when w. Dean Hays Of
Tenino represented this county in the
lower house Of the legislature, he
succeeded in changing the route 80
that it would pass through Tenino'
though its location between that city
and Centralia was left unsettled.
The fact that two bad railroad
crossings would have to be eliminated
IL the Bucoda road were chosen was
given as the principal reason for the
designation of the Grand Mound road
as the Official route, by three OF the
four members of the highway board.
The Grand Mound route would be
cheaper. II was said, not only for this
reason but also because Lewis county
has put in a hard surface pavement
up to the Thurston county line, and
the entire road Is practically COM
pleted, with the exception OF top
ping"
The designation Of the route Of the
Pacific highway was made at the re-
quest of the local county commits
sioners, so that they may proceed
with construction work.

CITY LOSES AL AROUND
IN SUITS OVER MOTOR
May Appeal Case to Compel Old Wa
/ ter Company to Pay for Equip
ment.

Turned down on all sides by the
superior court in its efforts to rec
ompense itself for the $3.50 it has
to pay the Westinghouse Electric
company for the motor at the munic-
ipal waterworks pumping station
the city is now considering the ad-
visibility of appealing to the state
supreme court it's suit to recover
this amount from the Washington
Public Service company.
The city first sought to make the
Westinghouse company q party 10
the original condemnation suit,
which, II successful, would have
produced payment for the motor out
OF the money paid in under the
court decision. Failing In that, II
that, It tried to compel c. ]. LORD,
receiver for the old company, to pay
for it. but again failed; and In the
meantime it had sought to retain IN
its possession some $500 it owed the
old water company. but the court
said it could not do 80.
The city's contention throughout
was that the motor was included In
the inventory of the company's as
sets. upon which the decision in the
condemnation suit was based, and
that therefore it had already paid
for the motor. The Westinghouse
company, however. showed thai
there was fled of record at the aud
itor's ofilce an unsatisfied condition
al bill Of sale. showing that the ole
company had not owned the motor
and 80 could not sell It; the receiver
contended that the affair did no
concern his management of the con
cern.
The council Tuesday night debated
