Wealthy California Widow
Suspected Of Spy Activities

San Francisco, Jan .18.-Mrs. Helen
Nagel, wealthy widow of Tracy, Cal,
is being held today for investigation
by the department of justice in con
nection with the alleged spy activities
Of Count Franz Schlebrugge.
Schlebrugge, declared to be the son
Of the chief justice of the Bayarian
supreme court, when taken into custody
by federal officers, was found to have
in his possession letters from Mrs. Ma
gel showing that she had given him
$4,000 and that she was willing to give
him $40, 900 more. Although she was de-
tanned yesterday, the authorities have
surrounded the investigation of Mrs.
Nagel g case with the utmost secrecy.
This morning she was questioned by
Don Rathbon of the department of JUS
tice.
She told the officers that Schlebrugge
had told her some time ago that he
knew of a profitable investment and
urged her to loan him $4,000.
81 may need some more before the
matter is settled" she says Schle-
brugge stated.
She told him 100000 more would be
at his disposal for the deal.

Salem Water Company
Wins In Federal Court

The city of Salem has lost the first
round in its legal battle with the Sa-
lem Water, Light & Power company.
Judge Bean of the federal court Mon
day sustained the demurrer of the wa
ter company to defendants answer,
holding that the city had waived its
rights. The attorneys for the city will
file an amended answer, which will
also be treated the same as the orig
inal one by the court, as the same
waiver still exists, if it ever existed.
Then the case will go to the United
States court of appeals, where it is
expected the ruling of Judge Bean
will not be sustained.
The history of the case is as fol-
lows:
The original franElise of the water
company granted by the city of Sa-
lem provided that in consideration of
the rights and privileges given the
under the franchise it would
furnish the city water for its hydrants
at $l.S2 month. A few years ago the
city asked the railroad commission to
examine into and adjust its hydrant
rates, raising them if found too low
and lowering them if they were found
too high.
The commission raised the rates to
$3.50 a month. Later the company
presented its bill for $3.50 a month
and the council refused to pay it. The
Salem Water, Light & Power company
which had previous to this time in
corporated under the laws of Arizona,
presumably to prevent the Oregon
courts having jurisdiction over it,,
brought suit in the federal court. 1t
was in this case which has been in
the court for more than two years
that Judge Bean sustained the demur-
rer, which leaves the city a loser un-
less it can win on appeal. The main
contention is that the city council
could not waive the cities rights in
the manner in which it was claimed
this was done and that the railroad
commission had no power to change
the terms of a contract.
