Legal Advice Is Given COun-

In spite of the adverse position TAX
en- by the Board of Supervisors, the
county bill, which provides for raise
in salary to many deputie sand addi-
tional delp for county departments
and offices, will be sent to Sacrament
to for enactment by the state legis-
lature.
This move in the face of the criti-

commissioners was decided on by va
rious department chiefs today follow
ing the receipt of legal advice that the
supervisors have no power or author
ity in the matter.
The law places responsibility for the
matter in the hands of the grand jury,
which has already approved the bill
as embodying it's recommendations.
The next legal step is the transmits
sion of the bill to the representative
from this district for introduction be-
fore the legislature.
Several courthouse officials de-
clared that bun one supervisor had
been open in opposition to the bill
and that the remainder, by failing to
approve the measure, had simply
adopted a policy of "hands off" rath-

themselves open to charges OF dis

Washington, Jan. 9.-American
and Allied operationsain Russia are
friendly, not hostile, to the Russian
people, although in opposition to the
German Bolshevik forces, Chairman
Hitchcock of the Senate foreign re-
lations committee said in an address
today, replying to the recent demand
of Senator johnson of California for
an official statement of the Ameri-
can policy in Russia.
"There is no Russia" Senator
Hitchcock said What was Russia
is a vast, disorganized aggregation
of local governments"
Senator Hitchcock gave details of
the American operations, saying we
sent 10000 men to Vladivostok and
about 5000 to Archangel and Muir
mansk. Those landing at Vladivo-
stock are for the most part still there.
hTose landing at Archangel and Muir
mansk, while still holding those ports
in connection with the British and
French, have penetrated probably 100
miles inland as measure of protec-
ton. In all cases the occupation OF
Russian ports was made as war
measure urged by the supreme war

AGAINST LAND
co. OFFICERS
HELD VALID.

Latest developments in the hear
ing of charges against officers OF
the Delta Land and Water Company
"a case of decided local interest
are contained in the following ad-
vices from Los Angeles:
"For the first time in the recent
history of the local Federal court,
an attempt was made yesterday to
show the insufficiency of the evil
dence that resulted in the Indictment
OF certain individuals by the grand
jury. A motion to quash the indict-
ment was denied by Judge Trippet.
"Not only was the claim made that
the testimony did not warrant the
indictment, but members of the Fed
eral grand jury, which sat in Octo-
ber, 1917, were summoned to prove
the contention that the Indictment
later on returned against Walter l.
Moody, George A. Snow, Henry B.
Prouty, Charles E. Arnold, Lloyd
Sigler, Arthur P. Moran, Mart Ad-
son and Gertrude P. Holmes, charged
with using the mails to defraud in
connection with the affairs of the
Delta Land and Water Company
was based on inadequate evidence.
Herbert J. Gouge, Joseph L. Lew
insohn of this city and H. C. Allen
of Salt Lake represented the de-
PENDANTS, and W. Fleet Palmer, the
district attorneys office.
although the motion to quash the
Indictment was denied, Prof. Julius
Koebig was allowed to testify as to
his qualifications to appear as a
witness before the jury in the role
of expert on the subject of soils. Pro-
fessor Koebig had testified before the
grand jury regarding the soil in Utah
where land was sold to many colo
nists who now claim that false rep
resentations were made in regard to
the character of the area from an ag-
riculturfal standpoint. Professor
Koebig said he had been making an
alyses of soils in Los Angeles since
1883, and that seemed to satisfy the
court as to his competency to testify
as an expert.

ment." =

Pickering, Alleged Bad Man
and Thief, Ordered Held
to Trial for Embezzle-
ment of Auto.

In hearing held in Superior court
yesterday afternoon, Judge Franklin
j. Cole denied the writ of habeas cor
pus brought by Attorney Clarence
B. Conlin for the release from Gus
tody of Clarence Pickering, held in
the county Jail on an embezzlement
charge.
The complaining witness was the
head of a for-hire auto stand in Los
Angeles who alleged that Pickering
and companion. whose name is not
known, paid $25 for touring car for
a trip to the beaches. Several days
time elapsed and the next he heard
of the car was that it was recovered
by local officers at the time of Pick
ering's arrest on Monday.
Pickering is alleged to have made
an attempt to hold up N. H. Nor
ton, manager of the Imperial Valley
Motor Company, and to have been an
accomplice in the theft of tire from
that establishment. He was caught
,by Mr.. Norton, although his compan-
ion escaped.
Attorney Conlin made hard fight
to secure the release of his client,
but was unsuccessful. He contended
that under the law the judge of the
court in which the writ is sought is
compelled to either issue writ or
investigate the case thoroughly be-
fore making his decision.
Under this contention, the COM
planning witness was placed on the
stand and it was on his testimony
that Pickering, who is about 26 years
old. was ordered held.
Although peace officers throughout
the county are on the lookout for
Pickering's companion, no trace OF
him has been found. He made his
escape from the motor company's es-
tablishment by taking to his heels
The police believe the pair are cou-
Pile of professional holdup and bad
men. "
