City of Los Angeles Wins in
Contest for Possession of
Power Site on Owens
River.

The city of Los Angeles won a deci-
slVe victory in the United States Dis
trict court in San Francisco yesterday
when jury fixed the amount of $685.
600 as the price that city should pay
for the Owens River gorge property
of the Southern Sierras Power COM
pany in connection with its municipal
power project. The verdict was re-
turned after a hearing condemnation
proceedings.
The power company opposed the
condemnation proceedings on the
ground that it needed the 800 acres
JIM question to supply the future de-
4. mands of Riverside, Redlands, San
Bernardno and the Imperial Valley
towns which it served, but the court
F.. held that Los Angeles had right to
condemn even though the other cities
were deprived of this source of cleo
trio power.
The municipality contended that the
Southern Sierras company had other
sources of power in Leevining and
Bishop creeks.
1t was agreed that no value attach
to the land itself, the riparian water
rights alone being considered. The
value was as of February 8, 1920, the
date the municipality filed the suit,
and no damages were allowed for the
Adams power plant which the COM
pany has just begun to construct on
the property. The plant is in opera
ton at present. The rights were
bought by the Southern Sierras short
ly before the filing of the suit from
the Mono Power company for $500, 900.
Two engineers testifying for the pow
err company fixed the value at $722,-
600 and 100000.
Findings in the case will be handed
down by the court within ten days.

WILL EST0P
OPERATION
KING TAX
LAW
Railroad Secure Order Com
pelling State to Show
Cause Why Measure
Should Not Be Declared
Invalid.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 18.-The
state board of equalization and the
state controller are ordered to appear
on June % and show cause why the
operation of the King tax bill should
not be enjoined. The order was issued
by the Federal court following the ac-
ton of two railroads in attacking the
constitutionality Of the measure.
Separate com plants to = have the
state enjoined from putting into oper-
alton the provision of the King tax
bill, on the ground that it is in viola
ton of the federal constitution, were
filed in the United States court by
the Southern Pacific company and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
company. 't2n
The petitions contend that the legis-
lature has no power to reclassify the
railroad companies as between steam
and electric carriers and that there
fore the entire raise of 3-4 per cent
is invalid. They hold also that the leg
islature made no appraisal of railroad
properties on which to base an in
crease and that the law restricts the
manner in which relief from excessive
taxation may be obtained by the rail-
roads, whereas there are no such re-
strictions on the private taxpayers.
A statement by the companies said
that the action is not designed to
stop all payment of railroad tax UNI
der the present methods but simply
to have the King bill increase sus-
pended until such time as the courts
can decide whether such increase was
justified.

clude practically all of the most mod
ern capital ships of the navy.

WEAVER NOT RESPONSIBLE

The green reporter slipped one over
yesterday when he wrote the story on
the board of equalization and re-
ferrcd to the lavish and free handed
manner in which the county assessor
had dealt out values to the taxpayer.
The green reporter unintentionally
did Assessor Wiley M. Weaver an in
Justice Mr.. Weaver has always
fought high property assessments and
many is the row he has had with the
board of supervisors for fitting the
valuations he has placed on property
for taxation purposes. The present
high tax values on Imperial county
property is chiefly due to the arbitrary
action Of the board of equalization re-
vising Mr.. Weaver's figures upward

QUEER TANGLE IN
IRRIGATION FIGHT

One of the most interesting ques-
lions that will come before the direc-
tors of the Imperial Irrigation District
at their meeting next Tuesday will be
the disposition of the recall petition
directed against j. Stanley Brown,
which has been found correct and so
certified by Secretary McIver.
According to one construction "a
the law pertaining to such case the
directors can do but one thing, call a
recall election at which the question
can be voted upon. Opponents Of the
recall movement say that now that
Roy Breedlove is in the place former
ly occupied by Brown that the direc-
tors may take the stand that Brown
is no longer director of the district
and therefore cannot be recalled.

HINDU POSING
FOR EFFECT ON
JURY CHARGED
Murder Trial is Also Scene of
Merriment as Medical Er-
perts Undergo Examination.

The insanity plea which defense at
torneys are trying to substantiate in
the trial Of Gaudet Singh, accused
murderer, received something Of a
setback this morning when DR.. F. w.
Peterson and DR.. C. S. Brooks testi-
fled that in their opinion the defendant
was shamming during yesterdays SEES
sion of the case.
Throughout the day the Hindu
maintained pose which many spec
tators believed indicative of a weak
ened mind. He started vacantlv about
the court room, apparently oblivicus
of what was going on around him, and
almost all day he clutched at the right
side of his chest as if in pain. He also
manifested other indications of one
who was mentally unbalanced, which
the physicians declared to have been
feigned.
Spectators snickered, the judge
smiled and the jurors laughed aloud
when DR.. Brooks launched into long
techpical explanation of the effects
on the brain of wound to another
part OF the body. Attorney John Berry
sought to learn from, the witness how
a wound to another part of the body
would affect the brain. The witness
stated that it would have no effect and
upon being asked practically the same
question again he used mass of
technical terms that mean nothing to
anyone other than physician. The
discontinue of the attorney highly
amused everyone in the court room
who heard the verbal set-to between
witness and counsel.
Judge Cole, Deputy Sheriffs Weir
and Cummings and R. Samada testi-
fled that the defendant appeared ra-
tional while in their presence prior to
the trial. DR.. Frances Elliott explained
the effects on the brain of diseases and
the possibility of insanity resulting
from such a cause.
DR.. Victor Parking and DR.. w. B.
Kern, alienists of Los Angeles, will
be the star witnesses for the prosecu-
ton Monday. The prosecution ex-
poets to prove by their testimony that
the Hindu is not insane and that he
was not at the time of the Staying.
