United Stages, Inc Wins Long Drawn Out Legal Suit
UNITED STAGES
GIVEN 10 DAYS !
CLOSE AFFAIRS
No Damages Awarded
In Famous Bus
Litigation

After trial lasting three days,
the case of the United Stages, Inc,
againsiss Frederick Ernsting ct al,
also known rs the United Stages,
came to a close Yesterday after
noon, the decision being given by
JIdge John w. Shenk in favor OF
the plaintiffs.
BY the terms of the decision, n
permanent injunction is granted the
plaintiff against the defendants
E.rnsting, Hadley, +. c. Willis, c.
G. Willis, and Frank Hawk. The
injunction is effective in .me1iately,
though 10 Jay stay of execution
is granted in order to enable the
defendants to close up their business
affairs.
The complaint against William
Whittle, also named as a defendant.
is dismissed. The plaintiff will take
nothing for damages asked for under
cross complaint, Nrd it is Slso
rlered that the plaintiff take
nothing from the defendants Moore.
Cpdegraff and McClung.
The litigation between the Unit
ed Stages, Inc, and the United
Stages, has been in the courts for
several wears. Following 4 decision
by Judge Conkling last spring adj
vising that he could see no reason
why Ernsting and the other defend
ants could not operNse stage line
in Imperial Valley, the Urited
Stages began such operation be-
| tween Brawley, Calexico and inter-
mediate points.
Much Involved Case
| This action was followed by an
order from the state railroad com
mission conn anding the United
| Stages to discontinue their opera
tions. This they refused to do, and
the district attorney filed criminal
complaints against the drivers cper-
lting under the name Omitted
Stages. These complaints. were
subsequently dismissed, and new
complaints were issued which have
! not yet been heard. In the mean
time, the United Stage, Inc, filed
complaint in the superior court,
| asking that the United Stages be
! enjoined from operating, and be
| compelled to comply with the regula-
tions and order of the railroad com
| mission.
Attorney Robert G. Hill, counsel
for the United Stages, stated today
that he will appeal the decision Civ
en- by Judge Shenk, and added that
he has only begun to fight. Far
| from being depressed because of the
F! adverse decision, Hill said he will
keep on fighting in the courts no
| matter how long it takes.
The disbarment charges preferred
| against Attorney. Hill by S. w.
Thompson, attorney for the United
! Stages, Inc, were dismissed when
the ease was called before Judge
! ShenS this morning. The charges
grew out of the litigation between
the United States and the United
| Stages, Inc.

BALDWIN REGIME
T0TTERS; LABOR
PARTY IS AHEAD
Resignation of Premier
Almost Certain In
Few Days
By LLOYD ALLEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Dee. 7.-TTnexpected
gains by Labor in the general elec-
ton made Premier Baldwin g
chances of obtaining majority in
parliament appear hopeless this at
ternoon.
Coupled with gains registered in
between 20 and 80 constituencies by
the Liberals, headed by Lloyd
George, the Labor sweep rendered
defeat of the Conservative proposal
for tariff an apparent certainty.
With results from 200 constitu-
encies vet to be heard from, it ap-
peared the Conservatives would lead
with Labor and the Liberals i'll close
race for second, and no party OBJ
tanning a majority large enough to
elect a premier and control parlia
ment. 4--e
At , p. m. the Conservatives ha6
won POI seats, the Labor party l3l
and the Liberals 100, with ten scat
tered. This was a total of 442 out
of 615 to be filled.
Labor candidates had scored 9
net gain of 32 seats, Liberals %
while the Conservatives net loss
was "a.
Stanley Baldwin will resign as
premier within dey or so unless
some almost inconceivable develop
ment gives the Conservatives a ma
jority.
Some form of coalition govern
ment will have to be fixed up.
For Baldwin S government to re
main in, the Conservatives would
have to secure 67 of the remaining
ia seats, which was practically i'm
possible.
One of the striking features OF
the defeat of Baldwin, who mus
now resign, was that labor candi
dates, standing on a platform of q
levy on capital gained forty seats
David Lloyd George, flashing
about the country with his vitriolic
attacks on the proposed tariff, the
issue on which Baldwin called the
election, was another contributing
factor.
The conservatives with 235 can
didates returned this afternoon
were assured of a plurality. Labor
took second place with the combin
ed Asquith and Lloyd George lib
eral third.
All parties suffered losses among
their leaders.

INCREASE, WILL
CHECK SIGNALS

Arrests by the city police during
the month of November were more
than three times as great as during
October, there being only eight
recorded in the latter month, and
50 in the former.
A total of $760 was collected in
fines during November, $420 rep
resenting fines imposed in crimi-
nal eases and $340 for violations Of
the motor vehicle laws. In Octob-
or total of 1857 was collected,
divided into $511 for criminal of
fenses and $346 for motor vehicle
violations.
Several important arrests were
made by the police during Novcm
Der, including two highwaymcn who
were later returned to Los Angc-
les to stand trial for theft of an
automobile, and Harley o Hara,
identified as freight ear robber
with a long criminal record.
The local police plan to conduct
strict campaign to comper proper
signalling by automobile drivers
when making turns, and when stop
ping their vehicles. Several mar
row escapes from serious accidents
recently, because proper signals
were not given, have caused com
plants to be made by several citi-

We Had No
Quake

Los Angeles tried hard to in
clude Imperial Valley in the
area which experienced slight
earthquake yesterday afternoon,
but without Success.
One of the Los Angeles dai-
lies telepho1ed to the local po-
lice station, and asked how
much damage the earthquake had
done down here. Officer Dea-
ton who answered the telephone,
told the inquirer that Ell Cen
tro had not even felt the earth
quake, nor had any been eXper-
fenced for several weeks.
The inquirer advised peaton
that his paper was ready TO
send photographers and special
writers here, if occasion de-
manded, and the cop told the
telephoner that his paper was
certainly out of luck for there
was nothing doing in that line
at present, though they might
come down and look over our
big lettuce crop.
The inquiry grew out of the
fact that the entire coast sec
tion in the vicinity of Los An
geles and inland to Whittier ey-
perienced a sharp earthquake
yesterday, as reported in last
night S Press. Tie tremor was
sufficient to wreck an oil der
rick in the vicinity of Santa
Fe Springs and scare the pop
ulace half to death.
