RAIDERS END SIEGE
AND TURN WATERS
BACK INTO COURSE

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov 90
The waters of the Los Angeles
aqueduct, diverted into owens lake
last Sunday by a raiding party of
owens Valley ranchers, who seized
and opened the Alabama waste gates
north of Lone Pine, Inyo county,
were turned back into their course
by the ,raiding party early today,
said dispatch to the Los Angeles
Times.
The ranchers' decision to abandon
their announced determination to
hold the gates open until state troops
are, sent or Los Angeles comes to our
terms, was reached at conference
of leaders held at keeler. on the
shores of Owens lake, during the
night 1t was reached, says the
Times dispatch, as direct result of
the resolution adopted last Tuesday
by the Los Angeles Clearing House
in promoting settlement of the wa
ter rights feud providing the gates
are closed"
The control gates were opened
4 when the ranchers decided to bring
to decision their long standing dis
pute with Los Angeles over diver
sion for city use of water the ranch
ers maintained was needed for irri-
cation.
Approximately 100 men overpow-
cred city employees at the waste
gates, drove them from the site and
turned the water into Owens lake.
The Los Angeles water supply was
not threatened, however, as enough
for ninety days was impounded be-
low where the aqueduct was cut.
The situation was described by OBJ
servers as needing but little more to
preeipitate that section of California
into civil warfare.
The proposal of w. w. Waterson
to close the control gates did not
meet the unanimous consent of the
ra1chers on guard, and it was not
until Keough, leader of an influen-
tial group in the valley, had exert
ed every effort on behalf of the
recommendation that it finally was
adopted.
y
spokesman of the ranchers, backed
Carl Keough and the conservatives
during the discussion.
Even after the closing of the gates
the rancheers did not leave the aque-
duct, seemingly unable to compre-
bend that the battle was at an end.
Only the empty apron of the spill
way, down which the city's water
supply no longer rushed to the river
bed below, betrayed the fact that
the aqueduct deadlock had been
broken.
From the outposts where they had
been standing guard, sentinels drift
ed in toward the campfires and flung
themselves down for a few moments
OF sleep before daybreak.
Immediately after the control gates
were closed a telegram was sent to
District Attorney Jess Hession of
Inyo county, who was to arrive in
San Francisco today to make an ar
|. peal to Governor Richardson for
troops.
Those not in a mood for sleep be.
gan preparations ror today's barbe-
cue, which was to have been feast
of defiance, but now took on the
character of a genuinely hilarious
celebration, for all who participated
in the vigil at the gates, made no
secret of their relief with the strain
ended;

BAL |MORE: PAPER
INDICTED. FOR TEST
OF TAX PUBLICITY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The
Baltimore Daily Post was indicted by
the federal grand jury today for pub
LEGATION of the income tax lists.
The indictment, the first test case
to be instituted by the department
of justice to obtain judicial construc-
ton of conflicting provisions in the
income tax law, charges that the
Post printed the returns on income
taxes in violation of section 1857 of
the revised statutes, despite a warm
ing given by the treasury Depart
ment when public inspection was or
dered.
The Indictment, which consists of
five counts, charges the company
with the unlawful publication" on
last October "a of the names and in
come tax returns of five men, giving
their names and amounts of their
payments.
The indictment followed the APP
pearance before the grand jury to-
day of Harold Allen and Sewell Key,
special assistants to Attorney Gen
eral Stone.
Galen L. TAFT, internal revenue col
lector this district, was named as the
prosecuting witness. So far as is
known, he was the only witness.
INDICTMENTS ELSEWHERE
TO TEST OTHER PHASES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-In the
grand jury proceeding against the
Baltimore Daily Post, Attorney Gen
eral Stone sought to present various
phases of the question of publishing
income tax returns so that court
ruling may be obtained under the
conditions existing in Baltimore.
He has instructed United States
attorneys in six or seven other in
stances to make presentments to
grand juries in as many cities, ask
ing indictments of newspapers there
to obtain court expressions in va
riety of communities.
The attorney general said today he
would press for early court action in
the Baltimore case, and would pursue
the same policy with respect to the
others. He desires to get the ques-
ton to the supreme court as soon as
possible.
Since the Indictment in Baltimore
is against the Baltimore Post COM
pany, it was indicated that the de-
partment of justice desired 10 hinge
that case on the alleged culpabillty
of a corporation instead OF an indi-
vidual In some of the other cases
indictments may be brought against
individuals in order % develop anOth-
err phase of the apparent conflict in
the tax law, which says in one in
stance that he income tax returns
shlal be open to public inspection and
in another paragraph, re-enacts sec
ton 1857 of the revised statutes,
making it an offense to print infor-
nation concerning the returns.
The attorney general received the
question of liability Of newspapers
under the tax law from the treasury
department, which at the time it or
dered the income tax lists made pub
! lie issued a warning against their
| publication.
