AOueduct Still
Being Diverted
To Old Channel
BY United Press Leased Wire

LONE PINE, Calf, Nov. 49,
Through another chill night and
into the third day small band of
grimly determined men stood guard
beside the opened waste gates of
the Los Angeles aGaeduct while the
stream, diverted from its artificial
course, flowed back toward the
Owens river from whence it origin
ally came.
Unrelenting in their demand for
Il settlement from the city 200
miles to the south in the dispute
over the rights to the water of the
river, the five score men and more
who opened the flood gates of the
aqueduct Sunday morning appear
even more firm in their purpose as
the hours advance. This despite
the fact that q second call for Char
les Collins to Governor Friend w.
Richardson, in Sacramento.
He and his deputies are "utterly
powerless to cope with the situa-
tion, Sheriff Collins telegraphed the
governor, adding that the matter is
entirely out of my hands and
asking fer state. militia Gin des-
peration.
The situation at the flood gates
today revealed little of the animosi-
| ty and feeling which prompted the
ranchers deed. The hundred OF
more weather beaten ranchers, stool
! ed with years of labor on none to,
| productive soil, stand about in smal
! groups, talking, thinking, waiting.
A few feet away the musical rush
of water is heard as the flood pours
through the spillwall and down the
offshoot course toward the river.
In the main channel of the aque-
duet only a trickle is evident, a
tiny rivulet of the precious "white
gold over which Il battle IS ro-
mantle as any in the days of the

is being waged. =

INJUNC ton IS
REFUSED AGAINST

Judge Conkling Tells Why
He Makes This
Decision

! No injunction was granted by
Judge NJ. W. Conkling restraining
| the lessees of the Tulane theater on
| Sixth street from operating that
| house as q moving picture or thea
| trical place of entertainment, the de-
| cision being handed down late yes
terday afternoon, and the lessees,
Charles f. Ferguson, and Ed Ray
mond, will open that theater as soon
as possible.
An injunction was asked for by
Arthur Brick and d. n. Croft, CO.
partners, doing business as Brick and
Croft, and operators of the Valley
and P;.!ace theaters in El Centre, the
injunction seeking to restrain the
defendants Ferguson and Raymond,
rrom opening the theatcr as NOV
ing picture house.
IN his written decision the Judge
states that complainants alleged that
On March II, 1923, G. +. Kennedy,
owner, made an agreement with
James A. Cook, lessee, that upon
the expiration of the lease Kenne-
theatrical purposes for period of
five years from August 9, 1923,
and Cook agreed to pay Kennedy
$50 per month for 24 consecutive
months, and thereafter to pay the
difference between the rent kenne-
Nv might receive from tenant us

/ purposes and $3.50, such sum not tC

be not used for theatrical purposes
That contract was complied with
| by both parties until about October

premises in the meantime to Green.
and Cook, who owned other picture
houses, had sold out his inter EST to
Brick and ,Crofts, the plaintiffs,
and assigned his interest in the CON
tract TO Kennedy. %
Contract Not Part of Lease
Plaintiffs allege that the defen-
dants intended opening the Tulane
theater as a motion picture house,
md sought an injunction, remark
ed the judge, and defendants filed
affidavits to the effect that the
sole intention of the contract in
question was to prevent competition
in the moving picture business in FL
Centre. The contract is not Il part
of the lease, but a plain, bald agree
ment for consideration paid by
one moving picture house proprie
tor to the owner of this particular
theater wherein the owner agrees
tina, he will not carry on the mo-
tion picture business therein, nor
permit it to be carried on.
Section 1873 of the civil code
provides that every contract by
