VEGETABLES AND
FRUIT ARE NOW
LEAVING CALF.

All shipments of fruits and vege-
tables moving from California to
other states are being covered by
certificates showing that they have
originated in areas free from any
foot and mouth infection and ap-
proved for shipment by the federal
bureau of animal industry and the
state department of agriculture.
This service WIS organized by
the state department of agriculture
following the conference at Salt
Lake City of western live stock of
ficials on April /, which made rec
concentrations for uniform quaran-
tine rules to govern the admission of
agricultural products from Califor-
MIA.
The work is being handled direct
ly by the county horticultural COM
missioners under the supervision and
direction of the state department of
agriculture. The men engaged in
this work have been appointed as
collaboratOrs by the federal bureau
of animal industry, and are acting
under federal rules and regulations.
No fruits, vegetables or other Gag-
rieultural products are permitted,
under quarantine regulations, to
leave any premises where foot and
mouth disease infection exists, or
premises Immediately contagious
thereto. For this reason, the federal
authorities state that the movement
of these products does not carry any
possibility of infection from such
sources.
Several western states have sent
committees to California to consid-
er at first hand the precautions and
measures of control which are be-
ing observed. Largely as result
of these visits, several of the states
have somewhat relaxed the quaran-
tine provisions originally establish

MAY
BE MATE ON
6. 0. P. TICKET
by United Press Leased Wire

NASHl lNGION, May 81. -
Coolidge and Lowden."
That will be the Republican pre-
sidential ticket for 1924 unless the
Coolidge campaign managers make
an eleventh hour switch, the United
Press learned today from an au-
lucrative source.
Frank o. Lowden, former COVER
nor of Illinois, has agreed to ac-
cept second place on the ticket
with President Coolidge if he is
drafted, according to his friends.
And the Coolidge managers have
decided tentatively to draft him.
The selection of Lowden was
said to have been brought about
by process of elimination, which
ended, abruptly with Senator La
Follette's threat to head an indie
pendent ticket. The Coolidge man
ayers now believe the best chance
for Republican success lies in a
straight out conservative ticket.
Lowden is regarded sufficiently
to satisfy the farming
west and yet conservative enough
to meet the approval of the east.
He is now the head of the Farm
ers' Cooperative Marketing Coun-
Gil and his efforts in that direction
have won him renewed popularity
in agricultural regions. He is said
to be in accord with Mr.. Coolidge's
policies, both domestic and for
eign.
Scandal Blown Over
The campaign fund scandal of
1910, which is given credit for de-
feating Lowden for the nomination
that. went to Harding, is not expect
ed to prove embarrassing to him
now.
His friends contend that he was
a victim of circumstances and not
to blame for actions of obscure
managers.
In deciding on the availability of
it was said the Coolidge
east aside other candi-
dates for various reasons. Neither
Secretary Hoover nor Charles G.
Dawes wanted the place. Cover
nor Hyde of Missouri is involved
in a factional fight in his state.
Representative Burton, Ohio, was
held too old and Senator Watson,
Indiana, too conservative.
Senator Capper has a fight on
his hands for denomination and re-
election. Even if Senator Borah,
Idaho, would accept the place, the
managers believe it is not
the part of wisdom now to attempt
TO cater to Progressiyes.

freak shower last GiaAt-hetMeen
seven and eight o'clock, which came
in torrents, starting without warn
ing and stopping almost as sudden

short time and cloudless skies
marked the sunrise.
Reports from cantalOupe shippers
about the valley stated that the
rfdn did little or no damage to the
cantaloupe crop and that shipments
would be maintained at normal to-
day. Only the fully ripe melons suf
fered. 1t was expected that hauling
from the fiel6s would be unimpeded,
at least after noon today, according
to information given out from West

Ell Centre was evidently the GEN.
ter of the rain, there being approx
imately half inch precipitation.
At Calexico the rainfall was report
ed to have totalled IA inches.
Brawley and Westmorland report
ed nearly half inch.
Pioneers say that such a heavy
shower in May or June is almost un
known to the valley and that al
though later in the summer there
have been occasional storms, some
of which have developed into regu-
lar cloudbursts, early. summer is
usually without rainfall.
First the fire and then the
fldod,' is the experience of the
Varnev Company of this city, when
the heavy rain began to spatter its
drops through the gaps in the badly
burned roof Immediately over the

COURT APPEALS
UPHOLDS STAGE
CASE DECISIONS
Morton Loses in Revers-
ed Decision for Milling
Company

Decisions, of the District Court Of
! Appeals, second district, in thre@
cases, were filed this morning in
the coul'y clerks office. The
cases were those of the State of Cal
ifornia against o. d. Hadley, State
of California against Frederick
Ernsting, both of the United Stages,
and w. Morton against AI,ers
Brothers Milling company, a eorpo
ration. They were appealed from
the Superior court here. Decisions
iii the Hadley and Ernsting cases
as given by the Superior cour5 here,
were upheld. The decision OF the
Superior court in the case against
Albers Milling company was rcver-
sed.
The court of appeals held that
the cases of Hadley and Ernsting
were identical and that each oper-
ator of stage lines in Imperial coun
tv had been attempting to operate
stages in violation of certain re-
ourements of the law.
The statement of the ease of Had
ley was given briefly. He WIS said
to have been operating stage line
in Imperial county prior to May l.,
1917, after which time he ceased
to operate the line until in March
1928. On April 8, 1923, the railroad
commission started investigation: and
decided that the operation Of the
stage line was not legal. The ease
was appealed to the court of appeals
and the decision uphoAing the rail
road commission given.
Outcome of Stage Litigation
The decision is an outgrowth of
the involved litigation growing out
of the legal battle between the
Omitted Stages, Inc, and United
Stages. Several cases growing out
of the difficulty are still hanging
fire in the local courts.
In reversing the decision IL the
ase of w. Morton against the AL
bers Milling company in which 1t
vas charged that the Milling com
panv had been guilty of a breach of
contract, the court of appeals heid
that the first decision in favor OF
Morton as given by the Superior
court was in error and ordered thai
the costs of appeal be recovered by
the milling company. L
The statement of the ease said
that action for damages for 'he al
legged breach of contract to purchase
milo maize had been brought bE
Morton, who held that he had been
willing and ready. to make complete
deliveries within time set verb
ally, but which was an eXteRslon OF
The time agreed upon in the CON
tract. He held that the milling
company had refused to accent the
balance of the deliveries and brought
.amage claims against the defend
mt for the difference between tho
contract price of $50 per ton and
hat which he received when h, was
forced to sell the milo to others. |
The contract was made in Seitem, |

WORES WATER DECISION REVERSE
Supreme Court
Gives It's Iona
Waited Edict

Holding that the fixing of water
tolls and rates was largely mat
ter for the discretion of the board
of directors, the supreme court of
California reversed the decision of
the superior court in which the I'm
perial Irrigation district was en-
joined from collection of sums total
ing $l,8l7,950 for carrcnt expenses
and the payment of bond interest
for 1923.
The decision which was written
by Justice richardson, recently OPP
pointed by Justice Lennon Lawlor,
Seawall and Waste. Chief Justice
Meyers and Justice Shenk did not
sign their names to the decision,
neither concurring nor dissenting.
The decision was complete re-
versal on all points of the ease,
according to Attorney Childers,
who handled the case for the I'M
perial Irrigation district. The court
held that the act of 1915 is gene
raj legislation and is constitutional
and that the board of equalization
did not exceed its rights in reduc-
ing city valuations and in that con-
nection it is not necessary to pre-
sent formal complaint.
To Ask Rehearing
Attorney Harry Horton, who re-
presented Charles r. Wores in the
injunction hearings, declared today
that petition for a rehearing
would be filed. He said that the
fact that the Chief Justice of the
supreme court and another promi-
nent Justice had refrained from con
curing in the decision of the court,
indicated that there was consider
able doubt as to the facts in the
ease and that as soon as the opin
ion was received here, the proceed
ings for rehearing would be insti-
tuted.
The CONCLUSION reached in the de-
eision was in general that the board
of directors of the irrigation dis
trict had not plainly abused its dis
eretionary powers in fixing tolls
and water charges and that unless it |
did so abuse these rights, it was
not for the courts to interfere.
The injunction proceeding arose !
when Wores, consumer i'll the dis |
trict, sought to enjoin the district |
from collecting taxes on the ground /
that the assessments would reach /
more than per cent of the aggre-
gate value of its holdings, as per !
mitted in the general irrigation act /
of 1897.
The sums to be collected amount
to $l,005,452 for current expenses
and $4,000 for bond interest. +
