L. A. Files Suit i.
For a Million
Against S. c. E.

LOS ANGELES, May 17.-Suit
for $1,000,000 against the Southern
California Edison Company was fill
ed here today by Deputy City At
torncy Hinshaw, representing the
city of Los, Angeles. The sum is
due the municipality, it is contend
ed, because of discrepancies alleged
to have resulted in the purchase of
the power eompany's electrical dis
tribnting system by the city.
During the period of the operat-
ing agreement when the terms and
provisions for the purchase of the
Edison Company lines were fixed
the corporation, it is contended,
paid from the revenues of the city
the sum of $290,000 Another dis
putable item was the payment of
1921, 900 in taxes from funds which,
it is contended, belong to the city.
Payment of the entire amount has
been. disputed for many months.
Hinshaw announced the court action
was instituted to clear up the legal
tangles in the claims of the city.
Two. years ago Los Angeles ac-
quired the local distributing system
of the Edison Company for Il con
sideration of $ll,200,000 This sum
came from a $1S,500,000 power bond
issue voted by the people at the
time. &S.F

LAST PAYMENT MADE ON HlPASS
MAKES IDEAL CAMP PERMANENT
PROPERTY OF COUNTY Y.W.CA

With a check of 1882 going
through the bank today, the last
installment of the payment of the
$4,000 principal for the mRerial
County Young Women's Christian
Association camp at Hipass has been
made, and the camp stands free from
debt, according to an announcement
made by Mrs. John Kavanaugh,
. county president. t' =
Planned primarily for the suse of
the girls and young women of I'M
perial Valley, and also to be shar-
ed with all residents as well, the
final payment on the Hipass camp
ends. a four years., campaign to
permanently provide p desirable
camp within reasonable distance Of
the valley. t4 fE54z Al
The Y. W. c. A. camp property,
which now becomes the possession
of The county association, comprises
40 acres of beautiful rolling hill land
located 81 miles from Ell Centre in
San Diego county, near the interna-
tional boundary. An altitude Of
around 1000 feet, splendid supply
of pure water, an ideal location for
the camp itself, a fine natural site
for swimming pool with cunning
water to fill it, spreading trees, pic
turesque rocks, a superb view, and
the coolest climate of any spot in
the nearby mountains are numbered
among the advantages of the Hipass
property. -Four cabins, a social hall
and dining hall comprise the present
buildings.
The San Diego and Arizona rail
way station of Hipass is within
easy walking distance of the camp
headquarters, and an excellent road,
leaves the Campo branch of the San
Diego highway short distance be-
yond White Star, furnish two quick
and easy modes of transportation to
the camp. With the Improvement of
the Mountain Springs grade, the
camp is reached by an easy drive of
two to two and one-half hours from
this city.
First Camp In 1920
'e A bit of the history of the move
ment which has resulted in the ac-
quiring of permanent. camp is OF
interest at this time. In 1920 the
first girls camp was held at Hi
pass between t;ie present store and
the railway right of way. About
35 girls of the valley were present.
They slept in tents and cabins which
were then available, furnishing
their own dishes and other equip-t

HEARING IN CASE !
OVER SCH0 OILS
SET FOR MAY y

Overriding the motion for demur-
rers on the amended petitions for
writs of mandate, issued by several
FL Cen.ro residents, in their attempt
to force trustees and principals of
elementary schools to permit their
children to attend school without
submitting to physical examinations,
Judge Cole ordered that the hearing
of the petitions be set for May %.
The judge gave his decision this
morning, after he had looked into
the law involved and had heard the
arguments of the attorneys yester-
day afternoon.
The first hearing on the motion
for demurrers was held on Friday,
Nav 8, at which time it was the
opinion of the court that the petit
tions were not sufficient in point of
law and that they would have to be
amended before they could be CON
sidered by the court.
Attorney James w. Glassford ap-
peared in court yesterday to present
the amended petition for the plain
tiffs, who stated in their petitions
that principals and trustees of the
Lincoln and Wilson elementary
schools had forbidden children of
the plaintiffs from attendance at
school until such time as they had
been examined by the health officer
ana declared by him to be in physi-
cal condition which would permit
their attendance at school.

LONG SHORT HAUL
BILL" THROWN OUT


WASHINGTON, May H. The
Progressive Democratic coalition in
the senate today lost its first fight
for restrictive rail legislation when
the Gooding long and short haul bill
was thrown out of the army appro-
fpriation bill on point of order by
Il vote of 40 to %. President pro-
TEN Cummins upheld the point of
order raised by Senator Wadsworth,
New York, but Senator Pittman,
Nevada, Democrat, appealed from
the ruling of the chair and vote
was taken. Twenty Democrats de-
serted the coalition and voted to
uphold the chair.
Senator Gooding, Idaho, author of
the bill, which prevents the railways
from charging a greater rate for a
short than for long haul, announc-
ed that he would make another eff
fort to get the bill through as soon
as the appropriation bill is disposed
of. r
Senator Walsh, Montana, Demo
crat,, then introduced an amendment
which would prevent any expendi-
ture for river and harbor improve
ments until congress acts upon the
Gooding bill.

DISMISS AMENDED
INDICTMEN is in
STAGE LITIGATION
Judge Cole Holds Hin
Was Not a Sworn
yxy. 80 .

Amended indictments against
Thomas Morgan, president of the
United Stages Inc, and his brother,
Howard Morgan, in which it was
charged that the brothers had been
guilty of perjury in filing COM
plaint for injunction, were dismissed
late yesterday by order of Judge
Cole of superior court.
In explaining his decision and in
ordering that the indictments be
stricken from the records, Judge
Co:e said that it had appeared that
the grand jury had considered state
,p,enns made before its members by
Robert G. Hill, attorney for the com
planning switnesses,-Mhen he was
not a sworn witness.
The judge pointed out that ac-
cording to the statutes provision was
made forbidding the grand jury to
allow anyone present at its ses-
siops other than the district attor-
ncy, sworn witnesses and court
reporter. s.a.- -..
II am of the belief that the rec
ord in this case shows that the grand
jury considered other statements
than those appearing in the record, =
Judge Cole, declared, "in that Mr..
Hill appeared and testified and it
was referred at that time by the
foreman, to matters, formerly pre-
sented to them. l am in grave doubts
whether or not an Indictment made
under such circumstances could
stand
Immediately following the deci-
sion of the court directing that the
purported amended indictments be
stricken out, the plaintiffs filed an
appeal for new hearing in the dis
trict court of appeals, second dis
trict, at Los Angeles.
Attorney S. w. Thompson of the
law firm of Mcdonald and Thomp-
son, Los Angeles, represented the
Morgan brothers.

Paramashiru Bay after {, successful
flight from Chicagoff, Attu Island.
1t was one of the most difficult
flights ever attempted and led thor
ough uncharted air lanes over the

along bleak and uninhabited coasts.
The flight was the longest leg
of the ambitious effort of the army
to- span the globe in the air and was
considered the most dangerous.
Lieut.. Lowell Smith is in command
of the squadron following the mi
shap which forced the flagship
Seattle, with commander Major
Frederick l.. Martin to abandon the
expedition.
The two other planes reaching
here were piloted by Lieutenants
Erik Nelson and Leigh Wade.
1t was the first time airplanes
ever have flown from the North
American continent to Asia.
japanese and American destroy
ers with their crews were awaiting
the planes and cheered their arrival.
The flight now will continue
through the Japanese Islands until
