QUEEN STANDING

Though several Of the candidates
for the honor of selection as Queen
OF the fifth annual State of Maine
Winter Carnival considerably in
creased their total vote on Tuesday.
Miss Rosa Witham continued to
maintain her lead, hut Miss Joseph-
Inc HARDWOOD made the largest indi-
vidual gain for the day of the five
contestants.
Pressing closely upon Miss Har-
wood for the popular honor is Miss
Laura Waugh. while the fourth in
the standing when the ballots were
inspected late yesterday afternoon
was Miss Dora Warman. Miss Eta
Mckinnon was last in the standing
but her friends believe that the end
OF the week will find this contestant
well up in the order.
Several changes are Anticipated
before Monday of next week as sun
porters of each of the competitors
are working diligently for their IA
vorite, and the early returns cannot
be any true indication of the relative
strength of the seveal nominees.
All of the candidates for the hon.

Winter Carnival this year are stud

hospital. which is particularly ap-
propriate inasmuch as the proceeds
from the three days snow and ice

Plan to Block
City in Drilling
Wells Given Up

san DIEGO, Calf, June 10
Efforts of attorneys for the La
Mesa, Lemon Grove and Spring Val
ley irrigation district to block the
city's plans for a pipe line from FL
Captain and the use of wells in the
San Diego river bottom are about to
be abandoned, according to develop
ments yesterday in the superior
court. Argument on the district S
plea for an injunction against the
city was to be presented before
Judge Andrews yesterday, but the
matter went over until June 22. at
which time it will be heard III a
greatly amended form.
City Attorney Higgins opened the
battle yesterday with a request that
some outside judge, preferably
Judge Conkling Of Imperial Valley,
be called in to hear the application
for in. junction. Title to the waters
of the San Diego river is involved,
he pointed out, and local Judges
formerly have been disqualified in
like eases.
Counsel for the district announced
that it would not be necessary to
call another judge. They intend to
withdraw that part of their plea
which contests the right of the city
to drill wells in the river bottom and
also to build Il pipe line from FL
Captain into the city. All that
would remain of their ease will be
an application for a temporary in
junction against the city to prevent
it crossing with its pipe line land
owned by the district.
Higgins then withdrew his motion
for an outside judge and Judge An
drews set the application to be
heard by him Il week from today.
Permission has been given the city
by the board of supervisors to lay
the pipe line along the county road
and the line will not cross the dis
trict's land, Higgins declares.

"Wherc it'll Pal!'
A tot-littlc more than two years
old was crying. She rubbed her
chubby fists in her eyes to wipe

Pal went away to bee the sights a
few days ago.
Marie and Pal dio not know exact
ly where they were going, but
Marie's mother, grandmother and
the entire neighborhood for blocks
around knew they were gone.
The frenzied mother was almost
beside herself as two long hours
dragged away and still no word came
from Marie.
The mother was sure that speed
ing ear on FL Caion avenue had kill
ed her child.
Like any mother under such a try
ing time, she refused to be comforted
with the though that little Mari"
would be found, safe and sound.
Officer Oder, from the East San
Diego police station led the hunt.
Marie was not out of my sight
10 minutcs,' said the grandmother.
"Wherc, oh, where could she have
gone
The fact that Pal was nowhere to
be found put hope in everyone that
Marie was all right. pal is prov
ing his true worth, said a neigh
Dor, "and I'll bet he brings Marie
back to US.
In an old granary. eight blocks
from the Lutz home, Marie was sit
ting down, about ready to cry her
self to sleep, when Officer Oder was
attracted to the building by the
barking of Pal.
When the officer approached the
building, Pal was almost making Il
race track near the place, barking
all the time.
As he wagged his tail and barked

tion in eyes that lacked little Of
