of the regulation requiring payment OF
bills by customers by the first OF the
month. According to a resolution OF
the council if this regulation is not
complied with the current is discon-
tinued and an additional charge is
made for reconnection. Lhis regula-
ton is usual and like others is based
on the idea that the only way any
public utility can do business is to
have such regulations and make them
apply equally to all customers, Mr.

Discussing the matter informally the
mayor and members of the council
are well pleased with the success u

meeting obligations involved as well
as to the installation soon OF addi-
tions to the plant which at the pres
ent time at certain hours has a heavy

shadow criminal court jury "has no

lance of the FalI-Sinclair oil con-
Spiracy jury had "a tendency to OBJ
struct justice" Justice Frederick l..
Siddons today overruled a defense
motion to dismiss criminal contempt
charges against Harry r. Sinclair,
William j. Burns and their four
associates.
The government charged that Sim
clair, when on trial with Albert B.
Fall, former secretary of the interior,
for conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment by their famous Teapot Dome
naval oil reserve lease, had employed
detectives to shadow the jurors who
had his tate in their hands The
oil man in his reply after mistrial
of the case was followed by the
criminal contempt proceedings, adj
mitted he had employed detectives to
keep the jury under close surveillance
but insisted this was his legal right
and not unlawful or in contempt of
court.
Today's decision won for the gov.
ernment the most important victory
it has yet scored in the contempt
proceedings and upheld the contention
Of District Attorney Peyton Gordon
that ShadoWing alone constituted ais
offense against the government. Al
the same time he rendered his de-
cision Justice Siddons made it plain
that it had to do only with the
motion to dismiss ard not with the
main issues in the case.
The decision came at the end of a
two hour review OF the case by
Justice Siddons He recalled the de-
fense's contention that they had a
right to shadow the jury as long as
no juror was approached or knew
of the surveillance.
"The claimed right to do this thing
has no existence in law" said the
justice. I'm my opVion such right
does not exist"

of the lands he already had visited
The crowds which, with many dig
7itarieS OF the Pan-American congress
had awaited his arrival at Columbia
field were excited almost beyond
restraint as the American aviator
performed a few stunts within their
view before sWooping gracefully to
earth. Cavalryrnen and infantry, with
drawn sabreS and bayone1s, quickly
formed fresh lines, however, to guard
the hero from the enthusiasm of his
admirers.
After waiting few moments in
his plane while the reception COM
nittee and other officials surrounded
him, Colonel Lindbergh emerged to
enter the automobile which was to
take him to the presidential palace
at Havana, eight miles from the
field. Close behind United States
Ambassador Judah in offering his
congratulations on the successful
flight from Haiti was Charles Evans
Hughes The former secretary of state
of the United States saIc:
'Lindbergh is tracing the route that
future commerce will follow. The
best part is that it is a route OF
goodwill, and what he is doing is OF
first importance in the development
of an-AmericaniSm.'
The flags of the many republics
visited by Lindbergh painted on the
plane attracted the attention of the
delegates to the Pan-American con-
ference, who were prominent among
the milling crowd, which, irrespective
of cloth, surged about the machine.
Before leaving the field, Colonel
Lindbergh intimated that the Spirit
of ST. Louis would require more than
an ordinary overhauling for the flight
from Havana to st. Louis, owing tC
the many hours it already has beer
in the air. A representative of the
Wright Motor company and Cuban
and American army aviators took
charge of the plane.
