lU.D-Birth of n baby girl to Mrs.

who was released from the peni-
ientiary to receive medical care at
a San Rafael hospital, today created

stated that it would be illegal for
the child to be "incarcerated" at
San Quentin for it is an innocent
person and cannot be accepted in the

iutely dangerous to the child to
separate it from its mother so soon
after birth, Holohan also said.

LIGHT RAIN IS
HAILED AS END
OF DRY PERIOD

SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. s. U.D-
A light rain in the northern portion
of the Sacramento valley yesterday,
was today hailed as an indication
that the long dry spell throughout
the state and much of the Pacific
coast was at last coming to an end.
The weather bureau predicted
general rainfall throughout the
state not later than tonight or to-
morrow, due to rapidly approach
ing area of low barometric pressure
now over the Pacific ocean.
If the promised wet weather ar
rives, it will terminate period OF
unprecedented drought, which start
ed last July, and resulted in damage
TO crops and cattle, and that indi-
rectly caused considerable loss from
forest fires.
Power companies and water sup.
ply concerns were also hampered by
the lack Of rainfall, especially in
the northwest, where the city of
Tacoma was faced by serious pow
er shortage.

s. P. PLANNING
TO EXTEND LINE
INTO HOLTVILLE

According to information obtained
from authentic sources, entry of the
Southern Pacific lines directly into
Holtville, is only a matter of few
months.
Engineers are now making a re.
survey of tentative route outlined
several months ago from the coun-
try's present terminus at Sandia, it
being planned to bring the line run
ming south from Calipatria directly
into Holtville.
Rumors of the extension have
been heard ever since the Calipatria
line was established several years
ago, and recently they appeared to
be more fact than rumor.
BY means of the old Holton Inter
urban road, between FL Centre and
Holtville, the proposed extension
would give the Southern Pacific
company second through line be-
tween this city and the northern end
of the valley.

LEASES RESULT
OF CONSPIRACY

LOS ANGELES, Dee. S. U.n)-
The federal government today at
tempted TO show that leases to 600
acres of Kern county oil lands held
by the Pan.American Petroleum
corporation were granted to the
company as result of alleged con-
us result of alleged conspiracy be-
tween f.. l.. Doheny, oil magnate,
and Albert b. FAN, former secretary
of the interior.
The plan of action was conduct
cd in the U. S. district court by
former Senator Atlee Pomerene,
chief of government counsel i'll the
suit to cancel the leases.
IT was the contention of the gov
etnment that the Kern county
leases, part of the Elk Hills Naval
Petroleum reserve, should be can
celled as were the main leases by
order of the United States Supreme
Court.
+. e. Finney, first assistant secre-
tary of the interior under Fall, was
on the witness stand today for di-
rect testimony. Finney was called
two days ago but then he merely
identified important docum n $
bearing upon the leasing of the oil
lands.
Late yesterday Pomerene started
to read into the records part Of the
transcript of the ease in which the
main leases of the district were can
cellcd. Norman 5. Stcrry, chief
counsel for the defending company,

as the entire transcript had been
made part of the record by stipu-
lation of attorneys early in the
present hearing. Pomerene agreed
and said in the future he would give
only page references to emphasize
his arguments.
