Der, director of the state conserVa-
ton department, on request of Gov

COURT WON'T RELEASE
CAR OF EVANGELIST
Bond Is Demanded Before Attach
ment Is Dismissed Against
Mrs. Mcpherson.
MAI. w. NJ. GRIMES,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, November %
Superior Judge Samuel r. Blake re-
fused yesterday to dismiss the attach
ment of the funds and automobile of
Aimee Semple Mcpherson, evangelist,
until a suitable bond is arranged.
Mrs. Mcpherson did not appear in
court personally. The attachment was
made Just before the filing of $1,000
suit against the evangelist by Frank
Timpson. discharged business manager
of Angelus Temple, Mrs. McPherson's
church. Timpson alleged he was sum-
marty dismissed by the evangelist in
violation of a contract, which had until
June Is, 1891 to expire.
He was to get $400 a month for the
unexpired term, he set forth.
Mrs. McPherson's attorney said the
contract was invalid because it was
made out and signed by Cromwell
Ormsby, formerly Mrs. McPherson's at
torney. Timpson asserted Ormsby was
acting as the evangelist's attorney in
fact and that the contract is valid.
Ormsby earlier in the week brought
suit against the pastor. charging breach
of contract in connection with her pro-
posed voyage to the Holy Land with
some of her followers.

TUSCUMBIA, Ala, November "a
The Public Ownership League Of Amer
lea yesterday received additional reports
of alleged activities Of private power In
terests to monopolize the utility field.
r. E., Mcdonnell, engineer Of Kansas
City and Los Angeles, said an instance
had come to his attention OF q large,
privately owned power company havin,~
subsidized hundreds of small bana-
through substantial deposits. These
deposits are increased, Mcdonnell sair
by the power company redepositing all
amounts that might be drawn out BY
customers of the banks making pur-
chases of utility securities"
Defends His Patron.
The banker thus favored, Mcdonnell
continued, has his deposits increased
by any sales of utility securities. and he
at once becomes q potential factor in
defending the private power company,
its rates and policies as against the in
terest of the citizen at large"
Mcdonnell warned that the difficvS
ties besetting publicly operated utiltS>
are increasing because of Hobbies -

THE power interests have adopted
as their slogan, Get control of every

Mcdonnell said, "the obvious purpose
being to reap the huge profits to be OBJ
tanned from the sale of electricity"
He advocated public ownership Of
water companies as means of lowering
the mortality rate through control of
typhoid. He pointed out that 80 years
ago the average death rate per 100, 1000
from typhoid was 3l.5. The rate now,
he continued, is is per 100000, an i'm
provement which he attributed largely
to municipality owned water works, with
their advanced methods of water puri-
fication
The league yesterday went on record
urging Government operation of Muscle

LONDON, November 23.-Four Brit

the Eastern Mediterranean at 20 knots
in order to intercept the British Trader

wireless messages were reported to have
been received Thursday. There was
some doubt, however, as to whether the

The message, somewhat garbled, was
made out as follows:

The Baron Elcho sailed from Egypt
for Marseilles on Wednesday with crew

torily settled. Figures for the ships po-
