CLOSING ORDER
NOT WORRYING
AQUA CALIENTE
Patrons Refuse to Believe
Resorts Are Target of
President Rubio.
BY RONALD W. WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent

Aqua CALIENTE, Baja, Cal,
Feb. 26-If sword is hanging over
the head Of Aqua Caliente, gayest
Of Mexicos pleasure resorts, its
patrons intend to dance while they
may.
The ponies ran today as usual;
the Casino was open for business;
the bars we're well patronized, and
Americana visitors basked in the
Spanish atmosphere of the red
rooted inn.
Aqua Caliente, its proprietors and
clients, refused to believe "close
down" instructions issued in Mexico
City by President Ortiz Rubio ever
will clamp the paddock on the
whirling gambling wheels Of this
xesort or still the hoof beats of the
running horses at the new race
track.
Resorts Not Target
It Is the general opinion here
that President Rubio, in issuing his
instructions through Secretary of
Interior Portes Gil, did not mean
that Aqua Caliente, neighboring Tia
Juana, or Ensenada, further down
the coast. should be affected.
These resorts, it was pointed out,
are operated under contracts held
by Americans through the courtesy
of the government. All of the
agreements, it was said, have sew
eral years to run.
Francisco Jayier Gaziola, Secre-
tary to Governor Jose Maria Tapia
Of Baja California, was on record
as believing that the move is to
curb unauthorized gaming through
out Mexico but is not designed to
interfere with long established con-
ceSSionS.
Actors Heavy BettOrs
Many of the heavy bettors at
Aqua Caliente are members of the
Hollywood film colony. Huge losses
or winnings experienced by various
persons whose names are known
through the screen are reported
Confirmation of these stories is
difficult, however, as Aqua Caliente
keeps its secrets.
Liquor is served in the Aqua
Caliente casino, in cafes and in
the bungalows and hotel rooms,
but sharp-eyed Mexican officers are
at hand to discourage quietly any
type of rowdyism.

Aid Rules.

Seymour Water Company, Sey-
mour. must pay the penalty for not
submitting to public service COM
mission rate regulation by return
ing to the maximum rates allowed
by their city franchise of 1890.
This ruling was made by the at
torney-general's Office in an opin-
ion to Chairman John w. Nc
Cardle written by George w. HUFF
smith, assistant encouragement in
charge of utility matters.
The Seymour company refused to
accept an indeterminate permit for
their thirty year franchise upon
passage of the Spencer Shively

The franchise, signed in 1890,
really covers a Sixty-year period. as
il contains a thirty-year extension
clause, Hufsmith found.
In 1920, the Seymour city council
granted a ten-year rate increase.
which has expired.
The ruling sets out that the orig
inal rates now prevail and the COM
pany can only seek commission re-
lief by special act of the legislature.
Refund suits for the ten-year
period also might be instituted I'M

COUNTY PARK AREA
BUYING PROPOSED
Emphasis on Training for
Leisure Recommended
by Lies.

Acquisition by the county of park
areas, q merit system for appoint
ments to the city park and recre-
ational staffS, establishment of new
Fairgrounds and neighborhood
parks, and emphasis on training for
leisure in city schools were urged
by Eugene T. Lies, recreationa1 eX-
pert, in an address before the Coun-
Gil of Social Agencies town meet
ing at Caleb Mills hall, Shortridge
high school, Tuesday night.
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and
park board and recreationa1 officers
Of the city government were pres
ent.
Lies. of the Playground and Rec
reation Association of American
staff, recently completed survey
of recreational facilities and needs
here for the council. He declared
organizations should encourage en-
forcement of the new billiard room
ordinance and other laws and ordi-
nances governing commercial
amusements. Furthering of home
play throughout the city by parent
teacher associations also was urged.
Indianapolis has spent $9,970,000
on its parks and playground system
for lands, buildings and upkeep in
the last nine years" Lies said. "Its
land holdings total between 2,700
and $500 acres, one acre for each
1927 persons of the city's popula-
ton, which places it in fifth rank
as to total acreage and fourth as to
population per acre among cities of
it's class.
"On the other hand, the city has
permitted the Fairgrounds to be-
come a Jumping ground for a large
number of purely political ap-
pointees untitled for work of recrea-
ton leaders. A system of examina-
tons for selecting such employees
should be adopted"
Lies declared sixteen semi-public
agencies, including the Y. M. c. A,
Y. w. G. A, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts
and various social settlements here
spent a total of S628,000 in 1923, of
which $4,000 was raised through
the Community Fund.

CITY VICTORIOUS
IN FEDERAL GAS
C0MPA CASE
Judge Gives Stand on Law;
Final Hearing Is Set
for May |.

The city won a significant victory
in the Citizens Gas Company case
today when Federal Judge Robert C.
BaItzell overruled the motion of at
torneys for Newton l. Todd, broker,
70 strike out substantially all the
city and the company answers to
the original complaint.
Todd represents group OF
certificate Of stock holders who seek
to block the city's acquisition Of the
utility in accordance with the
original franchise granted in 1905.
Baltzeu, in commenting on the
decision, said the ruling on the mo-
ton practically decided the main
issue of the suit. May 1 was set
tentatively by Baltzell as the final
hearing date.
Appeal TO Be Taken
John W. Hoffman and Fred c.
Cause represented the city and
william H. Thompson, the utility.
Frederick f. Matson, attorney for
Todd, informed the court the plain
tiff will file amendments to the
complaint, but will raise no new
questions which will delay the case.
The steps are preliminary TO an APP
peal to the circuit court Of appeals
at Chicago.
The suit was based on the con-
tention that the 1905 agreement was
invalidated when the utility sur
rendered the franchise for an in
determinate permit under the public
service commission.
Contract Was Valid
If the motion is overruled in its
entirety, it is, in effect, an adjudica-
ton of the validity of the contract
and OF the other three questions
presented by the motion, provided,
the allegations contained in the an
sWers, relating thereto, can be
proven by the evidence" Baltzell
said. This is indicative of the
Importance of the questions pre-
sented by the motion"
There can be no doubt that the
contract in question was valid at the
time of its execution" Baltzel said,
citing statutes to show that the vol
untary surrender of the franchise
at the time an indeterminate permit
was taken out did not relieve the
utility from the agreement with the
city.
The court declared there is no
question as to the right of city to
accept a public trust" and pointed
out "it was the intention of all, in
Guiding the plaintiff in this action.
that the property of the gas COM
pany was to be operated for the
ultimate benefit of the citizens of
the city"

SCORE RECEIVER
IN LOCAL AUTO
INSURANCE CASE
OIdS Has No Right to Levy
Assessments, Lawyer
Declares.

Garrett w. Odds, receiver for the
defunct Federal Automobile 1nsur-
ance Association, has no right. under
the insurance contracts nor by
statutes governing reciprocal insur-
ance companies. to collect assess
ments, Hubert Hickam. attorney for
policyholders contended today in re-
buttal arguments in superior court
four.
Under the contract signed by
10000 Indiana association members.
only the attorney in fact for the as
ISOLATION or an attorney in fact, APP
pointed by him, may collect assess
ments, Hickam said.
Olds was not appointed at the
request of the attorney in fact, the
Federal Underwriters, Inc, but Ems
ley w. johnson was named as its re-
ceiver. To Johnson, Hickam asserted,
were delegated the powers Of attor-
ney in fact, yet Johnson never has
attempted to collect an assessment.
Appointment Is Void
Rebuttal arguments, which were
to close late this afternoon after a
discussion by Perry O'Neill. also at

Arguments are being held as re-
suit of the filing of an intervening

the matter under advisement.

void, the court not having any juris-
diction in the appointment Of the

am said.
Give Mayor Points
The hearing began Tuesday, when
Fac w. Patrick, attorney for Olds
argued the entire day for a dis
missal of the petition for the re-
ceiver's removal.
The three major points were set
forth by Patrick in support of his
contention that the receivership Is
proper. They are:
l. That the law gave the court
jurisdiction to appoint a receiver
and to administer funds.
Got Cheap Insurance
2. That the court (ex-Superior
Judge Byron K. Elliott) had the
right to make assessments and to
enforce collection of such.
3, That the petition of intervenors
is q collateral attack and was not
made within a thirty-da period
provided by statute.
These people," Patrick said, re-
terring to policyholders, went cut
to get cheap insurance, and they
got it. But they agreed at the same
time. that if what they paid for was
not sufficient to pay off obligations
of the association, that they would
