Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. U.R)-Rail-
road shares again led the STOCK
market into higher ground today
after a period of irregularity early
in the session.
The carrier shares moved up frac-
tions to more than 2 points. Their
performance was not as spectacular
as that of yesterday but in rela-
ton to the remainder of the market
it was considered equally signifi-
cant.
Industrial issues were depressed
by week lend profit-taking, but they
rallied with the rails before the
close.
Volume was light since many ira
ders left the market for an extended
holiday through Monday.
There was no news of market sig
nificance. The street continued to
look for favorable announcement
shortly from the interstate COM
merce commission regarding a high
or freight rate, but that body gave
no indication of when the report
would be issued or of its contents
Steel common broke below 70 in
tho early trading, rallied to 7li,,
up a point and then slipped back
toward the close as the time drew
near for the corporations report on
untitled tonnage as of the end OF
September.
Other leading industrials and
utilities came back from early lows
with the railroad group.

DISTRICT FILES
DEMURRERS In
DAMAGE SUITS

Demurrers to two Salton Sea land
suits and an answer to third COM
plant were filed in superior court
this morning by the Imperial Irrig-
alton District
Demurrers were filed to the COM
plants of B. j. Skupen and F.. o.
and Lena Goodspeed, while the
complaint OF Joe Noble was an
swered.
Each of the suits seeks damages
for flooding of land near the Salton
Sea by waste water drained into
that body.
Answering the complaint of Noble,
the district denied water in excess
of the need of Imperial Valley has
been taken from the Colorado river
and flowed through district canals.
1t was also denied the district is
responsible for water seeping under
and flooding Mobiles land.
In denying the land in question
is sufficiently above the natural
level of the Salton Sea to escape
inundation, the district pointed out
in its answer this land has never
at any time been more than eight
feet above that level.
The district, said the answer.
holds a perpetual easement over
the land in question and by this
is entitled to flow waste water into
the sea. 1t also is the contention
of the district such an action as
that taken by Noble is denied by
law.

show might go on, if it must, but
its manner of business must change

The manager of the show proved
agreeable to whatever the law
might say. and the show did go on,
but minus one game for a time. un-

talked, heaping figurative Goals of
fire on the district attorneys head
Heald began his talk this morn
ing. Much shorter than that of
Hervey, yet it was as eloquent.
While Hervey told of the Einstein
theory in propOunding the perSpec-
tive of the district attorney on pro-
secution. Heald took ancient Greek
history in pleading that Mouzakis,
as an undesirable member Of a
great race, be punished.
Heald told the Jurors of the court
room feud between himself and
Hervey. and asked them not to con-
slider 1t in arriving at a decision
as TO Mouzakis' guilt.
