FOR CONTEMPT

NEW YORK. Oct. 4. U.P)-Hen-
ry T. Moore. the juror whose ac-
ton brought the trial of United

"a hours to raise the fine and eS-
cape serving five days in Jail.
Moore was a member of the fed
eral court jury trying Davis on in
dictments charging violation of

merce. The lotteries were alleged
to have been connected with char
ity balls sponsored by the Loyal

mates. The trial ended in a mis-
trial because of Moore's action.

chambers of Judge Henry H. Cole
man and threw himself upon the

Rose Hopeful
Of POstpOnement
By BOndholders

Hope that Imperial Irrigation
district bondholders will see fit to
arrange a postponement of princi-
pal payments and a reduction in
interest Was expressed in the
weekly district board meeting this
morning when Director Mark Rose
submitted q report VI a recent con-
ference with a bondholders' COM
mittee in Los Angeles.
LAS far as could be judged by
the meeting" said the director,
the bondholders did not appear to
be opposed to a fair settlement of
the proposition. While they made
no statement at the time and an
nounced thug would study the mat
ter further, their attitude was
friendly. They asked many ques-
tons concerning the local situa-
ton with special interest in the
S1.50 tax rate.
AT their request, / explained
that the board felt that was the
limit the people could pay. With
IS and a fraction per cent delin-
queney to date, we felt that it
would be impossible for the re-
naming SO per cent to carry the
district. We wanted to encourage
the property owner to pay up,
explained 90 them.
I'VE asked that the bondholders
help us protect their securities I'M
til times are better when the I'm
perial Irrigation district can car
ry its obligations.
They said they would send a
committee down here and I sug-
gested that the bondnolders get to-
gether with the banks, insurance
companies and large mortgage hold
ers as well as representatives of the
county in order that all interested
might be informed.
What we asked for was an adj
justment, not a reputation as the
Imperial Valley will meet its OBJ
ligaions. All we need is an ad-
juStment.
when they asked if most of the
landowners in the valley did not
live elsewhere, l told them we had
SIS per cent non resident land
owners. We have too many owners
of valley land who live in other
places. They collect the rents and
spend the money elsewhere"
