BOARD CLOSES
POWER PARLEY
WITH COMPANY
(Continued from PAGE u

(COntlnueu from Page u
slider the proposal of the district
that the Southern Sierras system in
Imperial Valley be sold immediate
ly to the district, but re-stating
the company's willingness to enter
into a cooperative plan and sell to
the district at the end of eight
years. The result was the board S
action breaking off negotiations
for cooperative operation.
Vests Letter
such a proposal is impossible
of acceptance by the company for
at least two reasons" Vests letter
said. First: such a sale would
leave the company with approx
imately S5,000,000 of investment in
power generating and transmits
SIGN facilities installed for the
service of the Imperial Valley area,
which would be left useless on our
hands with the loss of this terri
tory. This is entirely outside OF
the investment the company has
in local transmission and diStribu-
ton facilities.
Second: The sale at this time
of the cOmpany'S properties and
business in Imperial Valley would
abruptly deprive it of about 35 per
cent of it's electrical revenues,
which would have disastrous ef-
feet on its earnings and ability
to function as a public utility. The
period of eight years which the
company'S offer provided should
elapse before the district should
have the right to take over Its
properties, is the shortest time
in which the shock of losing such
an important part CT its business
could be absorbed"
Proposal Rejected
To this the district board replled
with a resolution and letter flatly
stating that the district will net
enter into negotiations for any
cooperative plan, and will CONSIDER
only outright purchase OF the pow
er company's system.
This board endeavored to make
it plain that no proposal based on
a cooperative plan would be &C
ceptable, but since this apparently
was not made clear, We wish at
this time to state definitely that
this board will not negotiate
settlement on any cooperative
plan,' the boards letter said.
Evan T. Hewes, chairman OF the
board. later issued this statement:
ut is difficult to understand why
in this last letter, the power COM
pany should deliberately misrepre-
sent the situation as was done IN
the first letter. If West IS sim
cere, why does he make the state
ment that if the district plan were
accepted, it would mean that the
power company's S5,0O0,0OO worth
of transmission and generation
capital would be of no use when
he knows that whether the system
is operated by the district Or the
company prior to completion OF
the All American canal, the power
would have to be furnished by the
power company?
West also implies that the pow
er project of the district would
increase the burden en- the lands
of the valley, despite the fact that
he knows the power project Wouto
be financed by revenue bonds pay
able solely from the sale OF power
and will not be direct obligation
on the lands of the valley"

SEN. BANKHEAD
 STRIKES COURT

Washington, January 9 - (UP)- Senator John H. Bankhead, demo- crat, Alabama, today attacked the supreme court for its AAA ruling and called on President Roosevelt to protect farm prices, if necessary, by expanding the currency. Bank head minced no words in his con- demnation of the courts action. He told the senate that if the govern ment was to abandon efforts to con- trol corps 8 race of production" was inevitable.
 ''If this administration IS deprived of aiding farmers to get fair price through methods heretofore so suc- cessfully employed" he said, Tt has another way to accomplish the same result. "If 1t become necessary the President can protect farm prices by increasing the currency. He has the power, and think he should exercise it, to issue currency against all the silver owned by the govern- ment and against the gold now lying sterile in the treasury. Tt seems incredible that currency expan- sion, covered by 100 per cent gold, could in any way impair the sound- ness of our money. Expansion ot the currency within the stated limits will doubtless protect farm prices" ,"

Advocates claim that the bill reduces in half the total immediate cost of the bonus payment over any other pre- vious measure. They said that 1t viii mean an outlay of cash around $l, 100, 900, ,000 aside from funds avail able already.
 The bill sponsored by Representa- tives Fred M. Vinson, democrat Kentucky, and John Mccormick democrat, Massachusetts and Wright Patman, democrat, Texas, author ot the bill to pay the bonus through Issuance of $2,200,OO0,O 900 in green backs" This powerful trio reached an agreement to vote down any amendment not sponsored by the house ways and means committee, thus assuring passage of the bill al- most intact.

Under no circumstances will I attempt to substitute my currency expansion bill for the measure be- fore the house."
 One hour will be allotted for dis- cussion of the rule for the bill and four hours will be given to general debate. Chairman John J.

FOUR YOUTHS TO
 PAY FULL PRICE
They Will Die in Chair To- night For Murder of
 N. Y. Policeman

Ossining, N. r., Jan. 9-(UP)- Four youths who were convicted of the murder of a New York police man were removed today to pre- execution cells. preparatory to their electrocutions tonight. Unless Gov erncr Herbert H. Lehman intervenes, the quartet will die about Il D. m. The youths. Ray Orley, 2l, Newman Raymond, 21, Thomas Rooney, 20, and Amerigo Angelini, 20, were taken from their regular death house cells shortly before noon.
 Each Was Made Ready
 Each was dressed in black suit, had his head shaved, gave orders for his last two meals and then sat by to pray for communication of sen- tence or a reprieve in the few hours left.
 Various welfare groups have asked the governor to intercede because of the ages of the convicted killers. Nelson Clark, 67, once prominent in Massachusetts politics and now serv- ing prison term, also has asked the governor to spare the four. Clark was convicted of receiving goods stolen by the youths.

~~~~~-"~-~~-
 New York, Jan. 9-(UP)-Stocks, bonds, and commodities declined in a late rush of selling today.
 Unloading of stocks, gained such momentum that the tape fell be- hind. Bonds reacted after a sub- stantial runup that was led by railroad and oil issues. Cotton fut- ures were weak. Sugar eased.
 The losses came in the face of imitation talk that circulated in world markets. Europe took ser- iously the suggestion of the conl- nittee for the nation yesterday that President Roosevelt exercise his prerogative and raise the gold price to $4l per ounce. That would make the dollar worth 50 cents in terms of the old gold parity that prevail ed before the, Roosevelt adminis- tration took over.
 First repercussions of these rur1- ors were sharp declines in the dollar in world markets. The French franc scared against the dollar until 1t neared parity. The Netherlands guilder topped its par. Other cur- rencies made wide gains including the pound sterling.
 In an ordinary market imitation talk alone might bring @ substan- tial rise. In the present instance, uncertainties over the farm relief situation now that the AAA has been declared unconstitutional were sufficient to offset any favorable factor.
 oil shares had good news in the form of price advances in East Texas crude. Most of the leaders in the group made new highs, but sagged later.
 Rails had a period of strength that carried the Dow-JoneG average to Q new high since 1884. They, too, reacted and were irregular at the close.
 Issues that made new highs for a year or longer, included Air Reduc- ton, which touched 184 up g; Amer. ican Agricultural Chemical, Electric Boat, National Biscuit, Radio Keith Orpheum, and Westinghouse Elec- tric. The latter skipped back to around the hundred mark.
 Silver shares got play on hopes the silver dollar would be devalued thereby raising the price of silver metal. Business news included the report of the automobile manufac- turers association for 1885 which showed @ rise of 40 per cent in au- tomobile production by its members aS compared with 1884.
 The United States Steel Corpora ton will report December ship- ments of finished steel at noon to- morrow. Estimates were they would show a moderate decline from the 68l ,S20 tons reported at the end of November.

 Intervention of the grand jury followed indications that at least two officials ordered to investigate legality of, the surgery, were con- vinced it constituted mayhem. Miss Hewitt's civil suit claims she was sterilized while under the impress sion that she was undergoing an appendectonly.

was investigated in September, 1884, and that Moore could not identify either Bruno Richard Hauptmann or the woman.
 Hauck said Moore wasn't sure about the pictures shown him in 1884 and is not now positive that Hauptmann was the man in the car.
 Hauck took a stenographic tram script of Moore's statement and said he would offer it to Attorney Gen. eral David T. Wilentz, who prose- cuted Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the Kidnapping. He said he was impressed by the story.
 Moorde gave Hauck the name of 8 woman closely resembling the woman seen in the automobile.
 "He told me-" Hauck said, "that he saw her in the car near the Lindbergh estate with man who resembled Hauptmann. Moore could not see the man very well because he was shielded by the woman. That was some months before the kid- naping. Moore later went to Flem- ington and saw the woman in the street. He told me he did not want to get mixed up in the case at that time."
 Another Angle ] At Trenton, Governor Harold G. Hoffman revealed that he had re- ceived from New York city letter signed "J. J. Faulkner" declaring that Hauptmann is innocent of the murder and that "the worst he should get is life in prison"
 He has sent the letter to a hand writing expert to compare with the signature of the U. J. Faulkner" un- der whose name $20,000 of the ran- som bills were deposited in New York bank. He said the writing was quite similar.
