As Ella Enslow, she is known to magazine and book readers and to audiences over the country. Under that name she collaborated with Alvin F. Har- low, D.

 pr. Guy Emery Simpler, editor of the Churchman, New York, brides himself on having discovered Mrs. Murray's high value as a speaker and says: "She has a charming personality, a keen mind and IS a vivid speaker.
 pr. William w. Patton, pastor of the Glen Ridge, New Jersey Congre- gational church, who opened ms morning pulpit to her, said: "she is one of the ablest and most bril- liant speakers I have ever heard. Her combination of storytelling ability and winning personality makes her address irresistible"

 The chairman of the program committee of the Chicago Rotary Club said after her address before that organization: "She is without a superior as a speaker. She IS equal to any who ever appeared as our Club"

VIOLATION OF
STATUE LAID
7 0 DISTRICT
Injunction A Against
Brawley Plant
Requested

Beginning another chap
ter in the long history of
litigation surrounding t h e
| m p erial Irrigation Dis
trict's standby power plant
at Brawley, the Southern Sierras
Power company Friday filed suit
in superior court seeking an in
junction to prevent the district
from operating its plant or dis
tributing power to Brawley con-
SumerS.
Counsel for the district will ap-
pear in Superior court here at
$50 a. m. July to show cause
why temporary injunction should
not be granted during pendency
of the suit, under an order issued
at the request of the power COM
pany when the suit was filed.
The power company charges that
the district has been guilty of
l31 specific violations of railroad
commission safety order No. 64-A
and California statutes in estao-
fishing its Brawley system. 1t
further charges that the violations
endanger the property of the pow
er company and the lives of its
employe. insufficient clearance OF
competing lines is the basis OF
most alleged violations.
Defendants Listed
Named as defendants are the
Imperial Irrigation District, Su-
perintendent M. j. Dowd, PreoI-
dent Evan T. HeWeS and Directors
Mark Rose, Ira Aten, Charles Nor
row and w. E. Young. The suit
was filed by Ross T. Hickox and
Charles Provence, Ell Centre, and
Henry w. Coil and c. N. Perkins,
Riverside, attorneys for the powe:
company. 1t will be defended By
Chief Counsel Harry w. Horton
and George Kirk, assistants, for
the irrigation district.
The injunction is asked to pre-
vent the district from transmit
ting electrical energy over any CT
its lines 80 long as the same are
or shall be maintained or operated
in violation of any of the provi-
SionS of said General Order No
64-A of the railroad commission of
the state of California or of Chap
ter 400, Laws of 1911, as amended
by Chapter 600, Laws of lis, and
from constructing maintaining or
operating further poles lines, wires
or other structures, facilities or
appurtenanceS'
Obstruction Charged
The complaint further charges
that large and dangerous volt
ages of electricity" on the district
system will cause obstruction to
the free use of plaintiffs property
. . . and unless an injunction be
granted such structures will
cause numerous and repeated in
juries and damages to the property
of the plaintiff and will cause
bodily injuries to and impair the
health of plaintiffs employees"
In most instances insufficient
clearance between power company
properties and district lines is
charged. One charge is that "at
the second pole east of Third
street in the alley north of I
street, there is only 10-inch
clearance between defendants Sc
condary circuit and plaintiffs serv-
ice wires and pole" 1t is alleged
that the railroad commission order
requires 24-inch clearance.
