 TANCLE AGAIN,
 SUNDAY JOUST
Top-spot Moose Squad Has Score to Settle with
 Island Nine

Once again riding at the top of the Gastineau Channel baseball heap, the defending oh a m D o n Moose team will undertake to de- fend it's position against the Doug las Islanders tomorrow evening at Firemen's Park, in nine-inning game commencing at 5:30 o'clock Incidentally, the Paps will also be out to avenge the opening day de- feat handed them by the Islanders.
 Douglas will be handicapped in to- morrow's battle by being without the services of first-string catcher Red Gray, who suffered a split thumb on his throwing hand in the Island aggregation's last game with the Elks. Gray will probably be unable to return to the diamond this season.
 With more than a weeks rest be- hind him, Douglas ace mounds man, Claude Erskine will likely climb on the slab for the Islanders, while Bob Kimball. who turned in a tidy performance as the Paps de- feated the Elks last Sunday, will probably serve them up for the Black Sox

 With Koski and Converse doing the hurling for the Elks and Moose respectively. the game started off without undue display of fireworks. neither squad getting far in the first time up. The second inning, however, saw the Moose bunch the first of their three hits, with an Elks pebble to put Jack Schmitz on the third corner, from where he stole home when Molly MacSpadden juggled the horsehide at first.
 Triple
 Molly MacSpadden tripled to lead off the second inning for the Pur- ples and was driven across by John son, who was safe when Werner threw wide, Johnson swiped sec- ond and scored after Bardi's long fly to center
 After a quiet third inning, the Paps went to work on Koski and the Elks' lead in the first of the fourth Two walks and dropped throw at first filled the bases for the Moose, then Tex Hawkins dropped a bunt that squeezed Mar tin across. while he beat out the throw to first himself. Koski gave up the ghost and Big Mac" Mas Spadden took over. Converses sac rifice sent two more Black Sox runs across, and another walk and another error filled first and sec ond again Snow doubled two run ners across. Six runs more for the Moose, making the count T to 2.
 That Seventh Frame
 All was serene till the last of the seventh, when, with two out, sim gle, a hit batter, and another single filled the bags for the Elks.

Jury Fails
to Vote Any
Indictm ents
Jurors Discount the
Story of Miss
Douglas

LOS ANGELES, June 18.
lUG-The Los Angeles coun-
ty grand jury, after investi-
eating for two days a film
extras story she was ravish-
ed at the notorious Hollywood
"hawmow" party, refused Thursday
to vote any indictments.
The jury's action cleared Dave
Ross. portly Chicago film sales eX-
ecutive. whom 20-year-old Patricia
Douglas accused of attacking her
after she became i'll from Whiskey
she said she was forced TO drink.
In refusing to indict. the jury
presumably discounted completely
stories of Miss Douglas and two
veteran walters that the party,
staged by Metro-GoldWyn-Mayer
for its statesmen, was the widest,
most drunken, and rotteneSt' ever
held in the film capital.
The jurys decision that evidence
dld not warrant prosecution was
announced by Deputy District At
tory U. u. Blalock.
The grand jurors deliberated only
few minutes after hearing testi-
mony Of two parking lot attendants
who took Miss Douglas to a first
aid station at the party ranch, that
Ross was not the man they saw
with her a few minutes before she
reported she had been attacked
and asked for medical aid.
The parking attendants, Clement
Soth and Asa Carter, followed Ross
into the grand jury room.
Ross denied Miss Douglas charges.
He said he had one drink at the
table where She sat, danced once
each with her and another girl,
wandered away to watch the enter
tainment, and last saw her in COM
pany of a group he took to be her
friends
The two walters, Oscar Buddin
and Henry Schultz, painted a SEN
sational picture of the party at
which, they declared, anything
could have happened"

Second to None Motto
of America i'm
Program

WASHINGTON, June 19.
(UP)-The United States
government prepared today
to match gun-for-gun in its
Second to none" navy with
those of foreign battleships as dis
patches from abroard indicated that
Japan had rejected a move by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to reduce the size of
sea armaments of the great powers.
The chief executive, it was un-
derstood, asked all chief naval
powers whether they were willing
to limit the size of battleship guns
to IA inches. His action was promp-
ted by the fact that this govern
ment is preparing to construct two
new 35,000-ton Warships and a de-
cisicon must be made soon on
whether the ships will carry Ia of
16-inch guns.
AS the presidents action became
known, Secretary of the Navy
Claude A. Swanson opened bids for
the two new WarShips with the terSe
warning that the country lis loathc
to begin rivalry" with other powers
in the mounting of 16-inch guns
on its new craft.
The new battleships are to re-
place over-age vessels. The u. S
now has Is battleships, and seven
including the two which the new
vessels will replace, are now over
age. The lowest bid opened today
was for $55,875, 1924 submitted b!
the New York Shipbuilding cor
corporation of Comden, N. j.; Beth
lehem Shipbuilding corporation, o
Quincy, Mass, bid $59,900000.
The amount Of the bids startled
naval officers and brought from
them private hints that the navy
custom Of building one ship in {
private yard and one in nav
yard may be changed and that bot
may be constructed in navy yards

DISTRICT ASKS
TO INTERVENE
IN INJUNCTION

Continued from Page One)
the federal government has III
right TO finance the construction oi
a municipal power system which
will be in competition with an es.
tablished private system.
The District or COLUMBIA su-
/ preme court, where the suit was
! filed, will listen to arguments We'd
neSday for and against the lnjunc-
! ton. President Evan T HeweS OF
the irrigation district described the
continuance to Wednesday as 4
cheerful indication, pointing out
that the court acted favorably TO
the government when it did not is
sue a temporary injunction Thurs
day afternoon. 1t was believed.
however, that the Public Works
Administration had agreed i'll the
courtroom that It viii not attempt
TO make funds available to the
district before the case is heard.
Against the adverse public reac-
ton which followed filing of the
injunction suit, President West of
the power company issued this
statement:
we believe that it is a well eS-
tablShed buSineS principle that
the management of every business
enterprise has a definite duty TO
the stockholders in that enterprise
TO guard and protect their inter-
eStS. 1t has been and stlll is our
belief that the interests of 1mpe-
rial Valley also will best be serv-
ed by developing the fullest use OF
the power facilities on the All Am
erican canal and the sale of the
total output TO the company thus
avoiding the duplication of invest
ment and consequent losses involy-
ed in endless competition.
Await Ruling
The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States has not yet passed upon
the constitutionality OF the right
of the federal government to ad-
vance funds TO be used IN compe-
tition with an established enter
prise, involving duplication of IA
cilities and division of business,
As per cent of the funds 50 adj
yanced being an outright gift.
In the particular circumstances
us in the valley, it is
obviously the duty of the board OF
directors and management of the
Nevada California Electric CorpoT-
alton to protect the interests Of the
corporations stockholders To the
best OF ther ability pending a final
decision by the Supreme Court OF
the United States on this vital
question. Acting under this OBJ
legation we have found it necessary
TO make application in the federal
district court of the District OF
Columbia for a temporary reSrain-
ing order against the Public Works
advancing funds
contemplated in the proposed con-
tract between the Imperial Irriga
ton District and the P.W.A.
We believe that the justice OF
our position in this matter Will be
recognized by every fair-mindeG
person in Imperial Valley"
