oped intelligence is an honor to any

always be used for good. He had
money, which when rightly gained
and used, is powerful and honor
able possession. Above all, he had

Review of Utility
Bond Sale Case
Denied by Court

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ia fUP)-
The supreme court today denied the
petition of the Pacific Gas & Elec-
trict company for review of lower
court decisions refusing to enjoin
sale of $12,000,00O of bonds of the
Sacramento Municipal utility dis
trict.
Proceeds of the bonds, according
to the company's petition, are to be
used to construct a new power
system in the Sacramento area
which will seriously harm or nullify
value of the company's own power
system in the area.
The company also sought to es-
cape payment of taxes, levied by
the district, for support Of the
bonds The company said that the
taxes were levied generally through
the area to be served by the pro-
posed new system, on The theory
that all within the area would
benefit from the system and should
bear a proportionate share of the
cost.

HENDAYE, French-Span. From
tier July 26. CUP)-Spanish Loyal
lists, in a sudden offensive on the
Mediterranean front, have crossed
the Bro river, anchor line of the
Nationalist left wing, at several
points along a so mile front, it
was disclosed today
A Nationalist official commu-
nique, admitting that the Loyal
lists had crossed the river at two
points, said that they did so with
the aid of part of the civilian
population.
The Loyalists said that they had
penetrated the Nationalist lines to
a depth of II miles without meet
ing serious resistance or suffering
material losses, that they had taken
800 prisoners in the thinly held
Nationalist line in addition to ar
tillery and other war material.
and that the Insurgent defenders
were still fleeing.

per cent monthly cut. E. B. Mason,
Imperial Valley manager for the
company, said Tuesday. He de-
clared the reduction was voluntary
on the part of the company.
The average gas consumer in
Imperial Valley, he explained, uses
$500 cubic feet a month. The con-
sumer's bill for a 1000 feet a
month under the present rate
WOULD mean a bill of $212 Under
the reduced rates effective on
Sept. l meter readings his bill will
be Sl.94, or 18 cents less. Users
of 5000 cubic feet a month now
get bills for $472. The new rate
will reduce the bill to $4.29 or 43
cents less.
Mason promised substantial saw
ingS for big and little users of gas
sold by the company and declared
he is convinced the company will
benefit because more valley resi-
dents will decide to use gas for
cooking, house, office and store
heating, and water heating when
the rates go into effect Sept. /. The
company will sell more gas, he
said, to pay the cost of the reduc-
ton to the individual consumer.

as to why Schoenburg shot him
Il wish you would tell me. That
was a dirty trick In conclusion
Sharp said he asked Meyers if any
one but Schoenburg was with him
at the time he was shot and Mey-
ers said there was no one else.
A 80 calibre bullet taken from
Meyers spine after he died, was

clan at the county hospital. The
physician said he found powder
burns on Meyers skin in the vicin-

Possible connection between the
burning of the Freedman shed,
the place Schoenburg and Meyers
both had worked, and the shooting
was not touched upon at the in
quest although Fire Chief c. S.

Reed said investigators from the
coast are attempting to ascertain
the origin of the fire which de-

Friday. The shed was burning when

of the fire was being searched
