A. Ritzen, of 206 West Colton avenue.

Admitting that he had not realized the tremendous value of the instrument, Ritzen stated yesterday that two armed guards came to Redlands to escort the violin to Los Angeles. Ritzen had possessed the instrument as security for a loan which he had advanced to its owner, a resident of Los Angeles. Through the Wurlitzer Co. the astonishing sale was arranged, Ritzen was repaid his loan and the violin was surrendered to new owners, said Ritzen. "The violin was made by Tuof-foenberger (variously spelled Tief-embrucker and Duiffoprugcar), who did his work in the sixteenth century," said Ritzen.

"Two years ago I advanced a loan to a Los Angeles friend, whoso name I will not disclose, and he entrusted the violin to me as security. In various appearances with symphony orchestras in the San Bernardino valley, I played this remarkable instrument without realizing that it could be worth $17,000 or anywhere near that amount.

I had been giving the violin reasonably good care, to be sure, but I would have been unable to sleep had I been aware of the fact that such a valuable instrument was in my household." The violin was elaborately inlaid with various rare types of wood. On the end of the instrument was a picture of John the Baptist, made of wooden inlays. "The finish of the instrument was so perfect," said Ritzen, "that the joints of the inlaid wood could not be detected by the most sensitive touch.

The pattern on the back of the instrument had the appearance of the city in which the violin was made." "Tiefenbrucker was a German maker of lutes," said Dr. Iwar S. Westerbcrg, head of the University of Redlands department of education, whose hobby is making violins. "So little is known about him, many authorities doubt that he made violins, although a few have been credited to him." Prof. Rowland Leach, of the university's music department, used the spelling Duiffoprugcar and described him as "an almost legendary maker of musical instruments." He had played on the Ritzen violin, said Professor Leach.

DEO RAIEROAD ECKO IN COURT Formally closing an important chapter in railroad history of the San Bernardino valley, action in superior court Feb. 8 is expected to erase all rights that might be claimed by the former San Bernardino Redlands Railroad Co. and its last surviving officer, D. P. Ewing, of San Francisco.

Action to quiet title has been filed in the court by the Southern Pacific railroad, which in 1904 bought the right-of-way over which trains had been running between Redlands and San Bernardino. Agreement to quiet title has come from Ewing, who is trustee for the defunct company. He is the only living director of the firm, which forfeited its state charter March 3, 1917. Although the San Bernardino-Redlands trains continued to operate on a narrow-gauge track for 10 years after the right-of-way was sold to the Southern Pacific, service was abandoned in 1914. Power Program Start Planned (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan.

4 Secretary Ickes, the public works administrator, said today the Government would make an effort to get its public power development program under way by early spring. His announcement followed a statement by Attorney General Cummings that the department of justice would act immediately to ob tain dissolution of injunctions which have tied up PWA projects in 23 states. Cummings said there were 61 cases pending throughout the coun try which would be controlled by yesterday supreme court decision clearing the way for operation of the Government's program. The high tribunal decided the Alabama and Duke power companies had no legal right to challenge the validity of PWA loans and grants to local governmental subdivisions. Unofficially, it was estimated at the justice department injunctions had been issued in 47 of the 61 cases.

Forty-nine were Hied in the Federal district court of the Dis trict of Columbia, eight in other district courts, and four in state courts. Mrs. Goldsmith to Appear in Redlands The return of Mrs. Lillian Burk- hart Goldsmith is promised for the program of the Redlands Community Music association on next Tues day evening announced Mrs. George E.

Mullen last night. A small, but slightly larger crowd than has been attending the winter concerts, saw a lovely program of Russian dances and music given last night by a group of talented Russians from Hollywood. The artists gave outstanding interpretations of the music of their native country, appearing in lovely native costumes for the program. Mrs. Goldsmith, well known crit ic, news commentator and dramatic reader, will be welcomed back to Redlands by her host of friends.

She has just arrived back on the coast from New York City, where she attended the new plays and met many new personages. Also on next Tuesday evening's program will be a group of local artists, who will be presented in a short program by Mrs. Arthur T. Gage, BONDHOLDERS' PLEA HEARD IN COURT SESSION Case Involving $125,000 to Be Continued at Later Date; City Seeks to Escape Whether stockholders of the East Lugonia Mutual Water Co. of Red-lands may be sued individually for the $125,000 bonded indebtedness of the company was debated throughout the afternoon yesterday in superior court.

Eesides the scores of Redlands citizens, who are financially interested through ownership of stock or bonds, the municipality, itself, was involved in the procedure. The city owns a one-fourth share of the company in addition to $12,500 in bonds. SEEK $125,000 Judge Benjamin F. Warmer heard the afternoon's argument by opposing attorneys, then continued the healing to a date that will be fixed later. J.

G. Pyle, acting as attorney for the bondholders as well as for the intervening trustee, the Title Insurance Trust submitted written briefs to augment his argument. Attorney John Surr represented the stockholders, who are defendants in the bondholders' endeavor to enforce payment of $125,000 in bonds, on which there have been no payments of principal or interest since Nov. 18, 1832. Paul B.

Wilson, city attorney, stood by as guardian of Redlands' municipal interests. J. W. Morin, attorney for the plaintiffs, was unable to attend. Pyle acted in his behalf.

ENGINEER DEFENDANT Percy E. Hicks, Redlands engineer, appeared as the only stockholder, upon whom summons had been served. His appearance in the case was stipulated as the equivalent of all stockholdiers' presence in court. The water company, which has been in distressed circumstances in ecent years, was incorporated Dec. 8, 1921.

The original $200,000 issue of first mortgage serial gold bonds was to bear 6V4 per cent. Including 1931, annual payments were made, reducing the bonds to the extent of $75,000. COMMITTEE ACTS After numerous attempts to reach an agreement, the bondhold ers placed their bonds in trust and named a defense committee that includes George P. Cortner, busi ness manager of the University of Redlands, Andrew W. Stewart and Robert Casamajor.

This committee launched proceedings, which failed in superior court. The action that was heard yesterday is a renewed endeavor by the bondholders to realize on their investment. Whether Redlands taxpayers are to be held liable for the city's one-fourth share in the company is a question that will be settled before the present action is concluded. Mrs. Inman Greets Visitor at Lovely Luncheon, Bridge Mrs.

COURT ERASES CITT HALL ACT Krumm Loses First Movement to Prevent Building but Says He Will Continue Fight Although superior court yesterday erased a temporary restraining order against erection of a new Redlands city hall, the action spelled no end to trouble that will be placed in the way of the project, it was claimed. "I am not defeated and I will keep on fighting," said Theodore Krumm, former councilman, who had sought an injunction preventing the city council from razing the old city hall and erecting a new one. Judge Benjamin F. Warmer yesterday voiced an oral opinion that looked bad from Krumm's case, but the city still is required to file answer to Krumm's injunction suit. INJUNCTION DENIED Judge Warmer's decision yesterday was a denial of a temporary injunction, which would prevent the council from proceeding with its city hall plan while Krumm's suit is awaiting a place on the trial calendar.

At least two factors continue to hamper the city hall project: (1) The council and the WPA probably will move gingerly while the possibility of a permanent injunction exists, and (2) the WPA must be encouraged anew to commence the oft-interrupted project. Judge Warmer yesterday voiced sentiments that tended to undermine Krumm's principal arguments against the council's city hall program. FUNDS AVAILABLE "The court has nothing to do with the wisdom or unwisdom of the council's policy in this matter," said Judge Warmer, "but the power is resident with the council to proceed along present lines. "Revenues of the city's water de partment are revenues of the mu nicipality and need not be consid ered as a separate fund, which the council may not use for a city hall or any other municipal expense. Furthermore, I know of no law that requires that a municipal water department must be exactly in bal ance on the first of, each year.

If there is a deficit, it must be paid from the so-called general fund of the city. In like manner, if there is a surplus, it may be used in the general fund. PROSPECTS ENOUGH "It is not necessary for a municipality actually to have the funds at hand before incurring an obligation such as the financing of a city hall. In this case the city has shown a reasonable anticipation of funds sufficient to finance the project." Paul B. Wilson, city attorney, attacked Krumm's argument that a financial famine exists in the city coffers but maintaining that some $35,000 is available from various funds.

In addition, he said, there is an anticipated $20,000 water department profit for the current fiscal year. TELLS OPPOSITION Attorney Theodore G. Krumm, son of the former councilman, contended that the council is without legal right to plan a city hall be cause: (1) A city may not legally incurr any debt in excess of the current year's revenues; (2) no budget and tax provision for a city hall was made; (3) water department funds may not be diverted for such purposes; (4) the council has no legal right to proceed with such an obligation without a two-thirds favorable vote from the people. C. J.

Tripp, city treasurer, was the only witness. He testified regarding the condition of the city treasury. RFC Not to Change Erie Railway Stand (By Associated Presa) WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The Reconstruction Finance corporation stood firm today in its refusal to make a $6,006,000 loan to the Erie railroad unless the Chesapeake Ohio guaranteed payment.

C. E. Denney, president of the Erie, conferred with Jesse H. Jones, said the situation was not changed "one bit" by the confer ence. The Erie failed yesterday to meet bond interest aggregating Jones, in a formal statement, said this was "due entirely to refusal by the Chesapeake Ohio" to assist the Erie.

The Erie intended to use the $6,006,000 loan to meet maturing obligations and fixed charges.

I COLTON SOCIETY Valley History Is Presented Jerome B. Kavanaugh, district attorney for San Bernardino county, was guest speaker last evening for members of the Colton Business and Professional Wom en's club who met at the Anderson hotel. Early history of San Bernardino valley was sketched by the speaker, who makes a hobby of collecting facts about his native city of San Bernardino and its environs.

California history, District Attor ney Kavanaugh Degan, actually goes back to the time of Marco Polo, whose tales of the wealth and beauty of the Orient began the movement which resulted in the discovery of the New World. Fifty years after Columbus discovered America, he said, the Span iards had settled San Diego. An interesting account of the Russian settlers in California was given briefly by the speaker, who pointed out a number of old Rus sian landmarks which may yet be seen by travelers in the state. He also touched upon the founding of the string of Spanish missions es tablished in the early eighteenth century and upon the coming of DeAnza, who laid out the route from Mexico to San Gabriel. It was in 1774, he said, that the first white man entered San Ber nardino valley.

Not long after that, he continued, Jedediah Strong Smith came into the valley, the first white man to come by the overland route into what is now California. Another interesting fact pointed out by Kavanaugh was that Smith and his party stopped at the Asistencia mission near Redlands to replenish their sup plies and overhaul their equipment, A brief account of the Mormons' advent into the valley was given at the conclusion of the address, San Bernardino, the speaker said was established in 1851 and was laid out bv tbe same man who planned Salt Lake City, the Mor mon capital in Utah.
