In separate Friday hearings Judge L R Carson and Judge Ira Morrison heard Elmer Schneider’s request for a new Riverside county supervisor election amid dispute over ballot clarity and recount conduct. A Rock Island Railroad attorney opposed a Central Iowa Railway Co injunction to prevent tearing up rails, arguing rails are personal property not real estate and that CIRC lacks Interstate Commerce Commission credentials.

Dollar Gains and Global Markets React to Devaluation
As major markets close for the weekend the dollar posts its first sizable post devaluation gains. In Tokyo trading Saturday moderate activity totals about 16 million dollars with no sign of state bank intervention. Across Europe the dollar strengthens in several capitals while remaining steady in Brussels and Paris. In London official gold trading mood calms after a spike to 73.75 dollars an ounce, later retreating to 73.25. Spain keeps the peseta’s gold value, while the United States backs measures to curb speculative currency flows and Japan weighs tariff moves to ease imports especially on electric goods and cars to reduce its trade surplus with the United States.
