UNDERGROUND WATER
Merrill's Petition to Raise a Subter-
raueau River Flow

The petition of J. c. Merrill and a large
number of ranchers residing below the city
was referred to the committee on water
supply. 1t relates that the water flowing
under the surface in the river bed from
Alhambra street to the city limits south
never comes to the surface, and finds its
way underground to the ocean. By an
intelligent effort, petitioners believe. this
water could be turned into the Sixth street
sewer where 1t crosses the river, below
Alhambra street and the main outfall sew
er to the sea, whereby the latter would be
protected from the deterioration conse-
ouent to the gases therein generated. The
petitioners point out that they are the
owners of an area of land beyond the south
city boundary, Immediately contiguous
thereto, upon which the surplus water thus
raised could be used and make the barren
land productive.
]. c. Merrill offers, If permission is grant
ed him, to raise this underground water TO
the surface by means of excavations and
conduct 1t from the point selected into the
Sixth street sewer for one hour in every
twenty-four, on condition that the balance
may be used by him on his own land and
that of others lying below such sewer until
such time as the city should desire to make
similar development The privilege, #
granted, says Merrill, will not be allowed
to conflict with the rights of riparian own
ers or purchasers from the city, nor will
it diminish the flow of water now being
taken out of the river by them.

PRACTICAL SYMPATHY
CITY COUNCIL SUBSTANTIALLY
HELPS THE WAR BOARD
MAIN STREET PAVING AGAIN
A Request That the City Accept the
Work-Hand Street Sweeping.
Committee Reports

The city fathers were all on hand yester-
day, except Mr.. Mathus, who did not show
up at all, at the usual hour for the weekly
meeting. The council showed its appre-
citation of the value of the services here
tofore rendered by the local war board
in providing troops in transit with some
thing to eat and to drink upon their arrival
at Los Angeles, by subscribing at once and
without dissenting vote $3.50 for the pur-
pose of aiding the board in continuing It's
good work, at the request of j. S. Slauson
and ]. R. Newberry of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association.
Two petitions from Main-street property
owners asking the acceptance of the work
of repaving and prohibiting any tearing up
of the street for ore year were referred to
the board of public works. A committee
was appointed to confer with the Merchants
and Manufacturers association with refer
ence to project favored by the latter to
have the street sweeping done by hand as
soon as the present contract expires.
An ordinance was adopted which provides
for the appointment of an inspector of
steam boilers and elevators and a board
of engineers who will issue licenses to OPP
eratives.
The council adjourned early to meet
again this morning, when 1t will meet the
representatives Of the Los Angeles Water
company to discuss the water question, and
its transfer to the city on an amicable basis.

HoAG IS TRUSTEE
What Voter Must Do With a Spoiled
Ballot

Judge Shaw yesterday handed down de-
cision in the Pasadena election contest in
which I. 8. Greene sought to prove that
he had been rightfully elected to the trus-
teeship instead of T. c. Hoag, who was de-
clared elected by one vote. The vote was
given as ISL for Hoag and $50 for Greene.
but Greene's contest was based on the pos
sibility of counting certain rejected ballots.
The court found, however, that all had
been properly rejected and that the de-
PENDANT was regularly elected. but in rem
dering the decision Judge Shaw very care
fully reviews the reasons for which the va
rious rejected ballots were made illegal,
and closes by saying:
1.-THE effect of the Australian ballot law
with respect to a spoiled ballot is that If
in preparing his ballot the voter makes any
mark on It other than the proper cross
stamped to the right of the name of the
person for whom he intends to vote, he musa
avail himself of the privilege given by the
law of returning the ballot thus spoiled and
obtaining another for his use in voting, or
he will lose his vote"

FIVE DOLLARS MISSING

Finding a Pursep

A complaint was issued yesterday by the

STEELE DID NOT STEAL
POSSESSION Is NOT NECESSARILY
PROOF OF OWNERSHIP
AN OPINION BY JUDGE SMITH
The Steeles Are Discharged and the
Matter Will Be Settled bya
Civil Suit

The Steele grand larceny case was
brought to an abrupt end yesterday in
Judge Smiths court by the discharge of the
defendants on a writ of habeas corpus. The
case has been one Of considerable interest
in court circles, involving as it did some
nice points of law, and each side was loath
to admit single weakness in its position.
The case grew out Of trade made be-
tween N. ]. Saunders and James Steele, a
furniture dealer at 255 South Main street.
Saunders traded Steele 2S acres of land near
vineland for the latter's furniture store,
and in an agreement drawn on January 81
It was stipulated that the deed to the land
was to be delivered and the deal consum-
mated on February l. On the night Of
January 81, Steele. assisted by his son, Jay
D., removed certain goods from the senior
Steele's store and took them to the sons
store near by. Saunders, claiming that
possession of the store had been given him
the afternoon previous, had the Steele's ar
rested on a warrant charging them with
grand larceny. placing the value Of the
goods taken at $500. The Steele's contended
that possession was not formally given until
the next day. and also that the goods taken
by them were excepted in the trade by an
oral agreement, but Justice Young held
them for trial in the superior court.
In the habeas corpus proceedings yester-
day counsel for the defense argued that
their clients position was made impregna-
BILE by the conditions of the contract itself,
which stated that possession Of the store
was to be given on February l, and thai the
deed to the land was to pass on that day.
They commended further that even were
possession given on the afternoon previous
to the removal Of the goods in question,
such possession could not constitute actual
ownership on account Of the terms of the
contract.
The district attorney made claim that pos
session had been given on the afternoon
of the 31st; that for this reason the con-
tract had no bearing on that point, and
thatin removing the goods, the Steelcs COM
mitted larceny by taking property which
belonged to Saunders.
The court, without hesitation, ruled that
even if possession was given on the 31st.
possession in this instance Is not proof Of
ownership, and as ownership is the gist of
larceny 1t is impossible that the action of
the defendants In the removal Of the goods
should constitute the crime Of larceny. The
court suggested that 1t was possible fraud
had been committed and that there was GER
tainly ground for civil suit to be brought
by the complainant.
A civil suit in which Saunder" seeks to
recover the value Of the goods is already
pending.

Nonsuit Motion Granted

The contention between the Main Street
and Agricultural Park railway and the Los
Angeles Traction company, over the Third
street crossing, was ended yesterday by the
non-suiting of the Main Street company's
case in Judge Van Dykes court.
In this case the Main Street company
sought to have a permanent restraining
order issued against the Traction company
requiring 1t to allow the two companies
cars to alternate in passing the crossing
when cars of both companies arrived at
the crossing at the same time. 1t was
shown, however, by the defense that the
companies were joint tenants of the point
under dispute, and the court decided that
it would not be right to restrain one more
than the other.
