PARK COMMISSIONERS
Session in Which Talk and Not Action
Was the Feature

There is no branch of the city government
that talks SO much in its sessions as does
the board Of park commissioners. For fully
ing they discussed and argued over the best
method to be pursued in trimming the Mon
terey pine trees in Elysian park, and after
finally deciding that 1t would not be bad
idea to go to the park and see them. some
one discovered that they had already been
trimmed in accordance with the ideas Of
Superintendent Of Parks Carey.
The discussion was precipitated by = COM
munication from r. w. Polndexter, who
stated that the trees were not being trimmed
as those he had seen In Golden Gate park.
San Francisco, and other places, and, In his
opinion. were being ruined Superintendent
Carey stated that different methods were
required in different places, and as these
trees are on a high knoll 1t is necessary
that they be trimmed up from the bottom
to permit OF liberal cultivation. Mr.. Crit
18th did not agree with him, but was Of the
opinion that they should be permitted to
take their natural growth, with the ex-
ception Of removing the dead limbs. A long
argument ensued. in which Superintendent
Carey got some what warm, but the whole
matter was dropped when It was found that
the trimming was all done.
Another warm discussion took place be-
tween Superintendent Carey and Water
oyerseer Casey. the latter claiming that
the parks are getting more than their share
Of The water under the present SHORTAGE.

Psovisions Of the Act

Judge Allen yesterday granted the writ

and to draw his warrant for the same. By
this decision the supervisors are empow-
cred to employ such additional help as may

register At the time which the statute di-
rocts. Otherwise It would have been an
1nposstbility to get the copy ready for the
printer and many voters would have been
d1sfranchised for the next two years.
In deciding the case Judge Allen said
that Judge Clark and he had come to the
conclusion that fair construction Of the
county government act indicated that the
whole OF the work preliminary to the cleo
tlon consisted of duties wholly devolving
upon the board Of supervisors. and that the
county clerk does this work merely In his
capacity as an agent to the board. As the
laW determines and names his clerks and
their work he has but just the number
needed to do the regular business OF his
ONCE. The board of supervisors is the
general legislative power of the county.
and the code gives it enough power to carry
on properly the government Of the county.
It alone can cause the supplemental reg
lister to be prepared and printed They may
do It with the aid of the clerk. but then
they must give him relief.
The alternative writ Of mandate should
b granted.

No Trace Of E. n. o'Melveny Of This
City


There is no trace Of the whereabouts Of
Ed H. OMelveny. the president Of the Cal

from this city on July 9Th. Every effort has
been made to locate him. but thus far the
efforts of the authorities, as well as pri-
vate parties, have been Of no avail. 1t Is
feared by some of his relatives that he has
made away with himself, as he had been
more or less Ill for some time.
Previous to his disappearance OMelveny
wrote several letters to his eldest son.

and jumping into the sea. On the day that
he disappeared he was traced until 5o'clock
in this city, and later he was found to have
dineu at Eckert & Hopf's place at Santa
Monica in company with Walter s. Moore
and others. He drew several small checks
while at Santa Monica. Since then nobody
has been able to tell much concerning the
man. It was limited that OMelveny might
have been in debt to the truck company,
but his brother denied this, and stated that
in his opinion he had gone away for the
purpose of securing relief from the sickness
and worries he had been experiencing for
some time past and would eventually re-
turn.
Joseph Taggart stated yesterday that In
the morning he thought he had seen the
missing man in front of the Hollenbeck
hotel, but H. w. O'Melveny said he be-
lieved this a mistake, as he was positive
his brother was not in the city and nobody
knew where he was.

William q. Husy Before Justice Owens
Yesterday

william g. Huey was before Justice
Owens yesterday for examination on the
charge Of perjury. The prosecution was
given two chances at the defendant and a
motion for dismissal is now pending. The
defendant was represented by Frank F.
Davis and ]. L. Murphy, while Deputy Dis
tr.ct Attorney W. p. James and r. A. Ling
are conducting the prosecution.
On May 10th last Huey Is alleged to have
perjured himself in his testimony In the
case OF Nelson B. Church ct al. against the
Los Angeles Railway company, on trial In
Department six Of the superior court. Mrs.
Church was injured by fall from a Pico
Heights car last August, and the suit was
for damages. At the trial Huey, in rebuttal.
testified that the accident had occurred at
the corner of Pico and F streets, and that
he had stood opposite to where the acci-
dent took place. but had seen none Of It.
He claimed that L. G. Zeller and L. o. Du-
quette. couple of young men who had tes-
titled to having witnessed the accident, had
in reality been In an inside room in the
peanut stand Of ]. Phillippi. and he had
seen them there. 1t would have been i'm
possible for either to have witnessed the
accident. as they claimed. Subsequently
it was proved that the stand was not on
the corner at the time the accident took
place, and had been moved . block away,
so it would have been impossible for Huey
to have seen the other witnesses inside.
Deputy County Clerk George Monroe of
Department six testified to having admin
istered the oath to Huey previous to his tes-
tifying in the damage suit. Leo Longley,
the official stenographer Of that depart
ment next took the stand and was asked
about the testimony given on that occasion
by the defendant. The complaint was read
to him by Mr.. Ling The document did not
set forth the alleged perjured testimony,
but stated in substance what was charged.
Mr.. Longley testified that he recalled such
testimony. but Frank Davis entered an OBJ
lection to his answer, and moved for dis
missal Of the complaint on the ground that
1t did not give verbatim the testimony OF
the defendant, as was required by law.
Justice Owens thought this point we'll
taken, so this complaint was dismissed and
a fresh one embodying the necessary points
drawn. Zeller and Duquette testified on the
second examination the same as they had
at the time Of the trial. Mr.. Davis made
motion that the case be dismissed on the
ground that the evidence given by Huey
had not influenced the case nor was It of
any importance. This was argued and the
matter taken under Amusement

FIRST MEETING OF THE CHAR
TER TRAINERS
A PLAN OF PROCEDURE

Judge Groff Temporary Chair
man-The Committees

The recently elected board Of freeholders
held an informal meeting yesterday after
noon in the city council chamber, with all
but three members present. Judge Groff
was chosen as temporary chairman and J.
B. Willard acted as temporary secretary
Judge Stephens brought up the question
of how the board should proceed; whether
certain departments of work would be as
signed to committees, or whether every
matter would be passed on in detail by the
entire board. 1t seemed to be the sense of
the members that the new charter should
be framed in sections by subcommittee
assignments being made to the committees
according to their respective capabilities
for handling them. These committees will
report to the general organization. and the
results Of their labors will be discussed and
altered or approved according to the pre-
vailing ideas of the entire board.
1t was thought best, however, to hasten
the preliminary work, and, on motion by DR..
DAVIDSON. 1t was decided that the regular
time for meeting should be o'clock in tho
evening. and, If possible. the meetings will
be held in the city council chamber.
A committee, composed of Messrs. O'Mel-
veny, Crutcher and variel, was next APP

tee of the city council. with view to
learning whether council will provide for

much. The same committee was instructed
to request the council to require from the
city engineer minute description Of the
city and Its boundaries, together with
map showing the boundary lines Of the
various wards and precinct divisions. etc.
The expenses, which the council will be ex-
pected to provide for, are the secretary's
and stenographer's salaries and the print
ing Of copies of all suggestions Of articles
or sections to be embodied in the new char
ter, the same to have a marginal and num-
bered line index. to promote convenience in
handling 1t.
On motion Of Mr.. O'Melveny, Messrs, Va
lei, Newmark and Stephens were appointed
a committee on permanent organization,
rules and order Of business, to report at
next meeting.
Mr.. Hazards motion. that the next meet
ing be held on Monday evening next. was
carried.
The secretary was instructed to send to
various cities Of the country for copies Of
their charters, and the meeting adjourned.
The Monday evening session will be the
first regular meeting and permanent organ

about the water rents that are now being
paid to the company for periods In advance

Councilman Nickel quietly and quickly
made himself scarce Wednesday night on
a late train, vouchsafing no further In
formation than that he was bound for a
short trip I'd Fresno and other points In the
northern part of the state. Those "other
points" are supposed by many to be San
Francisco and Sacramento, and his trip ia
intimated as having some bearing on the
