COUNCIL AND MAYOR WARNED
TO FORGET PERSONAL ENMITY
Deadlock Over South Park Avenue Franchise
Leads Attorney to Fear Settlement of
Great Questions May Be Blocked

very probably repeat the action that
started the trouble.
In this attitude of the mayor towards
the wishes of the council and of the
council towards the wishes of the
mayor Attorney Harris sees a condition
that will bring Los Angeles to a stand
still and he sounded a clarion call OF
warning to the council yesterday after
noon.
"There is a bitter personal contro-
Versy growing up between the officials
of the various departments of this city
government and every day sees the
breach between them grow wider. This
condition threatens some of our great
est enterprises. Even the Owens river,
proposition will suffer If this is al
lowed to continue longer. AS a private
citizen I demand that you do not al
low these personal grievances to in
terfere with our prosperity. We have
reached the pivotal point in the history
of Los Angeles and we cannot afford
to allow you gentlemen and the execu-
tive head of our city to jeopardize our
rights as citizens" said Attorney Har-
ris.
To Secure Order of Court
An effort was made to instruct the
city attorney to take the necessary
legal steps to procure a judgment of
court, declaring a forfeiture of the en-
tire franchise, but some of the council
men declared they wanted more time
to consider the proposition before vot-
ing on it.
This case will probably come up be-
fore the council at the regular meeting
Monday and in the meantime the COM
mittee of the council appointed at Tues
day afternoons sitting will hold an
other conference with the attorneys Of

Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-21

For nearly two hours yesterday aft
ernoon, and until the hands of the Of
fetal clock warned them of the ap
preaching dinner hour, the members
Of the city council wrestled with the
South Park avenue street railway prop
osition, but at the expiration Of that
time they were as powerless to sug-
gest a solution as they were at first
and the meeting adjourned with the
deadlock unbroken. Assistant City
Attorney Goudge was still master of
the situation and although members
of the council pleaded with him, al
most with tears in their eyes, to put
some other construction on the law than
he has already announced several
times, he remained firm.
Attorney Will A. Harris believes he
has found a key to the deadlock and
it Is possible that his suggestion may
be eventually followed out This is
for both sides to submit the case to
Judge York and have him give his
opinion whether or not concession on
the part of the city would be detrimen-
tai to the city's interests in the suit
now pending. If Judge York is not
agreeable he suggests a committee of
three disinterested attorneys, to be
chosen by both sides. Attorney Goudge
stated that he would not agree to such
a proposition if the council sees fit to
order it, but the council did not see
fit yesterday.
Not Binding on Mayor
But no concession the council could
make, if it can see it's way clear to
make any, will be binding on the
mayor or prevent him from again tear
ing up the tracks and the mayor would

MAYORS APPROVAL ASKED
Committee Calls on MIR. McAleer and
Requests Him to Favor New
Clty Hall Location

The possibilities of Mayor McAleer
vetoing the ordinance accepting the new
city hall site on North Main street ap-
peared greatly lessened yesterday when
a committee which has taken the
proposition in hand called on the mayor
and showed him the advantages which
the city would gain by the proposed
removal.
The mayor gave the committee no
positive assurance that he will sign the
measure, as he has an appointment with
another committee from the south end
of the city, which is anxious to have
the new city hall in that direction, and
as a compromise advocates that it re-
main where it is. The mayor Is con-
WINGED that more room Is a positive
necessity, but before taking definite
action is anxious to allow both sides to
be heard.
The committee which yesterday called
on the mayor was composed of Joseph
Mesmer, F. w. Braun, Kaspare Cohn,
H. Newmark, w. D. Woolwine Ran
dolph Miner A. c. Harper, Mark Jones,
Lawrence Holmes and o. M. Souden.

PLAN TO STOP PRICE CUTTING
Retail Grocers and Jobbers Discuss
Arrangement by Which Rates
May Be Regulated

If the Retail Grocers' association of
Los Angeles has it's way, the grocer
who cuts prices will not be able to
buy goods from any jobber in Los
Angeles. At recent meeting a move
ment was started to effect combina-
ton of retailers and jobbers to divide
the profits from the sale of groceries
on a more just method than now pre-
walls.
The plan as outlined is this: The
jobbers are to sell groceries to the re-
tailers at cost. Then the retailers are
to sell the goods. After which the
1obbers are to receive SO per cent Of
the gross profit.
1t was also recommended that reso-
lutions be drawn asking the jobbers
to desist from selling any groceries
to firms that cut prices.
Prominent retail firms of this city
are backing the movement, but many
of the retailers are dubious as to the
success of the scheme

The Parents, Duty.

''Next Monday the public schools will
open. How many young people are 60
ing to neglect attendance at school?
How many parents are going to neglect
their duty by allowing their children to
stay away from school? This IS mat
ter for serious and careful consideration
for parents and scholars alike. The
schools are rnaintainedat an expense of
several Thousand dollars each year for
the sole benefit Of your girl and your
boy. It is privilege that millions of
people, even N this enlightened coun-
Try Of ours, dc rot enjoy and we should
appreciate it.
"'What has the future in store for your
boy or your girl? You, parents, must
answer Look about you. See the
number Of failures of those who have
neglected educational advantages of
their early life. Then look at the grad
yates Of high schools and almost with
out exception, they are are successful
men of today. Of course, there are ex-
ceptions, but where there is one failure
of the educated boy there ave ten fail
ures among those where education has
been neglected. Are yoHgoing to give
your child the most chances or the few
est chances to succeed? That's the
question.
Its so easy to stay away from
school under the delusion that you can
make some money or have an easy
time. Don't do It, In after life you
viii surely regret that you did not i'm
prove your opportunities opportunities
that will be lost forever unless you
grasp them now. T
parents, consider your duty See
that your children are compelled, if
necessary, to enter school next Mon
day, and that they remains through the
entire year. Remember that an edu-
cation is a mine Of wealth that is closed
to all save its possessor. :"
The above from the Barron Shield,
contains suggestions thatashould be act
ed upon next Monday. There is no
question about it. AS the article well
says, YOUR child should have the most
chances to succeed. But don't lead
the child to believe that the high school
is the end of study or that graduation
is the end of student life That
thought would go far to destroy all the
benefits of the whole school course.
Teach him rather that the grades and
the high school, college, university, no
matter what school is but the equipping
agency for long student life, The
boy who goes to school has a better
chance to succeed because he is in bet
ter position to study and solve problems
in life But if he goes through school
with the idea that he has finished his
studieus life, he will soon awaken to
the fact that the schoolless but studious
boy has surpassed him.

TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD.

TO be caught in lie is to be men
tally black-balled by the catchers.
To tell lies about oneself is bad, but
to falsify regarding another is an un-
pardonable act.
The person who is popular is the
dependable person. The end of the
habitual liar is ostracism.
Men and boys may lie fuently, but
they are practically shy of a girl
whose word cannot be depended upon.
Also, is it so easy to be detected.
Nemesis is forever lodging the steps
of the liar, and there is no sin more
certain to be quickly found out.
Tt is economy to be truthful It
pays. 1t is digni6ed. 1t may offend
few to refuse information desired,
but it will offend more to pervert
verify.
There are no white lies. Petty lying
is contemplate. IL is so easy to

1t hardly hit the water before a shark
fight lasted more than an hour before
the great fish gave up the struggle
Several men volunteered to haul in the
catch but it was found to be too heavy
and was towed along the edge of the
wharf to shallow water before being
dragged on the beach. The hook had
been swallowed and it was necessary
to rip the shark open before it could be
taken out.
The second shark was about the same
size and put up a similar fight, finally
being hauled in amid the cheers of sew
eral hundred people who had assem-
bled to watch the sport.
