Men Charged With Battery as Result
of Recent Trouble May File
Complaint

S. w. Slinkard, j. Fl. Snowden and
w. n. Snowden, proprietors of the
Snowden & Sllnkard stables on Also
street, appeared in Justice Austins
court yesterday afternoon to answer
charge of battery preferred against
them by Officer thinner of the S. P. C.
A., as a result of a general fight in the
yard of the stables several days ago.
The trials of the men will be held in
a few days, and a second warrant has
been issued against w. N. Snowden,
charging him with disturbing the
peace. 1t is alleged by thinner that
Snowden followed him and threatened
his life.
AS a counter fight against the legal
proceedings. the Snowden brothers are
preparing to swear out a warrant
for the arrest of officer Zimmer The
stable proprietors have not as yet de-
cided upon the charge against the Off
Ger, but it will probably be that of
disturbing the peace.

The health department is especially
anxious that action be taken along this
line, so that the smoke. which it is
claimed has become a nuisance in the
downtown streets. may be regulated,
The ordinance provides that furnaces,
etc. shall be of such construction and
such fuel shall be burned that no dense
smoke shall emit from the stack.
1t is claimed that in many instances
large volumes of dense black smoke are
allowed to escape from stacks in Vari-
Gus parts of town. Varying currents
of air carry this smoke down to the
ground and blow it up and down the
streets. At the present time there is
no smoke ordinance in effect in Los
Angeles.

BOARD TIRES OF
SMOKE NUISANCE
HEALTH OFFICIALS ASK FOR
OLD ORDINANCE
DR., Powers and Others Seek to Find
Document Which Was "ShelVed"
by Council Early In the
Year

What has become of the smoke nui-
sance ordinance which was presented
to the council the first of the year?
This is a question which DIR. Powers
of the health department and many
citizens are asking. The old ordinance,
which was calculated to abate the
smoke nuisance in Los Angeles, was
found to be imperfect. 1t was subse-
ouently carried to the courts and
knocked out.
At the instigation of DR.. Powers the
city attorney was instructed to draw
up a new ordinance which, It is said,
should control the situation as far as
possible. The ordinance was turned
over to the council several months ago,

Thus spoke Justice Austin to Ninon

An attorney from Kansas City ar

The action of the mayor in withhold
ing his signature from the gas or
dinance and blocking action on the
question for so long a time is meeting
with some criticism from councilmen
and citizens who declare the ordinance
as passed to be victory for the people
The law gives the mayor ten days in
which to consider an ordinance before
deciding whether he will sign it. The
council passed the ordinance regulating
the monopolies which seek to control
the public utilities in Los Angeles
twelve days ago and the mayor has not
made public his decision on the question
yet. He did not receive the ordinance
as soon as it was passed, however, as
1t was intercepted somewhere and did
not officially reach the mayor until
Saturday. The fact that it was thus
held up has caused considerable dis
cussion as to how long the ordinance
might be kept, or rather held before
being officially handed to the mayor.
A short time ago the Good Govern
the mayor asking him to veto the gas
ordinance, stating that it was not
stringent enough and pledgng them
selves to pass another ordinance which
should be drawn by first-class legal
talent, by means of the initiative and
referendum. What right they had to
pledge themselves to pass an ordinance
is questioned by the councilmen, for no
man, they claim, can presume to pledge
the votes of all the voters in Los An
geles. Again it is asserted that such an
ordinance could be and probably would
be carried Immediately to the courts
and tied up for some time as the legal
ity of the initiative and referendum is
questioned and the fact that the recall
is still in the courts is cited as proof.
1t is believed by some of the council
men that an ordinance passed by the
initiative and referendum would be at
tackled at once on these grounds and
probably tied up indefinitely.

torney Valentine agreed to dismiss the
eleven indictments against the young
clerk
1t was shown by the defendants at
torneys that Huber labored under the
delusion that he was controlled by spir-
it's. who advised him to embezzle the
letters entrusted to his care.
He imagined that such spirits ex-
listed as "War Eagle" white Chief
and "Bertsy," and in the discharge of
his duties at the postoffice he followed
the imaginary dictates of the spirits.
Huber told the court yesterday that
he first became interested in the So
called spirits while connected with the
navy department at Rangoon and CAL
cutta, India.
"Crime proceeds from physical origin,
over which the mind has no control, "
declared the young clerk. and his tes-
timony was otherwise irrational
He also told the court that his spirit
visited Australia, while his body re-
mained in this country.
Huber is veteran OF the Spanish
American war and served with distinc-
tion on several of the big lighting ma
chimes of the navy.
Huber accounted for his present con-
dition by saying that he was forced to
diet on embalmed beef While a gunner
on the Oregon He asserted that he
was i'll when the battleship went into
the sea fight off Santiago.
Judge Wilbur committed him to the
asylum at Patton.

WOMEN AT THE CITY JAIL DECLARE
CARR0LL'S GHOST is TO BE SEEN NIGHTLY

The ghost of William J. Carroll, who
cut his throat in the police court some
time ago, appears nightly to the in
mates of the city jail. Arabella Brown
and Laura Williams, two women con-
fined therein, say they have seen it
repeatedly and almost every night. He
wears a SLOUGH hat pulled down over
his eyes, and peers in at the grating,
eying the persons within and tanning
them with his present freedom. For
the first few nights of the appearance
OF the spook his identity was not rec
ognized. Mrs. Martha Pratt said that
she thought il was the spirit of her
dead father. who had departed this
life years ago. and who was now
doomed 10 return TO earth and try to
save his daughter. but this idea was
laughed down by the others. who soon
came to the conclusion that it was
