New Scheme Proposed for Dealing
With the santo Domingo Affair
(Ry g-ASsociated prcSs.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10
Senator Morgan occupied PRACTICALLY,
me entire time in the discussion of the
Santo Domingo treaty in executive
session OF the Senate today. He madt
a sensational speech in which h
charged that VIM. Nelson Cromwell
OF New York. who was prominently
connected with the sale OF the Pann-
ma canal property to the United
states, was the prime mover in a
scheme to influence the United States.
IN the financial affairs OF the Dominy
lean government
He asserted that Mir. Cromwell was
actuated by 4 desire to Illustrate :
plan CT a Mr.. and Mrs. Reeder. natives
CT Alabama, who are operating under
the name OF the Reeier syndicate. to
get certain concessions from the Do
m1Efcan government and to promote
the interests OF q syndicate he repre-
sentea, which, it is alleged, holds a
mass OF claims against Latin-Am err
can republics, including a large part
OF the debts against the Dominican
government.
The Senate Divided.

MAY REPAIR 0ILEp STREETS
Superintendent HanIey Asserts Imme-
diate Action Is Necessary to
Protect Thoroughfares

Unless more stringent measures are
adopted, says Superintendent of Streets
Hanley, the oiled streets that have
been prepared during the last two
years will soon become in worse con-
dition than they were before the work
was done and the great amount of
money expended will be wasted.
Il find at the present time that peo-
pie drive on the oiled streets with
light vehicles, as well as with lumber
wagons, while the streets are in course
of construction" said Superintendent
Hanley yesterday. Under these cir
cumstances oiled streets will certainly
be a failure. Some provisions should
be made for repairing oiled stree,s with
oil material, either natural oil or
gravel, and this provision should he
made at once or the work of the last
two years in this direction will be
lost"
Acting on Hanley's suggestion the
city council turned the proposition
over to the city attorney to prepare an
ordinance.

FACTIONS ON STREET CLASH

SnarI Regarding improvements.
Legal Proceedings Started

The board of public works will have
TO wrestle with the contending factions
of street divided against itself This
responsibility was put upon it yester-
day by the city council after a lengthy
war of words between w. M. Bowen.
former president of the council, and At
torney Sherer. who represented the op-
posing factions.
Legal proceedings are now under way
to Improve Thirty-seventh street. be-
tween Raymond and Western avenues
by grading, sidewalking and curbing
Bowen, representing a number of the
property owners along the frontage who
objected to the proposed Improvement
stated that the north half of this street
had been improved by private contract,
but had never been accepted although
the contractor had been paid for the
work.
The entire trouble lay in the failure
of those who had the work done to go
through the necessary preliminaries
and pay the small fees of the city engi-
neer's office. The objectors to the i'm
provement asked that the work be de-
layed for five weeks in order to allow
them to unwind the necessary amount
of red tape and clean up the record.
Attorney Sherer pleaded that the pro-
posed improvement be allowed to pro-
ceed as efforts had been made for two
years to get the work done and the
same ob1ectors had inVariabl baIked
the proposition.

COUN I'll DIVIDED ON
QUESTION OF HALL SITE
VOTE is A TIE ON PROJECT FOR
NEW CITY BUILDING
Acceptance of Lot offered on North
Spring Street Is Laid over-Ham-
mon, Who Is Absent, Is Said to
Favor the New Location

The proposition to accept a free site
for a new municipal building that the
city council has been struggling with
for the last week, is still in the hands
of the committee of the whole for re-
port at some indefinite fine, in spite
of a strong effort made at yesterdays
session to have the question submitted
to a referendum vote of the people.
The vote on this question, which
ended in tie, is taken as evidence that
when it is brought up for final settle
ment it will be lost. To accept the site
on condition that a new city hall be
built will require an expenditure of
money and six affirmative votes will be
necessary, whereas it appears that
there are but five who favor accepting
the site.
Immediately on the opening of the
session the councilman from the Sixth
ward moved that all questions refer
ring to city hall sites be referred to
referendum vote of the people at the
next general election.
On roll call Smith, Hitler, Summer
land and the councilman from the sixth
ward voted AYE" and Blanchard, Kern.
Healy and Ford voted mo" Council
man Harmon was absent on thirty
days leave of absence, but he is known
to warmly favor the proposit on of the
council accepting the proffered site. AS
1t was a tie vote the president declared
it lost.
This roll call puts four members of
the council on record as believing that
the acceptance of the site is question
which the people should decide, and
four In favor of the council accepting
the offer as the committee of the whole.

TO UTILIZE REFUSE WATER
City Council Delays Consideration Of
Rancher's Plan to Use Overflow
for Irrigating Purpose

L. c. Crandall, who conducts a ranch
south of the city limits. has a
plan for irrigating ranches in MS
neighborhood with the refuse wat=r
from the streets of Los Angeles.
At the meeting of the council a week
ago he asked for a franchise to run
pipe line down Alameda street from
Sixth street to Slauson avenue. This
was referred to the proper commit sn.
The question came up at yesterday S
session and Mr.. Crandalrs attorney
explained that the plan was to take
the water from the rear of the vari-
GUS electric railway plants, after it had
been used for power, and carry it
through pipes to the south city limits.
The city engineers department has
refused to allow this water to be run
into the sewer and since the zanJas on
Alameda street have been abandoned
the water stands in unsightly pools on
the streets and becomes stagnant
By conveying this water to the ranch
lands south of the city the double
purpose of irrigating the soil and get
ting the water off the streets would be
served The question was laid over for
one week.

COUNCIL SILENT AS TO
SCHOOL BOARDS ACTION
SUBJECT NOT DISCUSSED AT
SESSION
Apparent That Members viii Not
Name Directors, Although They
Are Confident They Are Given the
Right to Do So by the Charter

1t is proba BILE that the city council
will take no action regarding the ap-
pointment of members of the board Of
education to fill the vacancies made
by the designations of Judge ]. D.
Bicknell and ]. S. Slauson. The ques-
ton was not brought up at yester-
days session of the council and no
reference whatever was made to it in
education has acted upon its presumed
perogatve and named two members to
fill vacancies.
Each member of the council is indi-
vidually sure that body is granted tho
right to fill vacancies in elective bodies
by the amendment adopted at the last
general election, but no member seems
so certain of this power as to bring
the question before the council. Tue
members of the council are almost
unanimous in the opinion that the two
men who have been voted into men,
bership by the board of education are
valuable additions to that body and if
any action is taken by the council and
some of the members insist that such
action will be taken soon IL will prcb-
ably be to confirm the choice of the
board.
This has been done in other cases
where clauses in the charter conficted.
Until a recent amendment was pass ed
both the mayor and the city council
had the privilege of filling vacancies
in the board of health and the method
Of procedure in such a case was for
the mayor to nominate and the coun-
Gil confirm his choice.

ARREST ROBBERY SUSPECTS
John McGraw and F. L. Morgan Taken
Into Custody on Petit
Larceny Charge

The police are keeping a sharp look
out for ''yeggmen" or signs of their
operations 1t is known that there has
been a considerable influx of these
criminals into Los Angeles during the
last week and they have been under
constant surveillance since.
Special officer c. A. Kettler yester-
day afternoon captured John McGraw
and F. L. Morgan in the act of steal
ing a twenty-five gallon keg of white
lead.
AS Kettler was passing through the
freight yards near River station yes
terday afternoon he observed two men
rolling a keg of white lead from tie
yards.
Their actions and manner aroused
Kettler's suspicious and he called up
on them to wait. One of them promptly
told him to go to a hotter place than
Los Angeles and both started to run.
Kettler pursued them and, although
they resisted he arrested both and
took them to the police station. They
were booked on charge of petit lar
ceny.
