NJ ALEER SIGNS
MANY ORDINANCES
MAYOR RELEASES 124 OF THE
DOCUMENTS
City Attorney Rules That Executive
Violates No Law in Affxinq
Signature-Contracts Await
Claimants

Mayor McAleer released 124 ordi-
nances yesterday morning by the sim
pie act of afiiXing his signature to
them. These ordinances have been
piling up on his desk for several weeks,
but he had delayed signing them in
the hope of a speedy settlement of
the board of works question.
None of the ordinances signed by the
mayor yesterday comes under the jur-
isdiction of the board of works, &C.
cording to ruling of the city attor-
ney, although some of them provide
for work for which the board of works
must let the contracts. The city at
torney has ruled that any ordinance
must have the signature of the mayor
to become effective, or else be passed
over his veto, and has held that the
mayor is violating no law in either
letter or spirit by signing them.
Some of these ordinances had already
become operative, as they had been
kept on the mayors desk longer than
the ten days required by law
A large number of awards for con-
tracts still remain on the mayors desk,
but few contractors caring to take ad-
vantage of the mayors offer to re-
lease them on written guaranty ex-
ecuted before witnesses that the city
shall not be held liable for failure to
collect on the awards.

To ROB COUNCIL
Of ITS POWER
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS IN
ASCENDANcY
Attorney Goudge May Render Decision
Transferring Lighting Contracts
From City Legislators to
Appointve Body

1t is possible that the city attor-
ney will render a decision still further
tying the hands of the council on the
question of public improvements. As
sistant City Attorney Goudge yester-
day took under advisement demands
presented to the finance committee for
the lighting of Broadway after mid
night and the lighting of the Broadway
tunnel. These demands were presented
On requisition and not on contract, as
the rest of the lighting is done.
The city attorney rendered an opin-
ion that the charter gave the board of
public works entire jurisdiction over
the question of street lighting and that
these acquisitions should be acted on
by that body. He added further that
contracts in existence before the first
of the year were still under the au-
thority, and this distinction is what
separates the lighting of the streets
before midnight from those lighted af-
ter that hour in the downtown dis
trict.
If on investigation the city attor-
ney finds that his off-hand opinion is
sustained by the facts and the finance
committee is refused the privilege of
signing these acquisitions, there is a
lighting companies will not discon-
tinue to illuminate the streets in con-
troversy, at least until after the board
of public works has been confirmed,
for there is no assurance that the
board on assuming office will pay these
bills incurred before it was seated.
The finance committee was very care
full in its handling of demands yester-
day. 1t was the first meeting of the
committee for many weeks. Heretofore
the different members of the commit
tee have simply looked over the de-
mands at their leisure and affixed
their signatures without holding a reg
ular meeting.
This was entirely different yester-
day. The three members OF the COM
mittee gathered at the table in the
committee room with Deputy Auditor
Bostwick on one side and Assistant
City Attorney Goudge on the other.
Deputy Bostwick would explain each
demand as IL was presented and the
assistant city attorney would render
judgment on the committees powers
In each case.
Demands on the street department
fund sent Goudge in hurry for the
city charter and scarcely one of these
demands was passed without specific
reference to the charter covering that
case.

Wants Restraining Orders

1t is thought that Oscar Trippett
attorney for the telephone company
will file an application in the superior
court, asking that the city be re-
strained from the further prosecution
of the company's officials. as individ-
uals or as a corporation. This action
will be taken on the grounds that the
company has a franchise that they
claim is so worded that it will exempt
them from obeying the ordinance.
1t is believed that Attorney Trippett
anticipates that the court will find the
company guilty, because he stated that
he was anxious to have the matter
adjudicated as soon as possible in the
superior court. 1t is also stated that
necessary papers are now being filed
There was little excitement in the
police court yesterday Judge Austin
and Marble are said to be most init
mate friends and have been neighbors
for fifteen years. Reference to their
friendship was made in court yester-
day morning in a joking manner, and
all proceedings were carried on in q
friendly manner
Other Arrests to Follow
Five other complaints were issued by
the prosecuting attorney Wednesday
at the time the complaints for Marble
and Torrance were made out. The pres
ident and secretary of the company
were all that were arrested yesterday.
The arrest OF A. b. Cass, vice presl-
dent; III. w. Hellman, treasurer; w.
G. Patterson, w. S. Bartlett and r. w.
Phillips, directors, are expected to fol-
low.
Marble and Torrance were selected
to appear in court by stipulation. The
punishment in case the city ordinance
is found valid is fine of not more
than $500 or an imprisonment of not
to exceed 100 days.
Attorney Fredrickson stated last
evening that he would not wait for
the present case to be tried before pro-
ceeding against the Peoples Gas COM
pany. He did not know when he would
take action on the matter, but stated
that it would probably be within two
or three days.

NEW YORK TAKES
A BACK SEAT
THE WEST MUST FURNISH
NEXT PRESIDENT
Crosby Noyes, Washngton's Editorial
Nestor, Thinks Speaker Cannon
Has a chanee-Joint State
hood Is Probable

Crosby S. Noyes the brilliant editor
c. Star, is one Of the most interesting
guests at the Raymond hotel. Pasade-
ma. Mr.. Noyes is accompanied by Mrs.
Noyes and their niece. with her chill
dren, and occupy FIVE of the handsome
est rooms at the big hotel on the hill.
Just before leaving Washington City
for their winters stay in Pasadena Mr..
and Mrs. Noyes celebrated their gold
en- wedding, the affair taking place in
the palatial ball room of the New Will
lard hotel and being one of the most
elaborate of the many swell society
events for which the nations capital Is
celebrated during a busy winter.
In spite of the years which such an
event of this sort chalk up to ones
credit in the book of life the famous
editor and newspaper man is still Wig
orous and his comments upon men and
affairs, in the making of which his fa-
Gle pen has had so much to do in the
past, are important and helpful.
Editor Noyes does not fear the men
who would interview him, but before
one has talked long with him the ques-
TONER is like to become the questioned.
He is thoroughly alive to the present
trend of affairs in this country and has
characteristic opinions upon them all.
Naturally the conversation at the out
set touched upon the approaching we'd
ding of the presidents daughter. Miss
Alice Roosevelt, and Congressman
Longworth, that being the chief social
topic in the capital city.

Washinqton's Main Attraction

Miss Roosevelt is the main attrac-
ton Just now in Washington" said
the veteran editor Everything is be-
ing done to prepare for her approach
ing wedding: not only are the people
interested in this event because she
is the daughter of President Roosevelt,
but because the young lady is very at
tractive and popular for herself. The
wedding is certain to be one of the
memorable events of the social year
there"
what about the joint statehood
bill?'' was asked.
''Well, it seems probable that we are
to have a single state out of Arizona
and New Mexico. You see. the New
Workers and the inhabitants of other
thickly settled sections of the east do
not like the idea of a state coming
into the Union with only about one
voter to their fifty, and yet having as
much weight and as large vote in
the senate as they"
Referring to the struggle now going
on in congress over the matter of rail-
road rate legislation Mr.. Noyes re-
marked that he could not predict just
what congress will do. but that lit looks
as though something would be done to
control rates"
AS to his own individual opinion upon
the question the speaker did not COM
nit himself
who do you think will be the next
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency?" was asked.

Too Early to Guess

''It is vet far too early to say just
what will be done in this line. The
people in the east are beginning to feel
that by the time President Roosevelt's
present term is over the important
matters of state are going to be in
good shape. If they are there is not
going to be any great demand for his
denomination.
There are several candidates in that
part of the country who stand more or
less show of being chosen for his sue
cessor when that time comes.
Secretary Root is a man with a
good record and his claims will have
very serious considera ton. However,
there is but little chance of New York
man getting the nomination. New York
is likely to be obliged to take a back
seat for the present, at least.
Il am inclined to think that the next
Republican candidate or nominee for
president will come from the west and
Vice President Fairbanks stands a
considerable chance. Uncle Joe Cam
non must be considered, as he has
many friends both in Washington and
at his home. Secretary Taft is talked
of, but he has great many enemies
in his own state and appears to be gain
ing more"

Wonderful California


Yes. the growth of the country has
been wonderful" continued he LOS
Angeles is already become the great
business center of the southwest and
/ notice its growth at each succeed
ing annual visit.
Pasadena is not being left behind in
the race by any means. This city has
more beautiful homes i'm comparison
TO its size than any place that l have
any knowledge OF. One thing about
Pasadena that makes it so attractive
10 tourists and Los Angeles has 1t, too.
of course, though 1t is further away,
is it's location near the mountains.
Then Pasadena is free from saloons
and the saloon element and also has
none of the smoke and CRIME which is
even now becoming a great problem in
the cities of the east.
Southern California has a great
future. The pre-eminence of Los An
geles as a business center is rapidly
becoming recognized throughout the
east and many people who are look
ing for profitable fields for investment
are certainly and inevitably turning
this way"

Insurance Regulation

Disrpisslng this question Editor
Noyes turned to the late disclosures in
the field of insurance and suggested
that "a bill may get through congress
regulating the work of the national in.
suranc@ companies. Just what sort of
a bill however, could be devised for
this purpose which could be legal he
confessed he does not know.
But quietly the interviewed became
the interviewer and began to speak of
the wonders of this Southern Califor-
MIA country and to ask of its wonder
full progress and prosperity. 1t seems
that he was one of the early visitors to
California, coming when the only real
business of the country was mining
and cattle raising. When he came
again a little later the business was
the raising of wheat; a little later fruit
growing and now, with a merry twin
kle, he hazarded the remark that 1t
seems to be mostly tourists and real
estate"

Fight StrenuouSIy Against
Endorsement Unless Com
mitteeman Is Turned Down,

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 20.-Whether it
pleases him or not, william ]. Bryan
will be endorsed as the next presiden-
tial candidate of the democratic party
by the state convention of the Illinois
democracy, which will be called TO
order tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Bryan has stated that under
certain conditions he does not care for
the endorsement of the Illinois dela-
ocracy, but this will have little bear-
ing on the convention, and Mr. Bryan
will be endorsed Irrespective of the
fact that he has announced that he
does not care for the approval of the
democrats Of the state, officially ex-
pressed, if Roger c. sullivan, of Chi
cago. Is allowed by the convention 20
retain the position Of National COM
mtteeman, to which he was selected
in 1904.
1t is expected there will be stormy
times in the convention but all de-
bates will lead to the same ending,
which will be the endorsement of Mr.
Bryan as presidential candidate. If
attempt to gain control of the con
ventlon, he will be approved as a MAJ
ter of course. If the men to whom
Mr.. Bryan has said that he is opposed
are successful in retaining control ~
the party organization, they will ca
dorse him no matter what he says.
The friends Of Mr.. Bryan have been
positive in their statements that Il
the convention does not call for the
resignation of Roger c. Sullivan rs
national committeeman from Illinois
they will fight with all their strength
against the passage OF any resolution
endorsing Mr. Bryan. II they are noe
able to control the convention, and in
dications tonight seem to be against
them, they will be unable to prevent
the endorsement from going through.
SO confident in fact are the Sullivan
forces that they are to dominate the
convention that the endorsement CT
Mr. Bryan Is already drawn up,
1t contains a little stinger to tho
effect that while Illinois democrats IRE
strongly in favor Of Bryan they dre
also emphatically in favor Of homo
rule in politics, without interference
