pared Dutch dinner of several courses

tion of the evening with well-chosen
piano number, Joe Dupuy rendered u
lively French song and Gabrilowitsch

NICHOLS AND DUFFY
MUST STAND TRIAL
JUDGE ovERRULES OBJECTIONS
TO INDICTMENT
Attorneys viii Today Interpose Gem
eraI Demurrer-Case Of Adler, a
Restaurateur, Will Come UP Mons
day-Grand Jury Called Again

| BY Associated Press.
/ SAN F'fkANoISCO, Dec. 14.-Judg,
William p Lawlor today overruled the
| technical objection imposed by Super
visor Fred p. Nicholas and Peter M
Duffy to the indictment found against
them by the grand jury.
1t was pronounced by the judge that
the alleged incompetency of Juror Wal
lace c. Wise does not violate any fun
damental right of the defendants The
objection was made that Wise had
served on trial jury within year and
was therefore barred from serving as
a grand juror.
Immediately after the judge an
nounced his decision, which was given
orally, Attorney Murphy rose in be-
half of his clients and asked that an
exception be noted to the judges rul-
ing,
He then gave notice that the defense
would interpose demurrer to the in
dictment, which will be filed tomorrow
morning.
On previous occasion Judge Lawlor
denied from the bench a motion to
strike the indictments against Nicholas
and Duffy from the files.
No sooner had the Duffy
cases been disposed of than an attor-
ney asked to have the arraignment of
Nathan M. Adler, restaurant keeper,
charged with perjury. postponed until
the members of the grand jury could
'be summoned
Judge Lawlor replied that the grand
jury had been bothered enough in the
indictment cases and the reply was
made that the point was peculiar in the
Adler case. The hearing In the Adler
case was then postponed until o'clock
Monday.
Adler was the proprietor of French
restaurant and was indicted for per-
jury on the charge that he withheld
evidence In the examination regarding
the alleged eXtortion practiced by
Mayor Schmitz and Abraham Ruef.
Supervisor Nicholas was indicted on
the charge of agreeing to receive a
bribe. while Duffy. city hall janitor,
is accused of perjury.

City Attorney Recommends PASSAGE of
Ordinance, in Order to Expedite
Friendly Suit and Judi
cial Decision

For three hours yesterday afternoon
the Los Angeles city council heard
arguments on the proposition of the
Hartman trolley interests in Los An
geles to install $5,OOO,O0O worth of i'm
p1ovements and to build subways and
extensions preparatory to shortening
the time to the beach cities.
City Attorney Mathews, through his
assistant, Mr.. Hewitt, reported con-
cerning the franchises and privileges
asked for, giving it as his opinion that
though the railroad company owned
all the hill property at California street
II could not get a perpetual franchise
for tunnel there. He did not concede
the company's point that the city char
ter did not cover AN underground
privilege there. maintaining that the
21-year law applied there as we'll as at
other points.
The company maintains that it can
do as 1T likes with it's own property,
but just as freely comedies that
franchises are required on Flower street
and Vermont avenue for surface
crossings and for tunnel privileges
where they run under city streets,
especially II near enough to the surface

taken up with arguments by Judge

Gilman Houghton, Messrs. Blair and
Holmes, representing property owners,
also added their oratory.
New issues. hive been injected into
the contest by the entry of property
owners on Hill street, Sunset boule.
ward and in adjoining territory.
They are aligned with the street car
company in asking for the tunnels. as
they say they will not only greatly en-
nance. their property but give an out
let and inlet for the northwestern sec
tions of Los Angeles.
In response to questions as to the
most expeditions way to have the
points at issue judiciouslly determined
MI. Hewitt suggested to the council
that friendly suit could follow en-
actment of the ordinances prayed for.
Another way would be for the rail :
road company to begin work on the
tunnels regardless of permit, at which
the city could bring an Injunction.
This litigation might, however. dra o
through years.
The result of the afternoon session
was to instruct the city attorney to
prepare the necessary ordinances and
submit them to the council Monday
afternoon.

"Open Door"
Mistrusts Cars Good

Diplomatic Relations Between coun.
tries Strained by Publication
Of Dispatch from
Nagasaki
BY Associated Press

By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 14.-The re-
lations of the Russian and Japanese
diplomats, who are negotiating treaty
of commerce, have been seriously
strained by the publication of a dis
patch obviously inspired from Naga-
saki, rejecting upon the good faith of
Russia regarding the "open door," and
fnsinuating that she Is evading the
stipulations of the Portsmouth treaty
in the matter of getting her troops out
of Manchuria.
This Janaese statement is character
lied here as tissue of inexactitudes
designed to influence public opinion
while Japan Is taking advantage of
Russia's weakness to obtain profit
never contemplated by the treaty of
Portsmouth.
particular apprehension is felt here
over the effect that the Japanese in
situations with regard to the "open
door" may have upon American senti-
ment.
AS an evidence of Russia's sincere
adherence to that principle it is ex-
planned that she is even contemplating
opening International navigation to the
Amur and Sungari rivers.
The navigation of these rivers was
reserved by the treaty of Aigun of 1858
to Russia and China Jointly, but Russia
insists that Japan can under no in
struction of the Portsmouth treaty de-
mand this as a right.
Japan bases her pretensions to the
navigation of the rivers on the ground
that the treaty was abrogated by the
treaty of Portsmouth and the Chino
Japanese treaty of 1905, by which all
agreements infringing upon the SOW
ereignty of China were nullified and
Manchuria opened to international
trade.
Russia contends that joint navigation
Of these rivers does not infringe upon
the sovereignty Of China nor prevent
the entrance of foreign goods into
Manchuria.

SlMPLIFIED SPELLING
GETS FINAL oUIETUS
BY Associated press.


WASHINGTON Dec. IL. - What
probably will be the last act Of the
house of representatives on the sub
ject Of simplihed spelling occurred to-
day when. on motion of Representative
Tawney, chairman of the committee on
appropriations, the house without de-
bate or division struck out of the legis-
lative, executive and judicial bill the
provision relative TO spelling. The ac-
tion was taken because of the promise
of the president to revoke his order
to the public printer and the conse-
quent adoption of yesterdays resolution
on this subject.
The simplifed form of spelling will
be continued in all correspondence
emanatlng from the White House, not
withstanding what action may be taken
by congress in the matter of spelling
in public documents. The use OF the
simplihed form will include all corre-
spondence passing between the White
House and public officials, personal
correspondence of the president. and
in fact, all communications which do
not require printing at the government
printing office.

CITES DECISIONS
FAV0RING GRANTS
FOR SUBWAYS

In framing their opinions for the
guidance of the city council Attorneys
w. B. Mathews and Leslie Hewitt had
under consideration a digest of opin-
ions furnished by the able legal staff
of the Hartman trolley interests, head
ed by Judge John r. Pope.
These represent expert delving into
law reports sustaining the company's
contention that ownership of land
(not streets) nests exclusively with
property owners. regardless of any sur
face rights of cities. On this basis of
reasoning the city would have no con-
trol even of streets except for a depth
sufficient to carry waters sewer, gas
and electric pipes and conduits and
the surface proper.
Here are the authorities cited:
THE excavation by the plaintiffs of
the area under the sidewalk was not
unlawful They own to the center of
the street, subject to the right of way
of the public over the surface For
any interference with this right of way
the plaintiffs would have been respon-
sible. But so long as they did no in
jury to the street they were at liberty
to use the space under 1t, as they might
any other part of their property

(In this case plaintiffs were allowed
to goods in their cellar under the side
walk, the water having gotten into the
cellar from a defective sewer.)
Upon the location of a highway the
public acquire an easement not unlaW-
fully to be interrupted by the owner
of the land, but the soil and freehold
remain in the owner for every purpose
of use and profit consistent with such
easement; he may maintain ejectment

below the surface, covering it so that
the highway remains safe and con-
Venient for passage. ."-Perley VS.
