WILL NOT RETURN
Statement Given Out That Former
Southern Pacific Employe Has
Declined Position

#. A. Graham, assistant general
freight and passenger agent for the
Southern Pacific, said yesterday that
G.. A. Parkyns would not return to the
position which he vacated six months
ago and is now occupied by Mr.. Gra-
ham.
Hitherto Mr.. Graham has declared
that Mr.. Parkyns would again have his
old position, but It is understood that
Mr.. Parkyns' health will not allow him
TO assume the strenuous duties of the
position.
Mr.. Parkyns' leave Of absence expired
two weeks ago and 1t was thought at
that time that he would again get into
the harness on the first of the month
lie returned to Los Angeles yesterday
and his friends say that he declined
the position because he was of the
opinion that the duties were too much
for him to assume, as he has not en-
tirely recovered his health.
This will probably cause a general
shaking up In the local offices. AS to
whether MIR. Graham will continue in
the position that he now holds Is a
question. Several railroad officials said
yesterday that 1t Is their belief that
Mr.. Graham is too valuable a man to
leave in the position he holds at present
and that he will probably be recalled
to San Francisco.

CITIZEN MAY SOON
SUCCEED WRIGHT
C0UNCILMEN FAVOR HIM FOR
LIBRARY BOARD
Name Presented by Mayor McAIeer
and at Conclusion Of lnvestlea-
ton Is lie Thought He Will
Be Confirmed

Mayor McAleer yesterday submitted
the name of G. M. Giffen to the city
council as a member of the library
board to take the place of Foster G.
Wright, whose term expired Febru-
airy 2.
An effort was made by some of the
councilmen to have the nomination con-
hrmed at once, but in pursuance of a
promise made to Mr.. Wright that his
successor would not be confirmed until
the conclusion of the library investiga-
ton, the name of Mr.. Giffen was re-
ferred to the committee of the whole.
Mr.. Giffen was formerly a member
Of the board of education and every
member of the council has stated he
will vote for the confirmation when 1t
can be done in Justice to Mr.. Wright.
Director Wright Is one of the MEM
bers of the library board under In
vestigation by the council for their ac-
ton in removing Miss Mary l.. Jones,
former librarian. His term expired
February 1, but the library investiga-
ton was then on and declaring that
he did not want to retire from office
while under fire, asked Mayor McAleer
IL he would not postpone the naming
of his successor until after the council
cation. The mayor told him he would
give him three weeks grace but would
not consent to another day. This period
of grace expired Friday.
All the testimony in the library case
has been taken but the committee of
the whole before which the hearing
was held, has not yet reported to the
council, and according to Councilman
Smith, chairman of the committee,
there will be no report until next Mon
day, when the verdict will be given.
Dock Houghton yesterday declared
that the testimony was not complete
because the mayor had been given no
opportunity to refute the charges made
by the library directors and that the
chief executive was the prime mover
In the dismissal of Miss Jones. That
statement the mayor denied at the first
evening of the hearing, the only time
when he was present at any session of
the investigation.
Houghtons suggestion did not meet
with the favor of the council and the
mayor will not be invited to clear him
self. The councils previous experience
with the mayor has forced it to the
conclusion that he is not most salts
factory witness.

CLAIM SEWAGE
CAUSES FEVER.
LAND AND WATER COMPANY
WANTS IT STOPPED
Communication Presented to the City
Council by c. F. Derby Referred
to Sewer ommlttee-Former
Refutes Charges Made

According to statement submitted
to the council yesterday by C. f.
Derby, former foreman of the outfall
sewer and now employed as inspec-
tor. the Inglewood Land & Water
company, piqued at it's inability to
gain control Of the disposal Of city
sewage for irrigation purposes. is maxi
ing an effort to have the sale Of this
sewage by the city discontinued.
Mr.. Derbys communication, which
was referred to the sewer committee,
ls to the effect that this water COM
pany proposes to have the council or
der the sale of this sewage discon-
tinued and has already petitioned the
board of supervisors to that effect. In
their petition, Mr.. Derby says, the
company advances the claims that the
disposal of sewage for irrigation pur-
poses has the effect of producing ty-
phoid fever drives away prospective
settlers from the Inglewood district
and has held back the price Of
property.
In reputation Of these charges Mr..
Derby, who is constantly on the
ground in his capacity of inspector
council, qualified to know whereof he
speaks, declares that with all the
cases of typhoid fever in the Ingle-
wood district there has been but one
directly on the sewer and all other
cases had been in Inglewood and the
victims were all users of the Ingle-
wood company's water
Denies All Allegations
To the charge that property inter-
ests are injured, he declares that be-
fore sewage was used for irrigation
land in that vicinity sold for $35 an
acre. while now it brings $500 an acre.
Before the irrigation, he continues, the
land would produce nothing but hay
and barley, now everything can be
raised from tropical fruits to "um-
brellas."
If the council discontinues the sale
of sewage, he concludes. it will lose
large revenue, for from the beginning
of this sale the city has received
100000 in round numbers, and the
land will again become fit for nothing
but hay and barley. Not only Is this
the case, according to his conclusion,
but the outfall sewer will break as
often in the future as it has in the
past and without the sewage being
turned into irrigation channels, as now
is the case, it will inundate the pub
lie roads and result in numerous dam
age suits to the city.
The inspector declares the city's rec
ords of three years ago Will show
where the Inglewood Water company
attempted to gain control OF the DIS
posal of sewage and as 1T was defeated
in this purpose has since made efforts
to have it's use discontinued.

Henry Simpson, the negro, who shot

East Third street some time ago, was

Simpson, who was shot by Alton in a
quarrel over a woman, fatally wounded

charge of murder has been placed
against Simpson, but 1t is doubtful II
