COUNCIL MUST ACT

The hard rains of last week and their
consequent damages to the streets,
sewers and the like in Los Angeles
should have been valuable lesson to
the city council They should have
washed into the councilmens dry and
arid souls the consciousness that they
were put into their present positions to
carry out the will of the voters at
large-which they are not doing now,
by any means. Further they should
have seen with their eyes something
that they have refused to hear with
their ears-that their delay in acting
on the mayors nominations to the
board of public works is costing the
city many thousands Of dollars.
Certain needed public work millions
of collars worth-mostly in street
making and paving and such improve
ments-ls absolutely stopped because
the people declared 1t should De done
under board of public works, and the
council refuses to carry out this law.
Every possible step toward doing this
work has been taken, but those desir-
ing 1t are met with the legal necessity
of a public works board to act on it.
The council refuses them one, and the
work languishes.
Meanwhile the rainy season is here.
The storms come, the unmade streets
are washed out, incompleted schemes
Of improvement are ruined, the costs
Of repairs run into the thousands-for
the city must make these repairs,
though there would be none were the
paving done-and the depleted city
treasury suffers.
Meanwhile the SNUG council sits at
ease, refusing any action; the mayors S
nominations slumber in dusty pigeon
holes; the street superintendent vainly
tries to keep up his work and not to
exceed his allowance, and the improve
ments wait.
Other storms are coming; more dam
ages will be done; greater sums will
have to be expended for repairs. And
the council-what is the council going
to do about it?
1t already contemplates the calling
Of an election for the issuance of $780,
600 of bonds to build lateral sewers
and bridges. But what confidence can
the people have in the council so long
as it persists in defying the law pro-
viding for a board of public works ?
Sewers are necessary and the bonds
will be necessary, but let the council
first straighten out its record before
II makes any more demands upon the
people

WouId-Strlng of Grocery Stores

Special TO The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 21.-A petition
has been filed in the federal court here
to declare A. f. Norton, a Marion
grocer who conducted his grocery
stores "as Christ would run Them" q
bankrupt. The creditors allege that
Norton's liabilities are $4,000, and his
assets about $4,000, and that he is
hopeessly involved.
Mr. Norton has been known for ten
years as the man who was following
in his business the methods he believed
Jesus would follow were he on EARTH
and he was supposed to be very sue
cessful. He showed many eccentricities,
refusing to handle cigars and tobacco
or any groceries that were known to
contain spirits He paid his clerks
every evening, holding that the money
belonged to them and he had no right
to keep it over night, and he sold only
for cash and refused to employ de-
livery compelling his customers to
come after their goods.
At one time he was conducting siX-
teen groceries in something like a
dozen different towns. His methods
created great deal of prejudice among
other merchants and he was forced to
move his stock from one place because
he could neither rent business room
nor buy a lot on which to build.
In another towA the labor unions ar
rayed themselves against him, and his
patronage fell off and he was forced
to move.
First knowledge of his financial
trouble came yesterday when he was
arrested on a charge of uttering a
worthless check. He refused to give
bond, saying that he had refused to go
on bonds for others and he would not
do for himself that which he would not
do for other men.
The judge finally accepted the bond
without his signature and he was re-
leased. He says he believed he had
money in the bank when he issued the
check.

PLEA OF THE PACKERS

The packers of the country, accused
by the government of conspiracy in re-
straint of trade, are on trial in Chi
cago. Not squarely on the issue; no,
they haven't arrived at that on either
side. But on the speeious pleas that
they are immune to prosecution. And
why? Because, they say, they are
guaranteed it under section of the
law, for they had to produce incrim-
mating evidence against themselves.
This evidence-the packers admit that
it is incriminating-cons of their
own books and papers, their rec
ords of their unlawful dealings.
records of their unlawful dealings.
These were examined by the United
States government, and though it is
asserted-and generally believed-that
Commissioner Garfield did promise i'm
munity to the packers, the present suit
is based on the revelations made by
those very documents.
Should this plea of the packers stand?
Certainly not in right and equity,
though what may happen in law is be-
yond ordinary ken. If it does, what is
to permit any criminal prosecution
against anyone?
Carry this plea to its logical conclu-
sion. A man in a place of trust robs
his employers by falsifying MS books.
His guilt may be established only by
means of these records. They are prof
fered by him, examined, and his guilt
is evident. Shall he be permitted to
go into court and plead that as the evil
dence was compulsory, and is found
in his books, he is immune? What
is to esstop the burglar, caught with
his plunder, from taking advantage OF
the same plea?
The packers seemingly are guilty;
they dare not face the square issue
But they have glib and clever lawyers
These attorneys evolve this specious
plea and advance it, not in the inter
ests of justice, but to dodge a trial
and evade a fair hearing. on the face
of this very plea the guilt of the pack
ers stands plainly forth.

0ramatizatIon Of Mary e. wilkins
Jerome" Presents Favorlte
Players In congenial
Roles

Manager Morosco offered the Bur
bank Theater stock company yesterday
in a dramatization of Mary Il. Will
kins' story, Jerome" and the change
to rural drama was refreshing. AT
both performances yesterday huge au-
dienceg greeted their favorltes with an
uproar as they made their first APP
pearance in rustic garb.
William Desmond. who only yester-
day recovered from severe sore
throat, was seen as Jerome, and his
impersonation of that lovabe charac-
ter was delightful. Blanche Hall as
Lucina Merritt made the most of the
role and looked charming.
Willis Marks as Simon Bassett was
excellently cast. John Burton's Colonel
Jack Lamson was satisfactory. Ben
nett Southard's Eben Merritt proved
that clever actors versatility. II. j.
CHM did another decidedly clever
character sketCh.as Eliphalet. Raymond
Manion, as DR.. Prescott, pressed the
role to its utmost
Robert Homans, who last week took
the place of William Desmond on a
few hours notice, was seen as Law
renee Prescott. His splendid person.
ality was felt at several strong scenes.
Henry Stockbridge played Adoniram
Judd, another of those delightful coun-
try pumpkins, that he knows so well
how to present.
V. II. Henderson proved himself a
most valuable addition to the Burbank
theater forces by his grotesquely funny
Lisha Robinson. Jane Keton was ad-
mirable as Elmira Edwards. Monda
Glendower's voice could be heard dis
tinctly yesterday in contrast to last
week, and her performance of Paulina
was very acceptable.
