Case Involving Los Angeles ordi-
nance viii Be Carried to the
Supreme Court Of caIifor-
mia If Necessary

Walter S. Newhall, prominent club
man, living at 81 Chester place, is eX-
pected to fight to the finish the case of
his chauffeur, E. Schultz, arraigned
before Police Justice Rose yesterday
charged with exceeding the speed
limit.
Attorney Lynn Helm will conduct the
case for the defense, and If his client
is found guilty at the trial on October
the case will be appealed to the su-
perior court.
So far there has been no real test of
the city speeding ordinance. which is
considered by many lawyers to be in
valid, as many automobiles prefer to
ray a small fine rather than contest
the case.
1t is probable that the Schultz case
will decide the legality of the ordin-
ance under which Patrolmen Mojonier
and Berchtold are making arrests.
Automobilists all over Southern Call
fornia are Interested in the result.
Counsel for Bert Dingley succeeded
in knocking out the state automobile
Nav under which many motoring en-
thusasts were fined in sums aggregat-
ing thousands of dollars.
Another case pending is that of c.
Smith, recently found guilty of exceed
ing the speed limit. The case also has
been appealed to the superior court.
The following were fined $40 each
yesterday on convictions of automobile
speeding: C. C. Vogt, j. S. Green, c.
l.. Newerf, r. Meyhen, G. W. Fergu-
son and F. Siegeit.
