COUNCIL BALKS At
BOARD OF WORKS
"SPIRIT" DOES NOT MOVE CITY
LEGISLATORS
Leaves Of Absence Delay Any Possible
Action Regarding the Mayors
Choice for Important
Commission

Two weeks have passed and still tho
spirit moVeth not the committee Of the
whole to assemble and consider the
mayors appointees for the board OF
public works
Yesterday was the day when by the
charter provision voted on at the last
election the new board of public works
was to assume its duties. but there is
no board, for the council has not con-
firmed the appointments of the mayor
The delay in calling a meeting of the
committee of the whole is caused by
the absence of Councilmen Summer
land and Hitler Councilman Hitler was
granted thirty days leave of absence,
of which twenty days have passed
Councilman Summerland was given
II days and last week sent commu-
nic3tion to the council asking two
weeks additional. This request was
readily granted and it was intimated
that further leaves of absence would
be welcomed as an additional excuse
would be furnished for continuing the
delay in assembling the committee of
the whole.
The facts of the case. which are tac-
lily admitted by nearly every mem-
ber of the council, are that the council
does not like the mayors board of pub
lie works and would like to hold up
the confirmation until the present
mayor is out of office.
1t was practically agreed between
the members OF the council on it's
recent junket into the Owens river
valley. when many state secrets were
openly discussed, that if the mayor
insisted on sending in the names of
those he had previously declared as
his nominees there would be no haste
to confirm the selections.
That there will be no haste to con-
firm the board was shown by the an
swer of President Pro Tenn Blanchard
when he was asked when the commits
tee of the whole would meet. when
the spirit moves u.s." answered Mr..
Blanchard.
At least two persons are in hearty
sympathy with the council in it's de-
lay of confirmation. These are City
Engineer Harry Stafford and Street Su-
perintendent James Haniey. AS long
as there is no board of public works
these two officials will enjoy all the
authority attached to their offices,
while under the board of public works
they will be but figureheads for one
year, when they must step down and
out.

All of those who saw the boys run

Nickerson for his action after colliding
with the lads, and say that he was In
no way responsible for the accident.
The party in the automobile which
ran down the boys was returning from
the tournament of roses at Pasadena.
1t is said that those In the machine
were guests of Fred Ward, proprietor
of road house on Mission road, which
was raided recently by the police.
Nickerson is a regularly employed
chauffeur for Ward.
When Nickerson arrived at the po-
lice station yesterday afternoon and
gave himself up a message was sent to
the Central Garage company to send
an automobile to the police station at
once. There was much delay in the
arrival of the machine, said to be due
to the inexperience of the chauffeur
sent out by the garage company.
Nickerson was arrested Sunday af-
ternoon for violating the automobile
speed ordinance. He will come UP for
trial on that charge before Judge Rose
this morning.

ACT FOLLOWS CONFESSION
OF CROOK
Yeegman Tells Officers That Band Of
Thieves Planned General Rob-
bery--story Immediately
Confirmed

Startling developments, following an
alleged confession of reformed
crook" uncovering a plot Of a band
OF organized criminals to steal mail
boxes, came early yesterday morning
when the theft of a box at Wilshire
boulevard and Rampant street was re-
ported to the local police.
The mail box and iron post to which
IL was attached were removed late
Sunday evening or early yesterday
morning without the slightest clew,
save wagon tracks and horseshoe
prints in the damp earth being left.
Residents of the district in which the
box was stolen cannot enlighten the
officers in the least regarding the
theft.
Closely followed by the overturning
of the plot, through the confession of
a yegg. that a gang of eastern profess
sionals were to raid three jewelry
stores on Friday night preceding
Christmas and the plans of the sans
gang to rob six postal sub-stations on
the following night, came the reported
tip to the police that n gang had laid
plans to loot and steal mail boxes.
1t is said that the police were much
agitated by the report of the theft,
which followed the confession made not
twelve hours previous. At once Secret
Service Agent Cronin placed his forces
in the field to work in conjunction with
local detectives. Shortly after o'clock
Detectives Jones and Mcnamara ar
rested a man on suspicion of being inn
plicated in the mail box theft.
After most rigid examination by
Captain of Detectives Flammer and his
men the prisoner was released. When
an effort was made to learn upon what
charge the man had been arrested the
officers only passed the matter off in a
light way Persons claiming to know
the workings of the department say
that the man was released because
nothing could be gained by holding
him and in order that the officers might
watch him.
instructions have been issued to the
members Of the patrol and detective
department to make the most rigid but
quiet investigation of the affair. Nc
time or means will be spared by the
local department or the secret SER
vice in locating the gang If one mem

Tomorrow

The Pacific Electric Railway COM
pany has repaired the damage done by
the fire about five weeks ago when
the incline railway on Mount Lowe was
destroyed and service will be renewed
Wednesday.
The Pacific Electric claims this to be
record breaker in reconstruction.
Owing to the engineering difficulties
of building the incline railway the
work was necessarily slow but the
work of reconstruction was begun al
most before the last ember of the fire
had died out and a large force pushed
It to completion.
The incline railway is one of the ex-

lists have been eagerly awaiting another
chance to see it in operation.
