DISTRICT ATTORNEY ASKS FOR
CLEMENCY.
Judqe Smith ReIents After Conferring
With Counsel on Both Sides, and
Ontiveras' Slayer Gets Three-Year
Sentence Instead of Five

Through the timely intervention of
District Attorney Fredericks, Elseo
Lopez, charged with the murder of
Pedro Ontiveras, was saved from a
possible five years sentence by Judge
Smith of the superior court yesterday.
Lopez was arraigned for sentence
and his legal counsel attempted to ask
for a probation of the accused.
Judge Smith at first refused to listen
to such overtureS, but when Lopez
counsel said it was upon the sugges-
ton of District Attorney FrederickS
that a plea of guilty was entered with
a possible probation if convicted, Judge
Smith called District Attorney Freder-
icks to the court room.
The latter practically corroborated
the statements of the counsel for the
accused and Lopez was placed on pro-
baton for three years.

GRAVES POLLUTE
C|TY'S WATER
NEAR
SOURCE OF SUPPLY
Health Officer Will Ask City Council
to Restrain Owners From Further
Endangering Lives by Maln-
tanning Burial Ground

DR.. Powers, city health officer, has
made the startling discovery that the
water supply of the city Is contain
mated by surface water from a grave
yard, and Monday he will go before the
council and ask for some legislative
action to cause the removal of
the bodies from this cemetery and to
restrain the. promoters of the enterprise
from using the ground for burial pur-
poses.
j. B. Treadwell and others associated
with him are said to be the owners of
the property on which the cemetery is
located.
Treadwell came to this city about a
year ago and bought 100 acres of land
in the San Fernando valley, about a
mile and a half from the city limits
and less than mile from the city s
water supply.
He declared that he intended to use
the land for ranch, but he went to
considerable expense for landscape
gardening and turned the ground into
a cemetery. Up to the present time
seven or eight bodies have been in
TERED in the place.
Drains Into River
1t was but few days ago, after one
of the rains in that section, that DR.
Powers found the water from the
graveyard was flowing into the Los
Angeles river from where the city gets
it's water supply and was minglng with
the subterranean flow.
The request from the health officer
will be accompanied by similar one
from Superintendent of the Water De-
partment Mulholland.
Thnco tUO have had Tn fipht
constantly to keep the water supply
from contamination.
But a few weeks ago they found the
cattle of one of the wealthiest hotel
owners in Los Angeles placidly repos-
ing in the shadows of the water, allow
ing the mud and filth to soak off them.
This was the basis for a suit which
the district attorney expects to bring
in the courts.

birds pick up from the ground and feed
upon seeds which we, walking by. can
not see is true, but the seeds are as
large to them az oranges to us, and
their eyes are not more than one inch
or one and a half inches from the
ground while they are looking for them,
