WATER COMPANY OBJECTS
TO THE FRANCHISE TAX

The first of the expected objections
to County Assessor Wards levy on the
franchises of corporations doing bust
ness in Los Angeles county was brought
TO the attention of the board of suner-
vlsors yesterday while sitting as a
BOARD of equalization.
The California Domestic Water COM
pany of Whittier, through its secretary.
William c. Learmont, filed a protest
against being taxed on it's franchise
at a valuation of $14,925, as appears on
the current tax roll.
Most of the consumers served bv the
California company are stockholders in
the concern and the claim is raised
that it is cooperative affair. and as
such should not be subjected to the
franchise tax.
I'VE pay taxes on the land and i'm
provements," said Secretary Learmont
yesterday, land were instrumental in
bringing the water to the soil. Without
the water the soil would be almost
valueless. 1t is not right that we
should have to pay for using our own
water.'
After hearing the company's claim
the supervisors took the matter und sr
advisement.

POLICE DEFEATED
IN TEST CASE
Judge Smith Rules That Suspended
Sentences Cannot Be Enforced
Subsequently Without For-
NAL Order of Court

In the habeas corpus proceeding of
Walter Douglass, a negro Pullman car
porter who was arrested June IL on "A
suspended police court sentence, Judge
Smith yesterday decided that because
there had been no warrant issued at the
time of the second arrest the man could
not be held, and ordered his release.
This decision is an important one to
the police department, as the practice
of imposing heavy sentences and then
suspending them is a common occur
renee.
Douglass was arrested April on a
charge of vagrancy and was sentenced
to $50 days in Jail, but the court al
lowed him his liberty on the promise
that he would leave the city When
arrested a second time Douglass claimed
that he was employed On a sleeping car,
and was merely enjoying a day off
when he was recognized and locked up
to serve the former sentence, without
the formality of trial.
Judge Smiths decision says in part:
TT is conceded that the police magis-
trate had power to suspend the sem
tence. Conceding, not deciding, that the
magistrate has such power, 1t follows
that such an order must be revoked be
fore the judgment could be enforced,
and hence we cannot presume that the
order of suspension has been set aside,
and it therefore is in full force and the
prisoner must be discharged"

Superintendent TALKS
OF EASTERN FAIRGROUNDS

c. B. Raitt, superintendent of play
grounds, who has just returned from an
eastern trip, says he finds that every
where these Fairgrounds are regarded
as the best preventives of crime among
young people.
The big cities are spending hundreds
of thousands of dollars for this work,
especially in plunges and swimming
pools. The saving of life through turn
ing the boys away from dangerous
swimming holes" is one of the great
advantages shown.
Superintendent Raitt told of New
Yorks setting aside $1,5O0,OO0 for one
site which could have been had for
many thousands less few years ago.
LOS Angeles will make a great mis-
take if she waits until the price of prop
erty goes to a prohibitive figure. Now
is the best time said he.

SEEK ENFORCEMENT OF
ANTI-SM0KE ORDINANCE

Committees of the Los Angeles Coun-
ty Medical association and of the Med
are working to have the anti-smoke
ordinances enforced, and they will visit
the city council committee of the whole
in a body shortly to urge upon the law
makers the Importance of stopping the
emission of dense smoke in industrial
Los Angeles.
Some of the arguments cited are:
SCOT mingled with atmosphere causes
serious loss to merchants when goods
exposed are soiled.
Entire neighborhoods are damaged
because smoke drives the better class
of residents away.
Visitors to. the city and prospective
investors get an unfavorable impression
if they see smoke clouds.

WOMAN SEIZED
BY A PROWLER
IDENTIFIES MAN ARRESTED AS
ASSAILANT
Screams Save Girl from Rough Usage
at Hands of Brutal Midnight
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
to Rescue

Shortly after midnight of Thursday
Miss Nellie Coyle, who resides at 7O4
Bernardo street, was attacked near
her home by Joe Borello, afterward
arrested and identified, the police say,
as the woman's aSsailant. Borello
lives on Castelar, street. The arrest
was made by Patrolman Dowd at 2:45
o'clock yesterday morning. Miss Coyle
was sent for and went to the police
station and identified Borello as the
man who had assaulted her.
According to her story told the po-
lice, Miss Coyle was on her way home
from a visit to some friends. She had
just alighted from a University car
and was walking toward her home
when the man jumped from the shad-
ow OF some trees and grabbed her by
the throat with one hand while he
tried to place the other over her
mouth to prevent her from making an
outcry. In this he was not successful,
as the young woman twisted her head
away and gave several screams for
help, at the same time beating Borello
on the head and face with a light UNI
brella which she carried. Hearing
someone approaching, the man turned
and ran from the woman. Patrolman
Dowd came to the rescue of the wo-
man and stopped only long enough to
learn the trouble and get a description
of the man. After nearly two hours
search the officers caught him at his
home and lodged him in Jail.
1t is thought robbery was the only
motive for the attack upon the young
woman by Borello. but he is booked
at the station house on suspicion until
something more can be learned of his
record. The police say they are Of the
opinion that Borello is concerned in
the several attacks which have been
made lately upon women alone upon
the streets, In which each time rob-
berry was the motive.
