Natural Law" Read Before
Meeting of Methodist
Ministers

1.-THE Preachers Attitude Toward
Natural Law was the topic of the
paper read yesterday morning by Rev.
e. McClish at the Methodist ministers
meeting, which brought out many ia
vorable comments from the ministers.
Rev. Mr. Johnson, upholding the
paper, said: II do not think that it is
according to the right order of things
that nature should be held up with a
capital IN and Cod put down with
a small g."
"I much admire the attitude the
reader has taken,' said Rev. F. D.
Mather, "in keeping his eyes closely to
his paper while reading 1t. Ministers
sometimes while reading the Scriptures
look wisely at the congregations as if
they were of much more Importance
than the passages they were reading
and comforting a gerat favor all
around
Rev. Mr.. Withey drew a comparison
by saying: THE paper is a balm to
me. There is great difference between
it and others of last year that were
read here which harrowd and wounded
my feelings so terribly

After making some amendment the

port offered by q special committee of

day, Healy two minutes and Clampitt
two and a half minutes.
To the clause providing that only
newspaper men and city officials may
be admitted behind the railing the
provision was added "any one else bv
permission of the president" All
those who wish to speak, however,
must first have the permission of the
council.
Later in the day, when Councilman
Wren spoke more than twice on the
same subject, Councilman Blanchard
got up TO say that Wren was violating
his own rules, amid laughter.

VERDICT IS FOUND
FOR RESTAURATEUR
Judge Holds There Was No Violation
of Contract in Discharging
Unsatisfactory Musical
Organization

A verdict was found for Al Levy in
Judge Monroes department of the su-
perior court yesterday when the court
found that the proprietor of Levy s
cafe had violated no contract with a
musician after he had discharged his
orchestra following demand by the
musicians union for better wages.
Levy was made defendant in a suit
for damages instituted by G. F. An
drist, a professor of music and leader
of an. orchestra, who asked $500 dam
ages for breach of contract.
According to the evidence produced
at the trial, Levy made contract with
Andrist prior to the opening of the
Levy restaurant. The contract was
made in November, while the restau-
rant did not open until February. For
loss of time in the delay of the restau-
rant work, Andrlst asked damages.
He had contracted for $184 wages a
week for his orchestra. He later went
to Levy and told him that the musi-
clans union would not allow him to
work for that amount of money and
that he would either have to have more
or else could not furnish the music.
Thereupon Levy declared the con-
tract at an end and retained the or
chestra without contract at 5000 salary
week. Subsequently he discharged
their playing was inferior and their
presentation of pieces asked for by pa
irons was not up to the standard.
Later he secured another orchestra
and Andrist brought suit for the money
he would have received had he re-
mained at the restaurant for the re-
mainder of the year.
Levy yesterday contended that there
was no second contract and that he re-
fused to make one after the union had
prevented Andrist from completing a
contract already made.
IT am not judge OF music" said
Judge Monroe, In giving his decision.
"I would not know whether music was
good or bad; l would only know
whether or not l liked it. 1t appears,
however, that this music became in
ferior as time progressed and that 1t
did not suit the patrons OF the cafe,
and therefore l shall find for the de-
fendant.'

FLOWER VENDERS
GET SHORT DELAY
councilmen Refer Mayors Message
Suggesting SIS Monthly Fee to the
Legislative Committee After
Brief Discussion

The ordinance making a IS a month
license obligatory on flowers sellers was
brought up before the city council yes
terday and provoked considerable dis
cussion.
Mayor Harper sent a special message
suggesting that So license be imposed
for the best interests of retailers and
wholesalers.
Councilman Wallace stated that since
the florists were willing to pay large
rental to the city monthly for the
corner privileges he believed the ven-
ders could afford to pay the small loss.
the mayor suggests without serious loss.
Other councilmen were not ready to
take this view, and after brief talks the
question was referred to the legislative
committee, which may call a public
hearing to give both sides a chance to
make arguments.
The street flower sellers have become
fixed feature of Los Angeles street
life, and tourists have asked that the
license be made nominal In order to
prevent the disappearance of the nose

CITY MUST PAY
GRAVEL STORAGE
USED VACANT LOT, WHICH
PROVES COSTLY
Owner Insists That Surface Of His
Ground BE seraped Clean, and
Council Yields the
Point

Because former street superintendent
James Hanley failed to have gravel
belonging to the city removed from
vacant lot G. Il. Thorn will collect
neat rental.
The city council yesterday voted to
allow the owner $500 in full for all
claims.
Thorn a few days ago formally made
q demand for $500 on the board of pub
lie works and compromise was
reached. He asked this for the use
of property belonging to him, which
Is located on the west side of Los An
geles street, between Third and Boyd
streets. Upon this property there had
been stored gravel belonging to the
street department. The claim was
presented for the use of the lot from
August /, 1905, to December /, 1906.
Up to the time this claim was pre-
sented the board had no knowledge of
the use of this property or of the
claim. The question was investigated,
however, and II was found that on or
before August 5, 1905, Thorn notified
superintendent Hanley that such prop
erty was being used and that 1t would
no longer be permitted after August l,
1905, and If such use were continued
the city would be held for damages
and the sum of $40 per diem rental
was not removed up to the said date,
and It appears that the street depart
ment did not remove all until August
/, 1906 or about that time, when the
lot was cleared off in the opinion Of the
foreman of the street department.
Thorn, however, claimed that there
was still gravel remaining there and
in December of last year the street de-
rartment again went upon the prem
ises, removed more earth and leveled
the lot off. The claim of $400 was pre-
sented by Thom for rental up to and
including December 1, 1906. After in
vestigation the board offered to COM
promise the claim and pay $25 per
month rental for the property from
August 1, 1905, UP to the time the de-
partment considered all gravel had
been removed, namely, August, 1906,
and Thorn has accepted the said offer
of $500 in full settlement of all claims.

NO BOND ISSUE
FOR THE OUTFALL
CURRENT REVENUE AND TAXES
SET ASIDE
Council Thinks City Will Need Its
Resources in Floating $25,o0o,ooo
Owens Aqueduct Bond
Issue

The city council yesterday voted to
take care of the outfall sewer cost out
of the city's funds on hand rather than
through a special bond issue.
This action was taken in view of
recommendation of the board of pub
lie works, which suggests that the city
provide for the expense out of the
next levy of taxes and through differ
ent revenue.
The boards letter is as follows:
with reference to the construction
OF the new outfall sewer as heretofore
reported by this board the estimated
cost of completing the same is $614, 444
and the amount on hand December
was 1892 1893, leaving a deficit of $321,
500, which will have to be provided for
in the near future, as with the present
force within four months the bond fund
will be exhausted.
After consultation through the at
torney of the aqueduct with Messrs.
Dillon & Hubbard of New York it ap-
pears that 1t will be necessary and eX-
pedient that the entire amount of
bonds for the construction of the Los
Angeles aqueduct should be provided
for in one issue, though they will not
be sold at once.
This would require the calling for
bond election for twenty-three millions
of bonds for the aqueduct this spring.
"Inasmuch as our present bonding
limit is only slightly in excess of twen-
ty-three millions, in the opinion of this
board it will be highly inexpedient and
very unwise to call for an issue of
bonds in order to finish the outfall
sewer, as it might affect the credit of
the city to some extent, and also affect
the sale of the aqueduct bonds.
For this reason we urge that the
deficit in the outfall sewer bond fund
should be made up. If possible, in part
from the revenue for this year and
provision be made in the next levy of
taxes for an amount sufficient to COM
plete the work rather than to provide
for the deficit by an issue of bonds"

goes north next Sunday in the interest
of the consolidation commissions bill
he will take with him copies Of meas
ure providing for a state highway
commission and permitting cities and
counties to combine in voting bonds for
road improvement.
Mr.. Blanchard said yesterday that the
work of preparing a bill had been dele
gated to three well-known attorneys of
Los Angeles, who now are placing the
finishing touches on a measure which
they anticipate will be readily passed
by the legislature and signed by the
governor
1t is expected that this bill will be
completed in time for the holding of an
other meeting this week of the good
roads association, when permanent or
ganization will be effected, the report
of the legislative committee adopted,
and perhaps a committee named to
press the bill through the legislature.
Mr.. Butler said yesterday that dur
ing his coming visit to Sacramento his
time would be we'll occupied in looking
after the consolidation bill and that
1t would be to the interest of the good
roads association If a representative
or a committee be sent to Sacramento
to take care of the good roads measure.

made by the representatives of Harri-

Inventory of Plant
Grounds of Protest

The company specifies it's ground of
protest thus:
"For more than ten years the Sunset
Telephone and Telegraph company has
conducted a business in California,
Washington. Oregon and Nevada, and
as a part of it's business has regularly
transmitted interstate messages by
telephone and telegraph; that is to say,
messages from persons at points and
places within each of the states men
toned to persons and places in other
states. The business in Los Angeles is
part of this interstate business.
"Under the constitution of the United
States, and more particularly subdi-
vision of section s, the congress of the
United States alone has the power to
regulate commerce among the several
states. Any attempt to fix or regulate
the charges is contrary to the rights,
privileges and immunities of the COM
pany under the constitution.
1.-THE company further protests on the
ground that it has accepted the pro-
visions of the act entitled AN act to
aid In the construction of telegraph
lines and to secure to the government
the use of the same for postal, mill
tary and other purposes approved

been made December IA, 1897, with the

"The company further protests on the
ground that there is no provisions in

authorizing the city of Los Angeles to
fix the charges for telephone service In
February each year. TO take effect the
first day of July thereafter"
