the voters of Los Angeles city in the
form of an amendment to the city char

legislature.
II am inclined to believe this en-
tirely a municipal matter and one
which should not be imposed upon the
legislature, but should be left to the
city council and the people of the
city of Los Angeles. and as a member
o. the Legislature do not desire to med
die in their affairs.
Heretofore 1 have been severely
criticised by your honorable body for
introducing bill in the legislature at
the request of a friend. which had
nothing whatever to do and could not
In any way possible be applied to
municipal matters of a freeholders'
chartered city, such as Los Angeles.
You have also denounced by resolution
as un-American and pernicious another
proposed law pending before the legis-
lature, which subject was not strictly
municipal matter, but one subject
to the general laws of the state

while l believe in the right of petition

this instance l must respectfully de-

One member of the council moved
that the letter be filed, but this aroused
protests. Councilman Blanchard moved
that 1t be referred to the health de-

Pease declined to put the motion and
all had a laugh over it.
City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt said
afterward that the bill had been in
troduced both In the senate and house

Declines to Father Bill Prepared by
City Attorney, Giving to Street
Railways the Right to

Senator Mccartney handed a lemon
tc the Los Angeles city council yester-
day when he wrote back to that body
that he would not introduce or father
the bill for granting street railways
the right to carry freight through the
streets.
The letter was as follows:
''ro the Chairman and Members of the
City Council Los Angeles:
"Gentlemen:-I have this day re-
ceived from Mr. Leslie Hewitt, city
attorney of Los Angeles, a letter. In
which was enclosed draft of bill relative
TO the granting to street railways the
right to operate freight cars and to

city of Los Angeles and other cities

THE CIGARETTE CASE
SILENT TOKEN OF AN OLD MANS
DEEP GRATITUDE.
Lieutenant in the British Army Finds
Opportunity for Active Service on
the Strand, snatching Un.
known Donor From Death.

One day last December an old gen.
tleman was walking leisurely along the
Strand, London.
1t may be that his thoughts we're
bent on the brightlylighted shops,
more resplendent than usual now with
Christmas wares OF every sort.
Or It may be that he was intent on
the constant stream that flowed by.
Some people elbowed past him, his
pace no pace for them; others brushed
against him rudely, eager to proceed
in an opposite direction.
Sadly he may have recalled the DAYS
Of his youth, when the young were
taught to respect the old, and treat
them with courtesy.
Let us follow the old gentleman in
his movements.
The sight is not very exciting
one There is nothing to imagine that
within a few minutes he will be stand
ing on the curb pale and trembling
at the thought of a horrible death
from which he had been snatched in
the nick of time.
The old gentleman shuddenly turns
to the right and makes as if to cross
the street. AT the edge Of the pave
ment he pauses and glances cautiously
before him.
Seemingly the way is sufficiently
clear for him to venture across.
He steps on to the asphalted road
unconscious that bearing rapidly
down on him is a motor bus
Then he sees the danger.
Retreat appears impossible The
great red car is almost on him.
Something suddenly grips the old
gentleman by the arm. He feels him
self as it were snatched into the air,

Almost powerless with horror, he
realizes that a strong arm is support

Then, in a voice unsteady with emo
ton, he murmurs words of thanks
and implores his new-found friend to
tell him his name
At first the request was politely re.
fused but the old gentleman plead.
ingly persisted, until at last the rescu.
err handed him his card.
And now comes the pleasant seouel
to this adventure. Some time later
when Mr. Hugh Foster who is a lieu.
tenant in the Hampshire Volunteers
returned to his office, he learned that
an old gentleman had left a parcel for
him.
With no thought of the incident in
his mind, Mr., Foster opened the par.
eel.
A look of surprise came over his
face as he lifted out from a wrapping
Of tissue paper a solid gold cigarette
case.
Then the thought flashed through
his mind - this must be from the old
gentleman to whom he had lent so
friendly a hand. But, search as he
might every scrap of paper that the
parcel contained, Mr.. Foster could find
no sign of any name.
Even that Of the jeweller from whom
the case had been bought had been
carefully cut from the box.
