HILL STREET PROJECT NEEDS
COUNCILS CONSENT
Los AngeIes-Paclflc Engineers Ready
to Start Work When Legal
Obstacles to Big Bore
Are Cleared

Mayor Harper expressed qualification
yesterday over the probable settlement
of differences between the city coun-
Gil and the Los Angeles-Pacific rail-
way officials which would insure quick
work on the tunnel under Hill street,
from First street to Temple street, and
eventually beyond to Sunset boulevard.
Because of technicalitieS there has
been delay in this movement, much to
the regret of property owners beyond
this section whose land has risen in
value because of the reports that the
tunnel would be built soon.
Improvement associations have fos-
tered this belief, as their members
looked upon the subway as good
thing for that section of Los Angeles.
Councilman Ed Clampitt of the Sec
ond ward has also worked for this
measure, as his constituents looked
to him to help the cause along.
The railway engineers have long age
put in their orders for construction ma
terials, so that the minute the permits
sion is granted work can go ahead.
Boring is usually slow and costly
work, and as this tunnel has fifty
five-foot diameter, expensive machin'
cry will be used.
The section for pedestrian traffic viii
be cut off completely from the rail-
way tunnel proper, this separation haV-
ing been one of the items of discord.

of the others being read by Judge
Lawlor by title merely, to save time.
Each of the defendants was granted
until Saturday, June 8, at 10 a. m,
to answer. More trouble arose here
over the delivery to the defense of
transcript copy of the testimony before
the grand jury, but it was finally ad-
justed by stipulation to accept four
copies instead of sixty-four, the prose-
cution and the court indorsing on the
copies an identification guaranty. In
the attendant discussion the fact was
for the first time officially admitted
that no stenographic report of Ruef'
testimony, given a few days after he
pleaded guilty and announced his in
tention of serving the prosecution, had
been taken.
Mayor Schmitz and Ruef were the
next defendants to be arraigned on in
dictments identical with those
returned against the officials of the
United Railroads. The former was
granted until Thursday, June 6, at 4:3O
D. M, and the latter until Friday, June
T. at the same hour, to answer. Test1-
mony transcripts with stipulated in
dorsements were handed to Mr.. Camp
bell and Senator Keane by Mr.. Copp,
after considerable discussion that arose
through the stated inability of the
, overworked grand jury stenographers
to turn out all of the copies demanded
in the circumstances. Judge Lawlor
read and formally approved the vari-
Gus bail bonds, aggregating approx
mately quarters Of a million dol
lars. given by Schmitz, Calhoun, Mul-
lally, Ford and Abbott in connection

HUNDREDS HEAR
WATER SPEECHES

Owens river enthusiasts by the hun

Molino streets last night and listened
to addresses by Councilman Dromgold
of the First ward and President PeasG
of the city council, besides several ora
tors from among those present, who
gIadlv volunteered their services in be-
half of the cause of better water sup
ply.
council was the principal officer of the
evening, and in addition to his duties
as chairman he delievered one of the
most telling addresses In favor of the
bonds which Will come up Tor election

Mr. Pease, who has been one of the
foremost merchants of Los Angeles for
a score or more of years, stated that
he was firmly convinced that the city
could not progress beyond it's present
limits unless it had adequate water to
supply a greater population.
''We have faced a water famine in
the past" said Mr.. Pease, "and should
this occur when there are numbers of
strangers and tourists in the city the
injury would be unlimited. Every one
who comes here is so struck with the
wonderful conditions to be found on
every hand that nine out of ten of them
vow that they will have no other home
DuI LUIS <AllSSlcS.

Imagine what it would feel like to

while they were making these declara-
tions. Every last one of them, know
ing as they do that water is none too
abundant in California would imme-
diately decide that the old home was
better after all, and we would lose
thousands of prospective citizens.
"We must have the Owens river
Not alone because those who are bound
to settle in our midst demand 1t, but
also because the population we have
at present cannot exist with the pres
ent water supply. Many times in the
past we have gone short of water, and
unless we accept the remedy at hand
we must expect it to occur again"
When he left the platform President
Pease was roundly cheered, and an in
formal ballot among those present
showed unanimous opinion in favor
of the Owens river bonds among the
residents of the Pieo Heights district.

form We're received with the same en-
tbusiasm as was Mr.. Pease, and the

Prosecutor WCii nCPICoCitC0
For the state were Assistant District
Attorneys Francis j. Heney, Harrison
and OGara and C. w. Cobb, Mr.. Hen
ey's law partner, Special Agent William
J. Burns, who furnished the bulk of the
evidence which will be ordered in the
contest against the accused, and Ru-
dolph Spreckels, financial hacker of
the whole bribery graft investigation
and prosecution, was in attendance, as
was Elisor w. K. Biggy, in whose GUS
tody is Ruef, the fallen political boss
who lately turned states evidence. The
small court room was packed. The ac-
cused men sat in a row back of the
counsel table.
Vice President Glass and Agent Hal
sey of the telephone company, who
were arraigned several days ago, were
the first to be called to answer. Mr..
Delmas, replying, read a motion to set
aside the indictments on purely formal
and technical grounds. After brief
consultation, Joined in by opposing
counsel and the court, Judge Lawlor
announced that beginning next Monday
he will sit each day at p. m. to hear
arguments on the motion. Mr.. Delmas
then made formal demand for full
transcript of all the testimony reported
by the grand jury stenographers. Mr..
DelmaS required written identifica-
t1on OF this transcript, bulky type
written volume, in order that no future
dispute as to the authenticity might
arise during the cross examination of
the states witnesses by the defense
After this had been agreed to Mr.
Delmas and his clients left the court
room.
Judge Lawlor then called the cases
against Abraham K. Detweiler, the
Ohio millionaire fugitive from justice
whom the grand jury has indicted on
thirteen counts charging the bribery
of supervisors in behalf of the Home
Telephone company.
"Is there any report as to the arrest
of this defendant?' asked the court
"None, your honor" replied Mr..
Cobb The cases were continued until
Monday. Though Burns and his men
have searched far and wide and high
and low they have failed utterly, they
admit, to discover Detweiler's hiding
place.
