District Attorneys Force VIII BE
Greatly Hampered If Men Con-

''The latch string has always been
out for Ed Fleming. and it still hangs
easily within his reach," said District
Attorney Fredericks yesterday, speak
ing of the changes in the Office of the
chief city prosecutor made necessary
by the recent decision of the supreme
court.
II would like very much to see Mr..
Fleming back with us in the district
attorneys office,' he continued, ''and
don't mind saying we both have dis
cussed the matter. but no decision has
been reached by him."
The decision of the supreme court
reached the district attorneys office
yesterday, and together Fredericks and
Fleming discussed it's points.
my opinion of its effects have not
changed from those / expressed when
its contents were reported to me-" said
Fredericks. "As before, we will have
to take care of the state misdemeanor
cases coming up in the police courts,
but in doing so our work in the county
building will be greatly hampered. The
force of men at our command now is
hardly adequate for the work we are
called upon to do, but see no relief,
and we will have to do the best we
can."
The state misdemeanor cases, 1t was
said by Fleming, made up more than
so per cent of the receipts turned into
the city treasury from the police
courts, the other 40 per cent being re-
ceived through fines for violations Of
the ordinances.

CLAIMS OF WITNESSES
HELD UP BY JUDGE
Asks District Attorney to Look Up
Law on Subject--Makes No
Ruling in Regard to
the Matter

An order was yesterday entered by
Judge Conrey of the superior court
that all claims of witnesses in the
Ocean Park illegal registration cases
which have not so far been paid shall
be resubmitted for further considera-
tion and that payment be suspended
until further order of the court.
The clerk was also directed to re-
quest the district attorney to submit
a statement of the law on the subject.
The question arose over belief in
some quarters that the court had made
a new ruling regarding the pay of witt
ness fees, but it was stated yesterday
that during the trial of the Ocean Park
cases witnesses have been allowed $1.50
day and mileage of 10 cents, in ac-
cordance with the general laws Of Cali
fornia, 1908.
While no new ruling, it is said, has
been made in the matter there are a
number of laws applying to the pay
ment of these fees, and 1t is In order
that the court may feel that he Is act
ing properly that an opinion has been
asked from the district attorney.
Thus far, according to the minutes
of the clerk, there has been paid out
on account of the Ocean Park cases
$3.50 In witness fees, many OF the wit
nesses refusing to make affidavits Of
their expense.

MAY LOAN ROOM

Spanish War Survivors Propose Es.
tabIishing Military Rendezvous
in New Federal Building If
Washington Consents

Spanish-American war veterans are
negotiating with Washington officials
to have a room in the new postoffice
building, now under construction, set
apart as military headquarters.
If the space can be spared 1t is be-
lieved that fo~ time at least the gov
eminent will grant the use of room as
daily meeting place for former SOL
diers and their friends-a place where
patriotism can be fostered and the old
battles fought over again.
Various military relics, works and
publications bearing on war depart
ment topics, government publications of
all kinds and a bulletin board will be
kept there.
Workmen are now setting the struc-
tural steel for the third floor and occu-
pancy of the building is probable late
this year or early next.
