STREET SPEAKING TO
REMAIN RESTRICTED
COUNCIL DECLINES TO MAKE
ANY CHANGE
Amendment Allowing Meetings to Be
Held Anywhere Between 7:3o and
8 O'Clock Rejected After
Heated Debate

Councilmna A. ]. Wallace made an
other effort yesterday afternoon to
have the street speaking ordinance
amended so as to permit the Salvation
Army to have half an hour in the
evening to hold it's religious meetings
on the streets in the restricted dis
trict
For half an hour he waged a wordy
war with Councilman Dromgold, who
took the opposite view of the case ana
declared the council would be getting
itself and the city into trouble by
letting down the bars. The amendment
Mr. Wallace proposed was that dur
ing the half hour between 7:3O and
o'clock the streets should be open
to every kind of meeting. He ad-
mitted that no one but the Salvation
Army would be able to take advantage
of this half hour, but argued that be-
cause the provision applied to every
one it could not be construed. as class
legislation.
The mayor had had several council
men by the ear during the morning in
support of this plan and when 1t came
to a vote in the council Wallace, Lyon,
favor, but. as the other members of
the council voted against it, the meas
ure was lost.
As an injunction suit is pending in
the courts to determine the councifs
right TO pass such an ordinance under
any circumstances the majority of the
council prefers to let the case be
fought out in the courts before taking
any action IN the matter.

The men We're arrested in the China
town section and We're placed aboard
the patrol wagon. Another fast call
for the wagon made it necessary for
them to get out and walk. One of the
prisoners was in a surly mood and
was causing the officers trouble. Then
Turner decided to play policeman and
make the unruly one behave.
Although staggering himself he
overlooked his own condition and be-
gan to berate the other for being
drunk you ought to be ashamed

Turner took charge of the other man
and with an officer holding his arm,
marched on to the station. Turner
protested when he was being taken to
the Jail door to be locked up. He de
clared he should be released because
of the assistance he rendered. He was
found back of a saloon with several
laborers. When searched at the sta
tion nearly "a hundred dollars was
found on his person.

GRAND AVENUE OPENING
PROTEST WILL BE HEARD
DIRECTORS DECLARE FRAUD HAS
BEEN AT WORK
Purchaser of Property Said to Have
Been Paid by Referees Double
What 1t Actually Was
Worth

Although the opening of Grand ave-
nue. from Temple to California streets
has been before the city council IN
every conceivable shape during the
last three years the council will again
hear it discussed November II. Ihe
matter now engaging the attention OF
the council is a petition from the pro-
testants asking that all proceedings
be abandoned The petitioners who
favor the Improvement declare 1t VIII
take a week or longer to present al
the evidence in the case to the council.
The chief ground for protest, accord
ing to declarations made to the coun-
ell Yesterday, is the allegation that Z.
n. Eicholz purchased from j. D. B1ck-
nell a strip of land along the line OF
the proposed improvement after pro
ceedings were begun and paid $2O,Ooo
for the property. In condemnlng a
portion of this property for the street
opening the board of referees allowed
MIR. EichoIz $34O 900, $4,000 more than
he originally paid for the property,
and still left him enough land that
at the same ratio would be worth
about S25.OOO. The contention of the
protestants is that by fraud the value
of Mr.. Ficholz' property was fixed at
about $4,000 whereas its real value
is only half that amount.
M. X, Young, attorney for the pro-
testants, declared he would introduce
evidence to support this contention OF
fraud when the case came up 1or near
ing before the council.

CLERK TESTlFiES AS TO
MRS. FINN'S CONDITION
Makes Deposition to the Effect That
She Purchased Promo Settler
in Large Quantities for
Headaches

The deposition of c. o. Jaeger, a
drug clerk. was taken in the matron's
room at the county Jail yes
terday in the case of Mrs Margaret
Finn. charged with the murder of j..
e. Mahaffey at Seventh and Broadway
July 3. The main purport was to show
that he believed the accused woman
to have been insane when the shot
was fired.
Jaeger says ne was employed in the
drug store at Seventh and Broadway
before and after the murder, and
claims that Mrs. Finn had purchased
bromo settler in large quantities for
severe headaches. Directly after the
shooting she was taken into the store
and seemed Indifferent to her sur
roundngs, but frightened up percep-
tibly when given some of the drug.
The deposition was to have been taken
in Judge Chambers court, but Mrs.
Finn's condition would not permit this
and it was found necessary to hold
it in the matron's ward, with the
judge and the attorneys as the only
spectators.

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS! Il
PENNY-IN-THE-SLOT
FOUNTAINS ALLOWED
ICE WATER TO BE SUPPLIED
ON PUBLIC STREETS
Ordinance Conferring Privilege on r
A. McCracken Adopted After
Lively Contest, Councilman
Changing His Vote

After one of the closest contests that
has engaged the council i'm many
months the ordinance permitting the
establishment of the penny-in- -the-slot
ice water fountains on the public
streets was passed yesterday after
noon.
The ordinance was adopted under
suspension of the rules which required
six votes to carry the measure. 1t
works may grant permits to r. A. Nc
Cracker to install drinking water
fountains at places to be indicated by
the board. and attaches stringent sani-
tary measures SO that no waste water
will accumulate in the streets
AS the matter had been before the
council several months and no pro-
test had been made, no particularly
valid reason appeared yesterday for
opposing its passage. But Healy,
Lyon and Clampitt did not need valid
reasons. They were opposed to it, any,
how Healy and Lyon were very en-
phatic about it and Clampitt voted
with them. These three voted early in
the roll call, and, with these three
against it, every other vote in the
council was needed to carry it. When
Wrens name was reached he hesitated
and then voted no"
Before the chair had announced the
vote, and when it vas known the or
dinance would be lost if the vote re-
mained as it was. Wren took five full
minutes to deliberate and then changed
his vote to AYE.
That carried the ordinance. 1t will
be published Wednesday morning and
thirty days after the board will have
the power to issue to Mr.. NRCracken
permits to install the drinking foun-
tains.
These fountains Will be sanitary in
every way. A penny dropped in a slot
gives a full class of ice water, and
before the glass can be used again
it is thoroughly rinsed by an automatic
process. basin at the foot provides
drink for dogs ard other small ami
mails. These fountains connect with
the sewers and no slop will be per-
mitted If the rigid sanitary condi-
tions of the ordinance are not complied
with the permits will be revoked.

ASK THAT RAILWAY COMPANY
BE FORCED TO PAVE STREE

Samuel Young. president of the Uni
versity Improvement association, with
a committee from that organization
appeared before the council yesterday
and asked that body to take steps TO
compel the street railway company TO
nave between its tracks on Vermont
avenue from Nasnington to Santa
Monica.
Mr.. Young represented that the pave
ment on Vermont avenue had been laid
at an expense of about 100000, but
that the recent rains had soakeu under
the pavement between the street car
tracks. which have not been paved
and plainly showed that great damage
would be done if the company did not
Law its portion of the pavement before
the winter rains.
The council was in doubt as to its
power i'm the matter and referred ii TO
the city attorney for an opinion.

AOUEDUCT FORCE
BREAKS RECORD
GREAT SHOWING MADE ON
TUNNEL
General Chaffee and Engineer Mulhol-
land Return with a Glowing
Account of Progress
Made

Worlds records in regard to owens
river matters have been growing so
common that the only time city oih-
cials in touch with the work are sur
prised is when some worlds record IS
not smashed, but the latest record Is
one in which they all take speclai
pride. This is the boring of the Eliza
beth lake tunnel the point where 1t Is
expected TO develop the greatest
amount of power from the owens river
water.
Gen. A. r. Chaffee and Engineer
William Mulholland have returned
from an inspection trip to Elizabetn
lake and other points and report thaI
in the last sixteen days 160 feet OF
tunnel have been drilled. over $500
feet of this tunnel. one of the hardest
engineering problems In the entire con-
struction, has been completed. rms
is about one-fifth of the entire length
of the proposed tunnel and has been
done in much less time than was al
lotted by the engineers. Not only IS
the time we'll under the limit, but the
cost so far has been about half the
estimate. The engineers figure it
would cost $75 a foot to drill the tun-
mel. The work has been done at an
average of less than $34 a foot.
The rapid work of construction is
largely attributed to the bonus system
in vogue in the construction of this
and other sections of the great con-
duit. The engineers lay out what they
consider a days work and for all over
that amount the men are paid hand
some bonus
This arouses their enthusiasm and is
considered one of the important factors
in breaking worlds records in con-
Struction.

SAY LICENSE ORDINANCE
is HIGHLY OBJECTIONABLE
Measure Regulating Bill Posting Re-
committed to City Attorney on
Protest of Theatrical
Managers

on the protest of the Theatrical
Managers association, presented by
Charles Eyton of the Burbank theater
the license ordinance regulating bill
posting was recommittted to the city
attorney, with Councilmen Wren and
DrOmgold} as a special committee of
the council.
The theatrical managers protest
against the clause of the ordinance
that compels them to take out a IL
cense to post their own bills. 1t also
prohibits any business man from post
ing his own bills on bill boards or
walls, or from taclking up signs, with
out paying a license fee of 81 a day
for every day he is actually doing
the work.
Billboard Inspector Allen is very
much in favor of the ordinance, de-
claring the city has collected $100 more
during the operation of the ordinance,
which has been about two weeks, than
it did before.

TO CONFER WITH PIONEERS
AS TO oLD-TIME CEMETERY

Representatives of the Pioneer So
ciety appeared before the council yes
terday to plead with that body to do
something for the preservation of the
of the Mexican war and some of the
early pioneers are buried. They de-
clare that one of the famous land
marks of Southern California is fall
ing rapidly into disrepair through lack
of any action by the city to preserve it..
President Pease appointed Council
men Dromgold, Clampitt and Blanch-
ard a special committee to meet with
the Pioneer society and see what could
be done.
