Memory of lsador Melczer Rendered.
 the Tribute of Host of Friends.

Never in this city has the funeral of 1 a young man. congregated a larger assemblage of the friends of both him. self and the bereaved family, than did that of Isadore Melczor, held yester day afternoon at the family residence No. 1O4O North Center street. Nor has there ever been a more impressive eX- pression of kindly regard than was shown in the wealth of floral offer ings, in the large procession that fol- lowed the body to it's final resting place in Evergreen cemetery and in the fraternal ministrations in honor of the dead man in. sympathy with the mourning.
 The body rested in a massive state casket of oak. with rolled gold mount ings and was almist buried with flow CTS. The four sides of the room were banked with floral offerings and spe- cial pieces were sent by many persons individually. by the high school and university fraternities of which Isa- dore was d member. and by the lodges in which his parents, MT. and Mrs. Louis MelcZer, hold membership. As has been heretofore mentioned, the de- ceased was a graduate of the Phoenix high school and Stanford university and has always been popular with his associates.
 The services at the house were those of the Jewish faith and were conduct ed by Selim Nicholson. They included a beautiful solo sung by Harry Well and selections by a quartet composed of Messrs. Veil, Hayt. Robinson and rr- tenstcin. Eight of Isadore's former companions, school, and classmates. performed the office of pail bearer Some had been with him in one school and some in another. and still others were intimate in his business and so- cial relations. Their names are Syl- van Gang, Newton Levy, Leroy Me Carthy. Sidney Goldman, Leon Jacobs. Pud Bennett, Celora Stoddard and Abe Nicholson.
 After the services at the house the flower carriage preceded the cOrtege and in large part the adornment of the funeral room was transferred to the grave which had already been softened in it's suggestiveness. by a covering of greenery.
 F. A. Shaw. a well. known citizen holding intimate frateEnal relations with the father of Isadore. and who has often presided on similar occa- sions, made a short and feeling ad7 dress to the assembled friends. after which the Jewish ceremonies of inter ment were performed.
 The only member of the family ab- sent was Miss Gertrude Melczer, a sister of Isadore. who is attending school in Kenosha, Wis, and who could not get here for the funeral un- less it had been long delayed. Joseph Melczer, of Los Angeles, a brother of Louis Melczer, was present, having ar rived yesterday morning

SOUTHS|DE WINNERS
 OF YESTERDAYS CONTEST
Mesa and Phoenix Play an Exciting
 Game.

The reorganized Mesa team won over the picked team from the City league yesterday afternoon in a very exciting game of baseball at Eastlake park Up to the ninth inning the score stood 5 to 3 in>Mesa's favor, but in that inning the Mesa bows, to be sure of the game started in on Vermullion's curves and batted in four runs. Phoenix tried hard to tie the score but was unable to do much with Williams curves when the necessary hit was needed and lost the game by a score of to 3.
 The attendance was not very large, owing to the bad weather. which not only affected the fans but also the pitchers, four being used, two on each side The Mesa team knocked Quiros out of the box in the fourth inning and HermulliOn who went in to finish the game did very well till the ninth. Gu Der started the game for Mesa and had the same amount of speed as before. He pitched five innings, which resulted in goose eggs for the home boys, they seemingly being unable to connect with him at all. owing to the cold weather he retired in favor of Williams at the
 
 fore be got warmed up the Phoenix team had secured 3 runs off of him. But once working right he had them going and pitched nice ball.
 The grounds were in fair shape and the bows on both sides played some fast, snappy ball and those who came out were well repaid for their trouble.
 The Phoenix team expects to play in Mesa next Sunday and will endeav- or to make it one and one with the boys from the Southside. Tebben and Warner will hereafter be seen in a Mesa uniform and will be the only one outside of Mesa in that team, the rest being regular Mesa boys.
 Power umDired another good game and seems to have made hit with the fans.

FAVORS
EDDY'S INCLINE
BUT MOUNT HOLLYWOOD WORK
MUST BE RUSHED
Cent Fare Provision Before
Granting Consent to
Franchise

Because of the five-c cent fare tempta-
ton the city council yesterday rather
favored the Col. ]. w. Eddy franchise
for a trolley line to Mount Hollywood
and an inclined railway to the peak
a project which has been revived by
e. r. Walker and hollywood delega-
ton asking that they be given a
franchise to build a similar project
from the west eide. Col. Eddy's is on
the east side and calls for flve-cent
fare. The Hollywood ride will cost
ten cents.
Most OF yesterday morning was de-
voted by the council to hearing argu-
ments for and against the plan.
Col. Griffith j. Griffith, who donated
5000 acres of mountain, canyons and
woodland landscape of wondrous
beauty to Los Angeles, favors the
Eddy project because 1t means a five
cent fare to the park and another five
cents to the summit. 1t also will be
more directly accessible to the hum
dreds of thousands of Los Angeles Wis.,
itors. Col. Griffiths consent Is neces-
sary before any line can enter the park
boundaries.
The council, unable to make de-
cision, referred the question to the
city attorney and the park board.
Above anything else, the council
ia -ors quick action and unless Col.
Eddy shows that he can start work
this year the franchise may be sold to
the Hollywood interests.
The plan contemplates pavilion,
observatory and other features ON or
near the top of the mountain, from
which thirty-one cities, ten canyons
and mountain ranges, FIVE valleys and
many other remarkable views can be
had

INSIST ON IMPROVING
NORTH GRAND AVENUE
Property Owners Who Signed Original
Petitions Object to Council
Abandoning Proceed
ings Now

. The effort to abandon the proceedings
for improving Grand avenue from Tenn
pie to California streets brought a re-
mQnstrance from certain property own
ers in the council yesterday.
These original petitioners said they
have been damaged thousands of dol
lars by the uncertainty over pending
street improvements and the subse-
quent plan to stop the project.
They declared that just because a
few owners had been hit hard in the
recent furry 1t was not the proper
thing to cut out improvements merely
because some owners would have
trouble in paying their assessments.
The question was laid over till next

HOW ABOUT
AMERICANS?
ALL WOULD BE SUBJECTS OF
KING ED
CITY JAIL IS TOO FILTHY FOR
BRITIsHER
Governor Gillett Scores Conditions in
Local Prison and Methods of
Officers In Arrestins
the Unemployed

Now that Governor Gillett has par
doned Charles Greenfield. British
subject, who was sentenced to serve
ninety days in the overcrowded city
Jail after being convicted as a vagrant
owing to his inability to secure en-
ployment, other prisoners are likely to
follow the example set by Greenfield
and demand that they be released from
custody upon the same grounds as
Greenfield.
IF the prison is not healthy enough
for an Englishman it surely is not fit
for an American Citizen" said a pris-
oner who claims California as his place
of birth.
Il wish l were subject of the king,
myself" said another. IF the gov
ernor Is going to permit foreigners to
go free and discriminate against us
who are citizens of the United States
think 1t Is time we should take some
action"
The papers ordering the release of
greenfield were received in Los Angeles
Sunday morning and the prisoner was
released the same evening.
Greenfield was arrested because he
was out of work. Charged with being
foSAoht liS was dTTd1BneQ IN the
police court and sentenced to serve
term of ninety days in filthy vermin-
infested, foul-aired hole-the city jail
In his letter ordering the English
mans release Governor Gillett makes
several appropriate remarks regarding
the conditions prevalent at the city
prison and the manner In which men
who are out of work are arrested on
charges of being Migrants simply be-
cause there is no work to be had. AL
though worded in the most formal
manner the official document disap-
proves the method of dealing with men
who are unable to obtain employment
There are many men who are con-
fined in the city Jail at present who
are no more Migrants than is Green
field. These men were the victims of
the industrial depression which has
thrown so many thousands of skilled
and unskilled laborers out of employ
ment
1t is understood that the prisoners
now confined in the city prison are
working on a petition to be forwarded
to the governor, asking him to take
some action in their cases.

Assessed value of investment. 1886, ITO
Assessed value being about so
per cent, would show the to-
tai investment to be twice
this sum, or ..................N,1 71, 710
This does not include the franchise
tex on $1.172,420, nor does it include
the new construction put in since the
first Monday in March, 1907.
Compares with Home
We would like to call your attention
to a comparison with the statement
submitted by the Home Telephone and
Telegraph company. This statement
shows net earning for the year of
$186, 234.09.
To this add the loss claimed by the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, $51, 322.02, which shows a diff
ference between the two companies of
S217,556.11.
We cannot understand why there
should be such a difference between
these two companies, nor are we able
to understand why the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph company claims
to have an investment of $36,OO0,0o0 for
its entire system covering installa-
tons in five different states, should
take Is per cent of this total to arrive
at its investment of $4,680,000 in this
city. Is it's investment in this city
exactly Is per cent of $36,000,000?
Had the Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph company compiled with the re-
quirements of the ordinance and filed
a verified statement giving an item
ICED inventory showing all works, pole
lines, conduits, plant and all other
property, real and personal, owned or
used by such corporation, said state
ment setting forth separately all of
geles, In the county of Los An
aeles outside of the city, and all prop
erty inside of the state of California,
showing the actual cost and the pres
ent cash value of each item thereof,
the question could have been answered
by us.
Summing Up
In conclusion 1 would state that the
telephone company is entitled to rates
that will be sufficient to take proper
care Of all legitimate and reasonable
expenses of operation and maintenance
and also allow a proper sum to be set
aside for such depreciation as is
not covered by maintenance charges,
and also a reasonable percentage Of
profit on invested capital.
The examination, however, has not
sufficiently demonstrated that 13 per
cent of many items of expense, In adj
dition to the actual payroll and mate
rial charges, are properly made against
this branch, nor is it properly demon
strated that 10 per cent of $4,000, 900
is the amount of capital invested in
this city.
In short, the data is insufficient as to
expenses and invested capital.
