MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS 3! |
OPPOSES CHARTER
AMENDMENT NO. 8
IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
TO FIGHT PROPOSITION
Members of Hazard Park Organization
Approve Present System of Lay
ing Water Mains and COL
Letting Fees

The Hazard Park improvement asso-
citation has determined to fight charter
amendment No. 8. and sent a reso-
luton to the council yesterday to that
effect.
Charter amendment No. is one
asked for by the water commission and
is in two sections. The first section will
make unpaid water bills a lien against
the property and the second section
will make owners of abutting property
pay for laying water mains.
The property owners who compose
the Hazard Park Improvement associa-
ton have a grievance against the water
department, and particularly Superin-
tendent Mulholland. Most of them live
in the hills back of the Hazard reser-
voir. and declare it is next to impos-
sible to get water at their homes. They
blame Mulholland for this, saying he
cut down the level of the Hazard reser-
voir many feet and reduced the
pressure that had been supplying them
with water.
In the resolution the association says
the present methods of laying mains
and shutting off water, when bills are
not paid. is as good as any, and that
the water system would be all right 1t
it was handled competently.
The last paragraph declares what the
city needs is not a charter amendment
but a new water superintendent.

MARKHAM GUILTY
OF MANSLAUGHTER
JURY C0NVICTS MAN WHO
SLEW HIS BROTHER
Judge Wilbur Holds That Drunken
ness Is No Defense-Rules
Prisoner Must Be Held
Accountable

That drunkenness is no defense to
the crime of manslaughter is the
opinion of Judge Wilbur, expressed
while instructing the jury in the case
of Fred Markham, charged with killing
his brother Charles Markham, at San
Fernando September 10 and found
guilty of manslaughter by the jury last
night. 1t was claimed by Markham
that he was drunk and that he had no
recollection of the circumstances sur
rounding the crime
In addition to the instructions fur
nished by either side to be read to the
jury, Judge Wilbur himself prepared a
somewhat lengthy statement. Drunk
enness," he said, sis no defense to the
crime of manslaughter, and If you are
satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt
that the defendant killed Charles Mark
ham, not in self-defense or by accident,
you should find him guilty of man
slaughter, notwithstanding the defense
of voluntary intoxication; that is to
say if you find the defendant, while
sane, voluntarily partook of intoXicat-
ing liquors he cannot avoid the canse-
quences of his acts while under the in
fluence of such intoXicantS, no matter
what effect such liquor may have had
on his mind. If the result was that he
was dazed or irrational or that he was
unconscious of what he was doing he
is nevertheless responsible for his acts"
Most of yesterdays session was given
up to argument, and the jury retired
to deliberate at $3.50 o'clock. Three
hours and a half later the jury re-
turned a verdict of manslaughter and
recommended leniency. Sentence will
be pronounced Friday at 10 o'clock.

SAYS MACHINE WAS ONLY
USELESS HORN AND JUNK
Attorney Earl Rogers Speaks in Dis
. tresslngly Disparaging Terms of
Automobile Acquired by
His Wife

After listening to testimony in behalf
of Mrs. Belle Green Rogers, wife of At
torney Earl Rogers, in a suit for re-
session of a contract for an exchange
of automobiles, Judge Oster, sitting for
Judge Hutton, denied a motion for
nonsuit and the defense will introduce
it's testimony today.
The defendants are r. C. McClay and
C. j. Black, who, according to Mrs.
Rogers, misrepresented the condition of
a 30-horse power Pierce automobile
which was given her in exchange for a
45-horse power Pierce and $3.50 in
money. Attorney Rogers said the ma
chine was equipped with a good horn,
which was a superiority, as the iron
parts of the vehicle ratified so audibly
that the noise could be heard for blocks.
The automobile, he said, broke down
and endangered the lives of its occu-
pants, and altogether its only value lay
in the horn and the worth of it's iron
parts as junk.
A number of machinists and others
familiar with the mechanism of auto
mobiles were called as witnesses, and
the long table in front of the judges
desk was strewn with pieces of ma
chinery.

SHOWS COMMERCIAL
VALUE OF BALLOONS
Captain Mueller Believes This Should
Be Great Aerial Center-Beau-
tifui Journey Across
Valleys

IF the people of Los Angeles realized
the commercial benefits of balloOning
there would be fifty balloons owned
here asserts Captain Augusta Muel-
Ter. who is greatly impressed with the
possibilities of using the balloon to
conquer the desert. While on his way
to the railroad with the United
States" Captain Mueller passed an
eight-ton boiler which had slipped off
the grade. To get 1t back construction
of a special road was necessary, to-
gether with two months of work. Cap
tain Mueller assured the man in charge
that with two bags like the Omitted
the boiler and tow it into place in two
days.
1T is a fact" said Mueller yesterday.
II could do it even if 1 had to make
lime gas on the desert. Then to map
out that country, especially for rail-
road construction, the balloon and the
camera could do wonderful work, COW
ering in one picture a stretch of 800
miles. Most people think ballooning
is but sport, yet l know it can be used
commercially.
even as a sport some time you win
see a great many balloons in Los An
geles. 1t is certain there are enough
currents here to make trips of pleasure
in any direction one wants 1 could go
TO san Francisco or to Yuma or down
to the Salton sea. But when someone
finds out what a beautiful trip it is
over Los Angeles or to the San Gabriel
valley, that will become a rage. 1t is
beautiful panorama.

BULLETIN LIBEL
SUIT DISMISSED
ACTION BARRED BY STATUTE
OF LIMITATIONS
Long Drawn Out Prosecution Insti-
tuted by Luther Brown Against
Editor and Manager Finally
Breaks Down

Luther Browns famous libel suit
against Fremont Older and r. A.
Crothers, editor and manager, respec-
lively, of the San Francisco Bulletin,
came to naught yesterday, when on
application of the district attorney the
complaint was dismissed.
The charge against Older and Croth-
ers was based on an article in the
Bulletin of September % last year, in
which it was stated that Brown was
discovered in a compromising position
in a San Francisco rooming house,
having been followed there by a de-
tective after visits to Toms cabin, the
Poodle Dog inn and other places.
CrotherS, as manager of the paper
was made a technical defendant with
Older, and the efforts of officers to
effect an arrest were concentrated on
the editor. He was taken by Con-
sta bes Cohn and Cochran of Los An
geles late in September placed aboard
a train and hurried toward Los An
geles.
When the party reached Santa Bar
bara the officers were stopped by d
writ of habeas corpus issued by the
superior court of that county and
Older was released on bail. The case
went to the superior court of San
Francisco on a writ of prohibition, in
an effort to prevent Justice Summer
neld from conducting lne preliminary
hearing. This writ was denied. and
then followed series of continuances,
the first hearing being set for October
II. The case was continued twelve
times, yesterday being the last day set.
Attorneys for Older commended that
the offense with which Older was
charged was a misdemeanor and
therefore should be taken to the police
court As the statute of limitations
applies after one year in misdemeanor
cases, they claimed the complaint
should be dismissed This view was
taken by the district attorneys office.
After the complaint against Older
was filed it was discovered that Luther
Brown was not the person discovered
in the rooming house, and a retraction
was printed by the Bulletin.

ALLOWS CARLSON TO
OBSTRUCT EVIDENCE
COURT REFUSES TO ADMIT
BANK ENTRIES
Books of Canada Institution Said to
Contain Proof of Draft Given
Former Banker-Receipt
Is Here

After many hours of argument, which
was begun Friday, attorneys repre-
senting w. II. Carlson, the banker,
under examination at Police Justice
Selphs court on a charge of embezzling
$4,000 from the Consolidated bank, sue
ceeded in keeping out of the evidence
copies of entries in the books of the
Royal Bank of Canada yesterday.
These entries, it is said, refer to a
draft which later was given to Carlson
on his last visit to New York. The
prosecution, however, was successful i'll
revealing this fact and viii, it is eX-
pected, endeavor to place the receipt in
evidence today
Raymond e. Jones. employed by ain
eastern bank, who was brought to Los
Angeles by the district attorneys office
for the purpose of testifying in this
case, concluded his testimony yester-
day, so far as direct examination by
the prosecution is concerned. Carlson's
attorneys, however. stated they might
cross examine him today. The hearing
will be resumed at 10 o'clock.

METCALF PREDICTS GREAT
DEVELOPMENT IN AlRSHIPS
Former Secretary Says Aeronautics
viii Be Important Factor in War;
fare = Air Navigation in
Its Infancy

Victor H. Metcalf, former secretary
OF the navy, who has been watching
closely the progress of aerial naviga-
tton, prophesied yesterday the develop
ment of the airship will play an i'm
portant part in methods of warfare in
the future
Mr.. Metcalf said he had witnessed
the flights made by Wilbur Wrights
aeroplane and believes the navigation
of the air has been accomplished,
without dispute Even with it's pres
ont engines, he said yesterday, the
Wright machine can make 200 miles
at a fight and be kept under perfect
control.
All that now remains, said the FOR
mer secretary, is the working out of
details. as the basic problems of aerial
flight have been solved.
The same development in aerial nav
igation that has been witnessed in
in the past thirty years, he
predicts, will be realized, and with
greater facility, because the work Is
not confined to a few, but is the sub
ject of experiments in every country
of the world
81 am anxious" said Mr.. Metcalf,
ito have one of the Wright aerop'anes
brought to California and given trial
in the broad stretches of the San Joa-
quin valley, where its possibilities can
be safely tested"

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICIAL
SILENTLY REBUKES CITY
Council Permits Private Concern to
Collect Dead Animals for Sum
One-Haf of Profits Made
by Inspector

D. K. Edwards. chief inspector of
public works, who is proud of the rec
ord he has made in the disposal OF
dead animals since last April, when he
began handling this work for the oity's
sanitary welfare submitted report TO
the council yesterday on animal col
lection.
His figures show 24SS dead animals
were collected and incinerated in the
last eight months. For collecting these
carcasses fees to the amount of S2S77
were received. The cost for collecting
and incinerating amounted to $l1O4
leaving a net gain of $1175 for the city
This report is a silent rebuke to the
city council by Mr.. Edwards for its
recent action in awarding a contract
to the United Phosphate company to
collect dead animals, for which the
company is to pay the city a monthly
bonus Of $50. From this company the
city will receive only $500 in eight
months, while under Mr.. Edwards
management the gain to the city has
been nearly twice that amount

SUNSET BOULEVARD
WILL BE IMPROVED
PROTESTS AGAINST PAVING
PROVE FUTILE
Board of Public Works to Advertise
for Blds-AsphaIt Will Be Laid
if Courts Don't Inter-
fere

With the last difficulty confronting
the Improvement of Sunset boulevard
settled by the council yesterday, the
board of public works is in a position
to advertise for bids and the pave
ment will be laid unless some dis
gruntled property owners fulfill their
threats to carry the matter into the
courts.
Property owners in the assessment
district who appeared before the coun-
ell yesterday to protest against the
work being done and, if done, against
the extent of the assessment district,
formed the largest crowd that has
been in the council chamber since the
memorable days of the free speech cru
SADIE: but they did not get what they
sought
Although the council chamber was
crowded with protestants, the councils
action in denying the protests had the
approval of the majority, for, while the
protestants represented $4,000 feet Of
frontage. there are $780, 900 feet in the
assessment district.
Most of those who demonstrated were
small property owners, and some of
them told pitiful tales. They declared
if they were assessed as heavily for
the pavement as they were for the
grading and graveling of Sunset boule-
ward about four years ago. their prop
erty would have to be contiscated 10
pay the assessments.
Some of them felt relieved when f.
J. Palomares, assessment clerk, told
them the total cost of the improve
ment will not exceed 100000, and to
those living several blocks from the
Improvement itself, the assessment will
be only a dollar or two on each lot.
