STOCKHOLDERS PUZZLED
BY WATER SUIT DECISIONS
Recent Ruling of Supreme Court Said
to Sustain That Rendered Months
Ago by Superior
Judges

Two reported decisions of the state
supreme court, both sustaining those
of the lower court on water rights suits.
are puzzling those interested in the sub
jects. 1t is thought that while in one
case the statute of limitations applied,
ii did not apply in the other. case, and
hence the apparent confliction of the
decisions.
In the first case, entitled San Fer
nando city VS.. Los Angeles Farming
and Milling company, the supreme court
rules the city has the right to the water
of the Los Angeles river. This affirms
the decision of the lower court. The
milling company endeavored to appro-
pirate water on it's own property in the
valley to it's own use.
In the case of the Verdugo Canyon
Water company VS.. t. Verdugo and
Others the lower court is also sustained
by the supreme court. which rules that
Verdugo and others had a right to use
water from wells they had sunk and
which the water company declared in
terfered with their flow.
L. C. Brand, a stockholder in the
Verdugo Water company. voices the
sentiment of many others when he
states that he intends waiting until the
full text of the supreme courts decision
is on hand before he passes judgment
upon the two apparently conflicting
decisions.

sFErTjS.ATE ON WHO WHO
WILL DEFEND RUEF
EARL ROGERS PAYS FALLEN BOSS
HIGH COMPLIMENT
Local Lawyer Says San Francisco
Attorney Is One of Shrewdest in
State-Hiram johnson in
Los Angeles

Attorneys to defend Abe Ruef when
his trial comes up in San Francisco
will be Frank Murphy, Henry Ach and
some Los Angeles lawyer.
This is the prediction made by Earl
Rogers of Los Angeles, who is well
acquainted with all concerned in the
graft prosecution in the northern city.
yes, l remember Ach,' said Mr..
Rogers. HE is one of the keenest
lawyers in this state. He is very pale,
with a certain nervous manner about
him, and wears a striking style of
overcoat, with great deal of velvet
about it. He is one whose face and
manner instantly attract attention.
But there is a better lawyer than him
self up in Frisco-and that is Abe Ruef
himself. Ruef knows more law than
any lawyer, almost.
II last saw Ach ON the steamer on
my way from San Francisco to Los
Angeles, coming from the city after I
had conducted my last trial there.
remember the attorneys for Ruef then
were Henry Ach, Charles H. Fairall,
F. j. Murphy and Sam M. Shortridge.

ney, after having been employed by
the United Railroads of San Francisco.
former client of Ach, the latter when
he is in Los Angeles looking for an
attorney to defend Ruef might, as a
matter Of polite formality, send me
word"
Local Interest in Case
Considerable local interest centers
about the choice of the Los Angeles
attorney who will become one of the
legal defenders of the former political
power in San Francisco, Abe Ruef.
But as far as can be ascertained it
is certain Ach will be chief counsel in
the case. 1t may be Ruef has so an
gered his former attorneys by having
not informed them of his intention to
plead guilty and gain immunity and
thus allowing the moot" impeachment
of the jury which would never try him
that they do not like to again under
take the work.
Attorney Shortridge almost spent a
come defending his famous client-and
all the time that same client was al
ready sure of IAN immunity BATH
This has been pointed out as a cause
for the attorneys of Ruef retiring in
high dudgeon from the court room at
the former trial.
Hiram Johnson, the associate of
Heney in San Francisco, was seen in
Los Angeles yesterday. The reason of
his visit here is not generally known,
but 1t was looked upon by attorneys
as something significant in the light
of this search for legal talent for the
defense of Abe Ruef.

BIDS FARE WELL TO
MEMBERS OF FLOCK
BENJAMIN FAY MILLS GUEST AT
BANQUET
Members of Los Angeles Fellowship
Pass Resolutions Condemning Con-
ditions at City Jail and Peti-
tioning Improvements

The annual meeting and dinner of
The Los Angeles Fellowship was held
Thursday night in the banquet hall
of the Fraternal Brotherhood. In spite
of the severe storm the spacious ac-
commodations were crowded. The din
ner was furnished under the auspices
of the womans alliance.
Benjamin Fay Mills presided. A new
council and board of trustees were
elected for the ensuing year.
Mr.. Mills title was fixed as Minister
of the Greater Fellowship" Appropri-
ate readings weer given by Mrs. George
A. Dobinson and Mrs. Rule D. Meeke,
and there were two-minute speeches
of a most enthusiastic sort, pledging al
legiance to Mrs. Mills and other min
listers who are to remain in Los An
geles, and wishing Mr.. Mills God
speed in his larger mission.
Attention was called to the condition
of the city Jail, and the following reso-
luton, which was presented by Thomas
K. Kase and seconded by Reynold e
Blight, was passed with great en-
thusiasm:
Whereas, the reports current con-
cerning the condition of our city jail
excite the interest of all compassionate
citizens, therefore be it resolved, that
The Los Angeles fellowship hereby pc
titions the city council and the mayor
to act promptly In relieving these dis
tressing conditions. Second-That we
ask of our city fathers that they take
action of radical and permanent ma
ture in this matter, along the lines
suggested by the successful experience
of the city of Cleveland, as reported
by Senator Frederick Howe in the New
York Outlook for January, 1908. That
city has solved the problem of redeem
ing and thoroughly reforming its weak
or wayward citizens.
The title of the article in the Out
look referred to is "a City in the Life
Saving Business" and describes how
