FOUL AIR OF CITY JAIL
MAY END IN BOYS DEATH
Youth Succumbs to Sleeping on the
Cement Floor and Sinks Under
High Fever as Result of Over
crowded Condition

After serving eighty-three days in the
overcrowded and insanitary city Jail.
Will Williams, aged IS, serving a sem
terce of 12O days for petty larceny, was
taken to the county hospital yesterday
morning delirious with fever which will
probably develop into consumption.
Having passed three months in the
lower tanks, Williams was placed in the
upper tanks, where nearly hundred
prisoners were confined.
On account of the congested condition II
was impossible for him to have a bed,
but was compelled to sleep on the koor
in narrow space where, all he had for
a bed was a thin blanket.
The foul air of the place had its effect
on him and he developed a cough and
began to get weaker each day until Tues
day morning, when he was barely able
to get up and eat his morning meal OF
coffee and bread.
When his breakfast was finished he
lay down again and by night had high
fever.
Yesterday morning the inmates Of the
told the assistant TALLER. He summoned
Jailer McCaulley, who ordered Williams
taken to the county hospital, where he
will receive every attention in hopes that
his life will be saved.
On account of the increased work i'm
posed on the jailer because of the large
number of prisoners confined in the city
JAIN, the condition of Williams was I'M
known to Jailer McCaulley until yester-
day morning.

through the Owens river valley" and
the section south thereof.
In response will say that no notice
was given to any official of the aque-
duct bureau or of the city of Los An
geles that such application had been
made or that the same has been
granted and no consent has been
given by the aqueduct bureau or by
the city of Los Angeles or any official
to the approval of said application.
"Not Taken Seriously"
Referring to the suggestion con-
tanned in your letter that the effect
of the suspension of your application
for right of way was to leave the field
clear for the Southern Pacific In bid
ding for the transportation of ma
terial along the aqueduct line. we will
say that we have never understood,
nor do we now know 1t to be fact,
that your company ever proposed to
build line from Mojave.
AS all the cement for the aqueduct.
which constitutes nine-tenths of the
freight, will be delivered at Mojave,
a road from that point north is
necessity. In addition, will say that
no one connected with your company
has ever shown any interest whatever
in the question of transporting ma
terial from Mojave north.
Copies of the proposed specifications
for the transporting of material were
sent to your company, as well as to
the Santa Fe, Salt Lake and Southern
Pacific over a month before the same
were adopted by the board; and as no
action was taken by members of your
company with reference to the mat
ter we cannot believe that the init
nation contained in your letter that
had your application for right of way
for railway been approved you would
have been a bidder for the transport
tation of material along the aque-
duct line is to be taken seriously
City Not Opposed
There has never been at any time
any opposition on the part of the city
of Los Angeles to the plan of your
company for building line into
Owens valley.
As indicating the attitude of the
city toward your railroad. during May
of last year the Washington represen-
tative of the city was instructed to
file consent of the city to the appli-
cation of your company for right of
way for three pipe lines in townships
10. q and %, range 81, along the line
of the aqueduct. as in the opinion of
the engineer such applications did not
interfere with the city's plans, and
such instruction was complied with.
In response to your inquiry as to
why the ruling of the honorable sec
rotary of the interior was procured
which suspends all applications in the
Owens river valley that conflict with
the city's interests, will state we were
merely invoking the application of the
general policy of the United States
government to protect the natural re-
sources under the control of its de-
partments for the general public
benefit and to prevent monopolization
thereof by private interests.
We also intended by our letter To
the secretary of the interior to OBJ
tain the benefits of the declared policv
and intention of such government tn
assist this city in all legal ways TO
consummate the great public work of
bringing Owens river water to this
city and to protect the city against
the delays and expenses incident N
attempts on the part of private mar
ties to obtain rights hostile to its
plans.
