Capt. D. Powell filed with the city
council yesterday a demand for $500

damages as a result of an accidental
fall on December Is at the southeast
corner of Third and Hill streets.
Capt. Powell is a resident of Los
Angeles, so years old, who says he was
in good health until the mishap.
To avoid the congestion of persons at
that corner in the noon hour, while
trying to get out of the way of a street
car, Powell stepped on some asphalt
debris caused by torn up pavement
stumbled and fell against the curb, his
head striking the stone, thereby being
rendered unconscious.
He was removed to the receiving hos
rital and later to the California hos
pital, where for twenty-nine days he
lay unconscious.
January 16 he was removed to the
Masonic home at East San Gabriel
where he is yet under treatment and
care, with a prospect of early recovery

1t was the final chapter, the epitome

started to write more. but his hand
failed him, and he quaffed the poison.
Yesterday morning, when he did not

ing the verdict of the coroner's jury
into the cause of the street car COLI
sion on the Brooklyn avenue line at
Macy street, in which the conductor of
the car was killed.
The complaints were made on the
charge that the railroad officials have
violated city ordinance, which pro-
vides that the safety gates at this
crossing shall be lowered on the APP
proach of every train or engine.
These gates, according to facts de-
veloped by the investigation. were
operated only I'm the daytime.
At the time of the recent fatal COLI
sion, 1t is alleged, the gates were raised
and locked.
The ordinance providing for the opera
ton of the gates at the Macy street
crossing was approved by Mayor
Snyder in January, 1904, and is No.
Oils. After the accident recently the
company placed flagman at the cross
ing day and night.
The ordinance under which 1t is hoped
to secure a conviction provides that

mated shall constitute q separate Of

upon the councilmen by members OF

TRY TO QUASI
INDICTMENTS
HEARING is SET FOR NEXT
THURSDAY
OCEAN PARK FIGHT REACHES
SUPERIOR COURT
Claims Made That Grand Jury's Work
Was Irregular by Men Charged
with illegal Regis
tratlon


Twenty-Five motions to quash the
same number of indictments returned
by the grand jury during the past
month or more charging registration
frauds in the Ocean Park dislncorpora-
ton election were filed in the superior
court yesterday.
The hearing of these motions was set
for February 10 and the defendants
were ordered to be present at that
time.
The members of the grand jury have
been subpoenaed and will also be in
court
The attorneys representing the men
under Indictment are Anderson & An
derson. Mott & Dillon, O'Melveny, Ste
vens & Milliken and Edwin A. Me-
serve, and they recite seven grounds
on which to base their requests to set
aside the indictments.
These include the charge that the in
dictments were not found, Endorsed or
presented by the penal code of Caiifor-
MA that the names of all witnesses
examined are not written on the indict-
ments; that persons were permitted to
be present during the sessions of the
grand jury other than those permitted
by law; that there existed a state of
mind among the jurors in reference to
the case which would prevent them
from acting impartially; that the in
dictments were not signed by the dis
trict attorney or by a deputy district
attorney, but were signed by a person
claiming to be a deputy district attor-
ney but was not; that person claim
ing to hold such an official position was
present during the sessions, not to give
information or question witnesses, but
for the purpose of taking notes of the
testimony to assist the district attor-
ney during the trial of the cases, and
that the jury was not sworn or impan-
eled in the manner provided by law.
Question Authority
The person to whom reference is
made as not being~a deputy district
attorney is G. Ray Horton, who aided
in the investigation of the alleged
fraudulent registrations. The question
of the regularity of his appointment, it
is believed, arises from the fact that
the words deputy district attorney"
are abbreviated in the book which con-
tains his sworn statement made at the
time of his appointment, the law pre-
scribing that the title shall be written
in full.
1t was stated yesterday that the law
provides where stenographic notes of
are taken down a copy must be given
the defendant of the Transcribed notes,
but that the question of whether notes,
elaborate or otherwise, made by the
district attorney shall be furnished the
men indicted is left open.
In other words, according to the be-
lief of the district attorney, the de-
PENDANTS are entitled to whatever a
stenographic reporter may take, and
that only.

TALKS TO PUPILS ON
POLITICAL SITUATION
Attorney Who Aided Governor Folk in
the Missouri Graft Campaign
dresses Students at ocei-
dental College

Frank G. Tyrrell, formerly a constitu-
ent of Governor Folk in his Missouri
graft campaign. but now a resident of
Los Angeles, addressed the students of
Occidental college at the noon chapel
services yesterday.
In a summary of the political situa-
ton of the country Mr.. Tyrrell said in
brief:
"Society, business and the home have
detracted the present day American
from thoughts of his country, but the
present demands Of the state demand
attention above every other interest
of Americans, and especially the young
men who are now cultivating their
knowledge and understanding in col
lege and business.
Personal gain and glory should be
the farthest from the young mans
thoughts in this age, and the funda-
mental lesson to be learned by the COM
ing generation of today is the lesson OF
self-sacrifice for the common good OF
the nation. Fortunately" continued
Mr.. Tyrrell. "the American youth has
the independent personality which de-
mands recognition that is best illus
trated by a well known story 1 once
heard:
"A British nobleman once accosted Q
red haired youth on the streets of an
eastern city for the loan of a match
When he had lit his cigar and was con-
tentedly putting away, he said: I am
inconspicuous in this country. but, dc
you know, in England I am Sir
knight of the Garter knight of the
bath, knight of the Cross, knight Of
the Round Table, and who, may I ask
are your The Yankee lad, who still
possessed some of his innate Err
repartee, answered: Tonight, last night
and the night before ] was and always
will be Patrick O'Connell, SIR"
Continuing. Mr. Tyrreli said: 81 have
received repeated calls from San Diego
to address the people of that city upor
the issues of today, and while I car
hardly see how / can spare the time Il
go, on the other hand, I can scarcely
afford to stay away. considering tbs
crying need of the state for enlight.
eminent after being forced to literally
lick the spittle of corporate greed ant
power"
In conclusion the speaker said eve
have the country that will eventually
lead the nations to the dawn of tht
millennium. The time may be long anC
the process tedious, but the result Il
inevitable"
