SUES CITY BECAUSE
WATER CUTS LAND
Declares City Changed Channel and
Caused Two Brooks to Sweep
Through His Property, Inc
Iuring 1t Extensively

While many eyes are turned upward to
catch the first glimpse of conditions that
will presage rain, William Cooper OF Pas
adena is complaining because of an over
abundance of water on his ranch In the
Garnsey & Mcfarland subdivision. He is
determined to have 1t remedied, even II
ne has to so to court to do 1t.
From time immemorlal, perhaps CEN
turtles before progress had set its foot on
the worlds garden spot, two streams Of
limpid water had flowed uninterruptedly
from the hills-one passing the southern
boundary of the land which Cooper pur-
chased years ago, and the other passing
directly through it. The streams were
never rampant" and probably would
have continued for years to come to de-
light the ear with thei, babbling muir
murs and fatten the pocketbooks or
ranchers with their powers of irrigation;
hut the municipality stepped in, and where
there were once two harmless brooks
there is now but one large. frisky, CUR
Cling, plunging mass of water, which in
its rush to the Arroyo Seco has, accord
ing to Cooper's complaint which was
filed in the superior court yesterday, torn
his lands and cut the channel to depth
of six feet, while a width of ten feet is
needed to carry it's volume. Rocks and
debris, he says have also been scattered
in lnsightly profusion on the grounds.
Besides asking for $50, 900 damages, Coop
er wants the court to enjoln the city from
maintaining the new channel.
The city, it is said, filled in one OF the
streams some distance above Cooper s
ranch, changing the course of the water
to the second stream causing the volume
of water to be doubled

COUNCIL READY TO CALL
SEALER GRANTS BLUFF
Lawmakers Dealt Literally with New
Official to Insure self-support
for Department-Now
He Resigns

Though Sealer of Weights and Meas
ures Sanford Grant has resigned his Office,
alleging that he had not received the
proper support from the city council, his
resignation may not be accepted by that
body.
It is said certain councilmen object to
this allegation; that. on the contrary, the
council went so far as to give Grant an
assistant, TO give him a chance to show
that the Office would be self-supporting
Chairman Wallace of the finance COM
mittee said recently. when the emergency
appointment for two months was renewed
for Grants assistant, that he hoped that
the renewals would not be continued.
Other councilmen have insisted that the
office was originally created with the ex-
press understanding that it should be
self-suporting. Councilman Yonkin being
one of these.
On the whole, if Grant resigned as a
bluff to get further support, he may find
his hopes dashed to the ground, certain
lawmakers say.

THURSDAY, January %, and Thursday
January 3d. at Simpson auditorium,
Il Los Angeles is to have a chance to
hear Jan Kubelik, the Bohemian violin
list, than whom no greater artist is be-
fore the public today. 1t Is true that his
has been a wonderful career, and the
people at large are inclined to overlook
the sreat art of this genius.
Jan Kubelik has grown in the seven
years that have elapsed since first ne
emulated the example OF the tabled piper
in the Mother Goose rhymes and played
the world Off its feet played jewels and
decorations out of the Golfers of kings
and emperors; played kisses from the
greatest women In the world; played
thousands into an artistic frenzy; played
his own youthful genius into the souls OF
those who may never know genius save
as 1t is whispered into their ears by the
gods of earth.
He has lost some of his boyish rawness
and timidity; he has studiously eliminat-
the eccentric in pose and mannerisms,
but for all that, during the long orches-
trail prelude, you could see the fire burn
ing within him. He swayed lightly on
his feet, toyed nervously with his chin
rest, fingered the strings OF his Stradi-
varius-the gift of an emperor-and
shook his long black locks, very much
as you will see q spirited horse champ
ing when 1t is eager to be off in a race.

| The third declared candidate for po-
litical horors in the coming elec~ion
announced himself yesterday This
was Willie Crawford, whose ambitions
| lie in the direction of the House of
| Representatives. He says that he win
run on the Republican ticket and has
assurances of enough support to land
him on one OF the leather chairs in the
Executive building.
CraWford's announcement while it
! is surprising in its effrontery, was not
altogether unexpected. A short time
! ago he was elected the president of
the Republican precinct club in the
Twelfth of the Fifth, apparently with
out opposition, and he has only lately
ceased to be a member of the county
committee for his party. In the last
campaign he was one of the principal
Brown and Vida workers and had his
working headquarters in the Sheriff
office. Since Browns defeat he has
transferred his beat to the county of
fees and has evinced a great friend
ship for the County Attorney. Breath
ing this air his political ambitions
have sprouted and are on exhibition.
It is stated that Crawford has re-

promises came SO readily that he new

self. 1t is altogether unlikely that he
will get past the announcing stage as
his pane would condemn any ticket.
The two other candidates who have
announced their ambitions are George
F. Davis and Bernard Kelekolio. Both
are canvassing actively and the latter
will start out this week on a tour of
the rural districts, having made ar
rangements to circle the island and
appear upon the stump, talking gen.
orally for the party in the Fifth and
for his own candidacy in Kaneohe
