Given No Actual Powers

Please note again that with respect to
the regulation of these companies in the
Wallace ordinance the commission was
given no actual powers beyond those Of
publicity and recommendation, as, Indeed,
no mere ordinance could give them actual
powers No honest corporation that de-
sres to do right by the people, and no
legislative body that is awake to the Sc
riousness Of its responsibilities, can pos
sbly object to measures that call merely
for investigation, publicity and the offer
ing Of recommendations. Such things can
hurt no one that intends TO do right
1 have dwelt somewhat at length on
what 1 regard as the mistakes and the
unfortunate omissions of this ordinance,
because there are involved in our action
or our failure to act certain profound and
far-reaching Issues. There is no dispOsi-
ton on the part of our citizens to at
tempt reprisals against the public utility
companies, nor to harass them or inter-
fere with their prosperous development.
1t is to our citys credit and advantage
if they succeed, and to our discontinue II
they fail But they are first and last
public service concerns, enjoying the bene-
fit of franchises through our streets and
of other privileges that are granted only
TO corporations Of that character. 1t is
now a we'll established principle that ac-
companylng these rights is a direct re-
sponsibility to the public for an adequate
service of the utility and a compliance
with the terms OF the franchise, which
latter is. in effect, a contract between
the city and the corporations. What
agency is there now in our own city gov
ernment to check up on these utility SER
wants of ours, to note whether they are
fulfilling their contracts and are giving
the people the service to which they are
entitled? We may recognize certain eX-
cellenCes in the present administration of
these companies, but that does not make
it any the less necessary that a proper
business relationship be maintained be-
tween the companies and the city. Ex-
perience has shown that this can be best
accomplished through a municipal utili-
ties commission, accompanied by a law de-
timing their duties. Most of the larger
eastern cities now have such a law, but
we have not. 1t is essential to the pub
lie welfare, however, that such a law
when enacted, should be bona fide and sin
cere, and framed distinctly in the inter-
est of the city and the consumers of the
utilities. A measure such as you have
sent me, from which the most important
features have been trimmed by the rep
reseutatives of the companies. containing
manifest irregularities and faults of ad-
ministration and clogged by an made
quate and badly arranged appropriation,
will not only fail TO benefit the situation,
but is likely to be regarded by the pub
lie an effort on the part of yourselves
and the corporations TO prevent genuine,
effective legislation.
] therefore return to you this ordinance
without my approval.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE ALEXANDER, Mayor.

Haskins Explains

S. NJ. Haskins, attorney for the
Huntington interests, who was men
toned in the veto message, asked the
floor on a question of personal privi-
lege and declared the mayor had been
misinformed. He said that the only
changes he had made in the ordinance
were interlineations making the ordi-
nance apply only to those public utili-
ties over which the councila has the
charter power of rate fixing, and that
he did not cut nor amend the ordi-
nance in any other way. He said that
it was only right that public service
corporations with much capital invest
ed should be consulted when legisla-
ton is pending that concerns them.
The action of the council in passing
this ordinance will have no effect on
the initiative of the Municipal league.
which began the circulation of its
petition yesterday to put its ordinance
on the ballot at the next general cleo
ton. Hundreds of signatures were Sc
cured to this petition yesterday.
1t is probable the mayor will veto
the ordinance passed by the council
yesterday. Wallace said, while lead
ing the contest against it, 'I hone
the mayor does veto this ordinance. -
If he does-and 1t is almost a fore
gone conclusion that he will. as the
measure passed yesterday is only a
little better than the one he vetoed
it is unlikelyH the necessary sever
votes can be found to pass it over
his veto. President Pease is not vel
satisfied, although he voted for it yes
terday, and longer reflection and the
weight of the mayors veto may con.
vince him the ordinance is not &

FIRST WOMAN TO
SERVE AS JUROR
PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED IN
CALIFORNIA
NAME PROBABLY is DRAWN
THROUGH MISTAKE
Court and Lawyers Peruse Statutes,
but Find Nothing to Prevent
GentIer Sex Sitting in
Jury Box

| Mrs. Johanna Engleman of Santa
! Monica, who has the distinction OF
! being the first woman summoned fol
duty as juror in California, took hel
seat in Judge Houser's department ol
/ the superior court yesterday, and while
number of her colleagues on the
| jury panel escaped service for one
cause or another she manifested Z
! determination to do her duty as q
citizen of the United States by an
swering satisfactorily all questions
propounded to her concerning hel
qualifications.
Mrs. Engleman is neither sick, blind
nor deaf. and when questioned as to he1
ownership of property stated her name
appeared several times on the county
assessment roll.
Mrs. Engleman had near calls for
service twice yesterday, on one oc-
casion entering the jury box to try a
civil suit, which was later settled be-
tween the Contending parties, and on
another being summoned with many
of the other talesmen to Judge Davis
criminal court when a shortage of men
was threatened in the trial Of William
H. Carlson.
Damage Suit Compromised
The first case was that of Florence
Martin against the Los Angeles Rail
way company for damages of $4,000 on
account of personal injuries sustained
by the plaintiff when she was thrown
from a car at Third and Spring streets
in May of last year. Mrs. Engleman
responded to her name and took her
seat In the jury box, but before the
Jury was completed the attorneys for
both sides had entered into COM
promise, Miss Martin agreeing to ac-
cept $1,000 if she would consent to a
dismissal of the suit.
No distinction was made between
Mrs. Engleman and other jurors by
Judge Houser, and following her eX-
animation by w. Ona Morton, repre-
senting Miss Martin, the attorney said
he was we'll satisfied with her replies
and he hoped no objection would be
raised by the railways attorney, Nor
man B. Sterry. The compromise was
reached, however, before the time
came for Mrs. Engleman's eXamina-
ton by defendants counsel.
All Codes Searched
There was a hurried perusal of law
books in Judge Davis court when Mrs.
Engleman and her fellow talesnfen
appeared in the criminal court ~
short recess was taken, the court and
several attorneys adjourning to the
Judges chambers. The civil code,
criminal code and every other code
within reach was searched but moth
ing could be found that would disquali-
fly Mrs. Engleman or any other mem
ber of her sex who is a property hold
er, physically sound and without a
prison record.
Mrs. Engleman is the widow Of a
Russian sea captain and a woman of
considerable attainment, her education

of strong personality and high attain

year to take the head of the Biblical
department. DR.. Baer in announcing
that Prof Burt would be the tenn
porary dean and possibly would fill
the position permanently, said: After
very careful consideration and spend
ing much thought on the matter 1
chose Prof. Burt as our dean, and I
believe that he is eminently qualified
to fill the position"
Dean Burt was graduated from Ham

later in the year 1901 was given his
doctors degree by the University Of
