 WITH ELECTIONS

TTCSON. July 3l.-lnformation Of
 -,s,,,l interest, and that which is like l.. ,o eanse unprecedented comment and
 sir in political ranks of this terri ...,. WAS given out yesterday by At ,.,oev General John B. Wright, in which he pronounced the primary elee- ,on law enacted by the last territorial osssmbly as invalid, because of it's ambiguity and uncertainty.
 The attorney general has been en. roced during the past few days in orenaration of the forms neeessitated br inc primary election law, and, to rse the slang expression, was himself uu, in inc air" as to the construction of this work of the legislature. The law. Mr. Wright says, is in such a .baoo as to cause speculation as to ,be validity of many of its phases, anal is calculated to cause trouble at election time.
 The enactment, it is said, is re- construction of primary laws of various states compelling the presentation of a petition by each nominee, signed by a prescribed number of names, so many days before the primary.
 According to Mir. Wright, it will give grounds for contests of elections held by virtue of its construction, and will be the cause of trouble and delay in coming elections According to his statement, office seekers cannot lose any time in preparing for coming elec. tons. He does not hesitate to pro nounce it invalid, and in his opinion inc courts will so hold. should it ever come before them for judicial construc- ton.
 In discussing the new primary elec- ton law with newspaper representa- tive, Mr. Wright said: "The city of Tucson is 10 have an election next De cember. The politicians should begin now to study the law referred to, be- cause if its intricate machinery is not set in motion within the next few weeks, such city election will be in- validated, providing, of course, that the primary law is upheld"
 NIT. Wright freely predicts that the courts will be called upon to decide the validity of the enactment, and there is likely to he something do- ing" in political affairs of the territory as a result

astic Over Work

IF the city Of Los Angeles was Of
fered a hundred millions of dollars for
the bargain we got in owens river val
ley we would be foolish 10 take it," was
the enthusiastic exclamation of DR.. L.
M. Powers, city health officer who re-
turned yesterday from trip of inspec-
ton along the line of the aqueduct.
The special virtue in this remark Is
that DR.. Powers is very little given to
extravagant statements, and anything
he enthuses over must be well worth
while.
The trip of the health officer was the
first official inspection from a sanitary
viewpoint that has ever been made of
the aqueduct camps. DR.. Powers re-
ported that the allegation that the
camps were not sanitary was untrue
He found everything in good shape,
from a sanitary standpoint.

A dirt eating machine, the invention
of Chief Engineer Mulholland, was one
of the objects that attracted DR.
Powers attention. This machine has
never before been exploited. DR.
Powers believes it is one of the best
mechanical contrivances in use on the
aqueduct. It is a mechanism with q

Municipal Affairs
REACH AGREEMENT ON
HILL STREET TRACKS
ENGINEERS OF CITY AND RAIL
WAY COMPROMISE
Los AngeIes-Paclflc Finds 1t Can Do
Most Things Demanded by
Board of Public
Works

The engineers for the Los Angeles
Pacific and City Engineer Hamlin have
reached a compromise on the work on
Hill street between Third and First
streets, and the board Of public works
will approve the agreement if the city
attorney finds it can be done legally.
The matter will be finally decided this
morning.
The contour Of Hill street between
Third and First streets is on a steep
slope. The railway has been laying
new rails in this street and laid the
rails on a level with the highest point
of its right OF way, making the tracks
on the east side several inches above
the street grade and forming a condi-
ton that the board of public works
considers menace to traffic. The rail-
way was ordered to discontinue work
until it was ready to build in accord
ance with the grade points given by
the city engineer.
To these points the engineers for the
railway objected, declaring it would
make their cars run on a slant. By
the compromise effected yesterday the
tracks on the east side are to be low
cred slightly and the pavement laid in
such a way that it will be even with
the edges of the rails. This will make
little bumps in the pavement on the
cross section, but they will be so slight
as to be scarcely preceptible.

CITY OFFICIALS SEE
NEW PROCESS ROADS
PLEASED WITH OILED MACAD'
AM IN PASADENA
Laid in First Ward Superior
to vaunted European
Surfaces

Councilman Dromgold, w. NJ. Hum
phreys, chief of public works, and his
chief deputy, w. C. Laws, with an ex-
pert, went to Pasadena In an automo-
bile yesterday morning and examined
the oiled macadam paVements that
have been laid in that city. This is the
process City Engineer Hamlin has in
troduced into street improvements In
Los Angeles, and the members of the
investigating party were well pleased
with the Pasadena streets.
1T is impossible to tell these oiled
macadam streets from asphalt" said
Mr.. Dromgold. I'VE were forced to get
out of the auto twice to examine the
streets carefully in order to tell just
where the asphalt ended and the
macadam began. When oiled macadam
is generally used we will have even
finer streets and roads than they have
in Europe. The European macadam is
made with water, while oil is used in
this new process"
Oiled macadam will be the surface
used in paving the streets in the First
ward. A large district is to be paved
in that section of the city under one
proceeding, and the ordinance of inten-
ton for the work has already been
passed. 1t will be one of the largest
street improvements ever made in Los
Angeles.
One feature of the oiled macadam
that recommends itself to property
owners who have to pay the. bill is that
1t is much cheaper than asphalt or any
other surface except the unsatisfactory
gravel and oil.
The city attorney has been asked Ia
prepare an ordinance in conformity
with the new charter amendment COM
pelling all public service corporations
to lay their pipes, conduits and wires
before streets are paved. 1t is expect
ed the city attorney will have this or
dinance ready for the council at its
meeting next Tuesday.

ATTORNEY ON TRIAL
FOR ALLEGED FORGERY
ACCUSED OF SECURING LEASE
BY FRAUD
Defendant Declares His Only KnowI-
edge of Matter Is That He
Acted as Notary in At
testing Signature

The preliminary examination OF
Charles M. Alderman, an attorney
charged by C. r. Smead, executor of
the estate of the late John j. Charnock,
with forgery, was begun in Justice
Ling's court yesterday. Involved in
the case is a lease alleged to have been
forged to property in the La Ballona
ranch. valued at $125,OO0, the lessee
being Gertrude briggs, whose trial on
charge of filing the forged instru-
ment for record is pending in the SUI
perior court.
Alderman denies all knowledge of the
alleged forgery of Charnock's name to
the lease, claiming that as notary he
merely took the old mans acknowl-
edgment to the signature.
Charnock died at Palms March 20
leaving an estate approximately valued
AT S225 600. Two days later the alleged
forged lease, bearing date of March g.,
was filed in the recorders office.
Smead, i'm addition to claiming that the
signature on the lease is a forgery,
bases his denial of its genuineness on
the fact that a grant deed to the same
property described in the instrument
was given by Charnock to his niece,
Lillian Charnock Price, in February a
month before the purported lease was
made.
Furthermore, he testified, Acker-
mans statement that he visited Char
mock March and took his acknowl-
edgment on that day is false, stating
that he himself saw Alderman at
Palms ten days later and that the at
torney inquired of him where Char
mock lived.
Cashier Says Forgery
e. e. Powell, an attorney, testified
that Alderman called on him several
DAYS before Charnock's death, asking
him to be shown specimen OF the
old mans signature. The attorney de-

an instrument in his possession, the

doubtful regarding the signature to
the lease and wished to satisfy him.
self that it was genuine before filing
the paper for record.
1t was stated by e. j. Way assist
