HOLLYWOOD WATER
RATES ARE RAISED
COMPANY TAKES ADVANTAGE
OF OPPORTUNITY
Despite Request of Citizens of Foot
hill Town, Supervisors Fail to
Fix Legal Charge for
Service

Owing to the failure of the board of
supervisors to fix water rates to be
charged by the Union Hollywood
Water company to users outside the
city of Hollywood, the way has been
left open to the company to put into
effect any rate its officers see fit. Ad-
vantage has been taken of this circum-
stance, and old rates, so high that
water users entered a Vigorous protest,
have been increased instead of lowered.
The increase went into effect Thurs
day. From $1.60 as a minimum the
company has raised the lowest rate to
$1.75, emitting the user to 5000 gallons,
and for each additional 1000 gallons
the rate has been raised from thirteen
cents to twenty cents
The water users protested to the
supervisors several months ago, de-
manding that the board fix a legal
rate, based on the valuation of the
companys plant. After several weeks
time was expended in taking testi-
mony, the matter was submitted to
Hartley Shaw, deputy district attor-
ney and legal adviser for the board,
a month ago. Since then Mr.. Shaw
has been awaiting a decision of the
state supreme court, involving similar
questions with reference to a conten-
ton over water rates in Oakland.

STOCKHOLDERS SUE
COMPANY OFFICIALS
MEMBERS OF OIL COMPANY
SEEK REDRESS
AlIeue That President and Secretary
Held Secret Meeting and Disposed
of Stock to Another Cor
poraton

Los Angeles stockholders of the Elks
Consolidated Oil company filed suit in
the superior court yesterday through
Attorney Robert G. Loucks, in which
they ask that the action Of Richard
Arnez, president of the company, and
w. H. Fuller, secretary, treasurer and
director, in transferring the affairs or
the corporation to the White Star Oil
company in February be declared il
legal. They also seek judgment OF
$175,650 damages, representing the
value of their stock based upon the
worth of the Consolidated company s
property.
Those asking redress are T. w. Whit
tier, w. e. Thornton and j. A. Hen
derson, acting for themselves and other
stockholders.
The Elks Consolidated Oil company
is an Arizona corporation but its
property. 460 acres of oil land, is To-
Gated in Ventura county, this state,
and much of its business is transacted
in Los Angeles. February 8 last, ac-
cording to the complaining stockhol-
ders, Arnez and Fuller went to
Phoenix, Ariz., the home of the office
of the company, and held a meeting
as directors without, it is said, giving
sufficient notice to the stockholders of
their purpose.
A resolution was passed transferring
the companys affairs to Mrs. Arnez
wife of the president, who, in turn, 1t
is alleged, transferred the property to
the White Star company the purpose
according to Whittier and his asso-
ciates, being to place the stockholders
in a position where they individually
would be held responsible for the debts
of the corporation.

JUSTICE LEAGUE
ON FIRM BASIS
NEW ORGANIZATION FINDS
HEADQUARTERS
FINANCIAL FUTURE OF CLUB is
SECURE
Subscriptions Made by Several Men,
bers, in Addition to Regular Levy,
Make Effc ctive Work
Possible

Complete organization of the League
of Justice of this city has now been
effected, and on Tuesday, July s, the
league will move into headquarters in
rooms 603 and 618 o. T. Johnson build
ing. The executive committee will meet
Tuesday noon at the Federation club
for the purpose of discussing work to
be done and of appointing permanent
committees to carry on the various
branches of work as planned.
The league starts operations on a
firm financial basis, several members
having subscribed substantial amounts
in addition to the smaller amounts
pledged for support of the regular fund.
Thus the financial possibility of the
proposition is guaranteed from the
start.
officers Of the league estimate that
there will be no less than 10000 mem
bers enrolled before the end of the first
years operations The league is en-
listing the support of those who believe
in the principles of justice which it
advocates and in the enforcement of
law and the punishment of graft and
corruption. Although no campaign has
been undertaken over 200 names have
already been voluntarily subscribed to
the membership roll. The committee
of 100, carefully selected from among
the leading citizens of Los Angeles
numbers men and women representa-
tive of every political belief and every
line of public activity.
officers of the organization are now
at work preparing literature in which
the detailed plan of the leagues opera
tions will be set forth. This material
will be ready for public distribution by
the middle of July.
The local league is part of national
movement and demand for such an
organization has come from many cities
throughout the United States. This
demand led the Rev. William RAIDER
of San Francisco to make a special trip
to the east. during the past winter, and
has been the. motive for a tour of
eastern cities by Prof. George H. BoEe
of the University of California. Pro-
fessor Boke went east at the solicita-
ton of various civic organizations in
large eastern cities, and is there now
detailing the plan of a national League
of Justice. 1t is expected that many of
the cities visited will organize Leagues
of Justice, and that these will all be
merged into a national organization,
with a central committee of control
Besides the local league and the San
Francisco original there is a League
of Justice at Berkeley, and another in
Palo Alto, while other California cities
are now planning similar leagues

WIFE SHOWS JUDGE
HOW MAN BEAT HER
SPOUSE SEVERELY PUMMELED
IN COURT ROOM
Woman Grabs Husband, Shakes and
Pounds Him to Show Bench
Treatment She Alleges
She Received

How William MCGOWAN pummeled
his wife, Elizabeth McGowan, was
sensationally and vigorously illustrated
in Justice Ling's court yesterday, the
womans fists and McGowan's head be-
ing used in the physical explanation of
the occurrence leading to the mans
arrest Friday on a charge of battery
What did your husband do to you,
madam" asked the justice.
"He bit my arm, hit me on the head
with a plank and then tried to choke
me-" responded the woman, regarding
disdainfully her recalcitrant life part
ner.
Did all that happen during one quar-
rel, or on separate occaslons!
"All at one time, on Thursday re-
piled Mrs. MCGOWAN.
"Well, well!' exclaimed the justice,
"Show me how it was done, will you"
Gives Demonstration
Mrs. MCGOWAN not only would but
did. Starting up from her chair she
grasped her husband, who had peen
sitting near her, by the shoulders, llft-
ed him about a foot and slammed him
back into his seat. Then he was sub
iected to a severe shaking, followed by
a fstic attack on the top of his head.
Justice Ling called halt as soon as
he could recover his astonishment.
Il was going to send your husband to
Jail for six months" he said, but after
that exhibition of your prowess I will
fine him only $40" MCGOWAN paid the
fine and was released.
The McGowans live on Stephenson
avenue. Their troubles began several
days ago when MCGOWAN carried home
a brindle pup. The following day the
dog chased Mrs. McGowans chickens
and when she complained to her hus-
band he supported the action of his
newly acquired pet. Until Thursday
the dog had the back yard to himself.
The chickens were again attacked, and
when MCGOWAN reached home the quar-
rel that ensued terminated in a dstic
encounter and later visit to the
Justice court, where a complaint charg-
ing battery was issued.

by Disagreement Over Accounts
and Charges of Discrep-

Following the filing of a civil suit in
the superior court yesterday by Milton
A. Nathan, attorney for Jacob and
Abraham Silberstein, Alexander Brick.
who until May 20 last was associated
with the Silbersteins in the firm OF
Silberstein & Brick, 4141s South Broad

ness, was placed under arrest on allie
cations of fraud made by his former
partners. He gave $4,000 bonds for his
appearance at the trial of the action,
the date of which has not been set.
The firms principal place of busi-
ness is Los Angeles, where Brick has
had charge of the books and financial
transactions. branch store has been
maintained in New York and another
in San Francisco, Jacob Silberstine
being in charge of the former and at
tending to the purchase of goods,
while his brother, Abraham Silber-
stein, looked after the firms interest

delivery of merchandise 1t is esti-
mated by the Silbersteins that the
firm did an average annual business
of $1O6,O00
Agreed to Dissolve
The trouble between the Slbersteins
and Brick results from an investiga-
ton following the signing of an agree
the partnership was dissolved. AT
that time the Silbersteins agreed to
take two-thirds of the assets and as
sumo a like proportion of the liabili-
ties, while Brick assumed one-third of

had falsifed the firms accounts to the
extent of over $4,000. They were de-
