ARTHUR GROSSER ARRESTED
AFTER RAID
TWO WAooNLoADs OF BEER AND
LIQUOR FOUND
Proprietor Refused to Open Door to
Barn, but Officers Broke the
Lock and Found the
Intoxcants

Charged with violating the liquor
ordinance, Arthur Grosser, secretary
of the Sixth Ward Good Government
club, was arrested by Patrolmen Gift
ford, Wyckoff and others at 1916 East
Fourteenth street yesterday afternoon
and taken to the central police station,
where he was released under $500 bail
for his appearance in Police Justice
Williams court Monday morning. Two
wagonloads of beer, whisky and wine
were confiscated and will be used as
evidence.
Grosser and his brother William
Grosser, were arrested February on
a charge of conducting a blind pig
at the nursery at Fourteenth street and
Central avenue. After considerable de-
lay and several continuances the case
was brought to trial and resulted in
a disagreement of the jury. The case
was again set for trial and the matter
Is still pending.
For the last week plain clothes
patrolmen have been investigating the
report that Arthur Grosser was selling
liquor at wholesale outside the liquor
zone. AS a result of this investigation
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Joseph
f. Seymour, jr., yesterday issued search
warrants and the arrest of Grosser and
the seizure of the liquor, which was
found stored in q barn, followed.
Grosser objected to the officers
searching the place and refused to open
the door of the barn. He was quite
indignant and declared that the action
of the police was an outrage. The
patrolmen did not stop to argue with
him, but broke in the door and found
the liquor.
Grosser was not taken to the station
in the patrol wagon because of lack of
room, but accompanied an officer on
street car. He readily furnished the
5000 cash bail required and was re-

COMMITTEE. SENDS LETTER TO
THE BOARD
Admits Handicap Caused by Position
of Solid Three, but Expresses ln-
tention TO Maintain Its
Vigilance

That the advisory committee of the
good roads work has no intention Of
laying down in the fight for an eco
nomical expenditure of the county's
funds was made clear yesterday to the
board of supervisors by the receipt Of
the following letter signed by Sidney
A. Butler, chairman of the ADVISORY
committee:
ITO the Honorable Board of Super
visors, Los Angeles County, California:
Gentlemen-We beg to submit to your
attention:
"First-In the opinion of your ad-
visory committee the personnel of the
highway commission is fundamental TO
the efficient and economical construc-
ton of good roads throughout the
county.
"Second-The majority ofyour board,
by whose action your committee was
appointed, has seen fit to deliberately
ignore it's functions as an advisory
committee and has failed and refused
to consult or advise with 1t in the mat
ter of the appointment of members of
the highway commission, and thereby
stripping your committee of It's most
important powers and duties assigned
to it by your board for the protection
of the public interests.
"Third-Your action in TINS all-lm-
portant matter renders it futile and i'm
possible for this committee under eX-
! isting conditions to continue to act In
an advisory capacity which would Inn
ply responsibility to the public, both
| for the action of the board and of your
| highway commission.
"Fourth-Your committee, neverthe-
| less, has fully in mind the fundamen-
tai grounds and reasons for It's ap-
pointment as clearly and pertinentlJ
| expressed by your board in its resolu'
ton, namely that in order that the
enterprise of the good roads should bt
removed from all political partisan ant
other ulterior influences, and for the
purpose of securing the fullest conf
dence on the part of the taxpayers Of
| Los Angeles county Your advisory
committee feels that by its acceptance
of your appointment 1t assumed grave
responsibilities and serious duties tc
the public, in whose interests 1t was
created and it consequently shall con-
tinue to watch over and, So far as in
It's power lies, to conserve those inter
ests, notwithstanding the deliberate
and persistent reputation by ma
1ority of your board of purposes and
objects for which this committee was
brought into existence. Respectfully,
ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
