CASE OF AUTOlST IS
SUBMITTED TO COURT
TWO Woman Witnesses of Death of
Street Cleaner Fail to Appear.
Decision Is Expected
Today

After an application for continu-
ance of the hearing had been refused
by Police Justice Chambers yesterday
morning, Attorney lie Compile Davis,
representing ]. B. Dudley, an automo-
bile sales agent, charged with man
slaughter, submitted the case without
evidence or argument, and a decision
will be rendered by Justice Chambers
this morning.
Dudley is accused of driving his auto
mobile in a reckless and negligent man
ner and causing the death OF Wood
man j. Thomas of the street depart
ment, who was struck near Fifth street
and Broadway and killed instantly Feb
ruary "a. In the motor car with Dud-
ley were two young women, Bertha
Holmes and Jessie Taylor, and two
men.
The women disappeared soon after
testifying at the inquest over Thomas.
Attorneys for the defense stated they
were DESTROYS of having the young wo-
men as witnesses, and the request for
a continuance yesterday morning was
made on the ground that the defense
wanted time to find these women.
During the early part of the prelim-
mary examination of Dudley, Attorney
Davis stated that unless he could have
the women here to testify at the pre-
liminary hearing the defense would
offer no testimony in the lower court.
The women are thought to be at
Grand Junction, Colo, and it is prob
able they will return to testify in the
superior court in the event Dudley is
tried there.
The testimony given by witnesses for
the prosecution was damaging to Dud-
ley and 1t is considered probable he
will be held to answer in the superior
court.

BANQUET GIVEN TO
Y. W. {. A. MEMBERS
Arthur Let's, Proprietor of the Broad
way Department Store, Entertains
IT'S Young Women in His
Cafe

The annual banquet to the Y. w. C.
A. of Los Angeles, in the cafe of the
Broadway department store last night,
was given through the courtesy of Ar
thur Let's, proprietor of the store and
president of the Y. M. c. A.
This affair, which has become an es-
tablished event and one looked for
ward to with pleasure by the members
of the Y. w. c. A., was attended by
IT'S guests.
The banquet was in honor of the an
nual pilgrimage of the delegates of the
Y. w. C. A to Capitola, four of the
delegates being employees of the Broad
way store.
The heads of the various departments
of the store were present, and feature
of the event was the cool fellowship
thta existed. After all had done JUS
tice to an elaborate dinner, the tables
were cleared and literary and musical
program given.
Remarks of a congratulatory nature
on the efficient work of the Y. w. G. A.
were the keynotes of each speech, and
the efforts of the young women to bet
ter the condition of their sisters in Los
Angeles were discussed.
Judge C. D. Wilbur was the speaker
of honor, and in his usual plain, out
spoken manner he told of the good
that could be accomplished by cooper
alton. He dwelt upon the fact that a
helping hand, a word of praise now
and then, often resulted in placing
young persons upon a plane where they
realized that life was worth living.
After two hours of entertainment,
and before the guests departed, the
members of the Y. w. c. A. gave a
rising vote of thanks to the manage
ment of the Broadway store for its
generous spirit and readiness to CO.
operate and assist in helping the work
of the association.

TO DETERMINE CITY'S
RIGHT TO USE WAFER
Suit Brought by Angel City to Prevent
Ranchers Pumping from Los
Angeles River for
Their Lands

Arguments in the suit of the city of
Los Angeles to enjoin ranch and other
property owners in the eastern portion
of San Fernando valley from pumping
Los Angeles river water on their land
were begun in the supreme court yes
terday. the city being represented by
Leslie r. Hewitt and L. r. Mathews
The defense raises the question
whether the city can use water in an
nexed territory claiming the water
cannot be used outside the boundarica
of the pueblo. about six square miles.
The taking of water by the plaintiffs.
according to the city's contention,
diminishes the supply in wells situated
at points along the river and MAIN
tanned by the city, and the suit is for
the purpose of establishing the city's
right and establishing the extent of its
power in using the water and prevent
ing others from using it.
