Following receipt Of news from
washington Yesterday that the Secre-
tary of war had refused to rescind the
order taking Capt. Fries from Los An
eeles Councilman A. j. Wallace made
the suggestion at the city council meet
ing that steps be taken to secure the
services of Capt. Fries as the city
harbor engineer This is, apparently
the opinion of the consolidation com Hdl-
mittee, as several leading members
have expressed themselves in favor OF
such a plan, and it has been seconded
by many other business men.
Further attempts are likely to be
made first, however, to secure a re-
versal of the present position or Secre-
tary of War Dickinson, who has writ
ten to Senator Flint saying that Capt.
Fries is urgently needed elsewhere and
that he cannot change the order. II
is conceded that the next step is to
send a representative of Los Angeles
to washington to make personal
argument for the retention OF Capt
Fries The, first idea on this line or
sending one man has been enlarged
into a strong committee. Among those
suggested for this are Stoddard Jess
chairman. of the Los Angeles commit
tee; A. P. Fleming, its secretary; VIII
lis H. Booth. president of the chamber
of commerce, and William ID. stephens.
1--WE should send to Washington the
strongest committee that can be gotten
together" said ]. o. Koepfii, president
of the Municipal league, "and If all
effort in that direction fails the city
should take some action that will keep
Capt. Fries here as the municipal har-
Dor engineer"
other opinions on similar lines were
numerous.
1--WE are not going to give up" said
William D. Stephens, for we need
Capt. Fries here far more than he is
needed anywhere else. We must not
stop until we have settled it that he
is to remain in Los Angeles. If we
cannot induce the war department. to
retain him here 1 favor taking him
away from the war department"
Commission Wants Fries
Under the city ordinances the proper
procedure to initiate the employment
of Capt. Fries as the city's harbor en-
gineer would come through recon-
nendation OF the harbor commission.
