UTILITY COMPANIES
TO FIX THEIR RATES
Council Will Be Busy This Week Ar
ranging for Charges to BE Made
by Corporations Which
Serve Public

This will be busy week with the
council, for the city charter says that
body must begin OH its last meeting
day in February to fix the rates that
public utilities may charge during the
coming year.
one sitting, judging by experience, and
in order to complete the work within
the time required by law the council
Will have to adjourn from day to day.
There seems to be little possibility
that any change will be made in the
electric light, gas or telephone charges.
Any effort of the council in the past to
reduce the maximum amount that may
be charged has always met with oppo-
sition from the utility companies at
torneys, who present to members of
the council unVersed in law arguments
which are unanswerable, to show why
the rates should be maintained. They
have long lists of statistics to show
that Los Angeles has the cheapest gas
and electric light rates of any city Of
it's size in the country.
But City Auditor Mushet intends to
take a hand in the rate fixing this
year, and he has promised a report that
will make some persons sit up and
listen. He has the full figures of the
companies on hand from which to make
his deduction. The companies first file
reports as they are required to do by
the charter, showing their gross earn
ings and expenditures, but these re-
ports are not in detail. The auditor
demanded more information, and on
the demand of the council this addi-
tionaI information was furnished

CHARGE OWNER WITH
BUILDING FOR SPITE
Residents of Highland Park Much
Aqitated by Action of Property
Holder in Erecting a
Frame Building

The "spite house" question is agitat-
ing residents of Highland Park, in the
neighborhood of the Avenue 81 school.
Two small and unsightly sheds have
hugged the south lot line at 542S Monte
Vista street for some time, being occu-
pied by a barber and a cobbler. 1t has
been the opinion of persons living in
the block that they were built by the
owner, William D. Ellis, because Ar
thur A. Wall, who owns the adjoining
property at 542S Monte Vista street,
would not sell at Mr.. Ellis valuation.
Mr. Ellis owns all the lots from Ave-
nue. So to the alley except the Wall
property, and holds title to the lot at
5424 Monte Vista street, on the other
side of the Wall property from the
cobbler's shed. He began erection yes
terday morning, without previous
warning, of another small frame build
ing at No. 5424, placing it directly up to
Mr.. Wallis lot line. The spectacle of
two ''spite houses in a district like
Highland Park has aroused the people
living in the vicinity, and they were
considering ways and means yesterday
to circumvent Mr.. Ellis.
Il demonstrated with Ellis when he
put UP the first shacks, and he said 1
ought to sell if l did not like them,
said Mr. Wall yesterday. 'I would
rather sell than have trouble, but his
offer was away below the value of my
home"

IMPERIAL CANTALOUPE CROP
is PLACED AT 5000 ACRES

IMPERIAL, Feb. %. = Cantaloupe
planting is in full force. Many ranch
ers have had their melon acreage al
ready seeded, and by the close of the
week the bulk of the planting in I'm
perial valley will be completed.
Estimates made by men in close touch
with the situation are that Imperial
valley will have approximately 5000
acres of cantaloupes this season..
The estimates for El Centro are from
900 to 1000 acres. OF this, the H. Woods
company now has contracts for 623
acres.
The general acreage of the valley is
divided among the various commission
firms in round numbers as follows:
H. Woods & Co.. 1000 acres; Lyons &
Coggins, 1900 acres; Strachan Fruit
company, 600 acres; Crutchfield & Wool
folk, $50 acres; Grochens, 270 acres;
Fleighler & CO.. 120 acres; Interstate
Produce company, 280 acres; indepen-
dent shippers. 800 acres.
The total acreage now contracted
reaches 5420 acres, and it expected by
the produce men that this will be
swelled until the total for the valley
will reach close to 5000 acres.

HOTEL is
SUBJECT TO EXECUTION
Court Holds Ninety=tw~ Mechanics
Liens Are Valid and Must
Be Paid

In a decision rendered by Judge
Wilbur in the superior court yesterday
all but five of the ninety-seven me-
chanic's lien cases, brought against the
insolvent Wentworth Hotel company
which involve about $150,0O0, were de-
cided in favor of the plaintiffs.
Under this ruling the hotel building
and grounds, excepting three acres, are
subject to execution, and under the
decision of Judge Wilbur the property
must be sold by the sheriff to satisfy
the judgments.
Judge Wilbur ruled that the material
delivered on the hotel grounds, even
though not used, may be collected for
and the sellers hold valid lien against
the property. This is a point that has
not heretofore been passed on by the
courts of California, and arose from the
fact that the building was stopped in
course of construction.
The validity of a bond issue, made to
relieve the financial condition of the
Wentworth Hotel company, will be de-
cided in a case now pending in Judge
MOnrOe'S court.

CALIFORNIA; SHEEPMEN
WIN IMPORTANT VICTORY
Man Accused of EVading County Li-
cense for Grazing Is Released
from Jail

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 22.-Sheep rails
ers of California won an important VIC
tory today in the appellate court when
L. l.. Mccoy, a sheep man of Red
Bluff, secured his freedom by habeas
corpus from a charge of violating a
Lassen county ordinance imposing a
license tax Of cents a head on sheep
and lambs grazing in that county.
The decision will also knock out
about one-third of the revenue collect
ed annually by Lassen county.
The appellate court holds that the
license is unrea soma BILE and was adopt
ed for the purpose of raising revenue
and not for the purpose of regulating
the sheep industry.

OPPOSE MEASURE AS
TO MOVING PICTURES
May Try &C Induce Mayor to Veto Any
Action Taken by Council,
Though He Himself
Suggested 1t

A lively scrimmage over the new
moving picture ordinance is promised
at this mornings council meeting. The
moving picture men do not want the
ordinance passed and will appeal to the
council in every way they know against
such action.
+ The councilmen favor the ordinance,
and had it not been that the picture
men asked that it go over a week it
would have been passed last week.
This ordinance is the direct result of
a message from Mayor Harper asking
the passage of such a law. A few weeks
ago the mayor sent a message to the
council telling that body that some of
the pictures flashed on the screens were
pernicious, and asked, for a law forbid
ding pictures of crimes or immortality.
The mayor stated that much juvenile
crime could be directly traced to some
of the cheap theaters.
On the recommendation of the mayor
this ordinance was drawn, but the mov-
ing picture people, or some of them,
prefer to show these Objectionable pic
lures, and will do their best to prevent
the passage of the ordinance.
If the ordinance is passed they will
attempt to use their influence with the
mayor to have it vetoed, but they have
little hope of success, as it is practical =
ly the mayors own ordinance.

CIosed-Council to Suspend
One of Its Rules

The city hall was closed yesterday
afternoon A. A. Hubbard, Ed Kern
and Secretary Ferris of the board of
public works being the only persons in
the building during the day. But the
busy little board of public works has
to keep up its daily grind, holiday or no
holiday.
The fact that yesterday was a holi-
day will make it necessary for the
council to suspend one of its rules III
order to take up the regular routine
of business this morning. One of the
rules requires that reports of the vari-
Gus departments must be filed with the
city clerk not later than o'clock Mon
day in order to be considered at the
following days session of the council.
But as none of the departments was
open yesterday, no reports were sub
mitted, and the clerks Office was not
open to receive them if they had been.

ady. He us said to be an artist, musi-
clan, author and critic, but, owing to
financial reverses, is almost penniless,
with a wife to care for.
De Vissak and his wife came to Los
Angeles a year ago. He was in poor
health, and earned his living by selling
etchings and reproductions Of famous
paintings, which he imported from Eu-
rope. Finally the demand for these
pictures became less and less, until he
was unable to sell them. Then he was
afflicted with the nervous malady and
compelled to become a charity patient
at the county hospital.
According to De. Vissak. his parents
were banished to Siberia for participat-
ing in the Polish rebellion of 1863. Had
the rebellion been a success he would
row be in high power.
Attendants at the hospital have in
terested themselves in his case and will
attempt to find employment for his
wife until De Vissak is able to work.
