CUTS BASKETBALL SQUAD
Columbia Coach Eliminates All

Harry Fisher. coach of the Columbia
basketball team, made a cut in the squad
yesterday. reducing the number of candi-

practice. BY working one scrub five in the
first half and the other in the second the
varsity PLAYERS will be forced to extend
themselves in practice games Fisher is
having trouble with his freshman players,
as only few have been reporting regu-
larly, and he has refused to pick a team
from the small number of men available

WILL NOT CALL SPECIAL
ELECTION ON RAIL LAW
Council Decides Groove -Girder
Track Referendum Goes
to Vote Dec, 1911

Should special election occur before
the next general election in December,
1911, the referendum against the
grooved girder rail ordinance will be
submitted to the people at that time;
but if no special election is held the
ordinance will be voted on at the next
general election.
Such was the decision the council
arrived at yesterday when City Clerk
Lelande certified that the referendum
filed about two weeks ago against this
ordinance was sufficient to compel the
council either to repeal the ordinance
or submit it to a vote of the people
The council does not want to call q
special election for this ordinance alone,
as it does not consider the benefit to be
derived from the adoption of the ordi-
nance would justify the cost of an cleo
tion. 1t had hoped to be able to place
1t on the ballot when the charter
amendments are submitted to the peo-
pie. but the city attorney ruled yester-
day that nothing but charter amend
ments could be considered at an cleo
tion held for that purpose. He held
that should any other election, under
the charter. be called before the gem
eral election on the referendum could
be submitted
The ordinance will not be effective
until it is approved by the people, and
in the meantime the railway companies
do not have to lay the grooved girder
rail to which they object so strenu-
ously.

FILE PETITION FOR CROSS
TOWN STREET CAR LINE

Street cars will run across town from
the east to the west city limits in the
southern part of the city if the Cen
tral Avenue Improvement association
can bring about such a thing. The
suggested route for the line is on Yer
non avenue.
The Central Avenue Improvement as
sociation filed a petition yesterday
bearing 2500 signatures, asking the city
council to advertise a franchise for
sale from the eastern to the western
city limits in the southern part of the
city. The petition was presented by
S. D. Moore and he told the council
that there is no cross town line south
of Twelfth street and east of Main
and that people in that big district
have to come almost to the heart of the
business district to transfer to a car
that will take them out in the south
western part of the city, The south
western part of the city is better pro-
vided with cross-town cars as there are
lines on Pico, Washington, Adams, JEFF
ferson and for short distances on some
of the other cross streets.
The people who petition for the fran
chise are ready to help build the line,
if necessary, by contributions of money
and will probably buy the franchise
themselves when it is offered for sale.
The matter was referred to the board
of public utilities and the board will
fix a time for hearing the petitioners.

WINS SUIT To RESCIND
CONTRACT FOR SHARES
Court Declares Mining Company
Misrepresented Stock
Value to Buyer

William Oothout Is the winner in
| both the suit he brought against the
Karma-Ajax Consolidated Mining COM
pany for the resembling of q contract
for the purchase of stock and the suit
it brought against him for $4,000 dam
ages for alleged conduct unbecoming
stockholder.
That is the gist of the decision rem
dered yesterday by Judge Conrey of
department five of the superior court,
who decided that $3500 paid by Oothout
for stock must be returned, and that
the other party to the suits is entitled
to no damages at all.
According to Oothout's complaint, he
contracted TO buy 10000 shares of stock
in the company. 1t was represented to
him, he says, that the company owned
property on the boundary line between
Kern and Los Angeles counties, and he
actually turned over to the concern
$500.
Later on the mining company sus-
gested to Oothout that he invest $4,000
more in the property and take 81 per
cent of the stock Then Oothout de-
Gided to make fuller investigation of
the holdings of the company than he
had before, the original investment OF
his having been made only after a pc
rusal of the prospectus.
He found that the company did not
actually own the property, which was
on government land, but had options on
it, and that alleged water rights were
far from being all that was represented.
Then Oothout gave notice of the in
tention to rescind his contract with the
mining company for the purchase of
the stock, and soon began suit for the
recovery of the $3500 Meantime he
began the formation of the Soledad
Mining company, which purchased the
property of the Karma-Ajax Consoh-
dated company "out from under it,
Following that the Karma- Ajax Con-
solidated Mining company claiming
that as a stockholder Oothout mad no
right to do anything against the inter
ests of the company, sued, and dam
ages of S45,000 were asked.
Judge Conrey declared that as the
stock had been sold to Oothout by ms
representations, he was not really
stockholder, and decided both actions
in his favor.

COUNC|LMEN URGE
CITY HALL ANNEX
Members Ask Appropriation of
$4,000 for Office Build
ing on Broadway
MAYOR APPROVES PROPOSAL
Committee Figures on Saving a
Portion of Large Sum Now
T. Expended in Rent
MAYOR APPROVES PROPOSAL

An annex to the city hall, two stories
high and of as cheap construction as
can come within the demands of the
fire limits ordinance, is the latest plan
of the council. The members yesterday
adopted a recommendation of the build
ing committee that the budget commit
tee be instructed to appropriate $4,000
for a city hall annex. The annex is to
be built on Broadway on the vacant
lot owned by the city adjoining the
present city hall.
The annex is to be only a temporary
structure and is intended to house those
departments that now have to go out
side to secure office room. The city
pays a rental of $40 900 a year for these
outside offices. This includes the water
department and the aqueduct bureau,
but these two branches Of the city Civ
ernment will not be invited to come
under the new roof.
RENT WORRIES CITY OFFICIALS
This is the solution the building COM
mittee has reached for housing all the
municipal departments at the minimum
cost. 1t is expected that a new city
hall will be built on the Temple block
site, but that 1t will not be ready for
occupancy for five years or more, and
in the meantime the city wants to save
as much rent as possible and apply it
to the construction of the new city hall.
A part of the Temple block will be
fitted up for the occupancy of the
health department and the rooms this
department has now in the rear of the
city hall will be turned over to some
other branch.
The plan to build the annex to the
city hall meets the approval Of Mayor
Alexander, and he expressed himself
pleased yesterday.
THAT is the way to settle it on a
H.
should have been done long ago and
the city would have saved the money
that has been paid out in rent"
The plan to fit up the old Phillips
block, where the Hamburger depart
ment stores were, seems to have been
abandoned. The building committee
found that it would cost too much to
build the necessary vaults.
FUND RAISED BY OWNERS
Joseph Mesmer yesterday told the
council that a subscription of $4,000
had been raised by interested property
owners to remodel the Phillips block
for the temporary occupancy of SOME of
the city departments. but the council
did not accept the offer. Mr.. Mesmer
appeared much disappointed, and in
tends to press his offer.
Councilman Washburn, chairman of
the budget committee and a member
OF the building committee that made
the report, does not seem to approve OF
it altogether. He objected yesterday on
the ground that as a member of the
building committee he had not been
consulted on the annex, and that as a
member of the budget committee he
had not been consulted as to where the
money was to be obtained. He objected
to being placed in the position of in
structing himself to find the money
when he knew nothing at all of the
plans.

COUNCIL TO FIX PIL0TAGE
AND WHARFAGE CHARGES
Harbor Commission Will Present
Rate Ordinance

Rates to be charged for pilotage,
wharfage and other matters at the
Los Angeles harbor are to be fixed by
the city council at its meeting next
Wednesday. The harbor commission
will present the ordinance containing
these rates and the ordinance will be
the result of much hard work on the
part of the commission. The commits
sioners have been at work on this
ordinance for a number of weeks and
had expected to present it to the coun-
ell for adoption yesterday, but al
though they continued their work far
into the night Monday, could not get
it completed.
The council yesterday instructed the
harbor commission to examine into the
application of the National Lumber
company for a franchise to extend It's
wharf on the Terminal island side of
the harbor. The council wants to know
if the city's interest will be jeopardized
if the franchise is granted

News of the Courts
JURIST OF IMPERIAL
SITS IN LOCAL COURT
Arguments Over Development
Company's Bond Issue Are
Heard by Judge Cole

The superior court of Imperial county
was held in the Los Angeles county
court house for a few hours yesterday
when Judge Cole of the cantaloupe
country, sitting in Judge Conrey's de-
partment, heard a part of the case of
the Title Insurance and Trust COM
pany against the California Develop
ment company.
William H. Holabird was appointed
some time ago a receiver for the de-
velopment concern, and since then
bondholders representing 100000 worth
of bonds, and also represented by the
Title Insurance and Trust company
have taken exception to his conduct of
the company's affairs.
The result is the attempt of the Title
Insurance and Trust company, on be-
half of the bondholders. to foreclose on
the bonds.
A bill of exceptions was argued yes
terday and amendments to it will be
the subject of argument for a short
time this morning. Other phases of
the troubles of the company will be
heard August 80, while still others have
gone to the supreme court.
Because Judge Cole could come to
Los Angeles more readily than all in
terested attorneys could go to Imperial,
the case is being heard here.

PROSECUTOR WANTS LAW
AGAINST ORAL BETTING
Guy Eddie Explains to Council
How WagerS Are Made

Oral betting is legal, according to an
opinion given the council yesterday by
Guy w Eddie, city prosecutor, and he
asked the council to pass an ordinance
that would prohibit by such means
gambling on ball games. The council
accepted the suggested and instructed
the city attorney to prepare the neces-
sary measure.
Mr.. Eddie reported that oral betting
at Chutes park on ball games had be-
come so open and so offensive that his
office was besieged daily to stop it, but
that it could not be stopped under the
present gambling laws.
To make a bet now all that is neces-
sary is to call out the amount of the
bet and the side the bet is made on,
and any one who wants to cover"
the bet has a right to do so.
The prosecutor told the council that
this was the condition New York hau
to confront when it stopped bookmak-
ing at the races and that special laws
had to be passed to prohibit oral bet
ting.

POLICE BOARD MUST
EXPLAIN REVOCATION

Judge Houser of the superior court
has continued until August 10 the hear
ing of the writ of review which Judge
Bordwen issued in the case of Jennie
Thorn against the Los Angeles board
of police commissioners.
The plaintiff alleges that the commits
sion, without giving her hearing, took
away her license for the conduct of
massage establishment in Spring
street. She says it was done during
her absence from the city and while
the case was cared for by another
woman.
Judge Bordwell held that the COM
mission has no right to take away
license without granting a hearing to
its holder, and a writ of review fol-
lowed. Therefore the police commits
sioners must explain their action to the
satisfaction of the court.
