CITY TO PARTIALLY PAY
FOR FIRE APPARATUS
Appropriation of $4,000 to Settle
Old Bill Recommended

After waiting nearly five years for
it's money the Gamewell Fire Alarm
and Police Telegraph company VIII
get a portion of what the city owes 1t.
The supply committee yesterday
agreed to recommend the payment of
$4,000 for some of the fire alarm ap-
paratus.
The bill for this apparatus has been
a subject of controversy for nearly
five years. 1t was that long ago that
the apparatus was purchased from
the Garnewell company but after 1t
was Installed and in use and the
Gamewell company demanded Its
money, Auditor Mushet discovered
that the riverbed franchise council
had ordered the apparatus in an ir-
regular wav and that the demand was
not strictly legal. But the machin-
ery was in use and is still in use to-
day and the Gamewell company want
&c either its money or the apparatus
returned.
A special committee of the former
council, composed of Wallace, Drom-
gold and Wren, investigated the mat
ter and just before the former coun-
ell went out of office recommended the
bill be not paid but said nothing about
returning the apparatus.

JUDGE ALTON B. PARKER
DEFENDS SUPREME COURT
Declares Thinking People Will Not
Approve T. RS Attack

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Judge Alton
opinion of the court of appeals of New
York in the "bakespop case," mention
of which was made by Theodore
Roosevelt IN his recent address to the
Colorado legislature. in which the for
mer president criticised the supreme
court of the United States, made the
following statemtnt today in defense
of the supreme court:
"It is safe to assert that the attack
on the supreme court of the United
States by Mr.. Roosevelt in his address
to the legislature of Colorado will not
be approved by bench and bar and
thoughtful people of this country who
appreciate the Importance of the ju-
dietary in our governmental system
and the necessity for continuance OF
the existenct of public confidence and
affection in our courts.
every judge in every court gave to
this important question his best effort,
which is stongly evidenced by the diff
ferences of view of the members of the
several courts. That fact had been
quite sufficient to protect the greatest
court in the world from offensive crlti-
cism from any source and especially
from one who heretofore manifested
his dissatisfaction with a department
of government which was performing
the independent functions conferred OH
it by the constitution, to neither en-
croach on its coordinate departments
of government nor to allow them to
encroach on ii"

BATTLE ON PHONE RATES
REACHES COURTS TODAY
City to Oppose Efforts Of Pacific
Company to Obtain
Restraining Order

City Attorney ]. w. Shenk and his
assistant, e. Y. Young, will appear in
the United States sercuit court this
morning to show why a temporary
restraining order should not be issued
to prevent the telephone rates from
going into effect. The Pacific Tele-
phone & Telegraph company has
asked for an injunctiCn claiming that
the rates fixed by the city council will
cause the company to lose $4,000 a
year.
Should an injunction be issued the
rates permitted in last years ordi-
nance will be in effect as far as the
Pacific company is concerned. The
Home company is not a party to the
suit.
The Pacific company claims that it
loses money, when depreciation is talk
en- into account although, without ac-
counting for depreciation, figures in
possession of the board of public utili-
ties show that each of the Pacific
telephones produces a net revenue of
S4..09 a year.
injunction suit with affidavits of T. r.
public utilities, and w. H. Park, ex-
pert telephone engineer and accoun-
tant, who was employed by the board
during the recent rate fixing These
affidavits compare the expenses and
revenues of the two telephone COM
panies doing business in Los Angeles
and show that, although the number
of phones OF both companies is nearly
the same, the expense of operating for
the Pacific company is nearly double
that of the Home company.

PROTESTS AT IA SEWER
CONNECTIONS TO HOUSE
City Contract Hits Owner Of Big
Homestead Hard

What can one man do with fourteen
sewer connections for his one house?
This is a question that puzzles Joseph
Mesmer and he has asked the board of
public works to answer it, but the
board doesn't know.
Mr.. Mesmer owns a tract of land in
the eastern part of the city with a
frontage on Pritchard street. His house
is the only building on the tract and
the only building he ever intends shall
be on the tract, for he has parked the
land.
A sewer is being constructed on
Pritchard street. between Manitou ave-
nue. and Mission road, and the con-
tract calls for house connection for
every lot. The contractor has laid
fourteen house connections to Mr.. Mes
mers tract, for there are fourteen lots
in the tract, fronting on the sewer. But
Mr.. Mesmer has only one house and
does not see the necessity Of connect
ing this one house with the sewer
fourteen times. He has asked the
board of public works to eliminate the
unnecessary connections from the con-
tract and make his assessment that
much less, but the city engineer re-
ported to the board yesterday that this
could not be done.
The connections have already been
laid. but before the contract was
awarded, the engineer states, Mr.. Mes
mer was notified of the intention to
connect these lots with sewers and If
he had any objections he should have
made them before the contractwa let.
He says the record shows Mr.. Mes
mer's land divided into lots having a
frontage of 100 feet each.

WILL OF LATE DR.. BUELL.
GIVES RELATIVES $4,000

The will of DR.. e. c. Buell. of Los
Angeles, who died July 25 in Geona,
Italy, leaving an estate valued at $4O,-
900, was admitted to probate yester-
day by Judge Rives of the superior
court.
The estate consists mostly of realty,
the largest piece being house and lot
at 1924 Hobart boulevard, valued at
$40 900. That and other parts of the
estate were devised to relatives in the
east. The only exception was the
doctors medical library, which he
willed to the Hahneman Medical col

LOT PURCHASER APPEALS
FOR FACTS ABOUT TITLE
William Wright Asks Court to Ap-
point Receiver

Asking that a receiver be appoint
ed to examine into the condition OF
affairs relating to realty valued at
S25OO, William Wright yesterday filed
in the superior court an action against
Mary D. C. Salyer, her husband, F. II.
Salyer, and Eliza Munro.
Wright asserts that Mrs. Salyer
contracted with William S. and Bertha
l.. Price for the purchase OF lot 4S
in the Denker avenue tract and that
they turned her contracts over to him.
Later he learned that Eliza Munro
holds a mortgage on the property
having loaned $3.50 to Mrs. Salyer on
it. He says he has been unable TO
ascertain what condition the a1alrs
of the property are in, as no persons
connected with the mortgage, ne al
leges, will tell him. He thinks ms
nrior interest in. the matter justifies
him in asking for an accounting ana

RAILWAY MUST FIX STREET
IF FRANCHISE ABANDONED
Park View Matter Is Likely to Be
Compromised

If the council agrees to the demand
of the Los Angeles railway and con-
sents to the abandonment of that por-
ton of the so-called Ninth street
franchise on Park View from Ninth
street to the West Bonnie Brae tract,
the board of public utilities suggests
several things be demanded.
These are that the railway company
remove all rails, switches and other
foreign material from the street: that
it remove the wooden culvert across
Park View avenue at Ninth street
and the culvert on the west side of
Park View avenue in front of lot 8,
block C of the Bonnie Brae tract, and
that it gravel and oil all that part of
the street from which the track is to
be removed.
The railway has agreed to dedicate
to the city its private right of way on
lot 9, which is really private street,
and the board suggests this be ac-
cepted as 1t will make a desirable
continuation Of Tenth street.

FRIENDS or ROOSEVELT
TO OPPOSE SHERMAN
GrisCom of New York Says That
Barnes Drew Sherman
Into False Position

NEW YORK, Aug. S1.-The an
nouncement of friends of Colonel
Roosevelt that they will offer his name
to the state convention in opposition
to Vice President Sherman for the
temporary craftsmanship came in Tor
much discussion at the Republican
state committee rooms when William
Barnes jr., dropped in from Albany
today to confer with Chairman Wood
ruff. The state chairman had nothing
to say but Mr.. Barnes said:
II am shocked to learn that certain
forces in the Republican party in this
state contemplate an attempt to undo
the action of the state committee In
recommending Vice President Sherman
to be temporary chairman of the state
convention. Such a proceeding as this,
threatening affront to the man be-
tween whom and the presidency of the
United States there stands but single
life, should meet with universal con-
demnation and defeat by the conven-
tion."
Lloyd c. Griscom, to whom President
Taft recently addressed his letter in
regard to the selection of temporary
chairman, made the following state
ment today when he learned what Mr.
Barnes had to say:
"No one deplores more than l that
the vice president of the United States
should have permitted his name to be
used in an effort to perpetuate the
power of a particular faction of the
Republican party in this state, and that
he should have disregarded the advice
of the president to consult with Mr..
Roosevelt.
81 still confidently hope Mr.. Sherman
and his best friends will see that he
cannot accept an election surrounded
by such deceit. Mr.. Barnes and his
friends have drawn Mr.. Sherman into
an untenable position, and 1 can well
understand that they would like to
make further use of him."

An order for an interlocutory decree
of divorce for Charles H. Dougherty
from Ada G. Dougherty on the charge
of cruelty was vacated yesterday by
Judge Hutton of the superior court and
a retrial of the action was set for

because she thought the trial was TO
have been in the afternoon, when it
occurred in the morning.
The same judge granted a decree to
Charles L. Elder from Mary A. Elder
