get at each other, Harold Schauppi
brother of Vera b Schaupp, who is
being tried on an insanity charge, and
Owen Parrett, her would-be husband
gave the bailiff in Judge Bordwell S
court yesterday difficult half minute
work. The scene was prectpitated when
Miss Schaupp advanced to shake hands
with and say goodby to young Parrett,
following another postponement OF the
case.
None of that" objected her brother,
grasping her by the arm.
II guess my friends are mine, and
I'll speak to whom I please" she re-
piled.

brother. And with that both men
rushed at each other. The bailiff was
too quick, however, and a threat that
both would be placed under arrest had
a quieting effect.

The hearing will be resumed on next
Wednesday. In the meantime an

WIFE'S INDULGENCE IN
LIQUOR DIVORCE CAUSE
William CoIeby Secures Legal
Freedom on Testimony-MrS.
VaIIa Given AIimony

Evidence that his wife at one time
made a practice of drinking in public
places alone was the ground on which
Judge Hutton yesterday granted a di-
vorce to William w. Coleby from
Marie F. Coleby. The complaint was
habitual drunkenness, to which the
wife replied that, though she drank, it
was always with her husband or by his
consent.
The real cause of the trouble, accord
ing to Mrs. Coleby, was the Interior
ence of her husbands mother, who had
for years been striving to secure their
separation. Fear that the daughter-in-
law would inherit some of her $125,000
estate was said to be behind this.
On the stand, however, the mother
in-law told different tale.
my daughter-in-law would come
home intoxicated night after night"
she testified. ut fairly drove my son
frantic, and he was in i'll health as a
result.
ION one occasion she told me of be-
ing held up at o'clock in the morning
by a highwayman, and when she had
told him she had no money he replied
that she had plenty Of booze on board,
even if she didn't have any money"
Other DEGREES granted were: David
F. Henning from Charlotte Henning,
Leonora e. Beck from Christian A.
Beck, Frank w. Carpenter from Pearl
E. Carpenter, Emma Mckee from Sam
uel H. Mckee, and William E. Boggis
from Cora Z. BoggiS.
Alimony Of $50 a month was granted
to Mary A. Valla, who obtained di-
vorce from Louis B. Valla the day
before. Vallas estate, it was shown,
amounts to over $125,000.

hundreds of cities throughout the south
that are able to force dairymen to cool
the milk far below so degrees. l do
not see why Los Angeles cannot do
likewise. I do not wish to work
hardship on milk dealers by a drastic
ordinance, but what other southern
cities are able to do should be no task
for us.

culin test, such as Pasadena now has.
The dairymen protested strongly
against this ordinance when first pro-
posed, but the dairymen of Pasadena
are glad today that such a law exists.

that the enforcement of the ordinance
we have under consideration would

VICTIM OF LIQUOR HABIT
RECEIVES JAIL SENTENCE
Probationer Breaks Promise and
Gets Years Imprisonment

Unable to leave liquor alone, in spite
of all promises, ]. A Oberg appeared
before Judge Wilbur yesterday and
quietly took his sentence of one year
in the county Jail for breaking his pro-
baton.
The wife briefly related how, practi-
cally every day since his probation in
November, he had returned at night
under the influence of liquor, even go
ing to such lengths as to hide bottle
beneath his pillow that he might have
it during the night. All this Oberg adj
mitted.
A touching scene followed the SEN
tence, when, on kissing his wife good
by, the small 3-year-old daughter,
seeming to realize what it meant, held
out her arms appealingly and wept in
heartbroken manner until the father
had stopped to comfort her. Mean
while the sheriff stood by waiting to
take his prisoner.

CITY RESTRAINED FROM
REDUCING WATER RATES
Union Hollywood Company Pa
irons Must Pay Old Amount.
Court to Hold Difference

Although the new water ordinance
was said to have gone into effect on
July /, a temporary restraining order
was issued yesterday by Judge Clark
Of Ventura, who is trying the case of
the Union Hollywood Water company
against the city of Los Angeles that
has the effect Of dating back and con-
tinuing the old rate without inter-
mission.
Instead Of the $1.25 rate, the residents
in what was formerly Hollywood will
have to put down their $1.60 as before,
with the difference that the balance
will be deposited with the clerk of the
court to be returned to the patrons in
event of the ordinance being sustained.
Payments on August 1 will be as
though there had been no change in
the ordinance.
A hard fight between the attorneys
representing the city and those for
the company was first heard before
the decision was reached. The city at
torney contended the people should
be given the benefit of the doubt I'M
til it was proved otherwise, but Ator-
ney Haas, for the company, pointed
out no harm would result to anyone
if the money is held by the court, but
that unless this is done 1t never could
be collected in case the company won.

NO CONCESSION TO PHONE CO.

After an executive session yesterday
afternoon at the conclusion Of the reg
ular session, Councilman O'Brien, who
states he is opposed to executive ses-
sions of the council and to all secrecy
regarding council business, gave out
a statement that it was decided at the
meeting that the city would give no
concessions to the telephone companies
in their suit against the city on the tel
ephone rates. City Attorney Hewitt
was instructed to fight the case to
finish
1t was learned that Councilmen
Betkouski, Whiffen and Stewart met
with representatives of the telephone
interests yesterday afternoon and that
a proposal was made by the corpora
ton that the city consent to an in
junction, thus impounding the differ
ence between the old rate and the rate
fixed by the new ordinance, until such
time as judgment was handed down in
the suit
The council decided that no such
concession would be made. The coun-
ell. so it is stated, seemed favorable
to the recommendations of the mayor $
message of Wednesday,, which sug-
gested that the ordinance be so
amended that the rates on extension
phones in hotels be lowered, that a
reasonably higher rate for desk phones
as against wall phones be allowed and
that the rates be fixed to apply to Will
mington and San Pedro, which are now
excluded.
City Attorney Hewitt stated that to
fight the telephone rates case to a finish
it would cost the city between $4,000
and $4,000.
Councilman O'Brien expressed him
self freely regarding his opposition to
executive sessions and star chamber
meetings Of the city council.
81 am strongly opposed to any
secrecy being displayed by the council
in any of its actions. The council was
elected by the people, and the people
have a right to know any and all OF
its deliberations" he said.
at, for one, have been opposed to
these recent executive sessions and
secret conferences, but did not like
to be considered rude by remaining
away. I know that there are others
in the council who will echo my SEN
timents."
"I've attended my last executive ses-
sion of the Los Angeles city council"
said Councilman M. S. Gregory at the
conclusion Of yesterdays meeting. AT
the next secret or executive session
which is called I will be noted absent.
I am thoroughly disguised with these
secret tactics so recently exhibited. If
we have anything to do 1t Is nothing
which we should be ashamed of. The
electors who put us where we ara
should be apprised Of our delibera-
lions.
"At the session today the matters
discussed could just as we'll have been
open to public hearing, but instead we
locked ourselves in the council cham
Der as though we were ashamed OF
what we were debating.
1T reiterate that I have never been
in favor of executive sessions, and from
now on any secret meeting will not
have me as a member"

First Speech Before the
Municipal Council

Frederick ]. Whiffen made his
maiden speech in the council yesterday,
introducing a motion to instruct the
city attorney to report to the council

matter to a vote of the people. City
Attorney Hewitt was instructed to re-
port at the next council meeting. Coun-
Gilman Whiffen said:

rented quarters at an aggregate year
ly rental of close to $4,000.
at will require considerable expense
to fit UP these quarters, and in order
to form an idea as to the practicability
Of having the work done, would ask
that the city attorney give us an
opinion regarding whether the city hall
may be sold without the vote of the
people on the measure. In the event
the sale is possible, 1t would not war
rant US to eXpend great amount of
money in fitting up offices In the Tenn
pie block"
Councilman Andrews voiced disap-
prevail of selling the present city hall
site through any technically, since the
people had voted the sale down.
Councilman Gregory said:
"If it was known that the city hall
property could be sold without the vote
OF the people 1t would at once bring an
influx of bids. know of one syndicate
that will offer a very high bid for the
site. 1 was amazed at the wonderful
opportunity to make city offices out of

mutual sufferers in a motorcycle-au-
tomobile collision on the evening of
Mach 3, were each denied damages
from the other in Judge Hervey's court

Ballerino, driver of the motorcycle
asked $3.50 for the loss Of several teeth
and many bruises. Crawford claimed
his automobile had been damaged to
the extent of 5000.
Ballerino's story was to the effect
that the automobile was going at
high rate of speed and turned to the
wrong side of the road. The other

and that the other ran into him. The
testimony of several patrolmen was
