PASS ON FIGHT FILMS
Tribunal to Consider Validity of
Ordinance Barring Depic-

To test the ordinance by which it was
made unlawful to exhibit in Los An
geles county the moving pictures of the
Jeffries-J johnson fight at Reno, New,
July A. the matter will be taken to the
court of appeal by q writ of habeas
corpus.
This is the result of Il. A. Byrne and
r. c. Talbot being charged with Grim
inal conspiracy against the morals of
the public by the alleged attempt to
show the film of the fight at Arcadia
August 20.
Their cases have been in the courts
for months, several continuances being
granted before demurrer to the COM
plant against Byrne was filed in the
superior court. Judge Davis yesterday
oVerruled the demurrer and called the
case for trial.

Federal Supervision but Not

MORGAN MAN C0NTRADICTED
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Robert S.
Lovett, successor to Edward II. Harrl-
man as president of the Southern Pa
o;flc and Union Pacific railroads, told
the railroad securities commission to-
day that he was in favor of federal
supervision of railways, but questioned
the wisdom oe or the necessity for fed
eral laws to govern the issue of railroad
securities.
The present status of the railroads,
harassed on all sides by conflicting
state laws, was bad, Mr.. Lovett said,
but a further conflict of state and fed
eral laws was d possibility from which
he hoped to be delivered.
Judge LovettS testimony was in di-
rect opposition to that of Francis Lynde
Stetson, counsel for j. p. Mrogan q
Co, and rated one of the foremost cor
poration lawyers of the country. When
the latter was on the stand last week
he told the commission that rates were
of purely local interest, and he would
prefer to see the great railroad sys-
TENS ended at state boundaries, there
to connect with other systems, rather
than to have them come under federal
control.
Judge Lovett did not see that rates
had anything to do with dividends in
actual practice, or that the government
should have any concern in what kind
of railroad securities the public bought.
In twenty-five years experience he
had not met with an instance in which
rates had been changed to affect inter-
est payments or dividends, Judge Low
ett said Therefore, there was no need
for regulation of securities as q control
OF rates. AS for thep ubic, he said, as
long as the individual was left free to
speculate as he chose in wildcat snares
he need not be specifically protected
from the railroad.

8 VACANCIES IN WATER
COMMISSION DUE SOON
Appointments Will Give, Mayor
Alexander Control of
the Board

One of the most important duties
that will devolve on Mayor Alexander
next year will be the appointment of
three members of the water commiS-
sion. The terms Of John r. Mathews
and John II. Norton expire in about
two weeks, and w. D. Stephens, pres
ident of the board, will resign before
he goes to congress March 4.
The Importance Of the situation IS
due to the fact that the three new
appointments will put the control of
the water board entirely under the
present administration, as three mem
bers constitute majority of the
board. One of the men to be appoint
ed must also be suitable to act as
president oe the board, position that
pays $4,000 a year and requires practi-
cally all the time of the man who oc-
cupes the pc Stion.
Major II. T. Lee and r. f. Del Vale
will be the holdovers on the board.
Major Lee was appointed to the board
by Mayor Alexander,
Two appointments must also be made
on the library board. The terms of w.
C. Patterson and 1. B. Dockweiler Will
expire February 90. Mr.. Patterson was
appointed by Mayor Alexander to fill
the unexpired term of H. w. O'Melveny
and may be reappointed, but there is
no close harmony between Mr.. Dock
weller and the present administration,
and Mr.. Dockweiler expects to become
a private citizen after February 20.
He has been on the board for many
years, having been reappointed every
time his four year term expired, and
he has been controlling force in the
library work.
The term Of D. H. Laubershimer on
the civil service commission will eX-
pire February and a new man must
be selected by the mayor to take his
place,

BOARD OF WORKS REFUSES
EASEMENT COST FOR SEWER
Water Must Take Natural Course
in Country Club Park

Believing the Country Club park is
cXorbitant in its demand for $5175 for
a 20-foot easement for storm sewer
purposes across it's land, the board of
public works will build the storm
sewer without buying the easement
and dump the water down on the
property of the County Club park, let =
ting it take it's natural course through
the Arroyo de la Brae,
The city wanted the right to lay a
storm drain through the property OF
the Country Club park from Gramercy
place to the Arroyo de la Sacatela, d
distance of about 1900 feet, and sup
posed 1t could have the right of way
for nothing, or at most nominal sum.
The city engineer told the board that
it was evident the Country Club park
intended to construct storm drain
the entire distance of it's property be-
cause a section OF $50 feet was con-
structed little more than year ago
at a cost of 81 a foot, which would
have made the Improvement cost about
SIS, 900. Now that the city intends to
construct the sewer the Country Club
park wants to be paid.
