GARDENA VOLUNTEERS
NEED NEW ALARM BELL
Merry TinkIing Of Present Warning

Is Statement Made by Chief

The merry tinkling Of the Gardena
fire alarm bell seems to soothe the
nightmares of the volunteer hremen
of that district. 1t sounds to them
like the pretty chime bells in music
box, so they sleep on.
Chief Van McCarrell has figured 1t
out that one of these fine days rip
ping big blaze will happen and the
fire bell will send the whole depart
ment into long, blissful doze. What
he wants is a bell that will get them
out of bed in time to break some
windows before the framework burns
up AS the result of his recommenda-
tions the fire commissioners yesterday
voted to give Gardena a new bell.
The commissioners also approved the
nav of the Hollywood volunteer fire.

Municipal Affairs
PLANT MAY ASK
FOR REELECTION
RESIGNS FROM COUNCIL BE-
CAUSE OF PROTEST
Will Be Eligible May is and May Run
If Primary Is Not Held in
the Meantime

Richmond Plant may be reelected
to the city council, from which he yes
terday resigned on receipt of notifl-
cation from his personal attorneys, An
derson &c Anderson, that he was in
eligible to hold office.
According to his statement he will
be eligible May 15 of this year, and
should it happen the special election
for the purpose of filling the vacancy
made by his resignation not be held
until that date the people may re-elect
him to the city council.
Under the charter provisions the
city council must call a special nomi-
mating election to choose two candi-
dates for the vacant office. Later
there must be another special election
to elect one of the two candidates. This
is the Interpretation placed upon the
provisions by City Attorney Hewitt 1t
is admitted. however, should the sec
ond election be delayed until May Is
Mr.. Plants eligibility for nomination
might be knotty technicality for the
city attorney to wrestle with.
Mr.. Plant has not stated he would
be a candidate If eligible. He does not
believe the matter will hold over so
long. "Should it be delayed to May
49, he said last night, "I should then
be eligible for office. Whether 1 should
take advantage of that do not care to
say now"
The proposed suit of Francis Har-
rington to test Mr. Plants right to
hold the office of councilman chal-
lenged his eligibility on the ground he
registered in Santa Monica in 1908 and
voted there in the primary election.
The notice Of the proposed suit
served on Mr.. Plant yesterday con-
tanned two prayers of relief: First,
that he relinquish his seat in the coun-
Gil, and, secondly, that Henry Lyon,
whom he defeated for the council and
given the seat. The attorney of rec
ord in this suit is lawyer in whose
office, it Is understood, Lyon is study
ing. The latter prayer is necessarily
uuashed by the provisions of the char
ter. In any event Lyon will probably
be a candidate for the vacancy.
Interviewed at his home last night,
Mr.. Plant declined to discuss the cir
cumstances which led up to the vigor-
GUS attack upon his eligibility. "I will
only discuss known facts" he said. He
limited at no injustice done him. SO far
as these facts are concerned. at is
too bad that the city has to be put to
the extra expense of holding another
election on a mere technicality," he
said. "I have been here eight years
and here 1 have maintained by resi-
dence. I do not feel the slightest Ill
will toward any one for what has hap
pened.
'Of course I am satisfied I am ineli-
gible, although such thing never oc-
Cured to me until l saw my right
questioned in a newspaper short
time ago. When my attorneys told me
that under the strict Interpretation Of
the law / could not hold office | did
not wait for the suit to be brought. l
don't want to hold any Office to which
I am not fully entitled, much as l re-
gret relinquishing my seat in the city
council. 1 wish to thank the public
for the confidence shown in electing me
to this office"

News of the Courts
MRS. DRIGGS TO
GET NEW TRIAL
ATTORNEYS EFFORTS ATTEND
ED WITH SUCCESS
Application Made to Release Woman
from County Jail on Bail, the
Amount of Which Will
Be Fixed Today

The success of Attorney Paul w.
Schenck's efforts to secure q new trial
for Mrs. Gertrude briggs was assured
yesterday when notice was received
that the supreme court had denied a
rehearing of the application for q sec
ond trial by the appellate court At
torney Schenck will apply to Judge
Davis of the criminal court today TO
fix bail for the release of Mrs. briggs
from the county Jail, where she has
been confined for several months.
Mrs. briggs was convicted in August
after a long trial on a charge of utter
ing a forged lease to property belong
ing to the estate of the late John j.
CharnoclS. She was sentenced to five
years in San Quentin, and Attorney
Schenck took the case to the appellate
court on Judge Davis denial of mo-
ton for a new trial.
The appellate court rendered its de-
cislon about two months ago, grant
ing a new trial on the ground that GER
tain evidence was permitted which had
no direct bearing on the case and would
tend to influence the minds of the
jurors against the accused woman.
This decision was carried to the su-
preme court by Deputy District Attor-
ney Ford, who applied to that body for
an order directing the appellate court
to again hear an argument on the mo-
ton for O second trial. This applica-
tion was denied yesterday.
"As the case now stands" said Attor-
ney Schenck last night, Mrs. briggs
is in the position of a person who has
never been tried and she has a. constl-
tutional right to be admitted to bail.
l expect to ask Judge Davis to fix the
amount of this bail today"

JAMES WARD BEING TRIED
ON ENLIGHTENMENT CHARGE
He Is Accused by Man Who Says He
Deposited Bond When As
sured of Position

The trial OF James Ward, manager
Of the Ward Investment company, on
a charge of embezzlement, was begun
before a jury in Judge Willis GRIM
inal court yesterday. Wards accuser
Is Alfred Sidler, who came to Amer
lea from Switzerland early last year
and arrived I'm Los Angeles about the
middle of November. November Is,
he said, he called at Wards Office in
response to an advertisement for
man to work on a ranch.
"The position was taken by some
body else" 1 was told" Sidler testi-
fed, but Ward offered me another,
which, he said, would require a cash
bond of $780,"
Sidler gave the money, representing
almost his entire resources. He was
placed at work listing real estate in
small town, but became suspicious
when Ward failed to answer his let
ters and returned to Los Angeles, de-
nanded receipts for his money from
Ward and says he was given two
promissory notes. He did not discover
the nature of these papers for sew
eral days, when, he said, his demand
for the return of his money was re-
fused by Ward and the latter's arrest
followed. The trial will be resumed
today.
