THE VOICE FROM OHIO.

An effort is being made to start a
boom for Governor Judson Harmon OF
Ohio for president. The powder
seems wet, however, and the guns
have little resonancy. He was re-
nominated by reclamation, OF course,
by the democrats of his state for gov
arnor. His election as such Will
strengthen his chances for the presl-
Dental nomination, but even then he
has before him kind OF forlorn hope,
q disorganized mob we may say, to
fight his battle. 1t does not seem
possible to us, to get the democratic
party in shape under present leaders
to make respectable fight. The two
factions of that party are as widely
separated as those Of the republican
party, land there is no health in
them" They are split over the very
same issues, and one is as hopelessly
split as the other. There is positively
no hope of getting the democrats
united on certain issues. Those who
bolted the party in 1896 are the ones
who now seem to be attempting to
run affairs, and dish out the campaign
soup, at least that is SO in Virginia,
and we presume it is so in most other
states. These leaders have never re-
gained the confidence OF the people,
the masses, the real body Of democrat
ic voters. When party undertakes
to establish itself under the leader.

KEEP MOVING, LAWYERS,
SAYS JUDGE BORDWELL
Presiding Law Dispensers Re-
port Shows Big List of
Damage Suits

Records in the court of Judge Bord-
well, the new presiding judge of the
superior court. show that department
nine, over which he presides, has for
the past four months been veritable
legal factory for damage suits.
Since the first of the year demands
for damages aggregating $2,000,0O0 have
been heard by him and jurieS in his
department UP to the end of April
damages to the amount of $66, 414.3O had
been awarded. principally for injuries
to complainants or members of their
families.
Forty damage suits were tried dur
ing the four months before Judge
BordweI, averaging about three days
or a little less to each case. Night
work, to finish up slow cases and to
await jury VerdictS, was ordered by
his honor on twenty occasions.
So methodical has been the manner
in which Judge Bordwell has carried
out the work of his department that
he is gaining quite a reputation in
court and law circles as jurist who
knows the game from A to u. Attor-
neys who conduct cases before him
also know that he knows the law. and
when Bordwell takes up any point in
an argument there is generally very
little argument, because he scores his
point convincngly.
1t is commonly spoken in and around
the court house that the new presiding
Judge is unsurpassed in Southern Cali
forna in regard to his knowledge of
the law, and attorneys who juggle with
legal points to gain their ends in some
departments seldom try juggling be-
fore BordWell, because he hands out
the law in a manner which makes some
fairly smart attorneys feel like 'cubs. !"

HEFTY HUMPHREYS MAKES
NOISE LIKE PROFESSIONAL
Public Works Inspector Gives P.
E. LaborerS the Run from
Poor Paving Job
nCut it outl Beat It'll"

CuL IL Out! betL II!
w. ii. Humphreys, inspector OF puphc
works, hurled something like that at
gang of asphalt workers who were lay
ing pavement for the Pacific Electric
on East Ninth street yesterday morn
ing, and when they heard the big
boss" speak they hurriedly followed
directions. Mr.. Humphreys is pretty
close to the seven-foot mark, with an
arm on him like trip hammer, and
when he issues orders something has to
be done.
Just to see there wouldn't be any hes
itancy about stopping the paving work
when he said so. Mr.. Humphreys had
City Engineer Homer Hamlin, who Is
pretty husky himself, and two police
men with him.
The inspector of public works has no
objection to asphalt pavement-in fact
he is strong for it-but when it is done
he wants it done right, and the Pacific
Electric was not doing the work ac-
cordng to law; therefore Mr.. Hum
phreys decreed it must stop until such
a time as it would comply with the
law. Humphreys is peculiar that way.
He doesn't seem to have any more re-
gard for big, rich corporation that is
, trying to evade the law than he does
for a private citizen.
April IL the board of public works
issued a proclamation to the railways
that hereafter the board would expect
that all pavement laid on the rights OF
way on public streets would be laid
according to law. which requires the
same kind of work on the railway por-
tion as it does on other parts of the
street This involves the laying of a
cement concrete base of five inches, and
the railways prefer an asphalt concrete.
1t costs less, and they say it makes a
more elastic roadbed.
The Pacific Electric seemed to get the
idea the board was issuing proclama-
tions for joke, and went on laying
its asphalt concrete.
This was reported to Mr.. Humphreys
yesterday and he stopped the work.
The board will ask the council Tues-
day to adopt a policy for paving rail-
way rights of way. If the council
wants to stand for the asphalt concrete
the board will ask it to amend the
ordinance, but as long as Humphreys
is on the job the laws that come under
his jurisdiction are going to be en-
forced.

Are YOU Getting
FuH Weight Ice?

You can answer this question with
absolute certainty, if you are taking
ice from the "Orange Wagons" We
have devised a method by which our
customers may KNOW that they are
getting just what they pay for.
No need to go to the bother and
real work of weighing the heavy, slip
perry block of ice on the scales. We
supply our customers, upon request,
with free Measuring Rules and Tables
of Weight. They can determine the
weight of the ice by merely measuring
the block and consulting the table.
This puts all possibility of Short
weighting" out of the question.
Another Improvement that we haze
made in our ice service is the coupon
system. We supply our customers
with convenient coupon books, good
for a given amount of ice.

We no longer sell ice for cash.
When the driver delivers your ice he
takes the necessary coupon. That
ends the transaction.
This does away with the former
necessity of making change, always
having money in the house-and it re-
duces the possibility of error in check
ing up ice bills to a minimum.
Coupon books may be purchased for
cash, at discount, or may be
charged to your account, as you pre-
fer. our customers have found them
a great convenience.
Our service is superior - accurate
and painstaking. Our drivers are men
who appreciate how much courtesy

BUMP ON DOME WITH PICK
FAILS TO FELL LAB0RER

Bernard Hansen, a laborer who has
been in the employ of the street de-
partment for several years, was acci-
dentally struck on the back of the head
by a pick in the hands of a fellow en-
ploye named Burke, yesterday shortly
after noon, while repairing pavement
at the corner of Seventh and Hill
streets. He was not felled by the blow
but walked to the car with the assist
ance of his fellow employees and went
to the receiving hospital, where an ope-
ration was found necessary to remove
the pieces of broken bone. No serious
results are looked for, as it was not
believed that the inner skull had been
fractured by the blow. He was re-
moved to his home after the operation
by Police Surgeon Zerfing.

potency in doing so was raised in the

feature of the case was that the father,

COURTS CUT OUT KOW TOW
AND GET DOWN TO WORK
Judge WiIbur'S Report for Term
as Presiding JuriSt Filed

Judge Wilbur's report of the work of
the superior court of Los Angeles coun-
ty during his incumbency as presiding
judge of the twelve departments was
filed yesterday, and shows that $685.
civil cases were filed for the year end
ing May 1. OF these, 1923 were divorce
suits. There were 4S6 criminal cases,
SOB examinations of persons for insan
ity and twenty criminal cases under
the contributory clauses of the juvenile
court. In the juvenile court 6S5 new
cases were handled and 1923 hearings of
Old cases.
The report shows that there are four
times as many cases handled by the
twelve departments as there were
handled ten years ago by the six de-
partments. In spite of this fact,~which
shows that the courts handle twice as
many cases to each judge as they did
ten years ago, there is less congestion
at present. The conclusion drawn is
that modern court methods are speed
ier and less formal than previously.

WRECKING OF WRECKER

Southern Pacific officials yesterday
Investigated the cause of the collision

occurred Friday night between switch
engine and a wrecking train. The
equipment was much damaged and
piled up like scrapiron, but no conclu-
sions were reached yesterday as to the
direct responsibility for the accident
1t was learned however, that the
wrecking train had been to Florence
station to replace an engine on the
track and was returning to the yards
when it ran into a switch engine. The
latter, of course had first right to the
track if proper precautions were taken,
which the railway officials will deter
mine. A statement probably will be
made Monday.

that receiver be appointed and that
