that a watch had been kept all night,
but that nothing had been seen on ac-
count OF the ClOudiness OF the weather.

and the tail were in contact. The most
we can say is that We do not know.
The only way we Will be able 10 tell

May 2o.-Dr. George Hale and mis- as
tronorers at the Carnegie Solar Obser-
vatory discovered when the moon set
this morning at 2-25. to their amazement
that the comets tail appeared in the
same relative position as It was yester-
day morning.
They stretched from the northeastern
horizon up 10 the Milky Wav. fainter
than Yesterday morning. but brighter at
the horizon. DR.. Hale was unable to ad-
vance a hteory that viii satisfy himself
as TO whether the earth has passed
through the tail OF the comet or not
There are three possible explanations
OF the phenomena observed" said DR.
Hale IF we are now in the comet s
tail we could not see L at all II We
were through IL, il would seem that II
would be IN a different position one
possible explanation Is that tr- comet
has two tails. II We have passed
through one, curved tail. we might
see the second and smaller 5ug in
the position in which these sJraamers
are beheld."

heavens would have been easily mis-
taken for II.
Away out in Wisconsin, where insur-
gents surge and conservatism is gen
orally persona non grata, they have
introduced a new wrinkle IN the comet
bushes. At the Yerkes Observatory
they have had the tail pass between
the cart. and the sun. Prof K. B.
Frost, u charge. saw spectrum OF
light across the face of the sun. He is
unable to give a definite conclusion
as 70 the cause Of the spectrum, but
he says he knows Of no other reason
than that the tail was responsible.

MAYOR MUCH PLEASED
BY VICTORY FOR BONDS
Alexander Says City Is Now in a

Mayor Alexander expressed much
pleasure at the Federation luncheon

Dor and power bond election. He was
one of many who went to hear the
address before the federation of DR..
w. e. Tilroe, pastor of the Boyle

had been announced to be the speaker
of the day.
Mayor Alexander said:
Los Angeles is now in a class by
itself as to public utilities. 1t mas an
asset guaranteed by these power bonds
such as no other city of its size. The
harbor bonds also mean much for the
great city of Los Angeles. We now
have the opportunities we desire.

you wanted a clean, moral town. l
have tried to make it as near that as
| can. / have great faith in the citi-
zenship of Los Angeles and it is an
honor to have part in its govern
ment. My ambition is that when called
to leave | may have the knowledge
that l have done some good.
"A big town should develop utilities
based on the best interests of the citi-
zens at large" said Rev. Mr.. Tilroe,
in the course of his speech on the
subject, "A Big Town" Los Angeles
has more of the clements of a great
city than probably any other. 1t is a
city of achievement. You had the
first electric railway in the United
States and you are continuing along
progressive lines with your water, har-

DECIDE FRANCHISE NOT
NECESSARY FOR TUNNEL
Bore on Frontage Requires Only
Excavation Permit

No franchise for a tunnel or conduit
in a street is required when the per-
son boring the tunnel does so in the
street in front of his own property
was the substance of report maze
bv CITY Attorney Hewitt to the board
of public works yesterday.
The report was rendered on the ap-
plication of the Hamburger Realty and
Trust company for a permit 10 pore
tunnel in Broadway to connect the
Hamburger department store Dulldlhs
and the Hamburger theater. Mr.. HeW-
lit rules that the only permit required
is an excavation permit and that no
franchise is necessary
While the tunnel in question is a
short one the opinion OF the city at
torncy is far-reaching, for 1t means
that any number Of tunnels can be
constructed in the streets so long as
the publfcs easement is not Jeopar-
died Should the city want to bore
tunnel of its own or lay sewers or
underground conduits of any kind the
Drivate tunnel would have to give way
If the two interfered, but as long as
they do not these private tunnels may
be constructed.
Mr.. Hewitt bases his opinion on de-
cisions rendered by the state supreme
court. which hold that the city does
not own the streets in fee, but that
they are owned by the abutting prop
ertv and the citys only interest is an
easement. The owner of The abutting
property has as much right to do what
he pleases in the street as he mas on
his own lot.

ADMINISTRATOR SEEKS
HEIRS TO $4,000 ESTATE
Neither Daughter Nor Sister Of
Late Arthur F. Marsh
Can Be Found

Heirs to an estate valued at $4,000 are
being sought by Public Administrators
Frank Bryson without success because
of the remarkable facility of the late
Arthur +. Marsh in keeping quiet as to
his relatives during his eight years
residence in Los Angeles.
Marsh was for a number of years
salesman for the Union Hardware and
Metal company. He died April II, leav-
ing a will which awarded his estate to
an infant daughter, Leola Marsh, and a
married sister, Mrs. Bessie Squires, the
widow not being mentioned.
The little daughter was supposed to
have resided at Rice Lake, Wis, in
care of W. w Mussen. Marsh's wife
was formerly a Miss May Mussen of
Lodi. Wis. His sister was believed by
the deceased to live in st. Louis, but so
far the public administrator has been
unable to locate any of these relatives
at the addresses given or elsewhere.
