NEW TELEPHONE RATES AS
ORDERED BY CITY COUNCIL

The city council yesterday amended
the telephone rate ordinance by order
ing reductions which will mean a loss
of $275,OOO to the Home and Pacific
companies.
As the result of this action the city
is now threatened with a big legal
fight, as preface to which John e.
Mott, attorney for the Sunset com
pany, and o. a. Trippet for the Home,
yesterday entered formal protests
against the adoption of the ordinance
on the ground that 1t was unconstitu-
tional and confiscated their property
without due process of law.
The council reduced the residence
rate of the Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph company for unlimited service
to 50, to correspond with the rate for
the same service fixed for the Home
Telephone company. The order was at
once taken to Mayor Alexander and
signed by him, and later in the day
published so that 1t can become ef-
fective July 1.
The reductions made in telephone
, rates will mean an annual loss of rev.
enue to the Pacific or Sunset" COM
pany OF about 100000, according to q
statement made to the council yester-
Gay by Meyer LisSner, president of the
board of public utilities. While, as
Mr.. Lissner said, there is no material
change in the rates for the Home com
pany over those charged last year, still
this company will lose about SITE, 900,
as that was approximately the amount
1t lost last year.
The action of the council in reduc-
ing some of the rates in Los Angeles
and Hollywood also increases rates al
San Pedro, Wilmington and Terminal
island, for the rate ordinance Is made
to apply to every part of the city.
San Pedro has been having a much
lower rate than Los Angeles. business
phones of unlimited service at San
Pedro have cost only $3.50 month.
but now they will cost SIS a month.
Representatives of San Pedro said
they were satisfied with this arrange
ment, as they expect to be connected
with other parts of Los Angeles with
out having to pay ;ong distance tolls.
The vote by which the ordinance
was passed was only sufficient to do
so, for Gregory and Washburn con-
sistently voted against every effort to
lower the rates.
A. B. Cass, president OF the Home
Telephone company, pleaded for a
schedule of rates that would allow q
business man or a householder to Sc
lect what rate he wanted to pay and
then have phone installed accord
ingly. He said that Newberry, Jevne
and other large retail stores received
1000 telephone calls a day and 1t was
not right to ask the little grocery to
pay $5 when that was all the big
dealer pays. He said he did not be-
lieve the rates proposed by the board
of public utilities would increase the
revenues of the phone companies to
any appreciable extent. but would
bring about an equalization OF rates
for all subscribers.
But the council had made up its
mind what it intended should be done
and finally passed the ordinance with
rates even lower than those proposed
last Saturday.

HABEAS CORPUS
RELEASE FAILS
Orrin l.. BeardsIey Secures Free
dom on $4,000 Bail Furnished
by Johnson and LoveIesS

Habeas corpus proceedings failed to
win freedom for Orrin L. Beardsley in
Judge Willis court yesterday, for the
reason that before the hearing was
completed a warrant was issued charg-
ing Beardsley with being a fugitive
from justice. Then Beardsley secured
two bondsmen and finally was released
last evening from the county jail on
$4,000 bond.
Beardsley was arrested at the re-
quest of Salt Lake authorities on a
charge of having mistreated Phyllis
Lynch a pretty stenographer Is years
of age Attorneys for the accused
man contended in the habeas corpus
proceeding that he was being held
without a warrant. Before the court
ruled on this point a warrant was
sworn out. B. II. LoVeless and R. b.
Johnson became his sureties.
SHE WAS sTENOGRAPHER
Beardsley was formerly connected
with the Irrigated Lands company of
Salt Lake City and his alleged victim
was employed as a stenographer for the
same company He paid her consider
able attention, it is claimed, although
he had a wife living in Los Angeles.
Two months ago he came to this city
and engaged in the brokerage business.
When the facts of his associations
with Miss Lynch had become known to
the parents, prominent people of salt
Lake City, they swore out a complaint
against Beardsley.
Sheriff Hammel received a telegram
from the chief of police of the Utah
city asking that Beardsley, whose last
address was 1927 Winfield avenue, De
arrested and held pending the arrival OF
Deputy Sheriff Corliss of Salt Lake
City.
Corliss arrived Monday morning by
xvav of Sacramento. where he filed
requisition papers. They were honoreed
yesterday afternoon. He arrived III
time to hear the application of Boards
lev for freedom by the habeas corpus
route and Immediately. placed the
charge against him Of being fugitive
from Justice, which the court sustained.
Beardsley's attorneys stated yester-
dav morning that they would demand a
personal hearing before Governor Gil
lett for their client. 1t is expected the
extradition proceedings will be fought
to a finish.

supervisors yesterday and stated that
West Adams street, for several blocks
east of it's intersection with Washing
ton street, is dangerous to traffic owing
TO many ruts. Chairman Nellis stated
that ten days ago the street was in
good condition, and attributes its pres
ent bad shape to its being traversed by
thousands of automobiles daily. The
street has not rock foundation, and
autos quickly wear 1t down. The board
will take immediate action toward hav-
ing the road repaired

the board to write to the owners of the

Supervisor NeIIiS Holds lndigna-
ton Meeting Over Bill from
Highway Commission

Joseph Scott and the other members
of the investigating committee ap-
pointed by the supervisors to probe the
charges made by the advisory commit
tee against the highway commission,
involving alleged mismanagement and
incompetency, yesterday resumed their
tour of the county highways, and re-
turned about o'clock last night, after
dusty and disagreetble auto tour.
The committee yesterday went out
over the East Main street road to
Watts, thence via Compton to Will
mington, and from Wilmington to Long
Beach and Naples, on the return trip
traversing the new Long Beach boule-
ward.
The committee tomorrow will inspect
the San Dimas quarry and the road
work in that vicinity, after which, 1t is
believed, the actual detailed investiga-
ton will be begun, and the committee
will take and consider evidence.
None of the members of the investi-
cation committee SO far will discuss
their work, and no statements will, of
course, be issued until the probe has
gone deeper
INDIGNATION MEETING
The board of supervisors yesterday
held a sort of Indignation meeting at
which, it is probable if the highway
would have been arraigned in no un
certain language for having let con-
tracts without the approval of the
board.
Should a real controversy or quarrel
ensue between the highway commission
and board of supervisors, as for time
yesterday seemed imminent, it Is be-
lieved by members of the advisory COM
mittee that the present investigation
will receive a decided impetus and that
some interesting facts may be de-
veloped.
The object was brought up yesterday
at the meeting of the supervisors by the
presentation of a bill from the Mer-
cereau Bridge and Construction COM
pany for $S6021 for the building of a
bridge or trestle at the Pacoima quarry.
Accompanying this bill was a COM
munication from the highway commits
sion stating that it had the trestle
built "to expedite the quarry work,
and asking that the bill be approved.
Chairman Nellis Immediately started
something. He insisted the highway
commission had no right to award such
contract without the consent of the
supervisors.
why should we approve it after the
work is done?'' he asked. 1.-THE time to
approve contracts is before they are let.
We should have asked for bids. How
are we to know that the trestle could
not have been built for less money!"
"Tuss" Eldridge was there to explain
the matter. He tried to smooth things
over for the highway commission, but
Mr. Nellis was not so easily reconciled.
II am not going to sit on. this board
as q figurehead for anybody" exclaim-
ed Nellis, angrily.
Eldridge Immediately moved that the
clerk notify the highway commission
that the supervisors would approve no
more bills that the board did not
authorize.
"They have already been notified of
that" said Nellis. "Whats the use?
They'll do the same thing again.
After some objections, in which Mr.
Nellis met with little encouragement,
the bill was ordered paid.
