Bring Threat of Initiative
From Representative
of Labor Council

OAKLAND, Aug. 2e.-Resolutions pre-
sented by the Oakland Church Fedora
tion to the city council this morning
urging that licenses of saloons in resi-
Dental districts be at once revoked and
that the remaining saloons and cafes be
closed Sundays caused E. HI. Hart. rep
resenting the Central Labor council, to
threaten the council with initiative pro-
ceedings IL the saloon reduction were
included in the liquor ordinance.
Hart, who is vice president of the CAL
ifornia State Federation Of Labor, said:
I'VE represent hundreds OF men who
will be thrown out of employment by
such move. Idleness breeds vicious
ness. But reformers are too hidebound
TO listen to reason. IL the liquor or
dinance proves too drastic we will file
an initiative petition. demanding that
the ordinance be submitted 10 the vote
of the people. This will cost the city
$4,000"
You would rather have the young
people OF the city exposed to the con-
tinual menace of the saloon in the home
districts, / suppose" retorted Carlos G..
White. attorney for the church fedora
tion, who presented the resolutions.
Resolutions opposing the reduction in
number of the saloons and the raising
of the license fee and the activities of
a nonresident vice commission were pre-
sented to the council by the Irish Amer
lean league.

sented to the city csHneil this morning.

WOMAN ACCUSES
TWO ATTORNEYS
F. P. Nutting and Beverly L,
Hodghead Charged by
Susan Mckenzie

Accusation of an attempt to loot an
estate Is contained in an action filed
in the superior court by Susan Nc
Kenzfe, executrix Of the estate of John
Jardine Douglas, against Franklin p.
Nutting. executor, and Beverly L.
Hodghead. former mayor of Berkeley.
The action includes petition for the
ecutor OF the estate and for an order
directed to him to make an account
ing of his receipts and disbursements;
also that Hodghead be not paid for any
services he may have performed as
counsel for the estate, this latter be-
ing based on the ground that Nutting
himself is an attorney and had no need
to employ outside counsel
In her petition Mrs. Mckenzie sets
forth that She was appointed execu-
trix of the estate Jointly with Franklin
p Nutting as executor. She says that
Nutting. without her knowledge or
consent, employed Beverly l.. Hodg-
head TO represent the estate and that
she has acted under their control and
advice as to the settlement of claims
brought against the estate.
The gist of Mrs. Mekenzie's COM
plant is that Nutting and Hodghead
have been making determined efforts to
sell the real property for $4,000, not
withstanding the fast that she, by ad-
vertising I'm the various newspapers,
has received an offer 20 81 600
The executrix therefore petitions
that the court issue an order to Nut
ting TO show cause why his letters of
administration should not be revoked
and that his power as executor be sus-
pended pending the investigation. She
also asks that Nutting be directed to
make an accounting to the court.
