OFFICIALS ARE
UNCERTAIN Who
: HAS AUTHORITY


A matter brought to the atten-
ton Of the city ofiicials yesterday
Afternoon BY T. B. Reidy, member
Of the city planning commission,
has caused considerable confusion
- to which Of the city commission
ers II vested with authority to take
up the case.
Mr.. Reidy said that there are =
. number. Of downspouts from build
inss that allow storm water to flow
directly on the sidewalks, causing
icy spots, dangerous to pedestrians.
= Mr.. Rsidy said that he has found
tina. the situation prevails in al
most every part of the city where
there are business buildings, and
pointed especially to the Second
avenue business district. where he
said that water from downspouts 10
responsible for 70 much ice on the
sidewalks.
~rTesterday afternoon Commission
Sr Martin T. Rudgren looked up the
city ordinances and found that the
city laws prohibit placing Of down
spouts where water flows over side
walks. This morning Commission
or Rudsren said that the matter
comes under Commissioner Will
liam H. F1txsimmons' department,
~ he ID in charge Of public health
and safety.
Commissioned Fitzsimmons. how
ever. claimed today that it is not
within his Jurisdiction to act, say
ing that the matter comes under
the department Of Commissioner
Frank WITCH, in charge of the de-
partment Of streets and public i'm
provements.
Commissioner Fitzsimmons' con-
tention is that downspouts are not
{ par. Of plumbing and therefore
not In his department as only the
plumbing and electrical inspection
work are under him and all build
ings come under the Jurisdiction of
the city building inspectors office.
which in turn Is under the super
vision Of Commissioner Wich.
Commissioner WITCH this morning
was not certain just under whose
department the matter falls. How
ever, the problem is whether down.
spouts are parts of buildings or
plumbing. II downspouts are
plumbing Commissioner Fitzsim-
mons says that the matter comes
under his department..

Jury Holds w. T. Riley
Justified IN Staying
w. B. Randall.


". T. Riley, charged with murder
in connection with the death OF W
B. Randall. oil stock broker. on June
90. at Mesa avenue and Texas street
was acquitted by jury in the s4th
district court Thursday evening. The
case went to the jury at o'clock in
the afternoon and the verdict was re-
turned after five hours elaboration.
Judge W. D. Howe. Of the s4th dis
trict court, delivered his charge to
the jury al Il o'clock Thursday morp-
ing.
The Riley case IS one Of the most
interesting murder trials in the re-
cent criminal history Of FL Paso. The
events which led to the killing in
volved q long list Of business trans
actions In which the sale Of oil stock
is the outstanding feature.
Throughout the trial. the defend
ant made no denial Of having killed
the oil broker, but claimed that his
act was justified inasmuch as Ran
dali had robbed" him Of his '1ife's
earnings" and then threatened 10
take my life" The principal basis
for defence as put forth by Riley's
attorneys was that the defendant was
justified in killing Randall because
OF the fact that Randall swindled
Riley out Of his home and Threatened
TO take the defendants life"
