not be abused.
The ban on full street lighting is
still in effect, and will remain so
indefinitely, BGtler said.

in curtailing power use together
with. increased steam plant power

Federal courts especially, he de-
clared, have flagrantly abused their
authority and ignored the constitu-

Unjustly they crushed down the
constitutional rights of the working
men by issuing injunctions restrain

permits them to do,' the Independ-

Instead of honoring the sacred
heritage handed down to them by
the founders Of our government, they
have abused their power
| Opening his tour through upper
New York state, Wheeler levelled
his strongest guns at the allegations
set up by President Coolidge in
Baltimore. The chief executive at
that time said the attack Of the Pro

break down reverence for American
institutions.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. s.-Near-
lv a hundred men were today bat,
Ting a forest fire in San Gabriel
Canyon, the vicinity Of the blaze
which last week swept $4,000 acres
of brush covered land.
The second fire was first noticed

ports were that it is crossing Rob-
erts Canyon toward Fish Canyon.
The new blaze is-south of last
week s fire. The crew are attempt
ing to force the fire back over the
burned area, where it will die out.
{ PASADENA, Sept. 8.-Increasing
clouds of smoke, arising in the San
Gabriel Canyon district, were TAX
en- by Mount Wilson observers to-
day. to mean that the fire which
ragged there last week but was be-
lieved under control, has taken a
fresh start.
Training their big glasses on the
canyon, the observers reported the
smoke clouds so thick it was i'm
possible to determine the course the
new fire is taking.
PASADENA, Sept. S.-Appar-
emily famed by an east wind, the
new forest fire in San Gabriel Can
yon is moving westward, climbing
Monrovia point according to Noun:
Wilson observers this afternoon.
The fire is not visible, due to the
interception of the Monrovia water,
shed, but, judging by the smoke
rapidly increasing in volume, the
flames are about half way between
