STATE WITNESS
SAYS ATTORNEYS
DID NOT PROFIT

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23.--U.P)
w. I. Morrison and L. w. Beilen-
son, attorneys, although connected
with the former American Mort
gage company, did not receive a
cent for their services or profit
from their connection with the
concern, according to the testi-
mony of Abraham Ablow, a bond
holder.
Ablow, who occupied the stand
yesterday also, Is the first witness
in the trial in federal court of the
two attorneys, and five others,
charged with misuse of the mails
in connection with the collapse of
the concern.
The attorneys wanted $500 for
their services to the bondholders'
committee in bringing about a re-
ceivership of the Argyle apart
ments, Ablow admitted under
cross-examination of John Perry
Wood, attorney for Morrison, but
they offered to let the Los Ange-
les Bar association decide whether
it was proper fee.
Th bondholder also testified that
A. j. Showalter, former co-receiv-
er of the company. and one of the
defendants, had paid $1,000 in tax
es on the Argyle place after he was
appointed receiver to prevent its
foreclosure and sale.
This testimony was adduced to
fortify contentious of defense coun-
sci that receivership was the
only recourse for the difficulties ex-
perienced by several of the mort
gage company properties.

direction; which rules, of course,
would be in conformity with the
general law.
9. The supervisors would be CIV
en- authority to suspend from Of
flee any official against whom is
commenced any action based on
official misconduct or an offense
involving moral turpitude or infa-
nous crime. I1niS is an extension
of power beyond the present, in
as much as the board can suspend
only in ; the event charges involv-
ing misconduct in office, are
brought against the county treas
urer.
10. Provision would be m d e
whereby the functions of munich
pal corporations and public corpor-
ations might be performed by coun-
ty officers and commissions, when
lawfully requested to do so. This
would minimize duplication of ac-
tion in the various public offices.
II. Provision would also be made
for county coming, by zoning
commission, putting into operation
the purpose of the zoning law, en-
acted in 1929.
IL. A provision would also be
made preventing the employment
of relatives in office, subject how
ever, to certain notifications.
There are other matters still to
be considered, and details as to
many of the foregoing matters
have not, as yet, been completed.
Nothing in the proposed new
charter would effect the tenure of
office of any of the elective Off
GERS in the county, serving at the
time the charter would go into
effect.
