SETEBAXCE STILL PROD DING
C, Severance has Mcd another communi
cation with the city clerk in which he rips
tlie various members of the council up and
down for some of their alleged shorteom
inßH. The writer does not mince words,
using sarcasm and quoting poetry and
science with no sparing hanu. Addressing
the members of the council as "fellow cit
izen, public servants and gentlemen," Sev
erance says:
Your continued silence on a question of
such great importance as the violation of
a state law, to-wit:the riding on a free
pass, which carries with it the penalty of
forfeiture of office, makes it necessary for
further remarks on this subject. This is
not a personal matter thai concerns me
alone, but hundreds of you fellow citizens
who have seen this public charge made
against you are asking if it is true; and if
false, why you do not deny it. It is
an easy matter lo insert a card of ex
planation or denial in the city papers, and
thus remove, if riusaible, a charge that no
man of character or morals would cares to
have hanging over his head. Are you so
indifferent or so far removed from any re
gard for pubiic opinion that you remain
silent, or does that silence convey the
query to the people, which Boss Tweed ex
pressed in words when bis corrupt and un
lawful actiuns were discovered: "What
are you going to do about It?" I wish to
remind you again that the positions you
hold do not make of you autocrats, and
every time the sun seta another day has
vanished from your period of office hold
ing, which, when ended, will probably
complete your political careers, though it
is understood that some of you cherish the
fond but delusive hope that the office of
mayor will bs (Ivan by the people. Men
LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY - MORNING. MARCH 19, 1896.
who pose as the guardians of "public
morals" should haveclean bands and clean
records, and while you have assumed such
duties and branched out as would-be
creators of Sunday laws, artillcial crimes
aud a paternal system of government,
many are wondering where you got the
idea you wero elected for any such pur
pose. Though quite familiar with all ques
tion* that cnmo before tho public during
tlie last campaign, memory can resurrect
none that had any reference to such
tilings. You were placed in office for no
such purpose, and outside the error you
entertain iv so thinking, what a travesty it
is on law and justice for a nody of men
publicly accused of violating a state law —
who refuse to deny the charge and
proclaim their innocence—to tie seen
enacting laws to regulate tho acts and
conduct of their fellow men. The pass on
which you, gentlemen, have been charged
witii riding has printed upon it in conspic
uous letters these words: "Not to lie shown
any person." Why not to be shown? Be
cause it is a badge of infamy and evidence
of unlawfulness; and that councilman
who would accept and use such a pass re
veals at once that 5 conts, that little insig
nificant nickel, is more highly valued than
bis honor anil his regard for state laws.
Assuming, as I must, for none of you de
ny the charge, that it is true, I must say
that it makes my blood boil to think that
such men have the temporary power to
put in the chningang. and imprison in a
lousy and ill-ventilated jail, their fellow
men, whose only crime is poverty that
compels them to sleep in a hay stack,
freight car, or on somebody's private prop
erty in land. I do not wonder that anarchy
is raising ita head in these United States,
when we see such rottenness and corrti[>
tion among our lawmakers and their total
disregard for law s which they expect others !
to respect and obey. That corporations |
expect a return for all favors given goes j
without saying; and the fact, if it is one,
that your honorable (?) body received a I
pass from the Electric Railway company,
snows that you expected to meet the cbli- |
gatiori under which it placed you. The J
men who do tho manual labor on our
streets never receive passes from railway
corporations; yet they, too, are the ser
vants of the people. Why do they receive
no passes? Because they have no power
to give corporations favors. The giving of
franchises, or tho power to compel street
railroads to Keep the streets in proper re
pair along their routes, is not in tiie hands
of these men; therefore, their needs
for free transportation, which are greater
from the salary view than a councilman's,
art? never, never relieved by corporations, i
Having seen so much complaint in tbe ]
daily papers regarding the bad condition of
our streets along certain lines of our car
tracks, I am led to ask, though the charge
of impertinency may attend tiie query in
your opinion. If there is any esoteric con
nection between your 5-cent passes and
tie dilapidated condition of some parts of
our streets. Do not all rise at once, gen
tlemen, in your haste to reply, for the an
swer of one will be sufficient, and I will I
guarantee him a vote of thanks from the
general public when the information is
given.
Further reflection on the personnel of
your committee on "public morals" leads
to an increase of wonder in what their
peculiar fitness for such a delicate duty
lies. Have vainly searched from top to
bottom the catalogue of the saints, but no
where appear their names or those of
their ancestors. Tlie idea of hereditary
right and possession of needed qualities is
.hereforo not made apparent ; and if they
have ever been acquired it will require the
aid of Roentgen's cathode rays to reveal
that fact.
In the interest of science, and more par
ticularly the welfare of our morals, 1 re
spec, fully ask that these three eminent
statesmen on paternal lines, submit to the
test. The danger that attends the efforts
of neophytes or incapables to properly
rcgulato our morals, is too great to be dis
regarded. Wo must know beyond all
doubt that their abilities and qualifications
will never fall short of all requirements.
And now gentlemen, in conclusion, if
the charge made against yon is untrue,
deny it with your affidavits. If it is a fact,
however, then please resign your offices
and show by so doing your willingness to
conform to a state law.

IMPORTANT LAND SALB
Mcnlo Park to Be Subdivided and Placed en
the Market—Mr. Easton Talks
Messrß. Easton, Eldridge * Co., the
prominent San Francisco and Los Angeles
real estate firm, with offices at 121 South
Broadway, have just completed the negoti
ations of a sale which calls for more than
passing attention.
The property referred to is the 100 acres
of the Briswalter tract, fronting on Adams,
Washington and San Pedro streets and
Central avenue; 2000 feet on Adams
street, 2000 feet ou Washington street, a
similar frontage on San Pedro, and 1300
feet on Central avenue. Certainly a mag
nilleent piece of property, and one of the
few large tracts still unsubdivided within
the city limits. The street work is to be
done immediately, and within.thirty days
100 of the Ms will be put upon tho market
at private sale, ottering the choicest home
sites to be found anywhero in the city.
The property fronts on tne magnificent
boulevards of Adams and Washington
streets, and with the cross streets curried,
graded and sidewalked, it will certainly
present one of the most attractive proposi
tions for subdivision sale that has been of
fered in this city within the past five years.
The syndicate who purchased the tract
are San Francisco people and have in
structed Messrs. Easton, Eldridge <V Co.,
naming the tract "Menlo park," to subdi
vide a portion of it at once, beginning with
that portion fronting on Adams street.
The terms of sale, the firm state, will be
made their U6ual terms of one-quarter cash
and the balance during a series of three or
four years witii 8 per cent interest on de
ferred payments.
The closing of these negotiations follow
ing so closely the bountiful rains of the
past month, indicate the tone of the market
and certainly presents a fair prediction
that we will have an interesting and active
market in realty matters within the next
six months.
Outside capital is always an advantage
ous feature to introduce into a growing
city like Los Angeles, and the more of it
the better, but it seems to us that if outside
capital can alford to take up and handle
these propositions and find profit in them
in doing so, that many of our enterprises
aud investments in the bands of outside
capitalists could have been taken advan
tage of by our local capitalists with advan
tage to themseives as well as to tlie city.
However, we welcome any capital from
whatever source it comes and congratulate
Messrs. Easton, Eldridge & Co. ou having
completed a negotiation of the magnitude
of this.
Mr. Easton, on being interviewed, con
firmed the reported sale, and further stated
that negotiations for tlie sale of Chino were
progressing in a satisfactory manner.
"These negotiations iv England," said Mr.
Easton, take a long time to complete, and
the warlike messages that have been pass
ing to antl fro between the nations of the
world, have given the English money mar
ket a decided quietness so far as foreign
investments are concerned, though money
was never cheaper than it is there today,
and in ten years there has not been a
greater plethora of money than is there at
the present.
"A little more confidence, or rather a lit
tle less feeling that trouble may break out
.somewhere, involving one or more nations,
is all that is needed to set this money into
circulation and have it seek avenues for
investment in this country, to which Eng
lish capital is already attracted, and their
immense holdings now only serve as an at
traction for the investment of farther cap
tal in this country."

LAND AND WATER VALUES
EXPERT TESTIMONY IN THE HEADWORKS
CONDEMNATION SUIT
The Lsnd Worth About $ioo Per Acre, While
the Water Is Valued st $iono to $1000
Per Miners' Ir.ch-Supreme Court Opinion
Received for Filing
The trial of the case of the city of Los
Angeles vs. A. E. Pomeroy and John D.
Hooker, a suit to condemn 307 acres of
land on the Providencia rancho for water
works headworks, was continued belore
Judge Shaw yesterday.
Almost the entire day was taken up with
the hearing of expert testimony for the de
fendants as to the value of the land In
question for agricultural purposes, antl
also as to the value of the water which it is
supposed can be developed upon it.
Among the witnesses examined were John
A. Plrtle, Charles M, Parker, James Clark,
W. H. Andrews, Gharlei Gorman, George
E. Franklin, M. R. Lopez. E. Bouton, 11.
Nicholas, C. C. Brown and W. N. .Monroe.
These gentlemen all practically agreed
that the lantl was worth for agricultural
purposes about $100 per acre, but lew
putting it below that figure. As to the value
of the water that might be developed, that
was variously estimated at from $1000 to
$2000 per minor's inch.
Tlie city nlso haß a number of expert wit
nesses to put on, and these will probably
put their values a great deal lower, as it is
one of the contentions of tbe city that the
land is practically valueless, except for
the water that may ho developed upon it.
The hearing of the case will be continued
todey.
The Negro Alley Case Decided
The decision of the supreme court in the
caso of L. N. Bigelow, plaintiff and re
spondent, vs. liartolo Balferino, defendant
anil appellant, reversing the judgment of
the lower court and remanding the case
for trial, was received at the office of the
clerk yesterday for filing. Tho opinion iB
written by Justice Henshaw, concurred in
by Chief Justice Beatty and Justices Har
rison, Garoutte, Van Fleet and Temple.
Justice McFarland dissents.
This is a case involving the title to Negro
alley in Chinatown. This alley was and
for many years has been a public street.
It extends northerly and southerly, and
plaintiff and defendant owned frontages
upon it, plaintiff on the west and defend
ant on the east side of the alley. The mu
nicipal authorities vacated and abandoned j
Negro alley when Lob Angeles street was
opened through on tlie west, but the east
lino of Los Angeles street aud the west line
of Negro alley, while in closo proximity,
did not coincide, there being left a narrow,
wedge-shaped strip of land between
the lines of the two streets After
the vacation of the old and the establish
ment of the new street, the defendant as
serted the right to a frontage upon Los An
geles street corresponding to that whicli
he has enjoyed upon Negro alley. Acting
upon this claim, he encroached upon and
took possession of so much of Negro
alley and the wedge-shaped strip as lay
between tbe linos of his property extended
and the east line of Los Angeles street.
Plaintiff then commenced this action to
quiet her title to tlie wedge-shaped strip
aud the western half of Negro alley, con
ceding to defendant the ownership of the
eastern half thereof. The court holds
that lSalleriuo is entitled to all the rights
he formerly enjoyed in Negro alley, among
which is included bis easement in the
piece of land which is a part of Negro
alley, and which is claimed by plaintiff.
Though the fee of that piece is decreed by
the court to be in plaintiff, she is not en
titled to exercise any action of dominion ,
over it tn derogation of Ballerino's rights.
Her title to the wedge-shaped strip lying
without the alley and her right of posses
sion and dominion over it is absolute
against i Sailer inn.
Pleaded Not Guilty
In the United States district court yester
day a motion to quash the indictment
against J. F, Janes, the publisher of the
Non-Partisan, charged with sending an
obscene publication through the United
States mails, was denied. Janes then en
tered his plea of not guilty and the case
was set for trial April 28th.
The federal grand jury is still in session.
Court has adjourned to Friday, when it is
thought that a report will be presented.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings
In the matter of the habeas corpus pro
ceedings of Jesus Moreno, convicted of
misdemeanor in the city justice's court.
Judge Smith yesterday granted the writ on
the grounds advanced, that sentence had
been passed on the defendant while he was
absent from the court room. His honor,
however, remanded Moreno to the custody
of the sheriff, to be taken before the trial
court for such action as was thought
proper in the premises.
Sustained the Demurrer
Judge York yesterday gave an opinion in
the case of the city of Los Angeles vs.
Louise Naud et al., sustaining the demurrer
of the defendants. This same action was
taken in the cases of Jacob Adloff and
John Hauerwaas. The suit grows out of
the proposed widening and extension of
Ash street, from Chavez street to Alham
bra avenue, which defendants are opposing.
Arraigned
In department one, before Judge Smith,
yesterday William Clifford and Thomas
Harvey were arraigned on a charge of
grand larceny. They will plead on the
21st.
George Robinson, charged with burglary,
