TELEPHONE MAINS
ARE CUT BY POLICE
(Continued from Pare. One>
a death might result from the precipi- j
tant action of the council." :
At 10 o'clock last night a squad of
eight repair men were sent out from
the offices of the Sunset company In
Pasadena to reconnect the severed
wires. Chief of Police H. H. Favour,!
learning of this action, immediately
detailed reserve policemen to each oil
the street locations where the wires,
had been cut, with orders to prevent'
repairs by the use of weapons if nec
essary. In Mercantile place, where;
the wires are underground, the police:
with drawn clubs withstood the re
pair men who, finding a detachment!
of three well fed policemen standing;
on each manhole cover and brandish- j
ing their clubs, discreetly retreated to
the offices of the Sunset company.
Further attempts to repair the wires
were abandoned and the two thousand
homes cut off. by the cutting of the j
wires remained in isolation.
Cut Off from Fire Station
The entire section of the city south!
of the Hotel Green was cut off from I
communication with both the fire and
police stations. At the Hotel Carl
ton where the Sunset telephone is
used J. H. Summers became danger
ously ill and it was necessary to send
■ messenger to a nearby Home tele
phone to call a physician.
Protests from proprietors of Hie all
night restaurants flooded the mayor's
office until a late hour. These are
clearing houses of downtown informa
tion at night and the outcry was loud
and prolonged. Protests were made
by managers of sanitariums and hos
pitals.
COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE
SAYS COUNCIL IS UNFAIR
"The council has taken an unfair ad
vantage of as." said C. M. Seeley; su
perintendent of the Pasadena division
of the Sunset company, last evening.
•■1 have nothing to say in regard to the
decision handed down.by Judge fern-d
---well in the superior court this after
noon.
"In regard to the action taken hv
the Pasadena city council In cutting
our wires it appears to me that it
was. to say the least, hasty, unwar
ranted and savored more of vandalism
ran anything else. The council has i
taken a very unfair advantage of us,
as we had no time to advise it as
to our attitude, and absolutely no
warning was given us to its intend
ed action. As near as I am able to
ascertain the people of Pasadena are
indignant at the unwarranted action of
the council, although I do not believe
that either the council or mayor of
that city would take such action with
out legal advice. Nine mains have been
cut, which places in the neighborhood
of 2500 telephones out of commission.
As we have a large majority of the
telephones In use in Pasadena, the.
greater .art of the city Is entirely cut
off. over 50 per cent of our switch
board being useless. Over 900 working
wires are useless, including the who) ■
of the Altadi na district. A large por
tion of tho Pasadena fire alarm wires
are also connected with our cables, and
a large portion of the tire alarm sys
tem is necessarily out of order. Many
protests have reached me from resi
dents of Pasadena, and I feel that pub
lic sentiment is entirely upon our
side."
SUIT WAS BROUGHT TO
PREVENT CITY INTERFERENCE
Several months ago the Sunset Tele
graph and Telephone company and the I
Pacific Telegraph and Telephone com
pany, allied corporations, brought suit
against the city of Pasadena, in which
a permanent injunction to prevent the
city from Interfering with the main
tenance or operation of their system
under the terms of the ordinance which
became effective March 31, 1908.
This ordinance provided that it shall
be unlawful to erect or maintain on I
any of the streets of the city any tele
graph or telephone poles or wires for
use in doing local or interstate busi- '
ness without a franchise or privilege
therefor from the city; that all poles
or wires are declared to be public nui
sances, and that any person erecting
or maintaining them shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor and punishable there
for. .
The ordinance also provided that any
person maintaining or operating upon j
the streets any telegraph or telephone !
lines doing an interstate business must
pay semi-annually in advance 75 cents
for each pole, unless a franchise is first
secured thehefor.'
The suit was heard by Judge Bord
well during the last week of April and
was taken under advisement April 30.
Give* Written Opinion
The result of his work In reaching a
flecision is shown in aif except!,.;
lengthy and exhaustive written uplnion
upholding the validity of the ordinance
and of vital importance not only to
those directly concerned In the suit,
but also to other municipalities
throughout the state where similar
conditions prevail.
The telephone company, which con-
tended that the ordinance was void,
will, it la stated, appeal to the supreme
court on account of the Important is
sues involved.
The company declared it had the
right to occupy the streets with
and wires, because being a telegraph
as woll as a telephone company
having in 1597 accepted the provli
of the act of congress of July 24.
common]; known as the telegraph act,
a was permitted to occupy any of Lhe
highways within any state without thi
consent of the local government having
jurisdiction thereover.
Again it claimed it was engaged ii
interstate commerce, the control ant
regulation ot which is vested !::
United Blab ■ to tin- exclusion of st iti
or local govern! 1:
A third ground on which the compa
ny based its contentions thut it couk
not be interfered with was that it was
granted the right to occupy perpetual
ly the highways of this state by a sec
tion of the state laws providing that
telegraph and telephone companies ma>
construct poles aloni? any public roa<
or highway, and may erect poles am
wires in such manner as not to incom
mode the public use thereof.
Claim Contract Right
Further, the company's attorney?
said that Inasmuch as without objec
tion the company had occupied the
is of Pasadena before its incorpo
ration as a city, anil had continued si
.111 to the time the ordinanci
was passed, it still hail that right; an.
another reason for non-interference, i
tas stated, was the fact that the city
occupies apace in the company's
duits and upon its poles for wires use.
for municipal purposes, thus providing
B ontract right to maintain the t' le
phom which the city may no
abrogate.
Finally, it was declared, the amoun
required by the ordinance to he paid
for maintaining its poles is unreason
able.
Each and every ground upon which
the telephone company relied was con
tested by the city, and as n further de
fense counsel for the municipality in
ticed b franchise accepted by the
company in IsST for the erection anr
maintenance of ■ t< system it
the city streets and which expired In
years <-" Regarding the use by thp
city of the company's conduit, it was
shown thai special permission for this
pancy of the conduits and poles
was granted by the company in 1900.
and that the provisions of the ordi
nance were not altered thereby.
Regarding the telegraph work of the
company Judge Bordwell says the evi
dence shows that this business is com
paratively Insignificant, only one in
jl rumi ni ■■ , in use In Pasadena,
"The question whether or not the
[»uph .o ' elves to telegraph com
■ s the right to occupy the stre ts
of a municipality without Its consent."
.Indue Bordwell, "is not new to
the courts, and has been considered by
several state and federal courts, Includ
ing the sujih in'- < ourl of the United
States." He quotes several decisions
covering this point, and adds:
■■it |a iom cdi d m all hands th.il
after a telegraph company has ai
ed the provisions and acquired rights
under the telegraph act of 1868 and
has possessed itself of a ripht of w i
and Installed the Instrumentalities
necessary to carry on the business ol
raphy tl pexatlon of the busi
ness itself may not be Interfered with
nor controlled nor taxed nor in any
manner regulated by state authority,
but is entirely subject to federal con
trol."
The substance of Judge Bordwell's
decision on this point is contained in
the following paragraph:
Substance of Decision
"Tha supreme court of the United
s has taken a positive and definite
stend to the effect that neither the
federal government nor any creature
■ tee nor Uc< nse Of It can occupy
the public highwaj ' or mu
nicipal subdivision thereof without its
ent, or until compenratlon ii
made."
In California, he adds, the state leg
[stature has surrendered to its ell
nizel under the general laws, ju
r the Btr"»ts within it
borders. This jurisdiction, says the
t ourt, covers the matter of establish
ing grades and Improving streets fo
ordinary highway purposes, and
extends to thi I atlon of wha
shall be permitted to he placed tern
poranly in the streets for the aceoin
tnodatioti of individual citizens on oc
casions, as. for instance, during the
erection of public buildings."
Referring to the contention Of tl,
company that the charge of 76 rents :
po)e is -excessive, Judge Bordwell
If It Ifc competent for a city to ex
dude poles and wires of n telephon
company from its streets, then clear!
it is competent for the rlty to nam
the terms and require payment of sue]
compensation as seems proper for th
occupation of the streets."
The opinion ends with a decision in
favor of the city and r.n order dlssolv
ing the temporary restraining orde
granted at the time the suit was Hied

LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 1900.
SENATE DEFERS
INCOME DEBATE
ALDRICH REFUSES VOTE IN
ADVANCE OF TARIFF
TWO AMENDMENTS TO SUGAR
SCHEDULE DEFEATED
House of Delegates of Porto Rico Ar
raigned for Methods Adopted to
Secure Assent to Appro,
priatlons
fßy Associated Press.] ,
WASHINGTON. May IT.—By the de-
ClBlV« vote of fifty to thlrtv-three the.
senate decided today to postpone until
June 10 further consideration of the in
come tax in connection with the tariff.
Consideration oi the sugar schedule
ivaa continued, but after two amend
ments were voted upon the senate
switched to a discussion of the posij
bJHty of getting a vote on the Bailey
income tax amendment.
Mr Bailey argued forcibly for a vote,
but did not succeed In prevailing upon
tor Aldrich to concede one in ad
vance of the tariff schedule.
The two amendments 10 the sugar
schedule vote;) upon were those elim
inating the Dutch standard test and
lowering the duty on refined BUgar from
190 cents per pound to I.BBW cent* per
pound Both were defeated, the former
by a vote of 86 to 47, and the latter by
a vote of 32 to 53.
On th< lirst vote eleven Republicans
voted with the Democrats for the
amendment, but i>n the second only
seven Republicans broke rank.
It was considered somewhat signifi
cant that the two Louisiana senators,
Messrs. Foster and Mcßnery, the only
tors representing B cane sugar
producing stale, should have been the
only Democrats to vote with the Re
publicans on the Dutch standard pro
vision, and this was made the more
significant because of the fact that to
day for the first time the possibility ot
.1 sharp conflict between the cane sugar
and beet interests was indicated.
Mr. Cummins made this the text of
a lengthy speech. The cane sugar men
did not respond.
Mr. Cummins advocated the striking
out of the Dutch standard test and the
dill' rentlal on refined sugar. This ac
tion he thought would restrict the prof
its of tin- sugar trust anil thus cause
that institution to lose its domination 1
in the sugar trade, while, on the other
hand, the beet sugar makers would be
benetlted.
Proceedings in House
In the house today consideration of
the Porto Rican bill was resumed. Mr,
Douglas of Ohio arraigned the hmis"
of delegates of Porto Rico for making
ii a condition precedent, as he charged,
to its assent to appropriations that the
executive council or upper body aiiiv
to certain legislation.
"It amounts to revolution—nothin;;
. l«e," he exclaimed. He declared that
while revolution might be justified in
1 asei 01 oppression, there had been no
o] pression ii* Porto Rico. He defended
the bill.
Mr. Qarrett of Tennessee declared
that affairs were more in the bands of
the people of the island under Spanish
; rule than they were under the Forakfr
II- contended that the, Porto Rt
cans should not be compelled to bear
the expenses of their federal court.
Ti nnessee, he said, did not bear such
expenses, nor 'lid any other state. He
Mas reminded by several member*,
however, that p<>rto Rico got the ben
-1 lit of her customs and internal reve
nues.
Jumping from his seat. Mr. I.arrinaga
go< a round of applause when he de
clared that Porto Rico would be Willing
to surrender her custom duties ami
much more in exchange for rights and
privileges enjoy< d by tin- states.
"Give us some of those," lie ex
claimed, "and you will hear her
Washington a hurrah from Porto Rico
blessing this government."
Opposing the bill in its entirety, Mr.
Martin -of Colorado declared President
Taft should go slow in bis recom
mendations regarding that island. He
said that BOttie hope should be held out
to th< Porto Rleant that their condi
tions would not only be remedied, "but
remedied for their benefit instead of
for the benefit of a carprtbag govern
ment."
President Taft today sent a message
to coiisress renewing the recommenda
tion of President Roosevelt for nti ap
-1 roprlatlon for the participation of the
United States in the universal and In
ternational exposition to bp held In

FEAR POISONED
POTATOES SOLD
NEWS OF WHOLESALE ILLNESS
EXPECTED
Residents Apprehensive That Five
Sacks of Tubers Were Put on
Market and Disposed of
for Table Use
[Special to The Herald.]
ANAHEIM, May 27.— theft of
five sacks of potatoes which had been
dipped in corrosive sublimate has
alarmed every person in town, as it is
feared the thief may have .sold the po
tatoes and thai they may be pur
chased by a housewife. Citizens are
expecting daily a report of wholesale
poisoning.
The potatoes were dipped in the acid
by J. F.. Nothalf, a potato grower of
this town. He Intended to plant the
potatoes the next day, but during the
night an incautious thief made away
with the live packs and their contents.
Mr. Notlialf is more disturbed by
the thought of the sickness which
would be caused by the eating of the
potatoes than by his loss. He fears
the thief may have wanted the po
tatoes for table use.
The remaining citizens are less con
cerned with what may happen to the
thief than with the consequences re
sulting from the placing Of the vege
tables on the market here or elsewhere.
There is little fear of the acid-soaked
potatoes being- sold here, as purchasers
of potatoes, since the then was made
known, have insisted on knowledge of
the entire previous history of their
purchase.
It Is feared the thief disposed of the
potatoes either in Los Angeles or In
some other adjacent city. In that case
reports of the poisoning of whole fami
lies or of the illness of the entire patro
nage of some hotel or restaurant are
expected. •
