President of City Council Exposes Glaring
Wrongs Which He Declares Should
Be Remedied Immediately

that those subordinates, many of them.
are men whose conduct should be
looked into. Now, I should like very
much to have the council refer this
whole matter to the committee on
streets and boulevards, with instruc
tions to investigate these conditions
thoroughly and report them to the
council. And if there is no objection
on the part of any member of the
council, the order will be made that
this whole matter bo referred to that
committee.
"Is there any objection?
"There Is no objection, and it is so
ordered.
'•There is another matter I desire to
call to your attention, that has been
brought to the attention of the police
commission. You know that the or
dinance of this city provides that any
one applying for a license to estab
lish and operate a saloon shall secure
the consent of a certain proportion of
the frontage property on the block on
each side.
Called Contemptible Graft
It has been asserted, and- I understand
proved In gome Instances, that some of the
large real estate dealers of this city have

- Now, If that be true, and some of our
c-ltizeiis are resorting to that sort of thing,
It to a most contemptible species of Kraft,
••nil it Is in violation of the terms of the
ordinance which, of course, contemplates
the willing consent of the property owners
themselves.
"Strangely enough, although that
matter was brought to the attention
of the police commission, it never has
been made public. No newspaper in
this city has ever mentioned it, al
though the newspaper men were cog
nizant of the fact, and I think the
newspaper. reporters would have been
•willing enough to write up what they
' call "a story" with respect to it. But
we are directly interested in that ques
tion, and that is another matter that
I should like to have investigated, and
I should like, in the first place to ask
the police commission to report to us
the names of the real estate firms in
this city who have been doing that
sort of thing, so that the matter may
be brought to the attention of the pub
lic.
;,?</ .■'•'■ Publicity Helps
' "One way to overcome and destroy
these evils is to make them public,
and I think every good citizen should
be willing, and every newspaper that
Is advocating good government here
ought to be willing to expose these
conditions.
"I should like to ask the council to
call upon the police commission for in
formation on this subject, so that we
may deal with it.
"There is another matter I think
ought to be brought to your attention.
There are a good many commissioners
here on the various commissions, who,
I understand, are absolutely neglecting
their duties; and that is particularly
true, I understand, in the case of the
library board — very important board,
too—and that members of the board
absent themselves from the meetings
months at a time and give very little
attention to it. I don't know how much
of an investigation the mayor has made
of these conditions. ' The duty to act
on these matters in the first Instance
rests upon the mayor; and if those
conditions exist men who are there
under those circumstances, not per
forming their duties, should be re
moved and somebody placed there who
"will perform their duties, and I think
it is our duty to call attention to those
conditions, bo that they may be Inves
tigated.

■ \ \ I / completely under

o«t fifty pounds in weight and was
almost out of my mind with pain and
chagrin as no matter where the irrita
tion came, at work, on the street or
in the presence of company, I would
have to scratch It until 1 had the blood
running down into my shoe. I simply
cannot describe my suffering during
those seven years. The pain, mortifi
cation, loss of sleep, both to myself and
■wife is simply indescribable on paper
and one has to experience it to know
what it is.
"I tried all kinds or doctors and

thrown my money down a sewer. They
would dry it up for a little while and fill
me with "hope only to break out again
just as bad if not worse. I had given
up hope of ever being cured when I was
Induced by my wife to give the Cuticura

Cutioura Remedies for a little while I
began to see a change and after taking

I desire to take up, and that is the
question of using passes by officers and
employes of the city. As some or" you
will remember, during the campaign I
took the position that those passes
were illegally issued and they ought
not to be used by any employe of the
city.
"After we were elected passes were
sent to me by the city clerk, and 1
refused to accept them and returned
them, giving my reasons in a letter
'that I wrote to him. I did not write
that letter for publication at all. I de
sired to allow each officer of the city
to determine for himself what his du
ties were under the circumstances, as
I did. But I understand now that some
officers or employes of the city have
referred this matter to the city attor
ney for an opinion.
"I don't know whether it was done
by any member of the council or who
did it. But if an opinion is to be asked .
of the city attorney IT SHOULD BE
ASKED BY THIS COUNCIL FOR
THE GUIDANCE OF ALL OF THE
MEMBERS—ALL OF THE OFFI
CERS OF THE CITY, THE COUN
CIL INCLUDED. AND THE EM
fLOI'EB.
Violation of Charter
"It is claimed on the part of some
that these passes are a part consid
eration or an addition to the salaries
of the- representative officers and so
treated. If that be so then it is a di
rect violation of the charter of the
city, because the charter fixes the
compensation of every officer or per
son in express terms, or that the em
ployes shall act without any compen
sation at all; and any indirect increase
of the salaries of the officers, by way
of free passes, is a violation of the
charter. «.
I desire to have this matter referred to a
committee of the council and the city at
torney for a proper investigation. It will
make no difference to me what the legal
opinion of the city attorney might be willi
respect to the matter, because, as a matter
of propriety and policy, 1 shouldn't carry
one of these passes whether it was decided
by the city attorney to be legal or not. Rut
other officers will take an entirely different
view of it, and they bare the right to their
view. Anil, therefore, as the opinion of the
city attorney has been asked, 1 think it
should be given. N
Billboard Case Reviewed
"There Is another matter with respect
to billboards that has been urged upon
this council time and time again. The
newspapers are full of it and we have
to recognize the fact, as has been said
here by the city attorney, that we can
not legally exterminate these billboards
by any direct or indirect action. If we
undertake laying heavy taxes against
them for that purpose and not merely
for the raising of revenue we would be
violating the constitution and undoubt
edly the courts would so hold, as they
have been holding all the time. If we
should undertake to regulate them and
it should show on the face of the ordi
nance that the purpose is to extinguish
them, the result would be the same.
"I think every member of this coun
cil, so far as I know, is anxious to do
everything he can to relieve us from
the billboards.
"But these newspapers that are us
ing their columns for that purpose may
bo used, and very effectively used, in
my judgment, If they will publish the
names of the .business men in this city
who are using these billboards for ad
vertising purposes and the people of
the city will let it be known tha,t they
are not going to patronize anybody
who does use them.
"If business men haven't civic pride
enough to advertise in some other way,
I think they can be brought to terms
in some such way as that. I would be
very glad if some means should be re
sorted to to bring about the result, and
it is a matter I would be very glad
to have the council consider.
Suggests New Committee
"I think there ought to be another
committee appointed by this council to
take up. these various vatters of policy
and other things that do not belong
distinctively to any one of the standing
committees. There should be a com
mittee on public welfare or something
of that kind to which matters like this
might be referred."
Councilman Andrews wanted to talk
lon the pass question and President
Works yielded the floor. Mr. Andrews
said:
"I am glad this matter is brought
up. I had these passes sent to me in
the first place when I was on the police
commission. They sent around books
of small passes or tickets, and I made
inquiry whether or not it was in the
franchise that was given to these com
panies—a provision of that kind. Of
course I wouldn't think of accepting
and I don't suppose any officer would,
as an act of courtesy, it might be
termed, or a complimentary ticket or
anything of that kind. I have always,
for thirty years, believed that anything
of that kind is simply meant as more
or less of an Inducement to favor the
company giving It. j But I found that
the franchises of these companies pro
vide for that.
Hadn't Read Franchise
"Now, I may be pretty dull in this
matter, but I regarded that— course
I haven't read the franchise—but I
Inquired of the legal department, and
especially when I got a pass from the
Pacific Electric company, which came
in an envelope marked 'Compliments of
the Pacific Electric company.' I said,
I don't take thai as a compliment at
all. If it were a mere compliment I
would have fired it back, as a matter
of course; but I understand that ii was
provided in the franchise. And I see
no difference, as far as I have been
able to investigate, In a matter of that
kind, between that and the franchise
providing that 2 per cent of the gross
earnings of the company belong to tho
city. If it was a matter of that kind,
why, I couldn't see any difference in
It at all.
"I read on the back of this, In this
way, and I interrogated the depart
ment with reference to it, "This la a
free pass, based upon no consideration
whatever,' and I refused to sign it,
and never have signed either of them.
I am using it simply because I under
! stand that the provision Is in the fran
chise, and if it Is in accordance with
the charter I will use it, and I will
use it very cheerfully at the expense
of the Los . Angeles-Facine company
or any other railroad company."
Thought It Part of Pay
"I understand you take It that it is
a part of your compensation?" asked
President Works.
"I take it this way," Mr. Andrews
replied, "that It is the idea that It is
taken that way, but Is, provided in
the franchise, then, the/ city is to be
presumed—l make that point, a legal
point—the city is to be presumed, when
it makes the compensation known of
its officers, that they know this fact,
that that is provided, and, hence, they
are a party to that. They might not)
LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNTNG, JANUARY 20, 1.01 0.
I In' willing to have taken that compon
si ami served. For Instance, my
self, as a councilman, if that provision
of transportation Is there, I am sup
posed to know that. A man is supposed
to know the law: and I take it, with
that understanding, that my transpor
tation is provided for."
President Works sharply responded:
"You haven't answered my question—
whether you regard it as an addition to
your compensation."
Mr. Andrews answered: "I regard it
aa part of the compensation, abso
lutely."
President Works continued: "There
is another thing I want to say In this
matter. There is no doubt the city has
lost a great deal in the way of com
pensation for these franchises, by rea
son of these provisions, because it has
cost these corporations a good deal of
money; and I have no doubt a' good
deal of money could be brought into
the city by surrendering this right—
which I think Is absolutely void—and
I think the corporations could not re
fuse to make some reasonable return
if they were relieved of this burden,
because I thnik, if the granting of
these passes is illegal, these franchises
are void, because they are granted
upon a void consideration.
Money Belongs to City
I think If the matter was taken tip with
the railway companies they would very
cheerfully contribute a sum of money to the
city treasury in lieu of tiie amount of money
they lose by granting these passes. And
that is a mntter, 1 think, if the i-oiiiu-11 con
sider the matter seriously, should be taken
up witli the street railway companies. My
Judgment is that whatever money comes
from these franchises belong* to the City,
and that it is entitled to it, and that M>
OTHEK COMPENSATION CAN BE PAID
FOR IT EXCEPT CASH.
In a letter to City Clerk Lelande
Judge Works defined the ground upon
which he denounced the acceptance of
railroad passes by city officials. The
chief reason is that the sate constitu
tion forbids any officer of trust accept
ing gratuities from corporations. The
city may not, Judge Works declarea,
override the constitution by granting
a franchise, making it possible for city
officials to accept railroad passes. That
if the railroads are indebted to the city
they should pay the bill in money to
the city, and not in passes to the city
employes, is the conclusion of the
letter.
COURT TO SOLVE
BABY MYSTERY
Wcman Declared to Be in Critical
Condition as Result of Report
That She Is Not Mother
of Four
In biblical times it required the mas
ter mind of Solomon himself to deter
mine the rightful possession of a single
infant as between two women claiming
to be the mother. However, it re
mained for Judge Curtis D. Wilbur of
the Los Angeles juvenile court tn sit In
judgment on the matter of quadruplets.
The judge will have that distin
guished honor tomorrow, when he will
be called upon'to determine whether
Mrs. W. W. Wilson is the mother of
four bi.bies claimed to have been born
Friday at the home, 2019 Magnolia ave
nue. All principals in the case which
has held the attention of the public for
the past four days have been sum
moned to appear at 10 a. m. and tes
tify. Humane Officer Reynolds served
the summons.
Those who probably will take the
Btand are: W. W. Wilson, the alleged
father; Dr. C. Lona Marsters. mother
of Mrs. Wilson; Dr. A. C. Pratt, who
was called in the case; Mrs. Lena
Hayes, the nurse; Mrs. Catherine
Smith, who has involved the contro
versy by her assertions, and Dr. Paul
Bresee, the family physician. Mrs.
Wilson can be represented only by af
fidavit, as she is confined to her bed.
Mrs. Wilson Critically 111
The report that the children were not
born to Mrs. Wilson has brought about
a strange situation. According to pub
lished statements. Mrs. Catherine
Smith, who has failed to secure official
permit to conduct a maternity home
at 717 Sunset boulevard, gathered the
four infants at various places at Mrs.
Wilson's request and now is seeking to
recover them. Dr. A. C. Pratt, who did
not arrive at the house until after the
alleged birth, asserts that Mrs. Wilson
is not the mother.
Mrs. Hayes, the nurse and adopted
daughter of Mrs. Smith, declares in a
signed statement given The Herald
that the infants were not "brought in,"
but were born to Mrs. Wi'son in her
presence. Mr. Wilson and Dr. Marsters
went before a notary yesterday and
made sworn affidavit not only setting
forth their unequivocable belief of the
birth at the home, but citing evidences
which are convincing.
Dr. Pratt's assertion that he secured
Mrs. Wilson's "confession" at the time
he was called not only was denied in
every particular by Dr. Marsters, the
patient's mother, but the latter de
clared she would testify to that effect
before any court, "and prove it." /
Incidentally Mr. Wilson »nd Dr. Mar
st.is are very bitter regarding-a morn
incc pnpor which they claim has been
responsible for the trouble and Mrs.
Wilson's serious condition.
To add to the complication Mr. Wil
son anil Dr. Marsters stated that Mrs.
Smith denied to each of them, at dif
ferent times and places, that she knew
anything of the matter published as
her direct statements regarding the
"gathering up" of the babies, but was
iorced to take action of some sort by
i reporter.
The entering of the Wilson home by
a reporter, accompanied by a man
purporting to be an officer, also 's in
volved, and the case, when reviewed
in Judcc Wilbur's court, promises to
be a succession „f rather sensational
stories and denials.
However, the only affidavits made to
date in the case are those of the Wil
son family.
Nurse Makes Statement
Whether Mrs. Smith and her adopted
daughter, Mrs. Ha s. will appear in
court cannot be stated, as neither could
be found yesterday. Mrs. Hayes, the
nurse, was asked by her mother several
times Monday to leave the Wilson
home, and finally went away, saying
she would return. Later she sent a
in. ssenger for her effects.
Her statement, voluntarily dictated
to a Herald representative and duly
signed previous to her departure, de
clares the children were born to Mrs.
Wilson.
In support of this declaration, Mrs.
Marsters, M. D., made affidavit. She
graduated OS an allopathic and homeo
pathic physiclan'in the '80s and prac
ticed regularly for'about twenty years
and until she entered Christian Science.
She is registered in four (tates.
In the affidavit Dr. Marsters recited
evidences to Justify her assertion.
Mr. Wilson, husband in the case, fol
lowed with an affidavit in which he
substantiated the nurse's statement
that he arrived a few minutes after the
births.
As in the MM '>f Dr. M: 1 raters, Mr.
Wilson also recites a number of evi
dences in support of his belief.
Mr:-. Marsttrs declares that the ap
pearau.e ol a reporter, ti deputy sheriff
and Mrs. Smith at the home had caused
a relupst: on the part of Mrs. Wilson.
