CHARTER BOARD
IS ORGANIZED
THE COMMISSION PLAN FINDS
FAVOR WITH MEMBERS
Work of Forming New Rules for Gov.
ernment of Los Angeles Will
Be Carried On Quite
Rapidly
With six of the seven members pres
ent tho now charter revision commis
sion appointed by the council last
week, met in the council committee
room yesterday al'ternoon and organ
ized. They were called to order by
City Clerk Lelande and J. A. Anderson
was elected temporary chairman.
Charles Wellborn was elected tempo
rary secretary, but he held tile position
about thirteen seconds as B. O. Kdger
ton, secretary of the Municipal League,
was elected permanent secretary.
A committee composed of F. G. Fin
layson, l. R. Hewitt and Dr. John it.
Haynes was appointed on permanent
organisation and order of business.
The commission will meet Tuesday and
Thursday nights of each week until ita
task of training a new charter is com
pleted.
Tho commission Is composed of
Leslie H. Hewitt, Lewis K. Works,
Frank G. Flnlayson, W. B. Mathcws,
Dr. John R. Haynes, James A. Ander
son and Charles Wellborn.
While none of tho members of tho
commission lias expressed any of the
ideas they intend to incorporate i:i
the new charter, it is well known that
several of them favor the commission
form of government and it is expected
that something of this nature, either
in whole or in a modified form, will be
the res*ult of its labors.
It will be the duty of this commis
sion to frame a new charter and then
tho council will call an election for a
board of freeholders composed of fif
teen men who will take, the results of
the labors of this temporary .commis
sion, and, if they approve them, submit
a completed charter to the people for
adoption.
The necessity for a temporary com
mission to precede a regularly author
ized one is due to the fact that for
revision purposes the charter itself, as
it now stands, limits tlio time the
board of freeholders has to frame the
charter. For this reason much of the
work must bo done before it can bo
submitted to a freeholders' board.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25, 1910.
Municipal Affairs
LIPS 'SPANKED'
TWICE IN DAY
FIRE COMMISSION AND MAYOR
REPRIMAND CHIEF
Head of Department Obtains Leave of
Absence and Attends Prize
Fight, According to
Alexander
Walter Lips, chief of the lira depart
ment, was verbally "spanked" by the
fire commission at its meeting yester
day morning, and then to make it
pleasant for the chief, he was privately
spanked by Mayor Alexander.
Commissioner Hawiey brought up the
matter of the Croigor fire alarm sys
tem and criticised Lips and F. W.
Frankhouser, superintendent of the bu
reau of police and firo alarm, for not
doing more to assist in having the
system Installed, He characterised the
attitude of Lips find Franhouser as
"masterly inactivity."
It is well known that neither Lips
nor Frankhouser has any particular
use for the Creiger system. Both are
strong advocates of the existing (Jame
well system and do not want the city
to install finy other.
Lips declared the entire matter was
up to the council, and he had nothing
to do with it, but Commissioner Maw
ley and other members of the commis
sion considered that Chief Lips mi^hl
assist in hastening: matters if he chose.
The commission directed Secretary
MeKong to notify the council that the
commission la being severely criticised
for failure to Install more fire alarm
boxes in districts where they arc
needed and urge the council to tal;e
immediate, action to install the Creiger
boxes.
The little interview between tho
mayor and Chief Lips was on an en
tirely different matter. A few days
ago Lips secured the mayor's consent
to take three days oft and go north to
attend to some private business. Lips
had himself apointed a deputy BherlfC
and took a prisoner to Ban Quenttn
and then went to San Francisco, where
he attended tho Nelion-Wolgast fight.
Tho mayor considered this a breach
at faith and tuld Chief Lips so most
emphatically.
CALLS FIREMEN HEROES;
SAYS EQUIPMENT POOR
Battalion Chief John Q. Todd made a
report to the fire commission yesterday
morning on the fire at Third street and
Wilton place last Saturday night, in
which he described the bravery of the
Bremen who did their best to conquer
the flames with no facilities and
pointed out the nei<d of lire hydrants
and alarm boxes in that portion of tho
cfty. Three houses were destroyed at
a loss of $12,000 because there was no
fire hydrant nearer than thirteen
blocks and no line of hose in the de
partment could reach that far. There
is no alarm box nearer than twenty
five blocks and the alarm was sent in
by telephone.
The iiremen had to do the best they
could with garden hose and by forming
bucket brigades. Battalion Chief Todd
spoke especially of the bravery of Cap
tain Bruflat of engine company No. 13,
who worked with a garbage can on his
head as a protection against tho heat,
and of Lieutenant Young of the came
company and Police Officer W." C.
Schrader, formerly a member of the
fire department, who worked on the
roofs of the buildings with no protec
tion from the heat.
MAYOR TELLS CHINESE NO
GAMBLING IS ALLOWED
Mayor Alexander yesterday disa
bused the minds of a number of Chi
nese of the impression that gambling
may be resumed in Chinatown.
Some one, whose name the mayor
will not divulge, has been circulating
tho rumor that the administration
would permit gambling in Chinatown
again if tho gamblers would pay him
$100 a month.
The mayor's Scotch was stirred to
its roots when he learned of this ru
mor yesterday and, accompanied by
Chief Galloway, Sidney Keeves, as
sistant city prosecutor, and Police
( Commissioner John Topham, went to
Chinatown yesterday afternoon, where
about 100 of the most prominent Chl
iH hul assembled.
The mayor told them that gambling
would not be tolerated.
TO CLEAN CHINATOWN
The board of public works and the
city attorney were yesterday directed
by the council to advise that body
what steps will be necessary to force
streets and alleys througli Chinatown
by condemnation in order that that sec
tion of the city may be kept In some
tiling like a sanitary condition. The
streets and alleys of that part of the
section are now all privately owned
and no sowers exist in the place, as it
is Impossible to construct public sewers
on private property.
CITY NEEDS HOSE
Secretary McKeag was yesterday In
structed by the fire commission to call
;i conference between the building
committee of the council and the com
mission on thejnatter of the erection
of several proposed lire engine houses.
The council was also urged to purchase
the 12,000 feet of fire hose asked for
by the commission as scion as possible.
This hose is needed and it will require
about seventy-five days after the con
tract is let before it can be delivered.
NO LEGISLATIVE MEETING
The legislation committee of the
council failed to hold Ita usual weekly
meeting last night. There was noth
ing "f importance for the committee
to consider except the various ques
tions of policy which have been re
ferred to It, and as the members of
the committee had to attend a council
■eulon early this morning they con
cluded they' could best serve the city
by getting a little sleep.
DISCUSSES LICENSE ORDINANCE
The council spent more than two
hours yesterday afternoon in taking
up tho new license ordinance presented
by C. M. Taggart, city tax and licenso
collector, section by section and clis
,ii : mj; every phase of it. As the or
dinaec* contains seventy-seven sec
tions, each more or less Important, the
council was not able to conclude its
work yesterday, and will resume at 9
o'clock this morning.

News of the Courts
AUTO ACCIDENT
TRIAL DELAYED
WITNESS TO FATALITY MAKES
CONFLICTING STATEMENTS
His Description of Movements of Two
Cars Does Not Agre with the
Statement Made at
Inquest
The conflicting statements of Justus
W. Taylor caused a material delay In
the progress of the trial of C.
Abrams on a chargo of involuntary
manslaushter in Judge Davis' criminal
court yesterday. Taylor was an eye
witness to tho killing of Isaac L. Low
man by an autoinotylo near Seventh
and Alvarado streets July 2, 1909, and
in his testimony on direct examination
apgerted the automobile driven hy
Abrami wai lorna distance behind an
other automobile, and that both ma
chines appeared to be engaged in a
race. The Abrams machine, he said,
wa« on tho wrong side of tho street
when Lowman was struck.
Lo Compte Davis, attorney for
Abrams, called Taylor's attention to
the fact that he liad stated s.t the in
quest the day following . Lowman's
death that the two automobiles were
Close together when they passed the
place of his observation. Taylor ex
plained that the change in his testi
mony was due to a later study of tho
affair, and that he was laboring under
some excitement when lie testified at
the inquest.
The importance of Taylor's testimony
may be gathered when it is known
that the contention of the defense is
that Abrams was compelled to swerve
to the left by reason of his fear that
the other automobile would collide with
the rear ond of his machine, and that
it was while trying to avoid tills ac
cident that his car struck Lowman.
Andrew M. Brown, 9GO Park View
avenue, said ho was in the vicinity of
the accident, that he saw one automo
bile only, ami that it was traveling at
an extraordinarily high speed, so rapid
ly, he added, that he ran to the street
corner in anticipation of an accident.

Brought Against State Sena
tor Savage
" Evidence Is being presented to a jury
in Police Judge Rose's court In the
criminal libel case of T. B. Gibbon
against State Senator W. H. Savage.
The jury to try the case was completed
late yesterday afternoon. The libel
complaint was issued last May, and the
charge concerns utterances of Savage
in the state senate at Sacramento Feb
! ruary 15, 1909. Savages-speech was
published In the journal of the senate,
and when copies of the journal were
received here through the medium of
the mail Savage was accused.
Samuel Travers Clover, publisher and
editor of the Graphic, and T. W. Rob
inson, librarian at the 1..03 Angeles
county law library, testified they had
! received in their mail copies of the
senate journal which contained Sav
age's speech. Attorney A. M. Norton,
called to the witness stand by Attorney
B. J. Fleming, who is a special prose
cutor In the rase, said he was in at
tendance at the session of the senate
before which Senator Savage gave ut
terance to the alleged -libel.
Many objections to the testimony of
these witnesses were Interposed by the
three atorneys defending Savage, but
they were swept aside In most instances
by the magistrate. The taking of evi
dence will be resumed this morning.
