WILL VETO ORDINANCE
HOLDING OSLER THEORY
Mayor Contends Age Does Not
Necessarily Incapacitate
Flagmen at Crossings
Tf the council passes an ordinance
prohibiting the employment of men
ovi r 50 years old as flaermon at street
( rosßings it will be promptly vetoed
the minute it reaches the mayor. May
or Alexander made this statement in
is) positive manner yesterday. He
i.« 7fl years old and strongly repents
any insinuation that a man of !iO years
has passed his point of efficiency. The
mayor believes in some standard of
efficiency, but thinks it should be
placed on the basis of physical ability
and that age should not figure.
But it is not likely such an ordi
nance will be passed by thn cnnneil
although the legislation committee will
make such a recommendation to that
body today. Tho recommendation Is
I on a report of tho public util
ities commission that fkismn'ii be not
more than 60 years old end bo com
pelled to tako the same physical ex
amination that oth^r etnp'oyea In the
operating department of railroads musl
stand.
The matter of tho ag-e limit wt«
withdrawn by the board nf public util
ities yesterday after consultitlm with
officials of tho Pacific Electric. Santa
Fo and Salt Lake roads. Tlw board
will give it further consideration and
report on this matter In two weeks.
But whatever may bo the report of
the board and whatever may ultimate
ly be the action of the council, tho
mayor must finally be reckoned with
and he stands firmly against any or
dinance that places an age limit on
any workman, provided he is efficient.

yesterday when he discovered that a
petition was being circulated and had
already been signed by hundreds ask
ing the commission to appoint him as
park superintendent. Mr. Randall stat
ed that he was not a candidate for the

News of the Courts
LEGALITY OF VERNON
ELECTION CONTESTED
A. J. Drury Seeks to Have Recent
Vote Taken on Exclusion
Declared Void
Election laws of the state were
thoroughly threshed out In Judge Moss 1
court by attorneys in th« trial of the
suit of A. J. Drury aß.iln.st the city of
Vernon to establish the status of an
election hold in that municipality re
cently.
Drury'* complaint is that In an olrv
tlun March 7 to declilo on the exclusion
of territory in which he owns property
the vote of tho people of Vernon stood
io against exclusion and It for exclu
sion. Twenty-nine ballots wen- cast,
and when tln> votei came to be
vaiaed by th« city officials four votes
against exclusion were thrown out,
making the election for exclusion.
Drury prays that the order making
lection effective be set asldi by
the court on the ground that the votes
thrown out were », rood votes. .1. J. Fur
long, answering the complaint on be
half of Vernon, asks that the Informa
tion be set aside on the ground that
thi i Is no such firm or corporation as
tli, e;ty of \ i rnon, and if there is. that
there was no service of a summons or
complaint.
Furlong also presents a demurrer to
omplalnt to the effect that the
court has no Jurisdiction in the matter, :
that the plaintiff has no legal capacity
tn sue, that the complaint is not full of;
sufficient facts to warrant an action
and that the plaintiff fails to charge
mlsi onducl on the part of any person,
Inally that the complaint fails to
show who the defendant Is.
Both the motion and the demurrer
tli" subject of a wordy contro
versy in court, and mo.-t of the ■ !
tinii^ held in recent years were cited
by the plaintiffs or de
torneys. Judge Moss finally took the
itlons in hand and the case was
submitted to him, with the prospects
Of further ar«um>Mits next Monday.

TEXAS COTTON BROKER
HELD IN $7000 BONDS
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Nul
lified by Second Complaint
Judge "Willis of the criminal court
yesterday dismissed the writ of habeas
corpus on behalf of A. D. Hudspeth,
the Texas cotton broker who Is being
held in the city Jail on the charge of
swindling a Galveston banking firm out j
of $20,000, application for the dismissal
being asked by the prisoner's attorney,
who had learned that a second charge
had been sworn out against their client.
The first claim against Hudspeti was !
that he is wanted by the Texas author
ities, and the second that he is a fugi
tive from Justice. He was arraigned
on the latter charge in Judge Freder-
Ickson's court early yesterday ruid held
on $7000 ball.
The filing of the second charge
against Hudspeth prevented any habeas
| corpus proceedings from becoming ef
fective. More light on the cause of his
arrest was also shown In the second
complaint. It was shown that W. L.
Moody & Co., bankers of Galveston,
Tex., who handle big shipments of cot
ton, are the complainants." The bank
ers charge Hudspeth with fleecing them
in a cotton deal, which is alleged to
have been discovered on March 15, and
when the defendant was sought for It
was found he had left the previous day
for the west.
Hudspeth's hearing is set for April 6
