The petition to which s appended the signatures of 1-0 resi dents and property owners of the city is characterized by tho mayor as an effort of the Los Angeles-Pacific Rail way company to discredit the present administration by trying to make it appear that the council has passed an ordinance that cuts down the speed of its street cars to such an extent that the people are discommoded by the slow travel. "That petition is asking for some titling that ls vastly inferior to what StJa been created in the way of quick Jfcllway travel by the new ordinance. Had Mayor Alexander. "They want us Ing that an vastly inferior to what I been created in the way of quick lway travel by tho new ordinance, d Mayor Alexander. "They want us repeal an ordinance that permits HE. > cars to run at a speed of six miles wMk\ hour over crossings, twelve miles Hh hour in the business district and •Hwenty miles an hour in the residen * »ial districts and restore the old or dinance which only permitted a speed of four milea an lu-ur over crossings and eight miles an hour in the busi ness districts. "If the signers of the petition would carefully look at the two ordinances they would find that we have Increased the speed limit Instead of lowering it. The request ls made that we remove all restrictions as to speed limit. Not with my sanction will this ever be done. I do not Intend that the streets of Los Angeles shall be made a slaughter-pen, and that will be the condition If wo allow these motormen to run the cars without restrictions as to speed. '• . "This petition represents a political dodge to -discredit the present admin istration. After tho election It will be forgotten by the men that circulated it It Is reported to me that the Los Angeles-Pacific railway is ordering its ear crews to run at a speed no greater than six miles an hour all over the system, whereas they are allowed to run at a maximum speed of twenty miles an hour in the residence dis tricts and at a speed of twelve miles an hour in the business district." Meyer Llssner, president of the board of public utilities, says that the new ordinance should be considered by the public as vastly superior to the one now in effect, as it allows quicker street car travel. He says it is the same regulation as that applying to the speed of automobiles ln Los Angeles. It was evolved after a test upon a speedometer equipped car of. the Los Angeles railway over the street rail : way lines and agreed upon by the members of the council, the city at torney, the board of public utilities and the chief of police, who attended ': the -___ . r...'.V SLAYER OF FELLOW NEGRO SEIZED IN RIVER BED Detective Captures Fred Young After Dash in Auto A quick run of the chiefs automo bile and a sprint of two blocks by De tective Talamantes late yesterday afternoon resulted in the capture of Fred Young, a negro, in the river bed, a short distance south of the Seventh street bridge. Young was taken to the central po lice station and locked up on a charge of killing Charles Smith, also a negro, who was shot to death at Ninth and Lemon streets shortly after 11 o'clock Tuesday night. The police have been working on the case since the body of Smith was found in the street shortly after the shoot ing. As a result of the Investigations made by the detectives Information was obtained that led the officers to believe the alleged murderer would cross the river bed and make his way to the home of friends. The chief's auto was pressed Into service and a fast run was made to the Seventh street bridge. Detective Talamantes saw a man making his way across the dry bed and sprang out of the auto and ran toward him. The hunted man evidently did not see the officer and quickly threw up his hands when the detective stuck a gun in his face. ■ .■ - * Young said he and tj»e dead man had quarreled over a woman and he shot Smith when the latter sought to attack him with stones. Smith was shot in the back, just below the right shoulder-blade. The bullet entered his right lung and his death was due to hemorrhage. The coroner will hold an inquest over the body. 9__E DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS GOING-BUT POLICEMAN DID "I Don't Know Where I'm Going, but I'm on My Way" sang. William Hoffman, 65 years old, as he lurched from side to side of the sidewalk while making his way north on Hill street last night. He carried a small box strapped across his shoulders and ap peared to be quite happy. Patrolman Toomey heard the song and then noticed the condition of the singer. . "I'll show you where you are going," said Toomey. "Come with me." Hoffman was taken to the receiving hospital. Police Surgeon Wiley found that Hoffman was suffering from an overindulgence in liquor, but was able to navigate after a certain fashion. ■ "You won't get rid of me that easy," said Hoffman. "I want to be locked up and if you turn me loose I will take up the matter before the police com mission and have you all fired. I In sist on being placed behind the bars where I will not have a temptation to drink." While he was being searched at the desk sergeant's, window Hoffman de clared he would ask the police judge to impose a jail sentence.

LIGHTING COMPANIES PROMISE 8-CENT RATE Will Fulfill Pledge if Ordinance Is Defeated at Polls The Southern California Edison com pany, the Pacific Light and Power company and the Los Angeles Gas and Electric corporation gave out a state ment last night reiterating their pledge to put Into effect an 8 cent rate, with a minimum charge of 75 cents. If the light rate ordinance is defeated today. They did this because the board of trade of Hollywood sent out many post cards stating that the companies will be in a position to charge any rate they please if the ordinance is defeated to day, as there will then 'be no legal rate.

C, June After hav ing served in office continuously for fifty-two years, John Laws of Orange county, at the age of 85, again is in the field as a candidate for register of deeds. He is declared to be the oldest officeholder in point of service in the United States, and during his long term has weathered many political up heavals. It is not doubted that he will come out victorious at this his latest battle at the polls. ; Laws' claim to distinction does - not rest alone with his political success. His matrimonial experience gives him fame as well. At the ago of 80 he took a wife barely entered upon her 'teens, and only recently became the proud father of the third child of this union. The veteran officeholder saw service ln the Mexican war, was a friend of An drew Johnson and knew President Polk personally. Except for the fact that Laws does not drink water straight, but mixes it with milk, lemon juice and other ingredients of soft bever ages, he Is without eccentricities.

The basin ls a circular area 1600 feet in diameter and twenty-five feet deep at low tide. Work was commenced three and a half years ago. The dredge that has been on the Job was removed to the vicinity of Deadman's Island and will be used to remove the silt that has accumulated there. From the turning basin an eighteen foot channel leads up to the Wilming ton waterfront, and another channel goes about two miles further Inland to the wharves of the Consolidated Lum ber company. This channel was dredged by the Bannings in considera tion for a franchise to the Southern Pacific to the Mormon island penin sula. The new act recently passed by con gress provides for a channel into the west basin of the Inner harbor as well as more work In the east basin, also for deepening the main channel to a depth of thirty feet.

ENGLAND'S QUEEN IS LOVER OF POOR LITTLE CHILDREN LONDON, June 27.—"Queen Mary has loved little children ever since she was one herself," said Mrs. Kendal, the well known actress, in opening a maternity hospital at Leeds, and after mentioning that her majesty, as prin cess of Wales, has for years been the president of the Children's Happy Evenings association in London, she told an interesting story. While the princess was among the poor children of Lambeth, she said, one of the youngsters persisted in replying to her observations with "No, missus," or "Yes, missus." This led her to inquire, "Now, my little girl, do you. know who I am?" For some time th_ child hesitated, and then blurted out, "Wales, missus." Mrs. Kendal presented to the institu tion framed pictures of the queen mother and Queen Mary. McCUMBER AND GRONNA LEADING FOR U.S. SENATE BISMARCK, N.
