COUNCIL'S SECRET
SESSIONS OPPOSED
Members Declare Star Chamber
Tactics Recently Pursued
Must Be Stopped
NO CONCESSION TO PHONE CO.
City Will Not Consent to Injunc
tion Asked for by Cor
poration
After an executive session yesterday
afternoon at the conclusion of the reg
ular session. Councilman O'Brien, who
states he Is opposed to executive ses
sions of the council and to all secrecy
regarding council business, gave out
a,statement that it was decided at the
meeting that the city would give no
concessions to the telephone companies
in their suit against the city on the tel
ephone rates. City Attorney Hewitt
was instructed to fight the case to a
finish.
It was learned that Councilmen
Betkouski, Whiffen and Stewart met
with representatives of the telephone
interests yesterday afternoon and that
a proposal was made by the corpora
tion that the city consent to an in
junction, thus impounding the differ
ence between the old rate and the rate
fixed by the new ordinance, until such
time as Judgment was handed down in
the suit.
The council decided that no such
concession would be made. The coun
cil, so it is stated, seemed favorable
to the recommendations of the mayor's
message of "Wednesday, which sug
gested that the ordinance be so
amended that the rates on extension
phones In hotels be lowered, that a
reasonably higher rate for desk phones
as against wall phones be allowed and
that the rates be fixed to apply to Wil
mington and San Pedro, which are now
excluded.
City Attorney Hewitt stated that to
fight the telephone rates case to a finish
it would cost the city between $10,000
and $12,000.
Councilman O'Brien expressed him
self freely regarding his opposition to
executive sessions and star chamber
meetings of the city council.
"I am strongly opposed to any
secrecy being displayed by the council
in any of its actions. The council was
elected by the people, and the people
have a right to know any and all of
its deliberations," he said.
"I, for one, have been opposed to
these recent executive sessions and
secret conferences, but I did not like
to be considered rude by remaining
away. I know that there are others
in the council who will echo my sen
timents."
"I've attended my last executive ses
sion of the Los Angeles city council,"
said Councilman M. S, Gregory at tha
conclusion of yesterday's meeting. "At
the next secret or executive session
which is called I will be noted absent.
I am thoroughly disgusted with theso
secret tactics so recently exhibited. If
we have anything to do it is nothing
which we should be ashamed of. The
electors who put us where we ara
should be apprised of our delibera
tions.
"At the session today tho matters
discussed could Just as well have been
open to public hearing, but instead wo
locked ourselves in the council cham
ber as though we were ashamed of
what we were debating.
"I reiterate that I have never been
in favor of executive sessions, and from
now on any secret meeting will not
have me as a member."

pital yesterday afternoon, having failed

CITY ATTORNEY TO RULE
ON CITY HALL SITE SALE
Councilman Whiffen Makes His
First Speech Before the
Municipal Council
Frederick J. Whiffen made his
maiden speech in the council yesterday,
Introducing a motion to instruct the
city attorney to report to the council
as to the possibility of 6elllng the
present city hall without referring the
matter to a vote of the people. City
Attorney Hewitt was instructed to re
port at the next council meeting. Coun
cilman Whiffen said:
"I made, in company with Messrs.
Washburn and Gregory of the land and
public buildings committee, an inspec
tion of the Temple block, which has
been acquired by the city. I was agree
ably surprised to find that there were
at least thirty rooms in the building
which might be fitted up as offices for
the various departments of the city
government, which are now occupying
rented quarters at an aggregate year
ly rental of close to $40,0UU.
"It will require considerable expense
to fit up these quarters, and In order
to form an idea as to the practicability
of having tho work done, I would ask
that the city attorney give us an
opinion regarding whether the city hall
may be sold without the vote of the
people on the measure. In the event
the sale is possible, it would not war
rant us to expend a great amount of
money in fitting up oflices In the Tem
ple block."
Councilman Andrews voiced disap
proval of selling the present city hall
site through any technicality, since Uio
people had voted the sale down.
Councilman Gregory eaid:
"If It was known that the city hall
property could be sold without the vote
of the people It would at once bring an
Influx of bids. I know of one syndicate
that will offer a very high bid for the
site. I was amazed at the wonderful
opportunity to make city offices out of
the Temple block, but the building ia
in need of repair and a thorough clean
ing before wo could house any city of
ficials therein."

RAGES IN COURT
Infers Sweetheart of Sister on
Trial for Insanity Is 'No
Gentleman'
RUSHES AT OWEN PARRETT
Bailiff Seizes and Finally Quiets
Both Men by Threaten
ing Arrest
Glaring with rage and struggling to
Bet at each other, Harold Schaupp,
brother of Vera B. Schaupp, who Is
being tried on an Insanity charge, and
Owen Parrett, her would-be husband,
gave the bailiff In Judge Bordwell's
court yesterday a difficult half minute's
work. The scene was precipitated when
Miss Schaupp advanced to shake hands
with and say goodby to young Parrett,
following another postponement of the
caso.
"None of that," objected her brother,
grasping her by the arm.
"I guess my friends are mine, nnd
I'll speak to whom I please," she re
plied.
"Only to gentlemen," retorted tho
brother. And with that both men
rushed at each other. The bailiff was
too quick, however, and a threat that
both would be placed under arrest had
a quieting effect.
"Because ho is big cuts no Ice," mut
tered Parrett as he was forced to re
turn to his seat.
The hearing will be resumed on next
Wednesday. In the meantime an
agreement to send Miss Schaupp back
to visit relatives In Nebraska, away
from all disturbances, may be reached.
Owen Parrett is a young medical stu
dent, who, before the insanity com
plaint was issued, applied for and se
cured a writ of habeas corpus for the
young woman's release.
Tho parents claim their daughter Is
suffering from a religious mania. For
a long period yesterday Miss Schaupp
was consulted privately by Judge
Bordwell, but the result being still un
certain, another continuance was taken.
CITY RESTRAINED FROM
REDUCING WATER RATES
Union Hollywood Company Pa
trons Must Pay Old Amount.
Court to Hold Difference
Although the new -water ordinance
was said to have gone Into effect on
July 1, a temporary restraining ordor
was Issued yesterday by Judge Clark
of Ventura, •who Is trying tbe case of
the Union Hollywood Water company
against the city of Dos Angeles that
has the effect of dating back and con
tinuing the old rate without inter
mission.
Instead of the $1.25 rate, the residents
in what was formerly Hollywood will
have to put down their 11.60 as before,
with the difference that the balance
will be deposited with the clerk of the
court to be returned to the patrons in
pvont of the ordinance being sustained.
Payments on August 1 will be as
though there had been no change in
the ordinance.
A hard fight between,, the attorneys
representing the city and those for
the company was first heard before
the decision was reached. The city at
torney contended the people should
be given the benefit of the doubt un
til it was proved otherwise, but Ator
ney Hans, for the company, pointed
out no harm would result to anyone
if the money Is held by the court, but
that unless this is done it never could
bo collected In case the company won.
CYCLIST AND AUTOIST

tor Carried Lights
Fred Ballorlno and H. J. Crawford,
mutual sufferers in a motorcycle-au
tomobile collision on the evening of
Mach 3, were each denied damages
from the other in Judge Hervey's court
yesterday. Each claimed his own lamp

Ballorlno, driver of the motorcycle,
nsked $2750 for the loss of several teeth
and many bruises. Crawford claimed
his automobile had been damaged to
the extent of $200.
Ballerino's story was to the effect
that the automobile was going at a
high rate of speed and turned to the
wrong side of the road. The other
asserted his machine was motionless
and that the other ran into him. The
testimony of several patrolmen was
taken as to whether the lamps of both
machine.-) were lighted, the conclusion
being that neither were lighted.

WIFE'S INDULGENCE IN
LIQUOR DIVORCE CAUSE
William Coleby Secures Legal
Freedom on Testimony—Mrs.
Valla Given Alimony
Evidence that his wife at on© time
made a practice of drinking In public
places alone was the ground on which
Judge Hutton yesterday granted a di
vorce to William W. Coleby from
Marie F. Coleby. The complaint Yas
habitual drunkenness, to which the
wife replied that, though she drank, it
was always with her husband or by his
consent.
The real cause of the trouble, accord
ing to Mrs. Coleby, waa the interfer
ence of her husband's mother, who had
for years been striving to secure their
separation. Fear that th« daughter-in
law would inherit some of her 1125,000
estate was said to be behind this.
On the stand, however, the mother
in-law told a different tale.
"My daughter-in-law would come
home intoxicated night after night,"
she testified. "It fairly drove my son
frantic, and he was in ill health as a
result.
"On one occasion she told me of be
ing held up at 2 o'clock in the morning
by a highwayman, and when she had
told him she had no money he replied
that she had plenty of booze on board,
even if Bhe didn't have any money."
Other decrees granted were: David
P. Henning from Charlotte Ilenning,
Leonora E. Beck from Christian A.
Beck, Frank W. Carpenter from Pearl
E. Carpenter, Emma McKee from Sam
uel H. McKee, and William E. Boggis
from Cora E. Boggis.
Alimony of $50 a month was granted
to Mary A. Valla, who obtained a di
vorce from Louis B. Valla the day
before. Valla's estate, it was phown,
amounts to over $125,000.
VICTIM OF LIQUOR HABIT
RECEIVES JAIL SENTENCE
Probationer Breaks Promise and
Gets Year's Imprisonment
Unable to leave liquor alone, in spite
of all promises, J. A Oberg appeared
before Judgo Wilbur yesterday and
quietly took his sentence of one year
In the county jail lor breaking his pro
bation.
The wife briefly related how, practi
cally every day since his probation in
November, ho had returned at night
under the inlluence of liquor, even go
ing to such lengths as to hide a bottle
beneath his pillow that he might have
it during the night. All this Oberg ad
mitted.
A touching scene followed the sen
tence, when, on kissing his wife good
by, the small 3-year-old daughter,
seeming to realize what It meant, held
out her arms appealingly and wept in
heartbroken manner until the father
had stopped to comfort her. Mean
while the sheriff stood by waiting to
take his prisoner.
MRS. DRIGGS WEEPS WHILE
NEW TRIAL IS REQUESTED
Eased on errors in the trial, as well
as errors in instructions given the jury,
Paul Schenk, attorney for Gertrude
Driggs, who was recently found guilty
the second time of forgery, pleaded
until late last night before Judge Davis
for a new trial of the case.
For the most part, Mrs. Driggs sat
silently weeping-, in decided contrast to
her hopeful manner during the trial.
Mrs. Thorbus, her daughter, sat be
side her, her arm constantly around the
waist of her mother, and at times she,
too, gave way to grief.
The motion was taken under advise
ment.
LILES' WILL CONTEST MAY
BE SETTLED OUT OF COURT
By agreement of the attorneys for
both sides, the will contest of the es
tate of Abraham B. Liles was yester
day continued, nominally until July 22,
but in reality to give time for the
conclusion of a compron-.ise.
The representatives of the widow an
nounced they had been offered two
thirds on condition the other third bo
divided among the seven children of
the first marriage. This agreement
had been practically se.ttled except tha
obtaining of the formal consent of sev
eral of those far away.

DAIRYMEN BATTLE
OVER MILK LAWS
Long Discussion Over Proposed
Ordinance Is Held Before
City Council
TEMPERATURE IS THE ISSUE
Mrs. Edson Joins Movement to
Secure Pure Milk Supply
for Los Angeles
Discussion of the proposed milk or
dinance, participated in by the board
of health and representatives of dairy
men, was held last night before two of
the members of the legislation commit
tee of the city council, at the conclu
sion of which the ordinance was taken
under advisement. Councilman Bet
kouskl expressed himself as being in
favor of requiring dairymen to cool all
milk to 60 degrees, while Councilman
Andrews was undecided as to his
opinion.
Mrs. Charles F^rwell Kdaon. repre
senting the Friday Morning club, the
Ebell club and the Federation of Wom
en's clubs, addressed the committee.
"We have no desire," said Mrs. Ed
son, "to ask for the passage of an
ordinance that will tend to work a
hardship on the dairymen supplying
milk to Los Angeles. We are here
hoping to get the co-operation of the
dairymen in a right for a pure milk
supply for this city.
"The milk delivered here should be
of a better quality than we have at
present We intend to ask the city
council to appoint a city veterinarian
and four inspectors of dairies. It is
our hope that the state legislature will
puss a law compelling transportation
companies to provide proper methods of
refrigeration and transportation of
milk."
FIGHT OVF-R TEMPERATURE
The provision of the ordinance which
prtnoked the most of the discussion
was the one requiring that dairyme:i
keep the milk at a temperature of not
more than 60 degrees from the time U
13 milked until its delivery. At yes
terday afternoon's meeting of the
health board that body went on record
as believing that a milk temperature
of not moii- than 60 degrees was essen
tial to the welfare of consumers, but
th:it owing to the want of proper con»
ticil of transportation facilities under
the present state law it would be diffi
cult to enforce such a law. The board
was willing to set a standard of 67
degree*, in order to not work an in
justice on dairymen who live at a dis
tance from the city.
R. E. Tibbetson, treasurer of the Su
perior dairy, informed the legislation
committee that his company had no ob
jection to the ordinance as a whole,
but that it was believed that the sec
tion requiring that the milk be cooled
to 60 degree! was unjust to small deal
ers, as it would necessitate cooling with
Ice to meet the requirements of the
ordinance.
His view was opposed by Guy Cherry
of tin- Chicago dairy, who held that all
of the objections to the ordinance were
made by "the milk trust," representa
tive of which, he alleged, were present.
Cherry said he saw a petition in the
office of Dr. Gibbon of tho boald of
health, asking that the maximum tem
perature of milk be fixed at 60 degree*,
signed by the representatives of 500
dairymen. ~ I
S. A. W. Carver, business manager
of the Crescent, creamery, pressed
Cherry for elucidation of his state
ment, but Cherry refused to answer his
questions.
Dr. Clark of the board of health
said:
"When we get a state law to back
us up we are going to bring the tem
perature requirements down to 50 de
grees. Milk will then come Into the
city at that temperature, or It will not
come In at all. This Is an Important
subject. We must protect the babies
from the evil effects of Impure and im
properly dispensed milk. .
WANT INSPECTORS
"One thing that I am In favor of
is having a sufficient number of In
spectors of dairies to see that cleanli
ness la maintained at these farms from
which milk is shipped into the city.
"The dairymen «ay,"< interjected Dr.
Cole of the board of health, "that un
der climatic conditions in Southern
California, It is impossible to bring the
milk down to a temperature of 60 de
grees. That is not so, for there are
hundreds of cities throughout the south
that are abfe to force dairymen to cool
the milk far below 60 degrees. I do
not see why Los Angeles cannot do
likewise. I do not wish to work a
hardship on milk dealers by a drastic
ordinance, but what other southern
cities are able to do should be no task
for us.
"I am strongly In favor of a tuber
culin teat, such as Pasadena now lias.
The dairymen protested strongly
against this ordinance when first pro
posed, but the dairymen of Pasadena
are glad today that such a law exists.
The statement made by the dairymen
that the enforcement ot the ordinance
we have under consideration would
mean a milk famine is highly improb
able."
City Health Officer Dr. Powers WM
in favor of allowing the standard to I" 1
made 67 decrees at present, hut hoped
that by next summer the temperature
requirements would be placed at 60
degrees.
GOT HIS RECEIPT
lie had run up a small bill at the
village store, and went to pay It, first
asking for a receipt.
The proprietor grumbled end com
plained It was too small to give a re
ceipt for. It would do Just as well, he
said, to cross the account off, and so
drew a diagonal pencil line across the
book.
"Does that settle It?" asked the cus
tomer. ..
"Sure."
"An 1 ye'ir nlver be nskln 1 for it
op'in * "*■■>
"Certainly not."

Juliet wan only 15 years old, but she thought
she was quite Brown up. One. evening, aay»
Mrs. 11. A. Hirer in "My Day," she was re
ceiving on the moonlit veranda a young man
call*. He, too. It seemed, considered him
self Krown up.
The anxious youth was moved to sell*
the propitious hour and declare himself. Ju
liet wished -to answer correctly, and dismiss
him without wounding him.
She assured him, "Mamma would never con
sent." j
A voice from within— were sitting be
neath her mother's window—settled the mat
ter:
"Accept the youn;* man. Juliet, If you want
to—l've not the least objection—and let him
run along home now. Be sure to bolt th»
door when you come in!" ~
Evidently the mother had small respect for
boy lovers and wished to go to sleep.—
