SPEED TRIAL IN CASE OF ASSAULT Santa Ana Boy, 17, H In County Jail, Unc $25,000 Bonds RIG INCREASE Superior Judge Williams Sanctions Procedure On Well Payment Anaheim city council scored again yesterday when Superior Judge Williams, over the vigorous protest of Atty. Homer Ames, ruled that City Aty. Wm. P. Webb, Jr. might enter a supplemental answer to the injunction suit by D. Jessurun in furtherance of the U. S. A. club's efforts to embarrass the administration. The supplemental answer stated that after the temporary injunction was granted, the city council adopted plans and specifications for the well and pump at the sewer farm, published notice calling for bids, awarded and executed contracts, approved demands and paid claims. This leaves the U. S. A. club up a tree with nothing to talk about as in essence, the court sanctions the city council's procedure despite the strenuous objections of the hecklers. Hearing on the injunction is set for Dec. 9. The only thing to be taken up then is proof of proper advertising and award of contract. This, of course, can readily be shown by City Aty. Webb. The injunction suit, brot to stop payment for the well drilled at the city's $100,000-20-acre valencia grove, formerly sewer farm, during the emergency last summer, was counted upon by the U. S. A. club for much political thunder. In fact, it came nearest to the legitimate of any of the nine reasons given for recall of the four dry councilmen. With it knocked out, the old wet political machine admittedly was in a bad wipe its efforts to regain control and turn the town on the loose again. L. A.

G.O.P.ACTION STIRS UP ANIMALS WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—The action of the Republicans in reading out of the party Sen. Robt. M. LaFollette and three of his supporters, Senators Brookhart, Frazier and Ladd, has stirred up a hornet's nest in the Republican organization that bids fair today to buzz for a long time. Despite the comparative ease with which the ouster was put thru the Republican conference, there is a marked division of opinion among Republicans as to the wisdom of the action taken. Criticism was rampant at the capitol although most of it was under whose like Senators Reed of Pennsylvania and Edge of New Jersey, who pushed the expulsion proceedings, hailed their victory as a victory for party solidarity and regularity. They predicted that the action taken would have a salutary effect in curbing the habit of straying away from the party reservation. Would-be bolters would think twice hereafter, they said, before leaving the organization. On the other hand, there is a considerable number of Republicans like Borah, of Idaho. Commins of Iowa and Norris and Howell of Nebraska, who deplore the action taken and believe that it will work for friction within the party rather than harmony. Norris said it was "a piece of vaudeville" Borah said it was "a mistake" and Cummins shook his head dolefully about it. Even Sen. Curtis, the new leader, was privately against it. Had the Republicans taken the same action in 1912, these senators pointed out there would have been no Republican party. Many of the Republican senators who voted to expel the LaFollette insurgents were themselves insurgents in 1912, bolting Taft and joining Roosevelt. LQUITMENT Pursues Its Policy of Modernizing All Departments City council last night pursued its policy of modernizing equipment of the various departments, ordering purchase of two light trucks, one with steel dump body and the other with trash body, to take the place of two teams now hired to haul refuse to the dumps on the Santa Ana river levee or to No. Anahelm.

With a view toward more efficiency, the city manager was instructed to purchase a gasoline tank and pump for installation at the power house where all city cars and trucks will be serviced. This is expected to effect considerable saving, not only from the lower wholesale price of gas and oil, but from time taken to stop at service stations and in bookkeeping at the purchasing department. The pump and tank will cost about $150. In view of the price war now on between pipe makers, the city manager was instructed to draw up necessary specifications for about $43,000 worth of mains, pipe fittings, hydrants and valves for installation on streets before they are paved. The pipe ranges in size from four to 12-inch. The city manager was instructed to advertise for pipe needed to install a complete underground sprinkling system at the city park not only in the present lawn and flower beds but also in the new lawn south of the grandstand. It is estimated the pipe will cost $3-600. It will be installed by men now in the employ of the city and is expected to pay for itself in three years from saving in labor now necessary for sprinkling the lawns with hand hose.
