GLENDALE RESIDENT IS HELD TO GRAND JURY AfTER HEARING THERE It appears that Glendule has again unearUiL'U another bit of meretric ious atroeity that bids fair to ter minate in the zero class, and judg ing from the meager particulars reaching Ibis city today may no? reach the courts, so lacking is tile evidence to warrant dragging a re sponsible man and an irresponsible girl of lender years into the meshes of the law on uncorroborated evi dence. A well known Olendale citizen was arrested at that place yesterday charged with a statutory offense against the person of u 14-year-old girl. The man was given bearing before Justice Clarke at Glendale, and after hearing the testimony of the girl in the case, he was bound over to the grand jury, under bonds of 10(10. The girl, who is said (o be rather simple-minded, met the man about a mile south of the town ot Glendale and she Is alleged to have taken IJ.e accused by the arm in a friendly manner. The two walked a short distance thru the sheltering trees. The mother of the girl witnessed the occurrence and called to her daugh ter. The two returned and were btter haled into court on accusations made by the Irritated parent, the man being charged with an attempt at rape. At first, upon being inter rogated, the girl denied that any thing out of tlie ordinary took place, but later upon being urged by her interrogators, finally admitted that the man took undue liberty of a minor nature, by answering a short, gruff "yes" to a question put to her. On this thin evidence the man was bound over to the grand jury. LOCAL MINISTER NAMED AS MEMBER Of "FLYING SQUADRON", M.f.

The Italian delegation, despite the conciliatory efforts of the llritish and French, are apparently determined to ex ecute their threat to withdraw from the peace conference. For a time it seemed that the angered, Italians had been temporarily appeased. A high .authority announced shortly before noon, following a conference between Premiers Orlando and Lloyd Heorge, that "the Italians will ' not depart today." Less than two hours later, however, the Italian press bureau officially stated that while the Italian delegates would not de part at 2 o'clock, as scheduled, they would probably leave on a special train tonight. Orlando is Very Sore. PARIS, April 24 "Wilson's state ment ruins everything," so Premier Orlando declared in 'an announce ment for the press.

SOME DETAILS NOT SETTLED City Dads Hardly in Favor ot City Controlled Plant at This Time LltMe Other Itusincss is TraiiMicte! by Council. At nn adjourned mooting" of the city council lust night, ut which time the full personnel of the city's heads were present, it waa unanimously de cided to adopt the library ordlnunce for the establishing and maintenance of a public library in the city of Itosehurg, the name to become effec tive within (hlrty days. The city will now apply to the Carnegie library corporation for the erection of a suitable building here. A tax not to exceed eight-tenths of a mill will be levied against all tuxable property In the city for the purpose of creating a fund for providing, equipping and maintaining of said public, institu tion. O. K. Frank, manager of the local water and light, company, notified Hie eouneilmeu that their contract for (he furnishing of water and light to the city would expire May 1, 1919. Afier.soutu discussion It was finally agreed by the councllmen to enter Inio a new contract with the local company for a period of five years, on the Hiime terms and conditions as the present contract. City Recorder Whipple was later directed to com nunicate with Hugeno und Modford o secure data and Information as to whether their city owned plants are .laying propositions, as to interest on he capital Invented, and whether or lot n sinking Hind Is provided for herefrom. According to Mr. Whip nle, tho city charter provides that, he sum of $2ft),(HMJ may now law fully be expended for the purchasing if municipal light and water plants. Hid further that the city can bond tself iu this sum IT It so desired. II an be readily seen that $250,000 A-ould be a wholly Inadequate inuMint with which lo establish such alunts. Therefore the Idea of at- em id lug lo Inaugurate a plan .vhereby the city would own Its .vater mid light plants Independently teems at present inadvisable, lu view if the exceedingly high cost of labor ind materials. At a period not long Colore the outbreak of the war, rer 'nlu engineers estimated that a grav ity -system Installed at Hock Creek tin Id be effected at a cost of ap iroximalely $0(10.000 to $000,000, ml including cost of maintenance. To carry out a proposition of thin kind now. $H00.000 to $1,000,000 would perhaps be needed. Cor some time the city has been Mirnisheil water and light at the city iiall free of compensation, but notice mis been served by the company that his service will be discontinued and Hereafter a under will click out tt monthly recompense. The company Mso called attention to tho fact that i two inch stand pipe located at the Hy's barn was being used for other purposes than for fire, and unless Mils practice wus discontinued at mice a meter would bo attached hereto or tin- pipe sealed. They also ak the city for certain maintenance m connection with the cluster lights. The outcome of these details Is still undetermined. The library fund was materially swelled when the counciluien dlrect .1 City Recorder Whipple to draw a warrant for $25 In fuvor of the Menial Culture Club to be applied to Mo- proposed librury subscription. This amount was derived by the city from the sale ol Junk collected about the ctiy recently. A warrant .vas also ordered drawn In favor of he county clerk to liquidate the re cording feu for deeds executed to the Ity by Chief of Police Hhambrook, received thru delinquent assess ments. The property was formerly owned by K. 1. Webb and V. S. 'reach, and was sold under execu ,iini and marshal's sale and never 1 edeenieil.
