2 ROBERT S. PLATT. He Hands in That Report on Tax Deeds. But He Positively Refuses To Pungle Up. The Supervisors Resolve to Oust Him. And Instruct F. P. Kelley to Take the Steps Necessary to Remove Him From Olflce. The board of supervisors was in sec ret session yesterday morning and with them was closeted the district attorney. They were calculating what they should do with unruly R. S. Piatt, the county tax collector who refuses to "pungle up" that tax-deed money which he says he holds in trust. If he comes this •'trust" business on them for the purpose of "riling" the board, he will have the satisfaction of knowing that he has succeeded. But they are getting back on him in great shape. During the secret session the report of Mr. Piatt, so anxiously expected by the board, was received. It shows that during his incumbency 1,010 applications were made, 505 were issued and afterwards of that number 77 were allowed to be withdrawn. Mr. Piatt further reports that he deposited with the county treasurer in 1880 the sum of $000, and in 1800 $000, a total of $1,269. Mr. Piatt further stated that he has $912 on hand which he would refuse to pay to the treasurer, holding that he is merely a trustee for those who placed the money in his hands. He was re quested by the board to pay this sum into the treasury, and on his refusal Supervisor Davis made the following resolution: "Whereas, it appears that R. S. Piatt, county tax collector, had in his hands $912 on" the Ist day of August 1890, moneys collected by him for tax deeds in his official capacity, belonging toJthe county of Los Angeles; and Whereas, he has failed and refused and still refuses to pay the same over to the county treasury ; therefore, Resolved, that the district attorney be and is hereby instructed to commence legal proceedings forthwith for the col lection of said money : and be it further Resolved, that the district attorney be requested to institute proceedings forthwith to remove the said R. S. Piatt from office as county tax collector under section 772 of the penal code, and to take such other proceedings as he shall be advised is proper in the premises. The resolution was carried. Chairman Perry said to a Hkralii re porter that Mr. Piatt should have col lected in advance $3 for each tax deed applied for, which would have brought the total to $3030. Mr. Piatt, however, has heretofore intimated that in a good many cases he did not make the pay ment compulsory on application for deeds and consequently collected noth ing when the applications were with drawn. THEY EVADED TAXES. And May Now Lose All That They Ever Had. The trial of the V. . against the Fruitvale Wine and Fruit company of Fresno was to have commenced yester day in the U. S. District Court. The defendants were allowed to file an amended answer to the libel of informa tion tiled in January, 1889, by the then U. S. District Attorney, George J. Den nis Esq. Judge Ross continued the case until tomorrow at 11 o'clock. The Fruitvale Wine and Fruit 'company was seized in November, 1888, by the U. S. internal revenue collector for having evaded the payment of taxes on a large quantity of brandy. The present trial is for the purpose of having the distil lery, the land upon which it is situated and all its appurtenances declared for feited to the United States. In connection with the said seizure Moore Young,secretary of the company, was convicted in the TJ. S. District Court some time ago of having made fraudulent returns and was sentenced to one year in the county jail of Fresno. Other complications arose out of the same matter which led to the arrest and imprisonment of a well known citizen of Los Angeles, the particulars of which are still fresh in the minds of the readers of the Herald. There is now pending in the U. S. Circuit Court a suit brought by the U. S. against the stockholders of the same company to recover $20,000 alleged to be due for taxes on spirits of which the internal revenue department was defrauded by the company. TWO BOTTLES OF WINE Caused Two Boys an Imprisonment of Forty-Nine Days. On the Ist of July a couple of boys, Aaron Daley and John P. Dolan, were arrested by detective Auble, who charg ed them with burglary. They had in their possession two bottles of Zinfandel belonging to Pironi <& Slatri, wine mer chants. They had a preliminary exam ination before Justice Austin, who held each to answer in the sum of $1,500. The prisoners demanded separate trials and that of John P. Dolan was com menced on Monday afternoon, and con cluded yesterday morning. The testi mony for the prosecution was mainly hearsay, and nothing in it tended to prove that the defendant and Daley had committed any burglary, or that they even were in possession of stolen goods. The jury, without leaving their seats, under instructions of Judge Cheney, ac quitted Dolan. On motion of the Dis trict-Attorney, the case against Daly was then also dismissed. The boys had been in jail 40 days. FILIBUSTER CAPTAIN SCOTT. Officially Said to be Dead, but He Writes Letters. Captain Scott, of Her Majesty's Royal Engineer corps, was, until recently, the manager of the International company's affairs at Ensenada. When the scheme of the San Diego journalistic filibusters to capture the peninsula was exploited by a Los Angeles newspaper man, Cap tain Scott, who had opportunely left for England to rejoin his regiment, was found to have been a very energetic conspirator. A short time ago the Mex ican government made a demand on the British authorities for Captain Scott's arrest and trial on a charge of conspiring against the Repub lic, and in due time the reply came from THE LOS ANGELES HERALD; WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20, 1890. Downing street that the foreign office regretted to inform the inquiring Mex ican secretary that Captain Scott was dead, having succumbed to the effect of a mid summer journey to India. It was, of course, impossible to proceed against a dead man, and so the matter was dropped. It and the deceased Cap tain, however, have been revived by the receipt of letters from him by friends in Ensenada; letters which were dated a week or more after the time said by Her Majesty's foreign office to have been the occasion of the officer's demise. These letters were not spirit communi cations, and were neither dated from Hades or Paradise, but from India. Somebody, evidently, has prevaricated, so to speak mildly. IN THE COURTS. Damron Pleads Not Guilty—Ward Pays for His Fun. Laura Norton was granted a decree of divorce from Charles Norton yesterday on the ground of desertion. The demurrers against the informa tion in the cases 803 and 804, charging J. M. Damron with forgery, were yester day overruled by Judge Cheney. In each case Damron pleaded not guilty and both cases will be set for trial today. Axel Robertson was granted a divorce yesterday from his wife C. Robertson by Judge McKinley on the ground of desertion, Fred Brachman, a native of Germany, and Bertrand Baron, a native of France, were yesterday admitted to citizenship. William Ward yesterday pleaded guilty in the United States district court to having refused to answer ques tions propounded to him by a census enumerator, and was lined ifL'd by Judge Ross. The fine was paid. Part of the term trial jury for the August term was yesterday impaneled in the United States district court, but as several of those who had been summoned were not on the assessment roll, an additional venire of forty names was ordered to issue returnable tomor row. The habeas corpus proceedings taken out to have Pedro Mungia held by Jus tice Savage for trial, released on the ground that there was no evidence to bring him to trial, were continued by Justice Cheney until this afternoon. The shorthand reporter, being sick, had been unable to prepare the transcript of his notes. The trial of J. S. Chadwick was con tinued until September 11, owing to the absence of material witnesses for the prosecution. The trial of Chas. H. Boyce, charged with embezzlement, will come off on September 10th, and that of George Greenwood, charged with burglary, on the Ist of October in department one. Judge Cheney yesterday ordered the watch and chain and $4.50 taken from J. M. Woolsey, by the two young men, Wallace and Jack, sentenced to one year in the penitentiary on Monday, returned to their owner. INCORPORATIONS. Another Bank to Fill A Long Felt Want.

Yesterday morning, at it :30, when De partment One of the Superior Court con vened, the jury in the White case, which had been locked up all night, entered the court room and announced that they had agreed upon a verdict. They found the prisoner guilty of assault. Judge Cheney will sentence him this morning at 10 o'clock. CREAM Baking Powder MOBT PERFECT MADE. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE.

Professor Edmunds, one of Harvard Observatory corps of astronomers, is now on Wilson's Peak, selecting a location for the twenty-four inch glass photo graphic telescope which that university proposes to erect. The sum of .$50,000 has been secured for this purpose, and $25,000 has already been paid on account. It is is claimed by the Harvard officials that a twenty-four inch photographic instrument will show more stars and give better results than a forty inch visual glass. The thirteen inch photographic glass which has been kept in operation photo graphing the heavens, has been taken down, and will be placed in position by Harvard in Peru or Chili to complete the picture of the southern heavens. It is proposed by Harvard to keep permanent instruments in both places hereafter. FIVE ACRES ENOUGH. A Little Ranch Paid for Out of the Crop. Some people tumble into a good thing and then have difficulty in realizing how well off they are. Such a man was a resident of Pasadena, who had five acres of land near Lamanda Park offered him some time ago by its owner, who had to go to the east, for $400 an acre. The land was set out to deciduous fruits, and had on it a neat little house, but it had no water right. The bargain was de clined, and the owner said, "Well, you take the place and take care of it for the crop; if you can sell it for me all right, and if you cannot all right," and off he went. The Pasadena man took good care of the place and some weeks ago fruit buyers began to make him offers for the crop, and he changed his mind about buying, and sent to his friend in the east the purchase price, paying for the place out of the cash that he received for the fruit, and having enough left . over to keep him comfortable for a year besides. Mr. N. C. Carter of Carterhia told this story to a Herald man yesterday, but it is true just the same. The Yachts. The yachts Nellie and Aggie both ar rived at San Pedro last evening from Catalina.
