THE LAW.
The Tenth-Street Hotel Con
tract for Iron.
A Castac Land Case in
Court.
Alleged Attempt to Jump Agricul
tural Land.
A Bull Terrier and a Mongrel—Small Cases
in the Smaller Legal
Circles.
In Judge Wade's court yesterday the
case of O'Connell vs. the Main-Street
Hotel Company came up for trial. The
interest at stake is in relation to the
iron work furnished by the plaintiff. A
number of the stockholders of the hotel
corporation were called as witnesses and
answered questions concerning the
affairs of the hotel. The case was con
tinued until today.
The case of W. C. Chormicle vs. W.
W. Jenkins came up before Judge Van
Dyke yesterday. The matter was
brought into court through a dispute
over land in the Castac canon. It is al
leged that defendant attempted to ob
tain possession of some land owned by
Mrs. Chormicle, alleging that it is min
eral land. It is charged that Mr. Jen
kins employed some men to enter upon
the land, which is planted in wheat.
The men cut a ditch in the land, and a
suit was brought to restrain the defen
dants from further trespass. A number
of affidavits were filed going to show
that the land is not mineral land. In
one of them John Hall says "that he
is familiar with the land in question ;
that three years and a half ago he was
induced by Albert G. Ruxton, and
through the representations made by
Jenkins, to pay a certain sum of money
down in the purchase of some 5,000
acres, which was said to be suitable for
placer mining and agricultural purposes.
Jenkins said that Chormicle was the
squatter on this certain section of land
and that he (Jenkins) wanted that spec
ial piece of land, some 70 acres, for his
own use. He said that although Chor
micle was squatting on the land, he
could not hold it, but would allow him
to remain there until he had built a
house, and then he would take the house
and land away from him. He said it
was fine agricultural land, in fact it was
fit for growing all kinds of fruits,and vines
which produced wine of a superior
flavor; he said that he was preparing
a ditch for mining; that no mining had
ever been done, but that really it was
for the purpose of irrigating his own
land on section 24, and the lands
near Turner's place; he had taken
levels around there, and the water
would irrigate the whole of the land
above and below him on sections 24 and
25. The defendant, Jenkins,desired me to
purchase half the interest of Ruxton in
section 13, and that he (Jenkins) was well
acquainted with the land laws of the
United States, and while, as a matter of
fact, the land was only valuable for ag
ricultural purposes, still, that by claim
ing it as mineral that they could hold
and use the land as long as they liked,
until they got able to pay for it, from
the government as mining land, and
that the intent was not to mine upon it,
and that the land of Mr. Chormicle
would be used for agricultural purposes
and not for mining."
The affidavit goes on to state that
Hall bought a half interest. After work
ing and spending considerable money
they discovered not gold enough to cover
the tip of his finger.
In Judge Wade's court yesterday if.
Schoening, a Prussian, and William 11.
Evans, an Englishman, were admitted
to citizenship.
A Bull Terrier.
In the police court yesterday after
noon M. A. Long and O. J. King ap
peared before Justice Lockwood to an
swer to the charge of fighting preferred
against them by Officer Walker. Itwas
shown by the testimony that Long, who
is a janitor, owns a large and vicious
bull terrier, and that the animal at
tacked a half-starved stray dog on the
corner of Fourth and Spring streets at 8
o'clock on Friday night. A large crowd
gathered and the bull terrier was chew
ing the other dog up, when King at
tempted to separate the animals in the
interests of humanity. Long took ex
ceptions to King's interference, and,
while the latter was stooping over the
dogs, struck him a blow and knocked
him down. Officer Walker put in an ap
pearance before the men settled their
difficulties, and arrested King, Long
making his escape in the crowd. The
court on learning the facts, discharged
King and fined his assailant $5.
The Lesser Courts.
In the township court yesterday
morning the case against C. R. Davis, of
Vernon, charged with having assaulted
"William Beck on March 7th last, came
up for trial. The defendant moved the
court for a change of venue, which mo
tion was granted and the case trans
ferred to Justice Lockwood.
Mrs. Ellen Murphy was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Officer D. L. Craig
upon a warrant charging her with bat
tering the son of Mrs. Ellen Jones. C.
L. Murphy, her husband, was also
placed under arrest for disturbing Mrs.
Jones's peace. Mrs. Ellen Jones was
herself arrested on a cross-complaint
charging her with battery and sworn to
by Mrs. Murphy, and all three were taken
before Justice Lockwood and arraigned,
the cases being set for 2 o'clock p. m. of
the 31st inst. All three reside on
Hansen street, East Los Angeles,
but owing to the vagaries of Mrs. Jones's
cow, which continually strays upon a
piece of land leased by Mrs. Murphy,
their neighborly relations have been con
siderably strained for some time past,
and the matter reached a crisis on Sat
urday last, when the two women came
together at close quarters.
Justice Theodore Savage yesterday ar
raigned an old man named < ieorge W.
Dye upon the charge of having assaulted
Robert Stoll with a pitchfork on Friday
last, and set his examination for Tues
day next, allowing him to go upon his
own recognizance in the meantime.
Justice Austin yesterday rendered
judgment for the plaintiff in the civil
suit entitled Mrs. E. E. Knowles vs.
James Bowers, for $117.40, with costs, a
stay of execution for five days being
granted, however, at the request of the
defendant. Bowers is an auctioneer,
and in February last received two
horses and a cart.from Mrs. Knowles to
be sold on commission. In March last
he sold the property for $185 cash, but
failed to make any return to the lady,
who thereupon sought to recover that
amount, less $20 as commission. It was
shown by the testimony, however, that
THE LOS ANGELES ITER ALP: WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 21, 1890.
the commission and expenses amounted
to $32.02, in addition to which the sum
of $30 had been paid out at plaintiff's
request to another person.
Special Census Returns.
The census department has decided
on making special returns of deaf per
sons in the United States, and has re
quested Professor T. Widd, the city mis
sionery of the deaf, to obtain the re
quired information. No provision was
made for this when the appropriations
were passed, so the work will have to be
a gratuitous one. Mr. Widd desires all
persons who have deaf mute relations or
persons unable to hear, to send him
their address by postal card to Station
R., so that he can call on them with
the papers to make these important re
turns, which must be done during the
month of May, before the regular census
enumerators call on June Ist.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Other Important Additions to the Perma
nent Exhibit—Some Silk Worms at
Work—A Call for Flowers.
The permanent exhibit of the cham

important additions yesterday, the most
noteworthy among which was the dis
play of the work of the public schools of
this city. This exhibit is arranged on
shelves and tables in the northern gal
lery. It has been carefully selected and j
shows excellent work on the part of a j
large number of pupils. The collecting
of this exhibit was one of the first i
matters taken up by the ladies' annex, \
and the success with which it lias been
carried out reflects credit upon those
who had the work in hand.
The additions made to this display
yesterday were as follows :
High School—Essays on Evangeline,
illustrated, Mrs. Frick, teacher ; written
lessons in geometry, sub. junior A and B,
Miss Sharp, teacher.
Spring-street School —Language and
drawing, orange leaf B 2 and A I, Miss
Bengough, teacher; clay modeling, A I

hibit a sheaf of wheat, one of barley,
some alfalfa, and native grasses. E. T.
Byram, of Glendale, contributed French
prunes. C. 11. Dunsmore and W. H.
Perry sent over some specimens of lead
and silver ore from the Oro Grande
mine.
A very interesting feature was added
yesterday by Mrs. Jennie C. Carr of
Pasadena, in the shape of a box of silk
worms. Some of them are feeding on
mulberry leaves and the others are bus
ily engaged in winding themselves up in
cocoons. They attract much attention.
Flowers were contributed yesterday by
the Raymond nurseries, N. C. Carter of
Carteria, Mrs. A. F. Coronel, A. H.
Voight.
The ladies of the annex have issued
the following special notice with regard
to the collection of flowers :
A committee will be in waiting to re
ceive all donations of flowers for the
decoration of the chamber of commerce
every Monday and Thursday morning,
between the hours of 8 and 0 o'clock. It
is desirable all ornamentation be fin
ished by 0 :S0 o'clock each day, if pos
sible. Our friends will kindly help us
by their promptness in sending flowers
on time. Let the flowers be made in
bouquets, if possible; if not, lay each
variety in separate papers, stems one
way. Next week the city will be
divided in sections on our book, and we
will send a wagon in one section only
each decorating day to those who are un
able to send their flowers. All persons
having abundance of flowers and wish

name and address for future use. Due
notice of direction taken by wagon will
be given, so our friends can contribute
their floral offerings at stated points en
route. Mrs. E. A. Pingree,
Chairman Decoration Committee.
PARK CHURCH.

NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES.
Some Plain Facts—Reminiscences of the
Visit of the Senatorial Party Last Year.
Lack of Senatorial Representation and
T.ocal Unity the Great Drawbacks.
What the Eastern Senators Thought
About Big Pacific Coast States—What
San Pedro Has Had to Fight Against.
Peculiar Facts.
The presence of the Huntington party
in Southern California has naturally
caused discussion to revolve around rail
way topics. A Herald reporter yester
day had a talk with a gentleman who
was one of those who received Stanford
and the senatorial party last year, and
who was also one of the committee of
the chamber of commerce to tender the
same compliment to the Messrs. Hunt
ington, Crocker and their associates yes
terday. The HEBALD will reproduce
this morning a portion of this conversa
tion.
IMmcultieM Environing San Pedro.
"When Stanford was elected United
States senator he was profuse in his pro
testations of his desire to do great things
at San Pedro. No man could have been
more unreserved and even enthusiastic
in his devotion to Southern California,
and to the great entrepot of the Southern
Pacific railway in particular, San Pedro,
It was a noticeable fact that, just in in
verse ratio to the senator's profession!
was his performance. From the mo
ment Stanford got into his seat al
Washington till this day everything that
looked to carrying out the government
plans at San Pedro experienced an un
accountable but most decided syncope,
"You will ask why this was so. Well,
there are several reasons, and I will give
you one of them. Under the specious
name of creating a harbor at Oakland
the government of the United States is
engaged just now in building, tit tut out
lay of $4,000,000, a great pri
vate dock for the convenience
of the Southern Pacific railway,
Gov. Stanford told me plainly on his last
visit that he would do nothing lor San
Pedro until the Oakland improvements
had been completed. 1 understand that,
in addition, a San Francisco stock op
erator, named John W. Pearson, had the
sagacity to secure a large frontage of the
inner harbor of Wilmington, running
outward fromTimms's point. For fifteen
years it had lain there neglected, and
could have been secured for a mere song.
I believe the company has since been
compelled to buy it at an outlay ot
$250,000. [Note. This property is still
owned by Mr. Pearson. —Editor Her
ald.]
"Another great difficulty encountered
by Wilmington harbor in securing the
appropriations to which it is entitled is
the lack of unity of sentiment in the sea
side resorts of" LO3 Angeles. They all
want recognition as ports. Redondo
Beach, the new fledgling har
bor of the Messrs. Ainsworth
and Thompson, has a great friend
in Senator Dolph, of Oregon. Those
enterprising gentlemen have been
largely instrumental in developing that
country, and they quite naturally have
great influence with the Oregon" sena
tors. Then, as to Santa Monica, Senatot
John P. Jones, of Nevada, is a three
quarter owner of the Santa Monica y
San Vicente rancho, and a roadsteai'
which he thinks ought to receive gov
ernment aid, and very naturally he it
averse to seeing it extended to Sai
Pedro. This can be reasonably assumed
while conceding that Senator Jones hat
been remarkably modest and self-re'
specting in the premises.
Another Drawback.
"That leads me again to the visit oi
the senatorial party to this section last
winter. That party embraced Senators
Stanford, Hearst, Frye, Morgan and
others, and as I was one of the commit
tee appointed to receive them, I had an
opportunity to exchange views very freely
with most of them. Portions of conver
sations I had with several of the eastern
senators impressed me very much. They
said that the great difficulty with our
people out on the Pacific coast was that
we had too few states, and consequently
too few senators. California should be
cut up into several states, and so wield'
a greater influence. The real amount of
the appropriations for public improve
ments was determined in the senate.
Our senatorial representation was not
large at the best. Referring to the ap
propriations for San Pedro, these east
ern gentlemen called my attention to the
undeniable fact that both the senators
from California were from the northern
portion of the state, and that they were
on the most cordial terms with the sena
tors from Oregon, also from the north,
and with the senators from Nevada, and
Stewart was notoriously most cordial to
Jones. Thus there were six senators
from this coast, every one of whom
was naturally opposed to any
large appropriations for Wilmington,
notwithstanding the fact that three sep
arate parties of government engineers
had reported in its favor. Of course,
this difficulty has been greatly increased
by the addition of two senators to the
northern coterie by the creation of the
new state of Washington. My eastern
interlocutors added that substantially,
owing to the senatorial courtesy, one
state received about as much of the gov
ernment money as another —Delaware as
much as California, big as the latter
was. They suggested that it would be a
highly expedient thing either to divide
the state or to obtain lor Southern Cali
fornia an occasional representative in
the senate of the United States.
True Cause of Falling off of Business at
Wilmington—Facts.
"In my interview with Mr. Hunting
ton yesterday I had no hesitation in giv
ing him facts. These gentlemen very
rarely come down to this country, and
they stay in it a very short time when
they do. It is a sort of 'fly by night'
flitting, so to speak. It is no" discourtesy
to say that their opportunities for
familiarizing themselves with the real
resources of the country an- limited, no
matter what their abilities may be, and
for my part I concede that they are and
must be considerable, business success
being a touchstone that I accept as I
would gold from the mint. I asked Mr.
Huntington yesterday why his company
did not do more for San Pedro. He said,
amongst other things, that the falling
off in business at that point had largely
influenced the company. I called his
attention to the fact that this fall
ing off in business was owing to
the other fact that his company
had allowed the Santa Fe people
to get in and undermine them. I told
him truly that the business had not
decreased one iota, but that his com
pany had allowed it to be diverted.
Owing to their failure to bring ship and
rail together, Redondo and San Diego
were reaping benefits and emoluments
that would have accrued to the Southern
Pacific under a more enlightened and
progressive system."
The True Inwardness.
Thus far the gentleman of the cham
ber of commerce has been allowed to
have his say. The Herald reporter
will add a few facts which will doubtless
account for the temporary decadence of
the harbor of Wilmington, When the
capitalists who built the Los Angeles
cable railway got ready to begin work
the}' npeded 20,000 barrels of cement.
They invited bids for its transportation
to Los Angeles. The Southern Pacific
agreed to haul it over its short line from
San Pedro for $1 a barrel. The Santa
Fe road agreed to haul it from San Diego
for 50 cents a barrel. As a matter of
course the contract was awarded to the
Santa Fe road, as why not?
The distance the Santa "Fe peo
ple had to haul the cement
was 12<i'.. miles, while the haulage of
the Southern Pacific was only twenty
two miles. Yet the long-haul people
charged only one half of the price de
manded by the short haul. That kind
of business method would take the
shingles off of any house. Then came
Redondo Beach and its wharf, from
which (goods were delivered at Los An-
I geles within two hours, over the Santa
Fe, from the landing of the vessel at
the wharf, in all cases where urgency
was required, as against the intermin
able delays and many vexations at San
Pedro, with the necessarily longer time
required to reach that harbor. The
business is as great as it ever was, but
some of it has been diverted to San
Diego and most of it to Redondo as a re
sult of the peculiar policy pursued by
■ the Southern Pacific.
Another feature of the business was
| the paralleling of the Southern Pacific
jby the Santa Fe, the building of
i branches to San Diego and the scooping
of the Riverside business by the same
vigilant corporation, the Southern Pa
cific contenting itself with Colton.
Mr. Huntington is right. The whole
Southern Pacific railway system has been
grossly mismanaged under the domina
tion of Stanford and politics, and it is
high lime that a change should take
place in the interest of genuine business
the enlightened programme outlined by
Mr. Huntington. The writer has seen
Mr. J. A. Fillmore, an official who is as en
ergetic as he is efficient, do some pretty
excited talking on the way the Southern
Pacific railway was being distanced in
Southern California, under a positively
j inexplicable policy. That it is to be
j changed we have the explicit declaration
of the new president of the Southern Pa
cific. The people of this section will
accept the new policy with acclaim, and
in the spirit of "may the best man win."
THE SUPERVISORS.
A Number of Road Matters Con
sidered.
At the meeting of the board of super
visors held yesterday, all the members
were present, and the following business
was transacted:
The hearing in the matter of the
Puente and Azusa bridge road was set

ships Nos. 1, 2, 3.
Certain streets in Rivera were declared
vacated.
The hearing in the matter of the old
river road was reset for June oth.
A resolution of intention to purchase
the old right-of-way of the California
Southern road at Garvanza for $3,750
was ordered published.
The county surveyor and Supervisors
Davis and Perry were appointed a com
mittee to have a survey made of the
road through Hammel and Denker's
land.
The county treasurer was directed to
advertise for the redemption of the fol
i lowing bonds: Interest and sinking fund
of 1881, $1,000; 1885, $5,000, and 1887,
$10,000.

A DOCTOR'S REIiUEB.
Immensely More Mischief than is Gen
erally Suspected.
Dr. King, the eminent medical writer, in a
learned disquisition on our national com
plaint, constipation, says: —
The great quantity of cathartic pills, etc.,
which are annually swallowed by the people of
this country lias been productive of immensely
more mischief than is generally suspected.
True, the physic unloads the bowels, but in so
doing its action tends to diminish the tone of
the intestines; so that, instead of removing the
costiveness, it aggravates it, leaving the bowels
in a more torpid condition.
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla was designed to
fill just such a contingency as the doctor's ar
raignment anticipates, viz.: instead of being a
powerful mineral purgative, it is a mild vege
table laxative, that, owing to its solvent and
gentle stimulating properties, is so certain a re
lief in constipation that it lias been given away
to hundreds, not to be paid for unless it was of
positive benefit. It replaces constipation almost
immediately with a natural easy habit, and is
so mild that, unlike drastic purgatives, it can
he taken indefinitely with perfect freedom and
safety.
