THE TAXPAYERS.
A Meeting of the Protective
Association Yesterday.
Forty Thousand Dollars Never
Accounted For.
Who Got That Boodle for Court House
Plumbing?
Expert Moore's Sensational Charges—He
Tells the Result of Some of His In
vestigation—Other Matters.
The Taxpayers' union, an organiza
tion formed to correct abuses in the city
and county government, held its regular
meeting yesterday in Forester's hall,
107 North Main street. The attendance
was rather small, there being only about
twenty-rive or thirty present when the
meeting was called to order at 10 o'clock.
Among those present the following were
noticed: 11. C. Dillon, E. A. Brunson,
0. A. Coffinan, Francis Biggy, H. H.
Boyce, P. Brady, G. Tononi, I. Reed, R.
■I. Adcock, E. J. Nolan, B. 8. Eaton,
William D. Gould, James Clark, Judge
Sanborn, A. H. Judson, W. T. Kend
ricks, Fldgar Moore, L. Lichtenberger
and Joseph Mesmer.
The chair was occupied by President
Lichtenberger, and Joseph Mesmer acted
as secretary. The first business dis
cussed was an address to the tax payers of
Los Angeles county. The document was
quite lengthy, and among other things
stated that the taxes of Los Angeles
county for 00-01 amounted to $1,005,
--888.14, the population being 100,000,
making an average of $10 for each per
son. The taxes in Los Angeles city were
$71)l,(i50.!l« or about $15.83 for each per
son, making a total of $25.83 tax for
each person in the city. It then went
on to accuse the county officers of in
competence, ignorance and rascality, to
declare the accounts to De incorrectly
kept, and that it is hinted that public
officials who have charge of the county ex
penditures are playing into each other's
hands to steal everything in sight. It
concludes with a description of the Tax
payers' union, its aims and objects, aud
inviting all to co-operate with the union
in exercising a general supervision over
county affairs, and investigating the
rumors of corruption, etc., now in circu
lation. The address as read was adopt
ed by the union, and will soon be print
ed and circulated.
About a dozen new members signed
the roll and paid a dollar apiece into
the treasury. It was stated by the sec
retary that the list of paid-up mem
bers included thirty-nine names, while
the roll of those In sympathy with the
movement numbered a few over 150
namej.
In the general business of the meet
ing the by-laws were amended so as to
require a $500 bond for the treasurer.
James Clark, of Pasadena, was elected
vice-president, in place of D. F. Bell.
Printed applications for membership
were given to the members to be circu
lated among taxpayers. A seal was
adopted, the design of which was a dog
guarding a safe, containing the name of
the union. A committee consisting of
W. D. Gould, W. Keudrick and A. H.
Judson, was appointed to consider the
advisability of incorporating the union,
and to prepare articles of incorporation,
should they decide in favor thereof.
At this point Mr. E. Moore, the ex pert
who has been engaged in examining the
county records, was called upon For a
statement.
He said he was not yet prepared to
make a full report, but as soon as the
union was properly organized he had
sufficient data with legal evidence to
back it to furnish the board, so it might
go ahead with its work. He said the
minutes of the board of supervisors
were very poorly kept, a number of
their acts are not entered on the min
utes at. all, and you can't trace them.
The same carelessness presents itself in
the demands allowed by the board.
Many of them are not sworn to, many
not O. X.'d by the officer who has
charge of the work for which the de
mand is made, many are not even
signed, many he knows have been
allowed when absolutely no service was
rendered. These demands have all bad
warrants drawn for them, and have
been paid.
He said he had discovered a number
of forced balances of accounts. The tax
collector's balances foi the year 1889,
when Mr. Bullis was tax collector,
showed that over $40,000 had been col
lected on personal property which had
never been turned over to the treasurer.
Yet the balances appeared all right and
in proper shape. He was still working
on this matter gathering details, yet he
knew what he stated was positively the
case.
He said there had within the past
three years been between $6000 and $7000
spent in repairing the old courthouse.
Five thousand dollars of this had gone
for plumbing. Mr. Moore then stated
that the board of supervisors had taken
steps to endeavor to head off this inves
tigation but without avail. He said the
district attorney, auditor and treasurer
were with the union.
Mr. Mesmer wanted to know how
much the Lockwood, Damron and Edel
man trials had cost the county, as be
considered the expenditures larger than
necessary.
Mr. Lichtenberger made a statement
reflecting upon the coroner. He said
the coroner has been holding a number
of post mortem examinations where
there is no necessity for it. He cited
the case of a negro woman who died of
cancer of long standing. Though she
died under physicians' care, who issued
certificates of death, the coroner insisted
upon holding a post mortem, for which
the county had to pay. He knew of
two other cases, and he had all the data
and names of witnesses. This should
also be looked into.
A motion was made to adjourn, but
was defeated in order to allow the pre
sentation of a motion changing the date
of meeting to the first Friday in each
month. This being done, the union ad
journed.
AN EMINENT WOMAN.
Professor E. J. French on Her Way
to Europe.
Professor E. J. French closed her
classes on Thursday, preparatory •to
starting for the east this week. The
lady is at the head of the profession as
regards the use of electricity in medi
cine, and those who sneer at women
physicians would be surprised to know
now many of the beat male physicians
of Lob Angeles have been numbered
among Professor French's pupila during
her stay in this city. A Herald repre
sentative, who attended one of her pri
vate lectures, was particularly struck by
the intense attention of her auditors, all
of them elderly, grave, educated persons,
many of the physicians, yet not refusing
to be taught by a woman. The lecture
over the professor was submitted to a
rapid cross-fire of questions, which she
answered readily, and the questions and
answers occupied as much time as the
lecture had done.
Professor French, it will be remem
bered, is the mother of Mrs. Mary
French-Sheldon, the lady is now explor
ing Africa, over much the same route as
that traveled by Stanley. The professor
is about to start east, the end of her
journey, to be in Naples, where she will
meet Mrs. Sheldon on her return from
Africa in June.
DANIEL GRISWOLD.
He Has Been Lost for Four Years
Past.
Mrs. Henry Arnold, of Farno, Wayne
county, Perm., is anxious to find out the
whereabouts of Daniel S. Griswold. He
is described as being now about 55 years
old, and all she knows about him is
that four years ago he was known to be
in this city, but no one has heard any
thing of him since.
SOME FASHION TRUTHS.
HALF-LENGTH COATS AND HEEL
LESS SHOES SCORED.
You Mustn't Dross All Aliks—Chillies,
Satins and Jets—Evening Gowns—Lace
for Summer.
San Francisco, April 30. —Alas, the
day! What is th« matter with the
girls? Why, oh why, will they firmly
set their little noddles to work, and de
termine to look just alike? It'sashame.
It's more than that—it's a burning
shame. Those dreadful half-length
coats, that cut off the figure, are just
bearable on a tall, willowy woman ; but
when plump Miss Peacbes-and-Cream
wbars one she's —well, it's slang and
very dreadful; but it's what I mean, so
I'll say it boldly— she's a sight!
Besides that, she's just about ten long
weary years behind the day. People
don't do that way now. No, they do
not, really. Every woman that is
a woman, and wants to be
in the mode, just lies awake nights
thinking wrinkles into her forehead,
trying to conjure up some entirely dif
ferent way to dress—different from her
dearest friend, and entirely, oh, entirely
different from her dearest foe.
Sometimes they happen to be the
same person, which simplifies things.

Have you noticed the delicate sea
green, shell-pink and cornflower laces?
They're lovely. And there are some chal
lies in tiie market that are blisses. There
are new India silks, too, and they're
very good to look at, very good indeed,
and they're better still to wear.
They droop so beautifully, and then
they're as cool and comforting as a flash
of sea-foam on a dusty day.
Well, satin is coming in again. That's
what they say, at least. The "they"
I mean is the mysterious being that be
gins with a capital, a very big capital
T, and it means more than any pronoun
alive.
Satin has its virtues, without doubt.
It is rich and splendid and impressive,
but it has also a few vices of its own.
One of these vices is, that there are
sucii odious, cheap things called satin,
and if you get a gown of the real thing
you must make up your mind to be
petrified by meeting your cook arrayed
in an exact imitation the very next
week.
Then the array of stout women always
insist on wearing black satin and jet.
Just as the very thin women persist in
donning huge checks, and it becomes a
sort of livery after a bit.
#**
Jet, by the by, is coming in. Com
ing in I It's simply rushing in. Now, a
word or two about this same jet. It is
bright and.sparkling, there's no denying
it, but too much of it is a mistake. One
likes to see an Amazon march on the
stage, bnt one doesn't care to wear a
blonde wig and rouge de theatre in the
Btreet. See the point?
» *
Evening gowns are entrancing. They
are using soft laces in combination with
bright brocades, and the effect is gor
geous. A draped front of beautiful lace
with a white and gold brocade en train
is striking, isn't it?

"No corset covers and no heels."
That's what an eastern fashion writer
stiys. A writer, too, that usually knows
a thing or so, and knows them pretty
well. Now the first no, is all right.
Corset covers are out of date, as much
so as the long, cumbersome, old-fash
ioned chemise. A silk vest that will
give and stretch accordingly, yet never
grows big or bulgy, is the only thing
thought of in the way of bodice under
wear.
But no heels! Think of it, ye gener
ous footed mortals! Imagine a large,
energetic woman, with feet to match,,
literally flopping her way through the
awe-stricken-.multitude! For flop she
would if she hadn't a heel to help her.Now
there be heels and .heels, and there be
places and places. Places where they
are as inappropriate as a gold-handled
flat-iron, and places where they are
very, very pretty and timely.
A high-heeled, pin-pointed Parisian
heel that comes precisely in the middle
of the foot is not pretty. Not at all.
But it's fetching, awfully fetching. But,
no girl as knows her "society as I
found it," would think of being fetching
on the street. Never! She may be
dainty and she may be neat, but she
must look as if she didn't want anyone
to dream she had a complexion, or a
figure, or anything else delicious and
difficult.
At home, oh, that's different. Pointed
toes, mites of slippers, and towers of
heels, anything that makes a foot pretty
and pleasing to the beholders—l was
going to say—bachelor's eye. Don't
you think so?
The proper thing in boots for the
streets now, are broad-heeled, and toes
not at all pointed. Low heels, broad
heels, but heelleßS—the fates forfend.
I believe that writer had eaten hard
boikd eggs for supper when she dreamed
that hideous nightmare of an idea.

Lace is the thing for summer, and
some of the summer hats and summer
parasols are simply fluffy towers of it.
The summer hat, by the same whim,
has taken to growing to an alarming ex
tent. It has stretched from a butter
plate to a sauce*, and from a saucer to a
desert plate, in the last eventful four
teen days. By next week it will be a
platter. It's pretty, though; delight
fully pretty, and it's cool and summer
resort looking. Mmk. Lk Vanway.
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 3, 1891.
ON TO SALT LAKE.
The Road Will be Built in a
Year.
So Hon. Jeff* Chandler States in
an Interview.
The Plans of the Terminal Railway
Company Happily Outlined.
An Enthusiastic View of Los Angeles
and the Surroundings—San Pedro to
be the Harbor.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat of April
27th contains the following interview
with Colonel Jeff Chandler, regarding
the Terminal railway of this city :
"The Los Angeles Terminal railway
company has concluded all arrange
ments to complete its terminal system
at Los Angeles by the lst of September,
1891. This system embraces about
eighty miles of railway and large and ad
equate grounds in the city of Los Angeles
for yards and switching proposes and
the general business of a first-class rail
road system. The company has also
about 3000 acres of land, commanding
one entire side of San Pedro harbor
and the approaches thereto. This
harbor is about four hundred and fifty
miles south of San Francisco and 120
miles north of San Diego on the Pacific
coast, and the only intermediate port
between them, It has about eighteen
feet of water at low tide now, and is be
ing improved by the goverement with a
view of securing a uniform depth of
thirty feet, to accommodate vessels com
ing to the f'acific ocean through the
canal across the isthmus, which is now
in course of construction. San Pedro
will be the shipping port for Southern
California. A high range of mountains
extends east and west between Los An
geles and San Francisco, over which
all north and south railroads must for
ever climb. This rugged barrier to heavy
traffic by railway guarantees the su
premacy of water transportation be
tween the northern and southern Pacific
coast points for all time to come. San
Pedro is the most eligible harbor for the
collection and distribution of heavy com
mercial substances of the Southern Pa
cific coast, and is twenty-three miles
distant from Los Angeles. The pros
perity of railroads, in the region includ
ing and tributary to Southern California
is assured by the creation and recon
struction of industries therein. The
speculative era in town sites has passed
away, and the growth of the country
now rests on solid principles. The agri
cultural lands are being steadily occu
pied and improved under a constant in
creasing valuation.
Much has been written of Southern
California and the adjacent country that
to those unfamiliar with the subject has
the appearance of exaggeration. If,
however, an estimate of the future of
railroad property there is measured by
the capacity of the country to furnish
tonnage, it will be seen that no over
estimate has been made. It requires
about thirty acres of ordinary farming
land throughout the west to produce one
carload of freight, while in the fruit re
gions of the southern Pacific coast one
acre has produced within the present
year three carloads. Much of the orange
and other fruit lands pay a net annual
income of from $300 to $500, $600, and Up
to $1200. Thousands of acres oi trees of
various character are being planted dur
ing the present year, and the fruit-grow
ing limits are being constantly ex
tended.
What that country demands is addi
tional railways. This is also true of the
southern mountain region, near South
ern California. A line of railway ought
to be constructed from Los Angeles to
Salt Lake city, there to unite with the
multitude of roads spreading through
the intermountain region and the north
western states. This vast region would
eagerly take up the productions of South
ern California, and return to the fruit
growing country an abundance of coal,
iron and timber. Salt Lake City is de
veloping into one of the most beautiful,
aggressive and wealthy of American
cities. It ia situated in the midst of
the richest mineral substances existing
in any part of the American union. It
is surronnded by a much larger area of
agricultural country than is generally
supposed to be tributary to it. It will
soon be the seat of great commercial,
manufacturing and smelting interests.
It far enough removed from all compet
ing cities to draw to it immense wealth.
The distance between Salt Lake and
San Pedro harbor is 100 miles shorter
than from Salt Lake to San Francisco.
The grades along a line of railway to
the southwest from Salt Lake to the
ocean would not exceed fifty feet to the
mile, while they are much greater on
all present lines of railway. A line of
fast seagoing ships plying'between San
Francisco and San Pedro would enable
-railways operating to San Pedro harbor
to reach all points on the Pacific coast,
including San Francisco, as expeditious
ly as those points are now reached by
the present lines of road.
The Rio Grande Western is slowly but
surely building down to the southwest
ern seacoast. The terminal system
spoken of above is prepared to unite
with all roads coming into that region,
and to furnish them ample facilities for
handling any quantity of traffic. The
construction of a line of. road to the
southwest from the terminus of the Rio
Grande Western would open up to
Southern California connection with the
Chicago and Northwestern, the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific and the Bur
lington system, and, indeed, all other
northern line. Salt Lake City and Los
Angeles have it in their power to secure
within the next year the completion of
this line of railway by contributing
reasonably to that end. It is believed
that this will be done, and that South
ern California a year hence will be sup
plied with ac good railroad facilities as
any section of the Pacific coast.

DEPOT ROBBERS.
They Burglarize Two Santa Fe Sta
tions.
On Monday night a robbery was com
mitted in Azusa, the station being burg
larized and $110 taken from the till. The
burglar entered at a window which had
been left unfastened, took a hammer
and smashed the bottom of the cash
drawer and extracted over $110 there
from. He then took a turn at the ticket
case, in which a few dollars in change
were found, rummaged through the
drawers and papers and broke open an
express package of books.
On the same night the Glendora de
pot was robbed, but fortunately the cash
had all been removed except afewcents.
Ex-Chief of Police Burns, the Santa Fe
chief of detectives, is busy working on
the case, but has not secured the guilty
parties as yet. A party of tough looking
tramps had been camped near the depot
the night before, and w.ho broke into
the Azusa hotel the night of the rob
bery and took oysters, crackers and oth
er eatables, are suspected of being the
thieves.
A National Event.
The holding of the World's Fair in a city
scarcely fifty years old will be a remarkable
event, but whether it will really benefit this na
tion as much as the discovery of the Restorative
Nervine by Dr. Franklin Miles is doubtful.
This Is just what the American people need to
cure their excessive nervousness, dyspepsia,
headache, dizziness, sleeplessness, neuralgia,
