THE RACE TRACK PROPERTY
Stockholders Displeased With
the Lynch Bill
MANY OF THEM CLAIM FRAUD
Their Stock Sold to Associates and Now
It Is More Valuable
The State Releases Control of Agricultural
Park and Hereafter the Owners
Will Manage It
' For several days there has been consid
erable gossip in business circles over a re
cent change in the ownership and man
agement of tbe Agricultural Park, better
known as the race track, which is situated
on Jefferson street, and comprises eighty
acres.
As will be remembered by all the old
timers, the park was laid out in 1*79, and
Los Angeles then being a small place with
an undeveloped contiguous country, it did
not pay and was run for many years at a
heavy loss. Finally the original incor
porators mortgaged the property for sev
eral thousand dollars, and when the in
debtedness matured they could not meet it
and tis a result the property was sold to
J. M. Moore for (18,000. Shortly after
wards, in January. 1888, a new society in
corporated with \v. .1. Brodeick, William
Ferguson and F.. L. Maybe try as direc
tors, with UK) shares of ihe par value of
$PV each. This $13,000 so raised was paid
to Mi ore. who acquired hie deed from tiie
tho Sheriff, and he deeded the park to the
new corporation.
Finally on March. 10, 1888, the concern
was reincorporated by the following
seventy-tive gentlemen, living its they did
severally in all the counties comprised
within the Sixth District Agricultural As
sociation :

They incorporate,! under tiie provisions
M "an act to form agricultural districts;
to provide for the organization of agricul
tural associations therein, and for the
management and control of the same by
the state.
According to the articles of incorpora
tion the association was formed "for the
improvement of the material industries of
the counties constituting such district,
and for the purpose of purchasing, and
holding, and leasing real estate, and such
buildings as may be erected thereon, and
to sell, dispose of ami lease the same, and
to use such real estate for tiie purpose of .
holding exhibitions of horses, cattle and '
other stock of the agricultural, horticul- ,
tura!, viticuitural, mechanical, manufac
turing and domestic products of the said
district Xo. 6, with a view to the im
provement of all the industries of the
same. The term for which said associa
tion is formed shall be perpetual."
Soon after this last incorporation the
Agricultural Park, by a trust deed, was
deeded to the state and placed directly in
charge of the District Hoard of Agricul
ture. It was thereafter run by the stat.*
and maintained by appropriations of the
various legislatures which have met from
time to time. All the state fairs in the
district have been held in the park ever
since. All the losses have been met by \
the state and all the gains, if any, have
gone to the same source.
During the past four years the popula
tion of f.os Angeles has nearly doubled,
and the small towns in the vicinity have
grown proportionately. As a 'natural
result every year the attendance at the
state fairs has been larger and the income
gr a c .
Dm.tig all tula time the present stock
holders of the park have been powerless
to manage their own property mid share
in the profits. The only thing they could
touch was the lots 60x150, which oriLtin
allv were deeded to them witii each share
of stock.
They saw a wav out of the trouble, as j
they have won. By the passage of Sena- I
tor Lynch's bill the property reverts t'- j
them, as they are now tree to' manage it !
themselves. They can elect a board of i
directors, officers, and conduct their
affairs the same as any other Incorpor
ated body.
Since "the passage of the hill consider- j
able dissatisfaction has been shown by j
several of the former stockholders who
recently sold their stock to fellow stock
holders, as they claim that sharp practice
was resorted to in order to secure the
transfer.
For instance, C. F. A. Last, the wine
merchant, sold one share of his stock to K.
T. Wright for $125. Speaking about the
matter yesterday, Mr. Last said: "Wright
called upon me and said that he had a
friend who wanted my share. He made
me an offer, which was not satisfactory,
and, after considerable talking, he offered
me $125, and I took it. I think, at the
time he saw me, he knew that Lynch's
bill was going to he introduced, and lie
resorted to a peculiar practice when lie
came at that time to get my share oi
stock. I was a shareholder in'the park,
and if it was going to revert from the state
to the original owners, to be managed by
them, I should not have been approached
by a fellow stockholder' to part with my
stock when he withheld from me the fact's
of the case."
M. Levy, of the wholesale liquor firm of
M. Levy A Co., was seen by the Herald
man and he took exception to Wright's
system of securing possession of his share
of stock. "I sold my share to Wright for
$100," said Mr. Levy, ••and I am sure he
knew what was going on. He was no
doubt aware that Lynch's bill would be
introduced with every likelihood of its
becoming a law, and he should have ap
prised me of the fact, being a fellow stock
holder, and then bought, my stock, when
I knew everything concerning the matter,
provided I was disposed to sell. Had 1
known what I am convinced Wright
was aware of when lie gave me $101) for
my share. I would not have sold it at that
price. With the prospect of the asaocia
tion getting hold of its own properly and
running it, stock was certainly worth a
great deal more money."
President .1. C. Newton of the State
District. Board of Agriculture, who has
long and faithfully managed the Sixth
District Agricultural Society, was seen at
his farm yesterday by a Herald reporter.
"Captain, how did you first hear of Sen
ator Lynch's bill?"
"Captain A. W. Barrett, one of our di
rectors, went up to Sacramento to advo
cate the passage of a bill to create a
branch of the state fair at Los Angeles
and do away with the district fairs. Some
days ago he telegraphed me to come tip
and aid him, as the interests of our
locietv were in dancer. I went nn «t once.
and got there just in time to sec Speaker
Lynch's bill—house bill 440-pass both
houses and go to the Governor lor his ap
proval. It was too late for me to do any
thing, so I came back home, feeling that
1 have had four years of hard work for
nothing."
"What lias the board of directors done
about it. And, by the way, are you a
stockholder in tlie old organization?"
"I own no stock in it nor did 1 ever
own any. There are four of us who own
ho stock "whatever. We paid out over
$30110 last year for street work done on the
east side of the sproperty, the object of
which I could not see at that time, hut I
see it plainly enough now. It was to make
the state pay street taxes for property
which is now sought to be grabbed by
these speculators. 1
"You evidently don't fancy this style of
procedure, Mr. Newton," said The Herald
man. "I don't fancy anything that
smacks of jobbery and underhanded
tricks," said the Sturdy little farmer, his
eyes blazing with honest indignation.
"I have my opinion of men," he contin
ued, "who will sit in a meeting of a
board with nte, day after day and week
after week, pretending to labor for the
good of the concern, and then turn
around and give it the knife in the back."
"Y'ott have evidently no objections,
then, to be put on record as not favoring
the hill?"
"None whatever, sir," replied Captain
Newton, "hut there is still hope that it I
may be upset. My idea is that a trust
deed is perpetual or that its force cannot
be suspended until its objects are com
plete. Suppose I had been a drunkard
or a gambler, and my father had died anil
left a will in which he designated you as a
trustee or guardian of me as an incompe
tent person. Would your death invalidate
that trust and give me control of the prop
erty? Not much; the control of that
property would still be in the Probate
Court, and the Judge would appoint your
Successor in the trust. No, sir; a trust is
perpetual, and the courts will so decide.
That law is not worth the paper it is writ
ten on."
"How did Governor Budd come to sign
it?''
"Undera misapprehension, to my idea.
He is a good man and has no sympathy
with people who deal doubly."
"When do the directors of the state
association meet." asked The Herald's
representative.
Tomorrow morning, Thursday, at 10
o'clock, and it would not surprise me if
there would be a little fur in the air."
"Good morning,'' said Mr. Newton,
"and good luck to The Herald, for I know
it will report me all straight enough. I
have said nothing but what 1 am at till
times ready to live by. I never shirk re
sponsibility and I propose to live up to
all I have said. "
As the reporter rode away the sturdy
old farmer mounted the sulky behind his
handsome colt Titus and was off for a
morning jog on iiis race track.
Louis Thorne, secretary of tho Agricul
tural Association, was seen yesterday
afternoon by The Herald man, who asked
him the direct question if the Lynch bill
had been passed for tiie purpose of can
celling tiie trust deed to the state so that
the stockholders of the park can cut up
tin |240,000 worth of property and sell it
as t iwn lots when the land originally
cost less than 113,000,
"Xo, sir," emphatically replied Mr.
Thome. "1 have heard these rumors for
some time, and I am glad that you have
come to me for a statement. 'The facts
are these: The time has come when Agri
cultural Park is a paying institution, and
1 think, as all the rest of the stockholders
do, that the owners and incorporators
should reap the benefit of their invest
ment. That is the reason, and the only
reason why the Lynch hill was offered.
By the very terms of the bill the land can
not be sold nor used for any purpose save
for an Agricultural Park." Here is the
clause: 'The stockholders shall have no
authority to sell any portion of the
estate owned and held by it
by whatever title derived, 'which
may be necessary for the permanent
use of such association for the purposes
aforesaid. 1 That clause alone would stop
us from subdividing or selling, and be
sides as a park the property will now
return a handsome revenue and we would
have nothing to gain by selling."
"Is it a fact," queried The Herald man,
"tli.it y.ui and Mr. Wright have bought
up stock, withholding from those from
Whom you purchased that the bill of Sen
ator Lynch would be introduced, and
thereby Increase in value the stock you
sought to buy?"
1 here is no.truth in the statement. I
simply bought five shares as I had a
ri;;lit to do as a business investment, and
I fail to see how I did anything which
might be construed as being questionable.
To show you that very Tittle stock lias
changed hands since August (I, 1801, I
will show you the stock book."
The book was produced and the pages
laid before the reporter. During that
time but fifteen shares have been trans
ferred, and six of those were between
members of the same family so as to give
them track privileges.
E. T. Wright, one of the stockholders in
the local association, was seen, and he
laughe I heartily at the mention of fraud.
"1 have bought a tew shares recently and
am now willing to buy all 1 can get hold
of. The stock is a good investment and
going to improve in value. I did nothing
questionable, and I defy anyone to show
that I have. Of course, now that we are
going to manage our own property the
slock is more valuable, and I am still
willing to buy it. I have nothing to do
with Lynch's bill, and did not know that
it. was going p. he offered when 1 bought
up the stock, concerning which so much
talk is now going on."
Frank Hicks, of Hicks* Montgomery,
was seen at his ntlirc by a Herald re
porter, lie was asked:
"Mr. Hicks, what do you think of the
racetrack deal; have you sold your stock
yet?"
"No, sir: I have not sold my stock, and
I refused $500 a share for it. nearly three
mouths ago. I have several shares and I
propose to get some good lots for them,
Other people have bad the use and benefit
of our property for years, and we are
merely getting back what rightfully be
longs to us."
John W Griffin was next seen at his
saloon, the Cabinet, on Second street
where he was asked:
"Mr. Griffin, do you want to sell your
racetrack stock?' 1
"Xo sir, I have none to sell. Some of
tin s' days that track will cease to be used
for racing purposes and then I shall get
two good lots for my stock."
"They say that all the best allotments
have been already taken up by parties
wdio are on the inside of the Agricultural
Society's management."
"Now, how could that be?" asked Mr
Griffin. "The bill has only been a law
three days and no certified copy has been
received here. Until that comes there
can he no distribution of the property and
no lots given to or located by anybody "
"Did you know that the bill had been
passed? "
"Not till this afternoon." said Mr
Griffin.
"Did you not contribute to paving the
expenses of a lobbyist, to go to Sacramento
and work this job through the legisla
ture. r
"Not a dollar did 1 give. I was too
busy in other quarters to pay any atten

POINTS ON TEMPERATURE
Where Thermometers Should
EXPERT FRANKLIN'S VIEWS
Interesting Facts About Currents of Hoi
An Approximate Temperature ol a Large
"lass of Air the Object of the
Weather Bureau
In Southern California the question of
weather is essentially a business one.
There can be no doubt about this when
a drop of a couple of degrees in the ther
mometer may cost this section several
milions of dollars, if it happens at a certain
time. Hence the question of temperature
is a most important one and is given
much attention by a good many amateur
observers, as well as by the official Gov
ernment expert, who is stationed here.
For years past there has been a consider
able amount of friction between the out
side observers and some of the general
public on the one hand, and the local
Weather Bureau on the other, the ques
tion always turning on the records of
low temperature and the location of ther
mometes. That of the Weather Bureau
is located on the roof of a high building
on Spring street in the center of the city,
while those of most of the amateur ob
servers are placed nearer the ground. It
is naturally to be supposd that the Gov
ernment department, which makes a spe
cialty of keeping track of the weather,
should know what it is about, and adopt
methods which experience has shown to
be the best. At the request of The Her
ald Mr. Franklin, the local weather ob
server, has furnished the following re
marks on the subject of the location of
thermometers:
"That feature of thermometer exposure
which most affects the extremes of temp
erature, as recorded by the Weather Bu
reau, is the altitude of the thermometer
shelter, and that, too, not only above the
roof of the building and above the
ground at its base, but especially in its
relation to the topograhy of the ground
for several miles around the station. As
the Weather Bureau thermometers are
established at an elevation of 10 to 1"» feet
above the roofs of high buildings, or, fail
ing these. If) feet above some elevated
ground, and are, therefore, exposed to any
breeze that may blow, therefore the max
ima or midday temperatures are not often
so largely affected by the height above
the ground as are the minima or
nocturnal readings. During calms, and
especially during calm nights, the cold
air settles in the low lands ami Hows down
rivers, valleys and ravines as far as fresh,
cool air can be supplied from above.
Thermometers stationed on high build
ings are often entirely above the layer of
cold air near the ground beneath them,
and similarly with the thermometer in
low valleys, as compared with those on
bluffs and hills near by. Consequently
minimum temperatures, as reported by
regular Weather Bureau stations, which
are elevated as much as possible above the
surrouding region, are appreciably higher
than those reported from voluntary sta
tions in the neigh boh ood, since the latter
are almost invariably near the ground.
No correction has been made for this
source of discrepancy. The very object
of exposure at such altitudes above the
ground as are adopted by the Weather
Bureau, is to obtain an approximation to
the average temperature 01 a large mass
of air Mowing by the station and forming an
integral part of the circulation around
areas of high and low pressure. The
temperatures thus observed are espe
cially adapted to the needs of dynamic
meteorology, whereas those observed by
thermometers nearer the earth's surface
are appropriate to the study of climate in
its relations to animal and vegetable life
within very restricted areas.
"William M. I>avis, professor of physi
cal geography in Harvard College, speak
ing of nocturnal temperatures in his re
cent treatise on meteorology, says that a
general decrease of temperature is en
countered as we ascend the atmosphere,
hut in the case of the air over a dry pla
teau on a long winter night, the cooling
Of the lower layers may lie so great as to
reduce them to a de cidedly lower temp
erature than that Of the air at the height
of several hundred feet aloft.
"Such condition is known as an in
version of temperature. This condition
may prevail about sunset, the tempera
ture of the air then being between the
extremes of high noon and late night.
When the sun's rays are no longer felt,
the cooling: that had begun in the after
noon In continued for a time more rapidly,
ami the whole mass of the atmosphere is
BOmewhat reduced in temperature. At
the same time, the surface of the ground
cools much more rapidly, and by midnight
it may have fallen to a temperature close
to Fahrenheit zero. The air near it is also
greatly cooled by radiation and conduc
tion to its cold surface, and before morn
ing falls to a temperature much lower
than that of the air many feet above the
ground. The decrease of'temperature by
radiation from the ground progresses
rapidly at tirst. when it is but little cooler
than the air above it; but late at night,
when a strong contrast of temperature
between ground and air is developed,
further cooling of the ground, and thus of
the air close to it, is somewhat checked
by radiation from the above. As the
lower air cools, its expansive force de
creases; the overlying air, no longer borne
up by expansive force equal to its weight,
settles down a small distance, compressing
the air beneath and thus increasing its
density and restoring its expansive force
to its former equality with the weight
from above.
"This process is not intermittent in na
ture, but is continually operating at every
level in the atmosphere to maintain the
equality between the downward weight
from above and the upward expansive
force from below." Inversions of tempera
ture are of much commoner occurence than
is generally understood. They probably
occur to a greater or less degree cverv
clear night on our dry Western plains.'
Examples of their effect may be often seen
in a small way in late spring frosts, when
lower leaves of shrub may be nipped,
while the upper branches are unharmed.
In a larger way and aided by other pro
cesses the milder temperature of low liills
than that, of adjacent valley taittoms at
night could be explained, "and it could
also be shown that the quietness of the air
at night depends largely on the occurence
of or approach to temperature inversions
of the kind thus explained."
The Bank Robber Held
Ellsworth Myers, the Azusa bank rob
ber, was taken to Azusa yesterday, where
his preliminary examination was held

by the witnesses was substantially the
same as the story told in The Herald yes

W. T. Williams, Esq., appeared for the
people, and Myers was held with bonds set
at 12009.
He was returned to the County Jail last
evening by Constable Crawford i>f Azusa.

ANOTHER OIL WELL PROTEST
Residents on the Edge of the
Oil District Kick
ANTICIPATING THE BORERS
Residents on Central Avenue Object to a
Planing Mill
A Fireman Who Resigned Prematurely and
How It v orked Routine of the
Fire Commission
Another move to limit the district
where oil wells may be put down, was in
augurated yesterday. The start was made
before the Fire ('ommission. A protest
was presented which contained the signa
tures of twenty-five residents of the block
bounded by Court, Beaudry, Temple and
Fireman streets. The protest was against
the granting of permits to bore for oil in
the block.
Fred Wood, of the Temple street cable
road, was one of the protestants and came
before the commission to present argu
ments in its favor. Mr. Wood tersely re
marked that the protestants had no desire
to throttle an infant industry, but they
did believe in putting some control about
it.
There are no wells in the block now
and many fine residences are contained
therein. A few vacant lots are held by
non-residents, and the protestants have
been informed of an effort being made to
lease these lots for the purpose of sinking
oil wells thereupon.
The Fire Commission, after consider
able debate, decided that all it could do
was to refuse to issue permits to erect
boilers and derricks on lots in this block,
and refer the protest to the Councils Upon
motion of Commissioner Vetter this
action was taken.
J. Jaeger came before the Fire Commis
sion yesterday with a protest against the
moving of a steam boiler from Crocker
street to 325 Towne street by ex-Council
man Thomas Strohm. The matter was
referred to Chief Moore.
A petition was received from F. W.
Strange, a contractor, to be allowed to
erect a planing mill on Central avenue,
between Second and Third streets. A pro
test against the erection was also received.
Both sides claimed to have a majority of
the frontage represented on their papers,
and the matter was laid over one week
for investigation and further petitions
and protests.
The report of the Chief recommended
that the petition from General John Mans
field to have the fire limits extended from
the center of the block between Broadway
and Hill street to the center of Hill street,
be granted. The commission decided to
file it. Mr. Kuhrts stated that the limits
had been jumping back and forth every
time a church needed an addition or some
one wanted to build a wooden flat on Hill
street, and the limits had better lie left
where they are until Hill street is built up.
The petitions of W. s. Fullerton & Co.,
to bore for oil, and Russell & Wilson, to
put in an oil tank at 113 West Third street,
were granted.
A petition from George X. Beach, R. 0.
Thomas and Dr. J. Schmidt, was received
asking to be allowed to sink a number of
oil wells, and was referred to the Chief.
A petition from the Union Oil Company
asking to be allowed to build a large oil
tank on Olive street, was referred to the
Chief.
The application of John Garvey, driver
of truck No. 1, to receive three weeks' re
lief from the tire department relief fund,
was referred to the Chief. About six
months ago Garvey slid down the pole at
the engine house when an alarm of fire
was turned in, and lit on the back of a
chair. His hip was Injured slightly, but
since then a lump has formed where the
bruise was, ami he has been unable to
perform his duties for three weeks past.
The resignation of O. A. Eby, as a call
man, was accepted. Khy had a little
trouble with the Chief, and wrote out his
resignation. Afterwards he desired to
withdraw it, but it went in and was ac
cepted.
J. L. Rogers and .1. J. Lee sent applica
tions to be appointed callmen. The appli
cations were hied.
The Chief stated to the commission that
a clerk in the employ of Haywood Bros.,
in their furniture factory at the corner of
College and Main streets, had asked that
the building occupied by the firm be con
demned as unsafe.
The building is a three-story brick. In
company with Street Superintendent
Strange the Chief examined 1 lie building,
and while he does not consider it a sub
stantial structure, he did not feel like
condemning it. Xo action was taken.
The committee on rides for the depart
ment submitted a new set of rules which
were adopted and ordered printed.
