OIL ORDINANCE VETOED
m
THE MAYOR DOES NOT APPROVE
THE PROPOSED MEASURE
PROF. SADTLER MAKES REPLY
Comments on Some Criticisms of His
Asphalt Analyses—Auditor's
Balance Sheet—Park Salary
At Monday's council meeting Mayor Sny
der will return wiihnut his approval the
ordinance passed at the last session of the
council prohibiting tho drilling, pumping
or operating of oil wells within 100 feet of
any schoolhouse. In vetoing the measure
the mayor claims that he Is but doing just-
Ice to the many property owners whose in
terests would be virtually ruined by the
enforcement of such a law.
Virtually there are but two schoolhouse.'
affected by the proposed ordinance—the
Union avenue and tho Alpine street. There
are a.lrcadv. It Is said, some fifty wells In
operation within the proscribed distance of
one or the other of these structures. Kach
well cost something over tSOOO, which would
mean that (100,000 worth of property would
be rendered practically valueless by the
measure. .
Again, he asserts that, even should .he
wells a - , present down be allowed to con
tinue operations but the drilling of any
new holes be prohibited. It would again
work an Injustice, Tor the reason that a
man nvght be prohibited from Utilising hi'
ground for wells when It lay. say. 3"--" fe#t
from a schoolhouse. while a well already
down within 290 feet of the structure was
allowed io work.
"The tire commissioners have granted
permits to thes» men to here for oil nnd
operate their plants." said he. "and it
would be gross injustice to the well own-I
ers to render their property valueless, as I
th" ordinance would undoubtedly do if en
forced." I
REPLIES TO CRITICISMS
Prof. Sadtler Again Goes Over the
Asphalt Tests
Tt seems that the ghost of the asphalt
fight will not down, and time hut serves to
bring to the front new arguments pro and
eon on a question which all had supposed
definitely settled When a disinterested
(•stern ehem'.st, Prof. Samuel P. Sadtler
of Philadelphia, was engaged to analyze
and report on various samples, which ne
did.
Instead of settling the question, the
■Western Oil and Asphalt company, whose
asphalt was given a secondary rank as
paving mat -rial, at once had a report on
their asphalt prepared and submitted to
th" members of the council. In this report
the deductions of Prof. Sadtler were at
tacked and statements conflicting with
those made by him advanced. casting
doubt on the result of his analyses.
This document was sent on to Prof.
Sadtler hy City Clerk Hance. and yester
day the following self-explanatory reply
was received:
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 81, 1898.
C. H. Hance, City Clerk. Los An
geles. Cal—Dear Sir: Your favor of
the 12th Inst., enclosing a communica
tion from the Western Oil and Asphalt
company, criticising my report on the
several asphalts recently examined by
me. is at hand, with a request that I re
turn I! after examination.
You do not ask me to discuss It. so I
shall not do more than call attention to
a few statements which I think are In
accurate. I have also received a let
ter from the pri sident of the same com
pany, which I have answered, and
which answer Mr. Brown Is at liberty to
show in Its entirety. If he wishes.
In the first place it is not correct that
my conclusions were based upon the
physical tests only, and are at variance
with the results of the ohemical exam
ination. When the bitumens are com
pared directly, as is done in the second
table of my report, it is seen that the
ratio of petrolene and asphalt'-ne Is a
shade better with the Alcatras 4B and
In 1A of the Western Oil and Asphalt
company. With the liquid Muxes, the
3B Is distinctly better than 2A. and its
petrolene is more tenacitius and thicker
and It contains 11.76 per cent of asphalt
ene. giving ft body.
As to the I] per cent of fine silica
contained in the Alcatras sample 48.
you can see thai, as we use only ten
pans of the paving cement, previ
ously fluxed with 1.5 parts <-,f the liquid
asphalt, In making up the briquettes,
It increases the total amount of for
eign matter in a very flight degree.
The sole use of the powdered I'.me
steme or other finely-powdered mineral
matter is to till ihe voids between the
particles of asphalt-covered sand, and
that Is the only way in which it can
add strength to the mixture. I satis
lied myself by a careful inspection of
the briquettes on the broken surfufrs
that this end was attained in the ease
of each of the mixtures.
As to the proportions I used being
unfair to the Western Oil and Asphalt
company's sample, it was a purer as
phalt than the other. I will repeat what
1 said in my letter to Mr. Brown. 1 have
made numerous mixtures in the past
for physical tests in which 1 have used
Bermudas asphalt, which is a 88.5 pure
bitumen, fluxing it with different liquid
asphalts In the proportion of 10 to 1.3
parts, and made this aaphaltlc cement
so obtained Into briquettes, with SS.S
parts of sand and powdered limestone,
and got results equal to the best quoted
in this report.
The communication r-alls attention
to What It terms "the errors of Prof.
Sadtler In constantly referring to the
Western Oil and Asphalt uolld sample
1A as a paving cement."
I weiulcl only say that it was so
labelled and referred to In all the com
munications received by me In connec
tion with the matter, and I hail no
knowledge of what its manufacturers
Claimed for it or how they proposed
to use it. except that it was to be
fluxid with 2A.
With regard to the suposed lack of
judgment In not varying the propor
tions of the several mixtures so as
"to secure the best results from each,"
it is a sufficient answer to say that I
felt I was obliged to use them accord
ing to their designations, and treat 1A
paving cement in same way as IB pav
ing cement, each to be fluxed in the
same proportion with its appropriate
flux. Moreover, after making the chem
ical analyses and heating tests, I had
barely enough of the samples 1A and
4B to make up the 1200 trams of pav
ing mixture needed for the physical
tests. I was not asked to conduct a series
of experiments in ordi r to determine
what mixtures would give the best re
sults for each variety of asphalt nor
did f promise to do so when 7 wrote
originally.
I hero are a number nr Insinuations
ami vague charges of unfairness which
I will not take further Bpace to ans
wer, as the facts already stated luf.
lice to show their unreasonableness
and improbability.
After reading all that Is said in this
communication. 1 see no reason to
modify the opinion expressed In mv
report, viz: "That the mixture com
posed of SB and in |a capab . of mak
ing a strong ami durable paving and
In these respects is moreover superior
to the other mixtures." Very respect
fully, SAMUEL P. SADTLER.

AFTER MANY MOONS
0. B. Northrop Is Captured For Mak
ing Away With a Horse
After looking for O. B. Northrop fcr
nearly a year. Detective Auble arrested
iiim last night on Broadway and place !
Mm In the city Jail on a felony charge of
embezzlement. The p-isoner is a man of
:.n years or more, and Is supposed to be
wanted on other charges. He admits his
guilt of the charge on which he was ar
rested.
Early last year Northrop was given em
ployment by John H. F. Peck, the safe
dealer on North Main street. His duties, in
addition to those of a general solicitor,
were to sell a number of small articles
which Mr. Peck k »pt in stock. He did
fairly we'd and was making a good living.
On May 13 he borrowed a horse and buggy
of Mr. Peck, saying that he had an order
in the country which necessitated his driv
ing to the place of his prospective custom
er. Anticipating a large sale. Mr. Peck
did not hesitate to let him have his horse
and vehicle. From that day to this Mr.
Peck has never see-n his property. After
waiting two days he swore out a warrant
for Northrop's arrest on a felony charge
of entbealement. The ease was placed ,n
the hands of Detective Hawley. who for
nine months has carried the warrant in
his pocket. Frequently he has heard of
the whereabouts of the man. but when he
would investigate the reports that came
to him he would be unable to locate him.
Northrop bad his mail addressed to su
burban postoffices and would frequently
change his address. Last night the de
tective met him on the street and knowing
his description accosted him. The ac-j
cused admitted his Identity and was at
once taken Into custody. He admitted to
the officer that he had sold the horse of
Mr. Peek, saying he had disposed of it to I
a Mr. Jtansen at Fullerton for $2." in board
and $3 in money. He had made the sale,
under the name of E. Hemmlson and told!
where the horse could be found.
FALSE PRETENSES CHARGED
Dave Schroeder Arrested on Complaint
of James Langdon
David Bchroeder was arrested yesterday
by Patrolman Broadhead on a warrant
charging him with obtaining money by
falae pretenses. The warrant was issued
on complaint of James Langdon of ITei
Temple street. The complaint recites that
Schroeder called on Langdon ami stated
that J. D, Chapman, who resides in the
San Gabriel valley, owed him ill"*'. This
amount, according to Sehroeder's alleged
statement. Chapman was willing to pay
on demand, and Langdon was asked to ad
vance $2." on the promise that it would be
returned in a day or two. Schroeder need
ing that amount to go to Chapman and
secure the 14030. Langdon advanced the
125, ami afterwards, he claims, he learned
that the story of Chapman's indebtedness
to Schroeder was wholly false. He there
upon swore to a complaint against the bor
rower on a felony charge. The case will
be tried in Justice Morrison's court on
Tuesday.
BATTERED A CHINAMAN
Arthur Hope Will Pay For His Fun
Tomorrow
Arthur Hope, a young plumber, was con
victed of battery In Justice Morrison's
court yesterday afternoon, and will be
sentenced tomorrow morning. He was
driving a wagon east on First street, be
tween Spring and Broadway, yesterday af
ti moon, when an old chinaman, carrying
a large basket on a long pole, tried to pass
his horse. He>pe yelled at him and the
Chinaman suddenly turned In such a man
ner that the pole struck the horse on the
nose.
Hope started at him with his whip, hut
accidentally dropped it. He then struck
the Mongolian in the eye with his fist,
knocking him down and changing the color
of his optic. He was immediately arrested
and ln court tried to excuse the assault
by pleading self-defense, claiming that he
thought the Chinaman was about to
strike him. The evidence was against him,
however, and he was found guilty.
Trimming a Plate
Edward Madden, a stereotype!' employed
on the Times, was brought to the receiving
hospital last night suffering from a severe
WOqnd in the left hand. He was working
with a chisel on a stereotype plate- when
the too! slipped and the po'nt routed the
Hcsh off tlie first finger of his hand cleir
to the bone. The- wound was dressed by
■in attendant at the hospital, after which
Madden returned to work.
Sentence Again Deferred
There is a disposition to let the rase
against Mrs. Harriet Wilson and her
laughter. Mrs. day Lombard, who were
found guilty of selling liquor in their rooms
without any license, go by default. The
women have been before the courts several
times and each time the passing of sen
tence was deferred. The matter was again
postponed yesterday until next week

A HERMIT
He Lived and Died in the Heart of
Boston
Boston. Mass.—H. Woods Walker, 90
years old, and worth $75,000, was found dead
of starvation in a room at hi Hanover street
the other day. He had been dead several
days.
I'pon examination of the room the police
- found a diamond ring, ~ diamond pin,
| $67.,"i0 in money, and several musty papers,
j mostly valuables, mortgages, papers,
notes, deeds of estates, little expense books,
blank books, a Bible nnd some pictures,
perhaps over aO years old. Most of them
were stowed away in a cigarette case, six
inches square, and the whole bundle re
sembled a lunch parcel. These were all his
visible effects.
Woods was a hermit and a miser. He
lived ln the heart of this city, on one of
Boston's busiest streets, but no one knew
him nor anything of him.
He held communication with no man,
greeted none with the name of "friend."
It was seldom that anybody went to his
office for business, and nobody ever went
to his home, such as it was, for pleasure.
He ate, drank, slept and worked alone,
j on the third floor, in a dingy, unkempt and
ill-smelling room, containing a chair, a
table and a worn-out couch. The hoor was
scattered with newspapers, the only con
tact he maintained with the outside world.
He seldom went out. When be did, it
was for a few minutes, and If any of his
neighbors met him shuffling down the
stairs, he was passed ln grim silence and
I wonder.
He was noted ln the building for one
act of kindness. He came down every
morning to give a bright young boy, who
works on the llrst lloor, a morning paper.
But ull other friendly advances were re
pelled.
Among his papers were found evidences
that he was once a studious, widely trav
eled and ambitious man.
Two daugerreotypes were found, one of
a good-looking young man—himself evl-
dontly—and of a handsome woman of 20—
his wife, perhaps. Among his effects was
a coffin-plate, Inscribed, "Lucy W. Walker.
Died Feb. 25,1866; aged 66 years 5 months."
The old man's life of seclusion began ap
parently in IS7C. Among his papers were
title deeds to city lots and lands In other
localities.- mortgage notes for large sums,
and shares In a company whose capital Is
*3,UU0,000. In his latter life he was a money
lender.
PERSONAL
C, Foster of I,os Angeles was a guest at
the Metropolitan, New York, last week.
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Wartelle are receiv
ing congratulations upon the advent of a
little daughter.
Among the Angelenos registering; at San
Francisco hotels Friday were T. C. Drake,
Mrs. H. P. Duft'in and A. Y. Steams.
Pride Before a Fall
B. Gavin was making an exhlbtlon of his
ability as an equestrian on Figueroa street,
near Washington, last night. He was run
ning his hone and Jumping from the
stirrups to the saddle, and ln doing so
fell off the horse. He fell upon his head
and cut a gash four Inches long in his
scalp. He was removed to his home at
424 West Thirtieth street, where ho re
ceived medical attention.
Observations of Mr. Justice Brewer
Mr. Justice Brever tells some curious
coincidents concerning the members of the
I'nited States supreme court. The judges
are seated on the bench on either side of
the chief Justice, In the order of the date
of their appointments, the senior at the
light, the second at the left, and so on. Be
fore the retirement of Justice Field, on the
right of the chief Justice were seated the
three colors, Justices Gray, Brown and
White. None of the associates who sat on
the right of the chief Justlcerhad children.
Every associate who sat upon the left had
a large family, and all but Judge Peckham
had grandchildren.—Washington Letter.
All prices of wall paper greatly reduced.
