V s
IPASADENA, March 17.—Office of The
Herald, 58 East Colorado street.) The Pas
ldena Medical association met this even
ing in the office of Drs. Brlggs and Janes.
/There was not a large attendance on ac
count of the rain. Resolutions of respect
.were adopted on account of the death of Dr.
tPraeger ln Los Angeles. Dr. Rowland read
tn interesting paper on his personal ex
periences as health officer. He said there
{'have been seventeen cases of typhoid fever
jreported, with two deaths. All these cases
were traced to the milk taken from one
) dairyman. No cases have been traced to
bad sewerage. Scarlet fever has been re
ported by forty families, in the majority of
j which there was only one case. There have
) been five deaths, und three of these were
Iln one family. The type of fever has beon
a mild one. The live cases at present were
well quarantined. There have been but few
t cases of diphtheria, with one death. In the
] discussion which followed the paper the
) sentiment expressed seemed to be in favor
!" of tho existence of an ordinance giving
the health officer greater power in the way
of placarding houses und quarantining con
tagious diseases.

S. P. IMPROVEMENTS
Huntington and Hood's Visit Causes
Speculation
RIVERSIDE, March 17.— H. E. Hunting
ton and Engineer Hood of the Southern
Pacific company were here today. They
came here for the purpose of loking over
the extensive improvements the company
ls prosecuting at the present time. They
arrived in a special car and spent several
hours in the city. The work of relaying
the old motor line, which is now the prop
erty of tho company, is about completed,
and the old light rails have been replaced
by new 70-pound steel rails all the way
trom Colton to this city. In consideration
of the valuable franchise granted the com
pany along Market street ln the heart of
the city, the company agreed to grade and
(Travel that street from First to Eighth
etreet, and this work ls now about complete
—ln fact, it ls the intention to finish the
Job next week. As yet the company has
not started work on the proposed new de
pot further than to lay the concrete foun
dation. It ls stated that the cause of the
delay ls the inability of the company to get
the supply of brick necessary. This brick
ls being made in Los Angeles and the sup
ply ls expected in a few days now. Mr.
Huntington's visit at this time Is thought
by some to have some connection with the
well, known Intention of his company to
Beck further franchise privileges on Mar
ket street to complete the belt line around
the city.
THEY'VE GOT IT
Red Scale in Vermont, an Unknown
Visitant *
SAN BERNABDINO, March 17.—Horti
cultural Commissioner Pease ls ln receipt
of a pamphlet issued by the Vermont ag
ricultural experiment station, under date
of October, 1897, in which the state ento
mologist. G. H. Perkins, devotes over a
page to the Introduction of a new insect,
the San Jose scale, illustrated by a half
page cut of a pear, the fruit and limb
badly Infested with the scale. The pro
fessor says ln this connection: "This much
dreaded Insect must for the first time be
Included in the list of injurious species
found In Vermont. Fortunately It has
thus far no foothold ln the state. It ls
not certain that a species that is so dis
tinctly southern can live In our climate,
but it ls not safe to assume this, but
rather to act very promptly If It is intro
duced. Although not nt present fairly In
troduced, It ls not too soon to warn those
obtaining trees or plants from outside tho
state to be on their guard, lest they in
troduce it. It ls a somewhat general feed
er, and may live on a variety of plants.
In the case mentioned It was brought into
the state on an Ivy and an Otahelte or
ange. It should be fully understood that
the pest can only reach Vermont as It Is
brought from without on living plants,
and If all plants and trees Imported Into
the state ure carefully examined and, if
Infected, burned, we shall have no troutTle.
But ls to be feared that such Inspection
will not be given, and that somebody will
be careless and admit the enemy. In any
case It will be well If any scales of a cir
cular form are found that they be sent at
once to the station for examination."
On receipt of the pamphlet, "Bulletin
No. 60," Commissioner Pease recognized at
once that Instead of the San Jose scale
the Vermont people were struggling with
the "red scale," and wrote to the head
officer of the station, Joseph L. Hills,.dl-
rector and chemist, correcting their pub
lished bulletin, and under date of March
10th, received the following note of thanks:
"Plense accept our thanks for your favor
of the 4th. We have been convinced that
Prof. Perkins was in error In the matter of
the San Jose scale, and you may be cer
tain we are very glad to have been mis
taken rather than to have been right in
this particular matter."
PROMINENT EDUCATOR
Death of Prof. H. C. Brooke, Formerly
of San Bernardino
SAN BERNARDINO, March 17.—A tele
gram has Just been received from Yuma,
announcing the death of Prof. H. C.
Brooke, for twenty-five years a promi
nent educator of this city. The deceased
was born ln Pennsylvania ln 1834, obtained
his education ln the Philadelphia schools,
und came to California In 1859 and com
menced his life work by teaching school
In Humboldt county. He was the first to
receive a teacher's certificate under the
Swett law, then Just passed by the legisla
ture. In 1867 he came to San Bernardino,
and for a quarter of a century devoted
his time to education ln this city and
county. In 1869 he was elected superin
tendent of schools and served for one term,
when he entered the ranks of teachers
again, and was re-elected superintendent
In 1882 and served for several terms, during
which time he added materially to the
prosperity of the schools by his method
of raising money for school buildings.
This was done by the Issue of school bonds
In the respective districts where needed.
To accomplish this Superintendent Brooke
drew up v form of bond which he sub
mitted to the best legnl authority, and
to this day this bond has stood the test
of the courts? and has been adopted in
most of the states at the east, as well as
on thiß coast, and through It the school
bonds of the state have come to be consid
ered the best gilt-edge bonds for Invest
ment. Over sixty Issueß have been made
ln this county alone, to the great benefit
of the cause of education. His fame as
a most devoted and successful worker In
the cause of education not only extended
the length of the Pacific coast, but he was
known throughout the educational circles
of the east. After serving this county and
city so many years. Prof. H. C. Brooke
closed his faithful work here and went
lo Yuma, Ariz., where he continued his
teaching until, at the nge of 64, he lays
down the burdens of life and ceases from
his labors, but the remembrance of his
good work for the cause of education will
be cherished by the multitude of scholars
who have been under his instruction.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, JB9B
THE CHARGES QUASHED
DETECTIVE GOODMAN HAS RE
TURNED PUPKE'S WATCH
GILLOn'S PECULIAR STORY
Charges Against the Police Depart
ment of Illegal Arrest and •
Detention
A lively meeting of the police commission
had been anticipated for yesterday morn
ing, as the charges made by Henry
Pupko against Detective Goodman of un
lawfully sequestrating a watch which had
been by the court adjudged his property,
wero to have been fully aired and both
sides had been notified to appear and ex
plain the matter. The whole thing was
squelched ln Us inclplency, and the detec
tive protected by the action of the chief
and the backdown of Pupke who had, since
he made his "roar," been given back his
property, and the whole thing squared, so
that he filed a written statement saying
that as he had recovered his watch he did
not desire to further prosecute.
At the last meeting the chief had been
ordered to see that the watch was re
turned to Us ownen and' the 1 detective
produced to explain his actions, but when
he appeared he said that Pupko had told
him that he was willing to drop the matter.
He had paid out of his own pocket the
$3.50 demanded by the pawnbroker from
whose shop the watch was taken, because
he did not wish to see that individual lose
by the transaction.
From appearances the whole affair arose
out of an attempt by Goodman to make
Pupke pay $3.50 to the pawnbroker, money
advanced, before he would give up a
stolen watch which had been Identified by
the owner. The police are free to admit
that they like to stand "right" with the
pawnbrokers, as those worthies can often
materially assist or Interfere with them
In the prosecution of their duties and the
capture of criminals.
Another alleged outrage of the rights of
a citizen by the police was brought to the
attention of the commission through the
following communication, filed by James
Gillott, a resident of Pico Heights:
"LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 26,1895.
"To the Honorable Board of Police Com
missioners—Gentlemen: Your petitioner
respectfully represents that on the 14th day
of February he obtained from one Thomas
Brown permission to take a few small
pieces of lumber from a building ln the
course of construction on Westlake ave
nue, near Eighth street; that he was de
tained In the city until about 9 o'clock p
m., and arrived at said building between
9 and 10 o'clock at night for the purpose
of securing said lumber, and while In the
act of taking same he was arrested by
Officer Foster; that he explained to the
arresting officer that he had a sub-con
tract on the building and had permis
sion to take such lumber. He further
asked said officer to accompany him to his
own home to explain his absence, as he Is
a married man, living with his wife and
two small children, and also to the resi
dence of Brown, and offered to drive the
officer to both places, but this request was
refused, and he was turned over to an
other officer, who he believes was sent
out from the police station to conduct him
there.
"That upon his arrival at the police sta
tion ho requested that Brown be sent for,
but his request was refused and he was
detained over night. That on the morning
of the 15th he requested that a note be
sent to his partner, George Slyler, and
wrote such a note and gave It to one ef
the city jailors, who Informed your peti
tioner that he came on duty at 7 o'clock a.
m., requesting that said note be sent lo
Slyter, but It was not delivered. During
the same morning be was asked by the
jailer, whose name ls unknown to him, If
he wanted to employ a lawyer, and ln reply
said that he did, and that he wanted Mr.
Myers. That he asked permission to tele
phone to said Myers, but was told by the
jailer that he could not; that Hugh J.
Crawford, a lawyer, was there, and that
he could employ him or do without. That
he then consented to see Crawford, who
demanded of him the sum of $25 to defend
him, and upon Crawford's writing out the
order hereto attached, marked 'exhibit
A,' he signed the same, and that thereby
Crawford secured from the clerk of the
police court the sum of $10, the same be
ing deducted from his money. That after
ward he was required by said Crawford
to sign Ihe 'I. O. U. for $15, hereto at
tached and marked 'exhibit B.
"That later on ln the morning Brown
heard of his arrest and at once proceeded
to the police station and Informed the
officers there that your petitioner had re
ceived permission to take the lumber, and
he was thereupon discharged. That he
thereafter demanded of Crawford the re
turn of the sum of $10 so obtained from him
In the manner above set forth, which he
refused and still refuses to do. That he
was also required to pay a livery bill for
the care of his horse and wagon over night.
That at the time of his arrest he had upon
his person the sum of $23 or $24 or there
abouts, and the lumber taken was of the
value of 25 cents or thereabouts.
"That your petitioner ls a resident,
householder and taxpayer, and takes this
method of protesting against the indignity,
humiliation and disgrace thus thrust upon
him and the extortion and expense im
posed upon him by the officious, unwar
ranted and unlawful acts of said above
named city officials. Allot which is respect
fully submitted.
(Signed) "JAMES GILLOTT,
"Residing on B Street, Pico Heights."
When the clerk had finished the reading
of the charges Mayor Snyder burst forth
indignantly: "This case ls simply awful!
The idea of an innocent man being treated
in this manner. Why, if this communica
tion ls true no man is safe ln this city."
Chief Glass Interrupted to say that there
were always two sides to a question and
that while this kind of complaint was
common, it was usually found that there
was little basis of fact in them.
Special Officer Foster, who made the ar
rest, stated that the communication was
false; that he had asked Glllott to tele
phone to Brown. He offered the use of his
instrument, but Glllott showed no desire
to telephone; that ho had been arrested
after dark while tiptoeing into the build
ing and had said that rather than let
any one know of his predicament he would
spend the night in Jail.
A spirited discussion ensued among the
commissioners and the chief, but, although
much was said, nothing came of it ex
cept the motion of Mr. Gibbon that Glllott
be summoned to appear before the board
next Tuesday and that all concerned ap
pear at the same time, which was carried
unanimously. In the meantime Gillott will
be required to swear to his charge.
There seemed to be a rush for special
officers' stars. The seven sanitary inspect
ors of the health department were made
special policemen to conform to the recent
.ruling of the city attorney that all officers
must be appointed by the board to be
clothed with authority. Deputy Dogcatch
ers Will Vacher and Ed Tlerney aJso
wanted to be officers If they could, but
they couldn't, and although they can ar
rest stray dogs, that ls as far as their
power goes. Dogcatcher Walters ls an of
ficer and can curb the angry citizen whose
wrath ls excited over the capture of his
"purp," but the deputies will have to do
without a star for awhile.
There was a strong protest against the
granting of a saloon license to J. E. Wal
deck at 131 South Broadway. A. C. Hough
declared that this street should be kept
free from the liquor traffic; that It would
be an Injury to property interests on Broad
way.
Mr. Gibbon suggested that a sideboard ln
a wholesale liquor house was far less
troublesome to the authorities than a reg
ular retail saloon. There was but one more
license to grant, and as a matter of public
policy he would rather favor a license Is
sued for a sideboard on Broadway than
for a regular saloon ln a saloon part of the
city. .
The petitioner had a majority of the
frontage and the application was granted.
The following applications for transfers
ot saloon licenses were referred to the
chief: From John Ghlo, for a transfer
from J. B. Lavagnlno at 1358 San Fernando
street to himself; also from Edward Ham
and George T. Wooley for a transfer from
Jesse Avis at 106 Court street to themselves.
John Castera was granted a transfer
from N. S. Baker at 112 East First street to
himself.
The full number of 200 saloon licenses is
now completed and until some of those now
ln business drop out there will be no use in
applying for a license—unless the commis
sioners change their minds about the num
ber and decide to make it 250 or 300.
STREET IMPROVEMENT
Bauchet Street Sewer—Sidewalks and
the Edison Conduit System
The board of public works made anothsr
trip of Inspection yesterday, and ln com
pany with the city engineer and street
superintendent made a final examination of
the Bauchet street sewer. Several sections
of the sewer pipe had been laid bare in or
der that leaky and poor joints, if any,
might be detected. None were found and
it will undoubtedly be the unanimous rec-
ommendlatlon that the sewer be accepted.
The matter has been argued pro and con
In the council (or weeks, but will now be
Anally settled*
Complaint was made by several Main
street property holders of the manner in
which the sidewalks on that street are be
ing widened. The curb is being set out
three feet and naturally, as the street rises
toward the center, is slightly higher than
at present. As the sidewalk slanted evenly
down to the old curb line and the new
walk slants in the other direction, back
from the curb, there Is a depression formed
about which a big roar ls being raised.
City Engineer Dockweiler showed that It
was Impossible to lower the curbs and the
only remedy seems to be to relay the en
tire walk on the new grade.
From the corner of Seventh and Main
streets the Edison Electric company have
begun to lay their conduit north toward
the center of the city. The company is
using the most modern appliances and its
wires are laid in steel sheathed and insulat
ed cables imbedded ln cement. The work
will be pushed as rapidly as possible to
completion. This leaves only one big elec
tric company which has as yet made no
definitely known move toward complying
with the anti-pole and overhead wire or
dinance, the Eos Angeles Lighting com
pany.
More Sign Petitions
A petition signed by over eighty of the
most promirtent business firms was yes
terday tiled with the city clerk for pre
sentation to the council, asking that the
existing street sign ordinance be so amend
ed as "to permit the maintenance of such
signs as are now permanently attached to
buildings and which are not a menace to
the public."
From Gas to Oil
Bailey & Schmltz Bros, have petitioned
the council for permission to change a gas
engine which they are now operating at
1053 North Alameda street to the use of
distillate and that they be allowed to place
a fifty gallon Iron tank beneath the gutter
In front of their building twenty feet away.
Pumping Cables
The Brooklns Oil company has petitioned
the council for permission to maintain and
operate two pumping cables across Yaio
street.
Odd Fellows' Banquet
SAN BERNARDINO, March 17. — The
members of the Odd Fellows' fraternity
have for many yearß owned the quarters
where their lodge room Is located, but
tbe lower floor has been used for mercan
tile purposes. That is now changed, and
the entire building will be devoted to the
order and to the Knights of Pythias, who
also use the lodge room devoted to the
three links. The lower floor has been
cleared out and will be fitted ln elegant
style with a front parlor, back of which
is to be a large banquet room that can also
be used for a drill room for the Canton,
I. O. O. F., and a drill room for the uni
form rank of the K. of P. that is being or
ganized as an adjunct to Valley lodge 27,
K. of P. The rear room to this will be
fitted up as a kitchen with all the modern
improvements, and the arrangements for
fun on the lower floor will be complete.
It ls also arranged so that the banquet
room can be used as a lodge room, if oc
casion should require It when the room
upstairs Is occupied. The opening of this
portion of the building will occur on
Wednesday evening, March 30th, and for
it the ladles of the Rebekahs, who are fore
most ln this change, will prepare an elabo
rate program and banquet, as a re-dedi
cation of the whole establishment, and
will Invite their brothers and sisters from
Redlands, Riverside, Colton and other
points, making it the most extensive lodge
affair held for many years.
Riverside Jottings
RIVERSIDE, March 17.—Constable Sln
gletary brought to the county jail today a
17-year-old boy named Roy Aldrlch, who
was arrested in Los Angeles a couple of
days ago on request of the officers here.
Aldrlch was wanted to answer to a charge
of robbing his employers. Aldrich was
wild, and when he started out to see the
world a few weeks ago he stole a lot of
Jewelry and other articles. There ls a clear
case against him.
The report which gained circulation a few
days ago that the Riverside Trust com
pany would object to the granting of a
franchise for an electric road along Vic
toria avenue, which thoroughfare was
originally given the city by the company,
is denied by the officers of the company.
The company reserved the rights for rail
road lines on the street, but ls willing to
let any responsible company put down the
line, providing always that the road is an
up-to-date one.

TWO YOUNG RUFFIANS
Arrested on Suspicion of Trying to
Wreck a Train
SANTA ANA, March 17.—Two boys, one
named John English, the other unknown,
were arrested last night by Sheriff Nichols,
charged with an attempt to wreck the
Newport train. Two large brake blocks
were found on the track yesterday near
Smeltzer's station in time to stop the train
before any damage was done. The boys
claim that the blocks were dropped from
their wagon accidentally and fell on the
rails. Justice Huntington put the boys
under $200 bonds each, pending their pre
liminary trial, which will be held Satur
day.
The Cold Wave
SAN BERNARDINO, March 17.—While
It ls to be hoped there was no damage
from the frost the past few days, reports
come tn from different directions stating
that the apricot crop in many sections
is ruined, the young fruit turning black
throughout whole orchurds. This morn
ing was tho third In tho past six days
when the temperature went below the
freezing point, ln exposed sections, al
though It ls hoped the damage Is not gen
eral throughout the valley. Later returns
will tell that.
Rain commenced to fall at 2 p. m. today,
followed In a few minutes by snow and
hail, driving before a strong wind from
the west, and a chill to the atmosphere
very much like a Klondike breeze.
As a result of the universal use of the
bicycle, the owners of the D-strrct car line
have been compelled to withdraw all cars
on that line except to make two trips a
day, just to hold the franchise until It
can be sold out to become eleetrlcized,
when it will prosper, ln a case of horses
against bicycles the former go to the
wall, but the trolley will hold Its own.

Overcharged Mileage
RIVERSIDE, March 17.—Supervisor H.
C. Thompson of this county will have to
refund to the county $170, which he has
overdrawn as mileage. The recent grand
Jury instructed the district attorney to sue
the supervisor, and this was done, the
court giving judgment for the county In
the sum named. The testimony showed
that Thompson charged for forty-nine
miles when he could have reached the
county seat in forty miles. The case Was
strenuously fought by Thompson.
A Loose Car
SANTA ANA, March 17.—Messrs. Ell It.
Trago, the driver of the Wells-Fargo wag
on, and Charles B. Turner, the agent on
the Southern Pacific train, narrowly
escaped serious Injury at the Southern Pa
cific depot last night by being run over by
a loose car. They had started to drive
across the track and had got partly over
when a loose passenger coach came down
the track and struck the wagon, breaking
It to pieces. The men were unhurt except
a few bruises, having saved themselves by
jumping. The horse was dragged for a
considerable distance but fortunately was
uninjured.
