WANT THE SYSTEM
POLICE COMMISSIONERS TO ASK
COUNCIL FOB SIGNAL BOXES
DEPARTMENT EXPENDITURES
Reductions Asked of the Board of
Equalization—Bryson Block As
sessment—City Hall Notes
Yesterday's meeting of the police com
mission was short and to the point, no
time being wasted in preliminaries, and
what business there was to do was dis
posed of in short order. All the members
were present except Commissioner Wy
man.
A communication was presented by Chief
Glass, in which he makes a plea for the
establishment of a police signal sys
tem, the allowance for which was
cut from the department estimate
by the city auditor. It is requested
that a committee be appointed for the pur
pose of interviewing the council to ascer
tain whether it is not possible to secure an
appropriation to put ln the system, as It
Is actually necessary "for the advancement
of the department to a basis equal to that
of other cities of Its size throughout th*
United States."
A tabulated statement Is appended, by
which it is shown that, while the total ex
penditure for the department for the pas,
year has been $113,254, the sum of $50,509.85
is credited with having been saved to the
taxpayers by the work of the chain gang,
recovery of stolen property by detective*,,
fines and penalties Imposed ln the police
courts, amount saved by having cooking
done in the jail and Interpreting by bailiff,
ihus making the total cash outlay for the
force $62,744.12. In conclusion he says:
"It is needless for me to explain the many
benefits which this department would de
rive from a system of this kind, as you arc
all familiar with the same. It is Just as
essential in a city with the population wt
have as Is a Are alarm system, and will
not only greatly Improve the department,
but will also place us on a basis with other
cities of this size throughout the universe."
Upon motion of Commissioner Gibbon
the chair appointed a committee of three,
consisting of Messrs. Gibbon, McLaln and
Preuss, to go before the council and urge
the necessity of an appropriation for the
signal system, and at the same tin* ask
that a sum be set aside to provide for the
furnishing of a uniform revolver for the
force.
Patrolman Joe Miller was to have been
heard on his reasons for not arresting th?
bartender and a couple of men whom he
found fighting in the Dewey saloon, Broad
way and Sixth street, one Sunday morn
ing about 3 o'clock several weeks ago.
Miller was not on hand, and, It appearing
that, owing to the absence, on matrimonial
matters, of Clerk Todd, he had not beer
officially notified, the matter went over a
week for hearing. Lee Morris, proprietor
of the Dewey, who appeared to save hi.'
license if possible, was not heard.
Demands of Officers G. H. Williams. John
Stephenson and A. B. Bates for $41.66 each
on the treasury, half-pay while on the sick
list, were approved.
Four applications for appointment as spe
cial policemen . were considered. Three
were appointed and one filed. Isaac S.
Smith, manager of the free labor bureau,
was given a star. Captain A. D. Wood,
who resides In the outskirts of the city and
who has been the victim of chicken-coop
depredators, asked and was given power tc
make arrests. The application of Matt
Rosenthal was filed. In spite of the facl
that the application of Harry J. Hirst wa*
signed by only one person, instead of five,
as the rules of the commission require, he
was ordered given a star. The one Indorser
of Hirst's application was Herman Sliver,
president of the council. Hirst Is employed
on the Los Angeles Electric railway as
foreman of the shops at the power house,
where small boys and other depredators
need a minion of the law to suppress them.
THEY WANT REDUCTIONS
Work of the Board of Equalization
Yesterday
During yesterday's session of the board
of equalization but three matters of more
than ordinary importance came up for con
sideration. "Uncle" John Bryson present
ed a demand for the reduction of assess
ment on the Bryson block, corner of Spring
and Second streets, from J125.000 to 1106,000.
Mr. Bryson thinks the assessors' figures
altogether too high, as It Is, he claims,
considerably above the valuation placed on
the other three corners at the same inter
section, namely: The Burdick, Wilcox and
Hollenbeck corners. The matter was tak
en under advisement.
An Item of $21,000 assessed to the East
Side Bank on bonds was canceled, as It was
shown that the bonds were secured by
trust deed and are not legally assessable.
Mrs. L. J. H. Hastings, wife of the noto
rious medical electrician, formerly Mrs.
Hammond, applied for a reduction of J25,
--000 on her Spring street block, because of
a mortgage for that amount held by the re
gents of the University of California. De
cision on the matter awaits an opinion from
City Attorney Dunn.
To Clear the River Bed
The bridge committee Is preparing to
make a tour of Ihe river bed In order to ap
praise the probable cost of removing the
growth of willows and brush that has ap
peared there since the last high water ot
several years ago. This growth, ln case of
another flood, would cause an engorgement
and collection of drift perilous lo the city's
bridges, especially the shaky Ninth street
bridge. It Is the council's purpose, If It
can afford ihe outlay, to clean out the river
bed as a precautionary measure.
Filed Their Bond
J. D. Newman & Co., to whom was
awarded the contract for supplying 4,000
street signs, yesterday filed their bond for
a faithful performance of the contract.
Work will now immediately go forward.
Want Street Improvements
Property-owners on Grand avenue, be
tween First and Court streets, have peti
tioned the council to order the street
graded, graveled, curbed and guttered un
der the bond act.
WAS NOT STARVING
Mrs. Harrahan Merely Locked Her
Neighbor* Out
The police authorities Investigated an
alleged case of starvation and desertion
yesterday, but discovered that the condi
tion of the supposed sufferer was caused
by herself, Instead of by the neglect of
others. Chief Glass was notified that Mrs.
Mary Harrahan, an old woman living at J
LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, fB9B
1026 Alhambra street, was dying of star
vation. He ordered Officer Richardson to
look Into the case, and with the aid of Dr.
Hagan the officer did so. It was found that
Mrs. Harrahan has been living with her
son-in-law and daughter, named Lleger,
but the latter left the city last Sunday to
visit some friends In Riverside.
Mrs. ilarrahan was left at home, a neigh
bor agreeing to take care of her. When
the neighbor went to the house she found
the door locked and to her knocks for ad
mittance the Inmate continued deaf. It
was feared that Mrs. Harrahan had been
attacked with a fainting spell. The officer
effected an entrance, however, and dis
covered that Mrs. Harrahan was far from
starving or, indeed, from dying of thirst.
The neighbor agreed to care for the woman
until her relations returned, so Mrs. Har
rahan was not sent to the receiving hos
pital. She did not offer any explanation
regarding her reasons for locking herself
ln the house.
HABEAS CORPUS
Knocks Out an Unauthorized Action
by a Country Justice
Judge Shaw yesterday ordered the re
lease of David Nicholson on a writ of
habeas corpus, the proceeding being insti
tuted by the prisoner's son, Jack Nichol
son.
Nicholson was arrested -in Los Nietos
township several days ago on a complaint
sworn out by Valentine O'Connell, who al
leged that tho offender had threatened to
"fix him." The matter came before Jus
tice Burke of Rivera, who, contrary to the
provisions of the code, which require that
suchl a. complaint ibe parwed on by the
court, lmpnneled a jury and gave the man
a hearing. The Jury returned a verdict
of guilty, and Nicholson was bound over
to the superior court In the sum of $100.
The court did not study long to see the In
justice of the proceeding, and ordered the
man released.
Two Lost Boys Found
Howard Jackson of 213 East Twenty
third street and Claude Bodam of 1447 Court
street, wandered away from their respec
tive homes yesterday afternoon, and were
absent for a number of hours. The police
were notified, but were not able to secure
any trace of either of the youngsters until
» o'clock Hast night, when Jackson was
found at the corner of Main and Twenty
third street, while Bodam was located In
the boat house at Westlake park. Both
were 5 years of age. A deaf mute boy was
found yesterday by the police and was re
leased during the afternoon to friends who
called for him.
Again in Jail
Prosperity does not appear to agree with
C. S. Leggett, for he no sooner gets out ot
jail than he is arrested for a second of
fense. He was convicted of petty larceny
before Justice Owens some days ago, and
fined a nominal amount, it being shown
that he had stolen a small pocketknlfe from
a man named Upton. Monday night Leg
gett thought he would celebrate his release
—as some person had paid his fine—so he
got drunk. He was before Justice Owens
yesterday to answer to this offense, and
was fined $10 or ten days.

Manhattan club last Friday evening to get

ANOTHER TRAIN WRECK
THE SANTA FE ROAD'S CON
TINUED BAD LUCK
NAMES OF INJURED WITHHELD
General Manager Nevin Refuses to
Furnish a List of the Wounded
One Known to Be Killed
Of late accidents are aa common on the
Santa Fe as they used to he when the larger
portion of that route was known as the At
lantic and Pacific, and the last resort of a
railroad man who couldn't get employment
elsewhere was to get a Job on that line,
Last week two freight trains were wrecked
ln close sequence, and cars and goods were
destroyed, and yesterday morning the west
bound passenger train, which was due here
this morning was thrown In the ditch about
twenty miles east of Wlnslow. Owing to
the system of regarding the public from a
Vandterblltlan point of view, introduced by
Qenoral Manager Nevin of Mils road, the
employes of the company are terrorized
Into not being willing to give out any In
formation about such matters.
Though Mr. Nervln had' a list of the thirty
or more passengers who were reported as
being injured he refused to give It to the
papers. At first this was done on the pre
tense that the list was incorect and an
other one would be sent in by the doctors
later, which would be given out, but when
It was asked If this could be counted upon,
regardlesss of the anxiety of friends of
those on the cars, the answer was sent out
from his private office that there was no
11st to be given out; the company did not
care to publish it.
It was learned), however, that about thir
ty of the passengers had been reported as
Injured. In the absence of official definite
information the extent of their hurts can
only be guessed at. One youth was killed.
His name was Roy Gooding and he was the
son of the company's agent at Kingman.
C. Silvey, special agent of the Santa Fe,
had a shoulder dislocated. The accident oc
curred on a straight piece of track that,
had Just been thoroughly—it was sup
posed—ballasted and put In order. The
engine, baggage and mail car kept the
track, but It is supposed that a rail broke
after they had passed and the rest of the
train was thrown down a ten-foot embank
ment. Most of the passengers were up,
as they were only twenty miles from the
breakfast station. At Mr. Nevln's office it
was stated yesterday afternoon that they
did not know whether the train liad left
Wlnslow or not or when it would arrive
here.
Notes and Personals
General Manager Nevin of the Santa Fe
was in San Diego last week and told a re
porter there that he was sure the steam

know the names of the steamers, It was
true, nor did he believe the report from
New York that agents of the line had an
nounced that It was not an assured fact;
but he was confident that everything was
all right, and he was going to spend a lot
of money on that basis.
