UGLY-FACED MAY
She Resented Supposed Sarcasm at Her
Expense
May Fox, a vile creature of the Alameda
street cribs of sin and misery, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Officer Stewart on
charges of disturbing the peace. When
searched she was found to have an ugly
looking dirk concealed about her clothes, so
a second charge of carrying concealed
weapons was made against her.
In company with a friend, Stewart was
walking down the pavement in front of the
cribs and, having passed a good-looking fe
male, the friend remarked that she should
not be ln such a place. Stewart answered
Just as they were passing the window of
May Fox that she was too pretty a woman
to be down there. May is anything but a
beauty. In fact, she resembles the Gorgon
more than she does Venus, so she thought
that the colored police officer was waxing
sarcastic at the expense of her homely face.
She forthwith proceeded to "roast" him in
the most approved and valiant crlfc lan
guage. Stewart placed her under arrest.
They Named a Waif
The children of Unity Sunday school last
Sunday morning were given the distinction

honor was conferred on the school ln con
sideration of its paying the last Install
ment on an assumed obligation of Jin per
year for five years, making it a patron
member and entitling) id to place a child ln
a name of Its own choosing.
Three names were submitted, and the one
receiving the largest number of votes was
that of the noted and able pioneer Unitarian
divine of California, Starr King.

SPRINKLED STREETS
LOS ANGELES' OUGHT TO BE THE
BEST IN AMERICA
So Says Director Slauson of the Cham-
of Commerce—The Nicaragua
Report to Be Printed
At the meeting of the board of directors
of the chamber of commerce held, yesterday
Director Slauson, chairman of the speci.il
committee appointed to Investigate street
sprinkling, reported that it was impossible
for the committee to personally innpeci
the condition of all the streets in the city,
but the investigations covered twelve diays,
showing an average of eiighty-s'even teams
at work, and that each team covered thor
oughly two and one-half miles per day,
showing that Los Angelas should be one of
the best sprinkled crtles In America. The
committee also stated that there are 192
miles of streets being sprinkled at the
present time, sho/wing conclusively that
it is utterly impossible for the superintend
ent to know every hour how each mile is
being sprinkled, and a recommendation is
made that every good citizen in the city
report to the superintendent when streets
are being neglected. In thts way his office
could be made very efficient and a perfect
service would be insured.
The following resolutions were offered
by Director Stewart, and upon motion were
adopted:
Whereas, In view of recent events, our
people realize the serious disadvantage un
der which the nation operates in time of
war by reason of the absence of a naviga
ble water course from ocean to ocean
across the isthmus and available for the
use of the navy; and,
Whereas, This chamber has been re
peatedly appealed to for definite and con
cise Information in regnrd to the construc
tion of the Nicaragua canal under the aus
pices of the United States government;
therefore.
Resolved. That 3000 copies of the report
dated June 17, IS9S, made by our special
committee on Nicaragua canal, together
with the letter of Senator Perkins relat
ing thereto, be printed for distribution by
the chamber of commerce.
A request from the national Irrigation
congress was read, requesting the appoint
ment of a delegate to represent the cham
ber at the meeting to be held 1 in Cheyenne
September 1 to 3. The president was in
structed to appoint a representative.
Th*" following telegram from Hugh Craig,
president of the chamber of commerce of
San Francisco, was read'by the secretary:
"In order that President McKinley may
realize That commercial sentiment of
Pacific coast Is in favor of retaining the
Philippines, our chamber will so resolve
tomorrow. Will you also send 1 resolutions
to Washington of approval? Matter is
urgent, admitting of no delay. Kindly an
swer."
A personal canvass of the directors was
made, resulting in fifteen noes and two
ayes. Whereupon President Format! re
plied as follows:
"The Los Angeles chamber of commerce
does not at present favor the retention of
more than a coaling station in the Philip
pines."
The action of the president was unani
mously approved.
The request of the Redi Cross of San
Francisco, through the state board of
trade, for oranpes and lemons for the sol
diers and the hospitals, was presented. A
letter was read from a grower offering a
carload provided the chamber would pay
the expense of picking and packing. The
matter was referred to a special commit
tee, consisting of Directors Slauson, Klokke
and Hooker, with Instructions to confer
with the war board' and the Red Cross and
ascertain if arrangements couldi be made
for defraying the expense of picking and
packing and also for Iree transportation.
Secretary Wiggins stated for Prof. Fo
shay that the executive committee of the
National Educational association will
probably meet in LosiAnlfcles In September
to definitely decide on this city and to make
preliminary arrangements for holding the
annual convention of that body here next
year.
A letter from Abbot Kinney was read, in
which he suggested that the present is a
propitious time to agitate the question of
consolidating the offices of city nnd county
tax collector. The matter was referred to
the committee on law and legislation.
D. P. Greely of the Soldiers' Home called
attention to an old cannon lying In the San
Fernando valley, formerly used by Gen.
Fremont, and suggested that It would
make an Interesting addition to the cham
ber of commerce's collection.
The subject of Ihe fires In the forest res
ervations was taken up and referred to Ihe
committee on lands to investigate to see if
the law protecting these reserves could not
be enforced.
L. E. Doan, manager of the Hotel Lind
say, Was elected to membership.
WENT ONCE TOO OFTEN
James Fogerty Wanted to Get a
Shoe
James Fogerty evidently did not know
the old saw about a pitcher going too ofter.
to the well. He had it brought home to
him yesterday when he was looked in the
police station by Officer Conley on a charge
of petty larceny. Tuesday evening a trio
of men were arrested on East First street
by Officers Conley and Tyler on suspicion
of having stolen some "hoes from a rack
in front of the Chicago shoe Ptore, A
fourth man, believed to have been Fogerty,
escaped.
Yesterday Fogerty went hack tio the
place and while, as he supposed, the clerk
was not observing him, snatched a black
shoe from the rack and* started to run.
Miss Goldberg screamed, and this attract
ed the attention of Conley, who was stand
ing at the corner of First and I.os Angeles
streets. He saw the man running in his
direction and before Fogerty realized that
an officer was near, he had run plump into
the arms of Conley. It appears that of the
shoes stolen Tuesday night one was black,
and Fogerty no doubt desired' to secure
the mate. Hence his return to the rack.
Justice Owens sentenced John Sweeney,
Ed Miller and Joe Harry to thirty, thirty
five and thirty days, respectively, In the
chain gang yesterday for drunkenness.
The men are thought to have stolen the
shoes on Tuesday and while no more seri
ous charge could be made against them, it
was deemed best to get them out of the
way for a time at least. Sweeney was re
cently released from the city jail after
serving a sentence for petty larceny and
Miller nlso served a term in the county jail
for vagrancy from Lancaster.
NUMEROUS BURGLARIES
Colored Boy Arrested Charged With
the Jobs
Henry McKenna. a colored boy aged 14
years, was arrested yesterday by Special
, Officer John Barber on a charge of petty
LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 4, 1898
larceny. It Is thought that MsKenna Is
the leader of a gang of juvenile thieves who
have been operating ln the southeastern
portion of the city for some months past.
Three white boys were caught lateT during
the day and taken to the police station but
they claimed that they had nothing to do
with the robbery, so \vere released on their
own recognizance. Their names are Irwin
Terry, aged 12 years. L,evi Palmer, aged 9,
and Phillips Cobb, aged 8.
Several days ago the house of Mrs. Bar
ber, at 822 Mateo street, was entered and
her purse containing 150 cents, and a hand
some knife stolen. McKenna Is said by the
other hoys to have been guilty of this theft.
The youngsters claim tn their own extenu
ation that they were with him when he
went inside the house but they ran away
after he had disappeared.
The coal and feed store of Clark Bros., on
East Seventh street, near the Santn Fe
tracks, was entered by some persons re
cently nnd 13.80 taken. The McDonald
Grain and Milling company also lost $3.40
in a similar manner. Last Sunday the
bicycle repairing shop of W. W. Rlner. cor
ner of Violet and Lemon streets, was en
tered and a pair of tires stolen. The Mc-
Kenna boy, whose name is said hy the
white boys to be Richard McKinley. is
thought to have had a part in or at least
to know something of these other rob
beries.
SLIGHT TO THE RED CROSS
White Cross Nurses to Go to the
Philippines
Mrs. W. B. Harrlmnn. president of the
state Red Cross, telegraphed yesterday to
the Lo* Angeles division as follows: "Can
not send women nurses. Nothing
from hospital ship. Have telegraphed
Washington for news as to White Crosi
ship." The message was sent in reply to
Inquiries made by the local society, called
out by the rather disquieting information
contained ln the northern papers in th:
rast few days concerning the formation of
a rival society with special privileges.
The women of Ihe state of Washington
have started an organization called the
White Cross, with the wife of the governor
and other women of position and Influence
at the head. In some way the White Cross
has found favor in the eyes of the übiqui
tous secretary of war, and he has given
this practically unknowti society the pref
erence in sending nurses to Manila on the
transports Scandia and Arizona. The R?:l
Cross of California, being auxiliary to the
American national society, considers this
a direct slap in the face from the powers
that be. The state organization had in
tended sending more nurses to strengthen
its field hospital corps now in the Philip
pines, but Is met with the astounding news
from Washington [hat White Cross nurses
will be taken.
Adding insult to Injury, the latter, It Is
said, are women, the sex whose services the
government has set Its face against like
flint, from the Red Cross, in the depart
ment of the Philippines. The work of the
Red Cross In San P'ranolsco for the volun
teers has been generous and unselfish In
the extreme, and the Los Angeles division
has furnished everything for which it was
called upon, from shelter tents to shoes,
and it is probable that hats mny soon b»
included. The latter necessary articles'of
a soldier's equipment are worn out. and if
Companies A, C and F are to wear hats on
their heads to the Philippines the Los An
geles division will probably have to supply
Ihem. Both the state and local societies
are at a loss to understand the treatment
the California Red Cross is receiving from
the government, and, as stated, telegrams
have been sent to ascertain the true state
of affairs concerning the nurses and the
hospital ship which it Is said will also tie
sent by the White Cross.
Judge Sheldon, one of the vice presidents
of the American Red Cross, has been in
San Francisco some weeks In the interest
of the society. A public meeting will be
held there this week, at which it Is hoped
delegates will be present and reports of th'
work In all parts of the state will be heard.
At a meeting of the board of managers of
the local society, Mrs. D. G. Stephens. se<<
end vice president, was chosen to represent
Los Angeles, and a full report of the work
done here will be sent.
A company nf little folks nf Santa Mon
ica sent ln yesterday $7, the proceeds of two
literary and musical entertainments held
at the Hotel Arcadia Monday evening and a
few days previous. They were Mabel
Lloyd, Jessie J. Blake, M. A. Foshay, Hosi.
Brownsteln, Grace Rowley, Irma Jacoby,
Wanda Hayes, Irene Mack, Thomas Lloyd.
Edmund R. Hal,-. Roy Luce, George Keat

HE'S BEEN ABUSED
While He Was All Confused, Says
James Grant
James Grant, the Florence rancher, does
not think that he was well treated by the
authorities yesterday ami he proposes to
try to prove that Justice Owens was ln
error when ho fined the man from Florence
$15 for battery. Grant came to the city
Tuesday to enjoy the sights and Incident
ally to secure some swill for swine he Is
keeping at his place. He loaned his rig to
Mrs. L. C'zarske and a companion to take
a drive but they remained away so long
that he .got tired and tried to amuse him
self with the flowing bowl.
He got drunk and knocked over some
fruit at a stand run by L. S. Ottman at the
corner of Los Angeles and First streets.
Ottman told him to keep away from the
place and Grant Instead of letting well
enough alone, picked a fight with Ottman,
so the latter claimed in.court yesterday.
The result was that Grant was arrested
on a charge of battery. Justice Owens
found him guilty and lined him $13. Grant
gave notice of appeal and furnished a ball
bond of $100.
A Sad Case
An old woman aged 70 years called at the
police station yesterday and to Chief Glass
related a story of neglect and shameful
treatment. She claimed to be the mother
of James Piatt, who is the deputy constable
that got into trouble with Mrs. Le Brun
while arresting her on July 4th for dis
turbing the peace at the corner of Winston
and Wall streets. Mrs. Piatt said that her
son was trying to get rid of her and had
failed to provide her with food. In conse
quence she was on the point of starvation.
Chief Glass directed her to go to the office
of Constable Johnston, and her case would
probably be investigated.
NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS
FURTHER DETAILS OF SANTA FE
DISASTER AT WINSLOW
INJURIES TO THE PASSENGERS
List of Wounded—Santa Fe Assess
ment—S. P. to Operate Through
Trains to Riverside—Notes
'
The passengers from the wrecked Santa
Fe overland train which was derailed al
Wlnslow, in Arizona, on Tuesday morning,
arrived yesterday afternoon. They were B
sorry-looking lot. Heads were bandaged,
and all of ihem seemed much relieved when
they left the cars for good. Several of the
train* crew had their hrads bound up. and
almost every one had a reminder in the
form of bruises or a strained limb or some
misfortune more or less severe. Mr. Mor
rison, of the auditor's office of the Santa
Fe company, was one of the passengers.
He had to climb out of a window of the
Pullman, which lay on its side, and es
caped without any hnrm. much to the de
light of several of his admiring friends in
the office, who were deeply concerned for
his safety when they heard of the wreck.
Little Ray Gooding, 8 years old, son of
Agent Gooding, of Kingman, had his head
thrust through the window when the car
went over, and accounts vary as to whether
he was drowned by having his face sub
merged In the water in the ditch, or wheth
er the injuries he received from the broken
glass caused hts death. His mother is said
to have gotten hold of his body and tried
with frenzy to pulf him back through th<*
shattered pane of glass, but without avail.
His little body quivered with agony for a
short time and then was stilled forever.
Owing: to the policy of Grneral Manage*
Nevin, It is very difficult to obtain any def
inite information's to the number of those
who were seriously injured and left al
Wlnslow. One train hand said there were
fifteen, and another put the number a*
only three; but as soon as they saw they
were talking to a newspaper man they
closed up like clams.
General E. P. Johnson, Mrs. 13. F. John
son, wife of his son, and her mother, Mrs.
Gitteau. were passengers, and were among
those shaken up quite badly, Mrs. B. P.
Johnson has a bad cut and bruised hand,

Santa Fe Assessment
The assfssment of the Santa Fe Pacific
has been reduced by the state board of
equalization a thousand dollars a mile for
the road between Mojave and Barstow, a
distance of seventy-one miles. While this
was the property of the Southern Pnoifi;>
the board thought that it was properly as
sessed; but now thnt the Santa Fe has ob
tained ownership by a trade with the
Southern Pacific, the equalizers have come
to the conclusion that the assessment of
last year was too high. The assessment
was then placed at $1,155.1W0. and is now
51,884,400. Mr. McGinnis must have done
some very smooth work in Ihe way of per
suading the equalisers to drop down several
thousands,
