News of the Courts
FIGHT STARTED
FOR THOUSANDS
BALLERINO ESTATE WI.LL BE
CONTESTED FOR
LAWYER CLAIMS TO HAVE LAST
WILL OF "CRIB KING"
Jeanne Uhalt Is Reported to Have
Been Made Chief Legatee—Said
to Be on Way from
Australia
After an amicable agreement had
been reached by attorneys, heirs and/
claimants of the Bartolo Ballerino es
tate, a hitch occurred in the proceed- |
ings for the probate of the old "crib j
king's" will in the superior court yes
terday, when E. L. Hutchison, attor
ney for a new claimant, Jeanne Uhalt,
fluttered a notice of contest in the j
faces of a half dozen other attorneys
and succeeded in obtaining a continu
ance of the hearing until next Monday.
At that time, he said, his client will be
on hand prepared to battle for her
rights, which are estimated at many
thousands of dollars.
So confident were the attorneys op
posed to Hutchison that they would ]
have easy sailing that the agreement j
signed by them individually and by j
the heirs was tiled in the recorder's of- .
flee a half hour before the hearing in
Judge Rives' court was begun.
Children Are Remembered
This agreement lessens Ballerino's
bequests in several instances; in others
they are Increased. Those unchanged
are a bequest to the Convent of the
Good Shepherd of Los Angeles, $5000;
Josie Patterson, $500; William Fletcher,
$500 J. M. Elliott's bequest of $10,000
is cut in half, as is that of G. F.
Conant, who agreed to receive JWOO
instead of the $2000 as provided in the
will.
The children of the deceased, who
were cut off by their father with $o
each, are, by the terms of the agree
ment, given one-twenty-seventh of the
residue of the estate, the total value
of which is estimated at about $300.
--000 These children are nine in num
ber, namely, Merced de Cariaga,
Ricardo Ballerino, Austin C. Ballerino,
Mary Ballerino de Olivns, Rachel Bal
lerino de Fish, Joseph Ballerino, Philip
A. Ballerino, Fred Ballerino and
Adela Ballerino.
The widow, Maria Arnparo Ballerino,
receives the same consideration in the
agreement as she did In the will,
which cut her off entirely from shar
ing in the estate, but, as a deed bear
ing her signature and transferring all
her interests to her children, accom
panies the agreement, .it is probable,
some arrangement whereby she will
benefit from their shares in the prop
erty has been reached.
Attorneys Given Slice
In addition to the foregoing arrange
ment the attorneys who prepared the
agreement will receive payment for
their services as follows: Thomas L.
Winder one-sixth of the residue after
bequests are paid: H. H. Appel, Henry
T Gage, W. I. Foley, each one-eight
eenth; Waldo M. York and John M.
York, one-thirtieth.
The first named four attorneys acted
for the contestants, the widow and
children, while the Yorks represented
Delia Qulen Garrison, who, according
to the will, was given the entire re
mainder of the estate after the Home
of the Good Shepherd, Patterson.
Fletcher, Elliott and Conant bequests
were paid and the nine children re
ceived their portion of $3 each.
By the terms of the agreement, how
ever, Delia Quien will receive only
four-fifteenths of the residue of the
estate after the payment of other be
quests, or something less than $20,000.
In addition she renounces her right
to appear as administratrix of the es
tate approving with the other bene
nelarlee the appointment of Thomas
L. Winder and John M. York to handle
the property. ,
When the hearing on the petition
for the probate of the will was called
by Judge Rives. Attorney Hutchison
Interposed an affidavit signed by him
self in which he averred Jeanne Uhalt
was entitled to the greater part of
the Ballerino estate and that she had
in her possession a will to prove this
assertion. He also filed a notice of
contest. Miss Uhalt, he said, would
arrive in Los Angeles in a few days
and he requested a continuance for a
week.
Later Will Alleged
The argument became heated, former
Governor Gage calling on Hutchison
to produce the alleged Will if he had
one and asserting Miss Uhalt'S attor
ney should come into court with clean
hands.
"The will is in existence; the orig
inal is in my client's possession, but I
have a copy," declared Hutchson.
He declined, however, to permit the
attorneys opposing him to examine
the document.
A week's postponement of the hear
ing was ordered. Miss Uhalt was in
Australia, it is said, when she let
of Ballerlno's death. It is claimed a
will was made by Ballerino in her
favor long prior to his death and it is
added Bhe said at the time she would
never accept any portion of the old
"crib king's" money on account of the
way it was secured.
Ballerino on June 1, 1904, it was
stated yesterday by Attorney Hutch
ison, thought so much of Miss Uhalt
that lie gave her power of attorney
to collect his rents and enter into
business agreements for him.
DECLARES SEVEN HORSES
WERE STARVED TO DEATH
Joseph Charles Heyndrex Asks Twen
ty-seven Hundred Dollars Damages
of J. P. Gaytino
Alleging that seven of his horses
starved to death in a pasture where,
according to the representations of J.
P. Gaytlno, the grass grew knee high,
Joseph Charles Heyndrex filed suit in
the superior court against Gaytlno yes
terday demanding damages of $2750.
The plaintiff says he gave Gaytlno
seventy-seven head of horses to pas
ture in August on the latter's repre
pentation that his land was well
fenced, was covered with high grass
and was well watered. These state
ments, he says, were false, the horses
cutting themselves on the fallen barb
wire fence and the grass being so
meager that seven of the animals died
of starvation.
NATURE FAKE PROBLEM
FOR RUESS TO DECIDE
HAS A DOE DEER HORNS OR
ONLY BUMPS
Grave Question Remains to Be Solved
by Hunters of Experience
on Witness
Stand
Whether or not a doe deer has horns
or only bumps or depressions or pro
tuberances on its head was still a
mystery when the trial of William
("Wild Bill") Ruess, automobilist
sman, on a charge of killing a
male deer in the Santa Monica range
July IS last, came to an end with a
verdict of not guilty in Justice Sum
merfleld's court yesterday.
Taxidermists and huntsmen of re
pute testified the skull produced in
court was that of a female deer. Other
taxidermists and zoologists and hunt
ers of as much experience as their
predecessors on the witness stand as
stoutly maintained the exhibit was
that of a young buck. Still others
were frank in admitting: they knew
nothing about it.
Ruess was arrested by H. I. Prltch
ard, deputy state fish and game war
den, after "Frank Culter, a 12-year-old
boy living at the Culter ranch in the
Calabasas mountains, showed him the
head of an animal he said Ruess had
killed. Ruess, he said, threw the head
into the underbrush, and the decapita
tion was pointed to by Deputy District
Attorney North as a suspicious cir
cumstance.
Ruess, however, explained it by say
ing the animal was too long for the
automobile, and he was compelled to
shorten it.
"We killed five deer, and every one
was a buck. I'll stake my life this
was a buck," said Ruess.
Ruess also produced the skull of a
full-sized female deer to show it had
no horns, even in the embryo state.
The jury deliberated twenty minutes
before returning its verdict of ac
quittal.

POWERS OF GAME WARDEN
INVOLVED IN FELONY SUIT
Clark V. Emory, Charged with Bribery,
Says Morgan Had No Right to
Make Him Deputy
The question whether or not county
game wardens have the power to ap
polnt deputies without limit as to num- j
ber is involved in the trial of Clark M. |
Emory, former deputy game and fish
warden at San Pedro, charged with
bribery. Emory claims as his defense
that Game Warden Morgan was acting
without any authority conferred by the
legislature when he appointed him, and
therefore, the offense, if any, is a mis
demeanor and not a felony.
Emory's trial was begun before a
jury in Judge Willis' department of the
superior court yesterday. He is ac
cused by T. Tschyoma, a Japanese, of
accepting a bribe of $10 on a promise of
Emory not to prosecute him after his
arrest in April for having in his pos
session abalones with shells less than
twelve inches in diameter.
The Japanese said Emory's first bid
for his release was $100, but that he
finally brought the amount down to $10.
Another complaint is pending against
Emory in a justice court in which he is
charged with inducing the Japanese to
give him $40 in consideration of his re
lease on another occasion.
The trial will be resumed today.

Municipal Affairs
GARBAGE BIDS ARE
DEEMED IRREGULAR
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS IS
DISAPPOINTED '
; Sam C. Hanna and Charles A. Alex.
ander Are Only Regular Bidders.
Durbin Doesn't Follow
Specifications
The board of public works was dis
appointed grievously yesterday morn
ing when bids were opened tor the coi
'lection and disposal of garbage, Only
two regular bids were submitted and
it may develop that one ot these is ir
regular, owing to a discrepancy in fig
ures, If the second bid does prove to
be irregular, the board probably "ill
reject all bids and readvertlse. But
- before doing so it is probable the board
| will again suggest to the council thai
either the flve-mlle restriction In thi
'hog feeding provision be entirely icj
moved or ilie limit reduced,
Sam ('. Hanna and Charles A. Alex
ander were the only two regular b.ci
ders. Hanna proposed to colled and
dispose of the; city's garbage by in
cineration, reduction and ding to
animals for a period of five years for
$360,345 at the rate of (72,060 a year and
by the same processi b for a ten year
period at the rate of 181,612 a year. The
longer term bid is made larger be
cause of the future growtli of the city.
Charles A. Alexander proposed to col
lect and feed the garbage to animals
outside the five mile limit for five
years at the rate of 148,000 a year or
$240,000 for the live year period and at
the rate of $60,000 a year for ten .years
or $300,000 for the ten years.
Lowest Bid Irregular
It is the last portion of Alexander*
1 bid that makes it appear irregular.
While he asks $60,000 a year for the ten
year contract, he fixes the amount for
■ the ten years at $300,000. It is probable
that he intended that the rat of
I $60,000 should apply only to the last
five of the ten years, but his bid does
not so read.
He is the lower bidder of the two
and the board of public works would
feel justified in accepting his proposal
if it is regular. The price at which
i he offers to collect and dispose of garb
age for the next five years is about
the same price the city paid Sam Mc-
Clure under the old contract for col
lecting garbage, plus the cost of in
cineration.
P. J. Durbln, who represents the
Vernon Live Stock association, offered
to collect and dispose of garbage for .i
period of ten years for $480,000, payable
; in monthly Installments of $4000 each.
This bid was Irregular because it did
not comply with the specifications,
Mr. Durbin demanding the privilege of
disposing of the garbage anywhere out
side the corporate limits of the city,
with the object of feeding it to hogs
In Vernon, where all the garbage has
been going for the last few weeks.
This price at which Mr. Durbin offers
to collect and dispose of the garbage
I Is much cheaper even than the bid of
I C. A. Alexander but, in order to be
i able to adopt it, the specifications
i would have to be changed. He is will
| ing to comply with all the specifications
I except that portion that requires the
garbage to be removed five miles from
the city if it is to be fed to animals.
Hanna Favors Incineration
If the contract was awarded to Han
na, he would dispose of most of It by
reduction. He Is believed to be sup
ported by Joseph Mesmer, as Mr. Mes
mer was one of the sureties of his
bond. Hanna submitted a communica
tion to the board in which he declared
that, if the provision for the collecting
of garbage from the back yards was
eliminated and the old methods of set
ting garbage on the front sidewalks
i restorted to, he would rebate the city
$78,000 on the contract price for the
! first five years and $172,000 on the ten
year contract.
The bids were taken under advise
ment by the board of public works and
no effort will be made to let the con
tract until It is determined whether
or not the bid of C. A. Alexander is
regular.

ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FOR
NEW TUNNEL BEING FORMED
Hill Street Property Owners Will
Probably Ask Council to Bear
Part of Expense
Frank Palomares, assessment clerk,
and H. Z. Osborne, deputy city engi
neer, are working on the assessment
district for the Hill street tunnel,
which is to be bored from First to Tem
ple and adjoin the tunnel of the Los
Angeles Pacific railway,
The assessment district will probably
go as far south on Hill street as Ninth
i and to Sunset boulevard on the north,
but it is not likely to extend east and
west to any degree. As the property
owners on Hill street will receive the
benefit from the opening of the tunnel
they will probably have to pay for it.
Although the property owners were
eager to have this tunnel constructed
and were willing to pay for It, when the
matter was first proposed several years
j ago, it is probable they will now ask
the council to bear at least a portion
of the expense from the general tax
fund. Some of them assume the at
titude that they do not want to pay
for this tunnel and have the city pay
the entire cost of the tunnel through
First street, as the exponents of that
bore havo asked the city to do.
Three Days to Withdraw
Until 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon
candidates who have filed their nom
inating petitions can withdraw from
the race for office, but after that hour
on that day they will have to go on
the official ballot whether they like It
or not.
Charles L. Wilde, chief deputy city
clerk, declared yesterday that at o
o'clock Thursday he would certify to
the names on the ballot and after thi3
certification no names can be with
drawn.

asked, The women represent tlicy wish
'to assist the memorial committee to

SADDLEROCK LIQUOR
LICENSE IS REVOKED
POLICE COMMISSION RENDERS
ITS DECISION
Graham Seconds Motion Made by
Topham to Use Drastic Measures
with Alleged Violation of
Restaurant Law
The restaurant liquor permit held by
the Saddlerock, 236 South Spring, one
of the best known eating places in
Los Angeles, was revoked by the po
lice commission at Its session last
night. Commissioner Topham made
the motion to revoke the permit and
he was seconded by Commissioner
Graham.
In seconding this motion Mr. Gm
ham declared he disliked to do it very
much, as John Brink, the proprietor,
was one of his personal friends and
ho knew- him to be of good character.,
"But," said Mr. Graham, "the cvi- i
dence we heard in this case convln
me the liquor laws have been violated
at the Saddlerock. The evidence pro
duced by the Anti-Saloon league was
not sufficient to warrant our revoking
this permit, but the testimony of the
two officers who purchased liquor in
this place without meals and of Guy
S. Garner, who testified he secured all
the liquor lit uid drink on a sand
wich. Is enough to justify our taking
away this permit."
The case against the Saddlerock
was Ivied last Friday nlslit, and .after I
healing the evidence the commission
took the matter under advisement.
The case was brought on charges
preferred by D. M. Ganriicr of the
Antt-Saloon league. and testimony
was Riven that not only was liquor
dispensed freely with substitutes for
meals but that improper conduct be
tween men and women took place,
A quiet investigation la being made
of a number of places with reputa
tions similar to the Saddlerock and it
is expected that in tho next two
months a number of these places will
be before the police commlsion.
VETO OF MAYOR WILL
GO TO COUNCIL TODAY
PUBLIC UTILITY ORDINANCE
TO COME UP AGAIN
Improbable That Solid Six Will Be
Able to Pass the Emasculated
Measure Over Alexan.
der's Head
The mayor's veto on the public
utility ordinance will go to the coun
cil this morning and as soon as it is
presented another fight on the matter
Is expected.
To pass the ordinance over the
mayor's vteto will require seven votes,
and it is not likely this number can be
mustered for the Dromgold emasculated
measure. Wallace and Wren are un
nlterably opposed to tho ordinance,
and President Pease does not approve
of it in its present form. These three
voted against it last Tuesday and can
be expected to repeat their votes if
the proposition of passing the ordi
nance over the mayor's veto comes up.
Councilman Henry Lyon may not
stand with Dromgold as he did !ast
week. He declared he had been as
sured that the commission selected
and legislated into office was s,i ex
cellent one and that all the members
had agreed to serve. He was disap
pointed when Joseph Scott withdrew
from the commission the day fullowing
its announcement, with the statement
that he had not been asked to accept
such a position.
It is possible that Lyon will get
out his own public utility ordinance,
which he introduced into the council
several weeks ago and which was laid
on the table, and try to induce the
council to unite on his measure. While
I the Lyon ordinance says nothing about
I street car franchises, it provides for
j a commission of five membei-3, three
to be selected by the chamber of com
merce, Merchants and Manufacturers'
1 association and Municipal leuguo, and
I two by the council. This commission
will receive no pay for its work, but
will be empowered to employ experts
who will be well paid.
Lyon's ordinance is really a com
promise between the nothingness pre
sented by Dromgold and passed by
the six fantastic fixers, and the or
dinance which the Municipal league
will put on the ballot by the initiative
process.
REALTY OWNERS OBJECT
TO PAYING FOR CULVERT
Council Gets Itself Into Trouble by
Adopting Storm Drains
Policy
By adopting the policy that no more
storm drains would be constructed ex
cept at the expense of the city the
council has got itself into deeper wa
ter than it anticipated.
Property owners in the assessment
district for the improvement of Ruby
street from Avenues 62 to 63 will pre
sent a protest to the council today
against paying for the culvert that is
part of the street improvement. They
will ask that the city pay for this cul
vert out of the general tax fund, in
accordance with the policy adopted by
the council.
While a culvert, which Is really a
short storm drain, could come under
the general heading of storm drains
it was not the intention of the council
to include these culverts in Its ex
pressed policy. The only storm drains
to which the council had referenco
were the big districts where large
amounts of storm water are cared for.
The council adopted the attitude that
an excess of storm water in one par
ticular place waa not the fault of that
place but more or less of the whole

Be Wise in Time
You cannot keep well unless the bowels are regular. ,
Neglect of this rule of health invites half the sicknesses
from which we suffer. Keep the bowels right; otherwise
waste matter and poisons which should pass out of the
body, find their way into the blood and sicken the whole
system. Don't wait until the bowels are constipated; take
BEECHAM'S PILLS
They are the finest natural laxative in the world— gentle,
safe, prompt and thorough. They strengthen the stomach
muscles, and will not injure the delicate mucous lining of
the bowels. Beecham's Pills have a constitutional action.
That is, the longer you take them, the less frequently you
need them. They help Nature help herself and

AUGMENTED POLICE
FORCE IS REQUIRED
Territory to Bo Annexed Makes It
Necessary to Add Several
More Patrolmen
When the territory known as the
Colcgrove and Arlington Heights dis
trict Is annexed to Los Angeles at to
day's election, twelve square miles
will be added to the city's territory.
This additional territory must be
policed, Chief Dishman told the com
mission last night, and it cannot bo
done with the force the city now has.
He suggested the commission ask the
council for at least one more police
man for every square mile. The com
mission agreed to this but when the
request goes to the council it will
probably be for twenty-five more men.
The police force Is now far short of
what it should be and even if all the
extra men were not used in the new
territory they could be used elsewhere
In the city.
WOMEN WILL BE ADMITTED
TO ONTARIO COUNTRY CLUB
Committee on Membership Decides to
Revise Rules in Favor of
Fair Sex
ONTARIO, Oct. 18.—The committee
on membership of the Ontario Country
club, which recently closed, met this
week for the purpose of reorganizing.
As a result It was decided to propose
amendments to the by-laws whereby
women shall be admitted to the club
with all the privileges of male mem
bers. The initiation fee for these, If
the amendment be adopted, will be $10,
dues $1 a month. The initiation fee and
dues for men will remain the same, $25
and $2 a month. It Is proposed to fit up a
room In the handsome club house for
the exclusive use of women, and to
afford features that will make mem
bership attractive to them.
The membership committee is com
posed of seven members, and It has
formulated a plan whereby the list will
soon be filled with live members. With
these plans, it is hoped that the or
ganization will soon be on its feet
again.
