the room with awnings, reserving this
part for the dining tables, where sup

tinguished and a spotlight was thrown
upon the leaders, following them in
their wanderings throughout the dura
tion of the march. This was a distinct
surprise and added considerable nov
elty to the evening's entertainment.

remained until:, a late hour. It was a
strictly formal gathering, and among
the guests were many of the elite «t
Los Angeles, Pasadena, Hollywood and

were elegantly decorated, each bear
ing a silver candelabra and a bouquet

REFUSE TO PAY
ASSESSMENTS
RAILROADS' DELAY BLOCKS
IMPROVEMENT
Private Property Owners Settle Their
Share for Proposed Widening
of Sixteenth Street and
Want Work Done
To pay under protest their assess
ments for the widening ot Sixteenth
street with an agreement the money
will be returned If they win their suit
against the city, is the compromise sug
gested yesterday by Chairman Wash
burn of the finance committee to rep-
resentativea of tho Los Angoles-Paclno
and Los Angeles Interurbnn railways.
The plan did not meet the approval of
the attorneys for the company, but the
matter was referred back to the city's
legal department to effect some kind
of compromise of this nature If pos
sible.
The proposition for widening Six
teenth street from Flgueroa to Pacific,
street has been under consideration for
about three years, but is still far from
realization, and the attorneys for the
railways declared yesterday the fault
was largely with the city's legal de
partment.
When the assessment for widening
this street was levied these two rail
way companies were assessed $SOOO as
their share of the cost of the improve
ment. The other property owners in
the district were assessed about $61,000,
and this money has all been paid. The
railways enjoined the city from selling
their property for delinquent assess
ment on the ground that poles, wires,
tracks and right of way woro not aß
sessable property. In the course of the
legal proceedings about a year and a
half ago the railways filed a demurrer,
and it was the city's duty to answer it.
The railway attorneys said yesterday
thin answer had never been filed.
Interested property owners want the
city to advance the $8000 assessment
the railways owe ,and when the suit is
decided collect the money from the rail
ways and place It in the general fund.
The financial committee does not ap
prove this plan, but believes some other
compromise can bo arranged.
MAYOR TO AID IN FIGHT
AGAINST MONEY LENDERS
Alexander Declares His Willingness to
Assist Others in Freeing City
Hall of Loan Sharks
Fire Commissioner Charles O. Haw
ley has struck a responsive chord
among the other commissions in his
effort to wrench the clutches of loan
sharks from the city payrolls.
After learning of Commissioner Haw
ley's determination to release the fire
department from the domination of the
money lenders, Judge Charles Silent of
the park commission visited the mayor
yesterday morning and offered his co
operation In the crusade as far as the
park department is concerned. Mayor
Alexander stated the police commission
would take up the question at onco in
behalf of the polico department.
"We invite the confidence of the em
ployes who are in the clutches of these
loan sharks," said Mayor Alexander
yesterday. "We do not Intend to crit
icise the men who have been unfor
tunate enough to become the victims of
these money lenders, but will do what
we can to help them, and If we find a
way will free them from the slavery
into which they huvo been forced. We
do not want our employes to avoid pay
ing just debts if any of them In the
hands of loan sharks feol justified In
going into bankruptcy to free them
selves.
"With two such determined and cap
able men as Mr. Hawley and Judge
Silont interested in-this matter there
is sure to be a favorable outcome.
Ever since I have known anything
about this city hall the loan shark has
been the worst problem with which we
have had to deal, and we can all breathe
easier when he troubles us no more."
PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECT
TO ASSESSMENT FOR PARK
Property owners In the affected as
sessment district have entered a pro
test to the petition that the tract of
land suiTounded by Wilshire, Com
monwealth, Sixth and Benton streets
be condemned and the land added to
Sunset park. They claim the pe
tition represents only 2500 feet out of
300,000 feet in the assessment district
or about five-sixths of 1 per cent. The
protestants agree the land should be
made a part of Sunset park and that
now Is the proper time to acquire it,
but contend it should be purchased at
the general expense of the city.
The petition to have this land add
ed to Sunset park was presented to
the former council and referred to the
city engineer for a report as to the
amount of frontage represented. Be
i causa of a ruling of the old council,
' that no petitions for park condemna
tions which did not bear the signa
tures of the owners of 25 per cent of
the frontage would be considered, noth
ing was done with this petition. But
the present council has rescinded this
rule and it Is probable the petition will
be presented next week.
COMPLAIN OF CONTRACTOR
Newmark Bros, yesterday complained
to the board of public works that the
contractor who has purchased the oM
houses on San Pedro street that passed
into the hands of the city when lanJ
was condemned for the opening nnl
widening of the street was not showing
due diligence in removing them. They
asked that some steps be taken to
hasten the work. The board in
structed Secretary Ferris to notify the
contractor that if ho delayed longer lie
did so at his own peril, for no exten
sions of time will be given him beyond
tlie sixty days fixed in his contract.
SPITE FENCE MEASURE BAD
Owing: to the wording- of one section
of the "spite fence" ordinance, the
prosecuting attorney's department has
found It to be Invalid, and the board of
public works yesterday instructed the
building Inspector to draw up a proper
ordinance. The present ordinance for
bids the erection or .maintenance of
fences more than five feet high, except
by 'permits Issued by the board of
public works, but It does not specify
how high the fences may be when such
permit! are issue! . . ,

nilnLstrator, who was appointed by
Judgo Rives in August, l'.iOS, to take
charge uf tha property until a search
should determine tho existence or non
existence of relatives of tho dead
woman.
Tho new claimant Is Mrs. Martha |
Monro, and in a letter from James
Harter & Co., solicitors, Belfast, Ire
land, it is asserted she is a niece of j
the deceased, a closer relationship
than any heretofore put forward by
numerous persona whoso petitions for
generous slices of the estate make up
the bulk of the records in the case.
Mrs. Walden died August 21, 190S,
leaving property valued at nearly
$200,000, the principal asset of the es
tate being Improved property at tho
southeast corner of Main and First
streets.
Claimants to the estate have been
many since the fact was published
that the public administrator was
searching for relatives of the deceased.
Until yesterday these claimants have
declared themselves to be distantly
related to Mrs. Walden, and should
the statement of Mrs. Monro that she
is next of kin to the dead woman
prove true the property, in all prob
ability, will bs turned over to her.
According to the letter received by
Mr. Bryson, Martha Monro Is a niece
of Mrs. Walden, who, they say, was
a daughter of William and Martha
Wilson, formerly of Bally Connel,
County Cavan, Ireland. A large array
of other facts in connection with the
Walden family history are given by
the solicitors.
WIFE UTILIZED BY
HUSBAND AS TARGET
FOR EGG THROWING
Woman Also Alleges Spouse Kicked
Her Because She Declined to Re.
move His Slippers—Divorce
Is Granted Her
Within seven months after the wed
ding bells ceased to ring, Mrs. Lillian
Louise McCandless was made the tar
get for nine eggs, thrown with uner
ring- aim by her husband, William
McCandless, a salesman, according to
the story she told Judge Moss in the
superior court yesterday.
Mrs. McCandlesß was, granted a de
cree o£ divorce, alimony and the cus
tody of two ci-'dren. She testified
she married McCandless at Santa Ana
November 19, 1905, and recited a num
ber of instances of alleged cruelty on
her husband's part, the first ocurring
April 27, 1906, when, she said, he
kicked her because she refused to re
move his slippers.
"June IT, 1306," added Mrs. Mc-
Candless, "he threw nine eggs at mo
because I bought a ham and a half
case of eggs without his knowledge.
He also refused to call a doctor when
I was ill, because, he said, he wanted
to punish me for refusing to live with
his mother."
In Judge Houser's divorce court H.
H. Jadvin was on tho witness stand
several hours during the trial of De
kalb Spurlin's suit against his Wit*
Maud M. Spurlin. Jadvin is named
by Spurlin as co-respondent, but he
proved to be a reluctant witness. So
fvasive were his replies that Attorney
AviM'l asked Judge Houser to send tho
witness to jail "until he could refresh
his memory."
The attorney finally abandoned his
efforts to gain any- information from
Jadvin, with the remark that it was
the first time he had ever been worn
out by a witness. The trial will be
resumed Thursday.
Judge Hervey denied a decree in
the suit of John Tayian against his

ADMITS COMMISSION
OF MANY CRIMES
Man Accused of Entering Home of E.
L. Dawley Says He Has
Been Busy for Some
Months
Harry A. Lockwood, arrested several
days ago and held to answer to the su
perior court on a charge of robbing the
home of E. L. Dawley, January 6, ap
peared in Judge Willis' department of
tho superior court yesterday, and in
addition to pleading guilty to the
charge recorded against him, acknowl
edged the commission of a large num
ber of other robberies extending over a
period of several months.
When Lockwood, following his arrest
by Police Detectives Jones and Boyd,
told a portion of the story of his mis
deeds it was the belief of the police
department that the operations of the
mysterious daylight burglar had tieen
halted. This belief, while erroneous,
was due to Lockwood's confession of
his numerous offenses.
Lockwood told a straightforward and
apparently truthful story in the crimin
al court yesterday, detailing his move
ments from the time he left his native
state—New Jersey—nine years ago, un
til ho was arrested. Ho is naw about 21
years old. In his wanderings, he eaid,
ho had worked on farms, in lumber
camps, on shipboard and traveled from
suito to state with road shows. His
first robbery was in Redlands, two
months ago, he said, when he was out
of work and needed money. Then he
