The Knight-Brinkerhoff Piano
WE have just taken the agency for the Knight-Brinkerhoff Piano.
It is a good, reliable. Instrument, that sells regularly at $350. In
order to Introduce this piano quickly and get 100 instruments in I,oh An
geles homes at once—knowing full well that such an introduction will
bring us hundreds of other customers -we have decided to maKe the spe
cial offer named above and on these most exceptional terms. ' Of course,
no establishment could afford to sell these pianos regularly at $245. But
in placing these 100 instruments we (Ml that a strong, steady demand will
follow. The desire of piano manufacturers is to get 40,000 to 100,000 in
struments of their special moke into home*. An endless chain of buyers
Is thus formed. For how often one friend will say to another, "What a
beautiful piano you have! Where did you buy it?" And It is to popularize
this Piano, already established In the Kant and handled by the leading
dealers, that we make this special offer in the West.
We receive no aid from the manufacturer in this plan— piano manu
facturers do not make such arrangements. It Is sufficient for them to
produce the best Instruments possible for the money. It is for us to so
plat c them before the public that a steady demand will follow.
We stand squarely behind the manufacturer's guarantee for the
Knlght-Hrinkerhoff Piano. If the instrument does not fulfill our every,
claim wo' will give you your money back. These Pianos are in Mahogany'
and Oak, in the latest designs—really handsome instruments. We could
not afford to make these extraordinary prices and favorable terms unless
we felt sure that at least 100 pianos would be sold in a very short time.
We will agree that should you buy with the Idea of later wanting one
of our Kranlch & Bach, Bohmer or Kurtzmann Pianos, we will allow all
the money paid to apply on such an exchange, at any time within three
years. These Pianos will sell n« second-hand instruments then for as much
as we are offering them at now NEW.
Am examination and trial will convince you of the merit of these in*
Strnmente, Remember, after the first 100 are sold prices will be raised to
What they should rightfully be.

REFERENDUM AIMED TO
INJURE ADMINISTRATION
Tax Collector Defends License
Ordinance and Gives Mo
tive of Attack
An effort to discredit the present ad
ministration Is the way <'. M. Taggart,
city tax and license collector, charac
terises the movement for a referendum
on the new license ordinance. He made
I a statement In writing on the matter
I yesterday and Hied ;i copy with the
.mayor. In bis. statement he says:
"it does not seem possible to me
I that any fair minded or justice loving
man exnild for a moment sincerely con
sider invoking the referendum on the
new license ordinance.
"I am of the firm belief that it Is ns
iei only i (tort to discredit the ad- i
ministration, and I have mote faith |
! In the people of Los Angeles than to |
think that any considerable number
will lend themselves to such a pro
ceiding,
"For the benefit of the very few citi
zens of Los Angeles who put any cr«
--i dent c In 'the morning reactionary er
gan,' and also for the enlightenment
of some who are inclined to sign any
petition presented to them without in
vestigation I would say that the license
ordinance as passed by the council is
as near Just and fair as a license ordi
| nance can be, and that I am willing
to submit It to them after briefly call
ing their attention to the following
points:
"Kven a cursory examination of the
old ordinance will reveal the fnct that
it especially favored certain Individ
uals In their certain lines as against
people in the same lines of business.
Take, for instance, the bunks. Under
■the old ordinance any savings hank
doing a business where its discounts
did not exceed $100,000 paid a license
Of $10 a month; those whose loans
and discounts exceeded $150,000 and
did not exceed $2,".0,000, $15 a month;
those whose loans and discounts ex
ceeded $2f,0,000 and did not ex< 1
$500,000, $20 a month; $500,000 to *1,000.
--! OOfl, $30; from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000.
I $40 a month; from those whose busl-
I ness exceeded $2,000,000. (50 a month.
I which was the maximum amount paid
'by any bank whether it did exactly
$2,000,000 or did $20,000,000 worth of
loans and. discounts. This was liianl
i festly unfair to the small bank, and
even if there was not a bank in the
city doing over $2,000,000 worth of busi
ness it was still unfair, for the n
that the $2,000,000 bank would be pay
ing only at the rate of $2.50 on each
$100,000 worth of loans and discounts,
while the bank doing $100,000 worth of
and. discounts would have to
pnv $I<l, or four times as much as the
man with the $2.0(10.000 worth of loans
and discounts. Now, if the bank doing
$10(10011 worth of loans and discounts
can afford to pay $10 a month for his
license for doing this business, which
it now paya. s bank doing $2,000,000 of
l,,ans and discounts could afford to pay
at the same rate, which would, bell2oo
a month, and the bank doing $20,000,000
worth of loans and discounts should
certainly pay at the same rat", which
would amount to $2000 a month.
"In the case of the gas companies—
under the old ordinance.-the license
was $100 per month. This rate of $100
per month made it impossible for a
person of small means, or a small com
pany, to encage in the business of
I manufactujlng or distributing gas. lo
say that there was not a desire on
the part of the people to form small
companies for the manufacture and dis
tribution of gas would bo a mlsstate
nient. One Instance-there is a small
territory down about Manchester ave
nue that desires to be served with
gal but one of th<> gas companies now
doing business In this city told them
that they would not give them service
unless they paid them a bonus of $10,
--oou. Now these people oan not pay a
bonus of $10,000 to be served with gas,
yet In the. old ordinance they could
not organize a small company and
supply their own wants for the n a
son that they would have to have paid
$100 per month license-no matter
how little business they did.
"Take the ca.se of the electric light
companies—under the old ordinance a
company doing business whose re
ceipts did not exceed $500 per month
had to pay $25 per month license: those
whose gross receipts exceeded $500, and
did not exceed $1000, paid $50 per month:
those whose gross receipts exceeded
$1000 paid tIW P°r month—no matter
how much business they did. In other
words a company doing $500 worth of
business had to pay 6 per cent of their
gross proceeds, while the company do
ing: $1.2110.000 worth of business only
had to pay $100 per month, which was
one-tenth of 1 per cent.
"The three lines of business above
mentioned are the only ones that were
affected to any marked degree under
the new license ordinance--that effect
was to place them all on tho pro rata
basis which, of course, is the only
fair way, and the dragging in of the
truckmen, teamsters, laundrymen,
lodging house keepers, restaurant men.
etc., is only a subterfuge fur the pur
pose of impressing prospective signers
to this petition with the idea that a
la.rge number of license payers are
protesting against the new ordinance.
This is evidenced by the fact tljat the
section of the ordinance relating to
lodging houses and hotels Is exactly
the same as In the old ordinance. The
only change in the section relating to
restaurants is that the minimum clause
of that section was stricken out, which
leaves the section the same as it was
prior to a few months ago."'

News of the Courts
FIDELITY CO. MUST PAY
EAKINS SUIT'S AMOUNT
Plaintiff in Wrangle Over Ozman
Estate Awarded Judgment
of $3621.88
Judge Bordwell yesterday decided i"
favor of the plaintiff in the suit of
W. W. Kakins against the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty com
pany for the collection of $3fi21.58 by
the plaintiff. The suit was tried in
his court several weeks ago and
aroused much interest in view of the
prominence of the parties who have
figured in the proceedings.
The suit dates back nearly to the
death of A. M. Ozman in Riverside
on June 27, 1909, when Professor T. C.
l.ow. Sled S 'laim against the es
tate of the deceased for $18,769.14. A.
M. ozman, the son of the deceased,
was appointed executor of the estate
and the claim was rejected. Suit was
brought and judgment was rendered
tor the plaintiff. It was appealed to
the supreme court and tho judgment.
was affirmed.
Before this happened, Ozman desired
to have the estate distributed to off
set the judgment against It, It Is al
leged, and the United States Fidelity
and Guaranty corn puny went on hIR
bond for $30,000. Later", Ozman died
and his widow married Byron Oliver.
[Jowe assigned the claim to Attorney
Lynn Helm and he, in turn, assigned
it to W. W. Eakins.
Tt was alleged that of the Jugment
for the plaintiff, the amount of $3,
--(21.88 was not paid, and Eakins re
cently brought suit against the com
pany for the amount. The latter con
tended that the bond Issued to Ozman
as executor of the estate of his father
was not a proper bond.

CHARGE AGAINST MINE
OWNERS IS DISMISSED
Faulty Complaint Used as Reason
to Stop Proceedings in
Police Court
The case against E. M. Hamilton,
Sherman Page. F. M. Hamilton, Tru
man W. Hamilton and W. Lester Ham
ilton, directors of the Hamilton Min
ing and Milling company, accused of
Violating the lnws governing the man
ner in which corporation stock may
lie issued and dividends declared, was
dismissed by Police Judge Chambers
yesteray morning after arguments
were mac on a motion to dismiss bo
cause of the complaint being faulty.
The Hamlltons were arrested Feb
ruary 10. on a complaint sworn to by
A. K. Wiley, a director of the Ante
lope Valley Cold Mining company. In
his complaint against the men, Wiley
alleged that they declared a dividend
of 40U.000 shares of the capital stock
of the Hamilton company and that
this dividend was voted to themselves
and to Itoger S. Page and Elsie B.
Hamilton. Wiley further alleged that
Itvldend was made from the treas
ury stock and not from the profits of
the corporation.
Wiley and his company, it seems,
purchased the holdings of four of the
sis stockholders of the Hamilton Min
ing and Milling company and paid
18000 for the holdings, which gave him
control of the corporation. Then, he
asserts, the Hamiltons issued the
400,000 snares of treasury .stock to
themselves and gained control of the
company.
The defense contended that it was
agreed that the 400,000 shares of treas
ury stock should be issued to the
stockholders, but that they had never
called for it.
Yesterday morning the attorneys for
the defense made a motion for a dis
missal on the grounds that the com
plaint wits insufficient aiftl did not
state the facts clearly. After the mat
ter was argued Judge Chambers
granted the motion and dismissed the
case.
CLAIMS MUNICIPAL BAND
TOO EXPENSIVE TO CITY
Director Moore Declares Ordi
nance Should Be Amended
Complaint of H. P. Moore, director
of Moore's Fidelia band, that the city
is not g'-tting Its moneys worth from
the Municipal band and asking that
the ordlnanca providing for the bond
and the music COtnmlaitOfl be amend
ed, will ho referred to the music comm
ission by the council Tuescday. This
will be the recommendation of the
finance committee.
In his complaint Moore says the or
dinance provided $10,000 for band* to
play in the city parks and tiiat the
muaic commission let a contract to
Karley Hamilton for 60 concerts at
$150 a concert. Mr. Hamilton to pro
vide thirty-five men for the band.
Moore say 3 that at the prevailing
juices musicians who receive this
amount will give $105 to the musicians,
leaving $45 a conceit for Mr. Hamilton.
He also shows that the commission
made a contract with him to furnish
a band of twenty men to give fifteen
concerts in the city playgrounds for
which he received a lum-p sum of $luOO.
At this price he says he gets $9 a con
cert for himself, or only one-fifth as
much as Mr. Hamilton.
Moone also camplains that nearly
all the concerts given by the Municipal
band are in Central park, while the or
dinance provides they shall be distrib
uted around among the various parks.
He wants the ordinance amended to
provide for the municipal band com
mission to advertise for bids and let
the contract to the lowest bidder In
stead of selecting anyone they choose.
The contracts will expire about June 1.
PROTESTS TRANSFER SYSTEM
A complaint to the council on the ar
bitrary rule of the street railway com
panies in granting transfers only at the
time the fare is paid has been made by
F. F. Heddon. He says., he does not
consider this rule a fair one, and asks
the council to call the attention of the
board of public! utilities to it. With his
complaint he incloses copies of a letter
written by him to the Los Angeles
railway and the reply of J. J. Akin.
genera) manager, who declares that the
railvay found it necessary to adopt this
rule to circumvent certain unscrupu
lous persons who demanded transfers
without paying their tares.

TO DRAW SHARP LINES
IN FRANCHISE AWARDS
City Refuses to Sell Unless Pros
pective Owner Applies
That no street railway franchise be
advertised for sale on Evergreen ave
nue, from Brooklyn to Blanchard and
on Blanchard to the city limits, unless
an application is made in conformity
with conditions that are outlined in an
ordinance now being drawn by the city
attorney, i* the recommendation the
board of public utilities will make to
the council Tuesday.
A. petition signed by a number of res
idents and property owners was sub
mitted to the council last Tuesday in
which they asked that such a franchise
be. offered for sale.
But it the same time the application
was made the council instructed the
city attorney to prepare an ordinance
requiring that all applications for fran
chises must be made by the person who
intended to own and operate the road,
that he must first deposit $100 to cover
the cost of advertising and incidental
expenses, and that the minimum price
for the franchise should be fixed by
thp board of public utilities. The ap
plicants did not comply with any of
these conditions, and until they do the
franchise will not be offered.
TO PASS SEWER ORDINANCE
An ordinance for sewering Wesley
avenue from Santa Monica avenue to
Jefferson street will be passed by the
council Tuesday. No protest is exjMOt
