DESIRE MORE ELASTIC
STREET PAVING LAW
Representatives of Huntington
Interests Want to Follow
Own Method
Pleading for a more liberal interpro
tatlon of the new street railway pav
ing ordinance and asking wider lati
tude from the board of public works,
W. B. Dunn, counsel for the Ilunt
ington Interests, nnd George Kuhrts,
chief engineer, appeared beforo the
board yesterday for a conference.
The Bpecial street under discussion
was Seventh from Broadway to Fig
ueroa, that the railway is now paving
according to its own Ideas and not in
conformity with the city ordlni
The ordinance requires two layeri of
vitrified brick on the. outside of the
rails. The railway is using one layer
of brick and it is not vitrified. The
ordinance requires broken rock to be
used in the roadbed and that the rock
■ballast bo grouted before the ties are
laid. The broken rock is being used
but not grouting-.
"It is impossible to pet grouting
through the ruck after It has been
rolled," Engineer Kuhrts told the board
yesterday. "The rolling tills the voids
with smaller pieces of rock and when
cement is placed on top it stays there
and will not percolate to the bottom.
It might go through (in inch or two
but that would bo of n<> value for
the roadbed under tho grouted rock
■would receive no benefit."
"If you can prove to me that the
grouting will not go through the roch
I will recede from my position," an
swered Gen. Chaffee.
The board unanimously decided that
the ordinance would have to be Obey d
to the letter but Attorney liunn prac
tically defied the board when he said
that grouting the roadbed was too ex
pensive a demonstration to niak" 1 r
the benefit of the board and hinted
that the railway would continue to
pave according to it.-* own ideas. If
the ordinance is not followed the rail
way will be proseeuti 1.

TO MAKE WILMINGTON
INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
City Council Is Asked to Pass the
Necessary Ordinance
To make the entire city of Wilming
ton an industrial district, except a
small portion of the northern part that
Is to bo reserved for residences. Is tho
plan of the 'Wilmington chamber Of
commerce. A petition asking that
tho city council pass tho necessary
ordinance was filed yesterday. The
small section of territory that is to be
reserved for residences Is bounded by
Vermont, Seventh, MeFarlnnd and the
northern city limits and Keyes street.
The chamber of commerce of Wil
mington realizes that because of the
situation of ths place on the inner
harbor Wilmington is bound to become
an industrial center and it wishes to
encourage this idea as much :is I
hie by opening the town wide in the
matter of selection of sites for fac
tories.
BOARD STANDS FIRM ON
ASSESSMENT OF TAXES
Reductions Granted to Corpora
tions Are Few and Far
Between
It was another bad clay for the cor
porations before the city board of
equalization yesterday for the cuts
that were made wire few and very
small.
It may be that the board will make
a large, reduction in the franchise as
sessment of the Pacific Electric, for
Sam Haskins, attorney for tho railway,
yesterday offered to show the board
that the auditor of the Pacific Elec
tric had mad;' a serious' error in de
claring that the railway bad issued
$20,000,000 of stocks while there are
only $10,000,000 outstanding.
Assessor Mallard declared he had
figured the franchise assessment on the
basis of a $20,000,000 stock issue and had
taken the- auditor's figures for It, but
that if the stock Issue really was only
$10,000,000 a big reduction should be
made in the amount of the assessment.
The Pacific Electric franchise is as
sessed at $4,894,765 and on account of
the error in the stock report the rail
way wants this cut in two. This case
will bo heard next Wednesday morn
ing-.
Hasklns, who also appeared as attor
ney for the Los Angeles & Redondo
railroad and asked that the franchise
assessment of $718,000 be cut off. He
showed that the railroad has no fran
chise north of Blauson avenue, although
it runs its cars to Second and Spring
over the Log Angeles railway tracks.
Because it haa no franchise he did not
think it should pay taxes on one.
This amount was assessed on the
railroad's franchise to do and on the
advice of the city attorney who fears
that the city's collecting taxes on a
franchise that does not exist may ham
per him in proceedings ho intends to
bring against the railroad to force it
to secure a franchlso, the council con
cluded to put the largest part of the
amount on the franchise to be. It will
amount to the same thing 1 as the rail
roads will have to pay Just as much
tnxes into the city's coffers whether
the assessment Is made on franchise
to do or franchise to be.
RESIDENTS DEMAND THAT
COUNTY PAY ROAD TAXES
Residents of the Wllshire district
lmve petitioned*the city council to col
lect the money due the city from the
county on the road taxes and use the
portion that properly belonged to the
Wilshire district as it was before an
nexation. They say their streets have
run down badly since their property
was made s part of the city.
The cnmcil would be only too glad
to get this money from the county but
there is some hitch on how much is due
and the city wants all that is com
ing to it.

MUST GIVE A HEARING
WHEN LICENSE REVOKED
Court Ruling Outcome of Edith
Thorn Case
That the police commission lias no
right to revoke a license without giv
ing the holder a hearing is the gist of
a written review of the case of that
body and Edith J. Thorn, who conduct
ed a massage parlor, that was handed
down yesterday by Judge Bordwell,
presiding Judge of the superior court.
The plaintiff appealed to the superior
court for redress when, according to

her establishment at 119i£ South Spring
street was revoked without any notice
of any kind being served upon her in
any way and while the place was tem
porarily in the charge of Julia M. Pen
dleton.
It is possible, though Judge Bord
well has not determined his course,
that he will issue a citation for the
members of the police commission to
give the court an explanation.

Higashi, is said to have found Rika
Higashi, tho latter's wife, with Shuro
Kimura, who, angered, is alleged to
have shot twice, at Nishimura with a

sufficient accuracy to harm the ob
ject of his wrath.
The Higashis want the Phimbun to
pay them $3000 and the costs of the
suit because of alleged defamation of
character.

WELL-KNOWN TENOR IS
SENT TO INSANE ASYLUM
Charles T. Hendrick's Mother and
Friends Tell Court of
Strange Conduct
Whether a beautiful voice shall bo
heard only In tin insane asylum was
a question which resulted in a sceno
of unusual warmth yesterday in Judge
Bordwell's courtroom where Charles T.
Hendrlck was arraigned on tho charge
of Insanity.
Hendrlck. who Is said to be the pos
sessor of a fine tenor voice which was
one of the late Francis Murphy's
greatest aids, is nearly Mind. He has
become crazed, it Is alleged, as the re
sult of the too ardent study of medi
cine for twenty-five months.
Mrs. Susan B. Hendrlck, the mother
of the alleged lunatic, was In court
testifying that her son had lived with
her at Long Beach until he had driven
her from her home. Then she em
ployed I>wls ("ruikshnnk. attorney,
to swear to a complaint charging him
•with Insanity.
She and other witnesses. Including
Miss E. r. ami E. v Bveretta of Pasa
dona, tnirl of Hendrick's alleged odd
performances. His mother declared
her son had reached the conclusion
that there was too much tissue in his
feet and to ri<! himself of that ob
stacle had taken sun baths. This
treatment ho followed by tearing the
skin from his feet, she alleged, the act
nearly resulting in blood poisoning.
Mrs. Kred Porn of Los Angelas In
terrupted the proceedings frequently,
ptoutly protesting against Honrtrlck's
being committed to an nsyltnn. Final
ly, after she had berated Mrs. Hend
rick until that Woman's patience \v:m
exhausted, the latter told Mrs. Porn
to go home and attend her own af
fairs.
Judge Bordwel] decided to send
Hendrick to the insane ward at the
county hospital until Monday. This
also nettled Mrs. Dorn. who wanted
him sent to a better place than that,
she said.
Out in the corridor, when tho hearing
was ended, Mrs. D >m again entered
into a lively quarrel with Mrs. Hend
riek and even made a late visit to
Judge Hordwcll's chambers on behalf
of Hendrick.
Another alleged crazy man, Henry
TJietz. manufeturer of violins, who
formerly was member of the Detroit
symphony orchestra, also was ar
raigned. He will be accorded more at
tention today.
Rob White was committed to the
asylum at Patton.
PRISONER PARTLY TRIED
BEFORE SUPERIOR COURT
Feltdtaa flari-io, alleged huralnr, wai
accorded part of a trial yesterday in
Judge Davis' department- of the su
perior court, the conclusion of it, the
arguments, being continued until Mon
day.
The prisoner, who formerly was a
chambermaid employed at 704 North
Main street, is charged with taking a
suit case froni the room of Andreas
Lopez nt the Jnme address.
Officers claim they caught her in tho
street with tho article which Lopez
declares Is his. She told» the officers,
so tho latter claim, that she found it
, under a window. It is alleged that she.
' previously had placed it there.
SPECIAL
— TO
Mayors and Police Judges
Dear Sir:
1 know you have a problem to solve. I know that in every community there are a few per
sons and in some communities there are a great many who drink to excess and many of these
have become troublesome to the officers. Some of them are frequently arrested for drunkenness
and you are required to deal with them.
When you fine them—if you make them pay a line—you know that the money they are paying
in many cases is money that has been earned by hard toil and is nearly always money that is ac
tually needed by the man's family and himself for their support.
If you sentence theso men "to do time" you know that the only effect will be to get them sob
ered up to a degree, and the result of these jail sentences la to humiliate the person sentenced and
cause him to lose what pride of will and self respect he may have left.
Taking it all in all, I believe that you will agree with me that, punishment in these cases only
aggravates the trouble. We certainly must all agree on this point.
It is true the law, in a measure, makes a criminal of an Inebriate, and when a drunken man
is brought before you you are face to face with this proposition, but the ridiculousness of the pro
ceedings of starving a man's family to punish him for something that he cannot help, must appeal
to you. I say "SOMETHING THAT HE CANNOT HELP" because in most cases this is true.
If a man is repeatedly getting drunk it proves that there is something wrong with him. No
pane, healthy man would repeat the experience of boberlng up after a drunk with the prospect of
having to sober up in a Jail.
The above statement cannot be emphasized too strongly. 1 have become so sure of this and
mv experience and Observation as County Attorney, and for several years as State Senator, as
well as my general observations of conditions, has caused me to thoroughly investigate this sub
ject with the result that I have learned absolutely that excessive drinking is the result of craving
on the part of the drinker and-this craving is caused by the stomach and system being poisonea by
alcohol.
I have also learned beyond any question thai this craving can be removed and the drinker
cured and made to be Just as healtliy and just as free from the use of liquor as he was before he
drank nnv In fact I know of hundreds of cases of men who have been treated and cured. Many
of' them wee men who were frequently in police court. They were cured by a three days' treat
ment without hypodermic injections, by the use of harmloss medicine, and it would simply amazo
you to witness the change in many ol these men, cured of the craving for drink.
Nearly every man has at once settled down to an industrious and useful life. The cure I
sp-ak of is the NEAL THMBE DAY DltlNK 11A1UT CURB. I have become so convinced of its
efficacy that I have !»■• n devoting nearly all of my time for the past six or seven months, ana
I have put a large amount of money into pushing It along.
We now have Institutes at Dcs Moinea, Davenport and Sioux City, lowa, and at Omaha, Nebras
ka and there are sixteen other- already in operation extending from New York City to San Fran
cisco and from Minneapolis to New Orleans, and within six months wo will have them in operation
In every state in the Union.
Now brother, what I wan; you to do is to Investigate this matter. I think I have solved the
problem for you which I mentioned at the commencement of this letter. I want you to get th.9
drunkards of your city cured, and you are in a position to do more in this direction than any other
person cm do If you have any doubts about the efficacy of the Noal Cure, I want to remove, them.
V eood way to satisfy yourself about it is to get some fellow to take the treatment. If you havo a
