WOMAN HALTS SALE OF
DELINQUENT OIL STOCK
Charges Unlawful Acts to Com
pany's Directors and
Gets Injunction
Rosabelle H. Graves yesterday ob
tained at the hands of Judge Moss,
acting presiding Judge of the superior
court, an Injunction restraining B. E.
Bach, Joseph S. Rittlgsteln, Warren
Gillelen, H. D. Vanderveer, W. C. El
derton, W. W. Peddler and George
Renwick and the Los Angeles-Coa
linga Oil company from selling delin
quent stock Sept. 12, as planned.
The plaintiff alleges that she, as a
stockholder, objects to what she be
lieves are unlawful acts upon the part
of the defendants, who are directors
of the concern. She asserts they have
held Illegal meetings, away from the
principal place of business, and with
fewer directors present than are re
quired by the by-laws.
She objects to assessments being
made upon the stock, she says, when
she believes that the board of direc
tors gave two of its members, Ped
der and Elderton, $750 as a bonus for
obtaining the lease of oil lands, and
■when she thinks that Gillelen has stock
valued at $1000 for which he has not
paid.
When she found that the stock was
to be assessed anew to pay expenses
and the delinquent shares to be sold
Sept. 12, she asserts she did all in
her power to prevent such actions,
thinking them unnecessary if Elderton,
Pedder and Gillelen would pay Into the
treasury what she thinks they owe it.
She obtained the Injunction. An ac
counting when the case goes to trial Is
asked.

ment of the superior court.
Haddix, -who is 25 years old, and who
came from Virginia only two years ago,
eince when he has been working as a

himself out of employment, he hired the
horse and buggy with the Intention of

eXHaddtx pleaded not guilty and at his
trial offered the defense that he had
hl/ed the horse and buggy for a week
instead of a day, as the liverymen
claimed, and that he intended to re
turn it! Although the jurymen dls
ngreed with Haddix, they recommend
ed probation for him.
Judge Daviß, in granting him parole
for three years, told him that only
through honest efforts can he hope to
succeed and forbade him the use of
intoxicants and narcotics.
The Fame Judge denied probation to
Abraham Livingstone, burglar, who
rifled the Harris machine shop, in
North Main street. Livingstone was

prepared. ,
Percy Patrick, formerly secretary of
the Unit Loan company, nnd now
accused of forgery, appeared for a mo
ment in court, as It was understood by

yer did not go to court, no action was
taken. Patrick's trial has been set

CONDUCTOR BEAT HIM, HE
SAYS; SUES FOR $5000
I B. Cook Wants L. A. Railway
to Pay Him Damages
Alleging that he was seriously In
jured when a conductor for the Los
Angeles and Redondo railway company
threw him from a car, James Burton
Cook, of Eighteenth street and Mon
eta avenue, yesterday filed In the
(superior court a suit against the cor
poration for damages of $5000.
Cook asserts that August 24 he
boarded a car of the defendant corpor
ation at Sixth street and Broadway.
He was possessed of a commutation
book and. In accordance with his cus
tom paid no attention tcf the words
upon each ticket to the effect that it
was void unless torn from the book by
the conductor.
He declares that he detached the
ticket from the book In the presence
of the conductor and was about to
hand it to him when the official re
fused to accept It, despite his having,
according- to Cook, done so on previous
times without number.
On this occasion, the conductor de
manded that Cook pay his fare, mak
ing his intention of not accepting the
ticket torn from the book by Cook well
known. Cook did not want to pay
twfee and his reluctance, he avers, re
sulted in the conductor "kicking him In
savage and brutal rage," giving him a
black eye and throwing him from the
car, to his groat physical discomfort.

FAVORS CITY ENGINEER
CONTROLLING OIL TESTS
Criticism of Petroleum Inspector
Causes Plan to Consoli
date Departments
In a letter to the board of public
works W. H. Humphreys, inspector of
public works, suggests that it prob-1
ably would be advantageous if the de-1
partment of oil inspection was placed j
under the control of the city engineer's j
department. Mr. Humphreys' letter j
Is In response to some criticisms that
have been made concerning the depart
ment of oil inspection, and especially
C. A. Blackmar, the oil inspector.
When these criticisms were made |
concerning Mr. Blackmar, he asked the
department of public works if his de
partment had been of value to the
department of public works, and Mr.
Humphreys replied that it has. Mr.
Humphreys says:
"If it were not for the tests that are
made, foreign Ingredients in excess
quantities would undoubtedly be lur
ii is net! us on this work.
"There is a certain phase of the oil
testing, however, which I feel we
should consider at this time.
"In the department of oil inspection
we are maintaining a laboratory with
an inspector and his assistants, In
which laboratory, as I understand, lu
bricating oil and the various petroleum
products are tested, and under which
department a certain police surveillance
is exercised over petroleum operations.
"The city is also maintaining a lab
oratory, with one assistant, under the
city engineering department. The line
of work conducted by these two de
partments is along such similar lines
that it appears they should be com
bined Into one department. The city
would undoubtedly save money in mak
ing this consolidation, and there is no
reason why the efficiency of the serv
ice could not be maintained.
WORK IS NECBSSAKV
"We have, as yet, much to learn
about road building, particularly the
use of petroleum products In road con
struction. This is made apparent to us
when men who are making a life study
of this work differ so in their Ideas of
construction and aro responsible for
some very pronounced mistakes. To
that end, our engineering department
in making tests of the asphalts and oils
which go into the construction of our
streets and in watching the results ac
complished is not only able to deter
mine the quality of the material fur
nished, but also to make a material
advancement in our street construe-
tion.
"You will recollect that a few years
ago our asphalt streets did not com
pare with those which are being laid
at the present time. I believe we have
the best asphalt streets to be found
anywhere. This point, of being able to
watch and follow up the results of
certain mixtures is of material value
to our city. Thera/ore, I feel that it
would be a mistake to take this in
vestigation out of the hands of the city
engineer and carry out the idea pre
viously suggested, that all oil investi
gation should be under one depart
ment, I would recommend that the en
gineering department be given full
charge of the testing of all oil and
petroleum products.
'•To this I would make one excep
tion—that is, that some of the oils used
along the line of the aqueduct and
which require only a simple test to de
termine their values, which can and is
now being done at the cement plant at
Monolith, be placed under the en
gineer's department only incidentally.
IXVESTIUATE AT LABORATORY
Councilmen Betkouskl, Whiffen and
Stewart visited the laboratory of Oil
Inspector Blackmar yesterday morning
and Investigated the books of the de
partment. During the investigation it
developed that one of Betkouski's com
plaints againct the oil inspector is that
he docs work for others than the city,
although drawin™ a monthly salary of
$175 from the city. Mr. Blackmar him
self brought up the subject and stated
that he had prepared.oil specifications
for every state in the country and had
even worked for the Japanese govern
ment, but he declared he was justified
in doing work for others because he did
it outside regular office hours. He
declared that he did some of this out
side work in the city's laboratory, but
that ho had a right to use the labora
tory for personal purposes, as a largo
part of the apparatus belonged to him
personally and he used it for the city s
Benefit. __-__»,

BARNS IN NEIGHBORHOOD
Opposition to Proposed Buildings
on Santa Barbara Avenue
Protesting against th<- construction
of car barns on Santa Barbara avenue.
Just south of Agricultural park, a big
crowd of Interested persons appe:uvil
before the public welfare committee
yesterday afternoon. The protestants
want the land on which It is proposed
to build the barns added to the park.
The Los Angeles railway officials
promised they would build a handsome
concrete structure on the land that
would not be an eyesore, even if it waa
to be used for housing cars.
The committee did not come to any
decision yesterday but intimated that
it probably would recommend that the
property owners secure a petition
signed by at least 25 per cent of the j
property owners in the proposed as
sessment district and then steps would
be taken to condemn the land and add
It to the park.
GETS $3750 JUDGMENT

against Dr. W. R. Price, mining stock
promoter and psychologist of- Long ]
Beach, for $5109.50 as commission for I
the sale of stock, yesterday wai given
a Judgment for $3750 by Judge Moss,
of the superior court.
Walker alleged that he sold 9062
shares of stock in the National Gold
Dredging company for $1 a snare, for
which transaction he wanted a com
mission of $3624.80. He also declared
that at the request of that concern he
had sold 5938 shares at the same price
and that the company had given to
Price to turn over to the plaintiff in
payment, $1454.5fi. He averred that he
frequently had made demand upon the
psychologist for both sums but had al
ways been refused.
MISSING LINK TO BE
ON EXHIBITION HERE
Charles I, a Chimpanzee, Feature
of Barnum & Bailey Circus
The greatest bicycle rider and acro
bat In the world Is nothing but a chim
panzee. His name in Charlie the First
and he is easily the star of the 400
artists with the Barnum & Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth. He seems to
have all the divine gifts of man—of
course, excepting the power of speech.
Darwin said there was a missing link
in the chain that connects man with
the lower animals. The scientists of
today have asked Charlie the First to
move up from the foot of his class and
take the vacancy.
In 1903 a party of scientists found
Charlie the First in the forest that
hugs the equator in Africa. He did
not run from them, as would be sup
posed. Instead he walked confidently
up to one of the party and offered him
an armload of cocoanuts. When the
scientists pushed on the animal fol
lowed, first running into the thicket
and bringing along with htm a crude
mattress, woven from barks and moss.
Charlie marched with the party for
days. Seeing the negro servants carry
ing water and fuel at meal times he
helped them.
As an experiment the scientists
placed the animal In the care of the
skipper of a tramp steamer, where he
learned without coaching to wash
dishes and keep the deck clean. On his
return to London, eight months later,
one of the party, a Dr. Buchanan, took
the animal with him and there began
to prepare him for an exhibit. The
animal learned rapidly. He learned
more by his desire to imitate than by
being urged to his tasks. The idea of
exhibiting Charlie the First with a
circus did not occur to the doctor until
one day he discovered that the animal
could ride his bicyc)o. Scientists and
doctors began to come lung distances
tn see the chimpanzee which had lioen
described as the missing link. Among
those to take an Interest in the won
derful erratum were the king of Eng
land, Emperor William and Alfonso of
Bpain. There was but one opinion—
Charlie the First was the missing por
tion of the Darwinian chain.
The London agent of the Barnum &
Bailey ciheus induce! Dr. Buchanan to
bring the animal to America, and it
will be seen in Los Angeles on Tues
day and Wednesday. September 20 and
21. as one of the features with the bis
show. Everything Charlie the First
does proves him moie human than ani
mal. He has chosen the clothing and
the habits of a man. He dines with
the use of a full table equipment. He
sleeps in a bed and carries a watch.
In privates llfo he Is amiable and ap
preciative. He plays on the piano,
pitches horseshoes and plays billiards.
His keeper is merely the janitor of
his littte house, for Charlie the First
gews on his own buttons and shines
h!a shoes. As a performer he excels
man. He is an accomplished bareback
rider, a skillful trapeze artist, a fin
ished high-wire walker, a clever jug
pier, a splendid acrobat and -a funny
clown.
On orw of the stu;res he presents c
liiey.-lo act he created himself. Mere
instinct could not evolve such skill.
Anyone who rides i bicycle knows It
requires the judgment and reason of
human intelligence to learn. Yet this
xeature i;; ■ greater rider than any
man ever seen with a circus. Here
■< •••• the proofs that Charlie the First
possesses a divinity of mind far in
excess of nature's intent.

REGAINS WIFE HE LOST
DURING WAR'S TURMOIL
Extraordinary Reunion Dating
Rearward to Civil War Times
Reported in Ohio
KENT, Ohio, Sept. I.—As quaint a
romance as was ever written in fic
tion has found its equal here In real
life.
Philip Carr has been married to the
wife he lost in the turmoil of the
Civil war nearly a half century ago,
and is enjoying with her his second
honeymoon. They were married a few
days ago, but it was only yesterday that
the facts became known as :o their
life history.
Separated by raiding- guerillas who
captured the federal malls; divorced
because of a believed desertion, each
remarried and each again widowed,
they found the love of their youth still
aflame on an accidental meeting not
long since and their new betrothal
followed at once. Carr Is now 74
years old and his wife is sixty Xght.
It was In 1862 that Carr, respond
ing to Lincoln's second call for troops,
marched to the front, leaving his bride
of a year and his infant daughter be
hind. Some months later, when remit
tances stopped, she was Induced to r>p
ply for a divorce on the grounds of
desertion.
Later she remarried and went east.
When Carr returned from the war hi*
bride was missing and he learned of
the divorce. Stung to the quick, he,
too, married another. Many years int
er her second husband and his s.-ronl
wife died. Recently he returned to fne
Bceneß of his boyhood and here ~ie mat
the "girl he left behind him" in the
days of '62. Ho explained how the
mails had been raided and the letters,
written with the stub of a pencil in
the Tennessee trenches, stolen with hl%
slender savings from his soldier i;ay.
And he told how, when her letters
Btopped, he, too, believed he had been
deserted. Roth the old poopia say,
however, that the tragedy or year-? has
been made up to them by their hap
piness now.

AUTHORITY ON DOGS DIES
RUTHERFORD, N. J., Sept. I.—
Major J. Monroe Taylor, author of a
