News of the Courts
NEW LICENSE LAW
AGAIN ENJOINED
Temporary Order Halting Tax on
Banks Follows Filing
of Suit
DISCRIMINATION IS ALLEGED
Financial Institutions Make Sec
ond Attack on City
Ordinance
A temporary injunction preventing
the operation of the new city tax and
license law was granted yesterday by
Judge Bordwell, presiding judge of the
Los Angeles superior court, upon the
filing of a suit by the Southern Trust
company, the Security Savings bank,
the German American Savings bank
and the Los Angeles Trust and Sav
ings bank.
The action filed is directed against
the city as a municipal body, Mayor
Alexander, the members of the city
council, A. Galloway, chief of police;
H. J. Lelande, city clerk, and Clarence
M. Taggart, city t»x collector.
It Is No. 2 in a series of suits filed for
the same reason. No. 1 was won by the
banks and then tho city officials, under
date of August 24, amended the or
dinance which had lost In the superior
court, and the second suit is the result.
The allegation, in principal, is that the
ordinance, which is known as No. 20.810,
new series, is discriminatory. The de
fendants assert that the state laws
differentiate between a straight bank-
Ing business and that which depends
upon loans and discounts which do not
form an entirely legitimate form of
financiering.
The provision of the ordinance spe
cifically attacked is that "for every
person, firm or corporation carrying
on the business of banking a monthly
license of 1% cents for each $1000 of
the total loans and discounts" shall
be paid.
The complaint Is of considerable
length and of interest especially to
bankers. It affects citizens only as it
affects the city's revenues.
Judge Bordwell in granting the tem
porary injunction ordered that the re
turn of the citation against the city's
officials whereby they must show
cause why the restraining order shall
not bo made permanent Is returnable
October 24.
WOMAN CLAIMS DETENTION
IN JAIL ENDANGERS LIFE
Mrs. Gertrude A. Driggs Asks
Admission to Bail
Alleging that her heart beats 120
times to the minute and that the or
gan is enlarged to twice its natural
size, Mrs. Gertrude A. I>riggs yester
day, through her attorney, Co! Tom |
Johnson, made an appeal to Judge j
Willis of the criminal department of j
the superior court for admission to j
bail pending the result of her appeal j
to the district court of appeal from a
decision in the superior court by w:hich
she is required to serve five years in
the state penitentiary.
Recently Mrs. Driggs asked for bail, j
pending her appeal, on the ground
that both her mental and physical
health were impaired as the result of
being detained in the county jail, |
where a great deal of repairing was
being done. Judge Davis denied her
request.
Now it is asserted that she Is not
only undergoing impairment of health,
but that her very life is endangered
by detention, her heart being badly
affected and her general condition
such that though she is only 60 years
old, she looks as if beyond the stage
of three score years and ten.
Mrs. Driggs has been in the su
perior court for many months, being
accused of forging the name of John
J. Charnock, a wealthy rancher of
Palms, to a lease of 137 acres, with
an option to purchase at a low figure
She finally was convicted.
Judge Willis yesterday said that he
would take the case under submis
sion, giving his decision either this
afternoon or Thursday morning.

July 23 at Artesia by Frank M. Bell,

two of the superior court, the amount

which tlnre Is a mortgage of $6500,
•were Bet aside as a homestead for Mrs.
"Widaman. The entire estate !<;i by

TAX COLLECTOR IS READY
FOR ANNUAL PAYMENTS
Eighteen Rate Payers Wait for
County Doors to Open
In the office of the county tax col
lector, W. O. Welch, at 121 North
Spring street, there was unusual busi
ness yesterday, caused by the fact
that the taxes for the levy of 1910 and
1911 became due. While the business
was good from the standpoint of tak
ing in the coin of the republic, there
was no excessive rush, as the taxes
for the first installment are not de
linquent until the last Monday in No
vember of this year and the second in
stallment is not due before March of
1911.
The doors of the tax collector's of
fice were open at 8 o'clock and eighteen
persons were in line to pay their taxes.
William P, McCann was the first to
hand his cash over to the county. The
amount was $17.41, in full for the com
ing year, and being for the levy on
the property at ISO South Winona bou
levard.
Many taxpayers, as usual, did not
call in person, and will not do so, but
■will pay their financial respects to tho
county by mail in the form of checks.
WRONGFULLY ACCUSED
HUSBAND GETS DIVORCE
Wife Calls Hyams 'Drunk—'Em
ployer Testifies to 8 Years'
Work with 2 Weeks Off
Harry D. Hyams, a tailor, yesterday
was given a divorce from Sarah C.
Hyams, who sued him on the ground
that he was habitually Intoxicated,
which caused her such acute mental
anguish that he was guilty of ex
treme cruelty to her.
Hyams In a cross-complaint asserted
that by accusing him as she had his
wife had been guilty of extreme cruel
ty to him, and Judge Hutton of the
superior court, before whom the case
was heard, decided that the husband
was right.
George Goldsmith, husband to Lil
lian Burkhardt, the actress, who is an
employing tailor, declared that in the
eight years Hyams had worked for
him he had never seen him intoxicated.
He also said the husband is a remark
ably steady man, and in the eight
years mentioned has laid off only for
two weeks. Part of that lay-off was
for a vacation, and another part was
to afford him a brief honeymoon when
lie was married two and a half years
ago. The employer further declared
that Hyams earned only $18.75 a week.
Judge Hutton said that Mrs. Hyams
had accused her husband of being a
common "drunk," and said that any
husband with a wife who would make
such an accusation, considering that
the man had worked eight years with
only two weeks' lay-off, deserved the
divorce. And he got it.
Gesner Williams, attorney, appeared
for Hyams.

DETECTIVE TALAMANTES
FACES GRAVE CHARGE
Mexican Accuses Officer of Ask
ing $50 for Return of
Kidnaped Girl
Charges filed with the police com
mission by Apollnar Cuevas against
F. J. Talamantes accuse him of a
grave crime, and he Is to be tried be-
fore the police commission October 24.
If tho charges are proved Talamantes
will be removed from the service and
probably criminal action will be
brought against him in the courts
Cuevas charges that on the night of
August 16 three Mexicans kidnaped his
18-year-Old daughter from their home
at 1218 Mateo street. He declared
Talarrtantes saw him a few days after
the kidnaping, and stated that he
knew where the girl was and could
return her to her home for $50.
Cuevaa says that Talamantes went
to his home a few days after the in
terview and told his wife practically
the same thing, and when the dis
tracted mother asked for some word
of her missing daughter Talamantes
refused to disclose her whereabouts
until the $50 was forthcoming.
Talamantes has been a detective for
many years, but he was recently re
duced to the ranks by the police com
mission, and detailed to walk a beat.
As he was regulnrly a detective un
der civil service, the police commission
said he could not be reduced without
a trial before the police commission.
The chief restored him to duty as de
tective, but immediately suspended
him until the charges against him are
settled.
ASK CITY TO DECLARE
FRANCHISE FOR SALE
A petition bearing a large number
of signatures that was filed yester
day for the consideration of the coun
cil protests against declaring Jefferson
street a boulevard and asks that the
council advertise for sale the fran
chise desired by the Los Angeles rail
way.
Jefferson street was intended to be
a part of the cross-town car line, for
which the Los Angeles railway had
asked a franchise, but several prop
erty owners petitioned the council to
make Jefferson a boulevard and pre
vent the car tracks. The petition filed
I yesterday has a larger number of sig
natures than the one asking for the
boulevard.
CHARGED WITH PERMITTING
'CRAP SHOOTING' IN CAFE
A. J. Barnes, proprietor of the
Rainier cafe, was cited to appear be
fore the police commission at its next
meeting and show cause why his per
mit should not be revoked. Several
persons were arrested in his restaurant
recently for "shooting craps" with dice
made of lumps of sugar, and the com
mission considercs this an Improper
way to conduct a restaurant with a
liquor permit.
Henry Cook, who conducts a Baloon
at Washington and Main streets, was
ordered to appear before the commis
sion and show why his permit should
not be revoked. His permit calls for
1543 South Main street, but he has
been selling his goods at 1841. As his
place is outside the zone the commis
sion Is not likely to be lenient with
him.
CHARGES AGAINST LICENSE
INSPECTOR ARE DISMISSED
The police commission last night dis
missed the charges preferred against
H. L. Varey, police license inspector,
by D. F. Hogan, manager of the West
lake stables. Hogan accuses Varey of
arresting him while he was attending
a funeral at St. Vibiana'i cathedral be
cause he did not have a number
painted on one of his carriages. The
ordinance no longer requires these
numbers to be painted on the lamps,
but the present ordinance was hastily
amended by the council and this par
ticular provision overlooked.
Hogan has brought a civi; suit
against Varey in the superior court for
false arrest, and the commission de
cidi d to let the court settle the whole
matter.
JAPANESE WILL PREPARE
PLANS FOR PARK GARDEN
Two Japanese gardeners have been
authorized by the park eommis.sion to
select a L-ite in one of the parks for a
Japanese garden similar to the one in
Golden Gate park in San Francisco.
The commission expects to place the
garden In Sycamore park.
M. Hagiwara and T. Kato are the
Japanese who have been selected to
make tentative plans for the garden.
Hagiwara laU out the garden In the
northern city.
CLAIM ROAD EXCEEDS RIGHTS
Stop the Los Angeles-Pacific from
using lots at Sixteenth and Pacific
avenue for a freight yard, and require
the railroad to securo a franchise for
ita spurs on Pacific avenue, is tho de
mand made upon the council by prop
erty owners on Sixteenth street. They
allege the railroad has no right to use
the lots for a freight yard, and that
it has no franchise for the spur
tracks.
APPOINT 24 PATROLMEN
Only twenty-four patrolmen were ap
pointed by the police commission last
night, although then, are 100 vacancies
and the commission would be glad to
get the men. Those appointed last
night were only emergency men, for the
civil service eligible list is exhausted
and the applicants who wish to take
the examination are being pressed into
service. The examination for patrol
men will be held October 13.
SPUR TRACK PROTEST UPHELD
Because of the almost unanimous
protest from affected property owners,
the legislation committee of the coun
cil will deny the application of the
San Pedro Lumber company for a
gpur track in Vermont avenue at Six
ty-second street. The board of pub
lic utilities had reported favorably on
this Hpur.

PUPILS' HOSPITAL
MAY BE EQUIPPED
Parent-Teachers' Association Re
quests School Board to Es
tablish Institution
GARBAGE PLANT OBJECTIONS
Fund Will Be Used to Beautify the
Grounds and Encourage
Nature Study
Because of the fact that many chil
dren In the more congested portions
of the city, are in need of medical at
tention which their parents cannot
provide, a committee from the Parent-
Teacher associations of Los Angeles,
headed by Mrs. Chalmers Smith, ap
peared before the board of education
at its fortnightly meeting last even
ing to endeavor to interest the board
in the plan of providing a hospital near
the present children's hospital where
such cases may be treated.
It is the plan of the association to
have this hospital supplied by the
city in so far as lighting, heating and
sanitary equipment are concerned, and
the proposition met with favor from
the board. It is believed that the med
ical profession throughout the city
will volunteer its services. The South
ern California Dentists' association
has already stated that it would main
tain a branch in the now institution
and look after the teeth of the poorer
school children.
It Is planned to make the Institution,
In a measure, self-supporting, those
receiving medical or surgical services
paying as much as they can for the
same. The only difference from a reg
ular hospital will He in the fact that
the new institution will render serv
ices to the children which they can
not secure from regular hospitals be
cause of the cost.
BOARD FAVORS PROPOSAL
The board referred the matter to the
bijilding committee with power to act,
giving it permission to move three
buildings, which are not in use at
present, to the site selected by the as
sociation for a hospital or medical
station.
Charles Alexander, city garbage col
lector, seems doomed to find no place i
where he can carry out his contract
with the city. Residents in the neigh
borhood of the new Marengo Heights
grammar school on the Covina car
line appeared before the board and
asked it to use its Influence' with the ■
city council in preventing Alexander
from building a loading plant for gar
bage in that vicinity. The protesting
ones seemed to have no positive
knowledge as to Just where the plant
was to be located, but maintained that
it was somewhere in the vicinity of
the school.
The board appointed Superintendent
Francis and Members Page and Sted
dom to appear before the council at
» o'clock this morning and protest
against the establishment of the plant
anywhere near the school building.
GROUNDS TO BE ADORNED
The board, after an argument be
tween Acting Chairman Franks and
several members, which was a little
warm at times, approved a recom
mendation of Superintendent Francis
setting aside $6000 for use In beauti
fying the common school grounds
throughout the city, and also in bring
ing up to standard the subject of na
ture study in the schools. Mr. Francis 1
report brought out the fact that this
branch has been rather neglected in
the past.
A mass of business relating to fin
ishing up the contracts on the different
buildings throughout the city in get
ting them ready for the opening of
school was transacted,' and the fol

LANG SENDS WORD
FROM EQUATORIAL JUNGLE
National Museum Hears from Ex
pedition to World's Most
Inaccessible Spot
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—The American
Museum of Natural history has Just
received news of the safety and success
of Its Congo expedition, which has
been in the jungles of Equatorial Af
rica since June, 1909. under the leader
ship of Prof. Herbert Lang. The re
port received was sent June 30 from
Avakubi, in the Hautltura, which ex
plorers call "the most inaccessible spot
in the world." As an illustration of
its inaccessibility, they report "it was
only a few days ago that we receiyea
the Information of the discovery of the
north pole by Cook."
The expedition, which is searching for
specimens to complete the museum's
collections, thus far has secured IJOO
mammals, 1500 birds and several thou
sand specimens of small fauna, besides
a unique ethnological collection of 700
SPThe"trlp is unique in that the Belgian
government has co-operated with the
museum in financing the work. In re

The provisional government has now
recognized the seriousness of the situa

against the religionists pending the r

Barcelona riots, the popular feeling
seems to be restricted to the monks

Throughout Sunday the city was in
festival garb. Thousands came In
from the country districts and visited
the scenes of the recent fighting. They
wore medals in the form of Republican

PARROTS CAUSE ALARM
TO HORSE ON STEAMER
Macaw and Mate Leave Cage;
One Attacks Steward
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Ninety-four
passengers came in from Panama and
Jamaica on board the Zacapa of the
United Fruit company's line, three of
them being a horse and two parrots.
And these three were the liveliest of
all—so lively, in fact, that not a few
of the other ninety-one were glad to
reach the end of their trip.
Jack, the horse, is a Chilian animal,
brought Here by Paul S. Brlcson of
this city. The parrots belonged to
Kaoul Espinosa of Colon, who brought
them to present to Miss Hildreth, a
daughter of Walter Hildreth of the
Hotel Breslln. Espinosa is on his way
to Port Deposit, Md., to attend col-
lege.
One of the parrots la of the macaw
variety. Last Thursday night It broke
out of Its cage, taking the other par
rot with it. They made their way to
the after deck, where Jack was estab
lished in a specially constructed stall
which allowed him to move back and
forth six or eight feet.
According to William Watson, a
steward, he found the macaw sitting
at the front of Jack's stall, while its
mate sat at the rear. First the green
parrot would shout "gid ap" in Span
ish, sending Jack plunging forward.
Then the nAcaw would yell "whoa
and "back up," causing the horse to
put on brakes and start backward.
"They had Jack going back and
forth like a Jig saw," Watson said. "By
the time I got there he had kicked out
the baseboards both in back and in
front A minute more and he would
have broken out altogether, and the
parrots probably would have backed
him into the cabin."
As proof of his story, Watson held
up a bandaged hand.
"When I grabbed the macaw," he
said, "he put up such a fight that he
nearly cut my hand into ribbons. If
they are looking for a challenger for
'Jack,' Johnson they'd better sign up
the macaw."

front and tiled charges against Mag
