STOCK MANIPULATOR'S
VICTIM GETS JUDGMENT
Court Grants Hospers a Verdict
of $10,000 Against Row
ell's Two Bondsmen
Recalling the troubles of Elmer
Ellsworth Rowell. mining stock manip
ulator, who is serving a term in tne
penitentiary for obtaining money by
false pretenses, Judge Hervey of the
superior court yesterday rendered a
decision by which P. Hospers, one of
Rowell's victims, was givon Judgment
for $10,000 against the convicted man s
bondsmen, Warren Wilson, his brother
in-law and president of the Daily
Journal company, and Mrs. M. A.
Mentier of Pasadena.
Hospers, who at one time was inter
ested in propositions fostered by
Kowell, obtained an order for the lat
tcr's arrest from judge James, when
he was on the superior bench, April
34, 1909. T. obtain the order ha al
leged that Rowell was found guilty of
frautl in contracting a debt to the
timount of $19,530, and that he feared
the accused man would leave the coun
try without making a settlement.
When Rowell was taken into custody
Judge James fixed his bond at $10,000.
Wilson and Mrs. Mentier went his bail,
with the provision that they would
reimburse Hospers to the extent Oi'
$10,000 if a judgment were rendered
against Rowell.
Meantime Rowell disappeared and
failed to appear when his case
called In lourt, and it was not until
several months had elapsed that he
finally was found in hiding in this city,
and later, admitting his guilt to one
charge and with the others officially
"scratched off the list' against him,
was sent to the penitentiary.
A judgment against him in Hospers'
favor for the entire $19,530, however,
was rendered December 21, 1901, and
similar actions brought against him
by the same man resulted in judg
ments aggregating $63,435 more, or
nearly $83,000 in all.
Following the judgment In his fa\or
for the original $19,530, Hospers filed
the suit against Wilson and Mrs.
Mentier.
THREE SUE FOR DAMAGES
AMOUNTING TO $50,000
Omnibus Accident and Fire at
Plant Cause Actions
Actions for damages aggregating
$50,000 were filed yesterday in the
superior court.
Lewis W. Ball wants $25,000 from the
American Transfer company, a cor
poration, and the Tally-Ho stables, In
corporated, because of Injuries he suf
fered May 28, 1910, and for which he
blames the defendants. He declares
that the two companies operate a line
of omnibuses between the Southern
Pacific station and the hotels, and that
he, the day named, had paid them 25
cents for the ride from the Arcade
station to the Hotel Nadeau. On the
way. he avers, the rear wheels of the
vehicle in which he was riding came
off and he fell to the pavement, suf
fering many injuries, among which
paralysis and hemorrhage of the spinal
cord are mentioned.
Charles Olschewskl Is suing the Bar
ber Asphalt company for $15,000. He
says he is a concrete worker and was
employed by the defendant May 14,
1910, and tried to extinguish a fire
which broke out in the company's
plant nt Alhambra and Date streets on
that day. The plant was equipped
with chemical apparatus for putting
out fire. Part »of the mechanism ex
ploded, causing him many injuries,
among which was the alleged loss of
sicht of his left eye.
Frank Scealy filed a third suit. His
action is almost Identical with that of
Olschewski's. He was employed by
the same company, which he names as
defendant. He also as=i=teil at the
fire and also was Injured, suffering,
*- alleres, the impairment of nwlv
all of his faculties. He wants $10,000.

Not one of the nine witnesses called
by the prosecution yesterday in the
Of C. F. Stevens, charged with
assault with a deadly weapon on Kd

Stevens' trial Is being held before
Judge Davis of the superior court.
He is accussed jointly with Claude

LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 16, 1910.
SUIT OVER WILL, DEVISING
$150,000 ESTATE, ON TRIAL
Aunts Try to Show Dead Woman
Was Mentally Unsound
A will contest which Involves the
$150,000 estate of Miss Mary Green,
who died recently in Pasadena, was
begun yesterday before Judge Rives
of the probate court. The contestants
are the three elderly aunts of the dead
woman.
Miss Green, who wa.s the daughter
of P. M. Green, a banker of the Crown
City, who died in 1903, devised all of
her property to one aunt, Mrs. Har
riet Campbell of Pasadena, 71 years
old. Now another aunt, Miss Anna G.
Porter of Smith Pasadena, 70 years
old, is attacking the instrument, al
iening that Miss Green was incompe
tent to make a will March 17, 1909, the
date tin' paper bears, as for a consid
erable period before that time she had
been suffering from delusions.
Miss Porter wants the court to order
the '.istrihutlon of the estate equally
among her, Miss Campbell and an
other aunt, Mrs. Mary Campbell Neff,
74 years old, who is a resident of Dal
las Center, lowa..
The contestant is trying to prove
that Miss Green was not right men
tally when she gave all of her estate
to one aunt. It is declared that she
believed her mother, Mrs. Henrietta
Green, who died in January, 1903, was
still alive, and appointed her executrix
of the will. According to the instru
ment the mother, if alive at the time
of Mill Green's death, was not only
to execute the daughter's wishes, hut
to have all of her property. It also
is alleged that Miss Green once tried
to end her life with poison.
The defense is that as the daughter
was ill at the time of her mother's
death the bereavement was kept a
secret from her.
REQUEST THAT COURT STOP
SUIT FOR ACCOUNTING
Action Brought Here Also in San
Bernardino Courts
All parties concerned in the action

stockholders in the California Fruit
Growers' association, for an account
ing of money alleged to have been in
vested with that organization P.nd al
lied corporations, yesterday told Judge
Hutton of the superior court when the
case waa called that they desire liti
gation here stopped, as the same prop
erty is involved In a controversy in
the San Bernardino courts.
The ease has been in Los Angeles
courts for four years and the docu
mentary evidence to be introduced if
j the case goes on will be of immense
| volume. Judge Hutton is busy hear
ing the arguments of the attorneys on
both sides in support of the requested
stay of proceedings here at least
until the end of the San Bernardino
litigation.
COURT ADMONISHES MAN
TO BECOME TEETOTALER
Archibald Douglas, charged with
vagrancy, calling himself a "hotel
worker," appeared before Police Judge
Rose yesterday morning. Douglas
was indignant over his arrest and re
sented being classed as a vagrant. He
declared it completely beyond him to
understand why officers should charge
him with being constantly drunk for
two weeks.
"Well, how about your drinking?"
the court asked. "You drink some,
don't you?"
Judge Rose's manner was mild and
the prisoner's stern mood softened.
"I do drink some, your honor," he
replied, "but then, anybody does that."
After admonishing him to drink
nothing at all but clear water, Judge
Rose fined the prisoner $90 and sus
pended sentence.
TRIAL OF SUIT TO RECOVER
COUNTY TAXES IS BEGUN
The cases of the Los Angeles Gaa
and Electric corporation and the Pas
adena Consolidated Gas company
against the county of Los An
geles for the recovery of taxes paid
in 1908 was bejun yesterday before
Judge Wilbur of the superior court
and will be resumed today. The cor
porations allege that they were doubly
taxed when the county levied on them
for the use of streets, as their rights
in that respect were covered in an
other tax. The Los Angeles concern
is suing for $24,572.26 and the Pasa
dena company for $773.43.
FEATHER WILL FILED
The will of M. D. Feather, who died

will bears the date of May 11, 1908.
WANTS NAME CHANGED
Samuel Unterweiser yesterday filed
in the superior court a petition to
change his name to Samuel Wiser.
He says he desires the change because
so many persons confuse his name
with T'ntermeyer, with the result that
he la caused many annoyances, in
cluding the frequent loss of mall.

more rapidly than at first thought, al
though no totals will be ready for an

well Btarted yesterday.
More than lmlf the election officers in
the primary election had to be sura
moned before ihe board to correct re

dently caused by previous experience
on the part of the officers, as many of
those who served during the primary

CITY HALL ANNEX PLANS
ADOPTED, DESPITE FIGHT
Board of Public Works Instructed
to. Advertise for Bids
Opposlton to the plans for the new
city hall annex developed in the coun
cil yesterday because of the estimated
cost, which is between $18,000 and $25,
--000. But the plans were adopted by a
vote of six to three, and tho board of
public works was instructed to adver
tise for bids.
Tho appropriation for the annex In
the budget Is only $12,000. and Wash
burn and Stewart, members of the
finance committee, who have to find the
money, and Gregory wanted the plans
revised to provide for a cheaper build
ing. Washburn and Gregory are also
members of the building committee, and
Whiffen, chairman of the committee,
has had to fight the battle alone.
But Whiffen believes the building is
as cheap as it can be made and pro
vide the necessary space, anfl said yes
terday that in a year and a half it will
more than snve its cost by.iedueing
the outside rental the city now pays.
PREPARATION OF 5-CENT
FARE ORDINANCE ORDERED
Council Acts on Recommendation
That City Has Right to Act
Prepare an ordinance compelling the
railway companies to grant 5-cent lares
all over the city between Manchester
avenue and the San BernarcHno base
line and the cast and west city limits,
was the instruction the council gave the
city attorney yesterday morning.
This action was based on a recom
mendation of the board of public utili
ties that after long consideration has
decided that the city not only has the
legal right to demand 5-cent fares but
that such a demand is just.
An ordinance of the kind proposed by
the council will give straight 5-cent
fares to Colegrove and Hollywood and
the shoestring annex as far as Man
chester. All three of these places have
been demanding 5-cent fares for
months.
COUNCIL INSTRUCTS BOARD
TO HAVE WIRES BURIED
The council yesterday denied the rec
ommendation of the board of public
works that the ordinance requiring the
public service corporations to place
their wires on conduits on San Pedro
street, from Fifth to Aliso, be repealed.
Instead the council instructed the board
to require the public service corpora
tions to place their wires underground
at once. Councilmen were indignant
over the request. Councilman Andrews
most of all.
"Presuming that the city council will
follow the recommendation of their
friends, the board of public works, the
public service corporations have pro
ceeded to place their poles in the new
sidewalks on this street built by private
contract," said Mr. Andrews. "I call
this a contemptuous outrage, and the
council should not be a party to It."
WIDENING OF EAST EIGHTH
STREET IS ABANDONED
Proceedings for the widening of East
Eighth street, between Main and Cen
tral, were abandoned by the council
yesterday on condition that the proper
ty owners pay the costs incurred by the
city in the proceedings. This will
amount to about $2000, but the proper
ty owners were so delighted with the
prospect of not having to pay $350,000,
the estimated amount of the improve
ment, that they readily agreed.
It may prove that the council has
no right to abandon the proceedings,
as the matter has gone as far as an
interlocutory judgment in the courts,
but there is a contention that the act
under which the proceedings wore tak
en Is invalid.
COUNCIL RECEIVES FIRST
BID FOR WHARF PRIVILEGE
The first bid for a wharf franchise
ever received by a Los Angeles city
council was submitted yesterday by the
National Lumber company when it of
fered $100 for a franchise to extend its
wharf on Terminal island.
The wharf is not on disputed land,
but on property owned by the Salt
Lake and there seems to be no ques
tion of public rights involved; but to
prevent any possibility of such a thing
the matter was referred to the council's
harbor committee and the harbor com
mission for consideration.
VERNON REFUSES TO PAY
SHARE OF SEWERAGE WORK
Unless the city of Vernon pays Los
Angeles the price agreed on for the use
of the South Los Angeles main sewer,
the sewer connections that have been
made by Vernon will bo closed. The
council yesterday Instructed the board
of public works to take this action.
When the main was constructed
through Vernon people could make con
nections on the payment of certain
sums. Connections have been made,
according to the city engineer, but no
money has been paid to the city.

The Center of Home Building
\
At no other time has there been so much home building in the
New Southwest — the most rapidly growing section in Los
Angeles—as at present. • • v
Records of the Water Department show that never within a
similar period have so many new families moved into the dis
trict, as in October last.
This building activity is not speculative, not in anticipation of
future growth, but to meet actual, present needs of home makers.
Not one of the lots sold in Vermont Square during the last four
months has been purchased merely as a speculation. Every sale
has been to an immediate or prospective home builder!
