A TrOtter and a PAGER Test
Their Speed.
The Stallion OthellO Wins with
Ease.
Various Matters Up Before the Supe
riOr Courts Yesterday.
Judge Shaw-The Trouble the Drop
ping of Note Has Caused.

Yesterday afternoon a number OF
horsemen assembled at the Agricultural
park track to witness a match race be.
tween G. H. Reeds trotting stallion
Othello and Frank Monroe's PAGER P. @.
for purse of 5000, best three in five
heats. Messrs. N. A. Covarrubias, G.
A. Durfee and j. E. Peasants officiated
as judges, while Messrs. Ed. Ryan, Gus.
Walters and A. J. Fleming held chro-
nometers as official time-keepers. The
match was set for l 80 O'Clock, but it
was fully forty minutes later before the
horses were led out to the track, Walter
Maben being behind the trotter and
P. Q. being driven by his owner.
At 2:20 O'Clock the pair went away for
the first heat to capital start, after
scoring twice, but Othello took the lead
at the turn, and, increasing his ad-
vantage down the back-stretch, came
away an easy winner by two and a-half
lengths. Time, 2 :28A.
The pair scored twice, but went away
in good style at the third attempt for
the second heat, with the PAGER half a
length in the lead. At the quarter pole,
however, Othello closed up, and passing
his opponent, who dropped back and
never again got on even terms with him,
won easily with three lengths to spare.
Time, 2:31A.
When the pair faced the starter for the
third heat both were going splendidly,
and there was every indication that this
would be the greatest heat of the three
but rounding the turn both broke badly.
Maben soon got the trotter down to
work and forged ahead several lengths,
but L. q. went to pieces, and Othello
was twelve lengths away before Monroe
got him into his gait again, and al
though he made a brave attempt to de-
crease the gap between them, he was
fully that distance behind when Othello
came under the wire. The trotter broke
badly when about fifty yards from home,
but he proved conclusively his su-
periority in speed over the PAGER, as the
latter never got near enough to chal-
lenge him after rounding the first turn.
The pacing gelding P. @. is by Odd
fellow, out of thoroughbred mare,
whose name is unknown to his owner.
Othello is one of the best bred stations
IN the country, being by Sutton, out of
Atlanta, full sister to Beautiful Bells,
being by The Moor-Minnehaha. He is
perhaps more like Sultan than any other
OF that sire's offspring, and his Sultan
gait is unmistakable. Othello was re-
Gently purchased by his present owner
from w. K. Robinson, of Santa Ana, for
$1,000, and Walter Maben, who has
driven him several times in trials, is of
the opinion that he can easily beat the
time he made in his first heat yester-
day. He will be shipped with Orin
Hickock's string from San Francisco on
May 1st to Lexington, Kentucky.

the hard-working girls employed in the
restaurants in the city.
We pledge our warm support to any
charitable enterprise, but condemn those
institutions that deprive us of a liveli-
hood, and we ask them in the name OF
justice and reason, to cease their op-
pressive practice.
These resolutions were discussed at
some length and it was stated if it be-
came necessary an association could be
formed and the merchants and business
men forced into boycotting the lunches.
If they did not comply with the request,
the restaurant-keepers could purchase
their supplies in San Francisco and have
them shipped here.
The chairman thought that it might be
well to appoint committee to obtain
the signatures of the rest of the restau-
rant-keepers to the resolutions.
Mr.. Durkee moved that the resolu-
tions be adopted. Carried, as also was
a motion that all those present sign the
resolutions.
1t was stated it was probable that
some of the ministers would discuss the
subject from their pulpits tomorrow, and
it was thought that they would advise
against any more church lunches down
town.
A committee was appointed to obtain
signatures, and an adjournmet was taken
until Monday evening.

A Defense of the Water Company.

EDITORS HERALD-In your editorial of
April 25th, your remarks about the
quality of water furnished by the Los
Angeles Water Company, and of the
opinion of Mr.. Caswell, are evidently
written without proper knowledge or
conception of the source and conditions
of the water supply of this company.
All the water taken to our reservoir is
now procured from the springs in the
gravel deposits underlining the lands OF
the Crystal Springs Land and Water
Company, or filtered through the large
body of sandy land adjoining thereto,
from twelve to fifteen feet below the sur
face, and is conducted from submerged
vitrified drain pipes through covered
conduit to a stone-walled reservoir.
Here it runs in at one end and is
drawn out from the other, and is kept
in perfectly clean and aerated con-
dition.
This supply of water furnished our
customers today is of quality that will
compare favorably with that of any city
in the United States, and is vastly
superior to any that can be furnished
from open storage reservoirs holding a
water supply for six months or more,
exposed to the influences OF sun, air and
the consequent growth and decay OF
vegetation that always occurs in warm
climate under such conditions. Our
supply should not be confounded with
that of the hill lands, which comes
from the open ditch owned by the city,
bringing water for irrigation purposes.
We should be pleased to have a repre-
sentative of your paper go over the line
of our property and make personal ex-
animation OF the same, and will gladly
furnish an opportunity to do so at your
convenience. Very truly yours,
S. B. CAswELL,
Auditor of the Los Angeles City Water
Company.

IN THE COURTS.
What the Judges, Lawyers, Clients
and Witnesses Were At

In the United States Court Bob Straw
fenger, charged with preventing another
man from crossing his ranch in Gala
basas, was discharged by Commissioner
Van Dyke, being able to demonstrate
that he had right to prevent such tres
passing on his property.
Harry Herbert was tried for perjury
by jury, before Judge Ross. 1t was
alleged that he committed this crime in
swearing that S. A. Waldron had aban-
doned claim to some Government
land in Antelope valley, when, as mat
ter of fact, Waldron had the land seeded
to grain. The testimony for all this
failed to show that Herbert did
not swear in good faith according to the
information and belief he was possessed
of. Herbert swore that he did so think
when he testified IN the land case, and
moreover the attorney who conducted
the case knew what Herbert's informa-
ton was and instructed him that under
the circumstances he was justified in
swearing that it was his opinion that
Waldron had abandoned the land. The
court instructed the jury strongly in the
prisoners behalf, and acting under such
instructions the jury very promptly re-
turned verdict of not guilty.
In Department of the Superior Court
the moral cesspool of the DeTurk divorce
case was closed and the material cess
pool of Pasadena's sewage was opened
as to means of publication. The con-
tention is between the City of Pasadena
and I. B. Bishop, Esq, of San Francisco.
1t is to condemn right-of-way over the
lands OF Mr.. Bishop for the outfall sewer
OF Pasadena, on it's way to the sewer
farm, south of Mr.. Bishops property.
1t will take some time to settle. 1t is
more than three years since this conten-
ton was begun, and at that time the
HERALD reported its beginning merely
as matter of news, with the forecast
added that such a case was liable to stay
IN the courts for some time. The Pasa-
dena paper Jumped on the HERALD
with both feet" for this, alleging that it
showed animus against the beautiful
Grown OF the Valley. 1t was not Just to
the HERALD, which merely gave news it
considered OF Importance, and the event
proves how correct this paper was in it's
views. The case is being stubbornly
fought, M. E. Arthur, ESQ.,, CITY
Attorney OF Pasadena, assisted by
the Messrs. Haynes & Mitchell.
appearing for the plaintiff city,
and G. s. Wheeler, Esq, of San Fran
cisco, assisted by Hon. S. M. White and
Graves, O'Melveny & Shankland, for
Mr.. Bishop. Mr.. Wheeler is remark
ably bright and able young attorney.
The Salvation Army matter came up
in Department and was continued un-
til today. 1t would be safe bet to
make that the army will march again
tonight.

DROPPED A NOTE.
Mrs. Seras Held to Answer on a
Charge of Assault.


Charge of Assault.
Mrs. Refugia Seras was yesterday held
to answer by Justice Lockwood in $500
bonds to the charge of having assaulted
youth named A. L. Frye, ON the night
of the Sth inst. with deadly weapon,
by shooting at him. The complainant,
A. l. Frye, failed to appear when the
case was called, and on being brought in
on an attachment he was unable to show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt of court in refus-
ing to answer the order of the
court. He was sent to Jail for
ten days. He alleged that on
the night in question he called at the
residence of Mrs. Seras, on Upper Main
street, to see her sister-in-law, young
lady named Hawkins, with whom he
had become acquainted. AS was his
custom, he dropped note into Miss
Hawkins's room through the window,
and just as he was leaving the premises,
Mrs. Seras threw up an adjoining win
dow and fired shot at him. 1t was
stated that she did not know him, and
it was shown that she was unaware of
his nocturnal visits to her sister-in-law
and that Mrs. Seras mistook him for
burglar. The defense moved the court
for dismissal on the ground that the
evidence was insufficient to sustain the
charge, but the court denied the motion.

NEWS OF THE RAIL.
OPINIONS REGARDING THE HUNT
INGTON-MANvEL INTERVIEW.
for the 9Th of May-Mr. Snedaker Re-
moves to San Francisco.

The story of the interview between
President Marvel, of the Santa Fe, and
President Huntington, of the Southern
Pacific, said to have recently taken place
at San Francisco, in which Huntington
dared the Santa Fe people to try the
issue in rate war, excited good deal
OF comment yesterday among railway
men. The statement that Marvel ex-
pressed discomfort over the alleged fact
that the Southern Pacific got away with
the bulk of the orange freight, is not
credited by the Santa Fe people. They
say that it is not fact that the South
ern Pacific carries the bulk of that
part of the orange freight on which
there is competition. They declare that
show that the Santa Fe has shipped
Southern Pacific. AS to the oranges
sent north they for the most part GO
into territory where the Southern Pacific
has no competitor.
AS to Mr.. Huntington's suggestion
that the Santa Fe got whipped in the
last war and had better not try another,
ohC ueIClduCc 10 IcSstiuSl dc IdtIleT I'LL
dignitied and its correctness is therefore
questioned. If the conference has been
correctly reported it would appear to in
dicate the lively probability of trouble
later on. The present orange crop has
been carried, with the exception of a
few hundred carloads. Ii war is in
contemplation by either side, it will
probably not be inaugurated for several
months.
Assistant Division Superintendent
Muir returned to the city yesterday after
a quick trip over the Yuma division of
the Southern Pacific. The purpose of
the trip was to make general inspec-
ton of this part of the line. Mr. Hunt
ington, the president of the road, will
make his general tour over the line next
month and will arrive in Los Angeles on
the 9th of May. He will remain here
three or four days. He will probably be
accompanied by several OF the officers OF
the company.
w. H. Snedaker, who has for some
time served as local agent of the Denver
and Rio Grande in this city, will shortly
move to San Francisco, where he will
assume the duties of general Coast agent
for the road. w. M. Rank, who formerly
occupied the latter position, has resigned
to go into laundry firm. Mr.. Sne-
daker has many friends among the rail-
way men and general public of this
vicinity.
The Rapid Transit road, which now
runs from Monrovia to Shorb's, will be-
gin running trains into the city at Also
street on the 1st of May. In about ten
days work will begin on the branch line
into Pasadena.

FRANCES ARMY SCANDAL,
Great Sensation Caused by II Novel Writ
ten by an Under Officer.

Great Sensation Caused by II Novel Writ
ten by an Under Officer.
A French under officer named Des-
caves has recently published novel
entitled LES Sous-offs," which is Great
ing great stir in military circles on
both sides of the Vosges The novel is
intended to illustrate the moral corrup-
ton which has honeycombed the corps
OF under officers in the French army,
and which in time of war would threaten
the collapse of the French cause. From
the first to the last chapter of his
book Deserves describes the body of
French under officers as a lot of de-
bauched, INSCRIPTIONS, thieving liber-
tines, who associate only with the most
abandoned women, and often enough
are supported by their mistresses. Their
excuses, which go far beyond their
financial means, are as rule paid for
with money obtained by theft, black
mail or open intimidation from the rank
and hle, Not holiday passes, Des-
caves says, without its quota of fights
and riots among the under officers in the
most dlsreputable streets and houses in
tne large French cities. Altogether,
Deserves regards his comrades in arms
as entirely given over to immortality.
About the same position was taken
not long ago by the French Bishops
"hen they were opposing the proposal
10 enlist In the service young theolog-
zeal students. The Bishops were, of
course, permitted to speak unchecked
their opinions of army morals. Des-
caves Is not so lucky The military
authorities have degraded him from his
military rank, and civil suit has been
brought against him for insulting the
whole French army
Inc Deserves book itself, however, IA
not considered half so significant bv ner-
sons OUTSIDE OF France as the manner in
which 1t has been received by the French
press. Many Of the most reputable
French periodicals have criticised the
DOCK 1avorably and have expressed
agreement with all its allegations.
