ARCHITECTS PROTEST.
DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT BAKER
ASKED TO EXPLAIN.
Questions Regarding Protest Filed
With Mr.. Baker.

The following communication anent
Assistant Superintendent of City Schools
Baker, who is also secretary of the
board of education, explains itself:
EDITORS HERALD A short time ago
the board of education let contract for
the construction and completion of a
school house on the corner of Ann and
Blum streets, this city, and upon the
completion of the same the paid archi-
tect of the building filed with the secre-
tary of the board his written protest
against allowing the contractor the full
contract price, and recommended that
there be deducted therefrom the sum of
$3.50, and the same was filed with the
secretary of the board nearly four weeks
ago. Last night deemed it desirable
to examine that protest, knowing that
it would come up for our rejection or ap-
proval. / went to the secretary, Mr..
Baker, for it, who informed me that Mr.
Mcintosh had it, and Mr.. Mcintosh in
formed me that he only had copy OF it,
and that it was still in the possession OF
the secretary. returned to the secretary
for it, who first informed me that the
chairman of the finance committe had
it, and when informed him that it was
not true, then he replied that the archi-
tect had withdrawn his written protest.
then Immediately interviewed the ar
chitect, who wac then present at the
meeting of the board, and he rewrote
his protest and signed and gave it to me
for use. In the mean time some of the
members knowing that was preparing
to have the matter investigated, post
poned action in the matter for another
week. But in my absence at the last
regular meeting OF the board, the school
building was accepted by the board,
although that written protest of the
architect was then on file with the sec
retary of the board. And last night the
matter of the payment of that bill regu-
larly came up with other bills, but
WAS shuffled over until our next meet
ing. Now desire to say that Iregard
this system Of procedure on the
part OF the secretary as q
public calamity, in fact pub
lie disgrace. And unless business
communications involving $3.50 are re-
ceived, filed, sacredly preserved for
future use and reference, what guarantee
or protection have the public against
duplicity, dishonesty, fraud and cor
ruption? may well ask by what right
or authority does he attempt to deceive
me. by telling me that the architect had
Withdrawn his protest, when in truth
and in fact he had not. 1t does seem to
me a fit illustration of the general meth
DDS now in vogue in our school depart
ment, and one which merits the atten-
tion and reproval of all honest business
men who are interested in the welfare
and prosperity of those institutions
which are the pride and crowning glory
Of our American civilization.
Yours, ETC., M. WHALING.

A MIXED PARTNERSHIP.
Mrs. Lee and Her Chinese Partner
Sue Mrs. Abbott.

Sue Mrs. Abbott.
The trial of the suit of Mrs. L. Lee and
of Lee Long against Mrs. Merced Abbott
was commenced yesterday in depart
ment three, Judge Shaw presiding. 1t
is a jury trial, and suit for damages.
Mrs. L. Lee, who is white woman,
married to a Chinaman, and Lee Long
rented for period of eighteen months
from the defendant a store numbered
412 on North Main street, which they
transformed into restaurant. They
allege that the fixtures, ETC., cost them
all of 5000. On the 1st of April water
pipe just above the restaurant began to
leak, and caused some damage to the
roof of the restaurant. The proprietress
was informed of the state of affairs, and
the plaintiffs allege that she neglected
to order the necessary repairs, in conse-
quence of which their wall paper and
fixtures were very considerably dam
aged. The receipts, which until the
damage occurred had been all the way
from $25 to $50 daily, dwindled down to
81 per diem, and as consequence the
restaurateurs had to close up shop and
sell their fixtures for $125. For this
they demand $1,000 damages. The case
will take all of today before it is con-
cluded.

CLOSING In ON HIM.
THE DEFENSE IN THE DAMRON CASE
so FAR VERY WEAK.
Some Testimony as to Damron's Hand
writing-His Wife Takes the Stand-No-
thing New Developed So Far-Experts
Give Their Opinion.

The defense in the Damron case yes
terday opened up in department one, by
a modest motion to strike out nearly all
the evidence introduced by the prosecu-
ton. The matter was argued, and the
motion denied by the court.
Court Clerk Grain was called as the
first witness for the defense, and he
stated that he had seen Damron write
his name on The slip of paper presented
to him, but ne had not kept track of it
two minutes from the time he saw Dam
ron sign it until it was returned to him.
S. M. White swore that it was the
same paper.
In the afternoon, G. Worth, broker,
testified that he had written some of the
tests submitted the day before yester-
day to the experts, and that Damron
had written the others. This shows
that they had been written for the pur-
pose of causing confusion and embarrass-
ment to the witnesses for the prosecu-
ton.
Mrs. j. M. Damron, wife of the de-
fendant, was shown a number of papers
written by her husband. She did not
think that the signature of E. T. Wright
had been written by her husband. On
cross-examination, she was shown peo-
ple's exhibits +, an affidavit, and e..
These she believed to be the writing of
Damron. Later on she said that she had
no idea as to who wrote the affidavit
filed as exhibit F, although the writing
closely resembled her husbands.
George Dubois, stenographer, vino
had been in defendants employ, said he
was familiar with his handwriting. In
his opinion the f. T. Wright signature
had not been forged by Damron, but ex-
hibit f he thought to be in defendants
handwriting.
Other testimony of similar nature
was introduced, and the case went over
till this morning.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-11-12
ON A MAIN-STREET CAR.
~ Beg Your Pardon; Thought Was
Speaking to a Lady,"

Many amusing incidents happen dur
ing ride OH street car, and one day
recently an especial trip seemed fraught
with unusual interest, and gave the
student OF human nature an excellent
opportunity in which to pursue his
studies. The day was balmy, the air
was redolent with the fragrance of flow
ers-truly Main street, when the bust
ness portion is passed, is one long garden
and the car was comfortably filled with
well-dressed, ,self-satisfed looking people.
Among them were two ladies, one evi-
IDENTIFY resident of the city, the other a
stranger from the east who was being
shown the sights by her enthusiastic
friend. The exclamations of delight,
the superlatives, the little screams of
ecstatic surprise were amusing to the
other occupants of the car, most of whom
could not be otherwise than in harmony
with the fair sight-seers, for their pleas
ure was so real and their enjoyment so
infectious that it reused the same senti-
ments in the breasts of those not too
hardened or calloused with selhshness to
feel an inspiration from the pleasure of
others.
During the trip handsomely dressed
and rather arrogant looking-well, fe-
male, asked the driver, in naughty
tones, to stop when he came to Shaw
avenue, as she was not acquainted with
that locality. When the avenue (now
known as Twenty-ninth street) was
reached, the car stopped, and as the
ahem female made no move to rise, q
lady passenger who was alighting said
gracefully:
Pardon me, madame, but this is
Shaw avenue"
II didn't ask you; I asked the driver
1t is his business to tell me, not yours" !"
was the answ er in tones that would have
soured fresh milk.
II beg your PARDON" replied the lady
on the ground, II see / have made a
mistake. 1 thought was speaking to a
lady; will not make such mistake
again"
An audible smile from an appreciative
audience broke the silence as the lady
disappeared through a gateway in high
hedge which hides charming home just
opposite Twenty-ninth street.
The little incident was an unpleasant
feature in delightful ride, but it proved
the truth of the many old saws which
tend to teach that in all brightness
there is something of shadow, and that
the unpleasant side of humanity is too
often conspicuous on most uncalled-for
occasions. and it is very hard for natures
Of true worth to extend the mantle of
human charity over such instances of
glaring rudeness and uncouthness.

Notice to Landlords and Tenants Of Acre
Property.

Notice to Landlords and Tenants Of Acre
Property.
1t is conceded fact that the products
of our soil are the basis of our prosper
ity, and that it behooves us all to en-
courage the same in every possible way.
There were some improved farms in
our county last year lying idle, and
many tracts of land (some of which are
in our city limits) that for years have
not been titled, lying as waste land,
growing up in weeds, being neither a
profit to the owner nor ornamental to
the observer. The owner of such lands
would do far better to let some indus-
trious tenant have the same free of rent
or at such low rent as would encour-
age the tenant to improve and ornament
the same. would therefore suggest to
all land owners having such lands, if
they will send me the particulars and
their address, the same will be put on
bulletin board at my front door, free to
all, and that in no wise will | charge
either landlord or tenant for informa-
tion or bringing them together. men
ton this now before it is too late to put
such lands in cultivation. l desire to
suggest further to owners of vacant lots in
our city, when shrubbery and shade
trees are so cheap you can add largely
to the beauty of our city by such orna-
mentations at comparatively no expense,
and if you do not wish to be annoyed
with it let some near neighbor have the
use of it. A man in Pomona realized
$1,000 from nursery stock raised on
single lot. / raised this year 375 pump
kins on forty-foot lot

BRANDY AND PEPPERMINT
Were a Failure Because Sievert's s
Aorta Was Ruptured.

Aorta Was Ruptured.
Coroner Weldon held an inquest yes
terday upon the body of Hermann Sic
vert, native of Germany, 60 years of
age, who died suddenly on Monday
evening at his residence No. 622 Also
street, from heart disease.
From the testimony taken at the Off
cial enquiry into the cause of Sievert's
death, it was learned that he and his
brother had boen out in the country
plying their trade as peddlers during the
day, returning to town about O'Clock
in the evening. On reaching his home
Sievert sat down to the evening meal at
the kitchen table, and after his wife had
warmed some beer, he drank
about pint of the beverage,
but at once complained of a
feeling of dizziness and leaned his head
upon the table. He remained in this at
titude so long as to alarm his wife, who
found that she was unable to rouse him
from his apparent stupor. With the as
sistance of her brother-in-law she put
her husband to bed and piled him with
brandy and peppermint, but her efforts
were fruitless, and a German physician
who had been summoned pronounced
the patient beyond the reach of human
skill.
A post mortem examination was
made by the coroner, who stated it as
his opinion that the cause of Sievert' s
death was rupture of the heart and
aorta. The only external mark of vio-
lence was confusion under the left eye,
which William Sieveat explained by
saving that he had thrown a whip to his
brother while they were out driving, and
the butt end accidentally struck him
and caused discoloration.
The jury returned verdict of death
from natural causes.

THE REFORMERS,
They Exclude Reporters from Their
Consultations

They Exclude Reporters from Their
Consultations.
The committee of one hundred Of the
municipal reform association met on
Monday evening. and for reasons best
known to themselves, excluded all repre-
sentatives of the daily papers. A report of
the business done, written by member
OF the committee, was furnished to the
papers, but reached the HERALD too
late for publication in yesterdays issue.
The only information the public is given
OF the matter comes entirely from the
point of view of the members of the
committee, and has no other value. The
necessity OF preventing an impartial re-
port of a meeting, alleged to be in the
interest of the people, may be apparent
to the promoters of this affair.
A number of resolutions were adopted,
and President w. +. F.Bosbyshell was en-
powered to appoint a committee of two,
one Republican and Ione Democrat, from
each ward and two at large, to interview
the absent members of the committee of
one hundred and report the names of
those unwilling or unable to serve, and
suggest the names to fill vacancies. The
following were selected:
First ward-W.A "A. Kennedy, A. Cherry
Second ward--J. T. Steward, Thomas

The ex-Court Clerk Begins His Legal
Ordeal

Henry Edelman, formerly deputy
county clerk under G. Fl. Dunsmoor,
and court clerk of department one, is on

fraudulently presented to the county
treasurer jurors claim, in the name of
F. A. Bliss, for $64. and received that
amount. The information further
the term trial panel, and no one OF the
name of Bliss was entitled to jury fees.
The case was continued from the morn
