THERE is no more emphatic indication
of the extent to which Los Angeles is
filling up than the facts connected with
the school census which the board OF
education has been obliged to make in
formally. Yesterday the HERALD con-
tanned an article referring to the gross
inadequacy of the accommodations at
the Castelar-street school. AS matter
of fact, if the information given us by a
member of the board is correct, there is
nobody greatly to blame in this special
instance. He says that the body of
which he is member had calculated
upon diminution in the school attend
ance in that district. Instead, however,
there was marked increase, while the
increase for the city at large is quite one
thousand. In other words, our popula-
ton is growing at the boom rate of 1856
SO. Nothing could tell more plainly the
tale of the remarkable development of
this city during the past few months
than this fact.

the other day with the announcement that
her husband was lost. They were coming
down town from the depot and had got off
at Fourteenth street by mistake, and while
he was looking around for his bearings he
had wandered away. The officer suggested
that she go to hotel, but after thinking it
over for awhile she replied:
mo, guess I'll stay right here for
awhile longer. Pm expecting to hear him

THE RAYMOND CASE DETERMINED.

The supreme court in banc yesterday
decided the case of Raymond, the recall
citrant witness, who refused to testify
before the grand jury impaneled in
San Francisco, on the ground that it
was not grand jury, and, therefore, in
competent to subpoena him. The court
does not dispose of the question of the
legality of that body, but it does as
sert the fact that Judge Wallace is a
Judge of competent jurisdiction, and that
neither the witness Raymond, nor any
other witness, has a right to question
the right of grand jury with color of
authority to call before it any witness it
may desire to examine. Chute, Hay
mond and the rest may as well step up
to the captains Office and settle, and
throw themselves upon the mercy of
the court to keep their bodies out Of
prison bars.
1t was clearly outlined by the lawyers,
and the fact was generally accepted by
laymen, that the only person who could
really raise the question of the legality
of the grand jury was some unfortunate
supposititious malefactor who should
have been indicted for high crimes and
misdemeanors.
The decision of the supreme court set
ties the fact that Chute, Gage and the
rest will have to face the grand jury.
They may decline to answer interroga-
tories when thus confronted, but they
can only do so by pleading the imme-
mortal rule of the English common law,
which permits any man to decline to
criminate himself. The whole fight has
turned upon the desire of Chute, Gage
and their companeros to avoid this
melancholy dernier resort of saying, II
will not criminate myself, and the law
does not compel me to-"
1t is, of course, unfortunate that the
whole question could not have been de-
termined at once. But neither the
supreme court OF California nor any
other tribunal can anticipate events, or
create causes of action which will admit
of defnitive determination. The
province VI COuTb rs W u0bSIIulllC d
mooted question when it shall come
before it, and it is now very appar-
emit that this issue will only arise
when the grand jury created jointly
by the Sheriff and Judge Wallace's
elisor shall indict somebody. Such an
indictment will at once be made the
medium of extracting the authoritative
views OF our court of last resort. This
is by no means the first time that the
laws delays have been the cause OF irri-
tation. They were wont to disgruntle
people in Hamlet's time and before, and
they will probably continue to make
people perspire indignation till the
crack of doom. Meanwhile the San
Francisco grand jury has its cue, and it
would do well to press the most fragrant
case before it to the sticking place of in
dictment, and thus extract from the SUI
preme court a judgment on the merits.

WHAT is the use OF beating around the
bush about the purchase of postofice
site in San Francisco for 81 ,040,0 that
is only worth 100000 at the very ut
most? 1t is plain steal and nothing
else. Here is the thing formulated in
nutshell; eff lot on Market street,
assessed at 81, $1,000, can be had for
81, 250, 900, should the government pay
81 ,O40, 900 for one on Mission street
assessed at $246, 0S3.50, inclusive of the
so per cent. increase added by the state
board of equalization If the govern
ment closes this bargain and pays over
twice as much for the lot as it is worth.
it becomes pGrticeps criminis with the
thieves who are engineering the steal.
But we are not obliged to make any re-
fined verbal definitions of this job. 1t
is summed up in the words that it is a
bald, palpable robbery, and the govern
ment, as we'll as everybody else, knows
it. The theft of $50 is grand larceny in
this state. This crime is therefore equal
to 1000 grand larcenies.

1t seems that the word gentleman" is
subject, in one country at least, to the
misconceptions so frequently attendant on
the hardly used term ''lady." The author
of "a Colonial Tramp" gives the follow.
ing instance of such an absurd and mis-
taken phrasing:
When we were at Port Said, in passing
down one of the side streets we missed our
little guide for moment, and as he had
our parcels we looked round to see if he
had not run off with them. Upon that we
became aware of a dark, evil looking and
dirty half caste of some kind, cutting him
about at an alley corner. We turned to
give assistance to our little friend, and the
bully left off and shuffled once more into
shadow.
Is that your father?" l asked, guessing
at the fact for the reason that the boy had
not resisted very much, and now shook
himself together without offering any ex-

MORRISON SAVED.
A Complaint Knocked Out on a Tech
nicality.

A Complaint Knocked Out on a Tech
nicality.
J. B. Morrison was taken before
United States Commissioner Van Dyke,
Yesterday, for examination on charge
of impersonating an officer, and on mo-
ton of counsel for the defendant the
charge was dismissed.
1t is alleged that Morrison represented
himself to an aged man named John
Scott as a deputy United States
marshal, and that he confined Scott in
room and obtained money from him.
Morrison escaped on technicality.
The complaint was made on information
and belief, and was unsupported by aft
davit as to the grounds of the atlantis
information and belief. The defend
ants counsel based his motion on the
ground that the complaint was defective
and the commissioner held the objec-
ton well taken.
There will be no further proceedings
taken against Morrison, there being no
evidence in the hands of the authorities
that he represented himself to be dep
uty marshal for the purpose of obtain
ing money. 1t is no offense Tor a person
to personate United States officer I'M
less he attempts to defraud another by
means of his supposed authority.

THREE TIMELY vEToEs.

Mayor Hazard yesterday sent in vetoes
of three ordinances. Two of these are
of general Importance, and one takes
departure in relation to the erection of
poles and stringing overhead wires in
the street, that should have been made
long ago. The mayor calls attention to
the fact that the ordinance vetoed gives
to the applicants the right to erect and
maintain poles and overhead wires for
twenty-five years, thus giving away the
the carrying OF wires by underground
conduits when the proper time comes.
1t is better late than never, and we are
glad that the mayor has brought this
matter conspicuously to the notice OF
the council and the public by his veto.
In all the large eastern cities, overhead
wires are being successfully put under
ground, and Los Angeles should at least
carefully reserve all her rights in this
respect.
The other veto is that of the Cross
electric railroad Mr.. Cross was very
| tenacious of securing the right to use the
Macy-street bridge for his tracks. AS
this is structure which belongs to the
city, and which would be rendered al
most, if not absolutely, useless for the
purpose for which it is now used and for
which it was originally built, if rail
road is to cross it, the mayor is right to
insist upon the ordinance being so clear
ly framed that there can be no miscon-
struction of its provisions which would
raise a doubt as to whether the Cross
road could not under it still enforce a
right to the use of the bridge. The
equivocal language quoted by the mayor
certainly leaves the ordinance open to
this construction, and if there is no in
tention that the bridge should be re-
signed to the railroad, then this fact
should be plainly and unequivocally set
forth in the ordinance. There should
be no double or covert meanings in
these instruments, and it is easier to
correct them when on their passage than
to try to clarity them in the courts after
wards.
The third veto is also based on the
lack of defniteness of statement in i'm
portant passages in the ordinance. The
public will feel grateful to the mayor for
his careful scrutiny Of these important
ordinances.

THE SHORE CASE.
The Arguments to Occupy the Session
Today.

Today.
All of yesterdays session of Judge
Van Dykes court was taken up with ar
gument in the Field-Shorb contest. Mr..
Munroe resumed his speech yesterday
morning and was followed by Mr.. Percy
r. Wilson, of defendants counsel, who
spoke until noon. At 2 O'Clock Hon.
Stephen M. White began the closing
argument for the defendants and had
not concluded his address when court
adjourned for the day. Col. G. Wiley
Wells will follow Mr.. White and the
case will then be given to the jury.
This sensational suit has attracted a
great amount OF attention and attorneys
are considerably interested in it, not
merely on account of the large sum of
money involved but because of the legal
points involved. In the arguments Of
counsel every word of conflicting testi-
mony has been discussed and the intri-
cate questions of law touched upon
Opinion as to the outcome is very con-
tiicting. H.

Music of the Spheres.

The origi> of this everyday phrase is
sufficiently interesting to even bear re-
telling to those that already know it.
Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher, while
experimenting on the vibrations of tight
drawn strings, discovered that strings of
certain lengths produced certain notes.
He then illogically connected the seven
planets known at that time with musical
notes for the reason merely that the
radii of the seven spheres, in which, &C.
cording to then existing notions, the
planets were set, were of unequal length
and therefore q produced different notes.
These notes he dubbed the Emusic of the
spheres" This music was not supposed
to be caused by the friction of the spheres
in the sockets in which they were set, as
is now currently thought, but was pro-
duced by the vibrations of their UNEQUAL
radii.-New York Recorder.
Los Angeles herald. [volume] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1890-1893, 1891-10-16
The Airs Transparency.

Unlike fog, haze commonly occurs
during an unusually dry state of the
lower stratum of air. In considering
it's cause, it has been suggested that the
small quantity of nontransparent matter
required to produce the dimming effect
should always be borne in mind. If the
eye can observe the change that comes
over drop of water when the fifty mil
lionth of gram of fuchsine is intro
duced, possibly weight of water or
dust not much greater would suffice for
visi bility in column of air 1000 feet
long. The air is at all times charged
with dust particles to degree difficult
to realize.
The purest air tested by Mr.. Atkins
when making his measurements on the
top of Ben Nevis contained about "a, 900
dust particles to each cubic inch, which
would give 35 1882, 900 particles to every
cubic foot, or 1925, 900, 900 to hori-
zontal column of 1000 feet. This being
the case, it is manifest that a condensa-
ton upon small proportion of these or
momentary adhesion by electric attrac-
ton would suffice to produce the optical
effect called ''haze" or ''haziness. st.

IT WILL be remembered that Mr..
Leeds, whom the business men of San
Francisco have selected to take charge
of their freight controversies with the
Overland Railroad Traffic association,
was for many years the traffic manager
of Jay Gould, who was compelled to
dismiss him because he had violated the
rules of the association in bidding for
business for Gould's system. The asso-
citation had Gould in hole. He had
just insisted upon the dismissal of an
other company's agent for similar
dereliction, when the association sprung
the same charge upon Leeds, and Gould
had to let him go. Leeds is, probably
the best man the San Francisco mer
chants could select, and as he has init
mated that he will accept the position
with the $4,000 salary attached, We
shall soon see what virtue there is in
this mode of meeting the traffic associa
ton of the combined railroads.
Los Angeles herald. [volume] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1890-1893, 1891-10-16

THE San Francisco Call says that
"when our delegation asks for a fair
appropriation flor buildingl it will be
discouraging to be met with an allusion
to the fact that 100000 site had been
sold to the government for $1,040,000"
No doubt it will be discouraging. But
as to what the effect will be on congress
it is hard to cay. So barefaced steal
would justify congress in refusing to
vote further appropriation OF a single
dollar. Yet if we should Judge of the
moral tone of the average congress by
the many glazing rascalities it either
oyerlooks, laughs at or condones, San
Francisco may not look for very hard
treatment. The treatment Los Angeles
has received, in comparison to what has
been done for San Francisco, is humili-
atine. In our case citizens paid $56, 900
for the lot selected for federal build
ing. and sold it to the government for
$28. 900. We were not only honest but
liberal. What was our reward? A
structure that will cost about $4,000,
and 60 inadequate in size, not alone for
the postofice, but for all the federal
