READERS WILL KICK.
NO MONEY TO PAY LIBRARY Ex-
PENSES.
If an Appropriation Cannot Be Had the
Book Shop Will Have to Be CLOSED.
The Situation in Detail.

There is lively prospect of the pub.
lie free library OF Los Angeles suspend
ing operations and shutting its doors
AS there were some 81 900 residents ol
the city who availed themselves of this
free and beneficial institution of the
city government there will doubtless be
considerable clamor there anent.
The trouble with the library at pres-
ent is the lack of funds for running ex-
penses, and in this particular DEPART
ment of the municipal government the
laborers are worthy of their hire. At
the last meeting of the council the board
OF directors of the library sent in a re-
quest to the council for $500, for the
actual running expenses OF the institu-
tion until the end of the fiscal wear.
That request was referred to the finance
committee, and there is apparently no
money on hand in the funds available
for the purpose.
1t was thought that the money might
be drawn from the cash fund, but there
are only $29 900 to the credit of that
fnnd tor the general expenses of the city
until August l. AS the general ex-
Pouo0o u ouo municipality average $lZ,-
600 per month, there is no prospect OF
transferring any money from that fund
for the benefit of the library, and when
the small amount still remaining to the
credit OF the library has been expended,
nothing remains to be done but to let
the employees 60 and shut up shop un-
til the end of the fiscal year.
There were $4,000 in the fund last year
when the new appropriation of $4,000
was made available, but the growth of
the patrons of the library during the
year has been something phenomenal !;
in fact Los Angeles has more patrons
per capita for her library than any city
in America. The growth in number OF
patrons in one year has been from
$4,000 to 81 900. The library board were
sliced down $4,000 on their appropriation
last year by council, and the shortage
will virtually amount to that sum. At
the same time the enormous increase in
the library patrons from IL, 900 to 81 900
had not been taken into consideration
by the directors. If the library is co om-
PEELED to suspend operations until the
new appropriation is available in August
there will doubtless be good deal of
kicking.

CHINAMEN BATTERED.
The Weird Story Of Abuse Told by
Charley Sing.

The Weird Story Of Abuse Told by
Charley Sing.
A complaint was issued by Justice
Austin yesterday afternoon against a
Mexican and white man, whose names
were unknown. The complainant, a
Chinese gardener named Charley Sing,
accuses the defendants of an unpro-
voked and unwarranted attack on him
self and two other Cinnamon, at their
place near Vernon.
Sing rented eighty acres of land and is
cultivating it. Five acres was after
wards given up and taken by a man for
whom the defendants are working.
There was some question about road
way, which was closed up, and,
according to the Chinamens' story, they
were attacked by the men yesterday
without any reason, as they were pass
ing by.
One of the Cinnamon was badly
bunged from the blows of shovel han
die, and is now in bed. Another China
man was hit over the shoulder blade
and injured severely. They claim they
did nothing whatever to provoke the
attack, but that because they were
Cinnamon the men thought they could
abuse them with impunity.

DIEGO ON THE STAND.

He Denies the Charge of Rape-"Good-
bye, God Be With You."
The defense continued producing wit
nesses in the rape case against Diego
Tapia, on trial before Judge Williams of
the superior court yesterday.
Among the witnesses examined were
Maria de Soto, the prosecutrix, Ramon
Periga, Sino Urquadez, Francisco Rioas.
Macedoin Soto. Macaf1a Tapia, who some
time ago was sentenced to San Quentin
for the same ofense, and the defendant,
Diego Tapis.
An attempt was made to show that a
bitter quarrel between Miguel de Soto,
husband of the prosecuting witness, and
the defendant Tapia had existed. When
the latter was put on the stand he testi-
fed that Miguel and his wife Maria
came over to his camp the morning
after the alleged assault took place. He
assisted them to pack up their fixtures,
and held the mustang while they
loaded it. When they left they said
Goodbye and God be with you," and
no word was said by them of an assault.

EACH HAD A JAG.
A SPOOK SCARE WHICH SERGEANT
MORTON EXPLAINED.
Mother and Daughter on Toot-Their
WhOOps in Cemetery Alarm
Their Neighbors.

There was party in and about the
old cemetery on Sand street, near the
high school building, night before last
which occasioned considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood, and came
near resulting in some arrests. Ser
geant Morton was found during the
evening by an excited individual who
told that there had either been MUIR
der committed in the cemetery, or that
foul play of some kind was going on
there, and asked him to see about it.
The sergeant went at once to the scene,
and found various people standing
around taking about unearthly cries
which they thought came from uncanny
sources. The proximity of the cemetery
gave an air of plausibility to the fears Of
the neighbors, and the officer gripped
himself with an atheistical grip to pene-
trate the darkness Of the ancient bury
ing ground.
He caught glimpse Of feeting forms
as he went upon his trip of discovery
and amidst the fitting figures discovered
some with female drapery about them.
He caught up with one of them and
found woman who had passed the age
of extreme youth, and who had we'll
developed jag. She told him that
she was waiting for her daughter
and had no recollection of
having done anything to stir up the
neighborhood. The conversation lasted
some little time. and the woman started
away to meet. her daughter. She was
admonished by Sergeant Morton to keep
within the bounds of the law. if not of
propriety, and went upon her way with
a very uncertain step.
Further investigation revealed the
fact that during the evening the woman.
with her daughter, a young woman
18 years old, had visited beer saloon
with musical attachments in the even
ing, where the girl had become slightly
intoxicated. They left the saloon and
went up Buena Vista street, reaching
the cemetery from that direction. The
girl grew very much excited from the
drinks she had taken and screeched in
very loud style. 1t was her cries which
had attracted the attention of the peo-
pie living in the vicinity. 1t is the pur-
pose of the officers to arrest the mother
and daughter if they are found exhibit
ing themselves in an unusual manner in
the future.

THE PLANS COMPLETED.
Dockweiler's Outfall Sewer
Route.
Claimed as the Straightest and the
Cheapest Route.
>The Plana VIII Be Used in Evidence In
the Right of Way Sultan Out Inc
of the Merits Claimed.

City Engineer Dockweiler has com
pleted the plan for the new outfal
sewer from Los Angeles to the sea. and
about the first use of the plans will be
to submit them in evidence in the suiI
for right OF way brought by the city
against Mr.. Dan Freeman. This suit
will come up for trial on Tuesday next
before Judge Van Dyke of the superior
court.
The new line for the proposed outfall
sewer, according to its promoters, is no t
only the shortest, but the cheapest that
has yet been considered. According to
the estimates which have been prepared
by City Engineer Dockweiler it will cost
$350,000 and will have diameter of
forty inches, the sewer being sufficient
to care for the sewage of the city for
the next twenty years. The total fall
from the bottom of the sewer, which
will start at the corner of
Grand avenue and Second street,
to the level of the sea will be 1870
feet. There are three lateral sewers
provided for in the plan, and these are
designed to irrigate an immense stretch
VI tcIIltOIy SOubtl VI tuO Oubtdll bcW6T III
the Centinela ranch, territory which
now is practically barren land. Another
point about the line is that it will dis
charge the sewage, when not required
for irrigation. into the ocean at point
about equi-distant between Redondo
and Santa Monica, thus overcoming the
objection of interfering with the bath
ing resorts on the coast.
The necessity for an outfall sewer is
evident to all when it is known that
without it the system of sewers con-
structed in the city at cost of $3.50, 900
will be practically useless, said
system having been constructed
with an outfall sewer directly
in view. The three sewer routes orig
inally made to the sea were the river
route, 20.5 miles long and estimated to
cost 81 ,035 800; this line would dis
charge the sewage in dead water, near
Long Beach. The second line was the
La Ballona route, 1874 miles long, to cost
$696,775, which would discharge the
sewage in the harbor near Santa Monica,
and did not cover territory available for
irrigation purposes. The third line, or
original Centinela route, was estimated
to cost $737 400, and the argument
against it was that it was OF size
sufficient to cover the needs of the
city for the next fifty years and the
present generation of taxpayers were
not inclined to make auch long draft
on the future. The new line, however,
costing only $3.50, 900 will be amply suf-
ficient to cover the sewage require
ments Of Los Angeles for twenty years,
and the shortest line which has vet
been made. All the points are Of course
subject to the result of the right of way
suit, as Mr.. Freeman may be able to
show quite the opposite of the merits
claimed when the case comes to trial.
The right of way proceedings of the
city in the superior court next Tuesday
will doubtless be watched with great
degree of interest, as it is known that
Mr.. Freeman has some strong argu-
mepts to advance against the route, and
against the crossing Of his property.
