was suing Brown 4 Co., contractors, for
S25, 900 damages in causing the death
of the child. The jurors petiuoned to
have whisky and cigars sent into the jury
room, and, receiving no response from
the court decided To have some fun with
the Judge The roSr'' ."~dict ind.

verdict, administered terrific tongue
lashing to the jurors, dismissed them
in disgrace, and fined the nine chief cul-
prits to an amount equal to their fees.

AN income tax, says the Chicago
Herald, If honestly and strictly levied
and collected, is as fair as any tax can
be. 1t is n tax on possessions and not
on necessities. II is porportioned to the
ability Of men to pay and not to the
size of their families and the amount it
costs to support them. 1t is tax which
can be increased or diminished accord
ing to the needs of the Government.
without turning the markets topsy. turvy
and giving speculators a chance to make
millions in anticipation or in conse-
quence of increasing some custom House
tax or some excise tax, as, for instance
the tax on whisky. 1t ought to be
American to tax people ac-
cording to their ability to pay 1t
ought to be un-American TO tax
consumption and to put millions in
private pockets by changing or threat
ening to increase internal or tariff taxes.

Yesterday afternoon Attorneys Wells,
Monroe & Lee filed nine suits in the
county clerks Office against the South
ern California Railroad company, asking
for damages aggregating $53 ,250. The
suits are brought by the following prop
erty holders:
Andreas Daneri, M. Shirley, Geo. Pro-
best, Jane Manchester, Henry James, S.
Barbarena, L. L. Requett. F. M. Jami-
son and Barbara Ramiez.
The above parties all own and occupy
land in the San Antonio rancho, and
they allege that the defendant company
erected levee on the west side of the
Los Angeles river, in an effort to reclaim
certain lands lying along the above
stream, and that as a result in the rainy
season, and during high water in the
river, the water spreads out and covers
their land. Daneri in his complaint,
which may be taken as an illustration OF
the nine suits filed, claims that on De-
cember %, 1889, the river overfowed,
covering thirty acres OF land and wash
ing away seven acres of good soil, twen-
ty tons OF hay, etc., and doing damage
to the extent OF $4,000. In other actions
it is alleged that not only soil, but
houses, stock, poultry, fences, etc., were
washed away. The claims made against
the defendant company aggregate over
sos, 900.

A SEEMING CONFLICT.

A Question Raised as to a Judges
Power in Contempt Cases.
Amos Abbott, the absconding witness
in the suit of the People against George
Abbott, who was committed to jail for
200 days by Judge Smith, was taken be-
fore Judge Van Dyke on writ of habeas
corpus yesterday. G. G. Stephens ap-
peared for Abbott, and took the position
that under the law the learned Judge of
department one of the superior court
could not commit Abbott for contempt
of court for longer period than five
days. Judge Van Dyke remanded Alb.
bott to Jail, and stated that as there was
a seeming conflict in the statutes that
counsel for Abbott could take the mat
ter up to the supreme court, which will
be in session here next week.

THE KING.
A Little Fable Which Has a Large
Moral.

Moral.
lowing little tale:
An ex.equalizer, called Johnnie, and
chief having long travelled together in
peace and amity, CHANGED to meet at
wayside inn, and, having refreshed
themselves, began to compliment each
other; being of Italian descent, they
soon waxed warm.
'Since the days of Ananias," quoth
the chief, "the world has not seen your
equal, Gaffey."
''For single-handed, all-round de-
scendant of Sapphira," quoth the equal
izer, II greet you as my brother,
Moore;" and having again refreshed
themselves, they journeyed towards a
village hard by called Pasadena, and,
each being anxious to do the other
honor, boasted of one another's Prov
ess, until a governor chanced that
way, followed by billpotter from
San Gabriel canon. go to-" said
the governor, "you are but amateurs
beside u.s." and so, contending, the
quartette slowly journeyed westward.
and descending into valley saw large
number OF lies playing and gamboling
among the orange groves. No sooner
were the worthy four seen approaching
than the lies, swept by the soft south
wind. rapidly drew near, headed by a
dazzling light. "Cease your unman-
nerly quarreling," quoth the lies.
"Know you not that this light is a
'Jayhawker,' the king of us ALL" and
straightway the quartette bowed them
selves to the ground and covered their
diminished heads.
Moral: A prophet is not without
honor save in his own country.

THE POPULATION.
Figures Shown by the Work on the
New Directory.

The government census of late date
accorded to Los Angeles city about
81, 900 inhabitants. The United States
government is big thing, and the re-
suits of It's agencies or instrumentalities
ought to be considered correct. A city
directory honestly executed or prepared
is, however, probably the best index of
the actual population of any city, large
or small. Eastern people, and some
others who ought to know better, think
that since the ebb and flow OF the
"boom" Los Angeles has been losing
population or only holding her own.
The pew city directory does not show
any such real or alleged facts, but on
the contrary shows indispntable facts
that the contrary is the truth. Mr..
Maxwell. who is getting out the new
directory, furnishes to the HERALD some
important and statistical informa-
'tion that ought to be Interest,"
Los Angeles herald., 1892-04-02

ing reading. Comparing the matter
which has been carefully COM
piled up to the present time, of a few
letters, it is found that taking the letter
3d." there are found about $500 names
under that letter, which is nearly 300
names more than appeared in the di-
rectory of 1891. OF course there are
letters under which more names appear
than under letter "B." Taking one or
two or five letters as the basis of names,
it would indicate that Los Angeles has
about 10000 population more than when
the United States census was taken, or
say now 10000, which would really be
below the actual number within the
municipal limits. 1t should be remem-
bered that the directory of 1891 had
approximately 49, 900 names. The new
directory will have within few names
oil 27 900, or more accurately 26, 800.

PATCHED UP.
Minnie BarrOWs Released
From Custody.
C. A. BarrOws SwOre He Is Her
Husband.
Therefore He Could Not Testify
Against Her.
The Charge of Forgery Therefore Fell
to the Ground-The Proceed
ings in the Case Yes
terday.

Yesterday morning Justice Austin,
Deputy District Attorney Phibbs, Mrs.
Minnie P. Barrows and counsel, and a
stenographer went down to the Soldiers
home, near Santa Monica, to take the
testimony of G. A. Barrows in the for
gerry case against Mrs. Barrows. The
prosecuting witness wag found in very
weak state, and the only testimony
taken from him was the proof that he
and Minnie p. Hoagland were married
in August, 1890, in Turtle lake, Wis.
The fact that Mr.. Barrows and the de-
fendaht were married excluded
the husband from giving testimony
against the wife, and the court
returned to the city without case. As
soon as Justice Austin sat in his own
court, Deputy District Attorney Phibbs
moved discharge of the prisoner on
account of lack of evidence. The case
was thereupon dismissed.
One of the gentlemen who went down
to take Mr.. Barrows's testimony de-
clares it as his conviction that the whole
matter was caused by family quarrel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barrows separated some
time ago, and Mrs. Barrows, who is
her husband, took up her resi-.
dence in this city. The husband,
who was suffering from a severe illness,
then went to the Soldiers home. He
was suspicious that his wife might make
an attempt to raise money on his bank
account, and, few days ago. he wrote
the Los Angeles National bank for his
balance. 1t then turned out that Mrs.
Burrows had drawn $500, of which draft
the husband had no knowledge. He
therefore objected strongly, compelled
the bank to make his loss good, and
thus brought the matter to a crisis.
The technical point that he need not
testify against his lawful wife, has since
then been taken advantage of to clear
the fair defendant.
Detective Bosqui, who Investigated
the case and made the arrest, has been
to some extent wronged in the reports
of the affair. He denies that he desired
to squelch the story, and, on the other
hand, claims positively that he himself
energetically urged upon the district
attorneys Office to file complaint.
