A REPUBLICAN MEASURE.
THE TELEPHONE ASSESSMENT RE
DUCED BY THAT PARTY.
Councilman McGarry Replies to Council
man Rees's Statement = The
Cold Facts in the Case
and the Figures.

The action of the five Republican
members of the city council in reduc-
ing the assessment of the Sunset Tele-
phone and Telegraph company over
$4,000, is being adversely COM
mented upon by the taxpayers
of the city. City Assessor R. J.
Hinton, who is also a Republican,
claims that the assessment he origanlly
made was fair and equitable, and he
does not think that the five Republi-
can members of the council were iusti-
fed in reducing it. 1t Was done at the
behest of Senator r. B. Carpenter of
San Francisco, who represents Los An
geles county district in the state SEN
ate, and who is also an attorney of the
Sunset Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany.
Samuel Rees, one of the councilmen
who voted to reduce the assessment, at
tempts to defend his action. In reply,
Councilman McGarry asks him a
pointed question, which he can aswer if
he desires. Mr.. McGarry sends the HER
AID the following card:
EDITORS HERALD: In today's issue
Councilman Rees makes q few state
ments entirely misleading to the aver
age taxpayer, in regard to the
reduction of the recent assess
ment of the telephone company. The
amount reduced by the council in the
first place, on telephones, was $16 $50, or
an advance from the previous year of $40
per box but this was reduction of $15
per box on the assessment as proposed
by the city assessor. Will Mr.. Rees
deny that he fought for and obtained an
additional $16,S30 reduction on wires, or
a total reduction of $33, $50? This js
the whole thing in nutshell, and NO
amount of denial on other points can
cover this fact. Ivoted to assess the
telephone company $50 per box, in
preference to $50 per box, as thought
it was right, and still think 80. Yours
respectfully, D. M. McGARRY.
The cold facts are that the telephone
company's assessment was reduced
$33 $3.50, at the demand of Judge Car
penter, a Republican boss, and over the
protest of every Democratic member of
the city council.

with it. He dropped the bar,
and struck her in the face
twice with his clenched fist, raising a
lump on her cheek. Mrs. Turney threw
pair Of shoes at. him, and then went
away to summon Mr.. Turney. Blatt-
ner had no attorney, and Justice Austin
examined the witnesses himself. After
the defendant made statement, and
admitted having struck Mrs. Turney, he
was found guilty, and will be sentenced
today.
A somewhat unusual disturbance Of
the peace came before Justice Austin
for trial yesterday afternoon. A poor
old Mexican woman named Mrs. Mary
Walker was tried upon the charge men
toned. She lives in East Los Angeles,
on Mozart street, and number of her
neighbors were in court as witnesses
Several of these are Prohibitionists,
and, unfortunately for the old lady, she
is not. The particular occurrence
which led to her arrest happened last
Tuesday. She was shouting around her
house nearly all the morning and part
of the afternoon. and finally, while out
in the street, half clad, was arrested by
Officer Robinson. Horace Appel de-
Tended the old lady, who is 80 years of
age, and attempted, by nagging tactics,
to make it appear that the neighbors
have long wished to get rid of Mrs.
Walker, and that the arrest was con-
spiracy to drive her away. Justice Aus
tin, however, found her guilty, and will
sentence her today.

Unable to Enforce His
Matrimonial Rules

]. J. Albertus was in the city yester-
day, and was looking for his wife, who
left him at San Diego Wednesday. AL
bertus is the man who has an art
scheme, by which he makes cheap por-
traits. He married his wife in Texas,
and she is quite pretty woman, besides
having a snug bank account. Albertus
was looking all about the city yesterday
for his trusnt life partner. Having
heard that she had gone to the Hotel
jackson, in this city, he telegraphed to
have her detained, but she was not
there when he went there. He was in
conference with Chief Glass yesterday
morning, but just what assistance the
police can render the Respondent artist
it is hard to find out.
Albertus sent curious telegram ask
ing for his wife's detention. In it he
stated that che is insane, and it was on
that ground that he asked for her de-
tention. Detective Bosqui visited the
Hotel Jackson soon after the receipt OF
the telegram, but Mrs. Albertus had
left. She had been there, and inquiries
of the landlady were to the effect that
the lady showed no signs of insanity
while there.

Late yesterday afternoon Justice Aus
tin tried battery case, in which Greg
ory Blattner, little shoemaker, who
has shop on East First street, was
charged with striking Mrs. Charles
Turney. Wednesday evening, the shoe
maker sent man to Mrs. Turney's
house, which is close by. The man had
asked him to tell him where he could
find some girls. Pursuant to directions,
the man called at the house, and was
sent away with an indignant protest
from Mrs. Turney, who found out from
him 1t was Rlattner who sent him. She
went to Blattner's shop, and asked him
what he meant by his actions. He
hemmed and hawed, and said he thought
1t was all right. Mrs. Turney became
excited. and told him she would whip
him herself, even if she was q woman,
if he ever did such thing again. The
German became excited also, and showed
her out of his shop, slamming the door
in her face. Mrs. Turney stepped to
his window, and admonished him again.

tions for space for exhibits are already
coming in to Superintendent Virgins at

Two crop statements were filed with
Secretary Willard yesterday. One was
from E. Bandle, of Burbank, who had
planted three acres of sandy loan with
White Burbank potatoes. From this
piece OF land he harvested 900 sacks of
potatoes, which he sold for 5000. The
cost OF production was $500, leaving q
net profit of 5000, or 5000 to the acre.
No irrigation was found necessary.
Forty of these potatoes made one
bushel,
The second statement was from S. r.
Thorp, of Ventura, who harvested forty
acres of 10-year-old apricot trees. The
total yield was 100000 pounds, and he
sold from this quantity sixty tons of
dried fruit for $4,000. The land was of
the game quality as the above, and irri-
cation was used. The cost of production
was not stated. This yield indicated an
increase of rs per cent over former
years.

he was called on to pay his fine. He
could not, and was jailed. He sought

A BRITISH PREcoNCEPr1oN.

The remark of an English Journal is
quoted in the press of this country, that
Buffalo Bill ''has done more to popularize
America in the minds of the general
British public than any one or fifty Ameri-
cans that could be mentioned.
This an American cotemporary thinks
to be trough on the fellows who parade
their wealth and offensive Americanisms at
the doors of English society seeking ad-
mission" If it were true, it would be
rougher on the taste and discrimination of
the British public. Without trying to
estimate the contact which the British
public has had with thousands Of Ameri-
cans Of intelligence travelling in England,
it is easy to speak of some prominent peo-
pie in the connection given above. In
ante-war times English society had an
opportunity to estimate the American
character from such men as Washington
Irving, Emerson, Halleck, Story and Powers.
Later visitors to English society In
clude the elder Charles Francis Adams,
Henry Ward Beecher, James Rus
sell Lowell and U. S. Grant The
list could be extended indefinitely
but the names are enough to suggest that
if England prefers the Buffalo Bill style
to the intelligence, culture and civilization
of the real American the conclusion is
much more severe on the English taste
than on the American character.
The fact is that Buffalo Bill does not
popularize America at all. He popular
izes preconceived and erroneous idea of
America. We all like to have our imag-
mary ideas presented in concrete shape
We love the stage Irishman, although he
is generally unknown in real life. So the
English people, conceiving America to be
made up of cowboys, Indians and stage
fights, love to see the representation of it,
Just as the United States did, to the great
part of which it was as foreign as it is to
England.
But it takes remarkable ignorance of
the real American to suppose that show
of this class spreads popular idea Of
American life or character

SHOULD BE UP FOR CONTEMPT.

Since the expression of profane con.
tempt for the public by one of the older
Vanderbits some years ago no deliverance
of that type so likely to become historical
has been made as that of President Nc
Leod, of the Reading Railroad Company,
when he heard of Chancellor McGill's de-
cision against his big deal. Speaking of
the solemn deliverance of one of the high.
est courts in the country, he is reported,
and so far has not denied, to have sum-
married. the situation thus: "The decision
will have as much effect as if the injunc-
ton were directed against the Sioux In
dams"
The whole country would have reason
to rejoice if Chancellor McGill were to
find means to lay Mcleod by the heels
for contempt of court. However able he
may be as railroad manager, he is but a
dangerous fool to be entrusted with cor
porate power until he is taught the lesson
that everyone must respect and obey the
laws in this country.
