A SERIOUS CHARGE.
ABRAM AGUILLAR ARRESTED AT
FULLERTON.
The Complaint Charges Him with
Sending Obscene Matter Through
tho United States
Malls.

Abram Aguillar, vino was arrested at
Fullerton for sending an obscene letter
through the mails, was taken before
Commissioner Van Dyke yesterday and
held in $1,000 bail to appear for examin-
alton today at 2 o'clock.
The letter in question was mailed at
Fullerton to Mrs. r, Silvas, 222 Kurhts
street, East Los Angeles.
Mrs. Silvas is the mother-in-law of
Aguillar. The letter was written in
Spanish.
Aguillar was married to daughter OF
Mrs. Silvas only few months ago. He
claims that nine days after the mar
riage his wife came up from Anaheim,
where they resided, to attend the cele-
bration of Mexican independence. She
promised to return on the following
Sunday, but did not.
Aguillsr came to the city and found
his wife,. She refused to return with
him. Aguillsr claims that the separs.
tion was caused by another man.
Just why the letter wae written he
claims he does not know. He says he
can neither read nor write, and thinks
some one who knew of his trouble took
advantage Of him by sending the letter
to his mother-in-law.
The epistle is vulgar in the extreme.

THAT DEFECTIVE SEWER WORK,
The Sewer Committee Investi-
gates the Matter.
Contractors Mackey and Young Or
dered to Replace the Work.
TIL" g mmittee Holds . Lively Session.
Err. Mackcy's Position-A General
Testing of tho Work
Directed.

The faulty work found in the section
{ A of thu outfall sewer, through the
disclosures OF the four bricklayers, has
caused not only a sensation, butsmuch
trouble to those engaged upon the
sewer.
While the sewer committe thought
when the charges we're made that it was
q case of spite work, and while Con-
tractor Mackey insists that it was an at
tempt to blackmail him, the defects
were fond to exist, In the exact places
mentioned by the hricklavers.
The subject was taken up by the sewer
committee yesterday, Chairman Nickel
and Messrs. Munson and Strohn all be-
ing present, together with City Engineer
Dockweiller.
Contractor Mackey and Inspector
Morford we're in attendance and Chair
man Nickel explained to Mr.. Mackey
what had been asserted by the brick
layers. and what the committee had
found.
The section of the sewer referred to
for which Mackey & Young are con-
tratractors, contains considerable tun-
mel work, and it is in this work that the
defective work was found.
In order that clear idea may be or.
tanned OF just what the defects consist,
two diagrams are presented, which show
assction of the sewer constructed differ
emily from the specifications and one

SMITH ON NAAMAN.

The Evangelist Talks on the millionaire
Leper.
Mr.. Smith faced crowded house for
the third time this week when he arose
to address the meeting at the Y. M. G.
A. last night, but had the male popula-
tion of Los Angeles been able to fore
cast the musical treat in store in Mrs.
Auer's two exqu isite solos the capacity
of the hall would have been tested,
The evangelist's subject was Naaman,
the mighty general, the favorite of the
Syrian king, the rich, the honored, the
-leper. To all things under the sun
there ia drawback. The millionaire
envies the health of his poor gardener,
the peace of mind OF his poorer neigh
Dor, and the latter envy the millionaire
his riches. So Naaman's life had its
drawback. Naaman was leper. And
little Hebrew girl told him of q won
derful prophet OF God, who could heal
him, and the little girl was believed.
Why? What is it makes us doubt one
person and believe another? The char
acters they have built, stone by stone

ence to his statemehts. If man loses
his character tas men sometimes do)
the place to rebuild it is right where the
old character was shattered to ruins,
right in the same place and among the
same people.
The little girl was believed and
Naaman made the long journey to the
land OF the prophet and he carried gold
and fine raiment with him, and hoped
to buy the healing OF his leprosy from
the prophet. But when he came to the
prophet all his anticipations were upset.
Ills presents were refused; he was told

his doing the work this way, for it would
make saving OF 800.
Mr.. Nickell said he could not help ali
that. The defects existed and must be
remedied.
Mr.. Mackey agreed to- this and ex-
pressed himself as willing and anxious
TO remedy ali deiects. He also thought
it would be found only in the work done
by the bricklayers who had given the
information.
About this time Superintendent Vim
cent came in and eaid the committee
was reaping the reward of rushing the
work to completion in this critical por-
tion OF the work.
He was directed by the committee,
after cons iderable discussion. to proceed
at once to test the work by drilling into
it, or the manner that seemed to him
best, and ASCERTAIN whether any other
portions OF the contract have been badly
performed.
There are in all about one and one
half miles of tunnelirg on the entire
length of the outfall sewer, and the sec-
ton under discussion has quite long
stretch of it.
There ia no trouble about the miles OF
sewer along the ground where no tun-
neling has been done. 1t was not COW
cred up until after being thoroughly in
spected. The only part of the work
where any trouble is likely to exist at
all, 'is in the tunnels.
The committee expressed themselves
as very glad that this bad work was dis
covered in time, and that they are de-
termined to see that there is no more
like it. They also are determined to fix
the blame where it belongs. There is
no doubt that one OF the city inspectors
at leest has neglected his work, and that
is the subject which is now being sifted
When the guilty man is ascertained
his name will be given out for publica-
tion.
gang of engineers who had been
called in by the city engineer, owing to
the near completion of the sewer, were
ordered back to the sewer to be subject
to Mr.. Vincent in making the defecto
good found by the committee and any
others that may be found.
These discoveries will delay the final
completion OF the eewer beyond the
time 1t was expected to be finished.

neglected to ill in the sides and tops be-
tween the timbers ami the arch with
sand and dirt securely tanped, go that
the whole strain above the arch falls
equarely on the weakest spot.
These things were explained to Mr..
Mackey and he expressed utter be-
wilderment that such work could have
been done, and that he knew nothing
about it.
His attention was called to an asser-
ton bv the bricklayers that his partner,
Mr.. Young, had told them to go ahead
with the work as they did it, and he
would take the inspector away to the
office. They assert that Young did take
the inspector away, andsthat the latter
was drunk.
Mr.. Mackey said he did not believe
any euch thing about Mr.. Young, but
ne had not seen him, and could say
nothing until he had seen him.

This brought the question OF in
spectors, and Chairman Nickel stated
that the committee was in possession of
the name OF the inspector spoken of
by the informers. but had not yet set
tied the responsibility, and would give
out no names until that was done.
City Engineer Dock weller stated that
1T WAS an easy matter to tell what in
spector was on this work, as the daily
reports OF the inspectors give the mecca
sary Information. Just when aud where
each inspector was could be determined
from the reports.
MIR. Munson remarked that the dis
covery made necessitated thorough in
vestigation and testing of the work. He
did not believe it would be found that
there was any other work of this char
acter. but it was necessary for the com
mittee to put the question absolutely at
rest, by general testing of the work.
He thought it would be found that the
defective work was all upon the places
whore this one inspector was on duty,
but the committee must be absolutely
sure about it.
Mr.. Msckey was informed that he
must, at his own expense, replace the
defective work with work up to the
specifications, and at once.
The contractor replied that he would
willingly do SO. He would 20 immedi-
ately about it. He said one cause for
the trouble wac the way the work on
his section had been rushed. In order
to get 1t through in time he had put
extra men on; among them the men
who had given this information, and be
believed it to be put up job. He had
refused to allow himself to be black
mailed, when they had asked him to pay

iieved they had taken this means OF
revenge. There could be no object in

Citizens Appeal to the Supervisors on
Behalf of Los Angeles.
A committee of citizens, headed by
HI. Siegel, came before the board OF
supervisors yesterday afternoon, and
protested against an appropriation being
made for the Los Angeles exhibit at the
San Francisco midwinter fair.
They were of the opinion that the
only justification for such an appropria-

Action upon the matter was deferred

On Thursday evening the various stu
dios of the Los Angeles school of art and
design were crowded with a highly re-
spectacle audience going we'll into the
hundreds.
The life class and the amateur studios
had been joined to the general studio,
and all had been prettily decorated with
flowers and suitable draperies by the
students, who had also converted the
reception room into a most charming
retreat, every mich and corner made into
an attraction by valuable works of art,
flowers and suitable decorations.
Rev. j. G. Fletcher occupied the chair,
and after regretting the absence of Judge
Cheney and Mr.. Shirley Ward, COM
mented on several studies, sketches and
pictures exhibited, which he said re-
fected great credit on the school and on
the students.
He reminded the company OF the
very apparent improvement shown in
the work, in the number exhibiting and
on the fact that this term had COM
menced with considerably increased
attendance of students over any previous
year.
The audience was treated further by
the chairman to a scholarly and instruc-
tive though short address, after which
the following programme was gone
through, the various performers earning
we'll deserved plaudits:
Violin and piano--Miss James, Mr.. G-osser.
Song, FareWell-Prof. More.
Song, The Daisy-Miss Ethel Graham.
Piano sol1-ChSistine concert polka--Com-
posed and played by NJ. L. W. krousse.
Cornet and piano sonata-Mr. Rhodes and
Mr. Krousse.
The programme was purposely brief,
to allow the time for viewing the pic
lures and for social intercourse, which
consumed nearly the following two
hours.
The student committees we're: Music
Miss Christine Kurtz; decoration, Miss
Grosser and Miss Rogers; reception,
Mr.. L. Smith-and most excellently
they performed their duties.

sibly more numerous and fragrant in the lid
District than in other districts. but this notable
nresentment applies to the whole city. The
cheating was general and it was on large
scale.
The Grand Jury has not stated any new
facts a. to the election or made any new com
paint of the outrageous law under which It
was held but it deserves the most emphatic
ccmmendaiion for its frank and explicit de-
iyeIance upon the subject. The consequences
of the law were accurately predicted before
ifs passage by honest men ard journals of both
political parties and the measure was over
whelmingly condemned by popular sentiment
Ii was offensive to every decent instinct and
nobody ever pretended that it was inspired or
supported by any motive except partlSall>hip
of the rankest sort Not only was its operation
foIcseen but its purpose was clearly dIscerned
and declared And yet in the face OF srenu-
Gus opposition By honest Democrats and by the
whole Republican party it was forced through
the Legislature by the positive orders OF Tam
many Hall. The Democratic leaders in this
city had determined to possess the power OF
creating fraudulent majority and were deaf
TO every argument of justice and decency.
This is the truth about the Farquhar law, the
sinister purpose which it embodied and the in
fuence which procured its enactment. The
facts have been sncered at, but there has never
been an attempt to refute them.
The Grand Jury properly recommends the
repeal Of the law and the restoration OF the
fair and honest system which 1t supplanted.
But its recommendation will be CONTEMPORARY
rejected by Tammany. and therefore as mat
ter of c0ns, by the Legislature. Richard
Croker and his colleagues did not exert them
selves to secure the enactment OF this measure
last winter merely for the sake of one election.
1t was and is part Of the comprehensive scheme
for supplessing the Republican vote in this
state. which the Democratic machine has been
pcrfocting for several years. Another part OF
that scheme i disclosed in the bill now before
the Legislature requiring personal registration
of voters in rural Districts. No interference
with this plan for maintaining Democratic
supremacy will be tolerated by the remorscless
tvrants who now rule the State Of NcwI0rk.
In view of this fact perhaps il may be said that
the prcscntment of the Grand Jury is value
less But we protest against any such mclan-
cholv assumption a that. As said n the
outset. an honest and fearless Grand jury
