Messrs. Mitchell and Johnston have
covered the Schlesinger losses with
property representing S1,25O,OOO. Mr..
Ferguson's end of the obligations is
not so well provided for. In the best
! days of his banking career Mr.. Fergu-
son was considered to be worth from
| 100000 10 $4,000. The receiver
states that his wealth was represented
in bank stock, which, with the failure
| Of his bank, was wiped out of existence.
Mr.. Ferguson today is not worth Il dol
lar outside Of his homestead. The re-
ceiver Is not figuring on realizing on
Mr.. EerguSOnS noe, only to show
just how the relations Of the officials
are to the bank. He thinks that with
the salvage of 100000 on the individ-
ual Schlesinger paper and the addl-
tional amounts that may be saved on
sheSe collateralS in the usual run of
business, the Ferguson end Of the OBJ
legations can be wiped out without
calling upon Messrs. Johnston ano
Mitchell to give the bank further aid

the original owners of the Chaplin mine
are suing for the recovery of the prop

merely leased it, and now the company

to have received $3SO,Oo0 year for ten

prospect that they will recover the

AT THE SIGN OF THE SKULL

A strange old tavern have l seen.
The walls are thick, the garden green.
'Tis damp and foul, yet through the door
Do rich men come as well as poor.
They come by night, and they come by day,
And never a guest is turned away.
The landlord, an unwholesome fellow,
Has a complexion white and yellow.
And though he looks exceedingly thin
Does nothing else but grin and grin
At all his guests, who, after awhile,
Begin to initiate his smile.
The guests are fearful sight to see,
Though some are people of high degree,
For no one asks when a carriage arrives
A decent account of the inmates lives,
But holy virgins and men Of sin
Sleep cheek by jowl in this careless inn
And beautiful youths in their strength and
pride
Have taken beds by leper's side,
But all sleep WELL and it never was said
That any kind of complaint was made.
For all the people who pass that way
Appear to intend heightened stay.
The house has singular bill of fare
Nothing dainty, nothing rare,
But only one dish, and that dish meat,
Which never a guest was known to eat
Night and day the meal goes on,
And the guests themselves are fed uponl
These merry guests are all Of them bound
To a land far off, but never found
That any one knew when no should start,
Or wished from this pleasant house to part
o strange old tavern, with garden greenl
In every town its walls are seen.
Now the question has often been asked Of me-
Is it really as bad as it seems to be?

TOM AND !.

The meadow, with its clover sweet
Stretched far To-. ore our view,
The daisies grew beneath our feet,
The hyacinths were blue.
/ saw o'erhead a merry band
OF purple swallows fly
When we walked through the meadow
land
Together, Tom and l.
The linnet piped amid the sedge,
The blackbird's notes were gay,
On hill and plain, on bough and hedge,
The happy sunshine lay.
He questioned as he held my hand,
murmured q reply
As we walked through the meadow land
Together, Tom and l.
And oft the spring has brought since then
The bloom to pear and peach,
The violets to the lowly glen,
The green leaves to the beach,
And scattered with her fairy wand
The gray mists from the sky
Since we walked through that meadow
land
Together, Tom and l.
And we have had since that spring day
Our share of good and i'll,
And now, though old and bent and gray,
We're fond, true lovers still.
In perfect faith, and hand in hand,
We wait the parting nigh,
Since We'll meet in the better land
Together, Tom and l.

THIS WILL MAKE TAXES HIGH.
District Attorney Dillon Makes
an Important Find.
A Charge That Former Supervisors
Have Concealed This Matter.
Tho Interest on Certain Bonds Has
Been Ignored in the Past,
But Must BE Met
Now.

A singular state Of affairs has been
discovered by District Attorney Dillon
with reference to the payment OF inter-
est on the bonded indebtedness of Los
Angeles county.
He ha1 ascertained that for some
years past the board OF supervisors have
not kept up the interest on some Of the
bonds. For some reason they have not
included in their estimates tor the tax
levies amounts for the interest and
sinking funds of certain issues Of bonds,
and the interest has accumulated to a
formidable figure.
According to his figures, there is now
due for this fund the following amounts: !:
Upon the bond issue OF 1884, $26, 900 !;
for 1885, $l04, 900; for 1887, SAC, 900; for
1890, $45,000; total, $215.000. From
this amount is to be subtracted $17 500,
overpayment on the honda of 1882,
leaving $197 500.
The law governing the levy for inter-
eet and sinking funds is found in Sec
tion 25, subdivision IA (c) of the county
government act, and lie mandatory.
When there is not sufficient sum
available to pay interest on bonds it
provides that boards Of supervisors
must make provision for the same in
their levies.
1t is the opinion Of attorneys that the
present board OF supervisors must follow
the law in this matter when they come
to make the levy for the ensuing year.
1t is understood that the making Of the
levy will come up at today's meeting OF
the supervisors.
In case they include the $197, 800 in
the tax levy for the ensuing year it will
make the comfy rate for taxes $1.90 in
stead of $1.30.
In view of the present financial strain
this matter becomes one Of great impor-
tance. ff4
tbs claimed that previous boards have
refrained from including these interest
amounts in order to make good show
ing IN keeping the levy down as low as

JUDGE PIERCE ASSUMES CONTROL.
Colonel Wells began to say to the
court that he had q motion to make with
regard to instruoting the jury, when
Judge Pierce stopped him and addressed
the jury himself, briefly but very earn
estly.
He said that in case like this it was
the duty OF the court to see that no gross
injustice was done. When it appeared
4. tho - fba<fsf hn ,.x~ 81
turn verdict OF guilty it would be his
duty to set it aside, it became his duty
to advise the jury.
This was case in which terrible
charge WAS brought, heinous in its char
acter. 1t was charge easily made and
difficult to disprove. Therefore the law
had hedged such cases about with eueh
provisions TO protect persons from ma
liciouenees. 1t would not do for q
ewoman to claim that q man raped her,
and on her own unsupported testimony
permit jury to convict. Such charge
should be supported by strong and cor
roborating testimony, sufficient TO con-
vince beyond reasonable doubt.
At the close OF the testimony OF the
prosecution in case where such evil
dence was not produced it was the duty
of the court to advise the jury to acquit.
Tho people in this case were obliged to
rely on the testimony of the girl, which
was not corroborated by either direct
testimony or circumstances of collst-
eral nature. ss~
1t would be heinous thing, the Judge
concluded, in court, if the jury should
convict, to allow the verdict to stand.
He had no doubt whatever of the verdict
the jury would render at this time, and
he therefore advised them to return
verdict of acquittal. The jury retired to
their room and returned Immediately
with verdict in accordance with the ad-
vice OF the court, when the defendant
wac discharged.
The defendant was overcome with
emotion while the court was speaking,
and shook each juror by the hand as be
went out. He was warmly congratulated
by his friends at the result.

A FALLING STARR.

A Reform School Student Who Is a
Shining Example.
Bert L. Starr was arrested yesterday
by Detectives Auble and Benson.
Bert left the reform school three days
ago, and Immediately proceeded to tes-
tify to the value of its teaching by
breaking into boot and shoe factory
and stealing eight sides of ahoe leather.
He then came to Los Angeles and
endeavored to sell his booty at Ra-
quena street store, but meeting with un-
success, hired horse and buggy and
drove to Alhsmbrs, where he sold the
leather for 1925.
The proprietor Of the boot and shoe
store burglarized by Starr had taken
quite an interest in the young fellow
during his term in the reformatory, and
had offered him position in the store.
Starr, however, preferred the crooked
path, and robbed his benefactor.
The fellow states that his companion
In the burglary was named Williams.

THE GRAND JURY.
THEY HAVE FOUND A NUMBER OF
INDICTMENTS.
Judge Pierce Refused to Receive the
Report Because One Juror
Was Absent-Tho Pro-
ceedings.

At 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
grand Jury filed into the court room of
department one Of the superior court
and announced to Judge Pierce of San
Diego, who is presiding for Judge Smith,
that they desired to make a partial re-
port.
The grand jury has been in session
about three weeks, and seems to have
worked pretty rapidly from the bunch
of indictments handed up to the court
by the foreman, d. w. Field.
When the roll OF jurors was called it
was found that all the members were
present with the exception of John Rear
don.
When this fact was mads patent,
the court stopped his examination of the
papers handed to him and called Dis
trict Attorney Dillon to him. They
talked together for minute and then
Judge Pierce said that, without having
had time to consult the law, he did not
care to receive the report in the absence
of the absent Juror.
He handed the indictments pack to
the foreman and requested the jury to
return in the morning.
The greatest secrecy was observed as
to the nature of the indictments. About
all that could be learned concerning
them was that after they are filed, it
will not be long before there are several
arrests. From this il is inferred that
several of the persons indicted are in
the city within easy reaching distance
of the officers.
There is great amount OF exporting
on the books of the county officers this
year. ,as
The grand jury has its expert, Aaron
Smith, at work on the books. and the
work has been progressing quite rapidly.
In addition to this expert the board OF
supervisors this year has employed an
expert, Mrs. Fowler, to go through the
books, and her labors are nearly COM
pieied.
1t has also been learned. that the dis
trict attorney has been doing some inde
pendent exporting on his own account,
and that the various officials are having
q surfeit OF exporting.
