COL.WARNER'S BIRTHDAY
THE COLONEL is PROBABLY THE
OLDEST CALIFORNIAN.
His Eighty-sixth Birthday Celebrated on

ing American settler in Los Angeles, if

the native Californians.
Colonel Warner, who is a native OF
Connecticut. WAS born November 20,
1907. He is now living with his daugh-
ter. Mrs. Rubio, and his grandchildren
in the southwestern suburb of this city,
mile or so west of the university. For
q man of his age he enjoys fair health,
barring very severe cold. from which,
however, he is now recovering.
He takes lively interest in current
events and bis memory is q veritable
storehouse of events which have hap
pNued in California's past history, at
least during the last 80 odd years.
One OF the rotable Californians who
was here when Colonel Warner arrived
is Ex-Governor Pho Pico, who now lives
next door neiRhbor to his old time
friend Colonel Warner. Don Pho, who
is still hale and hearty. and who may be
seen daily on the streets, is now over 90
years of age.
Stephen G. Foster, another OF the old
timers, though he came at a much later
period than did Colonel Warner, was in
the city yesterday. His homo 10 about

Mr.. Bradish moved that in all these
places not having restaurant licenses
the licenses be revoked on the ground
that they were violating the rules of the
| commission. No second.
Mr.. Weldon told Mr. Brsdish that if
he would move to repeal the rules he
would second it, but Mr.. Bradish said he
wanted to see the rules enforced.
Mr.. BosbyshelI moved to refer all the
reports to committee of three to in
vestigate.
Mr.. Bradish and Mr.. Bosbyshell voted
aye and Mr.. Weldon and the mayor no,
and the motion was lost.
There was some desultory talk about
the subject and it was finally dropped
without action.
The question of the revocation of the
license of Garcia Bros, on Boyle
Heights, was taken up, and reference
made to the large petition in favor of
revocation, and a motion revoking it
was carried by unanimous vote Of the
commission.
Mr.. Weldon had a nomination for a
vacancy On the force and named J. W..
Bell. subject to confirmation at the next
meeting.
Mr.. Bosbyshell moved that the COM
mission reconsider its action with refer
ence to Sergeant Morton, who was
| dropped recently.
Mr.. Bradish said there were no vacan-
cies now.
Mr.. Weldon said in looking over the
force they might find some one to drop.
Mr.. Brsdish said he would have to be
more careful than before.
1t seemed to be the disposition of the
commissioners to reinstate Sergeant
Morton when the first vacancy should
occur.
At former meeting Special Officer
Luckenbach had hiz star taken from
him on q statement that he had not
done his duty in the recent arrest at the
Santa Fe yards. 1t was shown that this
was mistake and the action was recon-
sidered, and the star restored.
The commissioners then adjourned.

The fight over Charles Langford's will
was resumed yesterday in department
two.
The morning was spent in the exam
ination of Harry Herwick and Mrs.
John Hsrwick, who corroborated the
testimony OF Mrs. Lizzie Longshore and
Mrs. Langford as to the manner in
which the late testator obtained his
divorce from his first wife. No fresh
testimony of any importance was ad-
duced by either witness.
At the afternoon session some start
ling evidence was heard.
Mrs. Herwick was recalled and stated
that after her fathers marriage with
Maria Sherman, he appeared to be con-
tinually in trouble. Upon one occasion
he declared that he didn't care whether
he lived or died.
He said that if he were poor man
and had only himself to think OF, that
!. he would put an end to his misery.
The witness declared that upon an
other occasion che paid visit to her
father after an absence OF over year.
She was received at the house by Mrs.
Langford, who told her her father was
out. She waited an hour and he re-
turned. 1t was raining at the time, and
Maria told the old gentleman to 60 back
and wipe his shoes before he entered the
house. During that visit, which lasted
q week, Maria never allowed witness
and her father to remain together alone.
According to the witness, Maria used
to send the old gentleman to do the
marketing, and would abuse him il the
meat were tough. She used to make
him do the chores and run errands.
Witness asked her father why he
was afraid of his wife. He replied: !:
"You don't know her as we'll as do, or
you would be afraid of her too"
The deceased had told witness that he
intended to leave his children fair
share of his property at bis death.
At this point the feelings of the wit
ness overcame her and her tears flowed
freely II never saw him alive after
that" che sobbed.
She went on to state that she received
letter from her father, shortly after he
went to Pasadena, in which he begged
the witness and her sisters not to follow
him to California, as he declared Maria
would give him no peace should she
know his children were any where near
him.
No news of her fathers death reached
witness until she saw the announce
ment in the newspapers. She then
went to Pasadena and saw Maria, who
appeared to be astonished that witness
knew Of her fathers decease.

made at this time, and Maria. said she
