SAN PEDRO WINS.
The Land was Dedicated az n Public
Street.

The Land Was Dedicated az n Public
Street.
Yesterday in Judge Clark's depart
ment OF the superior court, he rendered
decision in the case OF the City OF San
Pedro VS.. Tanner, in accordance with an
opinion filed.
1t was an action in ejectment brought
to oust the defendant from a tract of
land claimed to be within the limits of
OF public street in San Pedro.
The evidence showed that in 1892
John @. Downey, lothian Bixby and
others wore owners of the Los Palos
Verdes rancho, and that in that year
suit in partition was brought, entitled
Bixby VS.. Bent.
Com missioners were appointed ard in
September 1892 made a report and ac-
companied it by map called Map of
the Town OF San Pedro. 1t was filed
with the county clerk but not recorded.
Upon the map the streets are delin-
eated and named and the evidence
shows that the premesis in this action
are within the lines of Front street as
thereon delineated, at point in its in
tersection with Fourth street.
1t was admitted that the defendants
and their predecessors had been in pos
session since 1884. There was no claim
to the title being in the defendant, but
the defendant rested on the contention
that the action being in ejectment, the
plaintiff to prevail must depend, upon
the strength OF its title and not upon
the weakness of the defendants.
Judge Clark says, however, that if the
ny within tho linaa of h
lie street it was not necessary for the
plaintiff to prove title in fee.
The only question, he eays, was
whether the filing of the map and the
proceedings in the suit of Blk by vs.
Bsnt and the execution of deeds by the
owners in partition constituted dedi-
cation of Front atreet to the public as
a public street.
He answers this question in the
affirmative and gives findings and judg-
ment Cor the city of San Pedro.

RESTAURANT LICENSES.
THEY OCCUPY THE TIME OF THE
POLICE COMMISSION.
Police Secretary Mofrstt Makes a Strong
Report-Other License Matters.
Miscellaneous Pro-
oeedings.

The police commission tackled another
batch of applications for restaurant IL
censes yesterday. Messrs. Rowan, Ar
mold, Bradish, Bosbyshell and Weldon
were present, and the first application
taken up was that of Duncan s. Cage of
300 North Alameda street.
Police Secretary Moffatt submitted a
report on the merits of the applicant in
which he stated az follows: This place
is known as the White House, a notori-
GUS resort run by John Williams, whose
saloon license was revoked some months
ago. The said Williams, after his license
was revoked, kept his place open az a
restaurant, serving crackers and sand
wiches, and sold as much or more LIQUOR
as when he had saloon license. He
has sold liquor at all hours of the night,
and on Sundays particularly. On Sun :
day the place is crowded with prosti-
tutes and low-lived men who are their
companions. The place is now worse
than when operated under saloon
license. The applicant has been in the
employ OF the proprietor of the so-called
restaurant for five months, and the chief
expressed the belief that his application
was mere subterfuge.
A communication was then read from
Gage asking for permission to withdraw
his application, which was promptly
granted by the commission.
Application for permission to transfer
license from Blind & Plant to Plant &
Baelz. located at 6O8 Downey avenue,
was granted.
No action was taken on the application
of L. Ii. Reynolds for a saloon license at
50l West Sixth street, on motion of Mr..
Bosbyshell, on account of protest hay.
ing been filed against saloon there.
Restaurant licenses were granted to

The following restaurant license ap-
plications were referred to the chief of

The Strong Man Gives Private Ez-
hibition.
Sebastian Miller, the strong man, gave
an exhibition of his remarkable strength
in the HERALD Office yesterday, by
breaking stones with his fist.
He gave the same exhibitio as he
gives on the stage at the Vienna Buffet,
and which has been seen by many OF the
people OF the city.
Placing a stone upon an iron ball, he
swings his strong right arm and lands a
blow upon it with mis- fist, and the stone
breaks into pieces. BY the expansion of
the muscles OF his arm and of his chest
he breaks steel chains and does other
wonderful feats.
Miller is one of the strongest men in
the world. He has a standing challenge
to outlift any man, and one Of his favor
ite performances is outpull team OF
horses. He will bet anything from $1,000
down that he can best the strongest

SOME UNWELCOME TESTIMONY
An Attorney Testifies in a Su-
periOr Court Case,
And Is Confronted by Some Docu
mentary Evidence.
o. N. Wilson Denies Receiving Money,
and T. WeisendaDger Produces
Checks to Prove the
Payment.

There were some very singular de-
velopments yesterday in case in the
superior court in which Attorney @. N.
Wilson was pressed very hard in con-
nection with money claimed to have
been paid him by T. Wiesendanger, and
which he saye he never received.
Some time before the death of Mrs.
Hariiett Shaw, or Cuddebaker, which
occurred January 6, 1891, man named
William Femme executed two notes for
5000 each to Mrs. Shaw and gave her
a mortgage on lot Is. block three, Da-
man & Miilard's subdivision OF the Shaw
tract. Afterwards he sold the lot to A.
II. Sanborn who assumed the mortgage.
The latter sold to Wiesendanger who as
sumed the mortgage.
He claims that he paid the notes and
interest, 1920, to @. N. Wilson, who was
Mrs. Shaw's attorney. He made the
payments in five checks, on the face of
each one being written that they were
paid upon the notes and mortgage in
question.
After Mrs. Shaw's death the admins
traitor, VIM. Weber, went to Mr.. Wies-
endanger and wanted him to pay the
note. He said he had. Weber said
there was no record of it. They went to
Wilson, who denied receiving anv
money at any time from Wiesen danger.
After this denial Weber foreclosed un-
der the mortgage and the property was
sold to satisfy the debt.
Wiesendanger then brought the pres
ent suit to recover the money he claims
to have paid Wilson.
Wilson denied on the witness stand
yesterday, in face of the checks which
had come back to Mr.. Wiesendanger
from the bank, that he had ever re-
ceived single cent from Wiesendanger.
His memory was very good upon some
things, but on this point he did not re-
member that he ever received the
checks, and asserted positively that be
did not.
The testimony consisted principally of
the direct assertions by Mr.. Wiesen-
danger that he had paid the money and
he showed the checks to prove it, and
Wilson's denial that he ever received
any money from him.
The case WAS taken under advisement
late in the afternoon by Judge Webb of
Fresno. who is presiding for Judge
Shaw.

The Defendnnt Admits Saying Things,
But Alleges Their Truth.
In Judge York's court yesterday the
trial Of a decidedly sensational damage
suit Was commenced.
Il s the suit of I. F. Maher VS.. J. b.
Mullen for $40, 900 for alleged ISLANDERS
through which he lost his place.
MIR. MRher claims that January l,
1893, he was the telegraph operator and
cashier Of the Southern California Rail-
road company at Redlands. He says
that at that time he WAS q man OF good
reputation, honest and Of undoubted in
tegrity.
He had an enemy, however, and that
enemy, he claims, was j. =. Mullen, who
went about stabbing him In the back by
circulating stories to his detriment.
These stories were to the effect that he
was negligent in his business, was in
subordinate and no good generally.
Maher claims that Mullen succeeded in
having him discharged. But the com
pany investigated the reports, found
them untrue and reinstated him.
But January 30,.1 Maher claims
Mullen circulated additional reports
about him in connection With his rela-
blOlb Wlbl thO OAC1tOAu OAAAAA& 1851
citation; that he WAS short $400 in his
accounts, and that O. L. Younkmsn had
to mortgage his house and lot to clear
him. The report was that he had en-
bezzled the money.
January 25, 1893, Mr.. Maher says
Mullen told Conductor s. II. Sheppard
that he was short in his accounts and
asked him to notify M. O. Taylor, the
agent at Santa Anita.
1t was done, and in consequences OF
the words 80 spoken he was discharged
again by the company. He asks SIC, 900
for this and 10000 for publishing and
circulating the reports.
In the answer Mr.. Mullen has admit
ted the truth of the allegations that he
did say the things with which he is
charged, but that they were true, and
not said with malice.
Considerable testimony was taken
yesterday and the trial will be resumed
this morning.

TOOK HIS CHUM'S NAME.
ARTHUR LEWIS, THE FMBEZ-

1t Is Claimed His Real Name Is Emsley
Dorsett and That He Has Had
Quite q variegated
Career.

The young man who was convicted of
embezzlement under the name of Arthur
Lewis, and who is now at San Quentin
serving the five years. sentence imposed
upon him by Judge Smith, appears to
be a much smoother individual than he
was thought to be, even though his
capabilities in that line were thoroughly
appreciated.
The herald., 1894-03-07

which he was convicted was the selling
of piano for Messrs. Fisher & Boyd.
music firm, appropriating the money
and skipping out. He was caught at
the Needles en- route east. and 90 de-
tense very smoothly asserted that he
owned the piano under an arrangement
with the owners. The claim was too
thin to work, however, and he was
speedily convicted.
1t was thought all along that the
young swindler's true name was Arthur
Lewis, just as he had given it, but from
letter received in the city yesterday it
appears that in Kansas City he is known
by different name, and his operations
as crook are more extensive than were
thought.
Enclosed in the letter was photo
graph of young man. and it was easily
identified as being the exact image OF
the man convicted as Arthur Lewis.
The letter is from Messrs. G. W. Strope
q Co., piano dealers of Kansas CITY.
They state that they noticed an article
in the Musical Courier of Septsm Der
18th from Messrs. Fisher & Boyd in re-
gard to ''bad piano man." and the
description fitted in every particular
with young man named Emsley Dor
sett, who was working for them in Kan
sas City. He sold two pianos for cash
and then disappeared.
The name OF Arthur Lewis, under
which the convicted man sailed while in
Los Angeles, Was the name of an inti-
mate friend of Dorsett's. whose home
was in Texas.
The firm stated that Dorsett was very
iond OF riding on Q bicycle and was
good ridsr.
It is also intiInsted that since the con-
viction OF Lewis, or Dorsett, some OF her
crooked transactions of his in Los Ange-
les have ne to light and will soon be
made public.
