A MAGNIFICENT SHOWING.

Only S17,2OO of Uncoliectsd Taxes for
tho Last Fiscal Year.
County Tax Collector Hewitt has com.
pleted the figuring up OF the work of his
Office for the fiscal year which ended
June 30th, and the result is very graft
Tying one.
The total amount of taxes on the as.
easement rolls for collection for the fiscal
year Just ended was $l.168. 900. and all
of that amount except $17 200 has been
collected and turned into the county
treasury.
This is the smallest delinquent liat re-
naming over after the expiration OF the
time for payment for many years, and
the smallest in the erate in proportion.
General Hewitt feels pardonably
elated over the magnificent showing
made during his administration, but
feels more gretified over the healthy
state OF affairs in the county Indicated
by the remarkably close payment of
taxes by the people during a year of
such financial depression as the last. 1t
shows very clearly that the people of
Los Angeles county have not been
pushed to the wall as severely as in
other parts of the country. .

Man who Borrowed Se5 and How
He Did 1t.
Fred Parnham was arraigned in Just
ice Ssaman's court yesterday upon a
misdemeanor charge of borrowing $25
from George Little, and failing to repay
it. Psrnham ID accused of representing
himself to have been employed by the
H. w. Whitney Land company when, it
is alleged, he never WAS go employed
and was wholly unable to repay any
borrowed money. He will be tried
August 10th.
The warrant upon which he was ar
rested was sworn to by Little and issued
on July 25th. The warrant was placed
in the hands of the police at once, and
passed from hand to hand until Officer
Dixon arrested Parnhsm.
The whole matter appears to be spite
work on the part of Little. Parnham
being surveyor, had position offered
him with government surveying party,
and while awaiting the time to 90 upon
duty, became acquainted with Little.
Little loaned him s25, telling him he
WAS willing to do it on the strength OF
Parnham's chance OF locating some gov.
ernment land for him.
The surveying party failed to 60 out
and Parnham secured another position.
Then Little had q complaint filed
against his former friend.

BRIGHT HELD TO ANSWER.

Mobiles Room at Ii otsl Metropolis.
A young man who WAS arrested under
the name of Wright, but who gave his
true name as J. B. Bright, was examined
before Justice Bartholomew yesterday
on charge OF burglary.

room of Mrs. j. s. Noble. wife of Divis-
ion Superinten dent J. S. Noble, of the
Southern Pacific at Tucson. Ariz. Mrs.
Noble WAS stopping at the Hotel Metro
pole, on Catalina island, June Oath last,
and missed her purse, which contained
$3.50 in money, an annual pass over the
Southern Pacific lines in the name Of
her husband, and Pullman pass also
bearing his name.
Bright wss stopping at the hotel at
the time. Not long afterward Conduct
or John Dowling, one of the veterans Of
the Southern Pacific, came across the
passes on his train coming from San
Francisco. He thought they had been
tampered with, and took them up from
the passenger who rendered them, who
proved to be Bright. The name of Mr..
Noble had been erased and the name of
]. s. Holt inserted upon both passes.
the name on the railroad pass being o
pretty poor piece of work, while the
other was clevsrly done. When Bright
reached the city he was arrested and
charged with burglarizing Mrs. Mobiles
room.
At the examination yesterday Mrs.
Noble was present and related her story
OF the loss OF the property. The passes
were identified by the clerk who issued
them, and it was clearly shown that
they were the passes taken up from
Bright by Conductor Bowling.
Bright was held to answer and his bail
fixed at $1,000. He could not give it and

WIN BE Tried To-day.
Samuel Hunt was up for trial in de-
partment one Of the superior court yes
tefdsy and came near getting a continu-
ance. but the plan did not work. except
that the trial was deferred one day.
Hunt is the man who is accused by
Samuel Holroyd of attempting to rob
hin In the Arroyo Seco June 22d while
they were on prospecting trip they had
taken up the arroyo. Holroyd was a
newcomer and happened to form an &C.
quaintance with Hunt, who has had an
exceedingly checkered career. He
claimed that while Hunt was behind
intention OF robbing him OF several hum
on him by pulling revolver and shoot
ing the ex-convict in the hand.
When the csRe was called Yesterday
morning before Judge Mckinley, Hunt
stated to the court that the attorney
he had expected. O. O. Stephens, had
failed to attend and he wanted the case
asked the jailers several times to bring
hin W LHe Juuko bo eHat uo COulu hbk
for counsel, but that they had refused to
grant his request.
Judge Mckinley at once had the mat
ter investigated. Deputy Jailor W. b.
Cline stated that Hunt had made no
such request OF him, and the other
iailors testified in like manner. 1t was
shown that Hunt had had full informa-
ton that 9. @. Stephens would not ap-
pear for him and had ample time to
procure other counsel.
Deputy District Attorney Davis said
he had no disposition to take advantage
of the defendant, but he could not see
how he should be entitled to continu-
ance.
j. B. Dunlap said he had been spoken
to only few minutes before and had
not had time to confer with Hunt.
Under the circumstances Judge Nc
Kinley ssid he would grant reasonable
continuance. but Mr.. Dunlap said if ne
tried the case at all he would rather do
30 today and that was the continuance
finally granted.

RHIzoEIUS VENTRALIs.
THE BLACK LADY BUG Is HARD
AT WORK.
She IL Rapidly Eating Up the Black
Scale In the Pomo-
ns Orange
Trees.

There has been for over a year past
such difference OF opinion aud divers
ity OF statements OF facts regarding the
work OF the rhizobius ventralis, or black
lady-birds, in destroying black scale,
that fruit growers have not known
whether to give the insects trial in
their orchards or not, says the Pomona
Progress. The officers OF the state board
Of horticulture, under whose auspices
the black lady birds were brought to the
coast from Australia and propagated and
distributed here, have stoutly main
tanned that the insect would eradicate
the black scale from Southern California
in time. and have already done so in one
or two large orchards, notably Elwood
Cooper's large olive orchard at Santa
Barbara.
Many colonies were distributed by the
state board of trade throughout Southern
California last fall, a dozen or two being
placed in groves in this valley. As no
one had: d:been able to find any trace OF
the bugs after they were liberated on the
trees, nearly everybody supposed they
had died or disappeared and would ac
complish nothing. and some papers have
so stated several times. Recently Alex
andef Craw, q uarantine officer of the state
board of horticulture, with Commissioner
Collins of San Bernardino and local
horticultural officer, inspected several
orchards in Pomona. One was the olive
grove Of J. L. Howland, who like others
had not been able to find any trace of
the insects since they were put upon his
trees. By spreading white sheet under
the trees and shaking the latter the off.
GERS found large numbers of the insects
on the trees. and discovered on close ex-
animation that they were destroying the
black scale. A visit to George +. Ferris
orchard disclosed the same state OF facts.
and all were convinced that the insects
were propagating satisfactorily and do
to this country.
When it ia considered that the first
black lady birds. consignment consist
ing of 10 pairs only, were brought to
this country in 1892, their propagation
and work on the black scale here is
encouraging. Mr.. Craw says observa-
ton leads him to recommend the
liberation OF colonies on olive trees,
leaving them to extend their range
in q natural way to other sorts OF
trees. He finds that colonies so
started thrive much better than
those started on citrus trees. In Santa
CLARA county he finds several colonies
doing excellent work on the brown april
cot scale. On the whole he has no
question Of the value OF the insect in its
effects upon the black scale, black smut
and the brown apricot scale. Already
in Mr.. Cooper's orchards they are sav-
ing an annual outlay OF between three
and i've thousand dollars, besides an in
fnitely greater loss in preservation OF
the vitality of the trees and in their
better fruitfulnens.
