THE HUrIANE SOCIETY INDOR SED

DR.. Walter Lindley, on behalf of the
Humane society. accompanied by Major
III. T. Lee, made a plea before the council
yesterday with the request that an Appro-
priation be made for the pay of Special
Officer Hutchins of the society, who for
three months has been attending to duty
without compensation.
DR.. Lindley said: 1--WE colue here today
on a peculiar mission. Strange to say,
we represent no ecclesiastical political or
financial interest. The churches have their
myriads of avenues for reaching the hu-
man heart and conscience; the interests
of merchants, corporations and trusts are
ably represented and protected by their
attorneys and managers, while political
parties appeal to the people daily through
the press and from the iostrum, but We
come here to represent the interests OF
those who cannot organize; to speak for
those who cannot speak for themselves
the dumb animal and the hel Dless child.
The Los Angeles Humane society in
the short time since its reorganization,
has seen to it that animals which were be-
ing starved have been fed, that horses
with suppurating ulcers under their col
lars have been rested and cured, that
scores OF animals that were limping
painfully through our streets have been
NdIClully Slpus VIC nave louilt hOioSn
terribly beaten, one until it's eyes were
mashed in the sockets, and we have dis
covered and are as rapidly as possible cor
recting many other indignities too numer-
GUS here to mention.
This is a dark picture, but beyond
that into the depths we have gone and
found children being used to satisfy the
lusts of vile men, have taken girls under
ten years of age from assignation houses
and have found little children such as
you who are fortunate enough to have
families would be proud to take upon
your knees and listen to their childish
prattle-we have found such as these be-
ing beaten. neglected and cursed. This is
why we coccupy your time today. We
believe you, representing the city. have
hearts that beat responsive to the plain
tive cries of these helpless ones.
III. T. Lee, Esq. our trusted adviser,
and earnest co worker, will address you
more in detail
Major Lee said that the funds OF the So
clety are entirely exhausted. The society
asked that the city pay one-half of Off
Ger Hutchins' salary. and request for the
other half is to be made to the county
supervisors. Also that the city pay for
the keeping of horse to be used by the
society's officer the society itself pur-
moved that the city pay the half of the
salary as requested endorsing heartily the
societys work. Martin Marsh objected
in open council to Hutchins' employ
ment. being willing, however, as he said,
to contribute as much money as anyone
else to assist the city in its work. Marsh
was cut short after he had fired several
volleys at the present humane officer, and
then, after Councilman KingeTy had
made a few remarks in favor of the
city to pay the money requested. the
Teed motion was concurrcd with no votes
in the negative.

BISCAlLUz'S FORGERY
The Case Proved Plainly Against Him-A
Continuance Granted


Continuance Granted
NJ. V. Biscailuz, the attorney accused
of having forged the name of Superior
Judge Van Dyke to an order directing
Paul Saubon to pay 5000 additional
costs in certain proceedings by which he
sought to collect the sum of $l3s from
the estate of n. G. Teller. deceased, was
brought up from the county jail before
Justice Young yesterday afternoon for ex-
animation.
Saubion. the complaining witness, tes-
titled that Biscailuz had brought the order
to him in the court house on April 2G
and alleged that it had been signed by
Judge Van Dyke. The prisoner was very
anxious to obtain the money at once and
to retain the order. Saubion, however.
got hold of the odrer and refused to pay
the amount. Later, when he became con-
vinced@ that the paper was forgery, he
causeu Biscailuz's arrest.
Judge Walter Van Dyke, called to the
stand. denied that the signature to the
document had been affixed there by him.
He had no recollection of such a case as
the ono of Teller, nor Of any such order.
The order would have been a very I'M
usual one if genuine.
A. W. Seaver. deputy county clerk.
testified that the signature was not J udge
Van Dykes. He had examined the rec
ords and found that there was no such
estate as that Of n. G. Teller undergoing
probate. though there is one entitled A.
n. Teller. There was no evidence Of any
order such as the one presented by the
prisoner to Mr.. Saubion.
The prosecution having rested. the de-
fense. represented by Mr.. Munday. asked
for few days in which to prepare for the
defense. and the case was continued until
tomorrow afternoon, Biscaiuz being
meanwhile remandcd in default of bail.

Gilman Munson explained why 1t was that
the board of public works had recon-
mcnded the advertisement for the pro-
posed franchise. Most of the properly
owners along the proposcd road had petit
toned for this franchise, and he and the
board felt satisfied that the proposition
was all right.
Councilman n X ingcry explained that ne
had personally visited the Dacker of the
proposed road and had been solemnly as
sured that his intentions were strictly
and cntirel honorable. He thought the
proposition fan and square one. Coun-
Gilman Teed, in replying. SAID that the
whole thing to him smelled bad in the
way it was being done. Why had not the
people interested in this franchise come
before the council and made a straight
request for the franchise wanted? This
was a new and novel way to ask for a
franchise, and he for one did not appre-
ciate the novelty of the situation. The
boards recommendation was adopted by
a vote of to 4, as follows; Ayes-Coun-
cilmen Munson, Ashman. kingery. Pes

A Negro Given a Black Eye in the Night by
J. w. Thomas
A burly person named j. W. Thomas
was arraigned yesterday before Judge
Owens charged with battery on the person
of dusky George Bonner, the complaining
witness.
According to Bonner and Officer Ritch.
the former was strolling down Whining
ton street in the wee sma' last night, and
Thomas and another white man were fol-
lowing behind him on the opposite side.
Officer Ritch followed them all, scenting
mischief from afar. Near First street. the
white men crossed over and in the shad-
ows there was mixing up from which
camo sepulchral groans and yells of agony
and alarm.
Up rushed the minion Of the law and
gathered in the combatants. Tho darky
was losing blood profusely and accused
Thomas. Thomas ingeniously averred
that he did net sec the negro IN the dark.
but thinking the whites OF his eyes were
parts of u spook. he struck out and
landed heavily with dire results. The
officer took in both the story and the
fighters, and they will tell their tales of
woe at 2 o'clock today. When arraigncd

A ROYAL ARTIST
His Romantic Home and Inspiring Themes or
Mount Lowe

Mount Lowe
"Yonder is the tent and artist home
of Carl Zens," said Professor Lowe to
n group of visitors standing on the brink
of Echo canyon as the last faint revcr-
berating echo died away after the custo-
mary salute. The professor was pointing
to a spcck of white near the crest OF the
front range. 1900 feet above the hotel and
two miles distant.
Artist Xens has been living in his ro-
mantle but hermit home in the deep
heart OF the mountains beneath the
grand pines which shelter CRYSTAL springs.
His rude cabin was hung with sketches
which will be reproduced IN magnificent
frcscoes on the walls of German public
buildings. The venerable artist with his
sturdy frame and silver bair and beard
is a striking figure and is a passionate
lover of nature.
When he paItakcs of the simple meal
prepared by his own hands, the birds
and the squirrels Join him and share the
Tepast, repay;ne his Kindness with song
of thanks or chatter of keen apprecia-
ton. They are pets and companions Of
which he never tires.
His present location is on the SUNNI it
OF the range which intervencs between
Echo mountain and Mount Lowe. Here
perched upon his lofty eyrie, his sweep

aIed grandeur and beauty, and he is now
at work upon his most am bltious produc-
tion, which will be Il tit companion piece
to Bierstadt's $ study of the Rocky noun

and 1t will ultimately adorn the royal art
gallery at Munich.
