The Nj citing of the Fiesta advisory Com
mittee Last Night.
The fiesta advisory committee at its
meeting last night received communi-
cation from the Whselmen's Training
league, of Los Angeles, offering their
services during fiesta week, to add in
every way in their power to the attrac-
tiveness of the parades.
A communication was also received
from Los Angeles perlor. No. 45. Native

tive Daughters of the Golden West,
suggesting a grand ball during fest

Director General Mey berg stated that
the advisory committee had considered
the matter OF the meetings Wednesday
and Saturday evenings with the various
COMM ttees, and had thought it better
for the eub-com mltteea to have inde-
pendent meetings and submit reports to
the advisory board. He thought it was
best to have also a right OF appeal to the
MerChRnts' association from the judg-
ment of the advisory committee. in case
there should be difference OF opiuion
between committee and tho advisory
committee. Suggestions from commit
tees would always be welcome. but by

better results wonld be- secured.

THOSE EXTRA SALARIES
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY HOLDS
THE CLAIMS ARE INVALID,
Because the Retiring Onicers Have Been
Paid in Eull-The Bh erif An
Exception.

In reply to o communication from the
board Of supervisors asking the district
attorney whether the retired county
officers, their deputies aud employ ees.
are to be allowed pay for the frat six
days in January Of this year and mp to
~ O'Clock on the seventh. Major Dom
nell has filed a lengthy answer.
The district attorney says that the
auditor is required to draw his warrant
upon the county on the first Monday of
each month in favor OF the county
officers. for the amount of salary due
them for the preceding month, and in
his opinion 1t is not within the province
of the board to settle or allow salaries
OF officers fixed by the legislati We power
OF the state.
In reply to the question whether the
retiring officers are entitled to pay for
their services up to the seventh day of
January at noon, he replies yes. provid-
cd they have not been paid for said term.
The answer is modified, however, by the
proviso that the question depends upon
the legal meaning OF the phrases.
'terms of office" and respective
TERMS" as used in the constitution and
statutes.
After reacting the different sections ap.
plying to the matter, Major Donnell
concludes that the only year mentioned
anywhere therein, so far as elective
county and township officers are con-
cerned, begins on the first Monday after
the first day OF January next succeeding
their election, at IL o'clock meridian.
In all OF the statutes providing for pay
ing the salaries of officers, the auditor
ia required to draw his warrant on the
treasurer the fret Monday OF each
month, for the salaries OF the preceding
month. This clearly establishes the
fact that the first month in the term OF
all elective county and township officers
begins with the first Monday after the
first day of January.
The facts, as shown by the official
records of the county, are that the re-
firing officers entered upon their duties
at IL O'Clock on the first Monday after
the Let of January, 1898, and continued
in office until noon on the first Monday
after the 1st of January, 1895, with the
exception of the sheriff. The warrants
OF tho auditor show that the full amount
due each OF said officers. "a months in
all. has been palu.
For these reasons the district attorney
concludes that the retiring officers have
received all they are entitled to under
the law, and the claims for salary in
January made by them. their assistants
and deputies, should be disallowed.
This rule also applies to employees
under monthly salary and performing
O full months work.
There is one exception noted in the
opinion-thst OF sheriff. Mr.. Burr did
not enter upon his duties until late in
the afternoon of January 9th. There
fore Mr.. Cline and his deputies having
performed the extra work. they should
be paid from noon, January 9TH, until 5
y. m. on January 9th. and MI Bprr and
dis deputies should be paid ror the re-
wsiader OF the month.

Plead ed Guilty.

Justice Morrison yesterday afternoon,
and his case took queer turn. In tho
morning Hoyt pleaded guilty to the
complaint which charged him with OBJ
tanning $50 from Joe Morales, who ia
connected with Bob Kern's establish
ment. Justice Morrison continued it
until the afternoon to hear the story OF
the transaction from the witnesses.
In the afternoon Hoyt. with his hair
parted Immediately in the m iddle and
nervously Juggling at the suggestion OF
moustache, was brought up from the
city Jail. He was represented by Attor-
ney Rush. who very adroitly ratified Joe
Morales on the witnes stand. From un-
willing admissions by Morales, it APP
pears that he and Hoyt enjoyed
Spanish dinner at place on Whining
ton street one night before the check
transaction. He became very much
confused when Mr.. Rush asked him ii
there was not considerable dics throw
Ing ON the OCCASION, ana II after supper
they did not hold up their hats to see
how high lady present could kick.
Morales memory failed him at this
point and he never found it again.
It WAS shown that after the supper
Hoyt borrowed SIS from him. and the
next night got Bob Kern to cash the $50
check, alleging he had bank account.
Kern required Morales to indorse the
check, and Hoyt paid the latter the SIS
borrowed money out OF the proceeds OF
the check, which was found TO be worth
less.
Mr.. Rush claimed that as Morales
never cashed the check. as the complaint
alleged, Hoyt could not be convicted
under it. He asked leave to Withdraw
his clients plea of guilty, and enter
plea of not guilty, which was vigorously
combatted by Mr.. James. prosecuting
attorney.
The court, after hearing the srgu-
ments, reserved his decision on the mo.
ton until Monday. Hovt appears to

The actual running time OF engine
1862 upon the trip named was less than
two hours. making the average speed
about 70 miles an hour. The occasion
WAS when President Manyile, OF the
Santa Fe route, made visit to this
coast, and his train was run ss special

The train that leaves here for Cotton

at 4 80 o'clock and makes the run to
Colton, distance OF so miles, or should
make it, in one hour and 40 minutes.
But the train stops s times on the way,
and as a railway train can not stop and
start under three minutes, the actual
running time from Los Angeles to Col =

DoCTER's WRIT DISMISSED.
The Young Embezzier Goes Back to til
County Jail,

The Young Embezzier Goes Back to the
County Jail.
Judge Clark yesterday dismissed the
writ of habeas corpus applied for by
Alex Doctor and remsnded him to the
custody of the sheriff.
Doctor asked for his liberty on several
grounds. The first was that the district
attorney, having failed to file within 80
days an information charging him with
the offense for which he is held for
trial. his detention was illegal. In
other words. he urges that when he was
held to answer by the committing
magistrate he was only committed for
30 days unless within that time an in
formation was filed. The judge held
that Doctors remedy in the matter was
by proceeding under the provisions OF
section 1882 and A Of the penal code,
which recite that the court must dis
miss cases against persons held to an
swer for q public offense when an in
formation is not filed against them
within 80 days, and not by habsas
corpus.
The second ground in Doctors petit
ton, that he had once been arrested on
the charge, held to answer and was in
custody at the time, ths court held to
be no bar; and the informality of the
Justices commitment endorsed on the
warrant, remaining the prisoner to GUS
tody, instead OF for examination, is not
sufficient to entitle him to HE discharge.
The order of Justice OF the Peace Oven
continuing the examination for more
than two days subsequent to the ar
raignment having b,en made with
Doctors consent, he cannot now COM
plain OF it.
The case of ENLIGHTENMENT for which
Doctor had been held TO answer wac
afterward dismissed in department one
by Judge Smith on motion OF the dis
trict attorney. The only case against
him now is the new charge sworn to by
Detective Bosqui, which comes up for
examination tomorrow morning in the
police court.
