THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
A Number of Routine Matters Taken
Up and Disposed of
A Strong Protest Against the Appll cation Of
the Azusa Rancho to Incor-
porats

The board OF supervisors met yesterday
with Chairman Francisco presiding, and
all the mem bers present.
The demand of G. G. Lee of Ames, Ia,
commissioner appointed by Judge B. N.
Smith to take certain dispositions in that
place, amounting to $3.50, was disal-
lowed on the report of the district attor-
nev that it was not valid charge against
the county. The claim was endorsed by
Judge Smith.
The claim of!E. J. Holt ct all, trustees,
for Sl5.60. was, referred to the county
auditor, it having been paid previously.
The claim of j. A. Bernal. of $40 pal-
ance claimed for making survey and map
or use in Chinese murder trial, was
disallowed.
A deed from George H. Bonebrake and
the Santa Gertrudes fruit ranch was
placed on file, conveying certain land for
road purposes at Santa Fe Springs.
The bond of the Evening Express, given
under the contract for publishing county
advertising, was approved and placed
on file.
The application of John s. Blythe for
a saloon license az Downey was filed and
set for hearing September oath, at 10 a. m.
County surveyor Wright was allowed
extra help for the month of Septem ber {:
Three draftsmen, $l00 per month; six
craftsmen at $75 per month; one copylst
at 81. 80 per day.
In the matter Of the application of the
Azusa ranch TO incorporate, on motion
of Supervisor Woodward it was decided
that the board should visit that place
Septem ber 10th. remonstrance against
the proposed incorporation was also filed.
The grounds of the protest are that the
townsite is ample for the present popu.
lation. that the town has for itself an in
dependent water system. that the lands
outside of the towpsite have another and
independent water system, that the lands
outside of the townsite are only agricul-
tural or horticultural, and mainly owned
in large tracts; that to be included in an
incorporated town with the different
water systems would create confusion
and trouble, and that to be included in
an incorporated town would be of 10
benefit but positive damage, as 1t
would largely increase the taxes without
any adequate benefit. The remonstrance
is singed by James and J. S. Slausun.

But Twice IN TEN YEARS
The New City Tax Rate COM
pared With Old Days
1T HAS BEEN SOME HIGHER
In lSS6-S7 Tie Rate Was SLIGO
Per Sl00
II There Is q Favorable Decision on the Re-
funding Bonds There'il Be
Honey to Burn
1T HAS BEEN SOME HIGHER

The big municipal tax lovy fixed by the
council on Tuesday is being discussed
just now pro ami con about the city hall.
City taxes will be next year from IS 10 25
per cent higher than they have been dur
ing any year since 1889. when the present
charter went into effect. Only twice dur
ing the past ten years have ;he taxes been
anything like as high as this rate just
agreed upon. In 1SS6-s7. that is to say
the year when the big real estate
boom made money as plentiful hereabouts
as water about the long wharf at Santa
Monica, public Improvements we're CO.
ing on then in every direction and Los
Angeles had almost in night grown
from a village into tirst-class city. The
levy then was SLIGO on the 500. Two
years later when the beginning of the
end was at hand and the bubble had
burst, there was another big tax rate.
The people had danced and they had to
pay the piper to the tune of $3.50 on the
$100 of assessed valuation.
In 1SS7-8S the levy was S1.30.
In the year 1SS9-90, when the bottom
had been reached and times were the
hardest, the levy was only 81. 10. The
ing 1892 and 1929 it fell to an even
81, which is the lowest rate in the men,
ory of the oldest inha btant.
During 1S93-94 the levy jumped again the
wrong way. being fixed at $l.20. Henry
t. Hazard was then mayor and with b i'm
there was largely Republican council.
During the ad in istratiom OF Thomas Il.
Rowan the lew did not increase. Rowan
had a Republican council to contend
against, but he appears to have held the
wild colts pretty we'll in check.
During 1886 the levy was $1.20 ana
this year the record stands pretty close to
the high line with rate of $1.45 on the
500.
Should there be a favorabe decision
upon the refuding bonds. which is now
doubtful, the tax levy next year will not
be more than about ST. 10 on the $100.

ARE PLEADING FOR MERCY
The Saloon Keepers Want Another
Chance
All Those Whose Licenses Were Revoked
Plead With the Mayor
Without Result

The four saloon proprietors whose
liquor licenses the board of police COM
missioners revoked on Tuesday, as PEN
atty for violating the Sunday closing or
dinance, wero all of them yesterday off,
cially notified of the action of the board,
letter being sent to each to the effect
that if they continued to sell liquor they
will be, all of them. prosecuted by the
city authorities In the courts. To make
the thing complete. Chief Glass was noti-
fed in writing of the action of the board
and instructed to govern himself accord
ingly.
Every one of the four accused was at
the mayors office bright and early yes
terday morning to protest against the ac-
tion Of the police com m issinoers in re-
voking their licenses, and each one de-
MED as vehemently as he knew how that
he had either last Sunday or at any 9TH
er time broken the law. All wanted just
one more chance to obey the ordinances.
Acting Mayor Teed turned deaf ear to
all of the appeals made. and the several
culprits left the city hall sadder and wiser
than they had been when they had en-
tered.

THE FEDERAL COURTS
Another Conviction for Passing Counterfeit
Coin--The Willard Cases

Another Conviction for Passing Counterfeit
Coln-The Willard Cases
Sam Sorten. the second of the San Lsi
Obispo miners charged with having conn
terfeit coin in their possession and pass
ing the same, was convicted in the United
States district court yesterday before
Judge wellborn and jury. There was no
question of the guilt of the accused, who
virtually confessed his crime during the
trial OF his partner. Wilson, on the previ-
Gus day. Sorten is a man apparently OF
a very low order of intellect, and for this
reason there was a disposition on the
part Of the jury to be lenient in his case.
In fact, it began to look like a mistral
when, shortly aftsr O'Clock, JudgeWell-
born ordered the jury brought into court,
and asked them if there was any likeli-
hood of a speedy agreement. The fore
man replied that there wa. not, when the
co irt ordered the jury into the custody of
the marshal, at the same time saying
that recess would be taken to 10 o'clock
this morning. This announcement mad a
decidedly electrifying effect, for one of
the jurymen promptly jumped to his feet
and asked if they could have some fur
ther instructions, giving Hypothetical
case by way OF illustration, to-wit If the
jury stood evenly divided as to the guilt
or innocence OF a party, could they agree
on verdict of guilty, with recommen-
dation to the mercy of the court. Judge
Wellborn replied that Recommendation
to mercy was no part OF u verdict; that
the jury was to determine as to the guilt
or innocence of the accused, and that the
whole responsibility for the punishment
IN case of a veroct of guilty rested with
the court. His honor started to leave the
bench, when one of the juIymen said
that If they could be given five minutes
more he thought verdict could be
reached. This was agreed to and the
court room was cleared, the jury being
allowed to remain in their seats. In less
than five minutes the Judge was sent for
and verdict of guilty was returned.
Judge Wellborn then stated that If any of
the jury wished to make any recommen-
dations the court would hear them, and
six of the mem bers joined in a recommen-
dation for mercy. Time of sentence was
set for Monday next.
The jury in the case OF Jim Brown,
charged with having counterfeit money
IN his possession, was empaneed in the
United States district court and the trial
wi IL take place today.
In the cases of the Willards, charged
with using the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses, Judge Wellborn overruied the de-
Inurrer to the complaint, whereupon
pleas OF not guilty we're entered, and the
trials set for the 23d OF October.
There was no session OF the United
States circuit court.

Rainfall General In the Mississippi VAL
Iey-Crops Not Utterly Ruined by
the Prolonged Drouth May Yet Be
Saved.

Chicago, June 2.-Unexpected rain,
although only in scattered showers,
which fell over the greater portion Of
the western Mississippi valley yester-
day, has done much toward gladdening
the downcast heart of the farmer. Up
to late last night only two Of the five
Illinois weather stations report rain, but
the rain area is now moving eastward,
and the country where the crops most
require it is receiving the benefit Of
some showers. Milwaukee was visited
with a severe thunderstorm and had the
highest rainfall recorded, LOS inches.
Kansas City, where rain was greatly
needed for the corn and oats, had
thunderstorm and a rainfall of 40 inch.
Springfield, Mo-, light thunderstorm
and rainfall of Ia inch, in district
suffering greatly from the drouth. In
Marquette, where 1t was much required,
there was a rainfall of 40 inch. Except
on the southeast Atlantic coast, no rain
was reported east of Chicago.

TO THE GRADUATES.
A Few Days More o: School and Then
What?

We wish the graduates of 1895 at the
high school and at Kemper Hall God
speed. When in the course of human
events it becomes necessary for boy
or girl to graduate they are expected to
do something philosophical, sentiment
al, heroic or otherwise. 1t is a time for
mingled joy and gladness. Perhaps
you never thought to feel sad at leav-
ing school, after sitting for years on
hard seats, when you longed to be out
fishing or riding bikes, or listening to
the merry Whiz of the base ball Whirl-
ing through the air. How the boys
have shivered with dread when the cir
Gus bills were posted, for fear they mus t
remain in school when the clowns en-
tered the ring. Dear graduates, can
you realize that you can soon chew gum
without having it snatched from you
and throwed out of the window 9 That
you can whisper to the girls without
being reprimanded, and that you can
90 to the window without being ex-
cused when the band passes by? Can
you realize that next year when the
school bell rings you can tell the young
er generation how you used to go with
out buckWheat cakes and coffee in or
der to "get there?" Seriously, it
takes the average graduate but a short
time to realize that the diploma he has
so long looked forward to is powerless
in itself to avail him aught. 1t is the
sign rather than the substance and on
" what has been stored in the mind
can be used. The trouble with many
graduates is that in the pursuit of
study they drift into another world,
mentally speaking, and when they en-
ter the practical world it takes them
some time to find where they are at.
The world is the great school. A
course of study cannot teach every
thing; but it assists the student to at
tack his real tasks.
