The New Term Applied to the
Police Force
COUNCILMEN ARE WRATHY
Official Noti:e Is Taken OF Some
Rampant Rumors
President Teed and His Colleagues Vehemen-iy
Deny Anything I'm proper In the Purchase
of the Central Prison Site

The alleged suspected job in the matter
of the purchase of the site upon which it
is proposed to erect new central police
station came up officially in the proceed
ings of the city council yesterday morn
ing. The Hays $500 forfeiture bond prop
sition had no sooner been disposed of
by the adoption of the finance commit
tees report in the premises, than Presi-
dent Teed, calling to the chair Coun Gil
man Munson, made his way to the fl oor.
and after first reading The Herald's local
intimations published on Tuesday, he
called attention to the editorial printed
yesterday. whicn was also read in full.
Mr.. Teed began by stating that the
rumors published broadcast have been
made in such manner as to compel
official attention. lie referred sarcastical-
ly to the police force. some the members
of which had evidently given out the in
formation printed. characterizing the
force as that nest on Second street"
Mr.. Teed thought that the council was
thoroughly competent to select the site
proposed. and would do so to the best OF
its ability. and the insinuations published
we're anything but fair.
The president Of the council declared
that he had visited Chief Glass, who had
promised him to investigate the matter
and to punish the authors of the rumors.
He President Teed himselft would also
appear before the next meeting of the
police commissioners, and have the
rumors circulated sifted to the bottom
and their crculators punished. Mr.. Teed
eulogized Mr. dc Camp, whose property
was stated to be the jobbing site to be
chosen, to whom the president of the
council referred as lifelong friend and
gentleman OF honor who would no more
be party to anything dishonerable or
underhanded than would he, Teed, him.
self.
Councilman Pessel, Snyder, Kingery
and Savage also made remarks upon the
subject. tile latter stating that he is
chairman or the land committee to whom
all the bids hao been referred. and in
spite of that fact he has not yet even seen
the bids for any of the proposed sites.
Then the incident ended so far as the coun-
Gil was concerned and an adjournment to
2 o clock was taken,
At the afternoon session the ordinance
granting to the Pacific Oi! Refining COM
pany 25-vear franchise to run a pipe
line on Seventh street to the river was
referred to the board of public works.
When the council adjourned it was TO 2
o'clock this afternoon.

THE SEWER COMM ITTEE
Regular Weekly Recomm .ndations nade to
Cnmncil

Council
The sewer committee of the council at
it's regular weekly meeting yesterday
heard the following report, to be submitted
to the council next Monday:
In the matter of the petition from J.
E. Murray and others in reference to con-
nectons with the sewer in the alley run
ming along the south line OF properties
fronting on lngraham street. between Kip
and Bixel street, we recon mmend that the
matter be referred to the street superin-
tendent with in struction to issue no per.
init to parties to connect with the sewer
constructed until such property owners
have paid their proportonate amount of
the cost OF said sewer, and that when so
pa d the money be divided p.o rata
among the ten property owners who have
been assessed for this sewer.
We recommend that all the proposals
for the construction of the Maple avenue
sewer, between Jefferson street and a point
twenty.f five feet north OF the south line of
lot I, block G, Martin tract, be rejected
and that the city clerk be instructed to
readvertise for bids for the same. The
proposals AS received for the work per
llneal foot are as follows: D.. A. Watson
So cents; Frick Bros, Il cents; ]. Il.
White, 80 cents. and M. Zurettl. S6l5
cents. Frick Bros. are the lowest bid

Gently incurred an expense of over 500
for reconstruc.ing the Hollenbecll AFRO 5o
sewer and as Frick Bros. were the con-
tractors for d portion of the work on
which these repairs were found to be
necessary. we recommend that nc more
contracts be awarded to them until they
reimburse the city for the repairs on their
portion of the work.
An intimation was given out during the
meeting of the committee, when the last
paragraph in the report came up for adop-
ton. that if the council came down too
harshly upon Frick Bros that firm might
take a hand and have the search light Of
investigation turned upon other cor trac-
tors for a similar purpose.

THE FINE HORSES LEAVING
Though Agricultural Park Still Has Some
Fine Trotters
and Will Continue to Make This
Their Winter Quarters

Now that the racing season is drawing
near and the sun is shining warmly over
the east all the horses are leaving win ter
quarters in Los Angeles to journey across
the plains to earn their oats.
Last Monday Dan Dwycr shipped his
four horses east, his string comprising
Almo j.. 2:lSA; Grey Jim, 2:22la; and
Majestic and Queen of Diam onds. the
latter untried. They went to Flint,
Mich, where he will start the season.
On the same train Billy Patterson
shipped two car loads of fine horsefesh,
one for Chicago. the other destined for
New Jersey. Others to leave winter
quarters is the stock of the Village Farm
stables, owned by G. J. Hamlin, with
probably the best driver of the day, E.
+. Geers. at the head of the string. As
will accompany the outfit which will start
on Saturday next.
Mr.. Geers and Mr.. N lies both speak we'll
OF Los Angeles and say that without
doubt they will bring their horses here
again next fall. The stable comprises
such horses as Robert j.. 2:01M; Fantasy,
2:O6; Hal Pointer, 2:04: Nightingale, 2:10;
and several others which are fast but
untried.
Wednesday Robert j., driven by Fred
Niles, and Hal Pointer driven by E. +.
Geers, were given a mile in 2091a, going
together like team and working easy.
Fantasy, driven by Geer, and Moon
stone. driven by Niles, worked mile in
2:l3H.
Nightingale driven by Niles, and Atne-
ma, driven by Geers. were given slow mile
in 2:14%. The rest of the horses were
also given slow miles, showing themselves
to be in good shape.
Lovers of horsetlesh would not miss
anything by taking trip to Agricultural
park and taking look at these great
horses. Never was there such gather
ing of fast holses at one time in Los An
geles as Robert j.. Joe Patchen,
Allx. Nightingale. Klamath. Azote, Hal
Pointer. Mckinney. Directly. Flying Jib
and Fantasy; and though some of them
have left for the east there are still others
OF as fine horses as America has ever pro-
duced.

DENIED A DIVORCE
Airing Of the Unpleasant Matrimonial Story Of
The Siirts

Airing 0f the Unpleasant Matrimoniai story OF
The Siirts
The divorce suit OF Mrs. Veneranda
Slirt against Leonardo Slrt was tried yes
terday before Judge Van Dyke. The COM
rlaint was somewhat out of the usual run
of causes of action in similar cases. 1t
alleged no statutory grounds. although
the inference is that Mrs. Vcnderanda
Slirt charged extreme cruelty. The diff
ferences of Shirt and his wife were aired
once before in the criminal courts when
the woman had one Vicente Valenzuela
arrested for rape. This case was dis
missed by Justice Young.
The parties to the suit were married in
1880 and have two children. They are all
residents of Santa Monica and OF Mexi-
can descent. The allegations of the plain
tiff are that Slirt entered into conspir-
acy with Valenzuela and others for the
purpose of procuring a divorce from Mrs.
Slirt and the custody of the minor chill
dren. Pursuant to an agreement Valen-
Zuela repaired to the Slirt residence ana
by threatening with pistol the life of
the woman. who was alone with her two
babies, forced her into submission. Slirt
and some other Mexicans who had been
watching Nalenzuela and the woman
through knot holes in the frame walls.
then gained admission to the house:
While most of them took seats and
smoked cigarettes. one of the party was
dispatched for Mrs. Pillar Lugo, the
mother of Mrs. Slirt. When this woman
came Slirt played the part of the outraged
husband and denounced his wife bitterly
to her mother. Later he dismissed his
friends and cordially shook Valenzuela
by the hand or the extreme favor he had
done him of manufacturing testimony
for him in his proposed suit for di-
vorce.
n, Il I-rA ATvo
Slirt's tale, her husband divuged to her
that the Valenzuela episode was part OF a
deep laid plot by which he contem plate d
regaining his liberty and the custody of
the children.
Mrs. Slirt's testimony bore out the allie
cations of the complaint and her mother.
Mrs. Lugo corroborated many OF the Ear
ticulars, but the case was stubbOrnly
fought and The testimony SO conflicting
that Judge Van Dyke denied the divorce.
