WYATT OF RHDONDO
His EmbezzIement Trial Pending II
Court

His Embezzlement Trial Pending In
Court
Harry Wyatt. the alleged embezzling
Redondo lum herman, was on trial before
Township Justice Young yesterday and
on adj ournment the case went over to this
mornings session. Wyatt is accused of
emnezzling 500 belonging to the Redondo
Lumber company, of which he was said
to have been an agent at the time and
whose lum ber he sold for the 500. This
Wyatt denies. claiming that he was sell
ing the lum er on credit and could dis
pose of it as he pleased. They say, on
the contrary, that he was to have made
weekly cash settlements. They say that
while they were waiting for him to attend
conference they had called he was
down in the lumber yard selling $5U0
worth of lum ber for 5000 and therefore
they Enabled" him.
The contention. as it stands. hinges on
a question as TO whether Wyatt was the
owner of the lumber or only the COM
pany's agent. 1t has not been shown that
he received money, and on the face of the
case, they must prove that Wyatt re-
ceived money or the court will have to
dismiss the case and charge him with re-
ceiving the lumber Improperly and dis
posing of it.

EQUALIZING CITY TAXES
The Board Of Equalization Finally Gets
TO Work
The Assessments Of Several Property Owners
Reduced-No Citations as Yet
Issued

The board OF equalization yesterday re-
duced the city taxes OF HIP. Ernest from
$3.50 to $400. The assessment of H. Znber
was reduced from 1888 to $76O. The as
sessment of II. Kaiser was reduced from
$75 to $25. The assess ment of H. Kruse of
lots in the Wolfskill tract was reduced
from $500 to $3.50 each. The assessment of
personal property belonging to Mrs. NJ.
Sanders was reduced from $415 to S115.
The assessment OF ]. Neltlammer on lot
II, Clark g. Bryan tract, was reduced
from $3.50 to $3.50. The petition to reduce
the assessment of s. +. Crawford on lots
and 6 block A, Angeleno Heights tract,
was denied.
The most important case presented yes
terday was that of the owner of the prop
erty on the northeast corner of Broadway
and Franklin street. who asked that his
assessment reduced from $16.900 to. $15,-
600. The bvard will consider the petition
today. This property was recently offered
the city as O site for the central police
station, the price asked being $4,000.
Tho board has issued no notifica tion
to property owners to come before it and
show cause why their assessments should
not be raised. This has always been GUS
tomary in past years. and the city's rev.
enue is al u result usually increased by
thousands of dollars AS the estimated
revenues are this year over $40, 600 short
of the estimated expenditures. some
drastic measures will have to be adopted
by the council to make both ends meet.

COMPANIES AND CAR TENDERS.

No Action Taken by the COmmi isSion-
crs to Enforce Their Recent Order.
Although it was generally understood that
the Commissioners would proceed against
the railroad companies today for non-com-
pliance with their order of several days ago
requiring them to equip their cars with ap-
proved tenders by June 1, nothing was
done. Yesterday afternoon the attorney for
the District was asked whether If a rail-
road company equipped its cars with fend-
ers and not with wheel guards it would be
liable TO prosecution. His opinion was that
the law contemplated both tenders and
wheel guards, and unless the cars were
equipped with both the road operating them
would be liable for failure to comply with
the law.
1t was stated at police headquarters that
the police had not been notified to proceed
against the companies, and Inspector Brad
shaw, who has charge of the railroad mat
ters, received no detail to look after the
cars today.
This afternoon the Commissioners wit
messed, at the corner of 18th and New York
avenue. trial of the Smith fender and
wheel guard placed on the Columbia rail-
road. They expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the showing. The fender has
already been approved by the Commission
ers, but they have heretofore insisted that
all cars should have projecting net in
front of the car. 1t Is understood that pro-
ceedings will be instituted against the rail-
road companies Monday.
