LAND AND WATER VALUES
EXPERT TESTIMONY IN THE HEADW0RKS
CONDEM NATION SUIT
Tho Land Worth Abo ut $500 Per Acre, While
the Water IL Valued at $1,000 to $4,000
Per Miners Ire h-Supreme Court Opinion
Received for Filing

The trial of the case of the city OF Los
Angeles VS.. A. E. Pomeroy and John II:
Hooker, a suit to condemn 3O7 acres OF
land on the Providencia rancho for water
works headworks. was continued before
Judge Shaw yesterday.
Almost the entire day was taken up with
the hearing of expert testimony for the de-
PENDANTS as to the value of the land in
question for agricultural purposes, and
also as to the value of the water which it Is
supposed can be developed upon it,
Among the witnesses examined were John
A. PIrtle, Charles M. Parker, James Clark,
w. H. Andrews, Charles German. George
E. franklin, NJ. r. Lopez. +. Bouton, IL.
Nicholas, G. {. Brown and W. N. Monroe:
These gentlemen all practically agreed
that the land was worth for agricultural
purposes about 500 per acre, but few
putting it below that figure. As to the value
of the water that might be developed, that
was variously estimated at from $1,000 to
$4,000 per miners inch.
The city also has number of expert wit
nesses to put on, and these will probably
put their values q great deal lower, as it is
one of the contentious of the city that the
land is practically valueless, except for
the water that may be developed upon it.
The hearing of the case will be continued
tOdpy.

GENERAL MILES ESCAPE.
His Close Call From Serious Acci-

His Close Call From Serious Acci-
dent on the Cliff House Road.
Coming in from the Cliff House yester-
day afternoon Major General Miles and
wife and Colonel A. S. Kimball and wife
narrowly escaped a serious accident. They
were in an open carriage drawn by two
horses, coming down the hill toward the
Park and Ocean Railroad, when one of the
horses began rearing and kicking. The
carriage pole was broken and the driver
was thrown from his place and run over.
The horses started to run, but no one
jumped from the carriage. The team was
checked by men in the vicinity before the
horses had Iun fifty yards. The broken
carriage was left at the scene of the mis-
hap and the party boarded the cars for the
Palace Hotel. The driver was somewhat
bruised, but not dangerously hurt.
The team belongs TO the United Carriage
Company, and the pole had recently been
strengthened with a view to averting ac-
cidents of this character. The good be-
havior of one of the horses probably
averted serious runaway.
General Miles and party left the City on
the evening train for Los Angeles.

o02 Rroad UaV Sent 3d.

90S Broadway, Sept. 81.
Thomas Pearson, the leading factor in
the organization OF the Colored Folks
Home at Beulah, has been removed from
his position as landscape gardener in
LAFAYETTE Park, and William Delaney.
another coIored man, has been appointed.
Serious trouble has resulted, the more
serious, inasmuch as the ladies have de-
clared their determination to stand by
Pearson in the hour OF his distress.
The change in the gardenership of pub
lie square, although it precipitated the
present unrest in the race, is the smallest
element to be considered. 1t has troubled
colored society,.s center, has been
clothed with political importance and
large section of the colored people in San
Francisco is also interested in the matter.
For long time there ave been two
wings of local colored society. Pearson
and the Colored Folks Home ladies have
represented one side and Mr.. Wilson,
editor of the Elevator, and Delaney have
.captained the other wing
A short time ago petition was pre-
sented to the Board of Public Works by
the friends OF Mr.. Delaney. stating that
Mr.. Pearson was not representative
man OF the race, and asking that Mr..
Delan be appointed keeper of the cacti
of Lafayette Park. That petition is at
the root of all the trouble. The salary of
the job is altogether insignificant COM
pared to the honor of being 1.-The repre-
sentative man of the race" Whether the
petition had anv weight or not does not
appear on the minute-book of the board,
but the appointment of Delany, vice Pear
son, retired, does appear.
Pearson recently flied his petition with
the County Clerk, and will be placed on the
State ticket as an independent candidate
for the Assembly. This piece OF am bition
on his part is said by his friends to have
caused His downfall. Anyhow, huge
petition is now being circulated by his
friends, and the signatures to it are al
ready over seven feet long. and Pearson
declares that it will be long enough to
stretch from the board room to the park.
Mrs. Cy Jackson is determined that Mr..
Pearson shall be vindieated by the Ladies
Auxiliary of the Colored Folks Home AS
ISOLATION, of which she is a member.
The ladies Will hold a parlor meeting
shortly and decide upon plan to help
Pearson. Meantime, Delaney is training
the cacti, moving the grass and drawing
the warrant as gardener of Lafayette Park.

Urgent Need of a He ping Hand Being

Their Way to Prison.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, /

9OS Broadway, Sept. ~. }
Little Gus From, 10 years of age, was the
center of scene in the Police Court this
morning that caused the lobby to wonder
and murmur. 1t made very plain the
need of place for young children charged
with crime, such as Chief Lloyd referred
to in his recent address to the City Chris
tian Endeavor Union.
The lad was arrested at the instigation
of his mother, who says he is incorriglble
and young thief. Whatever may be the
boys faults. it was very apparent that he
has good side to his nature, and that he
is not so far depraved as to be incapable
of reform.
He was brought into court from the cell
in which he was placed late Monday night,
when he was arrested, and when he saw
his mother sitting in the courtroom he
rushed up to her, and, with tears and sobs,
begged her to take him home and be
would do better.
"Oh, mamma" the child cried, "take
me home again and will be good boy"
You'll have to keep still, said Bailifi
Mitchell. ''or l will take you downstairs"
At the mention of downstairs the child
shuddered and said, between his sobs,
"Oh, mister. will be good If you won't
take me down."
The mother had not sworn to a COM
plaint so the case went over till to-mor-
row. Officer Curtiss had great difficulty
in taking the child away from his m other,
and when at the door leading downstairs
the voice of the unhappy child could be
heard in the courtroom as he cried,
"Please let me go and kiss my mother
good-by," but his request was not granted
and he went downstairs.
There is nothing but cell in the City
Prison for children, no matter why they
are arrested, and even lost child must be
placed in cell till called for, unless some
one can be found to take him or her to a
home. No provision exists for girls who
may not have taken the first downward
step but who may be arrested for vagrancy
because of their companions. To all such
cases Oakland offers criminals cell, and
Chief Lloyd's humanity is touched that il
should be so.
Little From, am told, is quite bad
boy" said Chief Lloyd this afternoon
"but still the prison is no place for him.
/ had him put in the most comfortable
cell, which is all that could be done. Had
he been taken III hand the first time be
was in trouble he might never have done
wrong again. When a child realizes that
he is locked up in common prisoner s
cell the first step toward helping to make
him criminal has been TAKEN"

DIRT CHEAP DELEGATES,
Disreputable Methods of Kelly
and Mahoney at Their
Convention
Strangers Readily Admitted to Vote.
Two.Dollar Men Protest Against
Non.Payment.

Should any doubt remain as to the
fraudulent and illegitimate nature of the
so-called Kelly-Mahoney convention" it
will be set at rest by the revelations that
are coming to light. Volunteers are COM
brazen methods openly used by the SIAM
ese twin bosses of shameless effrontery.
1t is openly admitted that delegates"
were paid 81 night each to sit in the
convention" Pay was good the first
night, but on the second grass was short
and there was growing among "the
push" In fact, there was a movement to
strike and bolt unless the promised pay
ment was made good, but the bosses exc
cuted a mastery flank movement with
steam-beer. Malcontent ringleaders were
beguiled from the hall and mellowed with
amber schooners, and peace was thus
cheaply secured.
An outsider was asked to get nomina-
ton by this convention" for friend.
The man applied to objected on the score
of not being a delegate nor possessing q
proxy. Nevertheless he consented to in
vestigate the possibility.
On arriving at the Auditorium the
stranger was Hospitality received by a
boss, and on explaining his purpose was
welcomed as if it were of ordinary occur
renee.
"But," said the gentleman, ST am not a
delegate and have no proxy!"
Never mind" said the boss. ''go and sit
over in my district delegationr'
The gentleman went over somewhat
timidly, but was reassured by his recep-
ton. While there he was paralyzed by
the shameless manner in which 'delega-
tions," represented by six members, were
voted .'all present."
When nominations for his friend posi-
ton were called for, the pseudo-delegate of
the Forty-fourth mounted the stage and,
placing his friend in nomination, chuckled
to see him nominated by acclamation.
Amy respectable-looking man, delegate
or not, can nominate man here" be was
confidently informed by another "deie.
