Oil Notes

A telegram was yesterday sent to San
Francisco for a section of four-inch
suction hose, which is to be used at Re-
dondo to facilitate the loading Of oil
from the cars into the tank vessel
Enoch Talbot. Some delay has been ex-
perieneed by the many joints and turns
in the del livery pipe retardfng the flow
of oil. The hose will do away with this
and enable the train to get away on its
return trip to the city on time. About
twenty carloads have already been
placed on board and ten cars go down
this morning.

DISBANDlNG THE PARADE
Merchants on Spring. From First to Temple,
Have q Grievance

Many of the merchants doing busi-
ness on Spring between First and Tenn
pie streets express their displeasure
with the route of the big Fiesta parade
as laid down by the committee They
have addressed to that body a protest,
a copy of which follows:
We, the undersigned merchants and
subscribers to the Fiesta fund in the
block between First and Temple strets
most emphatically object to the route
laid down by the Fiesta committee, to
having the parade disband at First
street and passing Spring between First
and Temple, at the tail-end of the line
and request your committee to change
the route and line of march so that
the block between First and Temple on
Spring will not be unjustly discrimi-
mated against. We would respectfully
suggest that the line of march be
changed SO that the procession proceed
northerly to Temple street. We fur
ther believe that by changing the route
as herein suggested there would be
more satisfaction to the merchants and
general public.

RULING AS TO PEES
Justice Owens to Be Mnndamused on His SIS
Fee Order

Considerable comment has recently
been caused among certain attorneys
over the recent action of Justice Owens
in requiring a deposit of SIS on the filing
of every civil suit. This was done for
the reason that under the old system,
whereby 81 was paid on the filing of
the complaint and So when the case was
tried, it often happened that the last
payment was forgotten or neglected to
be put up, thus leaving numbers of cases
still on the docket where costs are yet
due, and likely to remain so. To obvi-
ate this the IS rule was adopted. If the
case is disposed of without coming to
trial the balance is refunded; if it Is ad-
judicated by the court, the fees are sure
to be paid,
1t is held by certain lawyers that this
method is Illegal and that the law sim
ply requires deposit of 81. w. X.
Dial, an attorney, the other day tend
cred this sum to commence suit, which
was refused by both Justice owens and

ALWAYS ANOTHER SIDE
And In the Berlin Matter II IL Here
Presented

Yesterdays issue of the Herald un-
der the heading Berlin exonerated con-
tained what practically was the state
ment of Z. T.. Berlin, who was some
little time ago arrested, charged with
ernbczzlement, and upon hearing dis
charged. The following communica-
ton signed by Parker & Gottschalk,
real estate men. regarding the matter.
has been received, and only shows that
there are invariably two sides to every
case:
Editor Herald: In your issue Of this
date under the heading Berlin exoner-
ated," referring to the arrest and trial
of B. R. Berlin for mortgaging property
already mortsaged and pledged, which
was tried before Judge Morrison on
April 18th, your reporter was either not
present at the said trial. or you were
misinformed by interested parties. For
the sake of justice we beg leave to in
form you of the true facts in the case
and refer you to the records of Judge
Morrison's court for the corrobOration
of every detail. In October. 1895, we
had the pleasure of being introduced to
Mr.. Berlin by a mutual friend, Mi. F. T..
Binford, who informed us that Mr.. Ber-
lin was q gentleman, a man of honor,
etc, who was financially embarrassed
and desired a loan. The said loan
was entirely out of our regular line,
but upon the earnest and pathetic So
lcitation Of Mr.. Berlin we made the
same. accepting, among widely scat
tered security. some household furni-
ture. The loan was made on October
23d, 1895, and although due in three
months after date, is not paid in full
to the present writing. The house,
hold furniture, again at the pathetic
cntreaty of Mr.. Berlin, we allowed to
remain in his possession. Two months
after the note became due, and having
meanwhile relied exclusively upon the
honor and integrity of Mr.. Berlin to
make good his promise, we decided to
take the matter into our own hands.
We found that on February Sth, 1895,
he had mortgaged the said furniture.
giving bill of sale, to Mr.. G. NJ. Jones,
having previously removed the same
from his house to the Van Storage Co.
without informing or notifying as of
this fact. His bill of sale to us, the
evidence of Mr.. Jones and the Van
Storage Co., conclusively and entirely
established this. However, it appears
that the penal code of California, at
least in the opinion of Judge Morrison,
while declaring it a crime to cucumber
property already mortgaged without
notification, and including hotel and
lodging house furniture, yet fails to in
clude household furniture, and upon
this legal technicality the judge in
structed the jury that under the law
it could not convict. So plain was the
evidence, however, and so conclusive
the testimony establishing Berlin's
double dealing, that in spite of the in
structions Of the judge, the jury consid-
cred the matter for more than an hour
before they returned their verdict, and
even. then it was reluctantly given. The
offense was committed and proven, the
property lnortgaged to us and secured
by bill of sale. and was without our
knowledge and consent remortgaged

For Indecent Exposure

A party giving his name as John Ken
die was arrested yesterday evening or
Flower street by Officer Holleran and

posture of person. Kendle appears to
be an honest and hard-working man
and said that his arrest was terrible
mistake. He claimed to be only ad-
justing his clothing when some little
children saw him. There was no inde-
cent exposure in any manner. Parties
in the neighborhood claim that Kendle
has been hanging around the vicinity
and that the children were confronted
by the man in an indecent manner

POLITICAL POINTS.
Timely Gossip on the Condition of
Things in Maryland-Demo-
Gratis Have an Easy Thing.

The Sunday Herald says: Demo
Gratis in the cities and counties appear
to be very well pleased with the politi-
cal situation in the State. They are
not doing a great deal of talking, but
they find themselves quite busy taking
notes. Their Republican brethren.
both at the City Hall and at the State
House, continue to furnish them with
plenty of ammunition, all of which is
duly stored away for the next cam
paign.
zone thing is very plain: The old
time party spirit is again taking pos
session of the Democratic masses.
Events here and at Annapolis have
come very near demonstrating how
Utopian is the "non- partisan admins
tration," as yet. 1t may be very pretty
in theory, but are the people yet pre-
pared for it? is a question that many
a good citizen has put to himself dur
ing the past few months.
"Non-partisau administrations were
promised by the Republican standard
bearers last fall. Have those promises
been fulfilled? Was it possible to keep
them under existing circumstances?
SIT is astonishing how many voters
who have heretofore gloried that they
were "independent Democrats" have
been seeking any and every opportu-
nifty to assure their neighbors and
friends that henceforth they must be
classed as straightout ''regulars." The
party instinct has been aroused in
them, and you may expect to see them
voting at the next Democratic primary
election-the very best evidence of
their interest III their party's affairs.
and the surest way of rectifying abuses
of party management.
Meantime the old Democratic lead
ers are allowing things to take their
course. Any man who thinks that
they can be entirely eliminated knows
very little about political conditions.
