Harpham instituted suit to recover from
Mrs. Rosa l.. Whitmore the sum of $1,000
for legal services rendered at her in
stance and request between April 1,
1895. and June of this year.
1t is to determine the equity of this
claim that the court was intent yester-
day.
Mrs. Whitmore is not prepared to
yield up $1,000 without having her say in
the matter. That lady claims that on
| December 6, 1898, her father, George +.
Foster, died, leaving an estate in Los
then firm of Knight& Simpson to assist
her in the administration of the estate.
At later date G. e. Harpham became
identified with the law firm.
Mrs. Whitmore charges that her legal
advisers made costly mistake in con-
Quoting the affairs of her fathers estate,
nasmuch as they procured an order for
the application of defendant as admin
istratrix without having filed petition
in her behalf or having given notice of
any application as required by law. The
affairs of the estate were carried on and
the mistake was not discovered until the
time had almost arrived for the final dis
tribution. When the fact regarding what
had been done. and also what had been
left undone became known to Mrs. Whit
more she was mad. She complained to
the attorneys of the trouble and expense
she and the estate had been made to suf-
fer and the confusion likely to arise as
to the titles to the property belonging to
the estate, and for which orders of sale
had been made. An intimation was Civ
en- to the fam of attorneys that Mrs.
Whitmores business would be with
drawn from them, but to this they de-
INJURED. They begged her to reconsider
her determination and in consideration
Of her still leaving her business with
them an agreement was entered into by
the terms of which knight & Harpham
promised to pay all extra costs arising
from this carelessnesS, and furthermore,
when the affairs of the estate were
closed and the Administrative received
her discharge she should herself fix what
she thought would be reasonable COM
pensation.
Mrs Whtmore now alleges that the
extra costs of administering her tather S
estate amounted to $154, and as the at
torneys never have paid one cent of this
amount, she determined to allow them.
IN the exercise of her prerogatives con-
ferred upon her by the agreement no
compensation beyond the sum of $1lO.
which the firm had at that time already
received.
The lady also takes exception to two
sums charged by Knight Il Harpham.
The first is a claim of $3.50 alleged to be
due for services rendered in connection
with libel suit threatened by Mr.
Russell last year. Mrs. Whitmore some
what contemptuousiy claims htat the
services alluded to consisted merely Of
writing letter, for which it was under
stood no charge should be made, and
which, in any case, was not worth any
such amount as $3.50.
second letter written by Knight &
Harpham in connection with certain
contemplated divorce proceedings, and
for which 500 was charged. is also re-
pudiated by the plaintiff in the suit.

ecuting their own case while ]. G. Ros-
sitter and Ben Goodrich represent the
interests of Mrs. Whitmore.

FUTURE OF LOS ANGELES
Destined to Become the Chicago of the
Pacific Coast
What a Standard Oil Magnate Thinks
of Southern California and Its
Prospects-His Investments.

This is country of wonderful unda-
veloped resources" said j. H. Flagler,
the millionaire Standard Oil man of New
York, at the Westminster yesterday.
california, and Southern California in
particular, is only in it's infancy, and
Los Angeles being the commercial CEN
ter of all this great region is undoubt'
edly destined to become the Chicago Of
the west. The same conditions whicn
combined to make Chicago whae it is to-
day obtain to a great extent here. San
Diego has the advantage of good
seaport, it is true, but Los Angeles has
gained start in the commercial world
that she will never lose. 1t is now tha
acknowledged metropolis and CONNER
cial center of Southern California. The
wealth necessary to build city is here,
and the citizens do not lack in push ami
energy"
Continuing, Mr.. Flagler said: There
has never been city that has grown 10
any Importance that has not had natural
resources back of it sufficient to keep it
alive. Los Angeles does not lack ii this
respect The fertility of the soil is such
that the country can always be Self-Sup-
porting"
Mr.. Flagler has recently purchased a
150-acre lemon orchard at South River
side. He feels confident that lemons
are going to be a profitable investment
especially If restrictive tariff can be
placed on foreign shipments of this pro-
duction.
Altogether Mr. Flagler is exceedingly
we'll pleased with his first trip to South
ern California. He considers that the
need of a suitable hotel for this city is
very urgent.
Mr.. Flagler thinks that such a hotel
would pay we'll for the money invested.
He expressed surprise that a moneyed
syndicate with sufficient means for car
rying out the enterprise had not been
formed before this. He said that Los
Angeles possessed more life than any
other city in the west that has come
under his observation since leaving New
York
