DOUBLE TEAMS ARE NEEDED
Why the Patrol Wagons Cannot Re
spond to Long Distant Calls


The need of a double team for the po-
lice patrol wagons has long been ap-
parent to the members of the depart
ment, and Chief Glass in his annual
reports has on several occasions called
attention to it. The horses at present
in use are large, heavy and slow moving,
besides being well along in years, and
if called upon to go upon hurry call.
show manifest signs of distress by the
time the station is reached. In fact the
"hurry-up" wagon Is a misnomer for
the present patrol vehicles.
Am incident which occurred a few
days ago illustrates the necessity for a
new team for each wagon, and shows to
what inconvenience the department is
put at times. Assistant Chief Ed Smith
of the fire department was over on Boyle
Heights about a week ago on business.
and while driving along espied a police
officer wrestling with an obstreperous
drunk He stopped and inquired the
cause of the trouble.
The officer said that he had arrested
the man over half hour previously, and
had telephoned to headquarters for the
patrol wagon. 1t had not arrived and
his prisoner was giving him no end Of
trouble While Smith was talking Off
Ger McOluTe Cdlllc W TIC opOe, ia iH 3
been sent over to assist his comrade II
necessary. Mcclure was asked why the
wagon had not been sent as requested,
and replied that Driver Cox, known
around the station as assistant chief.
had said that it was too far to go. and
he had been sent instead to assist in
getting the prisoner aboard car and
thence to the Jail.
1t has been generally supposed that
the patrol wagon was to answer all
calls from whatever part of the city they
may come, as the old horses are in
capable of standing the seve~e work re-
quired of them and are apparently but
little better than nothing at all.

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
Sheriff Burr Lands William Moore Be
hind the Bars.

Sheriff John Burr made trip to San
Fernando, his home, yesterday, but his
visit was one of business, not pleasure.
When he returned in the afternoon he
had in custody a man named William
Moore, who is said to be wanted in Napa
for murder. Moore had been captured
by w. b. Shang of the valley town, who
telegraphed the sheriff to come up and
surrendered his prisoner to him.
AS soon as he had placed Moore safely
in Jail, Mr. Burr telegraphed to the Of
ficials up north and in reply it was stat
ed that Moore was badly wanted and to
hold him. There is large reward offer
ed for his capture, but the details of the
crime for which he is wanted were not
learned.

On motion of Supervisor Hay, the tax
levy was declared at $11O for the fiscal

This low rate, a reduction of 80 cents
under last years rate, has been made
possible by the action of the state board

ty of $14,0000 900 in excess of last year: :;

his annual report, and reported the fol-

the last meeting of the association: S.
B. Black, chairman; John II. Pearce,
secretary; j. Z. Stone. treasurer and

$142.44, expenditures $3.50, cash on hand
$9664.
The report of the sexton showed that
ending August %, five family lots at So

There is no American. dead or living,

hearts of the people, or whose memory
is held with more sacred affection, than
General Robert E. Lee. All on this
side of the wiped out but never-to- be-

him !; but there is still much of his
history and that of bis family and his
ancestors that has never yet been told.
On this account the COURIER is pleased
to note the announcement of FrauiS
Leslie's Popular Monthly regarding the
series of notable Lee papers that begin
in the February issue. The first is "The
Ancestors of General Robert E. Lee
and tho Times in Which They Lived" by
Mrs. Judge Roger A. Pryor. of New
York. The whole series, beginning
with the earliest colonial times down to
the present date, will be enriched with
numerous portraits and illustrations of
special interest, heretofore imprinted.
and large speaking Iikness in water
colors of General Lee. Altogether
these articles will form valuable ad-
dition to the history of the great men
of the nation.
