Our present -deplerable Industrial and

Whoever may be nominated by this

FIRE COMMISSIONERS.
The Council Asked to Advertise for Bids
for New Truck.

The fire department is to be provided
with a new and improved hook and lad
der truck. There is no question but what
1t is badly needed, as the antiquated ap-
paratus now in use is wholly Inadequate,
and in case of fire in any one of the high
modern buildings erected during the
past few years, would be practically
valueless.
At the meeting of the commissioners
yesterday morning recommendation
was passed, that the city council be re-
Quested to advertise for proposals for
furnishing the department with a hook
and ladder truck, proposals to be opened
October H. The recommendation was
adopted. The chief was instructed to
write to the chiefs of the departments
In all the large cities asking for informa-
tion as the best kind of apparatus to
use.
Acting as special committee appoint
ed by the board to report in the matter
Of creating full fire department for
the city, Commissioner Vetter stated to
p the board that in his judgment it is very
desirable that the present call service
be changed to permanent force. This
Mr.. Vetter said, would add materially to
the expense of conducting the depart
ment, and that it was not practicable
with the funds allowed for the current
year. The report was adopted.
A resolution was adopted expressing
approval of the appearance of the men,
horses and apparatus of the department
at the semi-annual inspection Septem-
ber g.. 81. f-.l.
The application Of A. N. Millspaugh G.
Co. for permission to erect a steam boiler
and engine and to use crude oil in the
Scherer tract, was referred to the chief.
1t was recommended to the council that
the limits of fire district No. be so
changed as to make the northerly line
of the district the center line Of Will
mington street, between First street and
ReQuena street. instead of $50 north of
Wilmington street as at present.

HAYFORD IN JAIL.
The Crooked Attorney Behind the Bars
in San Francisco.

| OF Attorney George Hayford. Of un-
enviable notoriety both in Los Angeles
| and Santa Ana. the San Francisco Ex
aminer of Monday says:
Attorney George Hayford, who rents
an office in the Parott building, has tenn
porarily removed to the city prison. Po-
lice Judge Conlan committed him yes
terday on charge of felony embez-
Element in default of $4,000. AS the iron
door closed behind Mr.. Hayford his shin
ing plug hat and one bright yellow law
book, which he carried under his arm,
impaired to the bastile an unwonted air
of eclat.
The offense with which the lawyer is
charged is made more serious by the
fact that he is alleged to have felonious-
ly embeZZled the last dollar from desti-
tute widow for whom he collected the
money.
Mrs. Susan Cunningham owned a little
home on Gilbert street, which was mort
gagged to Michael Curran. He foreclosed
but agreed to pay the widow certain
sum of money. This amounted to Sl35.
and was collected by Hayford, who acted
as attorney for Mrs. Cunningham and
was to receive fee of $40. According to
the woman's story and the evidence of
other witnesses Hayford paid his client
S5 and kept the balance. Attorneys
G. H. Francoeur and Thomas Curran, to
whom the widow went in her distress,
made several attempts to have Hayford
disgorge. He was rich in promises. but
no coin was forthcoming. In the end
Hayford was arrested, but was released
on his own recognizance by an order
of Judge Daingertield.
At the preliminary examination yes
terday Attorney Francoeur told how he
used his influence to have the payment
raised from SIPS to $135, in order that
Hayford might enjoy fee of $40. Fran
occur also said that he had collected the
money from Michael Curran and had
paid it over to Hayford. When the pros
ecution had finished the defendant ask
ed for a continuance which the judge
promptly refused, as Hayford had been
given two weeks in which to prepare
his defense. He declined to take the
stand in his own behalf, and was COM
mitted to Jail without loss of time. AS
Hayford was unable to find bondsman
he was sent to the county Jail.
