The matter was reported to the sher-
iff's office on Saturday morning and the
same afternoon Deputies Al White and
Guy Woodward went down to Glendale
to try and pick up the trail of the depre-
dators.
1t appeared that the Davis family were
absent at the time of the burglary, hav-
ing come 10 the city. The articles stolen
were contained in a jewel case which
ordinarily stood on Mrs. Davis dress
ing table. Inasmuch as a large silk
handkerchief and that days paper had
also disappeared, it is surmised that the
thief or thieves turned the contents of
the jewel case into the handkerchief and
then packed it nicely in the paper. The
itemized list of the stolen articles was
as follows: A gold ring set with a black
onyx stone three gold brooches, two
gold rings, one set with large pearl;
two silver watches, three watchguards,
one of gold, one silver and one silk; q
heavy scarf ring set with pearls and ru-
bies, a gold ring with a large ruby and
surrounded by seed pearls, three sets of
gold sleeve'links, one set of gold studs
and several unmounted stones.
The thieves went through every trunk
wearing apparel, did not trouble to take
1t away. The GOODNESS displayed may
be realized, however, when it is stated
that upon finding bunch of keys in one
Of the drawers the watch key appended
was removed and the bunch then tossed
back again into the drawer.
Some investigation on the part of the
sheriff's deputies revealed some suspi-
cious circumstances Almost opposite
the Davis place a man by the name of
Preston has small place. He engages
himself in making fancy articles out of
abalone shells and peddling them about
the country. 1t was found that for a
week he had had a trampish looking
individual living with him, and this fell
low was seen vending his way, shortly
after the time the burglary must have
been committed, along the Eagle Rock
road in the direction of Pasadena. This
Individual returned, however, to Glen
dale yesterday and was placed under ar
rest and brought to this city. A search
of his person revealed nothing of value
He gave his name as Charles McGlone
and stated that he had been to the ranch
of the Farming and Milling company
near Burbank over a week go, and was
then told that in about week or eight
days from five to eight men would be
needed at each ranch to help in cutting
barley. In the interim he stated that
he had stopped with Preston until Sat
urday, when he came to the city to make
preparations for going to work. When
arrested in West Glendale yesterday he
said he was on his way to the ranch 10
see if the job promised was ready for
him to start in upon it.
That is about all there is to the story
up to date, but unless the jewelry has
been cached it is quite probable that
the articles themselves may serve as a
clue later.

GREEN GOODS SWINDLE
An Attempt to Bunco the Mayor by
an Old Device

Mayor M. P. Snyder has a new, crisp
one-dollar note which he will probably
donate to charity Several days ago
his honor received, through the mails,
one of those seductive green goods cir
culars, in which he was offered an op-
portunity to make money by purchasing
counterfeit greenbacks, which could not
be told from the genuine, al a ridicu-
lously low figure. The communicat ton
was tossed into the waste basket, and
nothing more was thought about it un-
til yesterday, when a second letter was
received, enclosing telegraphic order
blank and a sample of the goods in the
shape of brand new one-dollar note.
The bill was pronounced by experts to
be genuine. The letter was not ad,-
dressed to Mr. Snyder, but simply under
his initials. His honor cannot tell how
the fakirs came to get his name, or why
he was singled out, but supposes that his
name was sent in by some address
agency" of which there are dozens in
the country. During the past few weeks
number Of well known citizens have
received these circulars in their mail
but so far as known Mr.. Snyder is the
only one who has received a genuine bill

EXAMINATION FOR PERJURY
Mrs. Martins Sworn Statements
Cause Her Trouble

Mrs M. L. Martin was in Justice Nor
rison's court yesterday morning for ex-
animation on a charge of perjury. Re-
Gently she had three little girls arrested
and testified that she had seen them
throwing tin cans over the fence into her
back yard. At the trial several witness
es swore that Mrs. Martin was not near
the house at the hour when she testified
to seeing the little ones committing the
heinous offense mentioned. The three
defendants were discharged and Mrs.
Martin was then arrested for perjury.
a Mrs. Hendig also swore to the same
statements as Mrs. Martin. A warrant
was issued for her arrest, but when an
officer went to serve it at the address
which she had given during the trial no
such person was to be found. This was
several days ago, and although sharp
lookout has been kept for her she has
not yet been apprehended. Both these
women gave evidence at the Hastings
trial which the defense maintained was
perjured. The case against Mrs. Mar
tin before Justice Morrison was contin-
ued until today.

SUIT FOR INTEREST
An Aged Widower Seeks to Recover
From His Wife's Estate

A petition was filed in Department
Two of the Superior Court today by the
attorneys of ]. F. Twichell, praying that
the interest on the sum of $4,000, due
from bequest made by Mrs. Mary A.
Twichell in her last will to her husband,
the petitioner, be paid, and the sum
designed be segregated and set apart
for the use and maintenance of Twichell
pere.
Mrs. Twichell died in December, 1891
She stiplated in her will that the inter-
est on the above named amount of
money should be paid semi-annually to
her surviving husband, as long as he
should remain single. Since January,
1896, no interest has been paid, accord
ing to the allegations of the husband
and he now seeks to have the admins
tratrix cited to show cause why the
amount is withheld from him.
Mr. Twichell is an old man and claims
to need the money and that he is justly
entitled to it, for the reason that he has
obeyed his dead wife's injunction not
to marry again under penalty of losing
the interest she bequeathed to him.

ified in slight degree the judgment Of the

Defendant Mulford was the president
and defendant De Burn the secretary
of the beard of education at San Diego,
On April q, 1891, the plaintiff presented
the board a bill for certain services.
and thereupon motion was carried tina.
the bill, amounting to $50, be paid, and
accordingly warrant was drawn for
that sum on the treasurer of the city,
the custodian of the city school funds
designated by the terms of the city
charter. Payment was refused for the
reason that by the general law, to
which the charter provisions are SUBJ
ject, the county treasury is the proper
repository for such funds.
In passing upon the several issues
raised the supreme court holds that it
was error to include interest in the man

judgment be modified in this respect,
and thus modified is affirmed.

INSTRUMENTATION GOES
The Supreme Court Rules Upon the
Long Beach Case

decision has been received from thu
supreme court in the case of w. H.
Mintzer, respondent VS.. w. Schilling e..
al, appellants, carried on appeal from
this county, wherein the validity of the
Long Beach disincorporation is passe6
upon.
Long Beach is municipal corpora
ton Of the sixth class, in which class
are included all cities having less than
5000 inha bitants. The defendants COM
posed the board of trustees of the town
which board is the legislative body of
the corporation. An election having
been called to pass upon the matter of
disincorporating the majority of the
votes cast were in favor of the measure.
The board of trustees, however, refused
to canvass the returns, as required by
the statute, and proceedings in mandam-
us to compel them to do so were insti-
tuted. The trial court awarded the writ
as prayed for.
THE chief contention" says the su-
preme court. sis that the act of March
&c, 1895, conflicts with the constitutional
provision against special legislation. II
is said that the act might have beer
made to apply to all classes of munich
Pdi coi poi dtlols dS Well as 10 the SIKH
only, and hence that it violates the clause
of the constitution prohibiting the pass
age of local or special laws. 1t seems
TO us that the question is hardly open
to debate; 1t is very apparent that a
mode of disincorporation intimately af..
fects the organization of municipality;
the method provided by the statute Is
strictly an organic, as distinguished
from a functional process, and it is set :
tied that in matters pertaining to the
The herald., 1897-06-22


Organization Of municipal corporations
the legislature may make different pro-
visions for the different classes thereof.
We think the statute was within ths
power of the legislature to enact.
1T seems to be the contention Of ap-
pellants that a petition under the act
must pray directly and specifically for
disincorporation in order to authorize
any action by the board of trustees. and
not merely for a submission of the ques-
ton to the vote of the electors. But the
provision of the statute is for a sub
mission of that question upon receiving
a petition therefor The petition here
and the allegation thereof in the plain
tiff's complaint were sufficient in that
respect"
In concluding the court holds that the
trial court properly granted the writ
and the judgment is affirmed.

NOT THIS TIME
A Motion for Alimony, Etc, Denied
to Mrs. Farnsworth

Mrs. Jessie NJ. Farnsworth, who has
forsaken the home of her husband and
is living with her father, is desirous of
having a divorce. The couple were
married at Seattle in 1891, and two chill
dren have resulted from the union
When they came to Los Angeles it was
Mrs. Farnsworth's money that paid for
the home on lot II, block B, in Moore &
Kelleher's subdivision, and also set the
husband up in the coal, wood and feed
business, on East First street.
But Mr.. Farnsworth, the wife claims,
developed Incorporate habits, and also
was insanely jealous. He not only
made a more or less constant habit of
coming home intoxicated, but accused
his wife of running around with other
men. In the presence of the children he
applied opprobious epithets to her, and
things reached a climax when he struck
her and otherwise maltreated her.
Mrs Farnsworth yesterday went be-
fore Judge Shaw on motion that she be
allowed $50 alimony, $50 for costs and
$3.50 for attorneys fees. But the motion
was denied

to his guilt in embezzling several hun

it is doubtful if he can be punished for
any Of these offenses. Yesterday 1t was

An Appeal Decided

Among the opinions received by the
supreme court yesterday is that of the
Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, re-
spondent, VS.. the Pacific Railway Com
pany, appellant. The appeal relates
chiefly to the personal liability of the
Pacific Railway Co. to pay certain
bonds given as security for an issue of
bonds of the Pacific Railway Co. The
court below made findings on which fol-
lowed certain provisions of the judg-
ment to the effect that the bonds were
the lawful obligations of the company,
and if the available proceeds of sale of
the incumbered property, subject to a
lien of former mortgage for a large
sum should be insufficient to discharge
the sum due on the bonds the company
should pay the amount of the deficiency.
Judgment affirmed.

A MIXED OWNERSHIP
A Macy Street Saloon Man With a
Varying Proprietorship

terday. The case is one wherein the
plaintiff is seeking to recover liquor
bill
Gibbons obtained license to carry on
a saloon on Macy street and C. A. Culp
ran it. The tradespeople furnished sup
plies of different kinds on the suppos;-
ton that it was Gibbons saloon, but
when they went to collect they were told
that Culp was the proprietor.
This was the status of the case when
the saloon got burned down. In court
Gibbons obtained the license simply as
an accommodation to Culp, and the lat
ter corroborated his statement. Yester-
day, however, testimony was forthcom-
ing that in supplementary proceedings
held some time ago. against Culp, he
testified that the saloon belonged to
Gibbons and the latter acknowledged
ownership. The case is badly tangled
and was taken under advisement.
