He Is Charged With Embezzling a
Pair Of Pants

Yesterday afternoon Manuel Reyes
appeared before Justice Owens charged
with embezzling pair of pants. Reyes
Is Mexican and formerly worked in a
tailor shop and cleaning establishment
near the Arcade depot. George Lecour,
German saloonkeeper, brought pair
of trousers to the establishment where
Reyes worked to have them cleaned.
The Mexican prepared the trousers as
instructed, but instead Of returning
them to the owner took them to a sec
ond-hand store on Second street, where
they were sold for 80 cents. Reyes then
departed for Santa Monica, where he

prisoner was captured and brought to
the city Jail. The trousers were valued
at SO and the Mexican will have his

THE OIL SITUATION
A SHUT DOWN TO REDUCE PRO
DUCTION AND RAISE PRICES
Talk Of a Combination or Resuscita-
ton Of the Old Exchange-Nine-
ty-Two Wells Pumping

The majority of the local oil producers
have not receded in the least from their
announced determination to suspend
operations at their wells for thirty days,
in the hope that such action will cause
an advance in prices to or beyond the
dollar mark. If this hope is realized
they anticipate little difficulty in keep
ing up the prices, although the manner
in which they hope to escape a repeti-
tion Of the present state of affairs has
not been announced. All of the wells
in. the oil district have not suspended
operations, there being ninety-two
pumping at the present time. The oper
alton of these will not affect the efforts
Of the others, however, because most of
them belong to companies that consume
their own product and therefore do not
enter into competition Of the general
trade. The following is list of the wells
that have not closed down: Scott Il
LOTUS, wells; Union Oil company A
wells; R. A. Fowler, old Libby plant,
10 wells; Hoffman & Weller. wells;
Los Angeles Electric company, wells;
Iona Oil company, 4 wells; j. ]. Nor
gan II wells; Bennett & Maurett. 8
wells; C. M. Matthay, 5 wells. but not
pumping the old Matthay wells; w.
w. Morgan, receiver for the Doheny COM
pany, % wells; Doheny, for F. c. Hen
derson, wells; Doheny, for Van Cleve,
2 wells; George Lawrence, wells; Nc
Gary, 2 wells.
The capacity of these is about 900
barrels per day, and when it is consid-
cred that the product of the entire $50
wells in the fields exceeds 1000 barrels
per day it will be seen that the opera
ton Of these mostly for immediate con-
sumption will not affect prices to &
great extent. What is most feared is
that as soon as there is rise in the price
of oil some of the smaller operators, sat
isfied with a slight increase, will again
resume operations. Such action on the
part of any large number of them would
render useless the suspension by the
others. 1t has been suggested that the
best plan to secure good prices and to
prevent the possibility of the recurrence
Of the Generalization now being ex-
perienced, is to practically pool the in
terests by placing the product In the
hands of one man or an elective board
for sale and letting this individual or
board control all sales. The fear on the
part of some of the smaller producers
that they would not have an equal
chance with the larger concerns may
defeat this plan, however, unless
sufficient guarantee can be given them
to insure their safety.
The present surplus Of oil in the tanks
in the district has been estimated at
between 10000 and 100000 barrels, but
two-thirds of this is subject to imme
date call or is. stored by large purchas-
ers for their own use. Unless some adj
dition is made from the wells this sur
plus would rapidly disappear and with
its disappearance an advance in prices
is considered certain. The suspension
of the wells has thrown about 300 men
temporarily out Of employment.

An Old Mans Pitiful Misfortune

Yesterday afternoon Fred Koenig, an
elderly man, who runs small wood
turning shop at 817 East Fifth street,
was brought into the receiving hospital
with his right hand terribly mangled.
1t had been cut in a buzz-saw. DR..
Hagan and DR.. Mathuss were called in
and found it necessary to amputate two
of the fingers and the thumb. Koenig
was using the buzz-saw to rip UP some
lumber, when little girl named Min
ME Zirbes, who lives near, came into
the shop to watch the old man work.
Her interest in the saving brought her
dangerously near the buzz-saw, and
Koenig. fearing that she might get
caught, put out his hand to keep her
away. AS he did so he turned his head
and ran his hand right into the saw.
Almost as quickly as a flash the two
fingers and thumb were so badly cut
that there was nothing left to do but
amputate them.

MRS. MARTINS CASE
She Will Have to Stand Trial for
Perjury

The examination of Mrs. M. L. Martin
for perjury has at last been finished
with the result that she is held over to
the superior court for trial with bond
fixed at $500. The case dragged along
in. the police court for over two months
and was continued from time to time at
the defendants request.
The beginning of the trouble was when
Mrs. Martin had three little girls who
live in the same neighborhood as herself
arrested for malicious mischief. In
court che swore that they had commit
ted the heinous crime of throwing old
tin cans over into her back yard to an
noy her and had then stood around and
danced with fiepdish glee when they
had succeeded in doing this. But the
little girls themselves had quite a diff
ferent story to tell, and were able to
prove by several witnesses that at least
one of them was in different part of
town at the very time that Mrs. Martin
had testified she had seen them all
pitching the cans into her yard. The
case against the children was dismissed
and then complaint was gotten out
for Mrs. Martin charging her with per-
jury.

Pulled Hair and Tore Clothes

Jim Turner, notorious character, who
spends a good part of his time in jail
and belongs to the class known as
"macs," was again arrested yesterday,
in company with the woman he calls
his wife, on a charge of disturbing the
peace. The complaint was sworn to
by Minnie Reiman, a sporting woman,
who associates with the same class as
the others. Minnie Reiman declares
that on Wednesday night she was as
saulted by Turner and his woman, who
pulled her hair and tore her clothes
The trouble occurred in a Main street
lodging house. Justice Owens fixed the
woman's bond at S100, which was given
by J. P. Kennedy. who is the jailer at
the county's establishment.
