tention OF your honorable body TO THIS
important matter, and urge that some
definite action be taken at the earliest
opportunity. The large number OF vis-

body to the condition of the fire hydrants
throughout the city. Many of them
leak so badly that pools of water are
left standing about them, or streams of
water continually run in the cutters for
several blocks below. 1t is impossible
for me to put a street in condition where
the above conditions exist. l respect
fully request that immediate action be
taken to abate this nuisance. l also call
your attention to the fact that many of
the flush tanks that have been put i'll
during the past two years have no water
connections, and therefore are useless.
respectfully ask that l be given au-
thority to have the necessary connec-

ENTERPRISING YOUTH
ONE OF THE CONFEDERATE BILL
SHOWERS CONVICTED
By False Statement He Threw Suspl'
cion on Two Innocent Parties.
Suspected of Burglaries

The case of George Richardson
charged with misdemeanor, and Jesse
and Tom Brooks, charged with burglary,
was before Judge owens in the police
court Yesterday. The Brooks boys, who
are learned to be honest and industrious
residents of San Pedro were dismissed,
hut Richardson was convicted ana neid
for sentence.
When Richardson or Casey, as his
right name is said to be, and who gives
his age as 49, but looks to be much older,
was arrested by Detective Goodman for
passing imitation Confederate bills. he
was taken before Chief Glass for exami'
nation. and in the presence of the CHIEF.
the detective and Mr.. Pascoe, proprietor
OF the Lincoln hotel, told an interesting
tale. as will be seen. 1t was believed
that he had burglarized the Lincoln no
tel. securing railroad tickets. notes ana
personal papers. some or the MISSING
stuff being found in his possession. He
explained this fact by saying that Jesse
and Tom Brooks had mailed them to him
at the Columbus house, the Brooks boys
having previously admitted TO him That
they had stolen them from the Lincoln
hotel When placed upon the stand
yesterday he denied the acquaintance of
the Brooks boys, and when asked II he
had not made the statements, as above
related, to the three gentlemen named,
replied yes. but that he had not told the
truth at that time. These statements
did not enhance the prospects of his case,
and as skeleton keys and lock picks were
found on him at the time of arrest he
was convicted as charged, and will be
sentenced on Monday
1t seems probab BILE that IL certain state
ments can be substantfated he will also
be tried on the charge OF burglary, as he
is suspected of being the "enterprisins"
individual who some five or six years ago
burglarized the same hotel in much the
same fashion as the recent burglary was
committed Richardson was seen after
the trial. and replied evasively to ques
tions, but no reliance, it seems. can be
placed in his statements Detective
Goodman is still investigating his rec
ord, for which he has plenty of time. as
Richardson is doing a six months SEN
tence for carrying burglar supplements.
