INSURANCE SUIT
On Building Partly Consumed by
Fire

The suit of ]. Burkhard VS.. the New
Zealand Insurance company to secure
the payment of a s25,OOO policy which he
holds, occupied the attention of Judge
Van Dyke and jury all day yesterday.
The policy was held on large three
story brick building that stands on the
south side of the Southern Pacific rail-
road track at Burbank. On the night of
August the building caught fire and
was partially consumed. 1t was in
sured for S4500.
The company claims that for a long
time previous to the fire the buildir g
had been abandoned to tramps who used
it for sleeping purposes, thus greatly in
creasing the liabilities and invalidating
the insurance policy. Further hearing
in the case will be continued this morn
ing.

An Attachment

A sensation was created in business
circles yesterday afternoon by report
that the large store owned by ]. I. She
ward had been attached. Inquiry al
the sheriffs Office confirmed the report.
On investigation 1t was learned that
the attachment was issued on tele-
graphic order from Charles Havens, the
secretary OF the San Francisco board
of trade.
The whole amount of the attachment
levied was $4,000. There were two at
tachments for various goods purchased
by Mr.. Steward and the creditors had
assigned their claims to Mr.. Havens.
An attachment of $4,000 was levied on
Mr.. Stewards real estate Saturday aft
ernoon.
This store is one of the oldest and best
known in the city, and it is believed
that the matter will be adjusted without

WILL PLEAD GUILTY
Forger Captured by Detective Steele
Confesses

The slick young forger, whom Detec-
tive Frank Steele arrested in Santa Ana
after a hard chase, was arraigned in
the police court yesterday.
He was arrested under the name of
e. L. Barber, but that is only one of the
many names he has been travelling un-
der. Yesterday he gave his name as
Norman Lewis, and protests that this is
his correct name.
The fellow was arraigned on two
charges, the enc preferred by Harry
Wheeler ard that of the firm of Long &
WEIGH Lewis told Justice owens that
he would plead guilty; that circum-
stances had driven him to commit the
crimes and that he was anxious to get
the matter settled. Justice Owens fixed
his preliminary examination for this af-
ternoon. 1t is probable that Lewis will
be arraigned this morning on
third charge, that of forging the
name of Henry Morlo, and that he
will have his preliminary examination
on all three charges this afternoon.

earnings were also limited to ssS.33 per
month, therefore 1t Is no wonder that
there was some objection on the part
Of the district attorneys office against
allowing this bill. The matter was
brought into the courts and has been
hanging fire ever since. Yesterday
morning Judge Allen settled the mat
ter by allowing Rogers just $13.SS.
In delivering his decision Judge Allen
took occasion to remark that he did not
believe in allowing bills which have been
contracted after the term of office has
expired, but since the supreme court
had decided otherwise he would render
his decision accordingly and would
award the plaintiff the actual amount
earned during the time of service.

and the completion of the electric rail-
way line. Mr.. Hutchison has been try
ing to expedite matters in this line ever
since he has been in the council and he
is highly pleased over the result. He

pleted, and now that this last obstacle
has been removed, Macy street will now
soon be widened to a uniform width of
eighty feet, and the Pasadena electric

WE suggest as one good practical way
OF making "a larger use for silver +" that
the Government stop making five-cent
pieces Of nickel and coin them of silver
of full intrinsic weight. AS silver is
worth now about 65 cents an ounce of 480
grains, this would make fve-cent piece
Of silver properly alleged weigh about
40 grains, or about one-half the weight
of the present nickel" which weighs
77.16 grains. As the mint has to coin
immense numbers of these-281 ,054, 494
since 1866-it would make quite a
market for silver. 1t would also greatly
increase the use of silver in the arts, for
anyone wishing to use small quantity
for any purpose would have it ready at
hand, of full value. Now, if he wants a
small amount Of silver for any purpose,
he has either to send off and buy the
bullion, or else use coins which will cost
him double their actual value.

much for the Sons of Veterans. He
cannot. They are worthy of every
effort that we can make to build the
Order up to its greatest numbers and
usefulness. Its objects are such as We
can and should enthusiastically indorse.
The membership is composed of the very
best material in the country. 1t is now
made up Of young men who have held
together amid all the discouragements
of the past years, and have brought out
of them compact, well-knit Order of
$4,000 members. This is splendid
foundation on which to build. The
men now in the Order have shown
themselves Of the right stuff. We can
see that they inherit our pertinacity and
determination in good work. Let us go
to them with words of sympathy and
encouragement, with expressions of APP
probation for what they have done.
These will be well bestowed, and most
gratefully received.
The GAR. needs the Sons of Vet
Grams as never before. We want the
Order vigorous and strong as our ally
in things that we wish done, and will
not be satisfied unless they are done.
