CHARGED WITH PERJURY
Filed on a Mine as Timber Claim In
Butte County

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. s.-Lincoln
Brodt Of Butte county Is on trial for
perjury in the United States district
court. The perjury Of which he Is ac-
cused is alleged to have been committed
in filing claims for the land on which the
Alki mine Is located before the register
of the land Office at Marysville. In maxi
ing his filings he swore that the land
was chiefly valuable for the timber on 1t
The facts as alleged by the government
are that the Alki mine has been contin-
uously worked for eight or nine years,
and that there are $4,000 worth Of I'M
provements on the property to plain
view, and that the noise Of blasting and
other mining operations could be heard
for great distance.
Brodt secured patent from the land
Office on his filings without the knowl-
edge of Parry and Merry, the owners of
the Alki mine. AS soon as they learned
of this they brought suit to annul the
patent, which was done, and the COM
missioners Of the land office instructed
the United States attorney for this dis
trict to bring the matter to the atten-
ton of the grand jury. This was done
and Indictment found. Brodt's defense
is that he thought the mine was on an
adjoining section Of land.

LONDON BANKERS
Express Disappointment Over the
Mckinley Message

NEW YORK, Dec S.-A dispatch to
the World from London says: Lord Rev
elstoke. head Of the banking firm Of Bar
ing Bros, was asked today for his opin-
ion on the effect of President Mckinley g
message. Lord Revelstoke said:
1.-THE currency suggestions have been
decidedly disappointing. We expected
something more tangible than a scheme
contingent upon conditions which the
President gives no indication Of any In
tention to bring about" ... -
do you consider the pacific tone Of
the message calculated to improve the
market for American securities over
here?" he was asked.
EYES," replied Lord Revelstoke, 'It Is
certainly a relief TO find nothing agress-
i've in the message. I anticipated that
business with the United States will be
very brisk after the new year. They are
having prosperous times over there and
confidence is being gradually restored" !"
Mr.. Gordon. who succeeded the late
Walter Burns in the direction OF the
London branch Of J. P. Morgan & Co..
said: Several stock exchange men who
have been in here this morning tell me
there Is general disappointment at the
wishy -washy color Of the Presidents
currency paragraph and American stocks
are weaker in sympathy with that feel
ing"
H. ]. Mcneil. Secretary Of the Bimet-
tallic League, said: "Bimetallists re-
gard the Presidents reference to the
Wolcott mission with considerable satis-
faction. We did not consider the reply
of the British government as in anv Way
finally closing negotiations. The fact
that the Wolcott commission has not
yet reported. together with the Pres
ident's expressions, encourages the hope
that the United States and the French
government contemplate further action
early"

TIME LIMIT FIXED
Hitching to Be Allowed for Twenty
Minutes at q Stretch

At a special session of the city council
yesterday morning the anti-hitching or
dinance, about the modification of which
there has been so much wrangling
among merchants and councilmen 70:
several weeks was amended so as to
allow hitching on the streets for period
not to exceed twenty minutes at a time.
The change was made by the unanimous
vote of the council. and the assurance
has been given that the police depart
ment will make every effort to enforce
the new measure when 1t goes into effect.
The session of the council was brief,
not more than fifteen minutes being
consumed In deciding the matter. Be
fore the session was called to order there
was much lobbying on the measure and
great deal of private discussion between
the members in the committee room.
The matter was in the hands of the
board of public works, and that body met
just before the hour for the special
meeting and agreed upon a report, which
they made later.
When the council met, Judge Wright,
who has represented the Merchants and
Manufacturers association in the mat
ter throughout the time it had been un-
der discussion, stated that any change
that might be made in the ordinance
would not be met with opposition from
that association. 1t had not been the
intention Of those who favored the ordi-
nance to cause 1t to work a hardship
upon any persons. In It's present form it
undoubtedly did this, and in the light
of the objections that had been made
the association did not feel justified in
insisting upon the maintenance of the
present ordinance.
Councilman Toll also favored a
change. He stated that he had been in
formed that Chief of Police Glass had
said that the new measure could and
would be enforced. The board of pub
lie works submitted the following ordi-
nance which was at once adopted, after
which the council adjourned:
The mayor and council of the city Of
Los Angeles do ordain as follows:
Section /. That section l of an ordi-
nance entitled "An ordinance regulat-
ing the standing of horses, mules and
vehicles upon the public streets of the
city of Los Angeles within certain linn
Its and prescribing penalty for it's vio-
| lation,' be and the same Is hereby
| amended so as to read as follows:
Section l. 1t shall be unlawful for any
person to hitch any horse, mule or other
animal, or leave standing not in the
immediate care of some person, any car
