CHINESE BRIBERY CASE FALLS
FLAT AND IS DISMISSED
A Tough Youngster Sent to lone for
His Minority--A Straw Pile in
Controversy--New Suits.
Court Notes

What must have represented fair
portion of the Spanish population Of
Santa Monica gathered in Judge York s
court yesterday in attendance upon the
trial of case which is now in progress.
The parties to the suit are Eulalia Bo-
jorques Rangel and her husband, Fran
cesco Rangel, VS.. Mr.. and Mrs. Ballero
Bojorques.
The action is brought over the possess
sion of certain real estate at Santa Mon
lea which formerly belonged to the elder
Bojorques, since deceased, and to which
both the parties to the suit lay claim.
The whole difficulty has apparently
grown out of a family disruption. and
there was good deal of feeling injected
into the case by certain witnesses yes
terday.
1t seems that some time before his
death old Bojorques sent for Ballero
and his wife to come and keep house for
him, offering a home to them during his
lifetime and promising to will them all
his property, which consisted of a small
house and lot at Santa Monica, upon his
death.
These conditions were accepted by
Mr.. and Mrs. Bojorques and they ac-
cordingly moved into the elder Bojor-
ques' home and a deed to the property
was made at the same time in their favor
and left in escrow. This all happened
some time in 1895.
About year later the old mans wife
died and he was terribly affected by the
loss At this time he became dssatis-
fed with the eatment received from his
son and daughter-in-law Cancelled the
old will and made a new instrument in
favor of his daughter, Mrs. Francisco
Rangel.
A short time after this the old man,
who was then-95 years of age, committed
suicide by throwing himself from the
bluff at Santa Monica.
Immediately after his death the trou-
BILE began. Mr.. and Mrs. Ballero Bojor-
ques assei ted their claim to the property,
which was still occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Rangel. They produced the deed to
show that they were the rightful owners
Of the property and, not being able to
prevail upon the occupants to vacate.
had them elected The suit in Judge
York's court yesterday was an action
for damages on account of the eject
ment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rangel claim that they
are the rightful possessors of the prop
erty on the ground that the last deed was
secured by the use of undue influence al
owing to his recent trouble, capable of
disposing for himself and evidence was
introduced to prove that Bojorques had
shown signs of mental unsoundness a
short time previous to his death. The
case will be continued this morning.

DECISION REVERSED
In the Case Against the State Board
of Dental Examiners

An opinion was handed down by the
supreme court yesterday affecting the
mandamus proceedings instituted by
John D. Van Week against the state
board of dental examiners, in which the
judgment of the lower court is reversed
and the demurrer to the complaint is
sustained.
This Is the case in which John D. Van
Week brought suit in the superior court
of Orange county to compel the state
board of dental examiners to issue him
certificate emitting him to practice
dentistry in this state. Van Week holds
a diploma of graduation issued to him
by the American College of Dental Sur
gerry of Chicago, and presented this di
ploma to the board of examiners. The
superior court gave a peremptory writ,
and the defendants appealed therefrom.
Judge Van Fleet held that the lower
court did not have jurisdiction in the
matter and reversed the order, with in
Structions to have the case remanded
and the demurrer sustained.

His Way of Doing Good

A man was walking along State street
yesterday morning with handkerchief
up to his eye, when a brisk looking citi-

Whats the matter? Got something
in it?''
Eyes and it hurts like sixty" replied
the other.
''Let me look at it,"
He backed the sufferer up against a
building, whipped out O. magnificent
glass and proceeded to inspect the in
famed optic.

Griffith Talks

G. J. Griffith returned to the city yes
terday, after an absence of six weeks
Mr.. Griffith has been upon a mission
which has had the interests of this sec
ton at heart. Accompanied by his fam-
lily. he went to Washington, d. C., via
New Orleans. The party arrived at the
Crescent city during the Mardi Gras
celebration.
When seen at the Nadeau hotel last
night. notwithstanding his long journey,
Mr.. Griffith was found in his usual good
humor.
''Mardi Gras," said he, "is very well
in its way, but l consider it clowns s
show. 1t is far inferior to our Fiesta
Rut then that may be matter of opin-
ion.
1--WE arrived at Washington in time
to witness the inauguration OF Presl-
dent Mckinley, but the interests or the
citrus fruit growers of this section ao-
sorbed most of my attention.
"The ways and means committee or
the house was very, very, busy during
NV stay. meeting morning, afternoon
and night, and the only time we could
get at them was during meal time. But
we made virtue of necessity
I'm my efforts to secure protection TO
citrus fruit growers 1 acted in harmony
with Messrs. Allen, Wardell and snow
of Tustin, and Captain Daniels of the
Citrus Fruit Growers association, ana
McLachlan.
I'VE agreed unanimously to recon-
mend to the house committee that the
tariff upon foreign fruit should be lev
led upon the pound basis rather than
upon the cubic foot basis, as has been
the practice. The pound basis is used
by all European countries, and l thlnk
we showed to the satisfaction of the
committee that it is the mode for us
to adopt The injustice of the cubic foot
system is readily apparent
Then. too, the tariff upon foreign
fruit has been such as to practically
debar California fruit from the east
ern coast-that is. any other than the
very finest The tax upon Messina and
Palermo oranges and lemons is only
IN cents per box while freight on Cali
fornia fruit amounts to 80 cents box.
Now what we want is a market for our
fruit and we can have it If the foreign
fruit comes into the country on the same
basis as we do. That is, we want the
tariff upon foreign fruit to be equal to
the railroad freight on domestic fruit.
And we have assurances that this de-
sire will be realized.
Another matter Of interest to local
fruit growers is a portion of what IS
known as the quarantine bill 1t is
believed that many tree pests have been
importen into this country from abroad.
and to prevent this calamity 1t is de-
sired that all fruit imported be inspect
ed by government inspectors. This
phase of the situation was discussed by
the Fruit Growers association. which
convened at Washington early in March.
There Ia reason to believe that such in
spectors will be appointed. 1t will be
protection to both Florida and Califor-
MIA fruit growers.

A STRAW PILE
The Object of a Legal Controversy
Yesterday

JudgeVan Dykes attention was oc-
cupied all day yesterday with a suit over
a straw pile, in which John Wolfskill
figured as the plaintiff and James Rus
sell and Herman Wigman as defendants.
Wigman and Herman up to a short time
ago have been running what is known al
the Rancho San Jose Buenos Ayrss.
which is the property of Mr.. Wolfskil;.
Not long since they decided to give I'D
the ranch and moved off At the same
time they removed about thirty tons Of
straw from the place. Wolfskill brought
suit to recover s125, which was alleged
to be the worth of the straw
The defendants claimed that the ma
terial was Of practically no value what
ever, and that many tons of the stuff
had been allowed to rot on the ground in
previous years. The case went to the
jury yesterday Afternoon, but they failed
to agree on a verdict.

All QUoN's TROUBLES
The Charge of Bribery Against the
Celestial Dismissed

All Quon, a Chinaman, appeared be-
fore Judge Smith yesterday on a writ
of habeas corpus. He was charged with
attempting to bribe an officer, but very
poor case was made out against him and
he was discharged.
Some time ago Deputy Constable
Brakeschuler raided what he supposed
was lottery joint. The constable rush
ed in and grabbed the books and the
articles used in the game, and started
off All Quon grew very much excited
and offered the consta BILE so to leave the
property behind, as he claimed that it
was absolutely necessary that he should
remain in ito possession to properly con-
duct his business.
The constable misunderstood the celes
tial and then arrested him for attempted
bribery There was no denial that the
Chiraman had run a lottery game, but
he was not arrested on that charge, and
when the facts had been placed before
Judge Smith he concluded that there
were no grounds upon which TO hold the
prisoner and he was accordingly dis
charged.

Say. old fellow, whoever you are.
I'm awfully grateful to you. You don't

"Yes, I do. 1 know all about 1t, and
I don't want any of your thanks. Get
ting chance to do this kind of work
now and then is all that reconciles me
to living here in March Morning"
And he vanished around the corner

full philanthrophy gasping his thanks
to the unresponsive atmosphere-Chi-

that the lad felt rather proud than

IDENT OF NEW BOARD
Committees Acknowledgements to
the Twenty-one Members of
the Library Staff

A meeting of the old city library board
and the library with its staff and it's
various belongings was formally turned
over to the incoming board. There were
present of the old board H. w. OMel-
veney. H. E. Storrs, Isidore DockweileT.
OF the new board E. X. Foster. w. M.
Garland, Earl Rogers and Isidore Dock
weller were present. w. F. Burbank not
being in the city, Frank P. Flint will re-
main as hold over until Mr. Burbank re.
turns and is qualified.
After some routine business a resolu-
ton of appreciation was passed to the
librarian and assistant for their faith
full service, and then with word or two
of regretful adieus the old board de-
parted.
The new board at once took their
places and went to work. Mr.. Dock
weller was made permanent chairman,
for which honor he made a graceful little
speech. closing with the hope that he
would at all times deal justly with all
his associates and do his duty as far
as possible.
E. X. Foster offeredithe resolution that
an innovation be made in the custom CT
the board and that vice president and
secretary be elected from the board.
This resolution meeting the approval of
the body w. Garland was elected vice
president and e. K Foster secretary.
After this business the board adjourn
ed to meet at $50 p. m. At that hour the
board again convened. The first order
of business was the appointment Of COM
mittees, made as follows: Books and

officio chairman of all the committees.

the library staff was called in and sort
of reception was held. There are
twenty-one young women on the stan.
with whom each director shook hands
and expressed his pleasure at meeting
officially. The staff is composed OF
young women of ability and intelligence.
and as a body they presented very
charming and attractive appearance.
After some conversation the body ad-
journed.
1t is evidently the policy of the new
board to make no changes in the present
staff until thoroughly acQualnteu with
the capability of each member. 1t Is
the intention to adhere strictly to civil
service rules and to obtain the most
competent heads to each department,
wholly and entirely Independent Of any
political influence
The board will meet again on Tues
day next at 1880 p. m. In short execu-
tive session held later two or three appli-
cations for the office of city librarian
