CLAIM AGAINST THE STATE
Suit for Moneys Due the County on
Tax Account

Some time ago, on representations of San
Francisco attorneys that they had become
possessed of special information which
would enable them to prosecute successfully
claim OF this county against the state for
a considerable sum of money, the board of
supervisors employed on commission basis
the firm offering its services. Yesterday the
facts regarding the claim were disclosed by
petition for writ of mandate to compel
Edward p. Colgan, as controller of the state,
to pay over to this county $l04, ,06S02.
The petition is signed, and sworn to by
William Fl. Devlin, who as a member of the
law firm of Robert Z. and VIM. H. Devlin,
made the offer of that firm to prosecute the
claim. Messrs. Devlin have associated them
selves with j. A. Donnell, as district attor-
ney of this county, and the San Francisco
law firm of Rodgers, Paterson & Slack, to
carry the case through the courts, and it is
understood that the same advocates will
prosecute the similar claims of other coun-
ties against the state.
On information and belief, Devlin AYERS
in his petition that during the fiscal year
1894 there became due to Los Angeles
county $22, 1862 for commissions, charges
and fees, directed ana nXed by law to be al
lowed to it for services of its auditor and
assessor in connection with the state taxes
for that year, also for similar fees allowed
by law to the treasurer and tax collector
Of this county for it's use and benefit. In
the fiscal year of lS94-5 fees on similar
grounds to the amount of l7,75S.S4 are al
legged to have become due; in 1856, $27,-
572.45; in 1867, $l7,939.27; in 1878, $l8,-
66l. IA, for the amount of which, OF $l04, ,O68-
02, the writ of mandate is asked. The con-
troller's refusal to pay the money when de-
manded is the basis of appeal to the courts
for peremptory order for payment.
The claims arose under the laws adopted
by the legislature in 1880 and 1888 for help
to be given by the state to the several coun
ties for the support of indigents, orphans
etc, who should become public charge:
also for over payments made for the years
in question to the state in settlement of
state taxes and for compensation to the
counties for the services of their officials in
collecting such revenues and in the dis.
bursement of public moneys, as well as in
connection with the state allowances to the
counties for school purposes.
The compensation agreed upon to be paid
out of any moneys recovered from the state
on these claims is 25 per cent on the first
$1,000, 20 per cent on the second, Is per cent
on the third and 10 per cent on all sums in
excess of $4,000. The attorneys meet all the
costs of litigation and agree to prosecute
the claims to final determination in the
courts. If they succeed in collecting the
amounts now alleged to be due to this coun

Divorce of Santa Monica Belle

Mrs. Agnes X. Summerfield of Santa

tell about her domestic infelicities in con-

was not taken up, the defendant having de-
cided to let his wife have her divorce on
the ground of cruelty without exploiting the
adultery charge. The parties to the action
are well-known, the husband being secretary
of the Santa Monica Lumber company.

FEELING IN THE HOUSE.
President VIII Act In Accordance
with Prevailing Sentiment

Talk about the Cuban situation was in
the same line yesterday that has char
acJeriZed it among the members of the
House for a week past There was a
feeling that a crisis is at hand but a de-
sire not to discuss it was apparent. The
message from the President respecting
the Maine disaster is expected to reach
the Capitol Monday. but 1t is thought
that it may be delayed until Wednesday
or Thursday.
The members of the House appear to
feel confident that the message will be
in accord with public sentiment and
that war will be declared
A dozen different opinions as to the
character of the message he is expected
to send to Congress Monday was dis
cussed. bur not a single one of them
could be traced to the President 1t is
understood that the policy 20 be pursued
may not be outlined in this message but
the general impression is that the f're7
dent will take a stand that will accord
with the sentiments of the people of this
country.
1t is thought that prompt action will
trouble. but it is believed that if delay
is incurred it will result 20 the advan-
tage of this country, for it will enable
the Administration TO make the prepara-
tons that are deemed necessary.
Not a single word has been said by
members in favor of the proposition to
coniine action to the sending of supplies
to Cuba by the Government There is
not a dissenting voicestO the proposition
iaf f.l, Il
that the fighting between the iusurpr
and the Spanish must be stopped while
the relief measures are being put into
effect. The relief, it is said, should be
coupled with Intervention. which will
send the Spanish soldiers from the island
and give Cuba her liberty.
1t is not believed that Spain will permit
this relief measure and that she will de-
! clare war the instant that an attempt is
! made to put il into effect.
