dren. Wilson drives an oil wagon for Cur

recognizance by Justice Owens yesterday,

charge of embezzlement. 1t was alleged
that wingate had disposed OF a horse and
wagon which he had taken from carpen-
ter to sell. The defendant showed that he
had paid SO on account, and 1t was held
that this made the transaction a running
account and he had not in consequence
been guilty of embezzlement The COM
plant was dismissed and the defendant
discharged.

ing at $3.50 o'clock. Hyland is alleged to

WILL DOUBLE ITS CAPITAL
Los Angeles Electric Company May
Enlarge Its Plant

A preliminary meeting Of the board of
directors of the Los Angeles Electric COM
pany was held last week, at which the ad-
visibility of increasing the present capital
stock of the company from $500 900 to $780,
900 was discussed. 1t was decided to call
a meeting of stockholders on the 18th of
May, at which time the proposition will
be submitted.
Secretary Burns, in the absence Of Pres
ident Cline, stated that the increase was
deemed advisable for the purpose Of max
ing additional improvements in the plant
and to meet the expense of laying under
ground conduits.
He further stated that the recent report
which appeared in a local evening paper,
intimating that portion of the great in
crease of capital might be applied in ef-
fecting consolidation with the San
Gabriel Electric company. was without
ground and unauthorized by his company.
| AS to the laying of conduits, the COM
pany has been considering plans of the
various underground systems submitted
to them, but up to the present time had
come to no decision as to when the work
would commence, but that presumably
definite action would be taken at the forth
coming meeting.

INSURANCE AND ESCAPES
Finance Committee Figuring on Pos
sible Fires

No business was transacted at yester-
days meeting Of the council finance COM
mittee, although, the members met and
discussed several subjects before them for
action. The question of putting fire es-
capes on the city hall building at an esti-
mated expense of $3.50 came up for some
discussion. 1t was evident from the re-
marks of the committeeman that Superin-
tendent Stratton had alarmed them with
his big estimate of cost. Mr.. Grider was
opposed to such large expenditure and
Mr.. Toll agreed that the subject needed to
be looked into carefully. The matter was
pigeonholed for future action.
About $4,000 insurance on city propertv
will expire during the early part of April
and there was some discussion of the sub.
ject There are between fifteen and TWEEN
ty insurance agents after the business.
There Is understood to be little or,no DIFF
ference in rates, which are uniformly high
er than they were when the present insur-
ance was assumed. 1t is a question with
the councilmen whether to divide the bust
ness up SO as to give ten or dozen reliable
firms their proportionate share of the in
surance or to give it to few. Settlement
OF the matter was laid over one week.

falls to the lot Of the average man Of
his trade. For years he stood at the

his stories are Of these days: "Whsn
I was on the old hayburner No. on
the Memphis and Little Rock road
years ago. IS We were approaching
Forest City one trip. a man riding \
mule was seen just ahead. A call for
brakes was made. but before the effect
was felt we had struck them. Tho
mule was killed, but the rider was
snugly 'scrootched' up on the front
end. Whom asked II he was much hurt
no replied: Not q d-n bit. Have
a drink and ha pulled a quart bottle
from his pocket and passed 1t around.

passing Elmwood cemetery, where no
whistles or bells are allowed to be
sounded, 1 saw man walking the
track ahead and sounded the whistle
anyway, but he paid no attention to
the signal. I slowed up, but before
1 could stop the pilot beam knocked
him off the track. BY the time we
got to him he was up. and we asked
If he was hurt. He said No. and
with that walked away, remarking
that we might go about our business
and he would attend to his"

The achievement Of the Oregon dur.
ing the recent war has demonstrated
the fact that upon our battleships and
cruisers we must rely for our offensive
and defensive conduct on the high
seas. The Oregon and Brooklyn have
proven themselves ideal defenders. The
little converted yacht Gloucester made
short work of the Furor and Pluton,
which ranked among the very best Of
the destroyers. There was great hue
and cry about torpedo boats, Destroy
ers and rams when the war began and
everybody was on the qui vive to know
Just exactly what was likely to happen
when this flotilla got into line of battle
But for some reason or other they came
to grief quite early in the action, and
the smaller craft steamed about among
them with as little fear for them as
they had respect for the power that
owned them. That they came to grief
and struck a heavy blow at the future
of such craft will be the verdict Of his
tory.
