mistake and called at the Williams house
to try to secure the goods. He stated that
he got no satisfaction and so yesterday
caused a search warrant to be issued from
Justice Morrison's court against the VIII
liamses.
Accompanied by Officer Richardson, he
visited the place, but Mrs. Williams at first
declined to admit them. Finally the officer
threatened to break down the door and
they were admitted. The Jars were dis
covered under bed, 1t was reported. Green
swore to complaint against the Wiliamses
charging them with petty larceny and the
warrants were served last evening. Consid-
cradle surprise was expressed that the Will
liamses should have tried to defraud Green
out of the Jars, which were only worth
81. 65, but when questioned by the detectives
Williams said the Jars had been found by
his brother-in-law, George Clinton, when
he returned from work early in the morn
ing, and Clinton, supposing that they had
been forgotten by the people in the house,
had carried them inside. This was corrob-
GRATED by Clinton, who said that the Jars
had been in front of the door at o'clock in
the morning. He had taken them to his
room and forgotten to tell his sister, Mrs.
Williams, about them until the officer ar
rived with the search warrant. The Will
liamses were allowed to go on their own
recognizance, Mrs. Williams, in fact, not
being taken to the police station.

THEY ROCKED HER
And Also Hit Mrs. Cooner With a
Shovel


Mrs. c. Cooner, who conducts fruit
stand at the corner of Anderson and Also
streets, is i'll at home as the result of an
attack upon her of a quintette of small
boys, none over IL years of age. Last
Tuesday Mike Valasco, John Cow, Lor-
EMO Valasco and two other boys went to
Mrs. Cooner's stand and asked her If she
would give them some apricots She re-
piled that she would, but told the boys that
they must not knock down the stand and
spill the balance of the fruit over the side
walk This injunction appeared to get
the youngsters angry, for soon afterwards
they attacked her and her sister with a
shovel. Mrs. Cooner was struck over the
eye with the shovel, and several of the
boys proceeded TO attack her further with
rocks. Several of the stones struck her
in the face, backing her eyes and bruising
her generally.
She reported the case to the police and
swore to complaint against the crowd.
Officer German was given the warrants
for them, and succeeded in catching three
of the boys while they were In swimming
yesterday. One Of them said that the
woman had promised to give them some
fruit, but when they went after it she had
grabbed hold of a younger brother and re-
fused to let go of him. so they proceeded to
retaliate and incidentally to rescue him by
throwing rocks at her. They will come up
in the police court this afternoon for trial.

BOYS WANTED AS AIDS
Attractive Features for the Fourth Of
JULY Celebration Increasing


General tombstone Jones, grand marshal
of the Fourth Of July parade, has decided to
add four boys to his staff mounted on Shet-
land ponies. General Jones requests boys
who desire to serve as his aides to apply at
Fourth of July headquarters, third floor of
the Bryson block, from to o'clock in the
afternoon.
H. Spencer of the Royal Oak lodge, Sons
of st. George, has notified the committee
that the British Americans of Los Angeles
and vicinity will participate in the celebra-
ton. A committee has been appointed
from the lodge to secure as large turn out
as possible, and 1t is thought the present
friendly feeling between the two countries
will be expressed in float. The ladies of
the G. A. R. have made application to be
represented in a float, which has been &C.
cepted. So far as heard FROM all the tents
of Maccabees in the city will turn out, max
ing fully ten thousand men in the division,
accompanied with representative float
From letters received at headquarters it
is confidently expected that a large crowd
will attend from San Diego, as an early
train will leave that city and arrive in Los
Angeles in time for the procession. The San
Diego band will probably be hired for the
occasion
The commercial course company Of the
high school, composed of fifty we'll drilled
members, with their cannon and equip
ments, have signified their Intention to turn
out. The company was a feature Of the
procession when the Seventh regiment left
for San Francisco.

THE JEHUs WIN
Beat the First Test Case Against the
Hack Ordinance

First blood was scored by the hack driv-
ers yesterday in their fight against the re-
cent ordinance which prohibits them from
standing on the principal thoroughfares un-
til after o'clock In the evening. On the 10th
of April last N. Kip was arrested for hav-
ing kept his hack standing on Spring street
between First and Second in violation OF
the ordinance. The case was continued
from time to time, but, backed by the
Hackmen's Association, Kip demanded a
jury trial and proceeded to fight the case.
The trial occurred yesterday before Jus
tice Owens and jury. 1t was not denied
that Kip had had his rig on Spring street
at the place mentioned In the, complaint,
but In extenuation 1t was claimed that the
ordinance practically ruined business for
the hack drivers. The merits of the ordi-
nance were not gone into, and the jury re-
turned verdict Of not guilty. The effect
of the verdict renders the ordinance Of no
practical avail.

siderable quantity Of gold In the soil; and at
once set to work developing it. The dirt
went about 50 a square yard, and was ir
cement gravel. He dug back for eight feet
and found good pay dirt all the way except
in the eight inches Of top strata. Colors
can be found anywhere on 16O acres Of the

HE Travelled ON A PASS TO
CHICAGO
and PUT IN HIS DEMAND
TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
FOR HIS FARE
THAT MAceINNIs RECEIPT
Was Given for His Wife's Transports
tion-George w. Simonton the
Favorite for the Vacancy

Walter Webb, from all the evidence that
can be adduced, and 1t seems to be con-
elusive, is guilty of having putin demand
to the city for the cost of his ticket to Chi
cago, when he went to the east to attend an
educational convention at Milwaukee last
year in July.
Webb presented his demand to the board
of education at the meeting when he was
obliged to tender his resignation last Mon
day evening. 1t was passed and is now in
the hands of the city auditor.
Since then Webb has placed In the hands
of School Director Charles Cassat Davis
receipt from Claim Agent Maginnis of the
Santa Fee company for what he claimed was
the price of his ticket.
AS a matter of cold fact Webb did not
purchase ticket for himself, but travelled
on a pass, it having been agreed between
the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific compan-
les to act together in giving two passes to
members of the board of education, giving
them their choice of routes.
Mr.. Maginnis yesterday admitted to a
Herald reporter that the receipt he had
given Mr.. Webb was for a ticket the school
director had purchased for his wife. and
frankly stated that Webb had been given
a pass and had used it. Other officials of
the company made the same statement.
Webb swore to his demand for the price
of his own ticket. which would seem to
render him liable to prosecution, and Is con-
sidered enough by some authorities to war;
rant the rejection of his entire demand.
There is no question but that the district
attorney, if he wishes, can get the same
evidence as The Herald has obtained if he
wishes to prosecute the case.
Simonton Leads
In the rush to fill the vacancy in the board
of education created by the resignation of
the notorious Webb, only one candidate
seems so far to have come to the front with
any degree of strength. Not only has he
been Endorsed by the wheehorses of the
Republican party in the Ninth ward, but
the Woman's Central Educational commit
tee has appointed a committee to circulate
petitions throughout the ward for his ap-
pointment. The favorite is George w. ST.
monitor. The committee is composed of
Mines. Gillette, C. A. Williams, Rose Nc
Chung and 8. Rees, and they report having
secured nearly 300 signatures to date.
Under the provisions of the city charter
the council is obliged at once to proceed to
call an election for the purpose of filling the
vacancy on the school board. Meanwhile the
place may be filled temporarily by appoint
! ment, as was done when Director Adams
| made his inglorious exit some months ago.
Whether the council will proceed to name
the temporary director at it's session next
Monday remains to be seen, as there is a
strong feeling against the calling of an cleo
ton to fill the office for the short period
which will elapse before the next CITY cleo
ton, and there is a disposition to see
whether some means may not be devised
to obviate the unnecessary expense

ion that seems to belong to her. Miss Howe
was capital as the vixenish old maid; she
excels in character parts. Ida Banning
had an excellent chance as the wife Of
Major Schubert, and considering her mex
perience, handled the character with fair
success, nothing being overdone with the
exception of certain gestures, which re-
Cured with too great regularity.
The piece was excellent staged. The star
received many recalls, and in spite of the
length of the piece the audience was en-
thusiastic to the last.
"Magda" will be repeated tonight and
again tomorrow.
The Burbank auditorium Is so much
larger than the actors are evidently used
TO speak in, that with two or three excep-

This is defect easily remedied If the play
ers will but think of the size Of the stage
