WHEN WILL THEY WORK.
Board Of Arbitrators Take Another
Adjournment-Will Meet TODAY

Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing James G. Kays, Capt. Chas. T. Healey
and Col. G. II. Mendell, composing the
board of water arbitrators, met in the coun.
Gil chamber for the purpose of hearing testi.
mony that will help them in determining
the value of the Los Angeles Water com
pany's plant. Besides the arbitrators there
was an array of legal talent and civil en-
gineers of high standing. Senator White
and Attorney Chapman appeared for the
water company and City Attorney Dunn for
the municipality.
After a short consultation the attorneys
decided to employ an official stenographer,
whose business it would be to make full
and complete returns of all proceedings. He
will be directed to make three copies of
the proceedings. Two of these will be used
by the attorneys for the water company
and one will be given the arbitrators.
At the request of City Attorney Dunn,
who said that counsel on both sides wished
time to examine the stipulations entered
into between the company and the city, an
adjournment was taken until o'clock.
At that hour the attorneys were still un-
prepared, SO the hearing was continued un-
til today. IL is very necessary for the legal
talent to thoroughly digest all points in the
stipulations, as by doing so it will simplify
matters and tighten the labors of the board
AT 10 o'clock today the arbitrators will
meet and will hold session until IL. 1t
will then adjourn to meet at q The second
session will last two hours. This programme
will be followed each day.

CoNTRABAND GOODS
Proceedings to Recover Faro and
Roulette Outfit

AOOu4CLtO O0IAAt
An echo of the last raid the police have
made on faro and roulette outfit in this
city was heard yesterday in Justice Owens S
court in garnishee action brought on be-
half Of j. T. Halsey.
In October OF 1895, during race week, the
police detectives and officers raided a rou-
lette, faro and crap joint in Mott alley, near
the old chamber of commerce building.
Twenty players, dealers and employees were
arrested, and THE outfit, consisting of wheel,
chips and tables, was taken to the police
station. The men all pleaded guilty, and
were fined from 800 down to $40. Their
fines aggregated about $500 to the good OF
the treasury. A man named j. Morales
claimed that the property belonged to him,
and he made request on the police author
ities for the same. He was not given the
stuff, for The reason that all such articles are
considered contraband Morales died, and
his widow sent communication to the au-
thorties from the City of Mexico, asking Tor
the return of the apparatus. She was also
refused.
Some time ago j. T. Halsey brought suit
for 5000 against j. g. Smith. Both men are
said to be gamblers. Smith confessed
judgment, and said that all the property he
possessed was the outfit secured by the police
in their raid upon the Mott alley joint three
years ago. Halsey sought yesterday, on
garnishee proceedings, to ascertain whether
or not the articles claimed by Smith were
still in the custody of the police department
Chief of Police Glass was summoned as a
witness, but he said that The goods we're con-
traband, and it was the rule to destroy such
stuff. He told of Morales having tried to
secure the stuff, and stated further that
Smith had never appeared in the case at all.
The chief could not state whether the stuff
was at the station or not.
The attorneys for Halsey wanted the court
to issue an order directing the chief TO as
certain whether the stuff was still in his Gus
tody, but Justice Owens declined to do so
Detective Auble was also called, but he did
not throw much more light on the question
than had the chief. The attorneys for Hal
sey were blocked for a time in their efforts
to ascertain about the property, and the
case went over until December lst

The Tale

A lawyer in one of the Eastern cites want

He had applicants by the dozen. He Sc

he took the first one into his private office
and told him story. The story was this:
"A man was bothered by cat that got on

loaded 1t. That night he took aim and
fired. The paper .wad, set the dry ,shins
giles on the roof of the barn afire and they
had to call out the fire department. The
first boy yawned and asked who won the
suit He told 1t to the other boys In rots-

the damages were, the third If the barn
burned down. the fourth If there were any
horses in the barn, the fifth whether the

SWEEPING CONTRACT IN FORCE
The Machines Began Work on Paved
Streets Last Night

The new street sweeping contract awarde :
to Franklin & Alexander several months ago
went into effect yesterday, and the work Of
keeping the streets clean was begun by the
firm at o'clock last night. The contractors
have purchased four new street sweepers of
the latest model, besides improved dump
carts, which were used for the first time last
night. These machines are many pounds
lighter than the old style and are also very
much larger The brushes or brooms are
made of hickory fiber pressed fiat, and are
considered much better than the willow on
the old style sweepers. The machines are
painted bright red and present very at
tractive appearance while performing such
dirty work.
Last night the first trial was made on
South Main street, where, after few trials,
the four sweepers turned on Ninth and went
over to Figueroa. After sweeping Figueroa
from Pico south the sweepers were taken
back to Main, up Main to Fifth, and from
Fifth to Spring, Broadway and then Los
Angeles streets. These streets were swept
until midnight, when the contractors turned
their attention to the cross streets.
Another improvement over the old system
is noticeable in the manner of laying the
dust. Heretofore the general practice has
been to flood the streets, then sweep them.
By this method much of the dust would stick
to the asphalt pavement and could not
be removed with the brushes. The new
contractors employ sprinkler that does not
flood, but sprays the street, and in this way
the surface is thoroughly cleaned.
Last night there were fifteen men at work
from to almost daylight. Today force
of twelve men, with hand brushes, will be
employed to keep the business district free
from refuse. Each man will have district
and each will be expected to keep the streets
therein as clean as billiard table. This
work, as well as that of the machine, will
be under the direct charge of Inspector
Schwabe, who was yesterday transferred
from the health department to the street
department.
No fair opinion could be formed from an
inspection of last nights work, as the streets
have been in such an uncared for condition
for several months it will necessitate several
cleanings before good start can be made.

New York, Nov. 9.-The latest figures
obtainable show that Roosevelts plural
ity in the state is not far from 10000. Only
ten counties in the state gave Van Wyck
pluralities and they were all localities
swayed by cities, as New York, Kings,
Queens and Erie. The falling off In Roose-
Velts plurality as compared with Black $
in 1895 is due to decrease in the Republi-
can vote up the state of 81 900 and in
Greater New York of 5000. Against this
Van Wyck gained 10000 above the Har-
lem and 5000 below it, as compared with
Porter two years ago. In that year the
Democrats carried only one county-Scho-
harie-which gave Porter 412 plurality
This year it gave Van Wyck 72S.
The result on congressman in this state
seems to have surprised even the Demo-
Gratis themselves. Nineteen Of their can
didates were elected the Republicans get
ting but fifteen. In the present House
the New York delegation stands twenty
seven Republicans to six Democrats. In
the Greater New York all the Democratic
candidates were elected, the most note
worthy change being the defeat of Lem
uel e. Quigg, in the Fourteenth district
by Capt. William Astor Chanler. where a
plurality for Quigg two years ago of H.
200 was overcome by Capt. Chanler, with
from 1000 to 5000 to spare.
After the gubernatorial contest as much
interest was taken in the state legislature
as in anything else. The close friendship
known to exist between Mr.. Croker and
Senator Murphy caused the general belief
that the Tammany leader would do all in
his power to secure the legislature in
order that Mr.. Murphy might retain his
seat in the Senate, and the result shows
he did his best. Notwithstanding this
however, the state Senate will be Repub-
lican by four and the assembly by twenty
Political interest from now on will CEN

has not declared itself Mr.. Platt was
asked to-day whether or not he would ex-
press himself on the subject, but he de-
clined saying the senatorship was mat
