PLEASURE WHARF FRANCHISE
Denied Because Uncle Collis' Claims
Are Too Near the Site

SANTA MONICA, Feb. H-The city
trustees met In regular session this after
noon. A resolution was presented by the
street committee to the effect that all BIDS
for the outfall sewer, protection wharf and
screen house be rejected. 1t was referred
to the committee of the whole for reconsid-
Grafton to report at the next meeting.
The subject of ]. e. Elliott's application
for a pleasure wharf franchise was then
brought before the board A. Mooser
said that inasmuch as the city attorney had
handed down an opinion on the pleasure
wharf subject, to the effect that the South
ern Pacific company has a franchise within
the 800 feet prescribed by law. which will
hold good for three years yet, he did not see
how anyone could be granted a franchise
at that place. That some responsible party
might wish to erect a structure on the
Southern Pacific franchise and that to
grant Mr.. Elliott franchise at the foot
of Railroad avenue would cause litigation
and trouble for two or three years to come.
resolution was then passed denying the
franchise to Mr.. Elliott.

BACK FROM THE TEjUNGA
MOUNTAIN WATER COMMITTEE
ONCE MORE IN THE CITY
A Pleasant Trip in the Mountains but
the Result Is Withheld for the
Present-Where They Went

After an absence of nearly five days In
the wilds Of the mountains. some sixty-five
miles from the city, the members of the
mountain water supply committee of the
council again occupied their seats yester-
day, looking somewhat the worse for wear,
but withal wearing an inscrutable express
sion which may or may not mean that they
found what they sought-a supply of clear
mountain water for the thirsty City of the
Angels.
Not one of the three committeeman
would vouchsafe the information as to
whether the trip had been successful or
not, all contenting themselves with looking
wise and advising the impatient public to
keep on its-waistcoat. and wait for their
report, which will be filed next Monday.
Notwithstanding this secretiveness. 1t was
allowed to ooze forth from some unknown
crevice that the water seekers had found
aqua pura in large quantities. and that the
Mountain Water company, which owns the
watershed tributary to the streams inves-
tigated and the rights appurtenant there
to. had made the committee an offer to
sell-but the price was not mentioned.
Leaving the city last Tuesday morning
at o'clock. the expedition, consisting Of
Councilmen Grider Mathuss and Hutchi-
son, Civil Engineer Rhodes of Pasadena.
w. S. Montgomery, representative of the
Mountain Water company, and a guide.
sailed forth for the headwaters of the
Big Tejunga. The course of the Arroyo
Seco was followed for fifteen miles. and
the first range of mountains was crossed
at Switzer's camp. From there the trail
led over Strawberry peak to the Big Te-
junga canyon. where a halt was made at
Colby springs.
The next day trip up the canyon was
made to Chileno camp, at the summit of
the divide, where rise the waters of the
North Fork of the San Gabriel river. Big
Rock creek and Big Tejunga creek, at an
elevation of $500 feet above sea level. Re-
turning down the canyon to Colby springs
again. the trail was taken up downward
to Mosquito falls, in the North Fork,
around which detour of fifteen miles had
to be made to reach the bottom, about 100
feet From there the trip was uneventful,
and Monte Vista was reached without ac-
cident. save that one or two of the party
had thorough wettings from falling into
what they were looking for-the water.
AS stated, none of the committeeman
would foreshadow their report, which
1t was stated would not be long Next
Monday will see the clouds cleared away
and the moot question settled.

A Drunken Driver

PASADENA, Feb. 21.-Tonight at about
o'clock a wagon drawn by two horses
white with foam dashed along Colorado
street through the business section from
the west In front of McCament's the
wagon collided with DR.. j. B. Ttlcott's
buggy. The wheels locked and the horse
was thrown fiat. The two teams were In
a general tangle for a time until police
man and bystanders righted them. 1t was
then discovered that the driver of the
double team was Ray Lybarger, an en-
ploye of Halsted's fish market. Lybarger
was too drunk to keep his seat in a proper
manner and had to be dragged down and TO
jail by Officer Reynolds. He had been
peddling fish in the vicinity of Verdugo
during the day and in all probability, from
the appearance of his horses, they ran
most of the way into town at breakneclx
gait. Lybarger occupied the jail tonight
until his parents bailed him out. He lives
with his parents and brothers at 1876 Dayton
street.

THE GID GRANT
Is Formally Declared to Be Not Worth
O Cent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The decision
of the United States court of private land
claims in the case of John Cessna and 9TH
ers against the United States, involving a
claim to large tract of land in Southern
New Mexico. was affirmed in an opinion Of
the United States supreme court, handed
down today by Justice Brewer. The land in
question covered a part of the land en-
braced in the Bracito grant and in the Dona
Ana Band and Mesilla colonies, and the
grant under which the claim was made was
alleged to have been made in 1923. In that
year the town council of El Paso, Tex.
made grant to one John Heath, or Juan
Gid. and he took a company of Americans
to that section to occupy the land. But the
provincial authorities refused to ratify the
grant, compelling Gid and his followers
to leave the county. The grant was out
side the limits of El Paso, and the court
holds that the town councils action was in
valid and that Cessna has no claim.

question of the guilt or innocence of the

A fire was started by some mis-
chievous boys of Leavenworth in a
pile of brush on the poor farm near
the stone building on the farm used
as a smallpox hospital. The fire
spread by igniting the dead leaves and
small brush adjoining. The wind was
high and blew the flames across the
road where more fuel was to be had in
the large corn field on Judge Hurd's
farm. The corn was shocked and con-
sequently burned fercely and very
fast. The flames covered about six
acres of ground in the corn field and
then attacked the meadow and flew
over the short grass until it reached
the largest hay stack on the farm
which became pile OF ashes in few
minutes time. By the time the hay
stack was consumed the farmers who
were assisting w. B. Parson, Judge
Hurd's farmer, had the fire under con.
troll and fortunately no more damage
was done by the untamed element.
The fire covered about eight or nine
acres of the farm and the loss will be
a considerable amount.

about three months the army has been
shut off Main street by city ordinance
placing license on all parades.
Judge Simpson of the Reno county
district court decided late yesterday
afternoon that the city has no authori-
ty to tax a religious parade. The de-
cision was given in a case brought
against Captain Hale of the Salvation
Army for violating the ordinance.
Under the advice of Major Stil1we11 of
Kansas City the case was appealed
from police court to the district court,
and it was agreed by the army that
no parades would be made until the
ordinance was tested in the courts.
The members of the army are jubi1ant

Ticket Office Robbed.

The Northern Pacific ticket office was
entered Sunday nightly thieves, who took
some S15 or SIG from the cash drawer.
The office was entered through the door,
which was broken open by means of an
iron pry, which was found lying near the
door when tho Office was opened today.
The jamb of the door was split from bot
tom to top nearly, and the bolt of the
.ock forced out of it's socket.
There was nothing in tho cash drawer
but n little silver. 1t is believed the
robbery took place between 3 and 4
o'clock this morning, as everything was
all right when Night Agent Orr left after
the arrival of Tram No. 9. There was
some S12O in bills in the drawer then,
but this sum was taken to the express
Office by Mr.. Orr and put in the safe.
Agent Scott is checking up today to- see
if any tickets were taken, but so far has
found one missing. There is no clue
so far to the identity of the thieves.

Ghosts.

DR.. Daniel 6. Brinton contributes an
article on Popular Superstitions of Eu-
rope to The Century. DR.. Brinton says:
Ghosts were naturally more numerous in
earlier conditions Of society, for then man
had so many souls. Now we are content
with one, and there are some who try to
make us doubt ever that modest allow
ance, but in the good old days each per-
son was credited with several. There was
one, for instance, which belonged to his
body and must abide in 1t or death would
arrive; then there was the dream soul,
which, I have said, might wander through
time and space at will during sleep, and,
most important, said many, is the name
soul, that which gives us distinctive in
dtviduality in our personal names, and,
not to continue the list to a tiresome
length, there was the bone soul, which re-
manned in the bones after the body had
passed to dust. Tho last mentioned was
OF peculiar value, for on its persistence de-
pended the chance for resurrection into life
on earth. The faith in this was nigh uni
versal. When the body of Elijah touched
the dry bones Of tho long dead warriors,
they clothed themselves in flesh and were
restored to living beings. The rabbits
taught that especially in the bone lutz,
tho last of the spinal vertebr@, dwelt the
spirit Of tho deceased. It is indestructi.
bic, say they, and not even O strong man
with q sledge hammer q break it.
