"There must be some provision made to

THE CHARGE WITHDRAWN
Bullock Accuses Golfer Of Felony and
Then Takes It All Back

William r. Bullock Of 760 Cypress avenue,
Pasadena, late on Tuesday afternoon Sc
cured a complaint against Sterling P. Cof-
fer of 1424 Baldwin street, accusing him of
felony embezzlement. Bullock's story was
that he and his wife, Alma, had entrusted
Golfer with a deed to part of lot 1, block
81, of the Terminus Homestead tract, val
ued at $500, in which the name of the
grantee was left blank, for the purpose OF
disposing of the property to some one as
their agent In the trade. Instead of selling
the lot Golfer, it was alleged, put
his own name in the deed and
had it recorded. Then he mortgaged II
on the 21st of this month for $3.50 to A. F.
Lane for one year at II per cent. The mort
gage shows that Lottie P. Sterling signed
the mortgage jointly with her husband
but 1t is claimed that she denies having
done so.
Yesterday morning Bullock appeared at
the district attorneys office and represent
ed to Deputy James, who had drawn up the
complaint, that it was all a mistake and
that he wanted the case dismissed Golfer
had not yet been arrested. On motion of
the district attorneys office Justice of the
Peace Young accordingly dismissed the
complaint. The case was apparently fixed

Cost of the New Fire Alarm System.
The Illuminating Oil Used Here
Contains Explosives

The Sunset Telephone people show DIS
position to treat the municipality literally
At a meeting of the board of fire commits
sioners yesterday Electrician Francis
stated in his report that the telephone
company promised to furnish such con-
ductors in their cable system as may be
necessary for the operation of the fire
alarm system as at present installed, to-
gether with such additions as may from
time to time be required. The city can
put its fire alarm wires in all the con-
duits of the Sunset, but that will not cover
the territory necessary to the working of
the department. So, where the use OF
the company's wires Is discontinued they
will have to supply them from the funds of
the department.
Francis estimates the cost of this new
system at 5000. He will have erected
twelve box stations at a cost of s420 These
boxes are much after the manner of those
used by the street car companies. The sup
PORTING post is of wood and the box OF
metal. The president of the board, Mayor
Snyder, appointed Messrs. Wells and
Kuhrts a special committee to have the
matter in charge, and when the meeting
adjourned the electrician explained to them
the workings of the proposed new system
They were so pleased with 1t that they
gave a verbal reQuisition for the material
asked for, including the dozen boxes,
which will be ordered from an eastern
firm Immediately.
Mayor Snyder said that the poor quality
of oil used for illuminating purposes in this
city has been brought to his notice. He
understood, he said, that 1t contains ex-
plosive properties that make 1t dangerous
to the home or wherever used. He thought
the subject should be investigated out Of
consideration for those who are compelled
to use it in their homes, with the object Of
protecting them from further danger and
imposition. He suggested that an ordi-
nance should be passed giving the board
the power to appoint an inspector of oils,
whose duty 1t would be to see that good
quality was dispensed and that it contained
nothing that would cause unavoidable ex-
plosions. No action was taken in the mat.

The Arrival Of the Millennium

The date of the advent of this happy Pc

especially in our larger cities where crime
seems rampant. But those acquainted
with the facts-and their name Is legion

ing industry to that of the agricultural in
terests of our country.

Eress to open for public research the vast
areas of mineral-bearing lands embraced
within what are known as Spanish land
grants. This question is known to be of
the greatest Importance to California and
