WRONGED MARGARITA
GRAVE CHARGES BROUGHT
AGAINST A SANTA MoNICAN
A Seduced Senorita Who See-Saws
Between Police Station and Hos
pital-Insane From Trouble

Margaret Dominguez, a comely Mexican
girl some eighteen years of age, was found
seated in a hack on Main street yesterday
morning by Officer Redfern. She refused
TO bulge from it when requested to do SO
by the driver, and as her talk appeared
somewhat incoherent the officer took charge
Of her and brought her to the police station,
where he booked her for insanity. Mar
garita's talk was all about her marriage with
prominent young Santa Moncan,
who, she said, was to marry her that very
morning, and she protested earnestly
against her detention which might indsti-
nitely postpone the wedding. 1t was as
certained soon afterward that Miss Domin-
guez had escaped from the county hospital
early in the morning, where she has been
held under observation since Sunday on Il
charge of lunacy. DR.. Barber, however, was
of the opinion that Margarita was not in
sane, and would probably have allowed her
to go soon had she not taken French leave.
The story told by a brother of the young
woman is that she was seduced
by young Santa Monican, and
was delivered Of child of which
lie is the father three weeks ago The baby
was placed in the custody of Margarita' !
mother at Long Beach, who has it now.
The girl has been living at Redondo. On
Saturday she came to town with the avowed

SIGNAL SYSTEM CHOSEN
POLICE COMMISSION RECON-
MENDs ACCEPTANCE
HOW HAND SWEEPING WORKS
Improved Condition of the Streets Is
Already Observation-Disclosures
Encountered

After a delay of several weeks, the board
of police commissioners yesterday decided
to recommend to the council that the bid OF
the Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph com
pany for supplying the city with police
signal system be accepted. Consideration
OF the bid, which had been referred to the
commission by the council, had been delayed
by reason OF the sudden disappearance OF
X. a. Rose, the company's agent, who put
in the bid. The price asked for fifty box
system complete was $9075, which was OBJ
jected to by Chief Glass as excessive.
At Il conference held ii week ago the chief
interposed several objections to the ac-
ceptance of the bid, but the commits
soners were convinced by City Electrician
Francis and Agent Coffee that the chief was
laboring under a misapprehension. Glass
reason for pronouncing the bid excessive was
because it stated that each of the fifty boxes
would be provided with everything complete
for signaling and connections for telephones
but no telephones. Without these instru-
ments the line would, he declared, to which
the commission agreed, be practically worth
less. He asserted that the telephones should
pe lncluueu al tne price, ana maintained
that Chief Lees of San Francisco had in
formed him that the San Francisco depart
ment had been supplied with forty boxes
complete for $1,000.
This information tended to unsette the
minds of the commissioners. They called IN
Electrician Francis of the fire department,
and he corroborated the statement of the
present Gamewell agent, Mr.. Coffee, that
the company never supplied telephone in
struments with the boxes. He also ex-
planned that the San Francisco system of
forty boxes did not include the installation
of the system.
The statements made by the electrician

for groceries furnished, were presented to the
commission for collection. Chief Glass was
instructed to find out why the officers had
not paid their bills and report at the next
meeting. In explanation of the bill said to
be due from him, Clerk Hensley says that
he has never received the macintosh, al
though it was ordered for him at the same
time that all the officers were required to
purchase coats. The garment came while
he was on a six-weeks' trip to the east,
and since his return he had no notification
from the clothiers, nor was the bill pre-
sented to him at any time.
Thd chief presented a report from Chief
of Detectives Bradsh stating that at pres
ent the full quota of 200 saloons allowed
under the rules of the commission is in
existence. This will stop the issuance of
any further licenses until vacancy occurs
or the new board changes the rule.

THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The Los Angeles Symphony orchestra,
under the direction of Harley Hamilton,
gave its third concert at the Los Angeles
theater yesterday afternoon. The audience
was much larger than has greeted either of
the two former concerts, and fairly well
filled the theater. Most of the prominent
musicians of the city, both professional and
amateur, were present, and with the rest
OF the audience gave the performers much
deserved applause. The concert was the
best given so far, and evidenced the fact
that the longer the orchestra has been to-
gether under Mr.. Hamilton the better work
it has done. The stringed instruments were
especially good, and wherever in the music
they play alone they showed great express
sion and accord. The soloist, Miss Miriam
barnes played the First Concerto in + flat
OF List with orchestral accompaniment.
Miss Barnes in her piano work showed
fine technique and power of expression.
This young pianist undoubtedly has a bril-
liant future before her.

HAND SWEEPING
Improvement on the Business Streets
Already Noticeable

Already the results of the new departure
in sweeping the business streets are an.
parent, and although the work was inauQu-
rated Monday morning with few men and
only yesterday was a full force put on, not
in years have Spring and Main streets
looked so well. The present force of hand
sweepers consists of only twelve men, six
OF whom have been regularly appointed, the
balance being street department employees
who have been detailed to this work until
the dlatory councilmen name the men
whom they desire employed. This small
force only permits of the hand sweeping OF
the main streets in the section bounded by
Temple, Fourth, Main and Broadway.
Yesterday the sprinkling carts were taken
off this section and will hereafter be but
seldom used as the pavement will be kept
so clean that there Will be no dust to blow
about. The red painted galvanized iron
cans labeled For Clean Streets" were dis
tributed throughout the district - l25 oi
them-six to block and by today the work
will have been fairly begun AS soon as
possible the sweeping force will be uni
formed in serviceable brown duck, which
will be both distinctive and durable.
The principal trouble SO far encountered
by the new force is the handling of the
muddy slush which lies in the cutters. 1t
will be impossible hereafter to allow side
walks to be washed off and the water al
lowed to run into the gutter. Here il
mingles with the dirt and makes a slush
that it is impossible to handle or put in the
catch cans which are intended solely for
dry sweepings. Leaking fire hydrants are
another source of worry, but Street Super.
intendent Drain intends to urge that these
matters be remedied at once-then, as he
announces, with a good rain for starter
to wash off the asphalt, l will show you
streets to be proud of, SO far as cleanliness,
is concerned"

purpose Of meeting her lover at the Peoples
store for the purpose of marrying him. He
did not show up and the young woman
wandered around the streets in search of
her truant lover far into the night. She
was then picked up by the police and taken
care of. Her language was incoherent, and /,
it being surmised that she was insane, she
was later removed to the county hospital,
where it was found that she was suffering
from an abcess on the breast. While she
seemed none too bright mentally and
her talk was somewhat silly this was as,
cribed to her recent confinement, although
there was no appearance of puerperal fever,
and the diagnosis was that she was not
crazy.
Still harpirg on the thought that she was
for the purpose of marriage to meet the man
who had ruined her, Margarita escaped yes
terday morning from the county hospital
and entered hack to be driven to the
church, where in her hallucination she
heard the joyous wedding bells ringing, and
once more she landed in the city jail. The
police, who are not medical experts, say
that Margarta Domnguez is undoubtedly
insane. The hospital people, who ought to
know, allege that she has her mental fac
ulties, One thing is certain-she has been
grievously wronged.
| The young Santa Monican referred to was
talked to about the case last evening
by telephone, and entered a gen
eral denial of the charge of being re
sponsible for the girls condition. Il met
her about year and half ago." he said
but since that time when we were intro
duced | have not had anything to do witt
her. | am in no way responsible for hel
condition, and wish to deny most emphat
ically the charge" Later the young mar
visited the Herald Office, and by reasor
OF his solemn oath that he had never hac
any criminal intercourse with the girl, hi
name is withheld.

THAT ELUSIVE CAUCUS
Republicans Ready to Connubiate but
No Date Is Fixed

Rumors of caucus of the Republican
members elect of the new council were rife
about the city haI yesterday. Two or more
OF the councilmen cannot meet without
starting a rumor that the SLATE" is in
process of construction. Councilmen Toll
Baker and Silver lunched with, j. r. New
berry yesterday, from which started story
that the caucus had been held. This was
denied emphatically by the parties inter
ested, and not one Of the Republicans would
admit that the date had even yet been set
Notwithstanding this it was stated by one
of those interested that a meeting was to
have been held last evening at which the
personnel of the various boards was to have
been named. Great secrecy is being OBJ.
served by all concerned and a close mouth
is maintained.
Two of the members of the new police
board will be Democrats. Speculation as
to who will be the chosen ones is rampant.
It7is said that T. E. Gibbon can remain
Il he so desires. Councilman Gridler would
like the other chair, but there are also
others. OF the Republicans Mr.. Wyman
will probably hold over, and there seems
little doubt that Thomas Goss, who did SO
much to insure Mayor Eaton's election, will
also be member.
The official bonds of Street Superinten-
dent-elect John Drain and City Engineer
Olmstead were filed yesterday with the city
clerk. Each bond is for $4,000. City Tax
ard License Collector White also filed his
bond for 100000, given by the United

was the result.
