added to, we must cut them both in
order to close the year without de-
ficit.
I'VE believe the library has larger
fund in proportion to it's needs than
any other department in the city and
to discontinue the purchase of books or
some other feature would work no
great hardship. 1t is not dangerous to
life and property as a reduction of the
police force and fire department are.
The finance committee has been almost
wild to know where the money was
coming from to pay necessary expenses
and in the library we see q little re-
lief. The board should be willing to
help out and We believe it will do so
cheerfully."

finance committee and are willing to
do all we can to help" said Director
Dockweiler I'VE have asked for bids
for 10000 square feet of floor space and

Librarian Lummis said he had esti-
mated the cost of removal and found
that it would be about $4,000 and
would require at least six weeks.
While no definite conclusion was
reached the meeting broke up in a
spirit of good fellowship.

what shall we do?"
when we told the library board to
vacate we realized that it would be i'm

and suggested the alternative of pay
ing rent" answered Chairman Smith.
I'VE are paying out $500 a month for

we believe the library is abundantly
able to stand a part of this rent as
it is due to the fact that the library
is occupying it's present quarters that
we have to pay this rent.

SEWER INVESTIGATING BOARD
CAN FIND NOTHING TO DO

ready for the investigation they faced
a long row of empty chairs that had
been placed for the convenience of the
protestants. Mr. Koebig acted as chair
man and stated that the commission
was ready to hear definite charges
against the method of building the big
sewer and called on the compalnants
TO make these charges in detail.
Silence From Chairs
His announcement was greeted by a.
dense silence from the empty chairs.
City Engineer Stafford was made de-
fendant In the case. AS there appeared
to be no prosecution. the charges filed
several months ago in which II was
stated sections 81, SO, So, 81, 5S and 50
of the specifications, relating to brick
and mortar, were being violated were
taken as the complaint. Mr.. Stafford
was asked to put in his defense. The
city engineer declared that while the
specifications might have been violated
in minor details in his opinion there
was no material variation.
The commission declared the whole
thing appeared to be uncalled for, but
fixed Saturday afternoon at 1880 o'clock
as the time to go to the outfall sewer
and make a personal investigation. On
this trip the commission will be accom-
panied by the city engineer one protes-
tant, If one can be found who Is willing
to make the trip, and representatives

SATAN, POLICE CAT, CONQUERS
BIG DOG In FIERCE BATTLE

for his pugilistic humor to pass off
before they try to get acquainted.
Yesterday afternoon Satan" left his
excelsior chambers in the rear Of the
city prison and strolled to the en-
trance Of the station. The light blind
ed him for a moment so he spent
some time massaging his optics. In
cidentally he waxed his mustache
brought himself to n military position
and gazed up and down the avenue
In search Of possible adventure and
more glory.
1t soon appeared. out of the Tally
no stables with an elephantine tread
meandered huge mastiff dog. The
dogs head was hanging low with
worry written on his brow. The
mastiff came to a halt and raising
his head shifted the air. In a mo.
ment his eyes rested on Satan"
Their eyes met and the next minute
Satan" advanced a few steps,
Just about my size" muttered
Satan" and started to the center of
the street. The mastiff also crossed.
The gladiators met. In an instant the
air was rent with howl which dis
tinctly came from the dog The fight
was on in earnest.
Round one lasted ten seconds.
Satan" described circles around the
mastiff and his tail assumed proper
tions of a small pine tree. The mastiff
tried to break away, but every avenue
of escape was completely cut off. In
the opinion OF the dog it was to the
death. His big jaws came together
like the reports of a small revolver.
But always he inclosed so much air
Round two lasted about three Sec
onds. Satan" grew more and more
ferocious. Blood was streaming from
the nose and eyes of the huge gray
dog. moving picture machine could
and lunges made by Satan" The dog
suddenly attempted new trick.
Round about he whirled his massive
form. His awkward revolutions at
tracted Satan" Satan" was hav-
ing a merry-go-round ride on the dogs
back while the crowds on the sidewalk
screamed
Round three. Satan" and the dog
separated. Each prepared for the
finish. They backed to the ropes.
'Me-ew-ew- -ew-ew," came viciously
from the cat. A distressed "gr-r-r-r-r''
came from the other side. They met.
Satan" planted all fours in the face
of the dog and rapidly tore the long
dropping ears to shreds with his
needle-like teeth. The dog rolled over
and over, but Satan" was glued on.
Out of the stables came the owner
of the dog, armed with long whip.
1t cracked, and Satan was off in a
flash. He scampered to the sidewalk
and turned around long enough to see
the veterinary surgeons carry away the
conquered mastiff. At 5 o'clock
Satan" was trying to make up with
new collar which served as a cham

Satan" the official feline attache Of
limelight yesterday afternoon and for
a period of fifteen minutes gave the
police officers and detectives an ex-
hibition of the prettiest and most
scientific three-round go between MIN
self and a huge mastiff dog that was
ever recorded in animal prize fight
circles in Los Angeles.
True to his established fame, Satan"
came off winner and the battered and
bleeding massive piece of dog flesh
was counted out in the third round,
while Satan" proudly walked off with
the championship belt neatly sur
rounding his bite and bullet proof hide.
A cheer arose when the cat had dem
onstrated his fighting qualities. He
was carried into the private quarters
of the desk sergeant and made the
guest of honor at a dinner of which
he was the only participant.
Satan" 1t will be remembered, re-
Gently celebrated his eighteenth birth
day. During his remarkably long ca
reer he has made a specially of prize
fights and not once has he ever walked
from the field of battle the vanquished

Satan" is by no means what may
be termed a quiet, peaceful member
of his tribe. On the other hand he
spends three-fourths of his time get

getting out of it. On bright sunshiny
days he will stand in the entrance to
the police station and "size up" every
dog, cat and fowl that happens within
the atmosphere of the First street
corridors.
Dogs and cats which are not ac-
quainted with him will stand on the
opposite side of the street and ponder
for hours whether or not to attempt
to give him the glad hand" and seek
to make acquaintance. 1t is supposed
by the police and detectives that the
numerous scars decora ting the animal
are source of envy to other men,

families. When they are not positive
that they can conquer him they wait

FIRE BOARD TO "INvEsTIGATE"
Those Who Made Charges Against
Chief Lips Will &c Given
Hearinu

The fire commission will meet at 10
O'Clock this morning to Investigate"
Miss Mathewson and Fire Insurance
Adjuster d. b. Wilson, who have ac-
cused Fire Chief Lips of being in
competent.
Miss Mathewson preferred charges
against Fire Chief Lips and one of the
engine companies under his direction
at a meeting of the board of fire COM
missioners last Saturday, alleging ne
glect of duty at the recent fire In which
the Hotel Coronado was destroyed.
Before Miss Mathewson's charges
were made public a communication was
read from the fire chief in which he
requested the commission to cite Miss
Mathewson to appear and prove her
charges. He had the same action
taken in the case of Adjuster Wilson,
who, although he made no charges
against Chief Lips to the fire COM
mission, made some scathing remarks
about him in his report on the Harris
&, Frank fire.
1t is asserted that the past history
of one of the principal witnesses will
be brought up and an effort made to
impeach this witness testimony.

Mrs. Goldman will file a petition for

one of her relatives last evening.
Goldman came here from New York
and paid overwhelming attentions to
BesS Cheney. He was agreeable and
made. many friends in a short time.
Bess was of age and we made no OBJ
tections t. the marriage. We never
dreamed that while her picture and
Goldman's were appearing In Los An
geles newspapers in connection with
the account of the wedding that Gold
mans photo and an entirely different
record of him was on file in the po-
lice department.
"He came well recommended, seemed
to have plenty of money to spend and
was handsome and interesting"
Owing to her serious condition Mrs.
Goldman has been able to say little
as yet.
Goldman admitted to officers in St.
Louis that he served a term In the
penitentiary on a charge of swlndling
a Los Angeles diamond merchant but
denies that he has done anything to
warrant a criminal charge being
made against him now.
Goldman will not be brought to Los
Angeles, as the men who preferred
the charges against him say they will
not prosecute. Instead he will be held
in st. Louis until he can be turned
over to the New York authorities, by
whom he Is wanted on serious
charge.
Goldman declares he is the victim of
a blackmalling scheme and that he
will vindicate himself.
Mrs Goldman will live with her par
ents on South Grand avenue.

LIBRARY TO STAY
AND PAY RENT
BOARD HAS NOT SECURED
QUARTERS
City Needs the Money, Is Statement
of Members of Council-Movinq
Expected to Cost About
$4,000

The board of library directors and
the finance committee of the city
council held a Joint meeting last night
to discuss ways and means of reliev-
ing the library. While no definite con-
clusion was reached it was practically
decided the library is to remain where
It is until the beginning of the next
fiscal year and pay rent to the city. In
the meantime the library will stop
the purchase of new boots and cur
tail its expenses in every way possi-
BILE to provide for the rent money.
IF we cannot pay the 5000 a month
which has been suggested, we may
agree on some other figure" said Di-
rector Doclweiler.
Il don't believe we can consider any
thing less than $500 month as the
space occupied by the library is worth
at least that much to us in hard
cash." answered Chairman Smith of
the finence committee.
"I'll tell you what we will do" said
Mr.. Dockweiler. II believe the board
will support me in the plan to pay our
necessary current expenses and turn
all the rest over to the city. That
seems to be the best we can do said
Mr.. Dockweiler.
The meeting was called at the sug-
gestion of the president of the library
board, DR.. Trueworthy and he said he
had called it for the purpose of learn
Ing the finance committees opinion
on the beet methods to pursue in the
removal of the library.

AS we have no site and no building,
we cannot pick the library up and
move it through the streets on wheels, -

like taking any decisive action until
the courts have declared whether or
not We have a right to Central park,

Young Los Angeles Girl Says She
Believed Husband Honorable
Until He Was Arrested by
st. Louis Police

Mrs. Siegfried Goldman who left Los
Angeles two months ago a happy
bride, returned yesterday, her health
shattered and her spirit broken.
The man whom she had believed to
be honorable and whom she had mar
ried after a romantic courtshlp was
arrested last Saturday in st. Louis
on charges which the police assert
brands him as clever swindler Of ma
tional reputation.
But the spirit which made Miss Bess

Goldman. She rues her action, but con-
WINGED that her husband is as black
as painted by the police, she will ask
the local courts to annul her marriage
and restore her maiden name.

Cheney, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs, w.
b. Cheney was married in Los An
geles Oct. "a to Goldman and the
couple departed for a wedding trip
to New York. They We're on their waY

was arrested on charge of defraud-
ing citizens of Ocean Park of sums
aggregating $4,000.
Goldman was released soon after his
arrest because of lack of definite in
and was on his way to the depot to
start for Los Angeles with his wife,
when a second telegram arrived and
he was again arrested.
Mrs Goldman continued her journey
to Los Angeles and yesterday she ar
rived here. She went directly to the
