Good Samaritan hospital, where he
was taken Wednesday from his home

ated upon for an abscess Of the lungs.
In DIR. Westlake, Los Angeles loses

name of the donor should not be made
public he gave large sums to charit-
able enterprises and to the deserving
poor.
DIR. Westlake was taken Ill five
weeks ago and the operation performed
by Doctors e. A. Bryant, F. c.. Davis
and p. C. H. PAIL came as a last re-
source from which ne failed to rally.
DIR. Westlake was born in Canada
forty-eight years ago and was resi-
dent of Los Angeles for seven years.
In addition to having a large practice,
he was president of the California
Corsica Citron company and the West
lake -Rommell Oil company, besides
owning large mining interests in
Arizona.
He was a graduate of the medical
department of McGill University at
Toronto, Canada, and was given di-
plomas at Edinburgh and Vienna
for proficient work in medicine.
He was married to Miss Fannie Far
quhar in 1885, who alone survives
him.

ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
BRUTALITY TO ANIMAL
Alleged to Have Driven Down Main
Street Beating and Shouting
at His Horse

John Munie, Joe Day and Frank Kee
were arrested yesterday afternoon
while driving. 1t is alleged, down Main
street at high rate Of speed, beating
and shouting at their horse, which was
almost exhausted. Weaving in and out
between street cars and heavy wagons,
narrowly averting serious accident, ac-
cording to the police, the three reeling
occupants Of the buggy urged the tired
horse to- greater speed, but as they
dashed across Fourth street they were
intercepted by Patrolman Miller.
The three men leaped from the buggy
and threatened violence to the police
man, but at that moment Detectives
Walsh and Ingram rushed to Miller
assistance, and the three men were ar
rested.
When asked who owned the tired,
trembling horse the men declared that
they did not know, but had hired it
from a livery stable on Main street
early in the morning. They continued
their demonstration against the police
man Who arrested them, but were hur-
ried away to the city Jail in the patrol
wagon, while Detective Walsh took
charge of the horse, which, it is said.
was in a serious condition from hard
driving and brutal treatment.
An Investigation was made
police. but the owner of the horse cuu.a
not be found. The men admitted they
had driven from Westlake park to
Eastlake park and number of other
places, but protested that their treat
ment Of the horse was no other than
II deserved.
The charge against the three men
may be changed to grand larceny. il
the police are able to collect sufficient
evidence before tomorrow afternoon,

LACK OF WATER
CAUSES PROTEST
RESIDENTS IN SOUTHERN PART
OF CITY COMPLAIN
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP FAILURE
Declare That They Have to Pay for
Something They Do Not Get, and
That They Are Without Fire
Protection

The second complaint against the
methods employed by the Los Angeles
Water department was filed with the
! clerk of the council and was signed
by many of the resident property own
ers Of the southern portion Of the
city.
That municipal ownership may have
its drawbacks is indicated by this pc
tition. Other public utility corpora
tlons in the city delivering the goods
through underground mains laid be-
meath the streets have been criticised
because 1t was said they did not lay
mains fast enough to take care Of the
residents of the city. From the state
yesterday 1t appears that the city, as
q corporation, has been negligent along
this line.
1t Is stated in this petition that in
the section specified there Is not water
enough supplied for domestic pur-
poses and that recently handsome
residence burned to the ground with
the fire department looking on, unable
to do anything because there was no
water in the pipes. .
Petition In Part
The petition in part is as follows:
For a long time, your petitioners
have been compelled, and are COM
PEELED today, to pay into the water de-
partment high and most unreason-
able rate for water service that
would not satisfy the wants Of the in
habitants of village.
"The pressure in the water pipes Is
so low that frequently we experience
great difficulty in securing sufficient
water for domestic purposes.
I'VE also call attention of your
honorable body to the fact that under
present conditions we are practically
without fire protection. Our magnifi-
cient fire department always responds
promptly to a call, but what can the
firemen do without water?
"A few nights since, at the hour of
1890 o'clock, the handsome two-story
frame residence of Henry Schneider,
at No. 1868 Dorchester avenue, was dis
covered to be on fire. An alarm was
turned in, and the fire department
responded promptly. The firemen, how
ever, were forced to stand by and see
the building completely destroyed for
the reason that there was not drop of
water in the fire hydrants. This resi-
dence cost thousands of dollars, and
could have easily been saved had there
been water.
Says There Is No Excuse
1--WE fail to discover any excuse
whatsoever why these conditions pre-
vail, The fire insurance companies de-
mand high rate of insurance from us
on the ground that we have no fire
protection. The water department
charges us a high rate notwithstand-
ing these conditions, and is very pune
tual in its collections. If we do not
settle our water bill Immediately, or
sooner, our water is shut off. We are
not receiving value for our money.
When we protest at the office of the
water department our protest is utter
ly disregarded."
