FORTUNE AWAITS MISSING
ONES IN GERMANY
RELATIVES IN OLD COUNTRY ARE
MUCH PERTURBED
Couple Who Came to Los Angeles a
Few Months Ago Disappear and
Local Police Are Asked to Aid In
Finding Them

Because they have suddenly and
without warning dropped completely
from sight, the friends and relatives of
Martin Zeigler and his wife, who came
to Los Angeles from Germany last
summer, are much perturbed.
Zeigler and his wife lived in Frei-
burg. Baden, Germany, until about a
year ago, when they left for Los An
geles. For few weeks they corre-
sponded regularly, but now that no word
has reached the old country for sew
eral months, the relatives fear that
trouble has befallen them.
About two months ago Zeigler's par
ents mailed him a letter to his former
address here, 313 East Twelfth street,
which was returned to them unopened.
Shortly after the return of their letter.
they mailed him. a large sum of money
as his inheritance in will, and that
too was returned.
A communication from Germany ad-
dressed to Chief of Police Hammel
urges thorough search for Zeigler
and his wife, stating that his relatives
will reward the person who advises
them of his whereabouts.

POLICE OFFICERS
IN WORLD MATCH
LOCAL FORCE TO PARTICIPATE
IN BIG SHOOT
ALL ARE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC
Challenge Of Chief Kelley Of st. Louis
for Great Target Contest Meets
With Hearty co-opera-
tlon Here

Police officials throughout the United
States were somewhat startled a few
days ago when Matthew Kelley, chief Of
police of st. Louis, announced that he
would challenge any department In the
country to a shooting contest, the con-
testing teams to consist of anywhere
from ten to 100 men.
Chief Kelley maintains that such a
contest would be great thing for the
police departments of all large cities,
as It would create an interest in marks
manship that is now sadly lacking.
Should such contest ever material
ize Los Angeles will be we'll repre-
sented. In speaking of the proposed
match yesterday afternoon, Capt
Bradish of the local detective force
said:
"I heartily approve Of such a con-
test. 1t would do a whole lot toward
making the men interested in the ac-
curacy of their shooting, and 1 hope
that 1t will take place soon. In my
opinion there should be a law COM
pelling police officers to do target prac-
tice, and in all large cities 1 think
they do.
"In Los Angeles there has been very
little work of the sort. A very good
range was constructed a few years ago
and for little while 1t was used. Sud-
denly the interest fell off, and now the
men very rarely have any kind Of prac-
tice with their weapons.
"It is possible that during the recent
national convention of Chiefs Of Police
Departments at Washington the matter
was taken up. But you may be sure
that when the time comes I will do all
in my power to further the interests Of
the enterprise"
Capt. Auble is also very enthusiastic
over the proposed match and stated
that it could be pulled off at very
small expense. He said that he would
give it his hearty cooperation and
would see that Los Angeles is we'll rep
resented.

DOG POLL TAXES
MUST NOW BE PAID
Nearly 500 Men, Women and Boys
Line Up to Give the City So
for PRIVILEGE


Dog days are here again. Not the
hot, sweltering days so called in the
east but real dog days just the same.
Dog licenses for the coming year
are now due, yesterday being the first
day on which they could be paid. The
peculiar feature Of this license is that
it becomes delinquent the same day 1t
becomes due.
All day long yesterday men, women
and boys, some with dogs, but mostly
without, flocked into the city license
collectors office. DR.. ]. Van Week,
who has held tag No. I for several
years, was the first to arrive and again
secured this tag.
When the office closed at o'clock
between 400 and 500 licenses had been
issued. The description of the CANNES
must be given and the answers to the
overworked cashier were sometimes
wonderful.
what kind of dog is Sport?" was
asked of a small boy.
"Oh, he is almost any kind of a dog.
He's half bloodhound and half st. Ber-
nard and part greyhound and his father
is the champion fighting bulldog in
town." was the reply.
A woman approached the window.
She wore glasses, held her head so high
that she could see the back Of her neck,
and under her arm she carried her
darling" He was an inoffensive lit
tie fellow and blinked at the cashier.
IT want license for my darling "
demanded she of the glasses. II don't
want one of those that you issue to Or
binary dogs. will give you to under
stand that my darling Wellington is
a perfect gentleman in every respect.
1 think this system of taxing such
beautiful creatures is barbarous."
BY this time the cashier had the IL
cense written and broke in with: 1.-TWO
dollars, please, madam-next!"
Tax and License Collector Johnson
says the number of dogs in the city in
creases with the population. Last year
1886 licenses were issued.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
PROTESTS TO COUNCIL
Adopts Resolution Against Proposed
Opening of Street Through
School Grounds

The board of education adopted a
resolution yesterday afternoon protest.
ing against the opening of Fort street,
from a point on California street 225
feet west Of Hill street, northerly for
700 feet
Some of the property owners In the
district have presented a petition to
the council praying that the street be
opened. The line Of the proposed
street runs back into the old city ceme-
terry. which at some time is to be con-
verted into a park. One Of the reasons
given for the opening of the street is
that it will afford an entrance into this
park.
In the resolution the board of edu-
cation points out that for 400 feet the
street would run through the grounds
Of the high school, thus taking away
valuable space from the already

shown that in order to establish a suit

would be left twenty-five feet above
the street, beside cut of that depth
and within twenty-five feet Of the
edge of It.
The question will go before the
board of public works this afternoon
for settlement.

A minister Of Justice .

New York, Chicago, and Washing
ton are undertaking TO purge their
courts of the stigma of harboring
eAminaIs among their haTTisters. So
sar as is known here in Washington
70 one of the three has gone further

The second city of the three is just
now deeply interested in the career
of lawyer who is described as an
ambulance chaser. His client, q woman
named Inga Hansen, is supposedly
poor. She is alleged TO have sustained
some injury at the hands of q street
railway. and of her suit tor damages.
wherein she was represented by this
ambulance chaser, the Cincinnati
Commercial-Tribu observes:
The testimony adduced on the trial
derfully constructed in detail that a
special investigation of The case was
made and Inga Hansen was indicted for
perjury committed on the trial. On the
trial OF the Indictment the charge of per-
jury was fully made out and inga Han
sen is now in the Joliet penitentiary.

sentence.
In the absence of proof that this
woman was lured into her misrepre-
sentations, her fellow-citizens are
bound to presume that she offended
against the law Willingly and inten-
tionally. But what of the attorney
who taught her what to say? What
of the brain that not only conceived
this plot TO obtain money by false
pretenses, but was the active agent
in fulfilling it? Has he been guilty OF
nothing but 'unprofessional con
duct?"
Not if the law means what it says
Unless there is one set of laws for the
lawyer ana another Tor the client this
man is twice as guilty as the poor
woman who now languishes in the
penitentiary on an 'fndeterminate
sentence" Il viii be interesting to
note how long the decent lawyers of
Chicago are willing this man should
enjoy the protection of the court and
wear the cloak of a minister of JUS
tice.

As Others See Us.

Governor Hoch. of Kansas. has been
''in our midst" and il is therefore
literal. not fignrative or collOquial, TO
say he has given us a pain at one or
two points. This is said in sorrow
rather than Ill anger; sorrow that
Washington and Philadelphia and
New York and Jerome and Lawson
and the other institutions of the East
should not have measured up TO the
ideals and expectations Of the Sun
flower executive.
The eminent Kansan explained that
he had never been East before, and
had never seen a larger body of water
than Lake Michigan until the present
trip. On the whole he was disposed
to give his commendation to the East
as a place for amusement, but he
didn't think the East nearly so wise
as he thought the East thought itself.
Lawson, Jerome and La Toilette have
all been out trying 10 improve Kansas
Of late and lead it in the ways of
Jerome of bad manners. Lawson of
triteness, and La Toilette Of irrele-
vance. Kansas, he ventured, knew
more about what they were trying TO
tell it than they knew themselves;
and as 10 that he is likely enough
right.
Governor Hoch was not able to in
dorse all the architecture of the
Eastern cities. He thought the Con-
gressionAl Library was as good aa
SoIomon's Temple, but he would have
added a couple OF stories to the Ma
tional Capitol, which, he opined, look
ed squatty He thought the Senate
chamber at Topeka preferable to the
one in the National Capitol AS TO
which il will violate no confidence to
say that lots Of Eastern people go
farther than this and prefer the
Kansas senate TO the one that rules
the nation

PRESIDENTIAL BOOnS
At CHICAGO CONFERENCE
Battle Royal Between Shaw and Cum
minis With Bees IN Bonnets At
tracing Attention.

A goodly flock Of Presidential boofns
are likely to get mixed up with the
Chicago reciprocity conference this
week. 1t IS said that the movement
faVoring Governor Cummins, OF Iowa,
will be nursed into life and strength
during the meeting, and that the gov
ernor viii make an address calculated
to place him In the front rank Of ad-
Vanced tariff thinkers.
In this connection, the fact that Iowa
is credited with two Presidential az
Dirants. and that one of these is a chief
of standpatters and the other a leader
among advocates OF reciprocity and re-
vision, has attracted new attention TO
conditions IN that State. Shaw and
Cummins are as antagonistic IN their
economic views as in their personal re-
latlOnS.
Iowa has been regarded as the home of
the present revision and reciprocity
movement; yet its latest official Re
publican pronouncenent on The subject
was a retreat from it's earlier express
siOns of the Iowa idea
The Cummins people indeed have IN
sisted that they nave not retreated, but
The opposition just as strongly insists
that in effect the radical tariff view has
suffered defeat In the state.
Iowa, then, becomes a stage, on which,
in view Of the nation, Will be fought
