PASADENA, Feb. 2s.-The case Of
the people vs.. Adolph Ramish, the
contractor, charged with cruelty to
animals, was resumed this morning
continued from last week. This case
which is being closely watched by hu-
name societies and contractors all over
the state, is an important one in that
there are at least two close legal ques-
tions. Whether or not a society can
take animals from their owners with
out giving security will be one of the
points contested, and the other will be
as to the constitutionality of the state
law which allows the humane society
to make arrests and receive fines in
cruelty cases. Judge Rossiter is prose-
cutting the case, and Attorney Finlay-
son of Los Angeles is the lawyer for
the defense.
Most of the testimony today was
proof that Ramish allowed a horse
to work at Dolgeville which was
wholly unfit for work. To this two
medical men, Drs. DeBron and F. f.
Rowland and Acting President Bowen
testified. The trial before Judge
ISlamroth, without jury, was not con-
cluded tonight and will be continued
tomorrow.
Municipal and Bond Elections Soon
AS soon as the preliminary arrange
ments can be made a resolution will
be introduced into the city council ask
ing for a million dollar water bond
election. 1t is now expected by the
city administration that this election
will occur during the latter part of
March, which will bring it close to
the regular municipal election on the
first Monday in April
