celve This Amount.

"A great many of our people asked
the question OF one another on differ
ent occasions Of late as to the amount
Of compensation received by Expert
Accountant, Emile Bienvenu, for his
services Of auditing the city's books.
Very few seemed to know the amount
paid or to be paid Mr.. Bienvenu, and
in many instances no satisfactory re
ply could be given.
In looking over the bills that were
approved at the last session of the
city fathers, We note among the nun
Der that of Emile Bicnvenu, for audit
ing books of the city, $l65. The Sec

igation and Canal company.
Over twenty-five thousand acres OF
the richest farming land In the state
are owned by the corporation and it
owns and operates several lines of
steamships and barges.
The purposes and aims of the corpo-
ration as outlined in the articles OF
incorporation are, to carry on business

quire. buy and sell steam and sailing
vessels and barges, with whatsoever
docks, wharves and piers may be neces-
sary to carry on the business of the
company; to deal in waterWorks, wa
ter rights, water-bearing lands, and to

DIVORCE DENIED TO AGED MAN
Lack of Evidence to Corroborate
Trivial Charges Prevents Disso-
luton of Marital Bonds

Charging his wife with quarreling
and nagging at him and wheedling him
out of his property, Guy c. Nichols,
rs years of age and a resident of Pasa-
dena, yesterday appealed to Judge Con-
rey in department two of the superior
court to release him frim the distaste-
full marital bondage.
Nichols was married in 1894 at Riv-
erside, his wife, Elizabeth Nichols, be-
ing 23 years his junior. Everything
went well until the couple moved to
Pasadena, when the trouble COM
menced.
According to Nichols allegations. she
talked to him until he decided some of
his property to her and then she be-
gan to speak of the property as her
property" This angered the old man
and the quarreling began in earnest.
Nichols testified that when his VIII,
talked to him too much he placed his
hands over his ears in order to keep
from hearing.
Because of the lack of corroborative
evidence the divorce was denied.

apartments at SAL South Flower street
last Sunday night and the author of
the story that she was robbed of her
jewelry and money by men who as
sisted her to her residence, endeavoring
to create an amount of free advertis-
ing for herself?
The police and detectives who say
they wasted much time In trying to
solve the mystery say Yes"
Mrs. Walters notified the police and
detectives yesterday that her jewels
had been found between the double
screen doors of the front entrance to
her residence, where according to the
woman they had evidently been
thrown by the men," whom she says
she believes attempted to rob her"
but became frightened.
From the beginning we did not be-
lieve that the money and jewelry had
been taken from her." said Captain of
Detectives Flammer yesterday. when
she fell down the steps leading to her
containing all her valuables. This was
handed to her relatives by the young
men who ran to her assistance when
she fell.
I'VE have known right along the
identity of the young men. The morn
ing that the story of her alleged rob-
berry appeared in the papers the young
men called at the police station and
left their Names Both of them are

FEELS NO ALARM
AS TO FINANCIAL DEFICIT

department. Street Superintendent
Hanley conducts his business on the
broad basis that he Is allowed so much
each year and the amount that he may
spend each month is just one-twelfth
Of the total. To find his balances he
simply takes the amount spent and
divides the total by the months in
which 1t has been expended. His de-
partment now is working under an
overdraft and why, how, or when are
difficult questions to answer offhand
Mr.. Fountain stated that the Municipal
league will recommend that the city's
accounts be fixed on a revenue and dis
bursement basis SO that the nature and
extent of an overdraft can be readily
learned.
Another recommendation from the
Municipal league which will come as a
result of the investigation is that the
city auditors office be the central
point of control for the different de-
partments and that monthly balances
be rendered for each department. In
this way the accounts of the city auditor
and the different departments will I've

While nearly every department has
to account for a deficit already, the

TO SEEK NEW GARBAGE BIDS

Through an error in the specifica-
tions for garbage wagons members or
the city council believe that 1t will be
necessary to again advertise for bids
for the wagons under new specifica-
tions. The next advertisement will be
the third and 1t is hoped that the luck
that hangs about the number will
bring good results The first time bids
were asked for there were no speciti-
cations to guide the bidders. These
specifications were later drawn and
passed at one of the hurried sessions OF
the council when the award of the

Bids were advertised to be opened
Dec. L. This date is approaching and
as yet no bids have been received.
The error in the specifications, that
may make Reimbursement necessary
is that the wagon box shall be five
feet wide and twelve feet long. This
is an odd size and no garbage wagons
now on the market conforms to 1t. To
secure these wagons It would be neces-
sary to have them built to order, a
much more costly process than buying
one of The standard makes. 1t was
the intention of the council to have
the specifications so that any of the
makes could be used.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 22.-The
court-martial proceedings in the trial
OF Midshipman Minor Meriwether, Jr.,
on three charges connected with the
death of Midshipman James r.. Branch,
with whom he engaged i'm a fist fight
began today at the naval academy.
Counsel for the defense objected to
Commander Sidney A. Staunton as a
member of the court on account OF
having expressed an opinion of the
guilt of the accused. The objection was
sustained.
Most of the testimony this morn-
ing had direct bearing upon the Sec
ond charge, that of violation of rule
for the government of the navy, the
specification being that Meriwether had
called Branch a sneak and coward,
or words to that effect.
Other important witnesses were mid
shipmen who were present when the
cause of the trouble arose, and dur
ing the course of the evidence the fact
of the existence of the "code," body
of laws outside and contrary to the
regulations of the institution, was
clearly established.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-11-23
WILLING to Stop Fighting

He showed the court the gloves
which had been turned over to him
us having been used in the fight. They
are known as punching bag gloves and
are used as a protection for the hands
when punching the bag and have al
most no padding.
Midshipman Harold V. McKittrick
who acted as a second for Branch dur
ing the fight, told Of their engagement
and the insistence of both boys that
the fight srould be to finish. The
fight itself, he testified, lasted over
twenty-five rounds of two minutes
each, with one minute intermission.
Early in the fight one of Branch's eyes
was closed, but he was holding his
own. At the end of the twenty-second
round Meriwether fouled by hitting in
a clinch and offered to forfeit the fight.
This Branch and his seconds would
not allow, insisting on a finish. This
is regarded as a strong point for Meri-
wether, showing that he wished the
fight to stop.
