SALT0N RISES SLOWLY;
RAILROAD TRACKS SAFE
Southern Pacific Officials Believe All
Danger Is over Unless South
west Winds Arise

west Winds Arise
One and one half inches was the rise
of the Salton sea for twelve hours, reg
istered last night on the railroad gauge
at Salton. This is half an inch less
than for the preceding twelve hours
and unless southwest wind should
arise railroad engineers, hard at work
building detour for the Southern Pa
cifc tracks, are hopeful that traffic
will not be further interrupted.
District superintendent r. II. Ingram
and Division Superintendent H. v.
Platt of the Southern Pacific and other
Angelenos who have been at the scene
of the flood district will return to Los
Angeles this morning on the regular
train. Resident Engineer Ellison will
not leave the work until 1t is completed
and all danger to Southern Pacific
property has passed. Epes Randolph,
president of the California Develop
ment company, will go to Yuma.
1t was stated at the general head
quarters of the road yesterday that the
ten miles of new track which is being
constructed will be completed by Tues
day or Wednesday, thus providing
against any further trouble from the
flood waters, as the rails will be from
six to eight feet above those of the
present right of way.

DISHONEST YARD MAN Is
GIVEN PRISON SENTENCE
Is Sentenced to Three Years at Hard
Labor for Robbing Employ

Carl Johnsons habit OF trimming a
mans lawn and then robbing his
home caused Judge Smith of the SUI
perior court to sentence him to three
years hard labor in San Quentin peni-
tentiary yesterday.
johnson pleaded guilty to charge OF
burglary. He was employed by L.
Frye last week as yard man and, ac-
cording to his own statement, carefully
cut the surplus greenery from the front
lawn and then entered the house, stole
two suits of clothes and pair of opera
glasses and escaped. He sold one suit
and the glasses and when hard pressed
by officers burned the other property
Johnson's only remark was that he re-
GREETED going to prison as he would be
unable to cut any more grass.

SAND HIDES HIS PANCAKES;
RESTAURATEUR COMPLAINS

w. H. Anderson, who conducts a
restaurant next door to the new Bill
icke-Rowan hotel building, which is
being constructed at Fifth and Spring
streets, appealed to Street Superin-
tendent Hanley yesterday to compel
the contractor to remove the pile of
sand in the street in front of his place.
Anderson says the sand is so high that
1t hides the pancakes on exhibition in
his windows and Injuries his business.
The street superintendent will order
removal of the sand today and thus
give the pancakes chance.

CLUB WOMEN LEND SUPPORT
Miss Susan B. Anthony and Rev. Anna
Shaw at Hearing

Club women rallied to The support of
Miss Mary Jones last evening in large
numbers and there was probably not
woman's organization in Los Ange-
les which was not represented.
The lower floor and gallery were
crowded with fashionably dressed wo-
men with one purpose, that of seeing
the case of Miss Jones given fair
Investigation.
When the communication of the H.
brary board was read there was ST.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-28

adjourned last night he said in sub
stance:
I'm view of the fact that the board
dismissed Miss Jones without a hear
ing, although according to the terms
Of the resolution removing her the ac-
tion Of the board was taken for good
cause and upon numerous grounds
specified, l deemed It proper that the
board should be required to submit EVIL
dence in support of the charges upon
which they had acted In removing Miss
Jones.
when called upon to do so the mem
bers of the board through their attor-
ney refused to offer any evidence, but
their attorney read a communication
signed by four members Of the board
in which 1t was asserted, substantially,
that the action of the board In remov-
ing Miss Jones had been taken afer
conference with me and with my con-
sent and also that 1 had subsequently
approved their action.
THAT for these reasons and for the
reason that the members of the board
desired to call me as q witness they
objected to my conducting the investi-
cation and declined to proceed or to
submit any evidence whatever. 1 Of
fered to testify If the members of the
board desired to call me as a witness
but they still declined to proceed. MY
effort to hold an investigation was
thus frustrated.
Approved Boards Action
'In reference to the statements con-
tanned in the communication above
mentioned that the action of the board
in removing Miss Jones had been taken
after conference with me and with my
consent and that 1 had subsequently
approved such action l have to say
that these statements are substantially
true.
II was informed by members of the
board and believed that Miss Jones
was about to resign and that 1T was
necessary to select another librarian
and when informed of the selection of
Mr. Lummis 1 approved it. Subse-
quently was informed that Miss
Jones had refused to resign and had
been removed upon the grounds stated
in the boards resolution of June 81.
"These grounds If well founded were
certainly good cause for removal and 1
was informed by the members of the
board and believed that the charges
made were founded on facts and could
be substantiated and 1 therefore had
reason to believe and did believe that
the removal of Miss Jones was justi-
fed.
IT was certainly willing, If called as
a witness, to have testified that 1 be-
ieved the statements made by the
members of the board to me in refer
ence to their action in removing Miss
Jones.
II was utterly unprepared for the at
titude assumed by the members of the
board this evening. 1 very much re-
gret that the members of the board
should have refused to allow this in
vestigation to be made and the facts to
be laid before the public.
Il thought it was my duty to hold
a public inquiry in order that it might
be publicly determined whether or not
the representations made to me were
in fact true and 1 thought and still
think that it was the duty of the mem
bers of the board to submit to such an
inquiry. Their refusal to do so can
not but create the impression that the
charges made by them are not well
founded"

stoned by the expression to the boarl
we did not proceed summarily to act up
on our own well established opinion that
there was good cause for her removal
and that the service would be bene-
flied thereby, but proceeded with the
utmost deliberation and with your dis
tinguished consideration and approval
of the correctness of our course, backed
by the opinion of the city attorney that
it was entirely regular.
'"There are and can be but two propo-
sitions involved in this matter: First,
was the removal authorized by law;
ana. second was it prompted by proper
motives?
LAS to the first the city attorney ad-
vises in the affirmative.
"As to the second, the only method
of establishing such motives is by an
inquiry into the circumstances sur
rounding our action and as you were
fully advised as to every step taken in
the course of the proceeding and were
freely consulted in regard thereto, your
judgment having been adopted and
acted upon, you are an important and
well-nigh Indispensable witness for the
purpose Of establishing the motives
which inspired our action; and inquiry
which would simply develop facts al
ready within your personal knowledge
would be an idle ceremony.
Cannot Issue Process
"Then again we would respectfully
call your honors attention to the fact
that under the law your honor has not
the power to secure the issuance of any
subpoena or other process which would
compel the attendance before an inves-
tigating body of such witnesses as are
acquainted with facts concerning the
administration of the public library, but
who for business, personal or other
reasons are nevertheless unwilling 10
appear, but whose testimony 1t Is abso-
lutely essential to secure, in order that
all the facts may be fully and properly
presented to the investigating body and
to the end that the public may have the
benefit of learning all of the facts which
prompted the library board in making
the change hereinbefore referred to-
1--WE do not, and we know you do not,
shrink from the fullest and most COM
plete investigation of any act which
is now brought in question: but we re-
spectfully suggest that in view Of the
embarrassment which might be oc-
casioned by your being called as wit
ness in matter over which you are
presiding as judge, that other arrange
ments be made than the one apparently
now contemplated
I'm conclusion we invite the fullest
investigation of the. matter in aues-
tion or of any other act of our admin
istration. but respectfully submit that
when such investigation is had we have
the moral and constitutional right to-
require that 1t take place before law

full power to secure the production Of
evidence, the attendance OF witnesses

where is the case now?" said Miss
Jones when the meeting had ad-
journed. IT wish / knew. Just what
my future action will be depends on

Charles f. Lummis was present and
said: 1T was what and everyone who
took a square view of the case ex-
pected. If there had been sincerity be-
hind all of this agitation something
might have come of 1t but 1t was mere
sentimentalism and of course it fell
through"

Jones, said; "We were prepared to an

ion, when reached, will be determine
tive of the matters in controversy"
Rodman's Name Missing

This communication was signed by
all of the members of the board with
the exception of Willoughby Rodman,
who is not in the city. He is the only
director taking Miss Jones side of the
question.
Mayor McAleer made every effort to
persuade the board to present its evil
dence, but the members remained ST.
lent and their attorney told the mayor
plainly that he had no power to COM
pei them to present evidence and that
they would present none.
The communication was an answer
by the board and, as can be seen, con-
tains numerous counter charges, none
OF which the mayor denied, When he
found that the board refused to become
party to the investigation he was
forced to declare the meeting ad-
journed.

SCHOOL MONEY.

Superintendent Geo. A. Gordon
bas just received comparative
statement from the state superin-
tendent of schools, showing the
amount of money received for 1904
under the old law, and the amount
the county would have been entitled
if the new law had been in operation
at that time. 1t is gratifying to
know that according to the head of
the educational system of the state,
Amador will be materially benefited
by new basis of apportionment. Last
year this county received $24, 149. 90
from the state. That was something
more than she paid. Under the
new basis of apportionment of $3.50
for each teacher, it is estimated that
Amador would have received 500,
951. .26-or more than $4,000 in ex-
cess of what she actually received.
While the old system secured about
81 per census child for the state
the present system-for it will un-
questionably be endorsed by the
governor-will give something like
SO per census child

THE MACHINE GAMBLING.

The question of licensing nickel
in-the-slot machines is one that is
being agitated in this county just
now. 1t is complex question, and
one which demands careful investi-
cation. Some moralists will dismiss
the subject off hand, by remarking
that there is only one side to it;
that gambling is vice, and ought
not to be recognized in any way,
and certainly ought not to be Ii
censed. There is a law on the
statute books of this state against
this form of playing with chance.
To attempt to license the machines
would make the officials responsible
for wilful violation of the law. This
