1905, policy holders had paid 1884,
5S7,6O3.32 into its treasury, and the
company had paid out for Policy
Claims death lossos); for surrender
ed policies, and in anpual dividends,
S218 8,888, ,4S0.85, which Is $45.919,122-
81 less than the total amount paid
In. On January /, 1905, the company
had assets Of $93,237,790.27, Of which
$47,21S,667.60 was not paid in by pol
icy holders but is the net result Of
the company's wise investments after
paying all expenses and taxes. Every
cent of the assets is held for the pro-
lection of policy holders, and any pol
icy holder who desires to withdraw

TO APPOINT NEW JUDGES
Louis r. Works Likely to Be Named
for Superior Bench

A prominent member of the local bar,
who returned several days ago from
Sacramento, said yesterday that Gov
ernor Pardee would in all probability
announce his appointments to the ap-
pellate bench within few days.
1t is the popular opinion in Los An
geles legal circles that Judge M. I.
Allen, Republican, and Judge D. X.
TraslS. Democrat, will be among the
favored candidates.
In the contest for appointment to the
superior court in the event of vacancies
and the creation of additional depart
ments of the superior court, number
of likely candidates are in the field.
1t is said on good authority that At
torney Louis r. Works will receive one
of the new judgeships, while as to the
other candidates nothing definite is
known.
Attorney Works win practically re-
oeive the unanimous support of the
local bar association

VERDICT OF A WEARY
JUROR DOES NOT HOLD
Judge York Declares That the Amount
Awarded in Damage Suit Was
UnWarranted

1t was held yesterday by Judge York
in the superior court that verdict
rendered by jury, of which an over
anxious fat man was a constituent
part, is null and void.
The decision of the court was based
upon the motion for a new trial in the
case of Fay Mansfield against the
Los Angeles Pacific Railway company
in which judgment was given to the
plaintiff for damages in the sum OF
$1,000.
A man named Moore who is said tc
be rather corpulent, participated in the
verdict, but afterward declared the
sum awarded to be excessive.
1t was concluded by those interested
in the case that Moore was anxious tC
so home after having been locked VI
in the jury room all day, and in order
to gain his liberty from the wrangle
of jury room agreed to anything un-
der the sun.
Judge York held that the sum award
ed was not warranted by the evidence
i'm the case, and he ordered new trial
unless the attorneys for both sides
within the next ten days sign stipula-
tions reducing the amount of the judg-
ment to 1866.

CITY ASSESSOR IS
AFTER GRAFTERS
MORE CIVIL SERVICE INVES.
LEGATIONS
Time Book Is Chinese Puzzle TO New
Assessor-says Fictitious Names
Were Carried on the
Pay Roll

The trial Of employees in the office OF
the city assessor which is scheduled
to take place before the civil service
commission next Saturday promises to
produce some startling testimony
City Assessor Lewis is making an in
vestigation of conditions in his office
and expects to make out a strong case
before the commission. Mr.. Lewis de-
clined to say precisely the nature OF
the testimony he will Introduce at the
trial. but intimated that he will pro-
duce evidence of a comprehensive sys-
tenn of grating.
Lewis admitted that the statement
which appeared i'm The Herald yester-
day in reference to a deputy who went
to work on March 49, 1908, but who drew
an entire months pay, was correct.
The time book in which the record of
this mans employment is kept reveals
many similar cases.
The name of j. F. Grusel appears in
this book as being entitled to $40 for
April, he having worked fifteen days
been able to find any one who was
acquainted with Grusel or had seen him
do any work in the assessors office
Another book contains a record that
shows that Grusel was discharged sew
eral months before he drew the $40.
Lewis said one of the men now en-
ployed in the Office attributes his re-
tention to the fact that he accidentally
discovered that Grusel existed only as
a pure fiction. This informant, accord
ing to Lewis, says the chief deputy
feared a grand jury investigation of
his books if informed about the Grusel
case, and so the man was kept at work,
although he was not popular with the
administration
Another popularity of the time book,
according to the assessor, is that 1t
shows payments of full wages for a
month to men who worked only part OF
the time. One man drew $50 for four
teen days time, $50 being the rate of
payment for a month. The books show
that twenty-one men were employed
during the month of July. The city as
sessment was completed and the books
were turned over to the city clerk on
the first day of July.
The books also show a great deal OF
overtime, in some cases amounting tc
double pay in a month. Lewis says al
these allegations and many others viii
be brought out at the trial before the

SAYS HUSBAND DRANK
HER FLAV0RlNG EXTRACTS
wife Gets Divorce on Strength Of Tes-
timony Showing Spouse to BE
a Drunkard

Alleging that when unable to buy
liquor her husband drank her flavor
ing extracts, Mrs. Louise r. Ellsworth
was granted a divorce from Robert
Ellsworth yesterday in Judge Trask' 9
court
Soon after the wedding, according
to his wife. Ellsworth entered upon a
protraoted spree. at the conclusion ot
which she commenced proceedings for
dissolution Of the partnership of love.
"All during our married life my hus-
band was either intoxicated or just
SOLDERING up for another spree" mourn
fully declared Mrs. Ellsworth.
According to the plaintiff, it appears
that at times IL was rather difficult for
Ellsworth to secure liquor of any de-
scription, and on such occasions. after
he had consumed his wifes flavoring
extracts which she used for cooking
purposes. he went out among the neigh
bors and asked for stimulant, saying
his wife had been taken suddenly i'll.
This continued for some time it ap-
pears, and finally the neighborhood in
which he lived, in self-protection and
looking to the preservation of their
respective wine cellars, declared an
open boycott on Ellsworth's thirst.
1t appears from the testimony of Mrs.
Ellsworth that her husbands favoritc
drinks were a nip or two of gin and
whisky mixed. but when this was not
obtainable he was not particular in the
least for he satisfied his thirst with
wood alcohol and the essence of lemon.
Since she left him in 1903 Mrs. Ellis
worth has not seen her husband. Her
departure appeared peculiar to the
court, in so far that Mrs. Ellsworth
last looked upon her spouses coun-
tenance while he was sleeping off the
effects of liquor.

NO SUBSTITUTES FOR
GAMBLERS ACCEPTED
Some of Chinatown's Aristocracy Pos
itively Identified as Fantan
Players and Sentenced

Probably the first case of conviction
of actual gamblers from the China
town district in the history of Los An
geles was made before Justice Austin
yesterday afternoon when twelve Chi
nese were fined 500 each on charge of
playing fantan.
For the past few years the members
of the Chinatown squad have been at
loss to prosecute, the actual perpe-
traitors in Chinatown gambling. Time
after time raids have been declared
and officers, bursting through doors,
have arrested the gamblers at the
tables and took them to the police sta
ton. A few minutes later the Chinese
would all be out on bail and the fol-
lowing morning an entire new set of
men would answer to the names of the
gamblers and pay the fines.
In this way the actual gamblers
escaped any sentence in the city Jail,
while their representatives, for a sum
of money, would serve the term of the
rich merchants.
For the past few weeks officers
StrOde ana Butter OF the CHINATOWN
squad have been keeping a strict watch
upon a small apartment at PIG Fergu-
son alley.
Tuesday night the. two officers took
advantage of the darkness and started
toward the resort. The big arc light
near the place was out and the officers
crouched close to the wall and sue
ceeded in getting within several feet of
the place when the lookout discovered
them and attempted to close the door.
He succeeded in part, but Officer Strobe
kicked down the door, threw the fright
ened pilot to one side and dashed into
the main room of the hall.
A number of prominent residents OF
Chinatown were at the fantan table
and they were all taken to the police
station and positively identified before
being allowed to depart.
Yesterday each man was again iden-
titled by Interpreter Joe Saunders be-
fore going to the court room, and in
this way the real gamblers were sem
fenced.

MISSING GIRL is FOUND
lsabeI Campbell Removed From ;
Spring Street Lodging House

After a search of more than five
weeks, Officer Webb of the Los An
geles Humane society yesterday found
pretty Isabel Campbell, the 15-year- odd
daughter of E. e. Campbell, in a
lodging house at 445 South Spring
street and placed her in the custody
of the matron of the detention home.
The child left her home, at 722 Mer-
chant street, five weeks ago. She left
no clew as to her whereabouts and her
parents spent several days in search
ing for her. The girl could not be
found and the attention of Officer Webb
was called to the disappearance.
He traced her from one lodging
house to another but the child always
managed to elude him until Tuesday.
