FIRE HOSE FAILS TO
STAND REQUIRED TEST
TEN THOUSAND FEET REJECTED
BY COMMISSION
Local Firm Explains Difficulty, Stating
That Shipment Intended for Los
Angeles Did Not Arrive--New Jer-
sey Article Also Condemned

Tests Of the 10000 feet of fire hose
that the city recently purchased have
resulted in the rejection of 5000 feet
of hose delivered by Cass & Smurr.
This hose was rejected owing to the
fact that more than per cent of the
5000 feet failed to stand the pressure
and stretched to greater length than the
three feet six inches allowed under the
specifications.
Mr.. Cass of the firm whose hose failed
to comply with specifications explains
by stating that 1t was mistake on the
part of the eastern manufacturers. The
hose delivered to Los Angeles should
have gone to a point in Arizona. The
local firm has telegraphed the eastern
shipping point to forward the hose in
tended for this city and declares that
when 1t arrives 1t will stand the sever
est tests.
Five thousand feet of hose delivered
by the New Jersey Car Spring and
Rubber company has also failed to
come up to the required standard, but
this hose is being held pending the
arrival of another lot of 5000 feet from
the same source. This company Sc
cured the contract for 10000 feet and
sent on half of the order. The repre-
sentatives of the New Jersey company
have been notified that their hose does
not stand the test, but they declare
that when the second shipment arrives
the per cent will be UP to the required
standard.
This is the second hose test under the
new ordinance. Previous to adopting
the ordinance Chief Lips declared that
some of the hose sold to the city was
not worth 20 cents foot, while much
higher prices were paid for it. The
hose now being purchased costs 80 cents
foot.

COLLECTION OF JEWELRY
VARIED AND UNIQUE AssoRT-
MENT TO BE AUcTIoNED
Unfortunate Debtors Contribute to
curio Box In Justice Pierce's Court
to Satisfy Executions Issued Upon
Judgments for Small Claims

The eonstable's Office in Justice
Pierce's court has probably the most
varied and unique collection of "sick
and crippled" jewelry of any curio
counter in Los Angeles.
The articles for this jewelry hospj-
tai have been secured during supple
mentary proceedings before Justice
Pierce on Saturday mornings of the
past month and large additions were
made yesterday.
Saturday morning is the time dreaded
by all petty debtors In Los Angeles
who have small judgments registered
against them in the local courts and
every Saturday number of them an
pear to answer to their summons.
negro against whom a judgment
for several dollars had been registered
was the center Of interest at yester-
days proceedings.
"Massa -Jedge, I done tell you how
dat am" said the dark man as he
faced the justice. II happened to need
sum grub an done got 1t on tick and
now dat man wants nah money"
"Are you a married man?" queried
the judge.

wife Is a white Irish LADY,
The court wondered and the bailiff
explained that the Irish lady was sins
ply housekeeper in a negro and white
boarding house.
Took His Watch and Ring
Then the personal property of the
black man was levied upon and a
watch, which had been on the hospital
list for several years and was merely
an adornment, and a brass ring were
added to the collection, which is to be
sold to satisfy debt.
Other debtors contributed like jewell
ry From one man a beautiful dia-
mond, fresh from the Los Angeles soda
bottling works, was taken. while an
other reluctantly contributed a worn
and much used gold toothpick.
The collection now consists of
nearly threescore articles of jewelry,
among which are about fifteen watches,
none of which have ever been accused
of keeping time. Other articles of adorn-
ment raise the value of the collection
to about $5.35 and the entire outfit
will be sold at auction and the cred
itors given their portions of the re-
ceipts.
After the costs are taken from the
receipts of the sale it is estimated that
most of the creditors will receive about
u cents as their share.

Charles MaItres Jumps From Window

Special to The Herald.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 23.-
Charles Maltres, an Englishman who
has been in this vicinity for some time,
committed suicide last night by jump
ing through the car window on Santa
Fe Overland No. 2, in the Cajon pass.
The mangled body of Maltres was
found this morning by train No. and
brought to this city by train No. l..
The body was frightfully mangled, the
skull being crushed. both legs cut off
and one arm entirely missing.
Maltres. with his brother Philip NAL
tres, had been living in this vicinity
for some time for the formers health,
his mind exhibiting symptoms Of in
sanity. They came from eastern Can
ada some weeks ago, hoping change
of scene and climate would rasul. in
improvement, but as it failed Philip
started back east with his brother last
night.
Philip had stepped to the opposite
end of the car and was away several
minutes. When he returned he found
his brother gone and the broken win
dow told the tale. He returned on
the first train returning, which was No.
Z, and located the body.
Cotton is again stirred over liquor
license fight. It has leaked out that
William Anderson, the owner of the
new $4,000 hotel, claims that when he
undertook the project he was promised
by the city board of trustees that he
would be granted liquor license for
the hotel, that he could not make the
enterprise pay without it. There is but
one saloon in the town now and an at
tempt a year ago to establish a second
one resulted in a fierce fight and the
raising of the license for the one saloon
to $4,000 per year. Now the fight prom
ises to be renewed with all the old
vigor.
