 CANAL EMERGENCY BILL

an enlargement Tn the requirements or the bill as 1t stands.
 Allison on Salaries.
 Speaking in general of the canal sal aries, Mr. Allison said:
 T do not think the canal can be con structed on the basis suggested by the senator from Georgia, at least as rs spects the higher places" He said that he had had personal knowledge of two refusals on the part of engineers to en- gage in the canal work, and he had un- derstood that MT. Stevens had refused to take the place for less than $So,O0O
 It was contended by MT. Teller that what was needed in the construction of the canal was a man of executive ability.
 Mir. Allison agreed that business man was needed, and he said he believed that was what the President had in mind when he employed MT. Shonts.
 MT. Allison referred to the salary of s15.500 paid Governor Magoon and said the large sum was due to the fact that he held s triple position of commissioner, governor of the canal zone and minister to Panama.
 MT. Magoon appears to be very per satile gentleman" remarked MT. Culber- son, who asked whether The Is the same gent who wrote two opinions on the colonial question. one on one side and the other on the other"
 Very likely" responded MT. Allison. ''I have known lawyers to gL'~ opinions on both sides of other questions. It Is true" he added that Mir. Magoon Is a very versatile man. and it is also true that he is a very accomplished man.
 A long controversy ensued to the best form of securing the check which all desired. Mir. Hale suggested as a substi- ute a provision requiring that the es- innate In the House bill shall "cover all annual salaries for persons employed in the canal work except laborers and skilled laborers,' and this was agreed to by the Senate.
 Salary Too Large.
 MT. Gallinger then spoke on the merits of the salary roll, saying that he believed MT Shonts' salary Is too high, and that Bishop as a press agent Is beyond all reason.
 And hope" he said. that in due time that gentleman will perform more work or that his salary will be reduced to SoOo0 the sum paid his predecessor"
 With these and perhaps few other ex- captions he believed the pay roll reason able. He especially defended the Sl0.000 payments to the auditor and the purchas- ing agent and quoted the testimony of secretary Taft showing that they had al ready saved the government s24oCO0 by sectiting a reduction of the figures of the lowest bidders
 Mir Culberson Supported his amend ment providing that no part of the money appropriated shall be paid for the main tenance of a literary bureau. He said # is not aimed al any individual and that he believed Mir Bishop to be an honest, candid and straightforward man and he

CAUSES ARREST OF NEIGHBOR
Ranchmen of ToIuca Valley Carry
Their Differences of Long
STANDING to Court

AS a result of a long standing
trouble between A. j. Gwynn and
Thomas Carr, ranchmen of the Toluca
arrest of his neighbor on charge of
forcible entry and unlawful detainer.
Several days ago Gwynn came to
Los Angeles and swore out the GRIM
inal warrant against Carr and his
sister Ellen Carr. The warrant was
given to Deputy Sheriff Joe Sepulveda
and earlv yesterday morning he drove
to the ranch and arrested the couple.
The sister asked leave to bring her
little daughter to Los Angeles with
her and the trio appeared before Jus
tiCe Young yesterday afternoon. The
accused were placed under $50 cash
bond each and were allowed to return
home.
According to the story told by Carr
yesterday he bought his property
through a local trust company but
when he went to take possession of it
he found part of it fenced off by
Gwynn. He took the case to court
and alleges Judge Wilbur gave him
the decision and fixed the place for the
line of fence.
Acting, as he claims, under the di-
rection of the court, Carr started to
remove the old fence to the place
ordered but was interrupted by Gwynn.
who opened fire upon him with rifle.
In spite of the fusillade the fence was
moved and Gwynn swore out the Grim
inal warrant. The dispute will be set
tied after the holidays.

AUBLE FIRES AT TARGETS
Chief of Police Visits Rifle Range and
Gets Into His oId-Time
Form

Let evil doerS beware, for even the
chief of police is limbering up his
arm and training his eye for use over
the barrel of a siX-shooter or rife.
Yesterday afternoon Chief Auble Wis
tied the rifle range that Is maintained
for the use of the patrolmen and the
recent repair met with his approval.
The chief fired twenty or thirty shots
at the targets. This is the first tins
he has pulled the trigger for five or
six months, but soon he was back
in his old time form and was shooting
with the best of them"
In speaking about the prisoners that
are confined in the city Jail Chief Auble
stated that the police force Is making
it "hotter" than ever before for the
yeggmen and thugs and that the re-
ports of holdups and burglaries are
much smaller this year than they
usually are in the winter.
Chief Auble positively asserts that
he knows the identity of the men who
robbed the Japanese bank on Fifth
street and says that they are clever
professionals. He says they were in
Los Angeles for some time previous
to the robbery laying their plans, ana
that they left about month before the
burglary was committed. They re-
turned to carry out their plans and
left the city with all possible haste,
he says. The chief also says he knows
where the robbers are now, but that
he cannot cause their arrest on ac-
count of a lack of evidence to convict
them.

SLAYER OF WILSON is DEAD
George w. Kennedy, Who Killed Local
Real Estate Dealer, Dies Of
DeIlrlum Tremens

AS the last act in the tragedy which
was begun I'm a Main street saloon last
Friday morning when A. T.. Wilson re-
ceived fatal wound at the hands of
George w. Kennedy, came the death of
Kennedy at the county hospital yester-
cay morning from deirium tremens.
Kennedy had been drinking heavily
Tor the past five or six months and
the abstinence from drink which was
forced upon him when he was placed
IN Jail threw him into a state of de-
lirium and he raved until he became
unconscious and was removed to the
county hospital Monday afternoon.
He did not respond to the treatment
received there and died without re-
gaining consciousness.
Kennedy came to Los Angeles from
Chicago and word has been sent to the
police there asking them to try to find
his mother, who is supposed to be liV-
ing in that city.
Kennedy, 1t is said. has been a fol-
lower of the race track and a gam
bier ever since he came here, and has
been arrested at different times on
charges of drunkenness. While he did
not bet much money for himself, he
placed money for others who did not
attend the races. He was charged with
dishonesty and for this reason the
Ascot officials barred him from the
track.
1t Is said that whatever trouble he
had with Wilson, before the shooting
affair, occurred because he wanted
Wilson to give him money to bet.
Coroner Trout took charge of the
body and had it sent to Bresee Bro
thers' morgue, where an inquest will
be held today.

as the new board must contain one

spirit moves" the comittee of the whole

A number of Democrats have sug-
gested that one of their faith other
than John r. Mathews would grace
the new board as well, and several
names have been suggested, among
which is that of Arthur G. Harper.

POLICE WORK ON CASES OF
SH0PLIFTING
Julia Martin Arrested on Complaint
of Jewelry Clerk, Who Says
He Saw Her steal
Gold Ring

BY the arrest of Julia Martin of 81
New High street in. Whitley's jewelry
store on Broadway early last even
ing, on the charge of stealing small
gold ring, Patrolman o. Y. Walker be-
lieves he has captured one of the most
clever shopifters who has ever worked
in Los Angeles.
Under Instructions from the police
department. Officer Walker tomorrow
will egin an investigation of several
large thefts committed by shoplifters
within the last few weeks. The char
acter of the work indicates that the
saIde person is guilty of the robberies,
and suspicion points strongly to the
Martin woman as the thief, say the
officers.
Attracted by the peculiar actions of
the Martin woman, an emnloye of the
store devoted his attention to her for
few minutes. The clerk says that at
n moment when the woman thought
that the attention of all in the store
was directed elsewhere he saw her
slip the ring in her glove.
At once Patrolman Walker was
called into the store and quietly ar
rested the woman. At the city jail
she was searched and the ring and
several other articles of jewelry were
found on her person. The woman
claimed to be the owner of the
articles.
In speaking of the affair after the
arrest Walker said: There is little
doubt in my mind but what this wo-
man is a clever shoplifter I will know
tomorrow whether or not she Is con-
nected with several thefts which have
taken place in stores here recently. II
we can get more evidence against her
we will at once prefer other charges.
Already 1 have two other cases
against the woman. I have tound
from what stores she took the other
jewelry found on her."
According to the expressions of the
members of the police department yes
terday an effort is being made to To-
cate all shoplfters. The police say
that unless they secure sufficient eVi-
dence themselves against the crimi-
nails they have considerable difficulty
in convicting them.
The police say many merchants
hinder the course of the law by placing
the case in the hands of the detectives.
allowing them to find the criminal and
then settling with the thieves and re-
fusing to prosecute them. Knowing
this, many clever criminals in this
business, when they find they are be-
ing detected, hasten to make settle
ment with the owners of the stolen
goods, say the officers.
