TRIES TO FREE WOMAN
ON TECHNICAL POINTS
MRS. DAVIS ATTORNEYS FAIL IN
THEIR EFFORTS
Suspect Does Not Faint, but Turns
Pale, and Later Weeps Pite-
ousIy-Paces Her Cell In Wo-
mans Ward

Question-When does a woman not
live in her own house?
Answer-When she lives with her
husband.
Question-When does the daughter of
a house not live in her own home?
Answer-When she lies in the same
house with her parents.
On such technicalities Attorney H.
H. Appel yesterday moved that the
three charges of burglary against the
popular Nellie Davis be dismissed. AS
soon as he made them they were over
ruled by Justice Rose. Attorney APP
pell took exception to each one, but
Justice Rose ordered her bound over
to the superior court and that she be
held on $500 bail on each charge.
In the closing arguments yesterday
Attorney Appel stated that in no case
had the prosecution proved that the
property taken had been taken from
the residences of the plaintiffs, but
that it was, if taken at all, from the
residences Of another party. On this
ground he moved that the charges be
dismissed.
Although Nellie Davis did not faint
when she was bound over to the su-
perior court yesterday by Justice Rose,
there was a decided change in her ap-
pearance. She turned ashen white and
found her chair as quickly as possible.
On leaving the court room She was
taken back to the jail and was seen
standing On the office talking to the
matron, crying like a child. Those
who witnessed her performance say
that she is not affecting this time, but
is gradually breaking down under the
strain of the trial and the long con-
finement in the city prison. At a late
hour last night she had not retired
but was pacing about in her cell in the
WOYnen'S ward

WATER BONDS ARE IN DEMAND
City Clerk Receives Many Inquiries
Regarding New Issue for Owens
Valley Pro Iect

That Los Angeles has reached a par
with the other first class cities Of the
country is indicated by the great de-
mand for the new Owens river water
bonds. City Clerk Lelande reports that
never in the history of the city has
there been such interest manifested in
a Los Angeles bond issue as the one
which the city is now floating. Large
bond buyers of New York and Chicago
have written to the city clerk for in
formation and twenty have expressed
their determination to bid for the Sc
curities.
One reason for the interest which
has been created is that these bonds
will bear four per cent interest, where
as the past issues of the city for the
last eight years have been but three and
quarters per cent. The indica-
tions are that the demand for the bonds
will be so great that they will be dis
posed Of at a price close enough to par
to bring the interest to practically three
and three-qUarters per cent.

RAISES GOLD AND CELERY
Contention Over Strip of Sand Must
Be Decided by United States
Land Office

Shall celery be raised or gold be dug
is the question which the United
States land office will have to decide
in regard to a piece of ground fifty
acres in extent lying near Bolsa bay.
The Bolsa bay rancho owners and the
proprietors of the Aanaheim Landing
Mining and Development company are
at outs with one another on that point.
The Anaheim company says the piece
of sand produced gold bearing dirt at
the rate of $100 per ton, but the rancho
people are equally positive that it will
raise fine celery.
The case first went to trial before
the land office yesterday and owing to
the lack of witnesses was continued
until next Friday.
In the meantime the mining company
will continue to take out sand rich in
gold and the ranchers will plant more
celery seed.

THOUSANDS OF EAGLES
TO WARM NEW NEST
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AERIEs

housewarming in their new hall at

evening with a street parade in which
nearly all the aeries in the southern

The growth of the order of Eagles

markable, the membership growing
from 300 at the beginning of the year
to over 700 in good standing at the
present date. Beside the growth of
the local aerie, the growth in towns
surrounding Los Angeles has been no
less remarkable. In Long Beach the
membership has increased from moth
ing a year ago TO over $50; in San
Pedro, 100; in Redondo. 60; and in
Ocean Park 80. The full membership
of those towns will be present at the
opening of the new hall, together with
$50 members from Santa Barbara, Ok
nard, Santa Paula and Ventura, 300
from San Bernardino, Anaheim and
Santa Ana, and $50 from Redlands and
Uplands.
The line of march has not been def
nitely decided upon as yet, but the
downtown portion of the principal
street will be the route chosen, ac-
of the local aerie.
Bands from Long Beach and San
Pedro will furnish the music for the
parade and will also give part of the
program which is to follow the pa
rade
After the procession a banquet will
be served at the new hall, which will
be followed by a smoker and vaude-
vile entertainment.

GIRL WINS FIGHT
FOR LITTLE SISTER
RELATIVES WRANGLE OVER
CUSTODY OF CHILD
Pretty Lola Anderson pefles Members
of Her Family and ConVinces
Court She Should Care
for Sister

at have my baby at last and 1 in
tend to keep her now so long as she is
happy with me-" said pretty Lola An
derson in Judge Conrey's department
of the superior court late yesterday
evening, as she clasped her 12-year-old
sister to her and kissed the little one
to whom she has been more than a
mother during the past six years.
The case was a pathetic one and at
its close Judge Conrey awarded the
custody of the girl to her sister and
sent the other relatives from the court
room.
The court was crowded yesterday
when the case was called. Relatives
of Miss Anderson were the first to take
the stand, and the fair young woman
blushed with modification when her
own sister and brothers assailed her
character and gave evidence of such q
kind as to give the impression
that she was an unfit person to care
for her little sister.
The action was brought by w. A
Van Voys, who is a cousin of Miss
Anderson. He alleged that the little
girl, Lillian, was not being properly
cared for, and asked for her custody.
In this he was backed by his wife, for
mer sister-in-law of the defendant.
"They just want Lillian for pure
meanness." said Miss Anderson yes
terday. when my sister-in law, now
my cousins wife, first started action
for the child she thought that Lillian
had property. The property, however,
was mine, and I sold it out. The woman
still tried to get the baby just for
meanness.
In Charge of Child

her for six years and not another MEM
Der of the family has raised a hand to
help in the support"
Relatives were then called to the
stand and swore that Miss Anderson
used improper language. When this
evidence was threshed out and had
dwindled down to simple family trouble
and the plaintiffs were unable to prove
that anything detrimental to the girls
character had ever been said by any
one outside of her own family, Judge
Conrey refused to allow any further
evidence of that character to be intro
duced and although several of the
girls relatives were ready to testify
against her they were not permitted to
do so.
Evidence was then introduced to
show that Van Noys, who wants the
child, had knocked about" Arizona
for the past forty years and was a
man of "hard language"
Following the argument, the judge
asked the little girl whom she wanted
to go with and the child replied that
her sister Lola had always been kind
to her.
believe" said Judge Conrey, "that
the sister is the proper person to care
for this little girl. She has been doing
so for many years and there Is no
reason why a change should be made

NO PREFERENCE FOR AGED
Civil Service Commission Says Effi-
cheney Is Only Criterion In
Examinations

The recommendation made by the
city council to the civil service COM
mission that old men be given the
preference when seeking employment
of the city, brought the response from
the commission yesterday that under
civil service this could not be done,
No class can be given the preference,
and efficiency is the only criterion.
The commission modified the state
ment, however, by saying that 1t di-
rected the examing physician to give
special attention to the men over fifty
years of age and that whenever ply
