Bob Kern is one of the best known
residents of Los Angeles. Prior to 1901
he was for thirteen years in business in
this city, the last place under his mani
agement being the wellington on West
Third street. Since 1901 Mr. Kern has
been in San Francisco, and at the time
of the recent disaster he conducted
popular resort opposite the Palace
hotel. He was one of the sufferers by
the fire. Now he is identified with the
business interests of Los Angeles and
is cordially welcomed back by hosts of
personal friends.

sonal charge of the cafe, has been a
resident of Los Angeles for thirty years.
He was formerly school trustee and a
notary public, and is widely and favor
ably known in the community.

BUSY LITTLE BEES
CREATE EXCITEMENT
HoNEYMAkERs ARE AcUsED OF
NAUGHTY TRICKS
So Many Children stung That Ru-
mors of Epidemic Of Mumps Get
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Quarrel Is
Also Intinnated

The busy humming of bees at the
Barnhill residence, 1910 East Fourth
street, has created hornets nest" ir
the neighborhood, according to the COM
plant made by a pretty young woman
to Capt. Broadhead yesterday.
She said the bees, which were sup
posed to domicile in the Barnhill back
yard, were given to making ex-
cursions to adjoining premises and
many of the neighborhood children
were going about with swollen jowls
that resulted in a visit from the health
department on a rumor of an epidemic
of mumps.
The children are not suffering from
mumps, it is said, but owe their swollen
features to the attacks of the Barnhill
bees.
1T is something awful" remarked
Mrs. Lincoln to the officer in Capt.
Broadhead's Office.
1--WE have a lot of flowers in our yard
and the bees swarm over so much that
my little sister has been stung so many
times she does not dare to venture out.
THE bees are a nuisance. All the
neighbors are complaining. We don't
wish the Barnhills to be arrested or
fined, but we want them to move their
bees. Why, they have a dozen hives
and millions of bees"
From another source 1t was learned
a neighborhood quarrel is in full swing,
One family has intimated that another
family poisoned their pet dog; another
neighbor complains that her hens have
been mistreated.
An officer was detailed to investigate
and report to Capt. Broadhead.

He said conductors of north-bound

the south-bound cars were required tc

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
BOSTON, Aug. 16--Details Of the
sales by the New York. New Haven q
Hartford company Of street railway
companies valued at many millions
leaked out today when 1t was learned
that the railroad company had taken
steps to divest itself of practically all of
its street car property in southern New
England.
The transfer, which follows closely
the announced intention of the Massa-
chusetts authorities to retain control
of Massachusetts, street railway cor
porations, has been maze to the New
England Security Investment company.
The deal Is said to involve the street
car lines owned by the New Haven road
in both Massachusetts and Connecticut
with connecting lines to Rhode Island
and New York. A report from New
Haven, however, indicates a probability
that certain lines may not figure.
For years the railroad has been ac-
quiring street railways in Massachu-
sets and recently these holdings
reached such proportions that Governor
Guild made the matter a subject of a
special message to the Legislature.
Attorney General Malone set about
preparing case which would eventu-
ally receive ruling from the Massa-
chusetts supreme court.

TO REcoMPENSE RANcHERS
City vii Pay for Damages Caused
by outfaII Sewer
OverfIoW

Henry Bhom and George w. Dryden
both ranchers living near Inglewood
will each receive 5000 for damages done
their crops by the outfall sewers break
ing and overf1owing in May.
This is the recommendation of the
board of public works, and while the
claim is recognized as just one it is
feared the payment Of these claims
may be but the beginning of many
more similar demands to be made on
the city treasury.
The outfall sewer near Inglewood has
always been a source Of annoyance to
the residents and ranchers Of the Ingle-
wood district. Many damage suits have
been threatened against the city be-
cause of its failure to care for the over
flow at the breaking point, and the
board of public works has made efforts
to have this place fixed.

was held at Bresee Bros undertaking
establishment at 8 o'clock.
True to his word, Coroner Trout
summoned a representative jury, COM
posed of leading business men.
AS far as possible the coroner en-
deavored to fix the blame for the ac-
cident, but owing to the refusal of
Conductor E. B. Witty to testify and
the absence of Motorman E. McKen-
zie, the session was continued.
Conductor Witty refused to be a wit
ness, stating he would not testify with
out the presence of his attorney, Fred
H. Thompson, now engaged in the
Stackpole trial.
Deputy District Attorney David
Allen objected to Witty's refusal on
the ground that he was not on trial
for any criminal offense and therefore
his testimony would not incriminate
him.
Train Dispatcher Testifles
The jury, however. agreed to wait
for the conductors testimony until
Motorman Mckenzie has recovered
from his injuries.
What evidence was presented tend
ed to show that car No. 10, city bound
possessed the right of way to the dou-
BILE track at Figueroa street junction
and that the car crew of car No.
should have waited at the junction for
the inbound coach.
