Republicans Will Support Bell

II believe the intelligent Republ-
cans and all Democrats are going to
elect Bell" said Judge Trask upon his
return from Sacramento yesterday. "A
great many Republicans from different
parts of the state were in Sacramento
for the purpose, as they stated, of sat-
isfying themselves whether the Demo-
cratic convention was free from rail-
road influence, and at the close of the
convention they were unanimous in
the statement that they intended to
support Bell as a protest against cor
porate control in California politics.
"The convention was the best ever
held by the Democrats of California,
and it was absolutely free from corpo-
ration influence. The delegates were
there for independent action, and they
carried out their purpose. l have not
seen a better class of men together in
a convention in California. They were
sincere, honest and capable.
The platform is by far the best ever
adopted by a Democratic convention"
Judge Trask highly complimented the
work of Nathan Cole, Jr., and Joseph
II. Call in insuring the nomination of
candidates free from corporation in
fluence and in preparing sound plat
form.

STATE STREET ASSESSMENTS
CATCH MANY MAPPING
Doubtless Ignorance Concerning the
Proposed Auction Is Responsible
for Many Lapses--Former
Holders Can Redeem

One of the largest sales of property
for non-payment of street assessments
that has ever occurred in Los Angeles
was held in the office of the clerk FOL
the opening and widening of streets
yesterday morning.
Col. William q. Schreiber of the
street department conducted the sale
and 334 pieces of property were dis
posed of.
This was property that had been al
lowed to go delinquent on the opening
and widening of State street, which
is to be made into a continuous street
connecting East Los Angeles and Boyle
Heights.
Property on State street is considered
Valuab bic and as the assessments were
very low, none above $2,S9 and some
not higher than 80 cents, the large
number of delinquencies is only ac-
counted for by the explanation that
the notice they are supposed to get.
Col. Schneider notified every person
in the assessment district whose name
could be secured from the records OF
the assessor.
In cases where the addresses were
mailed to that address, but where the
addresses could not be found on the
records cards were sent to the general
delivery.
Many parcels of land on State street
have changed hands since the assess
or's records were made and the former
owners probably received the notifca-
tion while the present owners knew
nothing Of the project.
The percentage of delinquencies is
the highest that has ever occurred in

BLAMES HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW
Son-in-LaW Takes Goods Away and
Is Held on Charge of
BurqIary

The eternal mother-in-law question,
with a few variations, was the tune
that was played in Justice Chambers
court yesterday afternoon.
The occasion was the preliminary
examination of James Wade, a negro
charged with burglary, who was ar
rested on September for entering the
home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lizzie
Leanard, on Santa F'e avenue, and Sc
cretly filching from her private apart
ment a gold watch, a stick pin and
few nuggets. Wade was held on $15OO
bail.
When Wade took the witness box
he had different story to tell regard
ing the theft He claimed that he had
gone to his laws place to see
about collecting twenty-five dollars
and also to make arrangements for TAX
ing away household goods and chickens
belonging to him.
This was at o'clock In the after
noon, so witness testified and not
finding Mrs. Leanard at home, he says
he decided that If he was to get any
thing he would have to take it. There
upon he entered her bedroom. and got
the articles for which he is accused Of
burglarizing.
The case appeared to be largely a
matter of domestic discord.

INTO THEIR NET
Victims Husband Is Lawyer and He

Poundmaster Apologies

Dragged to the street in a dog
catcher's net was the rough treatment
given Mrs. Harry L. Dunnigan of 511
East Avenue 2S yesterday when she
jumped into the net that was set for
her dog in frantic effort to save her
pet canine from the terrors of the city
pound.
Mrs. Dunnigan said:
"The dog was great pet of the fam
lily and the playmate of my baby. we
had owned him six years, so you may
understand that he had grown very
dear to us.
when 1 saw those cruel men chas-
ing him with their horried net until the
poor little dog was nearly exhausted, l
determined to stop it. When l asked
the men to go away they only laughed.
"The dog saw me and ran to me for
rescue, when one of the men jerked II
out of my arms and threw 1t into his
net. l jumped after 1t and was dragged
to the street. Then they took the dog
and drove away,
I'VE did not have a license for the
dog at the time 1t was captured, but
the license had just expired"
The dog was yesterday returned TO
Mrs. Dunnigan, who called at the
pound for it with her husband
Apologies We're offered for the oc-
currence by the poundmaster but were
not accepted. Mr.. Dunnigan, who is a
lawyer, has decided to prosecute the
case and warrants were Immediately
obtained for the arrest of #. r. Nc
Clelland and Lindsey Britt the offend
ing dog catchers.

SELL S34 PARCELS OF LAND
THOUGH MOST OWNERS UNAWA ARE

any similar Improvement. There were
about 1900 parcels of land in the as
sessment district and of these the 3S4
were allowed to go delinquent. The
assessment district is bounded by Penn
sylvania, Britiana, Echandia and
Workman streets.
The method of auctioning this prop
erty is entirely different from that used
in any other kind of auction.
The successful bidder is not the one
who offers to pay the most for lot
put up for sale, but the one who offers
the amount of the assessment for the
smallest fraction of that particular
piece of land. The city does not hold
auctions for profit, but to cover the
expense of the work proposed.
The successful bidder may secure one
sixteenth of an inch across the front
of a lot and receives a certificate for
only that portion of the lot which he
has purchased.
May Redeem Land
The original purchaser has the right
at any time within a year to redeem
this land, but must pay 10 per cent
interest for the first three months, 20
per cent for the first six months and so
per cent for less than year and more
than six months.
III the property is not redeemed with
in the first year the owner of the little
strip of land along the front of the
lot is privileged to ask what he chooses
for his piece and the owner must re-
deem 1t at his price or submit to cloud
on his title and a possible case of
trespass If he chooses to cross the strip
in getting to and from his premises
After the third year. II the property
is not redeemed. the purchaser of the
little strip receives a full title to the
entire lot

Predicts Bells Election

Joseph H. Call also returned yester-
day from Sacramento, we'll pleased with
the work of the convention and conf
dent of Democratic victory in Novem-
ber.
S"Theodore A. Bell is an excellent man
and he will win," declared Mr.. Call.
HE was nominated by a convention
organized by the people, while Gillett
was nominated, in reality, by Harri-
man at banquet in Washington last
winter.
'Mr. Bell was elected to congress in
a district normally Republican, and he
is one of the most able men in the
state and is absolutely reliable. He will
visit Southern California during the
campaign and the people will see and
hear him for themselves.
1.-The platform is a strong one, and it
presents directly the issue whether the
Southern Pacific or the people shall
run this country. We have declared
for public ownership of public utility
corporations and opposition to giving
corporations vested rights"
Great Campaign Expected
Other delegates who have returned
from Sacramento are unanimous in
their belief that they have nominated a
winning ticket. They say that Bell
will make one of the most energetic
campaigns ever seen in California.
Several of the nominees. especially
Thomas A. Toland of Ventura for lieu
tenant governor and w. Ona Morton
of Los Ange, for attorney general.
are splendid speakers and they will
add greatly to the activity of the cam
paign.
The campaign emblem will be small
silver bell, and it is expected that bell
rine'ng will be one of the features of
the campaign.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-14
Success Is Predicted

SUCCESS is rTcuiCISo
my candid opinion is that the ticket
will be elected said Nathan Cole, Jr,
yesterday. Mr.. Cole had just returned
from participating in the work of the
convention at Sacramento, and he Is
enthusiastic over the nominations and
the platform adopted.
THE ticket nominated is first-class
throughout" continued Mr.. Cole. Con
gressman Bell is a tower of strength
and Mr.. Toland, the nominee for lieu
tenant governor, is exceedingly popular
and he has proved his ability.
THE platform is the best ever devised
by any Democratic convention and 1t is
one which would not have been adopted
by any convention dominated by the
Southern Pacific. The platform is
text book of constitutional law, and its
principles are sound, safe and sensible.
Superior Judge D. K. Trask was chair
man of the committee on pla tform and
resolutions. Judge Trask's reputation
is so good and his character so unim-
peachable that no one can question any
of his acts. On the committee also
was Joseph H. Call, who has a national
reputation as an opponent of corpora
tion control"
