PROBATI0NER GETS LIMIT;
RECEIVES A TEN-YEAR TERM
ORIGINAL CHARGE is REVIVED
AGAINST j. B. STEWART
Develops That Prisoner Stole Bicycles
While Out on ParoIe-Says He
Will Appeal, but as He Pleaded
Guilty He Cannot

After having been placed on proba-
ton for one year pending his good be-
haVior, j. b Stewart was sentenced to
ten years imprisonment at San Quentin
penitentiary on the original charge of
grand larceny by Judge Smith of the
superior court yesterday morning.
Since his parole on December IL, 1905.
detectives here disco eG that Stewart
had stolen four or five bicycles and had
attempted to pass a fictitious draft.
Subsequently Stewart was again placed
under arrest. Owing to the breaking of
his parole action could be taken on the
original charge of grand larceny.
The circumstances surrounding the
theft of the bicycles and the attempted
passing of the fictitious draft were in
vestigated by the detectives, with the
result that Stewart was found to have
played a conspicuous part in both.
When placed on the stand Stewart
attempted to swing the guilt of the
theft of the bicycles and the passing of
the fictitious check to another In do
ing so, the prisoner admitted disposing
of the bicycles for several other mem
bers of the gang. Subsequently testi-
mony of the prisoner established that
Stewart was a prominent member of
the gang.
With these complications in view and
the direct violation of his parole,
Stewart was given the limit sentence,
which is ten .-ears. In addressing the
prisoner Judge Smith said he wished to
teach the probationers a lesson.
Stewart is little more than 22 years
of age. His character is well defined
by a loud voice and tough appearance.
He is married, and Detective Dixon,
who testified against the man, said the
wife had stated that Stewart refused to
support her,
AS he was taken from the court room
Stewart told the sheriff he would ap-
peal the case. owing to the fact that
he has pleaded guilty there is no re-
dress for Stewart. He will be taken to
San Quentin in the next few days.

STANDARD OIL
GIVEN A SLAP
PLEA OF OWNERS OF LITTLE
HoMES PREVAILS
legislative Committee of Council
Refuses to Recommend ENLARGE
ment of Oil Tank District to In.
clude Tanks Being Built

The legislative committee of the city
council yesterday rudely slapped the
Standard Oil company on the wrist by
refusing to recommend that the oil
tank district be enlarged to take in
territory on which the STANDARD now is
building tanks.
The district which the Standard
wanted included in the oil tank limits
is between San Fernando and Baker
streets, on Aurora. The Standard,
pending a hearing of it's petition for the
extension, built six brick foundations
for large tanks in the disputed terri
tory.
A large number. of property owners
appeared before the legislative COM
mittee yesterday and pleaded that their
little homes in the district be not jeo-
pardized by dangerous oil tanks. They
told the committee the cheap houses
they live in would be rendered almost
valueleSS by six mammoth oil tanks
next door and that insurance rates
would be advanced.
1t was to save these little homes that
the Legislative committee refused to al
low the oil limits to be extended. This
report will come before the city coln-
Gil Monday afternoon and it is expected
that at that time the STANDARD will
make another effort to have the district
included.
Several thousand dollars in brick and
labor already have been expended by
the Standard in building the founda-
tions for the tanks and the company
has the tanks on the ground to place on
these foundations. The money ex-
pended in foundations practically will
be total loss unless the STANDARD can
induce the council to refuse to accept
the report of the legislative committee
In any event the members of the coun-
Gil expect the Standard will not per-
NIT the money to be lost without maxi
ing a struggle for it.

There has been considerable talk over

sci for Mr.. Sawyer doubts very much IL

II Is claimed is behind some $50. 900 In his

Leonard S. Horton Is counsel for Mrs.
Sawyer. and asserts that his clients
transactions with Mr.. Felker were OF a
personal nature, and only very small
amount OF the sums OF money passing
between them had TO do with stock OF
the Electromobile company.
IL was the custom OF Mr.. Felker, Mr.
Horton says, for the past ten years. TO
pay his personal bills, even his house
rents, with city checks.
Owing TO the length OF time this con-
