HELD U? IN HIS OWN STORE
Bold Deed and Get


While showing a cheap set of harness
to a man in his. store last night John
Herr, 1911 Central avenue, was told oy
second man to hold up his hands, and
while the harness maker held up his
hands he was robbed of $50.
The police were Immediately notified.
Herr says a heavily built man en-
tered his store at 0 o'clock yesterday
evening and asked to be shown some
cheap harness.
Herr took the man to the rear of the
store where the harness was kept, and
as the light was turned on a second
man appeared who ordered the harness
maker to hold up his hands. Herr says
he was robbed of $50 and that both men
left by the rear door.
A good description is given of both
men. as they left by the rear of the
building they were said to have been
seen coming toward Main street.
Detectives Jones and Boyd were de-
tailed on the case.

SENSATION IN
L0SEE'S TRIAL
sTENoeRAPHER IN kNTEROoM
HEARS DEFENDANT TALK
District Attorney Explains TRANSACT
ton to Court - Prosecution VIII
Finish Case Today and Former
Trustee VIII Testify

Accusing District Attorney John d.
Fredericks of having adopted an un-
usual method of procedure when he i'm
terviewed j. B. Losee I'm his private
office before that individual had been
taken before n magistrate for arragn-
ment, Attorney lie Compile Davis
brought the trial of j. b. Losee, former
trustee of Long Beach, to an abrupt
adjournment yesterday afternoon.
The examination of witnesses had
dragged out during the day and the
manager of the Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific
Construction company had been on the
stand for a considerable length of time
telling of the transaction whereby he
alleged he turned over $1,000 to Uosee
out of the funds for the building Of
the new pleasure pavilion at Long
Beach.
Late in the afternoon the district at
torney's stenographer was called to
the stand. She was to be the last wit
ness for the prosecution and the de-
fense was then to take up its case.
Stenographer on Stand
The young woman took the witness
stand and Capt. Fredericks asked her
to read from her shorthand notes the
conversation between him and Losee in
his private office the night that Losee
was arrested.
Attorney lie Compte Davis objected
and stated that proper foundation had
not been laid for confession. Capt,
Fredericks stated that the conversa-
ton had not been a confession.
About that time Losee told his at
torneys that he and Fredericks had
been the only people in the room at
the time of the conversation.
Then the attorneys alleged that the
stenographer had been concealed in the
room while the conversation had been
going on.
Judge Smith insisted on knowing the
full details of the case and stated that
If the man had been taken to Capt.
Frederick's office after his arrest and
before going before a magistrate and
had there made a confession the case
was certainly remarkable.
capt. Fredericks. explain all the de-
tails of that transaction to me-" said
the court.
Captain Fredercks Explains
"I understand the duties of the dis
trict attorney and I understand them
well,'' said Fredericks, as he shook
his finger at the court and the at
torneys. at is the duty of the dis
tr1ct attorney TO detect crime Dy any
honorable and honest way he sees fit.
"a warrant for the arrest of ]. B.
Losee was sworn out by private cti-
zen and my detectives arrested the
man at Long Geach and brought him
to my office There 1 had a conversa-
ton with the man but there was no
confession made. That is all there was
to the transaction"
Deputy McComas cited various au-
thorities of similar cases and the court
agreed to let the conversation go in
after he had read it over.
An adjournment was then taken un-
til this morning at 10 O'Clock.
1t is stated that the district attor-
ney's stenographer was not in the
room with Losee at the time of the
conversation, but was in a small room
adjoining that of Capt. Fredericks.
The prosecution will finish its case,
charging Losee with having accepted a
bribe, and then Losee will probably
take the stand in his own behalf

TAKE A FRESH START

II IS a thoroughly convincing state
ment Of the case that President Butler
of the consolidation commission makes
in his letter to Governor Pardee. quite
properly Mr.. Butler says, in conclusion:
Il now consider this matter between
you and me a closed incident" From
the beginning to the end OF the contro-
versy the governors action has been
characterized by subterfuge and
triokery. He has acted in accordance
with his natural bent for duplicity and
double dealing.
But the governor has accomplished
the main purpose at which he was
aiming. He has won the promise of
support from Abe Ruef and the San
francisco Republican ring in his fren-
zied longing for denomination. Prob
ably his only dread now. in respect to
the nomination, is that his San Fran
cisco hackers may prove as recreant to
their promise as he was i'm his prom
ise to the representatives of Los An
geles.
AS the controversy now is CLOSED
incident" Los Angeles should promptly
give attention to the situation at home.
This city always has been able to take
care of itself and the rebuff received
from the governor and his San Fran
cisco sponsors will serve only as a
stimulus to greater independence in
future. At the same time the rebuff
will not be forgotten when the oppor-
tunity occurs to square accounts with
the responsible persons.
The broad project for city and county
consolidation is sidetracked for the
present, but there is nothing to pre-
vent the territorial expansion of Los
Angeles whenever that may be deemed
desirable by the communities interested.
Los Angeles heretofore has absorbed
contiguous territory by the initiative
of all interests, and can follow the pre-
cedents now. There never has been,
and never will be, a desire on the part
of Los Angeles people to draw unwill-
ing outsiders within the city's boun-
daries. That fact was well known to
steering committee and to every intel
ligent member of the Legislature. The
idea that Los Angeles attempted to
enmesh neighboring communities, in
opposition to their wishes, was simply
preposterous.
The consolidation plan must for the
present be adapted to circumstances.
What was intended to be done as a
whole must be done piecemeal. The
first step in this procedure is for Los
Angeles to determine what part of the
outlying territory might be annexed
with benefit to the city and to the said
territory as well. Following that de-
cision should come the initiative test
by popular vote, to decide the question
of annexation. And TO make sure of no
miscarriage it would be we'll for the
outlying district first to declare it's
wish on that issue.
The consolidation project is back to
the starting point. There has been no
essential loss by the backset. Now
make a fresh start, adopting the maxim,
BE sure you're right, then go ahead"

According to the city attorney. IL is
the duty Of the street car companies to
sprinkle their tracks and for two feet
outside the tracks. Now it's up to the
board of public works to see that
the street car companies lay the dust
which the cars create. Dust in Los
Angeles is a continuous nuisance and
the law should be enforced both as to
the car companies and the municipality
itself

City-Whistling BiIIys Driver
viii Make a Test

Bert +. Dingley, chauffeur of whist
ling Billy who was found guilty Mon
day by Jolice Judge Rose of exceeding
the automobile speed ordinance for the
third time, said yesterday, after being
given a sentence of $100 fine and one
day in jail, that he would carry the case
to the higher courts, as was stated in
The Herald Tuesday
George l.. McKeeby, who is Dingley's
attorney, said yesterday that they
would contest the decision of the lower
court on two different contentious.
First, that the law is class legislation
because it provides for the punishment
of owners and chauffeurs and does not
make people who rent automobiles
equally liable.
Second, that the law by which the
decision was redered is a state law and
that the legislature has no right to pro-
vide legislation for the streets of the
city.
In Charge of Officer
Dingley smiled when his sentence was
pronounced by Judge Rose. He was not
locked up, but was placed in charge of
an ofncer until habeas corpus proceed
ings could be obtained.
1t is the intention of Dingey and his
attorney to make this test case. Mr..
Mckeeby said yesterday that he be-
lieved that the higher courts would de-
eide that the law is not valid This
opinion is shared by number of other
attorneys Should the law be proved to
be unconstitutional the speed of auto
mobiles will in the future be controlled
by a city ordnance.
Since BILLY" Nevin was given a fine
OF 500 after a long-drawn-o trial for
the third offense, the law has been diff

tend that, under the present law. inn

tive where a person Is found guilty for
