LEAVES PHONE RATES
ON THE OLD BASIS
NO ONE CAME FORWARD TO ASK
REDUCTION
Council Ratifies the Committees Ac-
tion In Fixing Electric Light at
Eleven Cents and Gas at Eighy-five
Cents

AS was expected the council yester-
day left the telephone rates at the
present prices These are So month
for business telephones, charged by
the Home Telephone company, and So
a month for the same kind of phones
charged by the Sunset company. Both
companies charge So month for res
idence telephones.
Councilman Smith, who moved that
the prices be not changed stated that
no person had come before the coun-
Gil to ask that the prices be reduced
and from that he drew the conclusion
that the rates now in effect were sat
isfactory. In extenuation of making
the rates different for the two COM
panies he declared the Sunset had
much the largest number of sub
scribers and greater long distance con-
nections and for that reason was the
most valuable to business men.
The action of the committee of the
whole in fixing the electric rates at
II cents a kilowatt hour for light and
10 cents for power and fixing IS cents
a thousand cubic feet as the official
rate for gas, was ratified by the coun-
ell and that body will meet at 2
o'clock this afternoon to pass the nee
essary ordinance.

NAMED
FOR DR.. BOWERS
LOS ANGELAN H0NORED BY
SCIENTIFIC BODIES
Many New and Interesting Geological
Specimens Unearthed as a Re-
suit of Recent Explora-
tlons In California

Unusual honors are being paid DR..
Stephen Bowers of this city by scien-
tific bodies of the country in recogni-
tion of the many discoveries he has
made of new geological specimens in
recent explorations in California. Half
q dozen new forms OF fossils have
been named for him, and from thirty
to sixty species are in the hands of
the United States geological survey
and in the National musum for iden-
LITIGATION.
One of the most interesting fossils
among those named by eminent pale
ontologists is the ammonites bowersi,
found in the Santa Ana mountains. 1t
is allied to the nautilus and weighs
about 100 pounds. 1t is in the Acad-
envy of Sciences in San Francisco. This
great petrified sea shell is the largest
specimen of its kind to be found in this
country, barring one reported to have
been picked up in Texas 1t is a
young thing-not more than half a
million years old, according to esti-
mates made by scientists,

found two of these species at places
widely separated. One is from the
foothills back of the Soldiers Home

twenty-five miles above Santa Monica
canyon, DR.. Bowers discovered a fan
shaped shell about six inches in diam
eter, which the United States geologi-
cal survey named pecten bowersi.
Another Notable Discovery
A fossil coral reef about ten miles
long, in San Diego county, is an
other notable discovery made by DR..
Bowers. 1t yielded half dozen
forms, four of which were new to
science. One of these was named
maeandra bowersi. This reef of coral
is twenty miles west of Imperial and
at an elevation above the sea level of
140O feet. The coral is remarkably
well preserved, though thousands OF
years have passed since the tiny
builders in the sea that washed those
heights piled up their pink reef. In
form, the specimens are like ordinary
coral, but the color has faded to gray

The personal and real property be-
longing to the estate is valued at
$11LSS1, and about half of that amount
Is in cash, held in various banks Of

Shore tract and several other lots In
other tracts, all valued at $4,000.
In the personal property, blocks Of
stock in the Provident Mutual Build

troeum company are named.
OF the cash, the Citizens National
bank of Los Angeles holds $27,20S.20
and the Farmers &c Merchants Ma
tional $14, 950.66.
Attached to the petition for probate,
is the will of Mrs. Garfield, written
during the year of 1901.
"All the expenses incident to my
last illness and death I wish paid i'm
mediately from my estate,' reads the
will.
Thereafter I bequeath $500 to my
daughter Florence p. Garfield, $500 to

daughter Eileen u. Canfie1d and $500

Morris Buck, the murderer of Mrs.

fore Judge Smith in department one
of the superior court March IL.
No loophole of escape will be left for
the murderer and representing the dis
trict attorneys office, Captain John
D. Fredericks will take personal
charge of the prosecution.
Former Governor Gage and Attorney
Earl Rogers have been retained by
Garfield as associates in the prosecu-
tion and arrayed against this talent
Attorney A. ID. Warner, appointed by
the court, will conduct the defense for
the prisoner.
In the meantime Buck is taking his
incarceration in the county Jail with
calmness. Since the first few days in
the county bastile he has frightened
considerably and when the time comes
for trial it is not thought the defense
will have one thread of an insanity
charge upon which to hang a petition
for dismissal
Buck will be dressed up for the trial
and arrangements are being made to
have him appear as neat as possible.
