HAMMON KEEPS PROMISE
OBJECTS TO OIL CABLE
After Next Year the Oil Rigs That
Are Being Operated in the Sec
ond Ward Will Be Pulled Out and
Ward Become Real Estate Center

Through Councilman Harmon ad-
herring strictly to the letter of his
promise to his constituents and ignor-
ing the spirit, the Second ward yester-
day lost an opportunity to rid itself of
nine squeaking wire cables that are
stretched over Court street in the oil
district.
An oil producer, through Oil Inspector
Blackmar, asked for a permit to stretch
two wire cables over Court street and
remove eleven he now has in operation.
hut which. from their location. are
not as valuable for his purpose as would
be the two cables he proposed to use.
Councilman Harmon had promised
his constituents that he would never
vote for a permit to stretch an oil cable
in any part of the Second ward, and he
vigorously opposed the application in
the council. Harmon wanted the ap-
plicatlon filed This was lost by a vote
of 4 to a. Kern wanted II adopted.
This also was lost by the same vote
After the first of next year most of
the oil rigs that are now in operation
in the Second ward will be pulled out
and the ward will become a real estate
center instead of an oil producing
locality.
Most of these wells are now non-pro-
ducing and are merely being operated
because the machinery is there and II
is as cheap to keep them going as 1t Is
to allow them to remain idle.

were about years old and they did re-
markably WELL When the little girls

one false note. The little tots came

followed.
The technique was faultless for such
young performers and some Of them had
touch which will make them famous

performer was loaded down with
flowers.
The feature of the evening was the
song by Miss Kathleen Lockhart. She
Is no more child and has long sunny
curls which reach pretty near to her
waist, but she has already gone far on
that road which says at the end, II am
world known composer"
The song she gave, when Love Is
Done" was composed bv herself, and
itsN sad, sweet melody would @ credit
to many a more experienced composer.
Her voice also has great power and
gives utterance to thoughts In the
melody which mere words could not
express.

DEFIES JUDGE WILBUR OF
JUVENILE COURT
Relates Story Of Trials and Tribula-
tions Extending Over Period OF
Years and Scope of Whole
Country

"Well, if you railroad me to dat dump
at Whittier I'll break de coop and slip
quick, and don't you forget it."
There was defiance in the bad boys
voice as he stood before Judge Wilbur
in the juvenile court yesterday to re-
ceive a sentence which will mean that
he spend the next five years of his life
at the Whittier reform school.
The Judge looked into the boys eyes
and finding only bad there, handed
down his decision in the case. The lad
gave his name as Martin Willeford and
his address as Kansas City.
Eyes, l done had a hard time of 1t,
remarked the lad as he walked to a
seat near Deputy Sheriff Conart. DE

for the reform school, and he kicked

garments.

queried the court.

''Have you ever been arrested for
stealing?"
Surprised at Ignorance
The lads eyes opened wide in sur
prise and he smiled on the Judge as
though the bold display of ignorance
was shocking.
"Now, judge, you don't tell me that
you don know about my stealing" said

The maximum temperature of the
season was reached yesterday at 1880
O'Clock. when the thermometer of the
United States weather bureau recored
80 degrees. The minimum was at 5
O'Clock last evening, when the tenn
perature stood at 20 degrees If Fore
caster Wollaber has the right advance
information, today will be another of
the real warm ones. If it becomes any
warmer than it did yesterday the record
of warmth for June will be broken.
The trolley lines to the beaches were
crowded all day with people from Los
Angeles and the small towns between
this city and the mountains. Although
the heat here was the greatest of the
season and considerable discomfort was
felt by the residents no one was re-
ported as being overcome by the heat,
while in the east cases of sunStroke
and heat paralysis are common.
The asphalt pavements were softened
to such an extent that the lightest
vehicles passing over them left a track
a quarter of an inch deep. In some Sec
tions of the city it was softened so that
a man walking upon it left foot prints,
as if 1t had been soft mud.
The heat, although great. was not
record breaking, for in .une, 1896, 1O5
degrees were recorded, and in 1879 1O4
degrees were reached by the mercury in
the thermometer.
In the country between Los Angeles
and the mountains the heat was espe-
cially severe. The strawberry crop
about Glendale has been helped tre-
mendously by the sunshine and the
heat which is so unpleasant to the city

Bankers Are Receiving From 6 to 7

Although this is the sea son of the
year when general business usually
begins to show signs of lapsing into a
comparatively dull state, no marked
tendency in that direction is being
manifested as yet, judging by money
market conditions Local bankers say
the demand for money is good, being
about equal to the supply and that the
situation as a whole is highly salts

Bankers say they are finding no diff

WILL ERECT Big DAIRY PLANT
Messrs. Platt and Sessions Ask for
Change in Ordinance Prohibit
ina BUILDING Near Church

Claiming that an ordinance prohib-
iting the establishment of dairies within
500 feet Of a church, school or residence,
was special Legislation aimed directly
at themselves, Charles H. Sessions and
George E. Platt, proprietors of the
Belle-Vernon Farms company, yester-
day opposed its passage by the coun-
ell.
Mr.. Platt declared that if the pro-
visions of the ordinance were enforced
it would drive all the milk stations out
side of the city and raise the price of
milk to % cents quart. He stated
that his company had just purchased
a large tract of land at Sixteenth and
San Pedro streets and intended to
build and equip one of the finest dairies
in the country, to cost not less than
100000. Under the ordinance it would
be impossible for them to build on this
ground.

Becomes Bride of AnseIeno

After a friendship extending over
five years, Miss Irene Schel Of Kansas
City, Mo-. and Wesley B. Scott of Los
Angeles were married Saturday, the
anniversary of the marriage of the
brides father and mother, the ceremony
taking place at the home of Mrs. M.
A. Bartlett of Pasadena. Rev. Robert
J. Burdette. member of the college
fraternity to which the bridegroom be-
longed, performed the ceremony. The
parlor of Mrs. Bartlett's residence was
decorated in sweet peas and the cere-
mony took place under a canopy of
asparagus ferns with a background of
palms The bride was dressed in white
null trimmed with lace and she carried
bouquet of lilies of the valley. In
ner hair she wore orange blossoms. The
wedding was the elimination of pret-
ty romance, and the date of the we'd
ding, which was to have taken place
in the fall, was set back. After the
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Scott left for
Catalina island, where they will remain
for a few weeks, After their return
they will be at home at the Alvarado

BOY SAYS HE WILL ESCAPE If
SENT TO INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

the boy, and he shook his head in
amused surprise.
The lads case, according to the
statements of the probation officers, is
a distressing one. Willeford, although
only sixteen years of age, has tramped
all over the continent, spending almost
all his life in company with tramps
and yeggmen of the worst character.
He has helped feed the animals in a cir
Gus, has slept in box cars and stolen
pies from the farm house windows.
and the fact that he must spend the
remainder of his minority in a reform
school is a bitter pill for a lad who
has seen more of the rough side of life
than all the instructors at the reform
school put together.
The boy will be taken to Whittier
this morning and begin to try to be
good.

HARDWARE FIRM GETS
SHORT TRACK FRANCHISE
AFTER SIX MONTHS DELAY THE
UNION COMPANY WINS
Third Rail to Be Laid on Central
Avenue to Accommodate the Wide
Gauge Freight Cars-First ordi-
nance Passed by Council Vetoed

L. C. Scheller, who represents the
Union Hardware company, was yester-
day granted a franchise by the city
council for track on Central avenue,
between Third and First streets.
The question of this franchise has
been before the city council in some
form or other for six months. The
proposition is to lay third rail on
Central avenue between these two
points in order that wide gauge freight
cars may zoe used for the hardware
company's plant.
When the first ordinance was passed
by the council it was promptly vetoed
by the mayor, who objected to the third
rail in this congested district 1t was
referred to the committee of the whole
on its return to the city council and
yesterday taken from the committee

ALL RECORDS
ARE BROKEN AT
SAN BERNARDIN0
Special to The Herald.

SAN BERNARDINO, June 1S.-The
present period of hot weather is al
most without precedent for June. To-
day and yesterday the mercury has
touched the 1OS mark, and this is the
tenth day that the heat has been 100
or over or close to that figure.
Coming so early in the season and
so quickly after the cool weather that
has prevailed most of the time for
the past few weeks, the heat seems al
most uncomfortable and the exodus is
on to the beaches and to the mountains
in earnest.
The last week has seen hundreds of
people leave for the various resorts
and if the heat continues many moro
days the exodus will probably be the
greatest that it has ever been for a
similar period.

TRUSTY At JAIL
KILLS HIMSELF
STRANGLES TO DEATH AT
STRAPS END
Officers Believe Thought of Betray-
ing Confidence Of Police Caused
Thomas Carnes to COM
NIT Suicide

Thomas Carnes, trusty who escaped
from the city Jail Sunday and was re-
captured at Third and Main streets,
strangled himself to death early yester-
day morning with the aid of strap
that was used to hold the bedding to
the cot IN his cell.
Assistant Jailer Frank Mack found
the man hanging to the bars of the cell
when he went into the Jail to get the
chain gang ready for work about 7:15
o'clock. Mack cut the strap around the
mans neck and carried him into the
receiving hospital DR.. John Cook ex-
amined the man and found that he had
died from strangulation, his neck being
broken.
Carnes had been allowed great liberty
at the Jail because he always behaved
himself and had made Himself useful
by keeping the looks at the Jail. Sun
day he was allowed to go to the laun-
dry next to the police station, a liberty
which had been given him a great many
times. He did not return to the station
and officers were notified to be on the
lookout for him. He was found at
Third and Main streets and was con-
fined in a cell.
Think Mind Unbalanced
The police think that the man was
temporarily deranged and that this,
with the fact preying upon his mind
that he had broken faith with the Of
ficers by running away, caused him to
take his life.
Carnas was % years of age and came
of a good family at Dubuque, Iowa. He
had served all but twenty days of six
months sentence, his time being up on
July 8. He was confined in jail on
account of passing bogus checks. The
charges against him were that he
bought several pals of candy and had
them sent to fictitious address in Pas
adena. In payment for the candy he
rendered bad checks and received
money in change in excess of the price
of the sweets.
Carnes chose a time to kill himself
when he knew he would not be inter-
fered with. The assistant jailer makes
an inspection Of the cells at 6 O'Clock
in the morning and does not return
until 7:15. During this time Carnes put
the strap around the bars of the cell
and around his neck, killing himself
