MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
ORGAN DEN0UNCES
CERTAIN C0UNCILMEN

The following are from Municipal
Affairs. the official organ of the MuAdi-
cipal league of Los Angeles. In the
September, 1906, issue, speaking or tne
river bed franchise matter:
zone of the purposes OF the Munlci-
pal league, as set forth IN the con-
stitution is to take note of the Of
ficial conduct Of members of the city
government, commencing or condemn
ing as public policy may require. An
other purpose is: To oppose the nom
nation and election of unfit men Tor
office No man who participated IN
that atrocious attempt to betray the
interests of this municipality should
ever again be elected to public office.
The November issue, 1906:
-Four members of the present coun-
ell are candidates for denomination
and reelection in their respective
wards. They are Hitler of the Third,
Houghton of the Sixth, Healy of the
Eighth and Blanchard of the Ninth.
Every one of these men voted for the
river bed franchise. That was a pro-
ject sprung without warning and
jammed through in spite of the pro-
tests of the Municipal league, the city
attorney and citizens generally, to give
away without cent of compensation
to the city, three-mile strip along
the river bed to be used by Mr.. Hunt
o.
estimated to be worth $1,000,000. These
men voted for this atrocious scheme
of open and barefaced Spoliation, not
merely once-Which might have been
pardoned as an accident or mistake
but on two separate occasions, the sec
ond time in the face of overwhelming
argument and protest. No matter
what their merits may be in other
directions these men have shown them
selves unworthy of the citizens trust
and confidence and should not be re-
nominated, or, if renominated, should
not be reelected"
The December, 1906, issue will con-
tain the following:
"Of the present nominees for council
there are four that voted for the river
bed franchise. These are Hitler of the
Third ward, nominated by the Repub-
licans; Houghton of the Sixth ward,
nominated by the Democrats; Healy
of the Eighth ward, nominated by the
Republicans, and Blanchard of the
Ninth ward, nominated by the Repub-
licans.
"At the time the river bed franchise
was up for consideration the Municipal
league went on record with the state
ment that every man who deliberately
on the second vote supported that in
solent attempt to give away a valu-
able asset Of the city should never be
chosen for any place of trust and
responsibility. The first vote might
have been defended as a mistake, but
the second vote could be defended only
on the theory that the councilmen
lacked in common intelligence-or else
why? Not one of these men should
be elected"

tim, Whose Injuries Are
Severe

Thrown by sudden jerk from a
street car which she attempted to
board at the corner of Pico and Georgia

her when she attempted to board the
car and signaled the motorman to go
ON before she was aboard.

HEARD AROUND
TINE CORRIDORS
HOTEL CLERKS TAKES
UNTO HIMSELF A WIFE
BY THE EAvEsDRCPPEn

Byron Milton Tuttle, clerk at the
Angelus hotel, is having vacation
and charming young woman, until
yesterday Miss Irene Gair, nowsM Mrs.
Tuttle, is sharing it with him.
why doesn't Tuttle take his vaca-
tion?" is the question the clerks have
been propounding to one another ever
since the summer days made way for
those of autumn. Everyone else in
the hotel went off for a pleasure trip,
but Mr.. Tuttle could not be persuaded
to leave and his associates began to
think he was so securely welded to his
work he could not get away.
Finally, one more suspicious than
the others began to think there must
be particular reason why Mr. Tuttle
had been postponing it so long. He
had theory which he confided to me
and we decided to wait and see. Tues
day Mr.. Tuttle announced that he was
going to take his vacation, as he need
ed a rest. The knowing clerk said moth
ing but waited, and yesterday the
proof of his theory came when the mar
riage license of Miss Irene Gair and
Byron Milton Tuttle appeared.
At o'clock yesterday morning the
couple went to st. Pauls pro-cathedral,
accompanied by Mrs. Gair's mother,
Mrs. Margaret Gair of COL Edgeware
road. The ceremony was performed
by Dean Wilkins and later there was
a little wedding breakfast at the Alex
andria. Everything was done so quiet
ly the friends of the couple had no
chance to play the usual tricks. Two
of Mr.. Tuttles friends at the Alex
andria saw the license and heard of his
being In the grill. They sent out for
a large bouquet of flowers and while
they were composing congratulations
Mr.. Tuttle and his bride slipped away
without ever dreaming of the posies
coming in their direction. They have
gone for a wedding trip and thus the
reason for the postponed vacation.
Both the bride and bridegroom were
formerly of Buffalo, N. Y, but it was
through work at st. Paurs church
that they became close friends. Both
are prominent i'm church circles and
they have a host of friends in Los
Angeles.
No More Racing in His
Charlie Burman, the handsome young
motor car driver who not more than
wear or two ago used to make the
hearts of fair maidens beat faster by his
daring racing, arrived at the West
minister yesterday, accompanied by
Mrs. Burmar who was not with him
when he last visited here.
He comes from Cleveland, Ohio,
representing the Peerless Motor Car
company. and he says he is done with
racing forever.
~ have not raced for year. 1 was

not let me race any more" said Mr..
Burman.

HENRY G. COIL T .UND GUILTY
Jury Considers His Case Eight Hours
Motion for New Trial Is
Duly Made.

milwaukee,, April 30.--Henry G.. Coll.
cx-asslstant cashier Of the First Ma
uonal bank, of this city, has been found
guilty by jury in the United States
dlstrlct court on nineteen counts out OF
thlrfy-four. The counts in the indict-
he was found guilty relate to false en-
tries and the misapplication of funds
in the bank. The verdict was reached
by the jury after a session lasting
eight hours. The amount of money
which Coll was alleged to have mis-
applied was about $250,000.
Coll was unmoved by the verdict.
and referred all interviewers to his at
torneys. He was remanded to the GUS
tody of the United States marshal. At
torney William B. Rubin for the de-
PENDANT at once made q motion for a
new trial. Judge Quarles, in his charge
to the jury, said that bank officers are
to the law. He considered Coll as a
bank officer. Unlawful orders, he said.
should be reported to the directors.
Coll could not seek shelter behind his
superior, said the court.
Coll was the man through whom
Frank G. Digelow generally acted in
his misapplication of the funds of the
bank of which he was the head. When
the explosion came Coll, as he testi-
fed himself, was ordered by Fred
Vogel, Jr to take his hat and coat and
get out of the bank. He met one Of
the employees at the corner of Cass and
Wisconsin streets, and from him re-
| ceived the money the employe had
drawn out of sGoll's daughters savings
and then disappeared. He was ar
rested after a long chase in Chicago,
brought back to Milwaukee and re-
leased on $4,000 bail.
The grand jury returned an indict-
ment against him containing twelve
counts. The defense demurred and
knocked out four Of the most i'm
portant The case was then taken be-
fore another grand jury, after experts
had gone over the books of the bank,
and an Indictment of seventy counts
was returned. These included charges
of aiding and abetting BigeloW, of mis-
application of the funds Of the bank,
of false entries, and of embezzlement.
Before the trial District Attorney But
terfield nolled thirty one of the counts.
and during the trial nolled five more,
leaving thirty-four. Of these the jury
found him guilty on nineteen, two be.
ing for misapplication of funds and
the remainder for making false entries.
| The embezzlement counts were not in
Guided. The amount Of money alleged
to have been misapplied by Coll was

The Maroons were the descendants
of African slaves, brought to Jamaica
by the Spaniards. During the conquest
of Jamaica by the English the Ma
rooms, deserted by their masters, fed
to the mountain Businesses, where they
lived fierce, wild life. Increasing
daily in number by the many deserving
slaves, the Maroons soon became for
midable to their white neighbors, whom
they plundered and killed. In 1888 an
agreement was made which secured to
them an independence, which they
maintained for 40 years, but the Eng
lish finally determined to exterminate
them and for this purpose pursued
them barbsrously with bloodhounds
Hemmed in on every side and hunted
down, they were compelled to submit,
and only 600 escaped, who were trans
ported to the bleak shores of Nova SEQ
tia, where they persisted miserably.

A Rank Pessimist.

A Lady BOuntiful living in a subur-
ban village met an old man on the road
one day and asked after his family, his
health, etc. The old man gave a rather
gloomy account of things. He had to
work all day and every day, and he
was growing old and felt the cold and
was always tired. He wished he could
rest a bit after his long life of labor.
He was weary, very weary.
Lady BOuntiful reminded him gently
that every one had his share of work
to do in this world, and that it was all
only a preparation of the world to
come, where there will be no tears or
labor.
The old man shook his head and smil-
ed cynically.
THAT may be for the likes Of you,'
he said. But there'll be work for the
likes of me- 1t will be the same thing
there: John, clean the SUM- John,
hang out the MOON John, light the
stars John, stop the wind They will
find something for me to do, ma'am-
you'll see."

SiIage For Milk Cattle

waste. We have bad no complaint about

Kicking Cows.

It is not natural for cow to kick
when she. is being MIXED. Kicking
habits are almost invariably contracted
on account of mistreatment ON the part
Of the dairyman, and every good cow
man knows it is much easier to prevent
a COW from acquiring the kicking habit
than it is to cure her of it after it has
once been learned. A heifer never be-
gins to kick unless she is afraid of
something; hence the Importance of
handling heifer carefully and being
kind to her at all times If a cow has
confidence in her master she likes to
have him draw her milk; hence treat
your heifers with kindness from calf
hood up and avoid the necessity of hav-
ing to resort to means of keeping her
from kicking when mature.-Farmer's
Review.

A Valuable Dairy Cow.

If there is dual purpose COW, which
very much doubt, it is the Ayrshire,
writes correspondent of American
Cultivator. Being a good feeder and
inclined to lay Oh fat when not in
milk, which is at long intervals and
for short periods, she will not make
so much beef perhaps as some of the
larger breeds, but Of quality second
to none.
Her milk, which is ample in quaint
ty, contains at least an average amount
Of butter fat, and when separated con-
tains enough solids to make it Of extra
value for feeding purposes and SUI
perior to some milk yielding a larger
per cent Of cream.
Besides being a valuable dairy COW
the Ayrshire is fine looking animal,
which is certainly no discredit to her,
If of no advantage, and with most peo-
pie looks is a prominent factor.
