BATTLING OVER
ASSESSMENTS.
ATTORNEYS LOOK AFTER BIG
CORPORATION FENCES
Before County Board of Equalization
Verbal Fighting Will Be Done
With Assessor Ward on
Guard

A battle royal between attorneys rep~
resenting the local corporations and the,
members of the county board of equal
ization will be fought out today when
the attorneys will appear before the
supervisors and contend that fran
chise is non-assessable.
For years the fight has been at every
meeting of the board and every time
the corporations have met with defeat
and the assessments have been levied
regularly.
This y.dr the franchises have been
hit harder than ever and Ben Ward,
county assessor, will be close by DUR
ing the argument, and when an attor-
ney manages to score a point on Ward
his friends all present him with some
fine remembrance.
Yesterday a number of big corpora :
tions entered their objections to being
taxed.
Walter Parker, for the Southern Pa
cific, asked that the assessment on
franchise be changed from $12O,000 to
$40 and that little change will proba-
bly, be taken in with the grand finale
of kicks at today's meeting of the
board.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
OYSTER BAY, L. l., July 12.-Mrs.
Asi l.. Esac, who has frequently
written Secretary Loeb, has arrived in
Oyster Bay and will take a room ad-
joining the executive offices, where she
says she will wait until she can inter-
view Mrs. Roosevelt on a matter of
life and death.
IF | cannot see Mrs Roosevelt" she
added, Il can send her an express pack
age, and a big one, too"
Secretary Loeb, who has received
several letters from Mrs. Esac in times
gone by, will make an investigation of
her case at once. She says her mission
is purely a family affair and relates to
females, She says she is a relative on
her mothers side to a brigadier general
in the army.
Mrs Esac walked from oyster Bay
to Sycamore Hill this afternoon and
argued with the secret service men
there for an hour. She was very in
sistent about seeing Mrs. Roosevelt
and was finally induced to walk back
escorted by a member of the secret
service corps, although she was not
placel under restraint.

MATHEWS To RUN
|. FOR CON GRESHAM
CITY ATTORNEY ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY
Will Allow His Name to Go Before
Republican Convention, Which
Will Meet Soon to Select
Nominee

W. B. Mathews has decided to enter
a contest for the nomination at the
coming Republican congressional con-
Vention.
About three weeks ago, or just be-
fore he left for Washington, Mr..
Mathews was strongly urged by some
of his friends to enter the field against
James McLachlan for the nomination.
He declined to give a positive answer
at that time, but his friends We're
sufficiently encouraged to start a pc
tition in his behalf during his absence
from the city. This petition, it is said,
has received a large number of sigma
lures.
Announces Decision
Yesterday MI Mathews announced
that he had decided to make the race
and that he would begin at once to
make an active campaign for the NOM
ination. His letter is as follows:
LOS ANGELES, July II, 1906,-To
Messrs. H. L. Lee, r. j. Waters, M
II. Newmark and others-Gentlemen
Il beg to acknowledge receipt of the
communication signed by you, inviting
me to become a candidate for congress-
man for this district.
1T is unnecessary to state that
utcply appreciate the great plllntIll
of having so many influential citizens
of this county suggest my name in
connection with that honorable office
This district. by reason of its geo
graphical position, its growth in wealth
and population, and its varied CONNER
cial interests, is one of the most inn
portant in the entire country. This
fact, besides making the position OF
it's representative one of high dstinc-
I,t,
erous responsibilities.
"After carefully considering your
communication. and also the recon-
mendation of many friends that l seek
another municipal office, l have con-
cluded to comply with your suggestion
and become a candidate before the
coming Republican congressional con-
Vention.

the people in the various precincts of

Charges in Full
ITO the Honorable Curtis D. Will
bur, Judge of the Juvenile Court
of Los Angeles Comfy.

ITO the Honorable Curtis D. Will
bur, Judge of the Juvenile Court
of Los Angeles County:
The probation committee of the
Juvenile court in fulfilment of it's
duty prescribed by the juvenile
upon the detention home of Los
Angeles county as follows:
"First-The quarters in the old
county jail building occupied as a
detention home have been repaired
from time to time by the honorable
has also assured the committee
that provision for new quarters
will be included in the next bond
issue submitted to the people. The
committee has been asked to sub
nit plans and now has these under
consideration.
''Second-The committee reports
further that at the request of the
court it investigated the recent at
tempted outbreak by inmates of the
under cover of the noise or up
roar made by the Yelling and
shouting of the inmates within, the
boys boldly chopped with a
broken handled ak at the brick
work surrounding a second-story
barred window in the toilet; that
the discovery was made by the
court house janitor from the out
side when the boys had nearly
succeeded in breaking through;
that the court house carpenter had
heard from some distance on the
outside the hammering going on
for an hour or more.
THE matrons and guard failed
to hear it because of the aforesaid
noise of inmates.
"Third-The committee regrets
to report Furthermore that lax
government prevails in the deten-
ton home. There Is lack of
cleanliness therein. There is dis
position on the part of the superin-
tending matron to belittle the
guard and to use unwarranted and
impolitic language in the presence
of inmates.
"The management shows a lack
of knowledge of the first princi-
pies in handling and guiding the
inmates. There is a lack of eX-
ecutiYe ability and of cooperation
with the probation officers, the
school department and the commit
tee, and a disregard of the recon-
mendations of the said committee.
THE committee Is convinced that
these facts are of character suf-
ficient to practically nullify the in
tention of the court and the act.
Therefore. the probation committee
believes that for the best interests
of the Juvenile court an immedi-
ate change of management both as
to matrons and guards should take
place in the detention home and

JUVENILE COURT COMMITTEE
RENDERS REPORT
Charges Matron With Being lncompe-
tent to Manage Boys, but Young
sters Are FavorabIy Inclined
to Mrs. Pratt

BY order of the county board of su-
pervisors yesterday Matron Pratt of
the detention home will be allowed two
weeks in which to file her defense of
the charges brought against her by the
juvenile court committee. After that
the supervisors will consider the
charges and investigate the conditions
existing at the detention home.
The present matron. according to
statistics, has managed to conduct the
detention home in first-class condition.
she has had many troubles and has
been compelled to combat with the dirt
and filth of the old county Jail.
The entire work of fixing up the old
rattletrap has been hers.
For an assistant she has had an old
man who, While he has been able to
take some care Of the boys, he has not
succeeded in keeping them as quiet as
they should be.
According to the statements Of the
boys of the detention home yesterday
they have always received motherly
treatment from Matron Pratt. and there
is not a boy in the lot who would say
a word against the matron.
Some time ago, it is alleged the ju-
Venile committee iugges ted that the
boys wear white duck coats and blue
oVeralls. Mrs. Pratt demurred on the
ground that the laGs would be uncom-
Portable and would always be dirty.
Have Patent Theories
1t is said that that act caused the
trouble. According to statements OF
former guards of the detention home,
the members of the juVeiile committee
have no conception whatever of how a
boy should be treated, and many OF
them, ii is alleged, have patent theo-
ries for the upbrlnging of children.
The boys of the detention home are
lads who have received severe jolts In
their meeting with the grim old world
and they cannot be handled ike babies
Therefore there will be strong de-

fense for Mrs. Pratt when the men,
bers of the Juvenile committee appear
before the board of supervisors and in
sist that Mrs. Pratt be ousted from her
position.
Yesterday the formal charges made
against the matron by members of the
committee were handed to the board of
supervisors and after a heated argu-
ment they read the charges in public
Then it was decided to continue the
question until after the board of equal
ization disbands.
Following is a copy of the charges
and a report from Judge Wilbur of the
juvenile court. in which he states that
the committee should have the power
to appoint or discharge the employees

which the primary election law does
not apply, as those in which it does
apply 1t is currently rumored that
certain members of the congressional
committee, who are opposed to my
candidacy, will attempt to have the
committee itself select the delegates
from the precincts outside of Los An
geles and Pasadena and thus defeat
any effort that might be made in my
behalf to have the voters of those
precincts elect delegates who would
favor my nomination. Such proceed
ing would be so unjust and un-Ameri-
can that l do not believe it would be
sanctioned by a majority of the COM
mittee or submitted to by the people.
"As regards my fitness for the office
of congressman, | can only refer my
fellow citizens to the people of this
community, among whom 1 have la
bored for the past five and one-half
years as city attorney for the city of
Los Angeles They should know
whether I possess the requisite ability
and traits of character for such po-
sition. [ will say, however, that if /
should be sent to congress, it would be
my constant endeavor to accord to all
persons and interests a square deal;'
to uphold the principle that this gov
ernment of the people is, and should
be- a government by and for the peo-
pie: and, by unremitting industry and
attentiVeness in the discharge of my
duties, to give this district thorough
and efficient representation in the ma
tional Legislature.
81 therefore submit my candidacy to
the Republicans of this county and re-
spectfully solicit such assistance as
you and other members of the party
can render, by vote and influence, at
caucus and primary, to bring about my
nomination. w. r. MATHEWS"
Will Be 1923 Delegates
There will be 129 delegates in the con-
gressional convention. Eighty-four of
these will be elected under the primary
election law and forty-five will come
from that part of the county where the
primary election law does not apply
A suggestion which is assumed by
many TO be in the interest of Congress-
man McLachlan has been made that
the congressional committee name the
forty-fiVe delegates outside of Los An
geles and Pasadena, but strong oppo-
stion to that plan promises to develop.
1t is evident, also. that Mr.. Mathews
counts on this opposition becoming suf-
ficiently powerful to defeat the scheme.
Mr. Mathews says he will rely upon
the majority of the congressional COM
mittee to give him fair play and upon
the people IN the precincts IN question
to see that they have voice in the
selection of the delegates who will
represent them in the convention.
Favored for Mayor
Strong pressure has been brought to
bear on Mr.. Mathews to induce him to
become candidate for mayor, and
by many persons it has been taken for
granted that had he consented to per-
NIT the use of his name for that Of
fee he would have headr' the ticket
which is to be placed field by
the non partisan city tal commit
tee.
His chief ambitio however, seems
to be to represent mis- district in con-
gress. 1t is understood that he has

term as city attorney. His present
