COURT ACTS ON
THREE ESTATES
HALF MILLION DOLLARS ARE
INVOLVED
Guardian Appointed for Former Los
Angeles Man-Widow Made Ex-
ecutor-Griffith Will Ad-
nitted to Probate

Three estates amounting to about
half million dollars were the subject
of discussion before Judge Gibbs in de-
partment of the superior court yes
terday.
The petition for the appointment for
a guardian to manage the estate of
Joseph A. O'Sullivan brought to light
a very sad story of the former An
geleno's troubles.
The petition was filed by Ellen z.
O'Sullivan of London, England, and she
asked that Attorney j. Wiseman Nc
Donald be appointed to take care Of her
brothers estate.
OSullivan is said to be insane, and
his local estate amounting to something
more than 100000, chiefly in real estate
and bonds, will henceforth be managed
by Attorney Mcdonald.
In the guardianship petition for the
care of the estate of the late Tadeo
BUTLER, the widow was appointed GUS
todian of funds amounting to about
100000 to care for until the five minor
heirs have reached their majority.
The petition for probate of the will of
the late John M. Griffith, the former
pioneer lumber man OF Los Angeles.
was also filed yesterday in the superior
court. The sons and daughters were
named as benefciarieS of the estate
amounting to about 100000. The Po-
tomac block, also owned by Mr. Griff1th
was given by him to his sons some time
before his death, so that that share of
the property was not taken into con-
sideration.

NEGRO is CHARGED
WITH REVOLVING CRIME

F.. Jones, negro porter in the saloon
of Theodore Duncan at Eighth and
Olive streets, was arrested last night
by Officers King and Home, charged
with a revolving offense.
Jones is said to have made practice
of calling little girls from the Grand
avenue school at Eighth and Grand
into the back room of the saloon where
he was employed, in several instances
1t is positively known that the negro
attempted to entice little white girls
by offers Of candy.
When the officers went to the saloon
yesterday in search of the negro, they
met "a crowd of little girls, not one
of whom was more than nine years
of age, coming out of the rear entrance
to the place. After questioning the chill
dren the officers arrested the negro.
When Officer King attempted to put
the negro under arrest, Jones started
to draw a razor, but before he had
a chance to use it, King knocked him
down. The negro rose from the ground
and again tried to use the weapon, and
again the policeman felled him to the
ground The negro will appear in court
this morning.

TO INVESTIGATE
ALL RAILROADS
CLERK EXPECTED TO MAKE
DISCLOSURES
United States District Attorney LawIer
Declares He Will Thoroughly
Probe the Question of
Rebates

Apropos the fact that the federal
grand jury will today consider the
charge made against the Santa Fe rail-
road for alleged payment of unlawful
rebates to shippers, United States Dis
trict Attorney Oscar Lawler yesterday
stated that thorough investigation
will be made in this regard among all
the railroads.
Subpoenas have been issued for the
officers of a number of corporations as
sociated with railroads, and 1T is ex-
pected valuable information may be OBJ
tanned from them, which will reveal
the exact extent of the rebate law
violations.
From Virgil A. Sappenfield, who for
long term was employed by the Santa
Fe Railroad company as revision clerk,
Attorney Lawler hopes to obtain val
liable testimony.
Sappenfield is now incarcerated, in the
city Jail for alleged petty larceny. He
was charged by the Santa Fe with hav-
ing stolen SIS from money entrusted
to him in his office as revision clerk.

LEGATION SECRETARY
LIKES LIFE IN CHINA
PREFERS THE ORIENT TO THE
UNITED STATES
Southern California Man Who Has
Advanced Rapidly in Diplomatic
Circles Tells interesting Tales on
First Trip Home in Four Years

Thomas Ha skins, assistant secretary
of the American legation at Pekin,
China, is in Los Angeles with his Wife
for short visit, and what seems un-
accountable to an American, he says:
81 enjoy China very much and L
don't know but what / would rather
live in the orient than in the United
States"
Mr. Haslxins would not talk Of the
political affairs of either country or OF
their trade relations, as he says 1t IL
against government rules, but he has
many interesting anecdotes to tell or
the Chinese life. He says:
"The American legation is situated
Just outside the walls of the empress
dowager's palace, known as the For
hidden CITY," and although we can
gaze at the walls as much as we want
to we are never permitted inside unless
on some special audience. We have
our own streets, our homes built just
like American houses, there are no
Chinese near us, and the few foreign
ers are such splendid people II is a
pleasure to live there"
This is the first trip home Mr.. and
Mrs Haskins have made in four years
and although they are glad to see
America, they will be delighted to see
home again.
MIR. Haskins is a graduate Of the
local high school and also of the Uni
versty of Southern California He
studied Chinese while at Berkeley and
was appointed when he was graduated
to the position of student interpreter
to the American legation at Pekin and
six months before his regular promo
tion was due he was appointed to the
assistant secretaryship.
Mr.. and Mrs. Haskins will first go
to Washington and then return to

Park Propositions

Renewed efforts are being made with
apparently good prospects of success to
have city park developed on fifteen
acres adjoining the reservoir tract,
north from Charlotte street and extend
ing east to Soto street. Some of the
heavy property owners east of the
county hospital are active in presenting
the proposition. 1t is understood that
in the near future the short cut electric
line to Pasadena will run across the
southeast corner of the proffered acre
age, and that extra Transportation
facilities will be provided.
Attorney John T. Jones, representing
the interests of Griffith j. Griffith, who
will be released from the San Quentin
state prison in November, states that
the question of right of way for an
electric railway through Griffith park
cannot be settled until Mr.. Griffith ar
rives in Los Angeles. Mr.. Griffith, it
will be recalled, gave about 5000 acres
for park purposes to the city, stipulat
ing that railway line should not be
built within the grounds. 1t is desired
to run line through the east end of
the grounds. 1t is believed by the pro-
moters of the railway that Mr.. Griffith
will join in the petition to the city
council for the improvement.

WANT RESERVOIR FOR PARK
Park Commission VIII Decide Petition
of Ninth Ward Property
Owners

A petition. numerously signed by res
idents and property owners of the Ninth
ward was presented to the council yes
terday asking that body to set aside
the unused portion of the old Hazard
reservoir for n public park The coun-
ell referred 1t to the park commission
and the water board.
The reservoir site in question is
bounded by San Pablo and Soto street.
Orange slope and Florence terrace. 1t
contains thirty acres and only one is
used by the city for its reservoir. The
petitioners want the unused twenty
nine. acres converted into a park.
According to the petition no work
would be necessary with the exception
of laying out roads and walks, and but
little expense would be attached to con-
Verting this into park, as 1t is full
of natural beauties. Councilman Blan-
chard Is behind the movement for the
park, in the interests of his constitu-
ents, and it is expected the park win be
ordered.

Refutes Husbands Statements That
She Is Not Rational and Says.
She Has Distinguished
Relatives

'T am one Of the heirs to the greater
part Of the property situated I'm the
western part of Los Angeles which Is
known as the West Adams district,
besides the land occupied by Agrl-
cultural park, and the city block upon
which is built the Los Angeles county
court house"
Such was the statement made yestcr-
day by Mrs Nanon Terrence, who has
recently come into local notoriety by
a trial in police court for drunken
ness when she made the rather star
tling statement that she was the rela-
tive of Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago
and General U. s. Grant, and a num-
ber of other notables.
This, property" continued Mrs. Tor
renee, "was left to the lineal descend
ants of Jacob Bell, and as such 1 am
one of the heirs. Jacob Bell was one If
the early settlers of Southern Califor-
mia, and accumulated fabulous riches
as a rancher in the early days of Amer
ica's history.
Tells of Litigation
HE was murdered in 1872 by a
Frenchman with whom he had trouble
over the division line of property. The
Frenchman was later mobbed and
dragged through the streets of Los An
geles, owing to the fact that his claims
to the title of property held by my an
cestor We're discovered to have been
false.

cashier of the First National bank at
Des Moines, Iowa, is forcing legal ac-
ton to recover the property belong

latest reports have received from him
it seems probable that the title may
be cleared within a very short time in
our favor
Several of the most prominent law
yefs of Los Angeles have taken the
case on contingent fee proposition,
which demonstrated their faith in our
title to the property"
This revelation was volunteered last
night by Mrs. Terrence as rejoinder
to the statements made by the wo-
mans husband. Andrew G.. Terrence,
who lives at 1887 West Thirtieth street,
and who ridiculed his wife's claims to
blue blood, saying that she was merely
of common birth. Mr.. Terrence further
stated that he believed hi; wife was
hardly rational.
