ent. Is to Receive Pension.

Algernon S. Higgins will be reelected associ-
ate city superintendent Of schools. His successor

Higgins was told yesterday that canvass was
made among the tWenty-nine commissioners OF the
Board of Education VINO assembled at the Hotel
Savoy Monday night to talk the presidency,

reappointment.
In the fall of 1904 Felix NJ Warburg opposed Mr.
Hggins's reelection, asserting that Mr.. Higgins
had passed the age of usefulness The board voted
to hold the election of his successor, however
in order to allow him to profit by the retire
ment law.

board on January "a. His salary is $500 a year
but the retirement law fixes 5000 as the maximum
pension that he can receive.

IL hope that will be able to find
one or more persons who will be able
to represent this Territory ut Kansas

who will be In that vicinity during the
convention or II not some friend OF
Hawaii who lives In Kansas city. IL
Is very desirable that we should
have some one there who will show
that we take an interest In the work
and who will look after our interests.
"If anyone in the Territory can
make suggestions In this regard Of
men who will be available for the
purpose I shall be most happy to take
them under consideration. We
should watch all these conferences
and see that our part Of the country
has an adequate representation In
them. Suggestions In this line will be
sure to receive prompt attention."

Corral Owner, in Defending Court Suit,
Says Present Proprietor's State

A horse trade, in which the plaintiff
claimed that he had been badly used
in three separate deals, formed the
basis OF the case of Frank M. Myers
against L. e. Mcclellan, heard yester-
day by Judge Conrey.
The plaintiff said he had purchased
a bay mare named Maggie of the de-
PENDANT at his corral on South Los
Angeles street and that Maggie proved
to be lame. He had given a buckskn
horse and $50 for the animal and when
the women of the Myers family tried
to get to their home I'm Boyle Heights
it is alleged that Maggie baked ana
bucked for hours.
Finally, after paying a veterinary
to treat the animal for some weeks,
Myers took her back to the horse
dealer. who gave him another horse in
exchange. 1t was alleged THAT the
second animal was worse than the
first and on returning this beast the
trader obliglngly supplied still another
horse
The defense claimed that the first
horse, Maggie. was n superior trotter
and that after being returned to the
trader he had sold her to a man who
would not take $1,000 for her now.

appointments, missed their supper,
missed many other things, lost their

quarters here and the broken wires
were spliced and the cars continued on
