DISPUTE PRINTING CONTRACT
Suit of Long Beach Telegram Against
Press Taken Under Advise
Fnent

As an outcome of a recent disagree
ment among members of the board of
trustees of Long Beach regarding the
letting of the city printing contract,
the suit of the Long Beach Telegram
against the Daily Press was heard be-
fore Judge BordwelI in department nine
of the superior court yesterday morn
ing and taken under advisement.
In the meantime the injunction
against the enforcement of the contract
is still in effect and the city printing
of the beach town is massed and filed
with the city clerk until such time as
the superior court removes the ban.
The fight started several months ago.
At that time the Telegram entered the
lowest bid and the Press the highest.
Mayor Emo and Trustee Losee, the
councilmen now under charge of brib-
cry voted for the Telegram, while
the other three trustees voted against
1t and gave the contract to the highest
bidder.
The Telegram Immediately swore out
an injunction, restraining the Press
from printing city ordinances. Since
then the fight between the trustees has
been very bitter and, according to the
statements of Mayor Emo. his arrest
for bribery was the result of evidence
manufactured against him as the re-
suit of his actions regarding the print
ing contract.

Sunshine once more will gladden. the
hearts of the residents of Southern cal
ifornia. A light rain was predicted for
last night but today fine, fair weather
is prophesieG by the observers whose
business it is to regulate weather con-
ditions.
There has not been the average
amount of rain this season and the
month of January is much behind the
average. The edge Of the northern
storm, which has been the cause of
the rainfall. is passing to the east and
no more moisture for a little period
of time is promised by the weather
bureau.
The maximum temperature for the
twenty-four hours ending at O'Clock
was 5S degrees. which is the lowest
maximum that has been the portion OF
Los Angeles for some time.
The Weather man explains the storm
in the following terms: "The area of
high pressure central off the Washing
ton coast Friday is moving eastward
along the British border and is central
Saturday north of Montana. 1t is at
tended by rain throughout the Pacific
slope and snow i'm the Rocky mountain
regions. The rain or snow area ex-
tends also from the Rocky mountain
slope to the Mississippi valley, south
of the fortieth parallel.
"The pressure, following the passage
of the storm eastward, is rising on the
Pacific slope and clearing weather will
follow today in this vicinity.
There has been a general rise in
temperature west of the Mississippi
river and fall east. The gulf storm
is off the coast of Georgia this morn
ing, attended by rain on the Atlantic
coast states. The storm warnings on
the coast have been changed to south
west"
The rains which have caused an
abundance of thanksgiving in the
hearts of the rancher, were not alto
gether an unmixed blessing. A brick
building in the process of construction
at 524-526 South Main street collapsed
yesterday morning as result of the
rains. The cause of the collapse is
laid to n drain pipe which became
choked with storm water. This addi-
tional weight forced new wall out
of plumb with the result that it fell to
the ground.

MISSOURI PAPERS
ALL BAD, He SAYS
"SH0W ME-" STATE POOR ON
REQUISITI0NS
Attorney Declares He Has Found No
Documents atisfactory-Hoff-
mans Making Bitter
Fight

1T is a we'll known fact, your honor,
that no extradition paper from the
state of Missouri ever received in Cali
fornia has been properly made out. I
have had years of experience in that
particular line and never have I found
document of that kind from Missouri
that would stand the test of law"
Such was the statement made by At
torney Appel yesterday in Justice
Young's court during an argument
against the continuance of the exam
ination of Claude l.. Hoffman of Mis-
souri, who is charged with embezzle-
ment
Hoffman was a member of a prom
inent contracting firm in st. Joseph.
Mo. Shortly before Christmas he went
TO Denver. where he married, and
upon his arrival in Los Angeles Christ
mas eve he was arrested on a requisi-
ton from Missouri sworn out by the
district attorney of Buchanan county
at the request Of William Chittenden
Hoffman's partner.
The complaint alleged the embezzle-
ment of $500, but Huffman denied the
charge and stated that if there was
anything at all in the case it was moth
ing more than a civil suit
Aided by Bride
When an officer from Missouri ar
rived with 81 fugitive warrant, Mrs.
Hoffman had entered the field in behalf
of her husband and had retained an
attorney. After a technical legal battle
the Missouri documents were held to
be improperly made out by Judge
Smith of department / Of the superior
court, and Hoffman was discharged on
habeas corpus proceedings.
But the local district attorneys office
has never been beaten on an eXtradi-
tion case, and the remanding of Hoff-
man to Missouri in the custody Of an
officer came to be a point of pride as
well as courtesy with them.
Hoffman was re-arrested and Satur-
day morning was the time set for his
examination on the fugitive warrant.
In the meantime the proper form of
papers had not arrived from Missouri
and the officials seem to have taken
the view that the case is a civil one
and have lost all interest in it.
The district attorneys office was con-
tending for one more chance yesterday
and was granted a continuance until
Monday.
Il didn't care so much about this
when the case started said Mrs. Hoff-
man yesterday" for I knew it didn't
amount to anything more than a civil
case, but since the people are so deter
mined to send my husband back to
Missouri in charge of an officer I have
decided now that he ought not go under
those conditions and l will fight them
to the bitter end.
"They have insisted on a fight and
they shall have just as big a one as /
am capable of offering, We had in
C,,11
ing our honeymoon and will do so now
when we get ready.
But 1 don't want my husband taken
back by an officer, and I will do every
thing in my power to defeat these pros
ecuting attorneys

MAY DELAY INCINERATOR
No Money Provided for Collection Of
Garbage and Alexander May
Continue Work

While the new garbage incinerator
will be ready for use January 20, there
is considerable doubt in the minds OF
some of the councilmen whether 1t
will be accepted at that time, and Alex
ander may still hold on to his 500 a
day contract for an indefinite period.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-01-14

will be due to the fact that there is
no money provided for the collection
of garbage to be paid to the contrac-
tors who were awarded the garbage
contract under the new steel wagon
specifications.
AS the finances of the city are hardly
in shape to pay for this collection of
garbage the board of public works
may hold up the acceptance of the in
cinerator until the city has caught up
with it's finances.

CUT EXPENSES?
CAN T. SAYS LIPS
MAYOR DEMANDS THAT RE-
DUCTI0N BE MADE
Commission Hears UItmatum of
Council Finance Committee and
Tries TO Find Place to
Use the Ak

On what can Il c fire commission re-
trench to reduce the expenses of the
fire department for the next six
months? Three much worried commits
sioners, a much worried mayor and a
much more worried fire chief discussed
this question at the meeting of the fire
commission yesterday morning, but
reached no conclusion
According to Chief Lips there is no
place where expenses can be reduced
and according to the mayor they must
be reduced and that speedily. A COM
mittee composed of Commissioners
Wren, Robinson and Betkouski was ap-
pointed to make a thorough investiga-
ton and recommend such action as will
keep the fire department within it's ap-
prOpriation for the rest of the fiscal
year.
The mayor introduced the painful
subject by suggesting that as the f.
nance committee had made it compul-
sorry that expenses be reduced, ten men
Dc laid off from the department.
I'VE can't do it," answered Chief
Lips, almost with tears in his ewes
ITO lay off a single man would cripple
us and to lay off ten would put us in
such shape that we would not have
men enough to get the apparatus out OF
the engine houses. We are now work
ing short handed and in fact always
lave. Every other city of this size has
from ten to thirteen men to an engin
company. We average seven and our
largest company has but nine men. As
the men lay off three days in each
month it sometimes happens that we
nave but six men to company. and
the apparatus can hardly be handled
with this number"
Must Cut Expenses
But something has to be DONE" said
the mayor. I'VE have $4,000 worth of
IRE apparatus coming for which no
provision, other than the general fund
has been made, and this must be paid
for. ] deplore the situation as much
as anyone, but I must insist on some
thing being done TO relieve the sit
uation."
we might write to the manurac-
turers of this apparatus and stand
them off on payments until the begin
hihg OF the next fiscal year" sug-
gested the chief.
That would injure the citys credit"
said commissioner Robinson, and this
plan was abandoned.
BY laying off ten men the department
would save $4,000 in the next six months
but this amount would hardly cover the
provisional deficit of the fire depart
ment. If the committee concludes that
money must be saved in this way it
must also provide for reduction in other
expenses in order to have a clean rec
ord at the end of the year.

warm for about three months, but the nights
are always cool and the other nine months in the

This land was selected by a committee of seven
experienced Southern California farmers (elected
by the Homeseekers' club who pronounce the
soil equal to any of the very best soils in the state
of California for general farm products.
Plenty OF water at the very low cost of 40 to
90 cents per acre per year.
You may think opinion Of this opportunity
too prcjudiced to carry much weight, but we
honestly believe this land will make every pur-
chaser money than any other land or town
lot proposition in California today. Here is what
we base Our calculations upon and what you may
reasonably expect if you join with us and pur-
chase land before January 20:
Frst-The Tuare Lake lands arc already at
tracing more homesccltcrs and more capital than
any other farming district in the state, and this
great thrush of capital and growers is only just
beginning. The richness of the soil and abundant
water supply will make it one of the most pop
uous and prosperous ccnters in California
Sccond-1hc price per at which you now
have the opportunity to- purchase is positively
less than half of what adjoining lands are now
selling for in 20 and 4O-acre tracts, and our lands
will have the closer markets and our town will be
the center of trade.
Third-In our opinion this land will be worth
from $Ioo to 5000 per acre inside OF two years.

The committee appointed by the
commercial club to consider the
proposition OF the Swedish Lutheran
church to locate its college here, pro-
viding the city would donate a 10
acre site and $4,000 cash, has de-
cided to recommend favorable action
This means its adoption. At the last
meeting OF the executive committee
with Rev. J. Jespersm, who repre-
sented the church, new terms were
agreed upon. Under the original
terms the city was to pay $4,000 on
the expenditure of $4,000 by the
church for college buildings. Under
the new terms the city pays $1,000 for
every $500 the church expends, pay
able in such instalments by the city.
The city was first to guarantee per
cent interest on the $50, 600; under
the last terms the city guarantees no
interest but pays as its instruments
become due.

mittee are enthusiastic over the pros
