OF WOMEN
INFEST PUBLIC PARKS

The efforts of the park patrolmen to rid
Eastlake park of toughs and young men
who insult women and girls eliminated
yesterday in the arraignment in Justice
Frederickson's police court of four young
men on charges of disturbing the peace
in Eastlake park Sunday afternoon.
The men arrested are Roy Lebrun,
Paul Massey, c. f. Smith and Albert
Trajo Park Patrolman Rushton says
that these young men, in company with
many others, assaulted him when he was
endeavoring to arrest a Mexican who had
hugged small white girl and had re-
fused to stop when the police officer told
him to quit. Rushton says the Mexican
was trying to kiss the child when he in
terfered.
The actions of men in the public parks,
especially in Eastlake park, have become
a nuisance to respectable people who wish
to enjoy few hours outing in the pub
lie parks on Sundays. Many of the young
men try to firt with young girls and
sometimes become very insulting.
The offenses are all small in them
selves, but are very annoying to the
women and girls subjected to them. Sun
days trouble was an aggravated offense,
but it brings to the attention of the police
a state of affairs which ought to be rem
edied if respectable girls are to be allowed
the freedom of the public parks.

OPENS AN OLD WOUND
Accident Aggravates Result of Injury
Received by Soldier

Henry Siercs, a veteran of the Philip
pine war, yesterday received bruise
upon his right leg which the doctors at
the receiving hospital say may result in
the loss of his lower limb.
Siercs was working on a telephone pole
on West Eighth street yesterday when
he slipped and struck the shin bone OF
his right leg against the pole, scraping
off several inches of skin and laying the
bone bare in several places. The wound
in itself would not be serious were it
not for an injury which befell Siercs when
he was a soldier of Uncle Sam in the
Philippines several years ago.
At that time Siercs was shot through
the leg by a Philippine sharpshooter who
was hiding in a clump of bushes. Siercs
was sent to the government hospital, but
it was over five years before the wounded
leg healed so that he could use 1t.
Yesterdays accident reopened the old
sore where the bullet had ploughed its
way and the dotocrs say that the least
complication may render necessary the
amputation of the former soldiers leg.
Slercs lives at 45S South Flower street.

IMMENSE PRODUCTION OF
OIL AT SANTA MARIA
LOS ANGELES CAPITALISTS ARE
INTERESTED
Contracts Let for Millions of Barrels
for Shipment to, Japan, San Franz
cisco, San Diego and
Other Points

"rbe Santa Maria oil fields in northern
Santa Barbara county looms first among
California oil producing areas its present
production being at the rate OF looo'oOV
barrels per month, which exceeds the rate
of OUTPUT of the Kern River field, long the
leader in production, but now IN seconu vi
third place through the decline Oh Hs
wells"
The foregoing was the statement OF an
official of the Central Union Oh company
of Los Angeles, recently organized, Tor
active development work In the SANTA
Maria district
Continuing the official said in substance:
'Only about five years have elapsed
since the Western Union Oil company, a
Los Angeles corporation, brought in the
first producing wells, and the total NUMBER
of producing wells now is only about lUO'
a number much smaller than several helus
in the state can boast of, but so generous
is the output per well that the field, as
stated, is the premier one of the state
with brilliant promise of occupying that
rank among the oil fields of the entlre
country. Nearly all the wells flow, and
the ordinary ones would be considered DIE
producers anywhere in the world Gushers
or spouters have been numerous. The
Union, Western Union, Brookshire and
Pinal companies have brought in wells
that spouted derrick high at the rate OF
1000 to 10000 barrels daily for a week or
more before they were brought under con-
troll and compelled to act sanely. The
field bears abundant evidence of oil
deluges. The Western Union has one well
which, on the authority of Manager Thos
Hughes has produced 100000 barrels OF
oil and is as good producer now as ever.

Clever Detectives with Only Slight
CIew Capture Offender

Another arrest has been added to the
long list of worthless check passers
which has rapidly accumulated on the
sergeants record book at the police sta
ton.
William Huntoon is the latest to be
charged with violating the law making
it a misdemeanor to draw check on a
bank in which there are no funds be-
longing to the drawer of the check
Detectives Carroll and Bussee picked
up Huntoon on the street from descrip-
ton furnished by Jefferson Wilson, the
man who claims to have been defrauded
by Huntoon.
Wilson says that Huntoon came into
the Golden Gate saloon, at First and
Los Angeles streets. and asked him to
cash a check for $22.50 Wilson gave him
81 on the check, but found that 1T was
of no value when presented at the bank.
1t was made payable to William Huntoon
and signed by S. A. Tucker. The name
Tucker is a fictitious one The check
was indorsed on the back by Huntoon in
his own name.
Huntoon was arraigned before Justice
Fredrickson yesterday and his prelimi-
nary examination was set for July 16

RAIL WAY OFFICIALS
PLACED UNDER ARREST
FIRST STEP TAKEN TO ENFORCE
FENDER LAW
Motormen and Superintendents of Two
Lines Arraigned in Police Court,
Where Attorneys Seek
Delay

which were sent upon the streets yester-
day without the prescribed tenders.

in which to enter their plea of guilty or
not guilty. The superintendents were
also taken to the police court and given
until Thursday to answer the charge.
Sam Haskins appeared for the defend
ants.
The arrest of the car crews and their
superior officers caused but little incon-
venience to the railways. The only trou-
BILE they were put to was that of walk
ing to the police station and back to their
work. Only three cars we're detained.
All signs point to a delay In bringing
the companies to an observance of the
law When arraigned yesterday Attorney
Haskins asked that his clients be given
considerable time in which to answer the
charge but the peoples attorney object
ed, and Justice Fredrickson compromised
on Thursday.
Robert p Sherman of the Los Angeles
Pacific, when seen last night, said that
his company was making no strenuous
efforts to put tenders on its cars, and ne
did not think it would today. Asked II

the purpose of hauling sand therefrom.

Councilman Clampitt asked for a weeks
delay, saying that he wanted to hear

CITY FIGURES ON COST
Must Have 1,75o,ooo Barrels of Cement
for Aqueduct

Conferences are held regularly between
the board of public works and cement
men to see what economic arrangement
the city can make to supply the Los An
geles Aqueduct project without building
a plant of it's own.
At least 1,750,OOO barrels of cement will
be needed in addition to what has been
purchased The recent bids were such
that city officials hope that cement can
be had for $1.0o barrel At that rate
1t is possible that all needed will be
bought, though the city owns cement
lands near Tehachapi.
Others say, however, that the city
ought to have and keep cement plant
of its own. as other municipal work in
which cement will be needed will be
presented. With this plant in existence,
even If idle. lower bids are assured on
all public work.

Among the big contracts that are to

field and make numerous other wells
necessary the largest is for 2O,OOO,OO0 bar
rels for Japan, the quantity to be de-
livered at the rate of 100000 barrels per
year Shipments on this contract have
already commenced, three steamers, each
carrying 600 barrels, having sailed from
Port Hartford. The Western Union com
pany has contracted to sell the Standard
10000, 900 barrels at the rate of 100000 bar
rels per year. The Union has contracted
to deliver to the San Francisco Gas ana
Electric company 1,25O000 barrels in one
year at d price understood to be around
81 per barrel delivered at San Francisco
The Union has also big contract at al
most the same price for oil delivered to
