Bond AID Bill saved.
The senate by a large majority refused
this morning to indefinitely postpone H. r.
52s by Hamer. providing that cities, VIII
lagos and precincts may issue bonds In
aid of the construction OF steam railroads
When the bill was reported back from the
railroad committee Phillips OF Holt county
asked that It so to the sitting committee
file. AS a substitute Epperson of Clay
moved that II be indefinitely postponed.
After a long discussion on the question OF
voting bonds for railroads the Epperson
motion was lost by the vote OF to II.
The bill is intended to cure a "joker''
in a bill passed early in the session which
cut out from the present statute the pro-
vision allowing precincts to vote bonds in
aid OF railroads. The bill was ostenslbly
one to allow the voting OF bonds to aid
telephone companies. Epperson of Clay
was interested In the passage OF that bill
in order to head on some elections In aid
OF an interurban railroad running through
Hamilton county. The measure had been
signed by the governor before its real inn
port was known. Some OF the senators
from the sparsely settled districts imme-
diateiy got to work to undo what they had
unwittingly done. The Hamer bill allows
bonds TO be voted by two-thirds vote IN
aid Of steam railroads. but cuts out electric
roads. The action taken today indicates
the bill Will pass the senate.

PHYSICIANS SAY $1,000
is REASONABLE CHARGE

Four physicians were on the witness
stand in Judge N. P. Conrey's' court yes-
terday to prove the contention of r. l..
Smart, plaintiff in a damage suit against
the Los Angeles & Redondo Railway COM
pany, that $4,000 is not an unreasonable
fee for the operations performed on the
leg of his son, Orville Smart, who was
injured in a collision between two street
cars at Forty-second street and Wesley
avenue August 13, 1906
Mr.. Smart, who asks $4,000 for the in
juries sustained by his son, claims the
boy was confined in bed in the hospital
thirty weeks as result of his injuries
and that three operations of delicate
nature had to be performed on the injured
limb.
The physicians who took the stand
agreed the price charged for the service
was not unreasonable
This evidence was introduced in answer
to the demurrer of the railway company,
claiming the charge was out of all reason.
The. father claims that his son is a
cripple for life because of the injury.
He says his son was an active boy and
earned $50 per month before the accident
1t is understood the original demand of
Mr.. Smart was for a larger amount of
damages. but the dispute was settled out
of court. The case will be taken up
again today.

DECOY CANINE CAUSE
OF OWNERS ARREST
CITIZENS SECURE WARRANTS
FOR DOG cATcHERs
Officials Seek Complaints, but Prose-
cutting Attorney Holds They
are in Wrong and Must
Face Charge

"It takes thief to catch thief is
the adage that Pound Master Vacher
followed to his sorrow yesterday, when
his little dog Fidolene, which he uses as
a decoy to attract the attention OF ca
mines upon which the watchful orbs OF
it's master fingers, was itself captured.
AS q result dog catchers and many well
known residents of Forty-flfth street were
yesterday In the room at the police sta
tion where City Prosecutor Guy Eddie
listens to the stories of distress told by
persons who have, or who think they
have, grievances against their fellowmen.
William A. Hubbell was the spokesman
for the citizens present, while the dog
catchers seemed to be alone in the un-
unsympathetic gathering.
Vacher wanted to swear to complaint
charging the citizens with interfering with
his duties, but the tables were turned,
and instead a complaint was granted to
Hubbell, charging two of Vacher's men
with disturbing the peace.
Residents of Forty-fifth street and Mo-
meta avenue became incensed over the
manner in which the dog catchers were
using the decoy to gather into their
wagon the pets of the neighborhood, and
a fistic encounter was almost precipitated.
Mr.. Hubbell .teiephoned for an officer
from the University station, and that
worthy told the crowd to go to the pros
ecuting attorneys office, which they did.
The dog catchers demanded a complaint
charging interference with their duty, but
after listening to the stories told by the
provoked citizens Mr.. Eddie made out
complaint against two of the catchers,
charging them with being offensive i'll
their conduct and language.
