PROPOSE CANT ZEN
FOR AQUEDUCT MEN
No-DRlNk AND DRINK FORCES
COMPROMISE
New Scheme Discussed Which viii
Regulate Saloon Question on Line
of Owens River Ditch During
Construction Period

The canteer question has bobbed up as
the latest proposition to control liquor
traffic along the line Of the Los Angeles
aqueduct.
Possibly in the next few days a PROPOSE
tion will be laid before the Los Angeles
aqueduct board to establish a conpro-
mise plan so that liquor may be sold,
but under strictest regulations and or
city land where full control can be had
of conditions.
The plan proposed is exactly on mill
tary lines. the receipts of the canteen
after expenses have been paid, to be lie
voted to getting luxuries for the men,
Only aqueduct employees will be ad-
mitted, the canteen will close early-say
at 10 oclock-absolute order must be
kept, no drunkenness viii be tolerated,
and in a general way the place will be
conducted for the best interests of the
men.
If this plan Is carried out the authori-
ties must first get liquor licenses in Kern
and Inyo counties, it is thought, and the
saloon element which is trying to es-
tablish drinking camps outside of the city
zone, may oppose these efforts in those
counties.
Those back of the project say they ex-
pect opposition from the church and tenn
perance advocates. but rely on puDllc
sentiment to favor the canteen with Its
modified drinking rather than the de-
bauchery which they say Is inevitable .e
if, as is now probable, saloons will be
permitted outside of the aqueduct line,
especially in Los Angeles county.
AS thousands of men will eventually
be employed on the big work much inter
est is felt and much money is involved
in the outcome of the proposition by en-
ployes of the board, the board members
and the> public as well as reformers
The canteen will be equipped with
delicacies canned goods, candies, fruits.
nuts. stationery and all kinds of sup
plies, the net profit of which vii be
divided among the men. the intoxicants
being side issue, as was the case in the

LITTLE GIRL TELLS OF
INHUMAk TREATMENT
Children Testify to Brutality of Step
father--M other Of Little Ones
Gives Evidence Against
Husband

Attorneys judges, constables ana otn-
ers who have become accustomed to ths
daily tragedies passing through the Grim
inal courts were moved with emotion yes
terday Afternoon in Justice Summerfields
court as little 11-year-old Pearl Coleman
told of the wrongs done her by her step
father. George w. Harris.
When she had finished the story of the
brutal and inhuman treatment Of her un-
natural guardian her little brother took
the stand and corroborated her evidence.
Little by little the attorneys drew from
the children the story of the wrongs done
them by the man Harris.
Then the mother, Mrs. Mabel L. Hac-
ris took the stand and told ner version of
how the thing occurred. Harris was go
ing to Bakersfield and insisted on taking
the children with him. The man started
out the early part of June with the two
young children in two-seated buggy,
the trio driving to Elizabeth lake on the
way to Bakersfield. They camped at
nights, according to the woman, in the
open, spreading their beds upon che
ground 1t was on this trip that the
cruel treatment alleged by the children
occurred They were strangers in the
country and knew no way of getting
away from their terrible guardian.
Arriving in Bakersfield Harris is said to
have opened a second hand store, where
the children lived with him about six
weeks. Then the mother went after
them and brought them back to Los
Angeles. When they arrived in their
home city they told their mother the
story of their wrongs, which resulted in
the suit in Justice Summerfield's court
yesterday afternoon.
Harris was held over to the superior
court on $4,000 bond.

eGLRLLE' APPEARS
IN POLICE COURT
DOG CATCHER vAcHER LOSES
HIS CASE
Hot Tilt Between Lawyers Amuses
Audience-Warrants Are Issued
for Arrest of Sales
men 81

'Girlie' occupied much of the attention
of Judge. jury, witnesses and spectators
in Police Justice Austin's court yesterday
"Girlie' is a dog-a pretty Spitz, SIX
months old She belongs to George A.
McLain, who was being tried on a charge
of resisting Dog Catcher William Vacher
when he tried to place McLain under
arrest on September IA last.
The trouble between McLain and the
dog catchers is of long standing accord
ing to testimony of witnesses, and dis
putes have been warm and frequent.
On September IA, while Vacher was
irving to place the dog in his wagon,
McLain interfered and, as Robert Smith,
a witness stated, 'poked the dog catcher
in the~face."
Former Prosecuting Attorney Dyer
handled the case for McLain. while Depu-
ty Prosecuting Attorney Ford appeared
for the people. Argument between the
two attorneys became sarcastic during
the summing up of the evidence Mr..
Dyer's expressions of sympathy for What
he termed Mr.. Fords youthfulness and
inexperience were answered by the depu-
tv prosecutor with the statement that
the only part of his opponents presenta-
ton that should appeal to the jury was
that his whole argument was unneces-
sary.
The jury was given the case at O'CLOCK
and an hour later returned verdict OF
not guilty and McLain was released.
In connection with the case bench war
rants were issued by Justice Austin for
the arrest of G. E. Dunley, l.. Farrell, 4.
Brown, e. Haycox and v. R. Cooper,
because of their failure to appear IN
court as talesmen.

THREE MEN AND WOMAN
MAKE LIVELY DISPUTE
Patrolman Attempts to Act as Peace
maker and Ends by Taking
Quartet to Police
Station

Patrolman McCleary, attracted by an
excited crowd at Main and Arcadia
Streets last night, found three men and
a woman engaged in a dispute, which
was varied occasionally by an exchange
of blows between two of the men.
The people engaged in the row were
Mrs. Sarah' Monroy of 521 Bloom street,
Thomas Yraola of 239 West First street,
Ricardo Gasman and Private Detective
De Tora of a local agency.
The patroIman took the whole party
to the central station, where after Capt.
t. III. Broadhead had established a clear
ing house of information and invests
gated the matter Gasman was locked up
on a charge of suspicion.
1t is alleged that Gasman had been
boarding with Mrs. Monroy ana had left
without paying for his keep. He then
moved to the Hotel Walton, where it
is alleged he defrauded Yraola out of
some personal property of small value.
The detective was hired to find Gasman,
and by coincident the party met at
Main and Arcadia streets. THE detective
was attempting to arrest Gasman when
the policeman came up, but as he had
no warrant Gasman resisted.
