MILK ORDINANCE
CALLED UNJUST
Restaurant Keeper Declares Inspect
ors Should Deal with Source of
Supply and Not Eating
Houses

Five dollars or five days is the pun.
ishment meted out to proprietors oi
restaurants for selling milk below the
standard by the police justices, and the
result is that there is a great deal OF
indignation being expressed by the
keepers of eating houses.
Il understand the ordinance and why
it is up to you to fine us in accordance
with it, said j. l.. Dolan, proprietor OF
the lunch counter at 23S East Fifty
third street to Police Justice Frederick
son yesterday.
THE ordinance is unjust, however, .
he continued, land I can easily show
you that it is. 1 buy my milk from a
dairy company. 1t is delivered by their
driver to my place and I>put it in the
ice box. 1 instruct the walters to stir
the milk we'll in order to mix the cream
with it, but they frequently forget, and
the consequence is that before quarter
of it is served the cream is all gone
and the remainder of the milk is what
the inspectors call below standard.
81 fail to see why should be punished
for that, and think the proper ones for
the inspectors to get after are the men,
bers of the dairy firm"
Mr.. Dolan was fined $5 despite his ex-
PLANTATION, and a number of others also
cashed in a similar amount.

SANTA FE FORCED
TO STAND TRIAL
JUDGE OvERRULES DEMURRER
OF CORPORATIONS
Efforts of Railroad and Lime Company
to Evade Prosecution on
Technicalities Is
Defeated

Judge Olin Wellborn, after hearing
the arguments on demurrer advanced
by the Santa Fe railway and the Grand
Canyon Lime and Cement company, in
the United States court yesterday, de-
cided that the indicted companies must
stand trial on the charges brought
against them for accerting rebates. The
second Monday in July was the time set
for the trial. and on that date the
cases will be heard in regular form.
Seventy-six counts for giving rebates
were included in the charges on which
the demurrer entered by the railway
company was argued yesterday, while
the lime company, which ) held to
have accepted rebates, was named in
thirty-eight instances. The indictments
were returned ly the fedora. grand
jury last January and are brought for
alleged violations of the Elkins law.
e. H. Van Cott, acting for the rail-
road, and G. F. Holland, attorney for
the lime company, represented the de-
PENDANTS. and United States District
Attorney Lawler replied to the argu-
ments advanced. he arguments were
brief on both sides, and the demurrer
was disposed Of in short order.
According to Attorney Van Cott in
his argument yesterday the railroad
was not liable under the indictments
returned, because those indictments do
not charge the railroad with any Of
fense committed against the laws Of
the United States within the limits Of
Southern California nor within the dis
trict of California.
The attorney contended that the
question involved is one of venue; that
the Indictment shows no agreement
having been entered into between the
roi tho limo in this
state; that the payment of freight
charges in this city did not constitute
an offense, and if an agreement was
made in violation of the Elkins law the
act was committed at the point of ship
ping and therefore in Arizona, another
state. Mr.. Van Cott confined himself
almost wholly to the first point in the
demurrer and did not dwell to any great
length on other points.
Attorney Holland, for the lime COM
pany, endeavored to show that the in
dictments did not state sufficient facts
to proYe that the railway company had
not flee with the interstate commerce
commission and published and posted
a full schedule of it's freight rates, tar
iffs and charges. The Indictments sim
ply stated that the Santa Fe had not
done this as required ( law. Mr.. Hol-
lands contention was that more detail
should have been given and the differ
ent steps taken in the process be EMU
merated.
In his reply Attorney Lawler stated
that the offense was committed in Los
Angeles, because the freight bills were
paid here. ITe also -ew favorable
opinion from the bench in regard to the
fact that the section in regard to the
publishing, filing and po5ting of freight
rates was sufficiently definite TO cover
the case.

SHERIFF SURE
TO GET WARDEN JOB

Now that WARREN Porter, lieutenant
governor of the state of California, has
been appointed to a place on the prison
board in place Of Charles Belshaw,
friends of John Burr, who has been
spoken of as a possible warden at Fol-
som, are confident that theiF favorite
will secure the coveted place.
Warren Porter is related to the Por-
ters of San Fernando, where Burr has
made his home for many years and
where he is closely allied to the affairs
of the big ranching interests controlled
by the Porters The former sheriff is
said to have secured the new prison
directors pledge to support him for
the place which will be made vacant at

will be able to use his influence with
his fellow directors to put Burr in the

HOUSE HOLDER
WRESTLES WITH
A BIG BURGLAR
Intruder Jumps Over
BaniSter
Runs from Muscular Antagonist and
Vaults Over High Barbed Wire
Fence to Escape Severe
Drubbing

In q desperate fight with a burglar
at 3 o'clock yesterday morning Thomas
Cash, S52 Stephenson avenue, was in
jured while the thief escaped by jump
ing from the second story to the first
and vaulting over a five-foot fence
with two feet of barb wire above it.
The police were notified and officers
were sent to the scene. They searched
the neighborhood thoroughly, but were
unable to find any trace of the thief
Mr. Cash was asleep in his room
a few feet from the head of the stairs
About 3 o'clock he was awakened by
nearing some one moving in the lower
part of the house. Mr.. Cash arose and
went to the door of his room and
listened intently. A few minutes later
the householder heard footsteps but q
short distance from his door. Mr.
Cash was unarmed, but did not hes
ttate to open his room door and run
into the hall. The light from a win
dow showed him the form of a tall
heavily built, roughly dressed man
standing but q few feet away and
Mr.. Cash at once grappled with him.
For several minutes they wrestled
back and forth, Mr.. Cash gradually
mastering his opponent.
Jumps Over Banister
Seeing he was losing the fight the
thief with a sudden jerk broke from
the arms of his opponent, sprang to
the head of the stairs and vaulted
over the banister and into the hall
below. Mr.. Cash sprang down the
stairs, reaching the bottom just in time
to see the burglar running through a
side door.
Mr.. Cash started in pursuit but was
soon brought to a halt by a high
board fence which surrounds his yard.
The robber placed his hand on the
upper strand of barbed wire, hesitated
for moment and then vaulted over
Mr. Cash then returned to his home
and telephoned to the police.
"The man appeared to be a trained
athlete" said Mr.. Cash yesterday, land
he certainly was a good fighter. He
could not have been armed or he would
have made some effort to draw a gum
If L had been armed 1 would have
got him, but 1 feel sure my house is
now proof against other visits from
him, as he did not seem to enjoy his
tussle.''
