POLICE BOARD WANTS
TRANSFERS PAY RAISED

If the finance committee of the city
council can find the funds the pay of
chain gang teamsters will be raised.
The following petition was acted on
favorably by the police board yester-
day:
1--WE the teamsters in the city chain
gang and other citizens of Los An
geles, in view of the fact that barley
and hay, together with all other feed
for teams, has risen in price and the
keeping of the teams has become more
expensive, ask and petition your hon
orable body to recommend to the hon
orable city council that the pay for
teamsters be raised so that they will
hereafter receive $3.50 per day instead
of $4 as now paid.
attention is also called to the fact
that the county supervisors have
raised the pay of the county chain
gang teamsters for the above reasons" +"

MAL|BU RANCH is
OPENED TO PUBLIC
Health Resort Permitted to Run Stage
Line Through Domain Long
Closed, and Road May
Be Built

After having been barred to the gen
eral public from time beyond ken OF
the Oldest inhabitant, the gates of the
Malibu ranch have at last been al
lowed to swing open and now the Dig
property to the west and north OF
Santa Monica is somewhat easy Oh
access.
Not that the Rindge estate, which
owns the domain, will permit every
nasserbv to roam at will over its dells
and mountains, but the Colyer-Decker
company, which controls a health re-
sort on the other side, has been given
nernission to run it's stage line over
the Rindge roads.
This is considered favorable omen
by those who own farms and caplns
in the vicinity of the Colyer-Decker
sanatorium as it is predicted that the
Ternission granted is but the open
ing wedge, and that public highway,
or- at least one that can be used by
the general public, will soon run
through the Malibu. That this Will IA
ciIitate matters and do much to open
I'm the vast and fertile country to the
west and north of the Malibu is not to
be doubted, as at present the RESIDENTS
of that section are forced to make a
wide and tedious detour in reaching the
markets of Santa Monica and Los An
Just why the Rindge estate finally
decided to grant permission for thor
ouehfare through their lands cannot
he determined. The Colyer-Decker
company, which obtained the coveted
franchise, has been organized but a
short time, and as it is made up OF
wealthy New Workers it is thought in
many quarters that some connection
with the Gould lines, which are known
m he looking for an entrance into Los
Angeles, has been established. Whether
this is true, it is at present the ap- tp
narent object Of the company to es-
fahlish a big health resort, which can
he reached in no otheh way than
through the Malibu.
Recent railroad construction on the
rancb has caused much speculation on
the part of those in this vicinity init WIG WIG
are looking for the advent Of the Gould sI "a
road at no distant date. The Rindge
estate managers are unusually secre-
tive in regard to the uses TO- toy Whleh the
their line is to be put, but the fact that
il is being constructed will not bear
denial

ENDS LONG FIGHT
OVER POOL ROOM
Police Board Restores Permit to Allen
of East Third Street, Revoked
Year Ago Because
of Club

The police board yesterday re-
stored to j. S. Allen his permit for a
pool room at Oh East Third street.
Allen lost it he claimed because of
misconduct of a social club to which
he sublet space. The action yesterday
ends long fight within the ward.
Chief Kerns report restoring the
precious document was:
with reference to the application
of j. S. Allen for reconsideration of
the action of the board of police COM
missioners taken at it's meeting on
June 5, 1906, at which time the per-
NIT for a billiard hall license at 701
East Third street held by him was
revoked,
"I have made a careful investiga-
tion of the circumstances and facts
connected with this action of the
board and have examined all the re-
ports made in connection Herewith.
"It does not appear that Mr.. Allen
was charged with any violation of the
ordinances regulating the hours when
such places are to be closed, ETC.
"Mr. Allen has resided in this city
for great many years; he possesses
very wide range of acquaintance
and his high character is attested by
those who have known him well dur
ing his life in Los Angeles.
"He is entirely competent to con-
duct such a business properly and has
had much practical experience in so
doing; he feels that an injustice has
been done him by the board in taking
the action which it did.
"In view of all the circumstances, as
shown by the investigation, 1 recon-
mend that the action of the board be
reconsidered and that the permit then
revoked be restored to Mr. Allen"

INCREASE TAXES
TO PAY TEACHERS
Five Cents More on Each Hundred
Will Give Each Teacher $100
Additional on Salaries
for Year

An additional tax of cents a year on
$100 will enable Los Angeles county to
pay her school teachers almost $100 a
year more.
Joseph Scott, president of the Los
Angeles board of education and cham
pion of the teachers in the higher salary
movement, led delegation to the
county board of supervisors yesterday
morning to aid the county teachers to-
ward more money. His associates were
Mark Keppel, county superintendent,
and DR.. e. c. Moore, superintendent of
Los Angeles city schools. The trio were
closeted with the supervisors for half an
hour. At the close of the conference all
the supervisors expressed themselves as
favoring the scheme, though no official
action can be taken till the board meets
the third Monday in September to fix
tax rates for the coming year.
The proposed increase in salaries will
require an increased tax appropriation
for school purposes. Last year the
school rate was 21 cents on each $10O
assessed valuation. When each teacher
gets $100 more a year this will have to
be raised or cents. All the members
of the board were present yesterday
morning except Supervisor Wilson.

NEGRO HELD FOR
DEATH OF VICTIM
MULLEN TO BE TRIED ON A
CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER
Is Alleged to Have Killed White Man
with One Blow of His Fist
In Labor Trouble
Recently

William Mullen the negro who is
alleged to have caused the death of
Patrick Connolly an employe Of the
water department, was bound over to
the superior court by Justice Frederick
son yesterday under $1500 bail. A friend
of Mullen furnished the bail and the
man went home with his family for the
first time since his victims death.
The evidence introduced in the pre-
liminary hearing showed that the
action of Mullen was not so bad as re-
ported. 1t was said that Mullen had
beaten Connolly with a cobblestone,
but not one of the witnesses examined
said so yesterday. The testimony was
to the effect that Mullen had knocked
down William Coldfield. the f1agman at
the railroad crossing at Second and
Alameda streets. Connolly was rush
ing up to interfere when the negro
swung his arm around behind him very
quickly and caught Connolly just be-
hind the ear with his fist. The blow
fractured the skull and Connolly died
soon after.
The case was tried under the second
section of the manslaughter law which
treats of acts done under heats of
passion.
A pathetic picture was made in the
nearly deserted court room by Mullen's
family yesterday afternoon.
Father Is Affected
He has five children, ranging in age
from 11s months to years. Mrs. Null
len had each little pickaninny dressed
UP in spotless white garments, all alike,
and they sat on the hard bench in
straight row, while their father smiled
at them from the prisoners dock. The
little black faces were shiny and clean,
the dark eyes were staring with curios-
ity at the unusual surroundings. Two
big tears filled the negro's eyes when
he first looked at them. Then he
quickly wiped the drops away and
looked sheepishly around to see if any
one had seen him.
People interested in the case say that
behind the facts as shown in court
there is the story of union and nom
union fight. The trouble is said to be
a sequel to the recent teamsters' strike.
Mullen was a non-union man and Con-
nelly was a union man, and it is' said
Connolly had it in" for the negro
strike breaker. Mullen is said to have
been aware of this fact and did not
want to take any chances with Con-
nelly when he saw him coming.

LONE WOMAN WINS OVER
CIVIL COMMISSIONERS

The civil service commission yester-
day wrestled with the problem
whether a lone woman, who lives
three minutes walk outside of the
limits of Eagle Rock Valley school
district, would be eligible for appoint
ment as janitress in the school house
there.
Eliza Allen made formal application,
but as her home is just outside the
limits waiver of the rules was neces-
sary.
The commissioners decided to do
this, as the pay is only small and a
precedent existed for it.
