Fraud and Judge UphoIds
Assertion

C. Weesner, local contractor, appeared
before Justice Selph yesterday morning
charged with embezzlement.
The complaining witness was L. P.
Snaer, photographer, who II is said con-
tracted with the defendant to build. a
home for him in Hollywood. Snaer gave
the man $500 to begin work on.
Snaer later received a note from Wees

ALLOWANCE INSUFFICIENT
FEED COUNTY PRISONERS
Rise of Prices Said to Cause Sheriff
Loss-New Ordinance May Be
Asked for on His
Return

Friends of Sheriff w. A. Hammel say
that he Is losing 5000 monthly on feeding
the prisoners. Eight cents has been
the sum determined upon by the board of
supervisors to feed the county prisoner
for one meal Since commodities have
been going upward in the past few weeks
the price of prison feeding has ad-
vanced to ten cents and more.
1t is thought that when the sherin
returns from Milwaukee, where he is
at present, a petition will be brought
before the supervisors to pass anNRr-
dinance which will provide for the un-
expected rise in commodities.
The situation is accumulated by the
habit of beach town justices in. confin-
ing drunks for one day in the county
iail. They have the accommodations of
the jail, bath, a sleeping, place and
a good breakfast the next morning. On
each trip beach constable makes to
Los Angeles he receives mileage, which
comes out of Mr.. Hammeps pocket, for
the present at least.
