INDICTMENTS RETURNED
AGAINST FRUIT GROWERS

Two indictments returned by the
federal grand jury after an 'investiga-
tion into the affairs of the California
Fruit Growers association were made
public yesterday, the documents ac-
cusing officers, employees and former Of
ficials of the company with using the
mails in furtherance of a scheme to de-
fraud.
The defendants are Ollie j. Watkins
DR.. c. P. V. Watson, George H. Peters
Mrs. Flora ]. Peters, ]. W. Lawrence
and H. w. Hansen of Los Angeles; Ira
A. Leighly of Detroit and G. Maurice
Bartlett of Pasadena. Against Wat
ktns, Mrs. Peters and Leighly two in
dictments were returned. The blanket
indictment contains seven counts; the
other, three.
A former complaint filed against the
company officials and upon which they
were to have a preliminary hearing
July 10 will now, officials say, probably
be dismissed.
The indictments are voluminous af-
fairs, going at length into the scheme
of the company to sell five-acre orange
groves on the partial payment plan,
one Of the accusations being that the
company does not own the ground it
contracted to sell. The further charge
is made that the ground is without
water, though company agents are
said to have told prospective purchas-
ers otherwise.
With two exceptions, all of the de-
PENDANTS We're admitted to bail. Their
formal arraignment will be held later.

BRIDGE ADVOCATES
SEEKING FUNDS
WOULD AVOID BONDS IN GET
TING STRUCTURES
Councils Finance Committee Is al
Work on Budget, After Which
Active Steps VIII Be Taken
in Spanning River

Advocates of new bridges for Los
Angeles are making determined effort
to get these much needed structures
without resorting to bond issue to
bring about the improvement.
Some time this month a decision will
be made as to the most feasible way
of getting the structures which will
bring all parts of the city in close
touch by permitting rapid exchange of
trolley, wagon and pedestrian traffic
over the Los Angeles river and parallel
railroad tracks.
Chairman Wallace of the finance COM
mittee seems to hold the key just now
His committees advice is law. His two
associates on the committee, Messrs.
Dromgold and Blanchard, are ardent
bridge advocates. Mr.. Dromgold is es-
pecially interested in the First ward
and Mr.. Blanchard in the Ninth The
latter is now out of the city on vaca-
ton and will not return for at least
two weeks.
BY that time the city's budget will
be ready, it is thought, and then the
financial wizards will determine how
the tax money shall be spent under
the new assessment roll.
Enemies of the bridges have tried to
spread the belief that the city is SIM
ply helping the railroads to get new
is not true, say councilmen. They say
that the citizens as well as the trolley
get vast benefits from these
bridges and the railroads pay large
cost of the structures besides.
Chairman Wallace says he is unwill-
ing to express an opinion at present on
what is best, as he wants to know
Just how much money the city will be
able to spend in the next two months
when the income from tax receipts
will be meager. He wants to see the
outfall sewer completed first.
Councilman Dromgold says bridge
plans are being hurried as fast as the
financial work can be done, both being
a question of some weeks yet. He is
strongly in favor of bridges because
his constituents are. he declares.
Before going away Councilman
Blanchard said hardly a day passed
that he did not bring up the subject of
bridges and he hoped to see some work
begun before the next rainy season set
in.
All of the councilmen who discussed
the subject said they favored paying
all public improvements possible out
Of the current revenue, as all were op-
posed to unnecessary bond issues. On
the other hand they said that the
bridges were wanted, and that soon.

AUTO|STS
PAY THEIR FINES
VICTIM OF MOT0RIST TAKEN
TO HOSPITAL
Man 5rutaIy Run Down and Left
Manned In Street Leaves Family
in PltiabIy Destitute Cir
cumstances

Seven men charged with exceeding
the speed limit were arraigned in po-
lice court yesterday morning. r. f.
Lewis was sentenced to pay fine of
$40 or pass twenty days in the city jail.
Lewis explained he had been exceed
ing the speed limit but was in a hurry
to get home and see his mother who
was i'll. In view of this explanation
sentence was suspended.
G. S. Holman, recently arrested on a
similar charge, was fined $40. III. p.
Crouch, ]. A. Harris, J. U. Ferguson,
James Mazi and Louis Burke were each
fined SIS.
William Straco, the laborer who suf
fered a broken right hip as the result
of being run into and knocked down by
brutal chauffeur at Seventh and
Broadway Friday morning, was taken
to the county hospital yesterday. He
suffers great pain. So far the police
have been unable to learn the identity
of the man who ran down Straco and
then drove away with only a passing
glance at his victim Efforts are still
being made to find the man, whose per-
formance, according to spectators, was
one of the most heartless and brutal
ever seen in Los Angeles. If his iden-
tfty is discovered a warrant will be at
once sworn out for his arrest.
Straco's family is in the most desti-
tute circumstances and it will probably
be six or eight weeks before the man
is again able to stand on his feet. When
notified of the accident his wife broke
down and cried bitterly, saying they
had no money and that it would be
necessary for her to go out and seek
work in order to earn a living for her
self and two children while her hus-
band was in the hospital.
Straco received a check for $12 from
the firm by whom he was employed as
his regular weekly salary yesterday
and Mrs. Straco said it would be neces-
sary to use every cent of this to pay
bills the family owes, and immediate |
want stares her in the face.

URBAN ACADEMY PUPILS
ARE OFF FOR CATALINA

Exercises marking the closing of the
school year of Urban academy, one of
the most exclusive schools in Los An
geles, were held in the school building,
900 Beacon street, yesterday, and today
the pupils will adjourn for month to
Catalina, where swimming, rowing,
fishing and athletic games will take
the place of text books.
The exercises at the school opened
with a military drill in which a num-
ber of the pupils participated. This
was followed by an interesting musical
and literary program.
1t is customary in this school to cele-
brate every child's birthday with a
party, and as three of the youngsters,
Jose Goycoolea, aged II years; Tony
Goycoolea, aged 10 years, and George
Mitchell, aged 9, had their birthdays
yesterday, the celebration was made a
part of the closing exercises. Tables
were arranged in the dining hall and
were decorated with flowers and can
dies, while three large birthday cakes
held places of honor.
On their visit to Catalina the chill
dren will be accompanied by the prin-
cipal, Miss Mcdonnell, Col. Kelly and
Capt. White.

FIRE CAUSES $500 LOSS
IN DENTAL LABORATORY

A fire which started in the work room
of the Western Dental laboratory on
the top floor Of the Bryson block at
Second and Spring streets soon after )
o'clock yesterday afternoon, while of
only small proportions, did $500 worth
of damage before it was extinguished.
The blaze started from a gas jet
which was being used to heat a chemi-
cal compound. In some manner a slight
explosion occurred which scattered fire
all over the place. A telephone alarm
was sent to the fire department and a
chemical responded, the men easily
subduing the flames. The loss to the
dental company was chiefly to instru-
ments and materials.
An overflow of distillate from tank
in the basement of the three-story
house at 1887 Byron street caught fire
at o'clock last night from a lantern
and caused a loss of $40 before it was
extinguished. The house is occupied by
A. C. Ady and is owned by c. F. Lof-
gren.

SERIES OF THEFTS
CHARGED TO BOYS
Little Tots, Ten and Eleven Years Of
Age, Are Accused of Systematic
Thieving by the
Police

Two little boys, 10 and IL years old,
were arrested by the police yesterday
afternoon on Vignes street. They were
John Foster, age II years, and Willie
Ryan, age 10 years.
Willie has been arrested twice for be-
ing out after 8 o'clock and once for
stealing hors4 and buggy John also
has been arrested twice for breaking
the curfew ordinance.
When Willie told the desk sergeant
that he had once stolen a horse and
buggy everybody looked surprised, for
he is little mite, not over three feet
tall.
Eyes, sir, I did" he said. 1--WE drove
it around and when we got tired we left
it on the street. They did not do any
thing to me, though
The boys are charged this time with
having stolen sacks from the Eureka
bottling works in the Boyle Heights
district. The police say the youngsters
have been stealing sacks for over a
month, and selling them to junk deal
ers. One lot, it is said, brought them
$1.75, and they had a good time" with
the cash.
John Foster lives at 410 Ruth avenue
and Willie Ryan at III Howard street
They were sent to the detention home

RED0LENT COMEBACKS
ANNOY A PROSECUTOR

Restaurant Inspector Nicolas Schwe-
gel is after the restaurants again. He
keeps working all the time looking into
the manner in which the keepers run
their restaurants. Yesterday he filed
complaint in Justice Roses court
charging Joe Gazal with violating the
restaurant ordinance.
Schwegel had brought big can with
him as evidence. He took it into
Deputy City Prosecutor Fords Office.
When Ford came in he began to sniff.
Then he spied the can. Schwegel asked
for complaint. Ford said he would
give it to him If he would only take
the foul smelling affair away. Schwegel
did and got his complaint.
Schwegel says that the can which he
took to Ford's office is the can in which
Gazal keeps his ''stock" matter, from
which is made his fine soups and other
dishes. This can, Schwegel says, con-
tanned meat which was rotten and gave
off smells which Schwegel says ac-
counts for the statement on Gazal's
card that says, I'VE deliver meals
within four blocks without charge" 4"
SchwegeI says the long distance meals
could easily be made up of smells.
GazaFs restaurant is at 116 Com
mercial street Schwegel says that he
has warned Gazal repeatedly about the
way in which he kept his stock ket-
ties and yesterday became tired of
threatening and took legal action in the
matter.
The "evidence" will be kept in the
health department refrigerator until the
case is tried. Then it will be brought
forth for the court inspection. If 1t
smells as badly then as it did yester-
day there will probably be rapid va
cation of the court room.

FULLER SLATED IN
SCHENCK'S PLACE
Mayor Harper Probably Will Present
Name of Well Known Westerner
to City Council on Monday
for Police Commissioner

Last night but little doubt existed
that Charles H. Fuller would on Mon
day be named as police commissioner
by Mayor Harper
The uncertainty raised by the pres
sure brought to bear on the mayor by
Councilmen Healy and Clampitt tC
name John B. Zuchelli for the place has
vanished for two reasons-it is learned
that Zuchelli worked for Lindley for
mayor and because Councilman Lyon
has a standing promise that his word
will get the next commissionership or
something equally as good. If the
mayor were to appoint Zuchelli he
would offend Lyon and be doing an in
justice to his own views as to the right
man for the place made vacant by
Commissioner Sam Schenck retiring.
Councilmen, who have the power of
say they prefer Fuller as a
man known to be active in business and
widely known in the west

DOUBT SUCCESS OF
GOOD ROADS BONDS
Men Interested in the Movement Pro-
fess Fears That Recent Appoint
ments VIII Mean Defeat
of Movement

Members of the executive committee
of the Good Roads association of Los
Angeles county met at the chamber
of commerce yesterday afternoon to
discuss the movement. At the meeting
the claim was made that the good
roads movement is doomed unless the
supervisors will reconsider the appoint
ments recently made to the highway
commission.
I'VE discussed the matter this after
noon and also the best means to pur-
sue to have members of the board of
supervisors reconsider their action"
said S. A. Butler, president of the as
sociation. last night. "If they refuse,
all our hard work will have been for
nothing and the movement will be
doomed. The men appointed to the
highway commission are not the ones
for the place. The men recommended
by the different commercial bodies
should have been selected

NEGRO is SENTENCED
FOR ASSAULTING CHILD

When arraigned on a statutory
charge before Judge Smith in the su-
perior court yesterday Clifford Ben
nett, a negro, asked for two days time
in which to plead, which was granted
by the court.
Hardly had he been returned to the
detention room when the prisoner ex-
pressed desire to plead guilty, and
was once more taken before the judge.
"I want to plead guilty, your hon
or" was all he said.
"Well, WE'LL" said Judge Smith "a
wise man changes his mind, but a fool
never am glad you see this affair in
its true light"
Bennett waived the two days allowed
by law and asked for immediate SEN
tence, to which the court acquiesced,
sentencing the man to ten years in the
state penitentiary at Folsom.
The negro was accused of having as
saulted Laura Akers, a white girl Il
years of age, on June "a. He waylaid
the little girl near the Los Angeles
river bottom and before he could ac-
complish his purpose was detected.

FINES FATHER FOR
BEATING DAUGHTER
Judge Rose Decides Father Used Too
Great Severity in Chastising
Girl Because She Was
Saucy

William Reeder, charged by Deputy
Sheriff E. o. Sawyer, jr, with brutality
in beating his daughter. Pearl Reeder,
on the Fourth of July, was found
guilty of battery by Justice Rose yes
terday and fined $40.
The testimony of witnesses sum-
moned by Sawyer showed that Reeder
returned to his home at 617 South San
Julian on the afternoon of the Fourth
in an intoxicated condition and seized
his daughter, Pearl, by the hair. He
was also said to have hit her in the
eye and to have beaten her with a
chair.
Reeder told the court that he had
chastised his daughter because she had
answered him disrespectfully. He ad-
mitted that he might have been some-
what severe, but he thought he had
been within his rights as father.
The justice said that every parent
has right to punish his or her child
The only point to be decided was
whether or not Reeder had been un-
reasonably severe. The court thought
that he had ard so fined him $40.

This was the official song at the
Elks smoker held in the hall of the
local lodge on South Spring street last
night.
Three hundred merry Elks sat
around the tastily decorated tables and
sang it to the tune of Turkey in the
Straw" with great glee, repeating the
verse times without number and hang

MAN IS BADLY HURT
BY WASHINGTON CAR

John Campbell was taken to the Red
Cross hospital yesterday in an un-
conscious condition. as a result of a
collision between his dirt wagon and
an eastbound Washington street car
yesterday afternoon.
Campbell was run into by the car at
the intersection of Toberman and
Washington streets. Witnesses say
the car was travelling at high speed.
The force of the collision was so great
that Campbell was thrown from his
wagon and his skull fractured.
At late hour last night he was
still in a serious condition at the hos
pital.
