CITY ENGINEER THINKS HE
is THE AGGRIEvED ONE

City Engineer Homer Hamlin feels a
bit aggrieved over the action of M. l..
Wicks and others in their communication
with reference to delay in getting the
official grades of certain streets in North
Elysian Heights tracts, viz, Maroon ave-
nue., Echo Park avenue, Vestal avenue
and Oympian avenue.
Yesterday the board of public works
reported to the council that Wicks' petit
ton was referred to the city engineer s
office with request that he advise the
board as to the status of the proceedings
for the streets mentioned.
The engineer reports that he did not
receive any Improvement orders for these
streets until May II, and that the neces-
sary field work has been entirely COM
pleted and the Office work about half
completed, and that within a month the
work will be entirely finished
Upon this showing it is considered that
the work is progressing very rapidly.

OFEWELRY
NEGRO THIEF, GREEN, ONE OF
cLEvEREsT
HoUsEFUL OF STOLEN LOOT,
WORTH $4,000
Eighteen Watches, Fifty Rings, Pins
and Chains by Score and Em-
bIems in Piles Discov-
cred by Police

Charles Green, the negro arrested Fri
day night by Patrolman Stevens on sus-
picion, has turned out to be one of the
cleverest and most daring of thieves that
have ever operated in the west. In his
home on Santee street, between Tenth
and Eleventh streets, detectives have
found jewelry and other stolen goods ag-
gregating in value probably more than
$4,000.
Eighteen gold watches, fifty gold rings
with every imaginable mounting, gold
nugget pins by the dozen, twenty odd gold
watch chains, twelve pairs of earrings
with valuable stone mountings, three
Colts revolvers, eighteen razors two
dozen or more Masonic and other en-
blems, are few of the things that were
found.
Already some of the stolen jewelry has
been identified by owners from whom it
was stolen Four charges are lodged
against Green
From II. e. Goetze's home, 2935 Michi-
gan avenue, were taken a ladies' alligator
hand bag, several rings, a breast-pin and
other articles with bunch of keys with
which the thief gained entrance to the
places where the jewelry was kept.
Among the stolen goods is a watch and
several other articles of jewelry, identi-
fed by Mrs. Dominguez as stolen from
her home at GAL Santa Fe street. Other
articles have been identified by Angelo
Zeorina, of 526 Vignes street.
]. L. Griffin, Of 1S41 Sacramento street,
has also identified some of the valuables.
The articles claimed are few compared
with what are left unclaimed. Since the
arrest of John Lewis and Charles Green
no more cases of burglary have been re-
ported to the police and detectives, and
the latter believe that in these two men
they have the burglars who have been
troubling them for the last few months.
Green is a cook on the Salt Lake rail-
way on the run between Los Angeles and
Salt Lake City. 1t is more than likely
that before the week is over more of the
stolen jewelry will be identified and the
charges against him several times null

BAR SAND MACHINE
FROM RIVER BANK
REPUBLICANS THINK THAT THEY
SCENT A SCHEME
Use Hoists, Notwithstanding
Plea That 1t VIII Be
Mercy to Teams

Again yesterday the effort to put sane
separators along the Los Angeles rivel
| bank failed in the city. council. The sam
attempt failed in the late council also
Healy objected and afterward Clampit
Joined, which double negative defeated
any legislation with only six council
men present.
c. j. Walters wanted the permit and
he found three councilmen at least will
ing to aid him on the ground that 1t
was a kindness to the poor horses en-
gagged in sand hauling to grant the privi-
lege.
Pity the Horses
Councilmen Lyon, Dromgold and Wren
took the trouble the other day to walk
to the Los Angeles river banks and note
the extreme hardship which sand haul
ing imposes on teams, and they made
up their minds that machine hoists and
screens were the proper thing Tor humane
reasons at least.
Walters, it is understood, simply wants
to run a bucket elevator on the banks
and sell screened sand to such wagon
owners as prefer to get the material
without long haul and tedious fill
ing by shovel
Councilman Dromgold objected to the
word permit in the ordinance as pre-.
sented by City Attorney Hewitt and it
was CTdHBSu 10 pliNHeSS.
The council reserves the right to revoke
this privilege at any time.
Councilman Yonkin remarked that he
saw no possible objections, as the team
owners had the right now to take away
all the sand they could haul as long as
they did not get too near the bridge
supports.
Under Board Jurisdiction
The proposed ordinance provides that
the board of public works must approve
the plans.
Councilman Healy wanted the owner TO
pay 500 month for the grant, but Coun-
cimlan Dromgold and others thought $40
was enough, though the council may
raise this later.
The Eighth ward member called atten-
ton that many others who had tried to
get this privilege in the last council
had been turned down. He feared that
the whole river bank would be lined
with sand separators soon.
80 much the better" said some coun-
cilmen 1T will save the horses and as
long as the city is not injured there is
no harm. We can stop it if any harm is

Paul de Longpre and wife returned to

visit to Catalina island, perfectly enam-

beauties of that ideal place. Last Friday
two of the musical pieces of the painter
composer, the Bedouins' March and the
Tic Tao of the Mill, were on the program,
and a very large audience filled the i'm
mense new amphitheater that evening.
These two compositions were gener-
ouslv applauded. SO much that the artist
had to rise and bow and bow again to
the great audience, which would not let
up with their applause till he had said
few words in which he gave all the credit
to Bandmaster Kammernieyer and his
artists; another storm of applause and
then his compositions had to be played all
over again. This week Kammermeyer will
give for the first time Salute to the
United States" and Victory Song" (old

ARROYO SECO'S BED MUST
REMAIN Underlined AWHILE
PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD HAVE
TO FOOT THE BILLS
Petitioners Who Ask City to Act Fail
to Get Cooperation Of Owners
of Wash Lands, Hence
Hands Are Tied

For time at least efforts to define the
bed of the Arroyo Seco, between the Los
Angeles river and the Santa Fe railway
bridge, must be held in allegiance.
On petition c. Van Order and others
asked that the bed of the Arroyo Seco
be officially defined.
The entire Arroyo Seco wash, from the
Los Angeles river northeasterly to Pasa-
dena avenue, it appears, is owned by prl-
vate parties who do not join in the petit
tion
Before the channel could be officially
defined it will be necessary for the own
ers to convey the same to the city, either
by deed or by condemnation; hence the
board of public works recommended that
the petition be filed until the written con-
sent of all the owners of property upon
the present and proposed channel is OBJ
taIned, Or until the interested property
owners agree to be assessed the expense
in securing the necessary lands as well
as the cost of rip-rapping and bulkheadlng
or otherwise protecting the banks.
