SANTA MONICA, April 6.-Dramat-
ically declaring that there is a great
unwritten law that gives every man
his rights" a juror today tried to JUS
tify to Recorder Guidinger his action in
favoring the acquittal of D. Andrinni,
charged with having violated the or
dinance regulating the amount of live
stock that may be maintained on one
lot within the city limits, whose case
resulted in a hung jury, although the
evidence showed concl lsively that the
defendant was guilty of the .arge pre-
ferred against him.
The recorder presented the recalci-
trant juryrlen with some pointed in
formation as to what constituted their
little parts in the case at issue and
demanded that a verdict be rendered
in accordance With the weighing of the
evidence. The jurymen pondered deep
ly over the matter which had to do
with Andrinni's having maintained
fourteen chickens on his lot, when the
law limits e number to thirteen, and
finally passed in a verdict of guilty.
Andrinni was fined $40.

The animal was left standing in the

himself around the block. The notion
was followed by action and the horse,
galloping west on Colorado, headed
straight for the cigar store in the Sun

on demolishing it. There were several
women in the path of the animal and
one became paralyzed with fear and
was unable to move to a point of safety.

were sent to two defeated candidates
in the recent mayoralty election this
morning. Both were similar with the eX-

ter follows:
ITO the Hon. William Waterhouse,
mayor of the city of Pasadena; We,
members of the executive board of the
Waterhouse campaign committee, fully
believing that in the recent election you
received the highest number of legal
votes cast fol the office of mayor OF
this city and that you were elected to
such Office, earnestly request you to
take such proceedings as may be neces-
sary to have d recount. We deem that
this is duty that you owe to the en-
tire city, to the end that the vote may
be properly and impartially determined
and the will of the people carried out.

A feature OF the contest of the cleo
ton, which will approach with giant
strides since petitions were signed yes
terday, ready for filing on the canvass
of votes Monday by the city council, is
the discovery that should the contest
be brought on there will be a necessity
of throwing out all the votes of pre-
cincts Is and 16, both of which, it Is
alleged, were illegally created by ordi-
nance. Throwing out these precincts
would lose Waterhouse and Root seven
ty-two and seventy-nine votes re-
spectively. This would mean that the
ticket as it now stands would carry
through the contest.

NEW YORK, April 6.-The annual
dinner of the "Grillers" club was held
by a number of prominent New York
state persons, including former Gov
ernor Odell, D. Cady Herrick and 9TH
ers. There were many quips and jokes
and humorous songs.
Mr.. Odell, in the course of his speech,
said:
Some men who have become fa-
nous encircle themselves within the
boundaries of their own egotism.
Give to me the simple man in pref
erence to him whose constant banker
ing for power has distorted his imagi-
nation and led him to the belief that
his honesty is the only simon pure
article and that all other members of
society are cheats, frauds and liars.
at takes something more than the
power to inflict personal or political
chastisement, to climb hills and to
shoot, to make brave man.
THE bravest man is he who can dis
Germ his own faults and make both con-
fession and reparation for them. Dig
nifty is the characteristic of gentle
man. Responsibility should bring with
1t respect for judgment, but when there
is a sacrafice of both dignity and re-
sponsibility through utterances that are
with either, or both, that
man is not a great man who thus in
dulges, no matter If the ignorant ap-
plaud him for these utterances.
THAT paternalism in government
which seeks to take away from the
individual the power of initiative and
which aims to safeguard
him In the same matter in which we
protect the infant, not only fails in it's
but it is a positive injury to
the community.
TT is much better for us to disagree
with the great and the intelligent, to
be tenacious of our rights, than to be
like dumb driven cattle, acquiescent
because it is easier to be followers than
leaders; followers of those who, like
are but human and liable to
error"
