SCHEME OF ANNEX
STRIKES A SNAG
HEALY STIRS UP
OPPOSITION
Thinks Municipality Should Plan Five
Million Dollar Building on Main
Street and Enlarge Present
Hall at Small Expense

When the city council meets Monday
the most important question inviting de-
bate is that involving an appropriation
for an annex to the city hall.
Though a majority of the councilmen
seem to favor the temporary structure
as the best way to get around the con-
gestion the opposition, led by Council
man Bernard Healy, may make a hard
fight against spending $4,000 for such
a purpose.
At present many departments are
housed in outside office buildings Tor
which high rentals are paid. The highest
rent is for the public library, which pays
S12,500 a year.
Those favoring the annex scheme say
that all departments except the library
can be accommodated in the annex Tor
the next three years at least, thus doing
away with the cost of rentals and group
ing all officials and employees, which is
a great saving to taxpayers.
The opposition holds that this $4,000
will be practically wasted, as there will
be but little salvage when time comes
to wreck the temporary building.
"Build on Main Street"
'I think We had better get right to
work and build a new city hall some
where on Main street." said Councilman
f1ealy yesterday.
"I favor giving the council power to
secretly get options so that we can op-
crate unhampered.
1--WE can build part of the city hall
first and eventually get a $5000,000 struc-
ture-the kind Los Angeles should have
when it has a million population. We
can house the library there, too.
I'VE can run a false glass front from
floor to roof in front of our present city
hall, beginning on the loggia over the
entrance and make plenty of extra space
till we get part of the other building
erected. Steel and glass are cheap for
such work, for they can be resold at a
high price.
Add Extra Glass Story
Put a light steel and glass story on
the roof also, if necessary, where officers
who do not need safes and heavy fur
niture can be put temporarily.
''Then let's sell this old city hall and
get the money for the new building"
Building Superintendent ]. ]. Backus
has a plan in mind for a plain brick
structure without partitions, three stories
high to be erected on the vacant ground
adjoining the present city hall.
1t will have connecting bridges from
the old city hall so that no elevators
will be necessary.
The front will be somewhat ornamental
to conform with the surroundings, but
the rest of the building will be simply
lofts, in a warehouse, with plenty
of windows.

The Californians will close their sea-
son at Venice with robin Hood to-
night. A week from Monday they open in
Santa Cruz for a month, when a full
repertoire will be put on and several
new operas will be tried out in anticipa-
tlon of the fall season. They may stop In
Santa Barbara en- route, but this is not
settled. The company will remain intact
for the seaside season.
Early in September, when Santa Cruz
bids the organization good by, 1t may
come back to the Auditorium here, as
dates for il will then be open. But 1t is
more likely that 1t will start on the

TO OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE
Institution Receives Deed to Pomona
Business Block Which Brings
In an Income of $500
Annually

deed to the property at the corner OF
Gary and Second streets, Pomona, valued
at $25,OO0. This property is considered
among the choicest of Pomona's business
blocks The income from 1t is $500 an
nually.
Mrs. Jane Rutan of Pomona, who died
about a year ago, decided the property to
John A Gallup and advised him to turn
1t over to Occidental college at his own
discretion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gallup decided that Oc-
cidental college could make good use Of
the income now, so the transfer has
been made.
Mrs. Rutan had previously made two
large gifts to Occidental and with this
last gift the college has received over
$4,000 from her.
AS a result of conference with Mr..
Gallup President Baer will in all prob
ability ask the trustees to endow one
of the chairs of Occidental in honor of
Mrs. Jane Rutan.

]. H. Gerling was sentenced to pay a
fine of s75 or spend thirty-seven days in
Jail by Justice Rose yesterday on a
charge of practicing optometry without

Gerling's sentence was suspended dur
ing good behavior. About two months
ago Gerling was arraigned on a similar
charge and was sentenced to one hundred
days in Jail. This sentence was also sus-
pended.
Gerling is an old man who lives by

Justice Court

Holding that the evidence introduced was
not strong enough to hold DIR. c. V. p.
Watson on a charge of murder, Justice II. A.
Pierce yesterday ordered the discharge of the
physician.
The charge against Watson was preferred
by the district attorney on account of the
death of Florence Grover about six weeks ago.
Watson was said to have performed a criminal
operation on the girl. Miss Grover is said to
have made q dying statement in which she
charged the physician with performing the
operation.
Efforts were made by the district attorney
to have this alleged statement of the girls
admitted, but Justice Pierce held that 1t was
not proper evidence she had stated con-
clusion to the cause of her death instead
of stating exactly what had been done.

DOG CATCHERS ESCAPE
CONVICTION OF BATTERY
CHARGED WITH USING UNDUE
VIOLENCE
Accuser Enjoying Cooling Breezes of
Lake Tahoe and Fails to
Appear When Case
Is Called

On the 21st of June Mrs. H. S. Eberle
raised small tempest of excitement In
the city prosecutors office because she
alleged the dog catcher's men had COM
mitted battery upon her.
Yesterday, after many delays to suit
the pleasure of Mrs. Eberle, the case
was dismissed by Justice Rose for the
lack of prosecution.
Mrs. Eberle told the prosecutor last
June that the dog catchers, Harry Dye
and Roy Severance, had taken her dog
away from her and had used "force and
violence" upon her.
When she first went into the office
she wanted highway robbery COM
plant but was later pacified with bat
terry charge.
The dog catchers were duly arrested
and date for trial set. Mrs. Eberle went
to Lake Tahoe to enjoy the summer
breezes in that delightful place. She is
said to have taken with her the -four
inch poodle" which caused the trouble.
When the case came for trial the first
time Justice Rose set it over.
Case Is Dismissed
The second date arrived, but no COM
planning witness appeared. 1t was an
nounced that Isadore Dockweiler would
prosecute the case. 1t looked as If the
best legal lights in Los Angeles would
clash over the dog catchers and the dog.
Yesterday all dreams of legal battles
vanished when the dog catchers present
ed themselves In lonely coutr room and
no prosecuting witness appeared. Judge
Rose had told the prosecution that he
would dismiss the case If it was not
tried yesterday.
He did so. The dog catchers now COM
plain because they were so long denied
the use of the money which they were
compelled to leave on deposit as BAIL

AS to his intentions Of remaining

Mr.. MCGOWAN has nice home in

FEAR IN BATTLE.
Frederick the Great Ran Away, and
Grant Was Afraid

Grant Was Afraid.
Some of the greatest soldiers whose
names adorn history's pages entered
their first battles with feeling Of fear
in their hearts.
Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at the battle of Molwitz. Had
he not been king it is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat of the car
mage he got an idea that the army I'M
der his command was being over
whelmed, so he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
he stopped in his wild flight. Late at
night he was discovered hiding in an
old mill. awaiting, as he thought, cap
ture by the enemy. Then he discover
ed that the army he deserted had won
the battle.
AS Frederick was prince, every
body tried to forget the incident just
as quickly as possible. And after that
when the king went to war he was
just as brave as any other soldier.
General Grant in his memoirs tells
us that. despite the fact that he was
not new to the ways of war, he had a
strange fear in his heart when as COM
mander of the Union forces he found
himself on the eve of his first battle
of the civil war. He adds, however,
that he came to find that 'sthe other
fellow" had similar feeling.
In American history there is no more
reckless warrior than the dashing Light
Horse Harry Lee. 1t seems strange,
therefore, to find that at the outset of
the Continental struggle Washington
had to reprove him for his prudence
in battle. Lee, though, up and told
Washington that he was just as brave
as the general in chief. and he made
good his word.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
