POLICE ARE FORCED
RELEASE A YEGGMAN
Man Held Several Days on Suspicion
Is Given His Liberty and
Told to Leave Los
Angeles

A man who is thought by the police TO
be one of the most noted yeggmen in the
country has been released from the city
jail, and the city of Los Angeles has been
rid of man on whom suspicion has
rested since his arrival in the city some
weeks ago.
The alleged yeggman is w. r. Parker
and he was released yesterday from the
city jail after being held almost a week
on suspicion. Parker was caught trying
TO dispose of "phony" jewelry, but the
only evidence the police. could find on his
person was the setting of a brooch which
had ut one time contained fourteen gems,
presumably diamonds.
Parker admitted his work was. that of
disposing of fake" jewelry, but in such
a way that he made his business seem
legitimate. The mans familiarity with
the jargon used by yeggmen is startling
and proved to the detectives of Captain
Hammers office that he is an old hand
on the road and in the work of gaining
livelihood in any way except through
labor. The conversation of Parker is IL
most unintelligible to a person unfamil-
lar with the expressions Of professional
yeggman.
Parker was told by the police to not
only leave the station but the city.

ing Alleged Debt on Public
Work Calls Attention
to Regulations

The city's legal department has rem
dered another opinion for the city council
which again calls attention to the strict
ness of the statutes requiring contractors
wages, materials, etc, promptly.
Chris and Steve Danasovich are petit
toners In a case and they filed petitions
under the act of March 27, 1897, being IAN
act to secure the payment of the claims
of material, men, mechanics or laborers
employed by contractors upon state, mu
nicipal or other public work"
The act provides in substance that every
contractor awarded a contract for the ex-
ecution Of certain public work therein
mentioned shall give bond to secure the
claims mentioned and that in case the
contractor fails to pay any such person
for any work done under such contract
the person claiming pay may within
thirty days from the time of the compile
ton of the work file with the city coun-
ell or other body by whom the contract
was awarded a verified statement of his
claim together with aGstatement that the
same has not been paid
AT any time within ninety days after
the filing of such claim the person filing
the claim may commence an action
against the sureties on the contractor s
bond.
Hence the Danasovich petitions have
been filed without any action being taken
by the city council the petitioners hav-
ing their rights under the statutes.

to whom he had been speaking vigor-
ously kept UP the search through his
pockets.

seated near the boy, and who gazed smll-
ingly into his frightened face. place
them here in my lap while you hunt for
your money"
Following her request the little fell
low began emptying his pockets into the
young woman's lap. First there tumblod
forth a ball of string, followed a second
later by ball of fish cord, top, three
broken pen knives, couple of pieces of
lead pencil, slate pencil, a glass marble,
two exploded cartridges, a piece of red
glass, some chalk, three nails, some raj
sins and a miscellaneous lot of junk
which could not be classified.
Guess I'll find 1t, If 1 keep on" said
the little fellow as he continued the
search, while the young woman gazed
in astonishment at the articles her lap
contained, but despite all the lads eff

asked a kind faced elderly woman who
sat across the aisle and who had been
an interested witness of the proceedings.
Mamma told me to go to the doctor and
get my arm Set" replied the little fell
low. IT fell off the shed while putting
up clothes line for her week ago
and broke my arm. She took me to the
doctor and he fixed it, but now I have TO
go and get it fixed again. Mamma went
with me before, but thought I could go
alone this time and she was busy"
Story Arouses Sympathy
"Well, I'll pay your farce" said the
woman as she handed the conductor a
half dollar, and when the man handed
back the change she motioned him to give
1t to the boy. Let the little fellow have
it." she said HE deserves it,
Other passengers on the car then came
forward and the lad was questioned
about the accident and how 1t happened
He told his questioners his name was
frankie and that he lived In Boyle
Heights. He explained that money was
not as plentiful at home at present as it
had been in times past, and for that
reason he was not visiting the physician
as often as he should. He told how his
mother had given him ten cents for
street car fare that day, but that the
family would not have meat for supper
as result, as 10 cents was all there
was in the house at the time.
AS his listeners heard his story they
turned and brushed away tears, until
an elderly man thrust his hand into his
pocket and pulled 1t forth filled with
change.
Here my lad" he said, put this in
your pocket and then you'll have plenty
of car fare next time" His example was
quickly followed by others, and when the
boy left the car at First and Spring
streets his pockets contained not only
chalk and marbles but money.

TELLS STEPS NECESSARY
TO FORM NEW COUNTY
Deputy District Attorney Renders De-
cision of Great Importance to
the Members of Pomona
Secession Forces

An important decision was rendered
yesterday by Deputy District Attorney
Hartley Shaw on the proposition of
Pomona to form new county.
The decision was drawn up in
lengthy documentary form and ad-
dressed to DR.. R. p. Shepherd, manager
of the campaign fund and head of the
secession forces. The decision decides
the status of voters who are competent
to express an opinion on the question
of separation and the portion of the
registered voters required to make the
action valid.
Sixty-fve per cent of the voters in
the district desiring separation must
express themselves favorably to the
plan. Any group of persons near the
boundary of the proposed county can
have themselves excluded from the
county by a SIS per cent adverse vote.
"A peculiar legal proposition presents
itself in this connection. According
to the law a single individual, being
the only resident of given district
near the boundary of the proposed
county, can have himself excluded from
the new political division. The re-
mainder of the inhabitants of the
county have nothing to say in regard
to the action of given group who de-
sire to establish themselves into a
separate county.
The decision centers around three
main propositions and Attorney Shaw
has taken them UP in order and dis
posed OF them as follows:
Observation-Disclosures of the opposf-
tion will have no weight unless filed
with the board of supervisors as the
petition must first be filed with the
board before the boundaries of the
proposed county can be definitely as
certained.
Secondary one desiring to with
draw his support from the opposition
may do so by signing the petition for
separation. which is the only docu-
ment considered by the board of super
visors.
Third-Petitioner must be regular
electors of the district comprised in the
new county at the time of the signing
of the petition and their names must
at that time appear on the great regis
ter Of the county.

REAL ESTATE MAN HAS
WILD DREAMS IN NIGHT

The dreams of Arthur e. Golden, real
estate man, living at No. Temple court,
were troubled Wednesday night by hor-
rible nightmares.
In fancy he saw panorama of phan-
tasmagoric and impossible creatures pass
before his eyes, some of them so near
that their fiery breath and glittering eyes
burned into his very soul. Naturally Mr.
Golden fought off the demons surround
ing him and in his valiant efforts fell
from a couch on which he had thrown
himself late at night, exhausted with The
days work.
When the man was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital DIR. Tanner found mis-
mouth badly injured and some of his
teeth loosened. He was attended to and
sent home.

FIND LEGAL FLAW
IN BRIDGE SCHEME
OPPONENTS OF ELYSIAN SPAN
ARE ACTIVE
Argue That Pease as Councilman and
as Acting Mayor Had No Right
to Vote on and Sign
Measure

With Niles Pease as councilman voting
nation and Niles Pease as acting mayor
signing the measure, opponents of the
bridge at Buena Vista street believe they
have the scheme tied up.
Some of them made the discovery yes
terday and forthwith proceeded to organ
ize a movement to delay the new steel
highway, saying that the steps were ir-
regular.
Councilman r. M. Dromgold, as presi-
dent of the improvement association has
worked long and earnestly for this bridge
to merge and facilitate all of the traffic
out the Pasadena and northern highways
and he had congratulated himself on hav-
ing pushed the legislation as far as the
condemnation stage anyway
Now new obstacles threaten to arise.
The city's legal department had pre-
pared the necessary preliminary proceed
ings to acquire the needed land for ap-
proaches from the railroads and private
holders.
Some buildings will have to be torr
down to make room for the approaches
but most of the, land must be obtained
from the steam railroad owners.
Funds for the bridge will be found in
the next fiscal year and in the meantime
work will bo ahead on other bridges un.
der the agreement formed among the
councilmen themselves.
When steps are well under way for the
Elysian bridge Councilman e. A. Clam.
pitt will urge action on the plan to wider
Buena Vista street for which purpose
the Southern Pacific has agreed to give
e slice of it's yards lands.
A legal opinion has been asked from
City Attorney Leslie R. Hewitt relative
to Mr.. Pease's dual connection with the
condemnation proceedings.
