SUES CITY FATHERS
FOR COST OF BOND
TAX COLLECTOR JOHNSON FILES
COMPLAINT
Officials May Be Compelled to Close
the City Hall and Attend
Court to Defend
Action

Mayor Harper, the members Of the city
council and other city officials are made
defendants in a friendly suit filed In tho
superior court yesterday by Tax and LII
cense Collector q. q. johnson in which
he charges the council with not having
paid the cost of his bond.
The bond in question is for 100000. the
amount required of the city tax collector.
Tax Collector johnson claims he secured
the bond from the Metropolitan Surety
company according to requirements, and
that the bnd was duly passed upon and
accepted by the city council.
The question Mr.. Johnson wishes de-
cided is who shall pay the company for
the bond
The company charges one-half OF 1 per
cent for the risk taken, and the amount
due January z, 1907, was $500.
A bill for that amount was presented to
the council for consideration at that time.
1t was filed with the finance committee,
but was returned by that committee to
the council without any official action.
After remaining in the council for some
time the bill was returned to the bond
company.
AS soon as the company found 1t could
not get satisfaction for the amount from
the council it presented the bill to Mr..
Johnson and has been urging him to paw
It, The persistent efforts of the company
to collect the amount finally led to the
complaint filed in the superior court yes
terday
II the action comes to trial in the
superior court after the holidays the
leading officials of the city hall will be
compelled to adjourn business and go IN
body to the court house to answer the
charges made in the suit.
The plaintiff asks that en- alternative
writ of mandate be filed to compel the
defendants to pay or show cause why
they should not do so.
Some surprise was manifested at the
city hall at the filing of the suit, because
of the legal holidays now prevailing.
Some months ago Collector johnson
and Treasurer Hance made an effort to
have the premiums in connection with
their bonds paid by the city rather than
have the fees deducted from their sal
aries, on the theory that the city was
being safeguarded and was the bene-
ficiary, and besides the fees were so
high in proportion to their salary income
that it would prove a severe DRAIN
The present case is regarded as test
to get at the legality of the charge.
In the new charter it is believed more
liberal steps will be taken toward FUR
nisning bond premiums and car fare to
all employees while doing city duty.

CITY EMPLOYEES ARE
TROLLEY PATRONS
CAR FARE ACCOUNTS RUN HIGH;
TAXPAYERS PAY PART
Engineers Department Alone Spends
$500 Monthly for Fares, but Much
of the Outlay Comes Back
Eventually

In connection with the proposed reg
ulating of all car fare expense accounts
the city council has called on the heads
of all departments to furnish estimates
of car fare expenses in order to find out
how big an item transportation inside
the city limits amounts to.
One of the departments whose en-
ployes do much getting around is the city
engineers.
From figures just submitted it appears
that October car fare aggregated $296.15.
about 75 per cent of which is charged
against the different street improvements
and is eventually returned to the de-
partment as incidental expenses in con-
nection with the improvement.
1t has always been the custom of this
department to allow car fare to it's en-
ployes while in the regular discharge OF
their duties. The surveyors average
each about SIS q month for car fare,
which is due to the fact that they pay
car fare for all of the men in their party,
usually four.
There is no amount allowed any par
ticular employe for car fare. The charges
are made from day to day in such sums
as it may be necessary for the men to
spend in the discharge of their regular
duties and the record of such expendi-
ture for October fairly represents the
average month.
In the surveyors list w. C. Noble
leads with $24, while those ranging be-
tween $11 and SIG are I. E. Rank. ]. E.
Holt, ]. w. Melville, c. w. Miller, e. l..
Jessup, F. S. Mcpherson, H. Y. Gibson,
J. j. Godsworthy, c. M. Heron, M.
Hesselberger, ]. @. Lindsay, q. ]. Davis.
E. G. Hamilton, r. A. Hamilton, and
w. e. Sheppard. All are surveyors.
The three highest among the assistant
engineers are J. e. Johnson, So; j. G
Clausen, $3.50, and w. d. Smith, $7.75.

Perjury May Be in
Hot Water

Several new features were added yes
terday to the aftermath prosecutions fol-
lowing the famous Arnaz divorce case,
and it appears probable the incidents OF
that trial, which occupied the attention
of the courts for four months, will be
Brought up and reviewed again, and viii
this time involve nearly all parties con-
nected with the defendant, James Arnaz,
Deputy District Attorney Fredericks
would not make a positive statement
concerning the case yesterday, but 1t was
understood from his remarks that he is
after the men higher up in the case,
ana is likely to bring action against the
attorneys who acted in the divorce suit
for the defendant
Leo Monreal, charged with perjury in
his testimony given on behalf of James
Arnaz during the divorce trial, was con-
victed of the charge and sentenced to
ten years. Yesterday the decision of the
court below was sustained by the court
of appeals to which the case of Mon-
real had been taken, and Monreal Will
now have to serve the sentence impos sd
on him by Judge b. N. Smith.
Ybarra to Be Tried
]. M. Ybarra, the man who was ar
rested a few days ago after prolonged
search lasting nearly nine months. will be
the next to come up for trial on the
charge of perjury. Upon information re-
ceived from Ybarra, who is said to have
confessed all, Oscar Chavez, the San Ber-
nardino baseball man, was arrested and
brought to Los Angeles.
He was arraigned on charge of su-
formation of perjury before Justice IL.
A. Pierce Wednesday and released on
q ball of $4,000. 1t is claimed that he Ia
the man who secured the service of
Ybarra and Monreal to give the false ces-
timony. Whether Chavez will lay the
blame on some one else and claim that
he was acting under orders from others
is the question that is now pending
solution.
Chevez has been in consultation with
the district attorney. The two lawyers
who were interested in the Arnaz case
are alleged to have been refused per-
mission to enter the prison and talk with
Arnaz while he was being held pending
bail. Not only the names of these at
torneys but that of James Arnaz are
mentioned as being subjects of possible
complaints in connection with testimony
given in the Arnaz trial

FARMERS LEAVING STATE.
West Virginia Crop Failures En-
courage Emigration.

Climatic conditions prevailing in Cen
trail West Virginia throughout the sum
mer have resulted in a state of affairs
bordering on calamity because of the
effect the unusual and unnatural wealth
er has had upon crops.
Figuratively speaking, there are no
crops and with winter coming on the
farmers of Randolph, Barbour, Poca-
hontas, Greenbrier, Webster and many
other counties are confronted with the
problem of living through the season
with nothing laid by, either in provis-
ions or money. So disastrous has been
the failure Of crops through incessant
rains and floods that millions of dollars
have been lost in this State in crops
alone during the summer of 1907, the
worst experienced in years.
So disheartening have the crop fail
ures proved, lasting through two sum
mers, that farmers from the mountain
districts are emigrating to New Mexico,
Arizona and Indian Territory, and the
encouraging reports from that section
of the country are robbing the State
of even more of its population. Agents
of Western railroads touring the State
at this time have also been instrument
al in their missionary work in inducing

and vitality pulled him through however
