CITY WILL SUE SURETIES
ON OUTFALL SEWER BOND
Board of Public Works Recommends
That City Attorney Force Bond
ing Company to Make Good
: Losses Sustained

The long-deferred question of forcing
the sureties for Stansbury & Powell to
reimburse the city for its losses sustained
in completing the outfall sewer after the
contractors had surrendered the contract
was scheduled yesterday.
The board of public works ha6 pre-
sented to the city council a report made
to the board December 20 by the city en-
gineer, showing that the cost of complet-
ing the new outfall sewer (not including
brick and cemenD exceeds the contract
price OF $565OOO by more than the amount
of the bond given by the contractors
to secure the faithful performance of the
contract, the amount of this bond being
$141, ,250.
The board recommend that the council
direct the city attorney to institute pro-
ceedings to collect the amount of the
bond from the contractors who should
have completed the new outfall sewer.
Because of the accumulation Of busi-
ness, action will not be taken till the next
meeting of the city council.

PERSECUTION is CRY
FRIENDS Of Mexican Declare Pretended
Escape" viii Result In Execution
When Accused Reaches
Arizona

Although United States District Attor-
ney Oscar Lawler was unable to show
cause why Gutierrez de Lara, the al
legged Mexican revoultionist, should not
be liberated from the county jail, United
States District Judge Olin Wellborn yes
terday continued the case for one week.
Attorney Job Hartman for the de-
Tense declared yesterday that De Lara
had been held in the Los Angeles county
Jail ninety days without trial and
that the prosecution had sunk to perse-
cution In trumping up charge aIler
charge against the prisoner.
De Lara was first accused of robbery
and held over the forty days specified in
the treaty. Then Lawler made charge
of larceny on which De Lara was held
forty-seven days longer. Now Lawler
says that he will bring another charge
against De Lara.
Magon, Villarial and Rivera have been
sent to- Tucson by United States Com
missioner Van Dyke. When they arrive
in, Arizona these men will be prosecuted
by United States District Attorney Alex
ander.
1t Is almost certain that the defendants
will get even shorter shrift in Arizona
than they did here. and their Mexican
friends in Los Angeles are loud in their
assertions that the Mexican government
will shoot or hang them as soon as they
get them near enough to the border to
pull off pretended escape"

SALOON ROBBER TO
SERVE IS YEARS
GEORGE WHITE, ADMITTING HIS
GUILT, is SENTENCED
"couId Get Nothing to Eat" RE Tells
the Observation-Disclosures" Is
Reply Of Judge
Smith

Judge B. N. Smith yesterday delivered
q homily on the workings of the human
mind In reply TO dramatic statement
by George White, the man who on NO
vemper l6 held up and robbed the not
Rivet saloon. The courts discourse con-
cluded with sarcastic reference 10 the
size and apparent strength OF the de-
fendant ana his contention that he was
forced by circumstances to commit
crime, and ended with sentence of
hfteen years Imprisonment in san Quen-
tin.
White said he had no counsel to de-
fend him and pleaded guilty. On his
request he was allowed to make a state
ment, and with head thrown back and
flushed face he acknowledged his guilt.
bur declared his crime was the result
of his conoition and association with an
evil companion.
II know l have infringed the law"
said White, but at heart l am not a
thief circumstances compelled me to do
this; / was down and out 1t was in
Portland that / met the fellow who was
with me when we robbed that place,
and 1 did him a good turn there. Then
we met again in Los Angeles. l was
hungry and could not lind work. He
broachea the subject of robbery and had
two places selected. We robbed the
saloon anu diu tue Iuhu WIZ ueiu thS
revolver"
'Tne human family is so diverse and
there are SO many different kinds OF
people In the world" said the court,
that 1t is impossible for one man to tell
what another man Is thinking about,
and when you come to the human mind
and heart you are confronted by mys-
| tery. Judging your statement from a
rational standpoint, it Is fallacy and
you i've no foundation on which to
stand. The idea that a great big man
like you could not get anything to eat
is ridiculous"
The court said the fact that White had
done something for the state by telling
all he knew of the robbery and giving
description of his partner on that &C.
casiop would be considered and would
tell in favor of the prisoner. This was
followed by the sentence.
White, on the night of November 16,
accompanied by man who Is still at
large, held up the Hot Rivet saloon,
securing $100, was captured in Yuma,
Ariz., month ago and when brought
to Los Angeles made full confession
to the police The man Is well educated
and said to be we'll connected, although
he refused to tell the officers anything
of his past history.

as above suggested, is so small as to
permit of important wharf frontage
being developed by private dredging
by very moderately capitalized pri-
yate enterprises in the event that the
government should delay in the mat
ter of doing the dredging at public
expense.
We are also reliably informed that
important business and commercial
interests such as lumber yards, man
ufacturing enterprises, ETC., have been
seeking locations upon the proposed
west basin in anticipation of its being
opened to commerce. The land align
ing this basin is owned by parties
of considerable means, and they or
their lessees could and probably would
undertake by the expenditure of their
own means the dredging of the chan
nels suillcient to accommodate con-
siderable commerce, should there be
any delay in obtaining the necessary
governmental appropriations for pros
ecuting the dredging at once.
Affects tire Strip
In addition to the foregoing an inn
portant consideration attached to the
west basin Is that the only water
frontage which the present corporate
limits of the city of Los Angeles can
reach will have to be developed In
the west basin contiguous to that
norton of the city known as and IN
cluded in the lower end of what is
known as the strip" extending from
the city Of Los Angeles to the, city
of San Pedro.
Upon Investigation the harbor COM
mission finds that the applications to
compel the Southern Pacific and the
Pacific Electric companies to put the
proposed drawbridges in after public
hearing upon the same before Capt.
Fries in this city were forwarded by
him to the secretary of war at Wash
ington and are now awaiting decision
in the office of the chief engineer,
U. s. A., at Washington
The matter appears of such urgent
Importance as to call for immediate
action, and we suggest the propriety,
and indeed necessity, of your honor
able body at once passing resolu-
ton addressed to the secretary of war
urging In the name of commerce and
the future development of San Pedro
that the drawbridges in question be
ordered constructed at once; also that
YOU communicate tho resolution and
urge its support to Senator Flint and
Congressman McLachlan.
Yours respectfully,

And whereas, The city council, in
view of the data submitted in said
communication and the Importance
Of the commercial interests of the
city of Los Angeles and Southern
California of favorable action by the
war department and the construction
Of said drawbridges without delay.
Now therefore resolved, In the in
terests of commerce and Of the con-
sistent development of San Pedro
harbor, the city council respectfully
urges that such action be taken by
the proper authorities to order said
drawbridges constructed at once.
Resolved, further, That copy of
these resolutions be transmitted to
