FATE OF 'YALLER'
DOGS IN BALANCE
S. p. C. A. Prosecutes Poundmaster's
Deputy on Allegations of Treating
Two MongreIs in Inhuman
Manner

Two dogs, just common yellow dogs,
were the cause of much fireworks and
rapid talk in Justice Frederickson' s
court yesterday when the case of
Frank Hudson, charged with cruelty
to animals, was being tried. 1t was
alleged by the Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals that Judson,
who is a deputy of the city pound
master, George Vacher, had cruelty
carried two helpless dogs in a sack for
twenty blocks over the city streets.
Judson was said to be driving a two
wheeled cart and had the dogs tied
to a crossbar of the rig.
The attorney for the society was
Lamar Harris and for Judson Conk-
ling, Brotherton and Young appeared.
These men in their arguments spent
much time in attacking and defending
the spirit and actions of the society.
Harris made an eloquent plea for an
improvement in the methods of treat
ing dumb animals. He said it was a
part of civilized progress to treat help
less brutes better and that it was no
defense to say that it was customary
to treat dogs as the dogs in question
had been treated.
Attorney Conkling imputed bad mo-
tives to the society and said it was
kept up by the fines imposed on luck
less offenders against too strict laws.
Jury Is Puzzled
Up to q late hour last night the jury
was still debating what treatment a
'yaller dog" could receive and still not
be treated cruelty.
Behind this case is said to lie the
story of an attempt of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
to gain control of the office of the
city poundmaster. This office brings
in a goodly sum each year and the
society is said by the poundmaster to
want that money to flow into it's cof-
fers.
The society has nothing to say on
desire only humane treatment of dumb
animals, even if it is only "yaller
dog" Some of the members of the
society say that the deputies of the
dogman go far beyond their rights as
prescribed by law. They are said to
visit fashionable districts, such as
Chester place, and take valuable dogs
from the lawns of mansions. These
cultured CANNES of high society are
then forced to ride in the dog hurry
up wagon" and mingfe with the COM
mon herd of dog society Much dan
ger is attached to this, for these highly
bred and very valuable dogs are apt
to be bitten in vulnerable parts by the
savage and democratic mongrel of the
streets. But the dog catcher, Mr..
Vacher says in answer to this that 1t
is very seldom his men are careless
as to what dogs they take. He says
it is very hard to get men to catch
dogs who will discriminate according
to moral doctrines what is right and
what is not.
AS q result of these conditions +ba
society, or rather it's Superintendent.
N. w. thinner, backed by the many
wealthy members of the society. is
after the dog catcher for what they
allege to be inhuman treatment of
CANNES.

READING AT NORMAL SCHOOL

Educational circles are much inter-
ested in the interpretative recital of
"Richard III. Tragedy of Ambition, "
to be given by Henry Lawrence South
wick, dean of the Emerson College of
Oratory, Boston, Mass, in the state
normal school auditorium Friday after
noon, June IA, at Q o'clock.
The name of Henry Lawrence South
wick the distinguished classic teacher,
orator and artist, is presented with the
following claims:
"At the present time dean of Emer-
son College of Oratory, Boston, Henry
Lawrence Southwick, was for some
years master OF English in the Will
liam Penn charter school of Philadel-
phia and for several seasons has been
a prominent and brilliant figure upon

before leading colleges and prominent
women's clubs and his services have
been in constant demand at teachers

profit, it will result in a larger popu-
lation. bringing a demand for more
factories, making the city the center
of much richer agricultural district,
and increasing the taxable area ulti-
mately by more than $50 900, 900.
This is one reason why those who
have investigated the subject know
that the aqueduct will be able to pay
for itself after it is in operation
Another reason for this conviction is
the possibilities that lie in the devel-
opment of electrical power. If the city
so desires, and it undoubtedly will, to
build power plants it will be able to
develop between $4,000 and 10000 horse
power, or enough to light the city's
streets and furnish a great amount of
power at small rate for manufacture
ing enterprises. The net yearly earnings
from this source are estimated by cleo
trical experts at $1,406. 900, or enough
from this source alone to pay the in
terest on the bonds and the principal
This right to develop electrical power
will not be farmed out or leased to any
power company or corporation. Had
this been done there would have been
no opposition from the power COM
panies who hoped to be able to secure
this privilege and who, finding this not
possible, seek to defeat the undertake
ing. If power is developed it is re-
quired that the city shall own and
operate it's own plants. The govern
ment, when it began to assist the city
in the undertaking. made this the only
requirement-that the project should
be undertaken and completed entirely
by the municipality itself.

THE POLITICIANS
HIRES WOMEN TO DO WORK OF
VOTERS
MaIIard Explains That Feminine En-.
ployes Were Trained in Record
ers Office and Know
Business Well

Because Assessor Walter Mallard put
eight young women to work as extra
clerks in his department at the city
hall yesterday murmurs of discomfort
resounded up and down the corridors.
Some of the politicians who had in
fluence with their councilmen and who
had the extra help measure passed a
few days ago told them that it was a
jobs right under their noses. 1t made
notes, they agreed that they supposed
they were voting for men to do this
work.
Last night the situation became
clearer when Assessor Mallard was
asked about it.
Eyes, 1 did put some women to
work." said Mr.. Mallard, "but I had
reasons.
"This work is being done by force
of women who worked in the county re-
corder's office and are thoroughly fa-
miliar with it.
"At most there is only six or seven
days time required, and they go right
ahead without any preliminary break
ing in.
'If 1 put new men on it several days
would be lost in coaching.
Formerly this work was done by
the deputies, who got overtime pay
for it. But the city attorney has ruled
that men on the deputies pay rolls
cannot get any overtime pay, so we did
the next best thing"

MUSIC AND DRAMA
Philharmonic Quintet

Society and music combined last
night to do honor to the Philharmonic
quintet, which gave it's farewell con-
cert at the Gamut club auditorium be-
fore starting on an eastern tour. The
five talented California women won
unbounded applause from their audi
ence, which comprised their society
friends and music lovers.
To Miss Carolyn Won Benzon went
the honors of the evening. In Bur-
leighs Jean" her impressionistic
temperament found full scope, and the
of beauty and expression that brought
the house almost to it's feet. Later in
the waltz song from Romeo and
Juliet" (Gounod), she displayed her
coloratura powers to advantage.
Miss Louise Nixon Hill divided the
attention with her. She sang all her
numbers in clever costumes. Her first
appearance in a pink gown called forth
an encore. Gentle, touching, almost
too sweet in it's beauty, her rendition
of Penn's "Carissima" was one of the
finest pieces of the program. Later
she appeared clad in the Scotch tartan
and sang a trio of Scottish airs.
Miss Nuncia Sabini Bittman showed
her rich contralto to advantage in
"The Years at Spring" and IF Thou
Vert Gone" (Bartlett) Miss Miriam
Eskridge rendered several readings of
a humorous turn and received her full
share of applause The singers were
accompanied on the piano by Miss

YOUNGEST BURGLAR WILL
BE CURED BY OPERATION

John Deering, 8 years of age, who
bears the distinction of being the
youngest burglar ever arraigned on
that charge before local tribunes. was
released yesterday by Judge Wilbur of
the juvenile court.
James F. Deering, the boys father,
was in court and promised to keep
careful watch of the embryo cracks
man in the future. He told the court
that he had made arrangements with
the Salvation army to send Johnnie to
the industrial home of that organiza-
ton in Sonoma county.
Judge Wilbur would not consent to
this, but insisted that the boy should
have his mothers care, particularly
for the next three months, as he has
just recovered from an operation by
DR.. CULVER for the removal of ade-
noids.
The court was of opinion that the
cause of Johnnies stealing was purely
physical, and is confident that since
the operation was entirely successful
the boy will return to the straight and
narrow path Of decorum from which
he had strayed.

cans and other refuse made the place
resemble a goat paradise. The picture
was a chef d'oeuvre. Rafert knew it
and he knew the $40 was his.
Meantime the leagues announcement
had caused something of a stir in the
Express office. The Express saw in it
a chance to scoop every other paper
in the city. The scoop came through,
too, but that is getting ahead of the
story.
Gumshoes After "Scoop"
Exactly fifty-two seconds after the
editor OF the Express had been in
formed OF the leagues project a young
man hurried hot Wing from the office
and boarded a car for the league head
quarters. There he besought the ur-
bane secretary Of that organization to
give him the prize-winning photo
graphs so that he might print them.
The secretary promised and he kept
his wor,.
Some weeks later the committee of
award met and Rafert was given first
prize. Then his photograph, with the
other prize winners, was turned over
to the tender mercies of the Express
new engraving department.
Faithfully the engravers answered 70
the call of duty and turned out a
really excellent halftone of that mas
terpiece OF a photograph. Last night
the Express proudly printed the result.
Shortly after o'clock Mr.. Rafert
left his desk in the Times office, where
he is employed as staff photographer
and walked down to the street where
he bought copy of the Express from
a passing newsboy. There was the
picture. Rafert looked at it and
laughed.
In the Express office there was no
time for Inirth or laughter. Someone
had discovered that the "Ugliest Spot"
in Los Angeles was a part of e. T.
Earls realty holdings.
Even profanity was inadequate to ex-
press the emotions of the moment. Cold
type couldn't possibly do 1t justice.
And what Mr.. Earl said when he saw
that most unkindest cut of all wasn't
fit to eat.

very important paper, but at least the
fact gives point to the joke.
Just why NJ. A. Rafert should so far
presume as to select E. T. Earl as the
butt for his humor is not quite clear.
Perhaps Mr.. Rafert has grudge
against Mr.. Earl. Maybe some time in
the past Mr.. Earl sold Mr.. Rafert

any rate it was a bitter lemon that

This in whole or large part is de-
pendent upon irrigation.
Facts from Civic Bodies
Here are some facts which were OBJ
| tanned from the chambers of commerce
| of Corona, Ontario, Redlands, Riverside
and San Diego. From reports obtained
from these sources it is shown that
the total irrigated acreage in these
five districts at the end of last year
amounted to $4,000 acres.
Fifteen or twenty years ago the
larger part of this area for the most
part produced sage brush and cactus.
Before irrigation was begun in these
districts the land had little or no
value. small population and few If
any crops Even at this day the aver
age price per acre for land where no
water can be obtained for irrigation is
1880.
The conditions at present under the
system of irrigation that is being pur-
sued shows what increased irrigation
will mean for Los Angeles.
These $4,000 acres, irrigated and
given over to orchards today, have an
average valuation per acre of $1,000 or
an aggregate value of S68,00O,00O.
The total value of their crops is $22.
900 annually.
They support population Of $4,000.
If these lands were within Los An

county treasury in the way of taxes
