UNION LEADER AWARDED
DAMAGES FOR INJURIES

Harry Bobbitt, president of the
Bricklayers' union of Los Angeles, yes
terday secured 1925 damages from a
member of the union named Garety,
whom he accused of having assaulted
him
The trouble occurred during Septem-
ber and it caused a scandal in the ranks
of the unionists of Los Angeles. At
that time Bobbitt, as chairman of the
union, was trying to present a resolu-
ton declaring the Los Angeles Gas
company to be a scab corporation,
while Garety was trying to prevent it
on the ground that the chairman
couldn't present resolutions, and it
ended by the sergeant-at-armsp putting
Garety out of the room. He waited
outside and met the chairman, and the
two fought. Yesterday when Bobbitt
tried, on the witness stand of Depart
ment 4, to show what really had hap
pened to him the performance would
have done credit to vaudeville artist
Bondee, another union man, was
made defendant to the suit, but he had
acted as peacemaker and was exon
Grated. In making peace he had frac-
tured one of Bobbtt's ribs, but Judge
James did not hold that against him.
Judge James ruled that the doctors
bills incurred by Bobbitt would be paid
by Garety and refused to grant any
other damages asked for.

DIVISION FAVORED
BY NATIVE SONS
City Assessor and Former Police COM
missioner, Both Born in CaIifor.
mia, Advocate Separation of
North and South

An organization having for it's object
an energetic campaign in the interest
of state division will be formed within
few days, or at the latest within the
next week.
Present plans of leaders of the move
ment, and who consist of several of
the most prominent men of Los An
geles, contemplate central organiza-
tion, through the efforts of which it is
hoped by the advocates of state di-
vision to bring about the organization
of similar bodies throughout the state.
The idea is expressed that many res
idents of the northern section of the
state will be in favor of division and it
is contemplated not only to organize
division socic ties in every city in
Southern California, but to invade the
northern portion as well.
Walter Mallard, city assessor who is
native son, yesterday declared HIM
self heartily in favor of state division
Il possess as much pride in and love
for the grand old state of California
as anyone possibly could" said Mr.
Mallard, but L do not believe that
mere sentiment should stand in the
way of what undoubtedly is an abso-
Lutte necessity and which is certain to
be brought about sooner or later, and in
this case the sooner the better not only
for Southern California, but the north
ern section as well.
ut is notorious fact, and one that
cannot be denied by any resident of
Southern California, that this end of
the state is merely the plaything of
northern politicians and the victim of
northern greed.
Legislation which the south has re-
quested as a. mater of necessity has
been denied us at every session of the
legislature, and in stead of getting bet
ter the situation in this respect is con-
tinually becoming worse, with the re-
suit that nine-tenths of the legislation
is for the northern counties or inter-
ests. 1 believe that state division can
be accomplished, that it should and will
be brought about"
j. A. Craig, former police commits
sioner and also a native son, also de-
clared himself yesterday as a strong
supporter of the proposition to create
the state of Southern California and
practically on the grounds advanced by
Mr. Mallard.
Mr.. Craig, in addition, said that fig
ures could be given showing that
Southern California benefited less than
20 per cent from the taxation for state
expenses, while the north got the other
so per cent.

COMMISSIONER IS
OBJECT Of ATTACK
ALLEGED TO BE OWNER OF A
SALOON
Church Federation Attorney, in Fight
ing Rhodes San Pedro Street Liz
cense, Makes Sensational
Statement

Attorneys Dockweiler, Newly and
Shenk carried on triangular debate
before the police commission yesterday
over the wholesale license of George M.
Rhodes, 2002 San Pedro street.
In the heat of the debate Attorney
Newly, who represented the civic
righteous committee of the Church
federation, said that Rhodes was not
the real owner of the establishment
that a police commissioner on the Nc
Aleer board which granted the permit
was really proprietor of the place.
Attorney Dockweiler, representing
Rhodes interests, denied this.
Attorney Shenk, the deputy attached
to the city attorneys Office as advisor
for the board, held that because of legal
questions involved in the arguments
that the case must be more thoroughly
considered and the board took it under
advisement another week.
The issue seems to be the construction
of the ordinance requiring that two
thirds of the property owners of each
side or of both sides of block sign the
applications. Judge Bordwell's decis-
ion is differently construed by the prin-
cipals.
The case will probably be carried into
the courts.

WOULD FINISH
SEWER IN YEAR
CONTRACTOR WANTS BIG OUT.
FALL CONTRACT
John Rebman offers to DO the Work,
Provided Route Can Be Diverted
Away from Water-6ear-
ing Lands

Contractor John Rebman, who built
the city jail, yesterday asked the
board of public works to grant the
contract to finish the outfall sewer to
him for 100000. He wants to change
the route, to avoid the water bearing
lands, and agrees to finish the Job
this year.
Rebman's letter was as follows:
ITO the board of public works:
1T having been brought to my at
tention that the question of diVerting
the outfall sewer, now in process of
construction from the course now be-
ing followed around the hill, so as to
avoid the difficulties encountered in
| carrying the tunnel through the hill
and In constructing water-tight con-
duit in the water-bearlng stratum is
being considered, L desire to make you
the following proposal, viz.
That l Will undertake the compile
tion of the uncompleted portion of the
outfall sewer according to the specifi-
cations followed in that portion of the
work already completed, and of the
same capacity as the minimum ca
pacity of the finished work. along the
following route, viz:
Commencing at a point on the up-
per end where the grade line of the
present new outfall sewer, If extended
from its intersection at Vernon avenue
would strike the hills, in a continuation
of said avenue on the land of E. j.
Baldwin; thence following as nearly
on a contour as the grade would per-
init the base of the hills to the south
and west, crossing Centinela creek at a
point about one mile below the brick
spur; thence on q line almost due
south to a connection with the present
location of the new outfall sewer in
the town of Inglewood-and furnish a
right of way without expense to the
city-completing the work by December
L, 1907, if contract be entered into so
that work may be commenced within
the next ten days.
II will perform the said work in ac-
cordance with the conditions and re-
quirements Of the contract between the
city of Los Angeles and Stansbury &
Powell, and furnish the right of way,
for 100000, and I will allow $50,000 for
the material and equipment now on
the ground, for which the city would
have no further use in connection with
said work if the route be changed
said sum OF $4,000 to be deducted from
the contract price, leaving the amount
of cash to be paid me $250,000 for the
completed work; payment to be made
as the work progresses, and such pro-
portion of the contract price to be re-
tained as may hereafter be mutually
| agreed upon between your honorable
body and myself. 1 will furnish such
surety bond as you may require.
IAN early answer will be appreciated.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN REBMAN."
