CAST HIS BREAD ON
WATERS OF CHARITY
AND GETS 1T BACK
Secretary of Fire and Police Commits
sons Three Years Ago Aided
Beauty In Distress and
Is Repaid

Three dollars cast on the waters
of charity three years ago returned
to Charles McKeag, secretary of the
fire and police commissions, yesterday
morning. AS a consequence Mr.. Nc
Keag is just SO happier, for he long
ago had given the money up as gone
forever, and forgotten about it.
In 1905, while Mr.. McKeag was sec
retary to Mayor McAleer, a young
woman in tears entered his office and
asked to see the mayor.
The mayor was not present and Nc
Keag asked if there was anything he
could do to dry her tears. She told
him her brother was very sick from
tuberculosis in the mountains and she
had come to Los Angeles to buy some
medicine, but had lost her pocketbook
and return ticket.
Beauty in tears went straight to Nc
Keags heart and when told that So
would fix everything all right he forth
with produced the money. Smiling
through her tears she thanked him
very prettily and promised to repay
his as soon as possible.
Within a few days the brother died
and Miss fearful Beauty took his body
back east. One death after another
occurred in her family, and only a
few days ago she returned to Los An
geles AS soon as she returned she
called up the mayors office to learn
the name of the handsome young gem
tleman who was secretary to the
mayor in 1905, and yesterday morning
called on Mr.. McKeag and refunded
the borrowed money.

MAY REVOKE PERMIT FOR
BLASTING INSIDE OF CITY

Proprietors of the Los Angeles
Brick company have been cited to ap-
pear before the police commission at
it's session next Tuesday and show
cause why their blasting permit should
not be revoked.
The police commission is not at all
certain this company has such a per-
init, but it should have. and in case it
has not it will not be allowed to con-
tinue blasting.
The property owners in the neigh
borhood complained to the commission
yesterday that they have been dis
turbed by daily earthquakes on Sun
days as well as week days, and that
the plastering in their houses has
been cracked and has fallen off, and
the hills under their homes so under
mined that their houses have threat
ened to fall down the slope of Chavez

ACCUSED OF OBTAINING
MONEY BY FALSE PRETENSE

Henderson to answer to the superior
court on a charge of obtaining money
and property under false pretenses.
Walter Wehner, who SAL Henderson
had sold him stock in the Humboldt
Brewing company on misrepresenta-
tions, was the prosecuting witness. A
similar charge brought against Hen
derson by Arthur Noble was dismissed.

showed him photographs of the brew
ery's extensive plant, located at
Eureka, Cal, but, he declares, the
buildings exist on paper only. Hen
derson came from Germany several
months ago to answer to the charges
brought against him. He was released

Session Discussing the Case of
Charles H. FuIIer-Nothing
Made Public

For two solid hours yesterday the
police commissioners and Mayor Har-
per sat behind locked doors In the
mayors office and discussed the case
of Police Commissioner Fuller.
When the conference closed none OF
the commissioners would talk about
what had been said, and even Mayor
Harper, who usually is ready to say
something, declared he had no state
ment to make now.
'I may say something in few days
and 1 may not" was the non-commit-
tai manner in which the mayor turned
aside the volley of questions.
The mayor had spent part of the
day looking over some evidence gath
cred against Commissioner Fuller, and
although he made no comment it could
easily be seen he was much disturbed
about it.
That he was worried about the mat
ter he has frankly admitted several
times.
