BRUTAL BEATING OF
VETERAN DENOUNCED
WEEKLY PRESS ASSOCIATION
IN RESENTFUL MOOD
Governor of Soldiers Home and Presis
dent Roosevelt Receive Copies of
Resolutions Condemning Treat
ment of Old Man

The severe beating given to one of
the aged veterans of the Soldiers
home by one Of the police force at the
home while making an arrest over a
week ago was brought to the attention
of the Los Angeles County Weekly
Press association by Charles H. Ran
dali, editor of the Highland Park Her
aid, himself a veteran of the Civil
War. and a resolution of condemnation
was adopted, one copy of which will
be sent to the governor of the institu-
ton and another to President Roose-
welt.
Mr.. Randall used emphatic language
when urging the association to take
action in the matter. He said he could
not adequately express his feelings
toward the management of an lnstltu-
ton which would permit such out
RACES toward the men who gave the
best of their lives in the defense of the
Union.
The particular instance at which the
resolutions are aimed is the beating of
Jacob milford, 81 years old, at the
hands of Officer Foy of the Soldiers
home police force.
milford was sent to the hospital for
several days as a result OF the brutal
treatment Foy was relieved from
police duty at the time by Governor
Cochrane, and a few days later was
arrested on a battery charge sworn
to by one of the witnesses of the as
sault.
The resolution adopted is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, We learn with mingled
feelings of regret and sorrow that an
aged and honored defender of the ma
ton, a member of the national military
home, was recently brutally beaten
and misused by a guard in that insti-
tuition; therefore be it
Resolved, BY the Los Angeles Coun-
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-08-12

ty Weekly Press association that we
express in the strongest terms our con-
domination of such treatment of men
who deserve only kindness and graft
tude at the hands of the people of this
country, and we call upon the authori-
ties at the Soldiers home to admins
ter the severest punishment possible to
the perpetrator of this outrage, and to
take proper precaution that there shall
be no future occurrence of the kind.
Resolved, That copies of this reso-
luton shall be forwarded to the COVER
nor of the Soldiers home, to President
Roosevelt, and shall be published in
the thirty newspapers which are mem
bers of this association"

GREAT WADUCT is
SOON TO BE BUILT
LOS ANGELES TO HAVE ONE OF
LARGEST IN WORLD
CITY Council Now Almost Certain tc
Pass $4,000 Budoet-5uena
Vista Street Bridge Will
Cost $365,ooo

Unless an unexpected snag is struck
in the council when the budget is re-
ported to that body this afternoon the
Buena Vista Viaduct will be built. The
budget as it now stands contains an
appropriation of S115,000 for the mon
ster bridge, which will be one of the
biggest in the world
on account of the great difficulty the
finance committee has had in trimming
the estimates to meet the income of
the city it was at first believed the
Buena Vista street bridge would have
to go over another year, but this will
not be the case.
Opposition will develop from Coun-
Gilman Healy of the Eighth ward, who
wants a new bridge over Main street
to take the place of the one that is
falling to pieces, but as a concession
to Councilman Dromgold all other
councilmen are expected to vote for it.
It is estimated the bridge will cost
1856, 0OO 1t will be of concrete and
will stand a thing of beauty for many
decades when finished.
The city's proportion of the bridge
proper will be about $175,000, and the
street railway companies Will pay the
rest.
While the Southern Pacific railroad
will receive no direct benefit from the
viaduct it has freely given the city a
right of way over it's roadbed for the
bridge, and at its own expense has
widened Buena Vista street from the
bridge site to Bishop street twenty
feet, making an eighty-foot street that
can easily be converted into a boule-
yard and the boulevard is part of
the bridge proposal.
The finance committee expects to
complete it's work of trimming esti-
Ala ho Ifr4 IN
port the budget to the council at/its
session this afternoon. The last 1861
900 can be cut off, the committee finds,
and it hopes to be able to keep Hfe tax
rate under $780, though there appears
to be small chance for this.

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS -
RIFLE CLUB is REFUSED
RANGE PERMIT AT CHUTEs

The petition of the Southern Califor-
mia Rifle club for a rifle range at
Chutes park was denied by the police
commission yesterday.
When the matter came before the
commission at it's meeting last week
the matter was referred to Commits
sioner Lewis for report. Mr.. Lewis
lives beside the Chutes park and was
opposed to it. He improved his oppor-
tunity to secure a numerously signed
protest and presented the protest with
his recommendation that it be not
granted to the commission yesterday.

WANT AUTO SPEED LIMIT
ON PIC0 STREET REDUCED
Police Commission Denies Petition,
but lnstructs for Arrest of All
Who Exceed Twenty
Miles an Hour

A petition was presented to the police
commission yesterday to lower the
speed at which automobiles and motor
cycles may travel on Pico street, from
Main to Hoover, from twenty to twelve
miles an hour. The petition was
numerously signed, but none of the
petitioners was present, and Roy He'll
man of the Automobile club was pres
ent to represent the autoists and pro-
test against the change. The petition
was denied, but the chief was instructed
to arrest all who exceed the limit of
twenty miles an hour.
Since the paving of Pico street it
has been made a regular speedway, and
forty to fifty miles an hour is COM
mon speed on Pico street.

NEVADA MINING TOWN
WIPED OUT BY FLAMES

ELY, New, Aug. 11.-Ripetown, a
mining camp located nine miles from
Ely, with a population of about 300,
was almost completely destroyed by
fire last night. The fire started in the
Mint saloon by the explosion of a
lamp and spread with great rapidity.
There We're few men in the town to
fight the flames, as yesterday was pay
day, and most of the miners were in
Ely. Only two buildings escaped de-
struction. The loss is total, as there
was no insurance on the property de-
stroyed.

A. G. HARPER, Mayor
Appointees Unfortunate

Mayor Harper seems particularly I'M
fortunate in his appointees to the po-
lice commission. He first named Sam
uel Schenck. Schenck's conduct on
one particular occasion was so no
torious the mayor was compelled to
accept his resignation.
That was the first SCANDAL in the
police board during this administra-
ton. The second came about four
weeks ago when Fuller's connection
with the disorderly houses was made
public.
with his next appointment the mayor
believes the old superstition of the
third time will work to his interests.
He has a man in mind for the place,
but has not had time to discuss the
matter with him, and until he does so
he will not make public his appoint
ment.
AS matter closely allied with the
Fuller case, the mayor is considering
the appointment of a committee of
fifty men who shall act as : commits
sion to determine a final solution for
the ''redlight'' district.
This commission will report it's find
ings to the police board and the de-
cision arrived at will be binding for all
time as far as this administration is
concerned.
