COMMISSION SQUABBLE
ENDS IN HANDSHAKlNG
Fire Board Members Clash Over Back
Pay for Sick Fireman, but
Smoke the Pipe of
Peace

Acting Chairman Anthony Schwamm
DemocraO of the fire board and Com
missioner Joseph Kolff (Republican)
had verbal clash at yesterdays meet
ing.
Mayor Harper was not present at
the meeting, and when Commissioner
Kolff saw apparently that there would
be no quorum he started to leave the
city hall. Just then Commissioner M.
j. McGarry espied Commissioner
SchWamm and dragged his colleague
back, though there has been some
friction between he two.
The trouble arose last week over the
question of allowing $50 for back pay
to Martin Dunn, a veteran fireman,
who was off duty. His physician says
every time he is soaked with water
at a fire he is likely to have a recur-
renee of an old ailment.
Chief Walter Lips was inclined to
think that the ailment was one not
growing out of devotion to duty, hence
the city should not be held respon-
sible for pay while a substitute was
doing the work.
The board decided to allow full pay,
much to Commissioner Kolff's chagrin
The vote of Messrs Schwamm and Lar
ronde settled it.
Kolff tried to have the boards action
reconsidered, which led to Chairman
Schwamm to say jokingly that his col
league was jealous because he did not
get his name into the newspapers so
often and that he was trying to coax
the spotlight in his direction.
Schwamm shook hands with Kolff
afterward and both agreed to bury the
hatchet.

PRISONERS SAY THEY ARE
DETECTIVES STOOL PIGEONS
Two of Gang Arrested for Robbery
Gain Liberty by Claiming They
Are Employed by Officers
of Department

w. r. Buckley, David Crosley, w.
STROBE, D. G. Blaise and James Blaise
were arraigned before Police Justice
Rose yesterday afternoon charged with
robbery.
These men formed the gang who
held up and robbed G. G. Norris on the
steps of Hotel Fremont the night of
April 6. relieving him of sum of
money and several pieces of jewelry.
The plea the men entered yesterday.
afternoon was that they were ''stool
pigeons" for the police and were trying
to implicate each other, as they were
all working for different policemen.
The plea entered by the thugs re-
suited in the release of Blaise and
Ryan. Buckley, Crosley, Strobe and
Blaise were bound over to the superior
court under $4,000 bail.
Upon one of the men released was
found a stick pin belonging to Mr..
Norris and taken from him at the time
of the robbery.
A detective said yesterday that the
plea of "stooley was familiar one
with them, as many thugs use it, but
he never knew it to be effective until
now.

MAIN STREET HALT
PROVES EXASPERATING
Enterprising Attorney for Contractor
Finds Legal Flaw and Big Improves
ment Job Must Suffer An-
other Delay

Councilman Wallace grew emphatic
Yesterday at the city council session
in his evaporation over the delay IN
sewering and paving Main street from
Jefferson southwark. Councilman 4on-
kin seconded all the remarks.
For two years this improvement work
has been under way on papes. After
many delays the contract was finally
awarded.
The contractor, following the usual
course. referred the papers to an at
torney to see if all the preliminary
steps had been regular and lawfdl SO
that he could collect the money with
out hitch. Then the enterpris1ng at
torney discovered that there was
flaw in the establishing of the original
grade.
Immediately the contractor repudi-
ated the job.
Another series of ordinances was
started and again bids were advertised
for and now the city's legal depart
ment has decided that the safest plan
is to do the entire preliminary work
over again by fixing a grade. This will
delay improvement three months.
In the hope of eXpediting matters
City Engineer Homer Hamlin was in
structed to have the grade ordinance
in the city council on Monday morning.
The same speed will be ordered in con-
nection with the sewering ordinance.
The street is a dangerous one, as the
grade of the car tracks and of the
street proper is a foot different, and
many capsizals of vehicles and auto
mobiles are narrowly averted daily.

WATER SCALDS KILL
THREE-YEAR-OLD BOY
JULIUS B0RUSH DIES OF HIS
INJURIES
Fell Into Tub of Boiling Water His
Mother Had Set on Floor Pre-
paratory to Doing the
Washing

julius Borush, the 3-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Borush, who fell
into tub of boiling water at his home
at 739 Central avenue on Wednesday,
died yesterday afternoon at the emer-
gency and general hospital.
Almost the entire body of the child
was scared with hot water and the
skin on the arms and back was so
badly blistered that it peeled off.
The child's birthday was yesterday.
He had been playing in the kitchen,
where his mother was washing. The
mother had just lifted a tub of boiling
water from the stove and set it upon
the floor. She went out to answer a
ring of the door bell and while out
heard piercing screams emerging from
the kitchen. Rushing there she saw
the boy in the tub. Almost frantic she
pulled him out and summoned aid from
neighbors. who notified the police, who
sent for an ambulance and had the boy
taken to the hospital.

CLAIMANTS HAIL
FROM FAR LANDS
TO WAGE BATTLE FOR ESTATE
OF PROSPECTOR
DEAD MINER DECLARED HE HAD
NO FAMILY
Yet Originals of Photographs Found
Among His Effects Declare They
Are Wife and Daughter
Respectively

A contest over the estate left by
John Caine, mining prospector, who
died at Long Beach on September 2,
last year, has been carried to Los An
geles from the Isle of Man, from Eng
land and from Utah, and bids fair to
resurrect secrets locked in the tomb OF
the old man, who, twenty-five years
ago, left his English home and came
to the new world to seek his fortune.
Three weeks after Gaines death
Public Administrator Bryson was ap-
pointed to take charge of his estate In
California, which consisted of $52l4 in
a Los Angeles bank and some personal
effects. Among the latter there were
discovered the photographs of two
women, one of whom now claims she
is the widow of Caine and the other
a daughter born in England five years
before Gaines departure.
Attorney McGuerin of Salt Lake City
reached Los Angeles yesterday and is
expected to file petition in the SUI
perior court asking that he be ap-
pointed administrator of the estate on
behalf of the alleged widow and daugh-
ter, both of whom live In Ogden, Utah.
Opposing him in his claims is G. White
Mortimer. the English vice consul, who
ing in the country he represents.
These heirs are Philip Caine and
Elizabeth Cartwell, nephew and niece
of the deceased, living in the Isle of
Man, and Thomas Caine and Ruth
Williamson, a nephew and niece, whose
homes are in Cumberland, England.
Copies of the photographs found in
Caine's effects were yesterday taken
by Mortimer and it is expected that of
the woman, who says she is the widow
of the old prospector, will be sent to
England, there to be identified, If pos
sible, by those familiar with incidents
in Gaines life.
Those In charge of the interests of
the English heirs will base their oppo-
sition of the alleged widow on the
ground that Caine at his death left
a paper stating positively that he had
neither wife nor children.
Besides the estate in California,
Caine left property in Utah now valued
at $4,000, together with mining inter-
ests, which may become valuable, but
at present are apparently worthless.
The woman who says she is Gaines
widow has again married, her name
now being Selig, and her daughter.
now Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bulkley,
married a few years ago.

RIVAL LINE MAY RUN
BOATS TO CATALINA
APPLICATION FOR WHARF AT
AVALON is FILED
Famous GIass-Bottomed Boats,
Is an Interested
Party

Application has been made by w. M.
Hunt, jr., for permission to construct a
wharf opposite Catalina avenue, at the
town of Avalon, Catalina island.
This application was received at the
office of the United States engineers at
Los Angeles. Captain Amos A. Fries,
who has charge of that office, says con-
cerning the proposed wharf:
Mr.. Hunt has an interest in the
larger glass bottom boats which are
run at Catalina. I believe he wishes
to run a line of steamers from San
Pedro to Avalon. on Catalina island
Since he wants a good wharf to land
at, he asks for permission to build one.
1.-The proposed site of the wharf is in
that half of the water front at Avalon
which was declared by the courts last
fall to be free water front. The other
half of the water front, between this
street mentioned and high water mark,
is owned by the Bannings as declared
by the courts at the same time"

COUNCIL WILL PAY
FOR STREET FLAGS
CITY AIDS IN PATRIOTIC DECO
RATIVE SCHEME
Lawmakers Help Fleet Committee
Share Financial Burden by De-
fraying Cost of lncidentals
in Downtown Display

Park Commissioner William Humph-
reys' eloquence, the patriotism of the
city councilmen and the opinion Of city
Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt enabled the
city's law makers yesterday to reduce
the cares of the fleet committee to some
extent as the municipality agreed to
pay for the ISL flags and some lumber
to aid in the Los Angeles decorative
scheme.
The decorations committee, Of which
Mr.. Humphreys is chairman, had put
147 flags, size 6x12, across wires on
Broadway and Spring streets, and four
flags, 20x40 feet, on the city hall, these
at "a cost of only 1895. Unless the coun-
Gil met the bill the cost would have
been taxed to the fleet committee
1t had also contracted for lumber
costing $173 for stand purposes.
The city's legal adviser rules that
these purchases were all right, as they
could be permanently used, the hags
being charged to the custodian of pub
lie buildings fund and the lumber to
the park department. They can be
used again by these departments.
I'VE are looking upon this decoration
question not only from a patriotic
standpoint, but financial one," said
Commissioner Humphreys to the coun-
ell. 1.-THE visit of the fleet will do us
far-reaching good.
"Our hotels are full now and people
are coming by every train. The fleet S
visit will be of great good to Los An
geles. We are sending invitations all
over the western states, and they are
being accepted. Let us in a substantial
way show our patriotism and civic
pride" :.
Several of the councilmen compli-
mented Chairman Humphreys for buy
ing cotton flags which they said would
last better than woolen ones, and be
less subject to attack by moths.
The fiage will remain in the care OF
the chamber of commerce probably for
future use at celebrations.

AMES DENIES BANKS
WILL FORM MERGER
BANKER SAYS NEWSPAPER MIS-
QUOTED HIM
and Merchants and Other Small
Institutions Would
Consolidate

A rumor that has gained currency
and which was aired in a morning
paper Thursday morning to the effect
that there was in progress a giant
merger of local banks" is generally
denied by bankers, and w. B. Ames,
president of the Miners and Merchants
bank, who was misquoted on the sub
ject declared to The Herald yesterday
that he, did not believe there was any
truth in the rumor and had so in
formed the paper when questioned by
it's representative.
The rumor is based on the clearing
house rule requiring banks capitalized
for less than 100000 to increase their
capital to that figure or more by Sep
tember l or be barred from the rights
of the clearing house.
Since the rule was passed upon a
number of banks have increased their
capital and two banks have merged TO
comply with the rule.
1t is alleged that thirty-five banks.
capitalized for less than the required
100000, would merge into two or three
gigantic institutions. 1t is said that
four banks have already arranged to
merge. These banks are the Miners
and Merchants bank, Bank of Los An
geles, Western State bank and Union
Exchange bank. Another phase of the
rumor is that the banks thus merging
ana LnOSo ABOUT 10 lnSlSG WOulu Wv
their own collecting and, as it were,
establish their own clearing house.
Denies Interview
These rumors, which were printed,
together with an alleged interview with
Ames, are denied by him. He says he
does not know of any proposed merger
and does not believe there will be such
a step taken.
1t is the general belief among bank
ers and business men that by the time
required banks with less than 100000
will have either increased their capital
individually or merged in twos and
threes. But In this event everything
will be conducted in keeping with
clearing house rules and there will be
no opposition to the established insti-
tuition.

IMPERIAL COUNTY APPEAL
TAKEN TO SUPREME COURT

More than usual interest is attached
to a document filed at the Los Angeles
offices of the state supreme court yes
terday, inasmuch as this paper was
the first appeal filed with that court
from the superior court by party in
the new Imperial county.
j. II. Edgar claims he had possession
of the land, a valuable half section
near the town of Imperial, for over
year before April 90 when he affirms
James McNair entered upon it unlaw-
fully. Edgar asked for the return of
the land and for $150,000 damages
Judge Franklin J. Cole, although rul-
ing that he was entitled to the land
allowed no damages. and hence appeal
was taken to the state supreme court
from the superior court.

OREGON LAND CASE ENDS
AFTER FORTY-THREE DAYS
Commissioner Van Dyke viii Take
Time to Announce Decision, as
He Has Much Delayed
Work

Arguments in the famous oregon
land fraud case, wherein Los Angeles
parties, among them Gillelen and
Kenny of the Broadway bank, were
implicated, were concluded at the fed
eral court room before United States
Commissioner William Van Dyke yes
terday.
1t is not known when the decision
will be announced by the commissioner
on this case, as he has put off many
duties on account of it and has great
deal of back work to attend to in
consequence.
The case was commenced on March
4, and thus the close comes after forty
three days since its opening, although
not ali of this time was taken on the
case by any means, there being numer-
GUS recesses taken by the court.
Tracy ]. Becker, assistant United
States prosecuting attorney in this
case, made the closing arguments for
the government yesterday
at is impossible for anyone to say
that the government has not shown
probable causes against them," he re-
marked, speaking of Gillelen and Ken
ny, land all the defendants in this
frauds of the Pacific Furniture and
Lumber company.
Guilty of Conspiracy
each one is guilty of conspiring
against the United States government
and of defrauding it of the lands in
Oregon, and so should be removed to
that state for trial"
In concluding, he said that the gov
ernment would have dismissed this
case if the defendants had withdrawn
from the bad company in which they
found themselves in this oregon crowd,
but they had stood in with the Pacific
Furniture and Lumber company with
the motto, "All for one and one for all, y
and hence all should suffer together.
Let them go the Oregon" exclaimed
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Beck
er; II will guarantee them the fairest
of trials-if they will tell the truth.
But if not, 1 promise to give them the
hottest run for conviction they ever
had"
Attorney H. ]. Goudge, one of the
counsel for defense, spoke afterward
for few minutes, correcting what he
claimed was a misstatement of the
prosecution concerning the filing of
land entries in oregon.
