The government sought to show that
Cummings had discovered, after in
vesting $4,000 in the Pacific Furniture
and Lumber company. upon travelling
been gained through fraud. But Cum
mings, although admitting that he was
not satisfied with the deal, said he
found no indications of fraud.
Attorneys for the defense, Goudge
and Davis claim that testimony from
the government witnesses is being
admitted which, according to Cal
ifornia statutes, is not permitted as ev-
idence.
Henry L. Miller of r. G. Dun &
Co. was the first witness on the stand
yesterday. He testified to his having
had a talk with Warren Gillelen of
the Broadway Bank and Trust COM
pany, but added that this was not the
main cause of his visit to Mr.. Gill
lelen at that time, but rather an after
thought in the conversation. Miller
was living in Los Angeles at that time,

December 2O 1906, whereby they were
to sell ten acres of land in Rowland
township for $9O0O they to receive $3.50

upholds him in his contention.

BUILDING INSPECTOR
EXAMINES SCHOOLS
Recommends Many Changes to the
Board After Inspecting Twenty
two Buildings in Most
Careful Manner

Various changes in the construction
of Los Angeles public schools are
recommended in the report of Build
ing Inspector Backus, handed to the
school board. The report covers twen-
ty-two buildings,
Among the recommendations were
the following:
At the Washington street school the
woodwork Is too near the furnace in
the basement, while the doors all open
inward, in direct violation of the rules
of safety for such buildings. The same
criticism applies to the Vermont ave-
nue. school, that building also needing
a stairway for the south wing.
At the Main street new building sew
eral doors are opened with difficulty,
owing to the buildings settling.
The same criticism holds with the
Jefferson street building, and the Main
street structure-namely, the stoves be-
ing too near the woodwork.
At the Sixteenth street school there
is a stovepipe too near the woodwork.
Another door for the kindergarten
department of the CASTELAR, school is
recommended.

Stoves Are Too Near Woodwork

In the Vernon building the stoves
are too near the woodwork
Another exit is recommended for the
Fourteenth street school, while at the
Boyd street school the janitor uses an
oil stove to heat his room, which is
under the stairway.
The Twentieth street school has need
for another furnace or the old one
should be repaired, while the kinder
garten needs another exit. The annex
is in good shape.
The schools at Staunton avenue, San
ia Fe avenue and Vernon avenue the
inspector found to be all right, but the
stoves in the Vernon school were too
near the doors.
