WHOLE COMMITTEETO
REVIEW FLEET PLANS
MAYOR HARPER CALLS MEET
ING FOR TODAY
Mrs. Evans VIII Talk to the Admiral
over Telephone from Alexandria.
Fleet Parade Feature
Unsettled

Instead of the regular executive COM
mittee meeting of the fleet committee
this afternoon Mayor Harper has called
the entire committee, composed of near
ly seventy members, to meet at the
city council chamber in the city hall
at $3.50 o'clock.
This is the first meeting of the en-
tire committee for several weeks and
is intended by the mayor to receive
reports from the various committees
and review the work done. Several
weeks ago 1t was found impractical to
attempt to handle the detail work
through a committee of such large
membership, and the creation of an
executive committee was authorized.
The mayor thinks it proper that the
entire membership should meet and re-
view the work that has been arranged
by the executive committee, which was
composed of the chairmen of all the
subcommittees and the various sub
committees. 1t is not believed that
there is any opposition to the plans
as arranged.
The committee now has but one fea-
ture of the celebration that is unde-
cided and that is the fleet parade Sun
day morning after the arrival of the
fleet in San Pedro harbor. This parade
has met with the opposition of the Los
Angeles church federation and it has
secured from Admiral Evans promise
that only necessary movements will be
made on that day. That might mean a
parade as the most practical method of
distributing the ships, .,ut this has
been left with Admiral Thomas, who
has succeeded Admiral Evans in COM
mand. The church federation, how
ever, understands Admiral Evans
promise to mean that the distribution
will not be by parade.
The parade feature has not been
taken up officially by the committee
and 1t had not been thS purpose to
bring it up officially until the special
committee visits San Diego to extend
the formal invitation to the fleet.
viii Talk to Admiral
Admiral Evans and his wife will hear
the sound of each others voices for the
first time in four months when Mrs.
Evans reaches Los Angeles tomorrow
night. Henry F. Cassiday of the Sun
set Telephone company has arranged
to have placed in Mrs. Evans apart
ments at the Alexandria special long
distance equipment between the apart
ment and the admiral's room at Paso
Robles. so that they may talk to each
other at the earliest moment. Mrs
Evans and her daught,r, Mrs. C. c.
Mars, will reach here tomorrow even
ing at 6 oclock over the Santa Fe and
will remain over night at the Alex
andria.
The decorating committee will receive
bids for the installation of the deco
rations at the mayors office tomorrow
morning.

SAGE OVERCOME
IN COURT ROOM
~ CAN'T GO ON" SAYS FORMER
DEPUTY
ADMITS HAVING DEAD GIRLS
RING
Damaging Evidence Brought Out in
Trial Now on in Judge conrey's
Department of the SUI
perlor Court

Apparently overcome by the recollec-
tions of the former friendship between
himself and his superior in office, Clyde
NJ. Sage yesterday almost broke down
while giving testimony in the trial of
DIR. r. s. Lanterman, charged with rem
dering false accounts of railway ex-
penses to the county treasurer.
81 can't go on" said Sage, when
questioned concerning the circum-
stances at the time when Lanterman
offered him the position of deputy cor
oner. The ordeal, however, was ended
a few moments later when Sage finished
his testimony and he left the court
room.
Another important witness during the
day was T.. Vallincour, coroner's clerk
under Lanterman. He said he had a
number of trips with Lanterman when
the latter was attending inquests, but
had never seen him pay fares.
Vallincour testified his own fare had
been paid by Sage on one trip to Po-
mona, which is one of the items mem
toned in the Sage Indictment, thus ap-
parently indicating that part, at least,
of Sage's account was correct.
Two conductors on the Pacific Elec-
trio identified their reports on the day
of the Pomona inquest, for which an
expense account was rendered by Lam
terman, and these reports showed the
pass number 1926, said to have been
given Lanterman by the attorney for
the road, was used on that occasion.
Gave Physician Pass
r. L. Anable, an agent for the Salt
Lake road, said he had given Lanter-
man a pass over that road in January,
1906.
During the testimony of Sage 1t was
brought out by the attorneys for Lam
terman that he not only had confessed
the charges contained in the Indictment
returned against him January 27 that
he rendered false account of $16.05 to
the county were true, but that he had
reimbursed the county for this sum
and also for $16.32 more.
He also acknowledged that he at ons
time was in possession of the diamond
ring belonging to the Olga Miller estate,
for the alleged embezzlement of which
he is to be tried this week. The ring,
he said, had been given to Arthur Il.
Reineman, Pasadena agent for trust
company in Illinois, the executor of the
estate.
Sage denied he had been habitually
intoxicated in office and that Lanter-
man had threatened on many occasions
to discharge him on this account.
On request of Judge j. W. Mckinley,
one of Lanterman's counsel, Judge
Conrey continued the trial at 2:30
o'clock today, pending the arrival In
Los Angeles of Attorney Earl Rogers
from San Francisco.

BE Accepted, as He Fears
Hic Patent Might Be
Infringed

other bid be acted upon favorably.

fications for an addition to the county
Jail. The bids will be advertised for
today.

nishing of about 10000 barrels of crude

Confessed Taking city's Money
and Claims to Have Lost
1t Gambling

Thomas Nelson, deputy tax collector
OF San Pedro was arrested on Spring
streets in this city yesterday morning

and a warrant issued for his arrest.
He was arrested by officers Imam and
Carpenter, who took him back to San
Pedro.

SEVERAL NEAR DEATH
IN SEWER GAS EXPLOSION


AS the result of an explanation of
sewer gas in a manhole on Hill street
between Second and Third streets yes
terday morning, several persons mar
rowly escaped injury and q delivery
wagon belonging to Coulter Brothers
was overturned by being struck by the
cover as 1t was blown in the air.
The delivery wagon was directly over
the iron lid and when the explosion
came the cover was hurled with great
force.
The report startled the horse that
was attached to the wagon and 1t
broke loose as the vehicle was upset
and dashed UP the street toward Sec
ond. The animal was caught before
any damage was done
A few seconds before the explosion a
street sweeper was standing on the
iron cover. He stepped aside to let the
wagon get near the curb. Had he re-
mained there a short while longer he
would probably have been killed.

MURDER CHARGED
AGAINST CHINESE
TROUBLE EXPERIENCED FIND
ING INTERPRETERS
ONLY ONE IS SECURED BY THE
DEFENSE
Legal Battle Now Being Waged by
Attorneys for Three Accused
Men--School Teacher
a Witness

Department one of the superior court
was we'll filled with Chinese yesterday
when tie trial of Wong Chong, charged
with the murder of Lum Sing, Chi
nese tailor, In his shop, 500 Juan street,
on October IL last, was begun.
Arrayed on the side of the defense
Is the law firm of Davis, Rush & Will
lis, and associated witt. them is Attor-
ney r. A. Ling, while Deputy District
Attorney e. j. Fleming is aided by the
firm of Jarrett e. Farrell. But three
witnesses were examined yesterday,
DIR. George w. Campbell, who examined
the body OF the dead Chinese on the
night of the killing, being the first.
Mrs. Annie Brown WheelaD, teacher
of a mission school at Juan and Mar
chessault streets, told of the finding OF
a revolver in the school yard by school
children the Wednesday following the
shooting.
She said she was afraid of the weap-
on and did not pick it up, sending for a
male neighbor to take 1t to the police
station.
Patrolman w. E. Brown testified
concerning the arrest of Wong Chong,
Charles Wing and Sam Ling, all OF
whom are said to have been implicated
in the killing of Lum Sing. The two
latter are awaiting trial, Wong Chong
being made the first defendant because
it is said 1t was he who fired the shot.
The prosecution in the Chinese muir
der case finds itself up against dearth
of interpreters, and one only was In
the court room yesterday. This is
Chan Kui Sing, and he has been enn-
ployed by the defense.
A still hunt was made yesterday for
interpreters without success, and the
prosecution now miss more than ever
before the old ally and friend of the
police and county authorities, Joe
Sanders, who died late In December,
and who acted as interpreter in the
present case at the preliminary exam
ination before Police Justice Chambers.
One reason, and probably the princi-
pal one, for this shortage of men who
are capable of interpreting the Chinese
language is the fear that they them
selves may be made the victims of ad-
herents of the tong In which Wong
Chong is said to have been promi-
nent member.
