peared in Justice Selph's court yester-
day, accompanied by her stepmother

mer charged with extreme cruelty.
The child was brought to Los An
geles from Hobart station by her
father ON Wednesday and placed In

her stepmother, land sometimes struck
me in the face with her fist. There
are some of the marks" and she ex-
posed one small limb showing the
marks of recent bruises

chickens and deserved punishment.

jail in default of $500 ball. and will ap-
pear this morning for sentence.

DREDGERS FACE
BASIN PROBLEMS
Ship Channel Digging Begins Next
Month with Clamsheli and Suction
Harbor Apparatus-Draw-
bridge Necessity

Work on the Los Angeles HarboI
company's dredging at San Pedro must
commence by October 16, this being one
of the clauses under which the Atlantic
Gulf g. Pacific company won the con-
tract.
A ship channel will be dredged in the
west basin of the inner harbor of San
Pedro.
For some distance the channel will
be east of the Southern Pacific and
Pacific Electric tracks, extending from
the turning basin, where the govern
ment dredger is now operating.
Eventually drawbridge must be in
stalled by the railroad companies.
Just how the contractors will get a
dredger into the west basin, which is
now cut off, is problem for them to
settle.
Probably a clam shell dredger will
be used on the first 100000 cubic yards
to build up mud bulkhead along the
water front, where the Harbor company
has a lease.
Later suction dredge will be used tc
pump the sand and silt from the ocean
,ttom behind the bulkhead, thus hAslk-
ing new land.

IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATIONS
SEEK CITYS ACQUAINTANCE

Improvement associations of the city
are considering plan for winter meet
ings which will give them broader
acquaintance with the city generally
They do not propose to neglect their
local work, but in several clubs 1t has
been suggested that federation idea
of interchange of visits might be worked
out which would be of benefit to the
entire city.
No definite action on this line has
been taken, as no club has yet taken
the initiative. The idea which seems to
meet with greatest favor makes fol-
visits by members of one or several
associations at the meeting of another
in a. different section eff the city. In
addition to talks by members of both
home and visiting associations 1t Is pro-
posed to have city officials and others
prominent in municipal activities make
speeches. In this way the harbor,
auueduct charter revision and other
large questions may be considered from
a broader outlook than by sectional
organization meeting alone.

Prominent Los Angeles Democrats
were engaged yesterday in endeavoring
to arouse sentiment to get additional
representation for Southern California
in the California supreme court.
The vacancy caused by the death of
Justice Thomas B. Mcfarland will be

to urge Cyrus McNutt as their choice
for the honor.
The Republican state committee is
sued call to reconvene the state con-
vention, and similar action Is expected
from the Democratic state committee.
With probably a third OF the states
population residing south of the Te-
hachapi and with peculiar water and
irrigation questions arising 1t Is felt
that more than one of the seven MEM
bers on the bench should come from
below the Tehachapi.

ALBANY, West-Australia, Sept. 1S.-
The American fleet under the COM
mand of Rear Admiral Sperry left here
at o'clock this evening for Manila,
$500 miles away, where it Is due to ar
rive October2 or 3.
The flagship Connecticut did not
leave with the other vessels, but she
will depart at midnight and overtake
the rest of the fleet tomorrow. She was
delayed by coaling operations. She
will pass Rott Nest island, near Free
mantle, at IL o'clock Sunday morning.
The fleet is making nine knots an
hour. The delay of one day hefe-fhe
vessels were scheduled to leave yester-
day-was occasioned by the unrelia-
bility of the chartered colliers, cir
cumstance which in time of war might
be attended with most serious results.
Rear Admiral Sperry has dispatched
the following message to Alfred Dea-
kin. the premier of the commonwealth.
in reply to the communication sent by
the premier yesterday wishing the
Americans God speed on the continu-
ance of their voyage to home waters:
"I thank you most heartily for the
cordial greetings sent in the name OF
the government and people or the COM
monwealth and we warmly and respon-
sively reciprocate your good wlsnes.

extended to us during our stay In Aus,

gregation-Wonderful
Beasts Shown

No one competent to express an
opinion of the subject ever questioned
the claim that the menageries of Bar
mum & Bailey's Greatest Show on
Earth" contained the biggest and
rarest collection of rare wild beasts
ever moved by road or rail.
Among the additions are to be seen
an extraordinary and unprecedented
number of African antelopes and
springboks. Another ponderous am
phibious attraction is the biggest
known living Nile hippopotamus, which
was purchased with his late mate
twenty-five years ago, has grown from
a blessed baby of five hundredweight
to tip the scales at five tons, and.
strange to relate, though naturally a
tender tropical creature, has become
acclimated to live long and prosper in
waters whose temperature would just
suit the polar bears.
The five double herds of biggest, lit
tlest and brightest elephants-whose
united ages it has been computed
would reach from the beginning of
the first pyramid to the completion of
the last skyscraper-the Sultan droves
of gigantic and sacred camels and
dromedaries, the group of giraffes, the
great double dens filled with an inter-
continent congress of splendid speci-
mems of everything worth seeing, will
be here Tuesday and Wednesday next,
and you will have full hour in which
to inspect them and enjoy the popular
promenade concert by a fine military
and arenic band before the brilliant
circus and hippodromatic performances
are announced.

FROM PULLMAN co.
PASSENGER GETS REDRESS IN
SUM OF S299

Full Judgment in the jurisdiction of

ed by Justice Stephens to DR.. A. B.
Loce in his suit against the Pullman
company for $299, on account of injury
to his health caused, he said, by the
lack of accommodations when travel
ing from Cincinnati to Los Angeles a
year ago.
DR.. Loce says he was induced to
travel to this city by a certain route
because Of the advertisements put out
by the Illinois Central and Southern
Pacific companies that they would run
converted Pullman" car to Los An
geles without change and provided
with special accommodations for tour
lists. When they reached New Orleans,
he said, the passengers were asked TO
cross the ferry, paying their own fare,
and board another car on the Southern
Pacific line. DR.. Loce and others re-
fused, and the car was placed on the
Southern Pacific tracks. The car, he
said, was dilapidated and unfit for use
When they reached Ell Paso, Texas,
the car inspector expressed surprise
because there had been no accident.
Then the passengers were told to board
another car, but when they did so those
already occupying the latter protested,
and the unfortunates were forced to
seek the shelter of train shed. Drip
ping from head to foot after travelling
through q heavy rain, they were finally
ushered into chair car, in which they
travelled to a point in Arizona. and
were thence transferred to a tourist
sleeper.
DR.. Loce, who is II years old, says
he has suffered greatly from rheuma-
tism since his experience. Pullman
cars, he said, were plentiful, but 50 was
demanded from each passenger for
their use,

Contracts were let yesterday by the
democratic county committee to install
an aerdome on the leased lot on South

that they be leveled off Immediately.
Some distinguished Democrat will
open the WigWam soon.

TASTE FOR LITERATURE
LANDS WOMAN IN JAIL
Intruder Whose Actions Proclaim Her
Insane Enjoys Pictures and Books
In Private House Without
invitation

An unidentified woman, who is un-
able or refuses to give her name, was
taken to the detention ward of the
receiving hospital last night to be held
pending an inquiry into her mental
condition. The woman, who was plain
ly dressed, walked into the residence
of 1. L. Hibbard, 906 Westlake avenue,
and began looking at the pictures and
books in the front room.
She would not utter a word and re-
fused to leave the house. A policeman
was sent for and she was sent to the
receiving hospital. There also she re-
fused to talk and when asked her name
and place of residence merely laughed
at her interrogators.
