COURT MAY.HEAR
OF JAIL CONDITIONS
SOCIETY WOMAN SUES FOR
HEAVY DAMAGES
Girl Recently Arrested Says She
Nearly Lost Reason as Result of
Her Experience and Brutal
Treatment

The filthy condition of the city Jail
will In all probability soon be described
in the superior court, as the result of a
suit filed yesterday by Grace ellis
against Mrs. Mable M. Folts and Ed M
Grail, who she charges conspired on
January Il to cause her arrest and i'm
prisonment on charge of stealing a
sum of money.
Mrs. ellis in her complaint declares
that she was arrested by the police
without a warrant and locked up in a
vile and unhealthy JAIL" She was con-
fined in place. she says, which was
filed with uncanny, unusual and hide
Gus sounds; the noise of tramping and
the moving of feet and heavy chains;
the clanking of iron doors and gates.
These, she says, were of terrifying
character, and she became so fearful
her reason was endangered and she suf-
fered from severe attack of nervous
prostration.
Miss ellis says while she was in the
city Jail she repeatedly tried to get word
to her brother, who is student In the
University of Southern California, but
the police, she declares, restrained her
from using the telephone and brutally
refused her requests to do so.
She says she has never before been
arrested, and sues for damages in the
sum of $25, 600.

BOY STRAYS FROM HOME;

Six-Year-oId Edmond Grant Starts
Off with Twenty-Five Cents
to See the Great
World

With desire for car ride to Long
Beach, where he had once before been
taken on a visit by his parents, little
Edmond Grant, 6 years old, wandered
away from his home in this city yes
terday.
He started with 25 cents in his pocket.
He went down town and spent 15
cents of the quarter for candy, when
the notion struck him that he would
like to go to Long Beach,, so, with as
much as a dime left for his fare, he
boarded the car for the seaside town.
When the conductor called for his
fare he was surprised to learn the lad
was somewhat shy in the price of a
ticket.
Mrs. Uhl. who resides in Long Beach,
was a passenger and became inter-
ested in the youngster and paid his
fare.
She learned from him his parents
live on Forty-sixth street, this city,
but owing to his age 1t was impossi-
BILE to obtain any definite address.
Mrs. Uhl lives at apartment IA. Gym
thia Annex, Long Beach, where the
lad may be found.

REPUBLICAN, CONGRESSMAN
HOPE TO AGREE ON BILL

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-The Re-
publican members of the committee on
banking and currency entered today
on a series of conferences by which 1t
Is hoped to reach an agreement re-
garding the recommendation to the
house of a currency bill at this session.
A feeling exists among the members
that the country's financial system,
embracing the fluctuations of national
prosperity, is the issue on which the
coming presidential campaign will be
fought and that the sort of currency
bill to be passed at the present session
OF congress will determine in q great
measure the shape of the financial
plank to Le inserted in the Republican
platform at Chicago.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee are therefore very anxious to
go before the house with an unbroken
front in reporting favorably q currency
bill. Thus far some rather wide differ
ences of opinion have characterized
the attitude of the majority members.
1t is in the hope of closing these
breaches, that the conference series
was inaugurated today.
1t Is the general understanding that
the Democratic members of the COM
mittee will gubnlit a minority report
recommending the passage of the
minority currency bill introduced re-
Gently by Representative John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi, no matter
whether the Republicans finally agree
to recommend the Fowler bill or some
other measure in it's place.

WAGON BREAKS, CAUSING
TIEUP OF STREET CARS
Gravel Piles on Track and Crews Are
Compelled to Labor with
ShoveIs in Order to
Clear Way

One of the most singular causes for
delay occurred at Seventh and Hill
streets yesterday afternoon about 1890
o'clock. when some ten southbound cars
on Hill street were detained a quarter
Of an hour by pile of gravel which
had been dumped accidentally on the
tracks at that point.
Westlake car S74 was coming along
when just in front of 1t a city gravel
wagon passed. The Earring of the
wagon when it passed over the tracks
may have been the cause, but lust as
the vehicle was poised over the south
bound track the wagons mechanism
was wrenched loose so the automatic,
floor fell open and unloaded the entire
pile of gravel. The cars were blocked
fifteen minutes, the gravel settling over
the track solidly.
Armed with shovels. Conductor j.
Ward and Motorman Tom Maloney OF
the Westlake car patiently pitched the
"snowdrift" aside, and the crews from
the other trollies, stalled behind them
were collected around them and offered

committee on territories today favor
ably reported bill limiting the dura-
ton of leasing of agricultural lands In
Hawaii to fifteen years.
The committee also favorably report
ed a bill authorizing the payment of

Remove Unsatisfactory
Employees
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-THE legis-
lative, executive and judiciary appro-
priation bill, one of the large supply
measures of the government, was
passed by the house today after sew
eral days discussion. The amount
carried by it is practically as reached
by the committee, $32,336,573.
There was a lively debate over the
provision giving discretion to heads of
departments to remove or reduce inca
pacitated employees OF the government.
When the provision was reached Mr..
Goulden of New York made a point
OF order against it.
The chair sustained Mr.. Goulden's
point of order.
The provision accordingly went out
OF the bill, but Immediately afterward
the house adopted the following by way
of substitutes: 1.-THE appropriations
herein made for the officers, clerks and
persons employed in the public serv-
ice shall not be available for the COM
pensation of any person incapacitated
for performing the service for which
such person has been employed"
The chair ruled out as not legisla-
ton an amendment by Mr.. CLANCY OF
Indiana, providing for the payment of
pensions at so per cent of their SAL
aries to al persons discharged under
the sub-provision adopted, and an as
aessment of one-half of l per cent per
annum of the salaries of employees re-
tanned, to constitute a fund out of
which pensions are to be paid.

stir when he offered an. amendment
exempting from the provisions of the
law employees who served in the army
or navy of the United States during
the war of the rebellion, or who, as
members of state militia organizations,
aided in suppression of the rebellion,
and the widows of such persons"
The amendment was lost by the
chairs ruling that it was offered too
late.
The reading of the bill was con-
cluded and it was about to pass when
Mr.. Hitchcock of Nebraska moved to
have it reccmmitted with instructions
to report it back with an amendment
requiring the secretary of the depart
raent of commerce and labor to cause
It to be included in the reports of spe-
oial agents investigating trade condi-
tons abroad, information showing the
prices at which American made goods
are sold abroad to merchants and at
Ietail.''

the bill was passed.
Following the passage of the legis-
iative appropriation bill the house re-
sumed consideration of the resolution
to refer the presidents message to
congress to the respective committees.
General debate was declared closed.
altar Mr.
Payne had agreed to report at an early
date another one similarly referring
