ANIMAL LEAGUE ASKS
FOR SHARE OF TAXES
WANTS S7100 OF MONEY Sc
CURED FROM DOG OWNERS
Canine Board Said to Legally Entitled,
but Some Members of Council
Are Unwilling to Pay
Claim

The Humane Animal league in it's
management of the dog pound has en-
countered a difficulty the second week
after it has taken charge of that in
stitution.
The council yesterday sent to the
city attorney for approval claim pre-
scented by the Humane Animal league
for $7100 as its portion of the dog
licenses for this year
A number of the members of the
council, led by Councilman Lyon, is
in favor of paying this claim and an
other faction led by Councilman Drom-
gold is opposed to it.
Under the terms of the contract be-
tween the city and the league, the lat
ter is entitled to this sum of money.
The contract specifies the league shall
be paid rs per cent of the tax money
received from licenses for dogs from
the first day of June, the beginning
of each fiscal year.
The claim presented yesterday is for
the portion of the license money from
June 1 of the present fiscal year. The
league under it's contract. has every
legal right to this money, but Council
man Dromgold believes it has no
moral right until it has done more
work than it has accomplished up TO
the present time.
Under the terms of the same con-
tract, if the money is not paid over
for the present fiscal year, the league
must continue to keep up the animal
pound and the Pasadena system for
treating dogs at its own expense until
the first of next June, when 1t will be
entitled to receive rs per cent of the
dog taxes collected in the next fiscal
year. The remaining portion of this
fiscal year, under such a plan, would
be dead loss to the league. There is
nothing in the contract which specl-
fies payment may be made from the
time the league took hold of the dog
pound.
Dromgold holds in paying the league
for this year from June 1 the city is
being doubly assessed, as George B.
Vacher, former dog catcher, has al
ready been paid his fees to the time
the league assumed charge of the
pound.
AS most of the council members seem
to favor the leagues claim and no
member wishes that philanthropic
body to sustain a loss, the claim prob
ably will be paid next Monday.

SECOND TRIAL HELD
IN CONTEST OF WILL
SUPREME COURT SENDS BACK
INGERS0LL CASE
Judgment Given in Favor of Dece-
dents Husband Reversed on Tech
nicaI Grounds and Account
ing Demanded

A second trial of the contest over
the estate of Mrs. Rosetta S. Ingersoll,
who died five years ago while on a
visit to her home at Racine, Wis, leav-
ing property near Monrovia which has
since increased in value from 100000
to almost ten times that amount, was
begun before Judge Bordwell yester-
day. The Title Insurance & Trust COM
pany and Mrs. Ingersolrs sitser and
brother are the plaintiffs and c. X. In
gersoll widower of the deceased, the
defendant.
Three weeks before her death Mrs.
Ingersoll filed suit against her hus-
band for divorce on the ground of
cruelty. About the same time she
made a will, leaving one-third of her
estate to Mrs. Louise M. Deacon, a
sister, and the remainder to her
brother, L. j. Elliott. Judge Gibbs of
the superior court rendered a decision
in favor of Ingersoll, but the suit has
been sent back from the supreme court
on technical grounds and the second
trial is now in progress.
The Title Insurance and Trust COM
pany, which was appointed special adj
ministrator of the estate, seeks an ac-
counting from Ingersoll. The trial will
be resumed today.

SMOKES CIGAR WHILE
WFE'S HOUSE BURNS.
VETERAN ON TRIAL, ACCUSED
OF STARTING BLAZE
Prosecution Asserts sawtelIe Couple
Had Quarreled and Insists That
Prisoner Deliberately Caused
Disastrous Fire

F. NJ. Drummond. a veteran from
Sawtelle, who nonchalantly smoked
cigar while he watched his wife's new
two-story house burn, was placed on
trial before jury in department one
of the superior court yesterday, charged
with arson.
The fire started about $3.50 o'clock,
the morning of July Is, under the
sleeping room of Mrs. Carrie Drum
mond, the veterans wife. According
to G. Ray Horton, deputy district at
torney. who Is prosecuting the case
there is plenty of evidence to snow
that Drummond not only struck the in
cendiary match. but distributed in
fiammable material in different parts
of the building. The two-story build
ing and a small cottage were de-
stroyed.
witnesses called by the prosecution
include a party of five campers, VINO
were attracted by the blaze While on
their way from Los Angeles to Santa
r. B. Healy and H. L. Healy, brothers
testified yesterday. They saw Drum
mond in the vicinity of the burning
house. they said and he appeared IN
different, as he was unconcernedly
smoking a cigar and putting forth no
effort to prevent a spread of the fre.
Some time before the fire Drummond
and his wife had become estranged, fol-
lowing a quarrel over business, and
during the preliminary hearing the
prosecution sought to introduce Will
made by Mrs. Drummond by the terms
of which, it is said, Drummond was to
receive her entire estate. An effort to
introduce this instrument in the trial,
it is believed, will be contested by At
torneys Carson and Miller, Drummond'
counsel.
Because of the law which precludes a
wife from testifying against her hus-
band, the story of the domestic trou-
bles in the Drummond home. which, it
is claimed, led to the firing of the
wife's property, will not be told by

CITY EMPLOYEES MAY LOSE
SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAYS
Agitation by Engineers Department

of Privilege

AS a result of the attempt of the
field force of the city engineers de-
partment to secure a half holiday
Saturdays, the same as the other city
employees, all the city employees may
lose this perquisite.
While a state law compels all mu-
nicipal offices to close Saturday after
Moons there is no mandate in the
measure which provides the city en-
ployes may not work all the afternoon.
Councilman Dromgold CONSTITUTES the
law to mean the offices shall be closed
to the general public at noon Satur
days.
The council postponed action for
week on the claim for overtime made
by Vincent Morgan, formerly of the
engineers department. 1t is this
claim which brought up the question
of the Saturday half holidays for en-
pioyes of this department.

ARRIVAL OF DRAFT LEADS

Former Clerk of Western Bank Note
Company, Charged with EmbezzIe-

Made Restitution

The opportune arrival of a registered
letter containing a draft for $500 ended
the preliminary hearing of Albert L..
Alderman yesterday.
Alderman was charged with embez-
zling $500 from the Western Bank Note
company while in its employ. The
hearing was in progress when the let
ter with the draft inclosed was hand
ed to him and a request for contin-
uance was granted Immediately. Later

he heartily Endorsed the proposition for
local control of the harbor.
"a commission appointed from the
state will not have the enterprise and
initiative that such a body appointed
by the interested municipalities would
have" said Capt. Fries.
That local control is legal was shown
by a letter which Capt. Fries read
from the attorney general of the state,
in which he declared the 100000 bonds
issued by Wilmington for Improvement
of the inner harbor were perfectly
legal and would be bought by the state
school fund.
Senator Wright had raised the ques-
tion of the legality of local control,
declaring the titles to tidelands were
vested in the state. and he doubted
the states ability to confer titles to
municipalities.
Local Control Legal
T. E. Gibbon explained that this
would be done the same as in the case
of city streets. The title to the city
street is vested in the state govern
ment as a highway, but the munich
pality has the right to improve it and
use 1t for local purposes. Mr.. Gibbon
said he was absolutely in favor of
local control, as the history of the
world where harbors were concerned
had proved the value of such control
He declared it was not possible to go
into the state and select men who
would have the intimate personal in
terest in San Pedro that local men
would have. Another matter which
Mr.. Gibbon suggested was that suits
had been begun already to recover
title to 1900 acres of tidelands at San
Pedro and Wilmington, claimed by
private corporations, and the appoint
ment of a state harbor commission for
San Pedro would interfere with the
successful and speedy prosecution of
these suits.
Similar sentiments were expressed by
all who discussed. the matter before
the committee. Senator Savage alone
taking exception. AS annexation or
consolidation with Los Angeles is an
almost integral part of the harbor
control question, this was also dis
cussed, more or less.
President Brennan of the Whining
ton board said he believed his city
was favorable to consolidation with
Los Angeles but this was a question
of the future. Senator Savage of San
Pedro said that as soon as Los Angeles
was ready to present a proposition for
the borough system of government for
San Pedro and other consolidated cities
he would not only vote for the measure.
but would introduce 1t to the leeis-
lature and do his utmost to secure its
passage.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the committee.

PRosPEcToR BECOMES INSANE;

"Ka IA a lap du dapa ma III du,"

guage used by E. l.. Hahmann when

Hahmann is a prospector, who for
