SEVENTEEN WILLING
TO SERVE THE CITY
CANDIDATES GET PETITIONS
FROM CLERK
w. C. Mushet, George A. Smith and
o. E. Parish Are Candidates
for Mayor-Fourteen Would
Be Councilmen

Seventeen aspirants for political
honors secured petitions from the city
clerk yesterday and Immediately began
circulating them. Three of the can
didates are for the office of mayor and
fourteen for councilmen. This is not
by any means all the persons in Los
Angeles who have the political bee
buzzing in their bonnets hard enough
for them to imagine they can win in
the district primaries, but there still Is
plenty of time and the clerk has plenty
of petitions.
w. c. Mushet city\auditor. was the
first to secure a petition and he was
closely followed by George A. Smith.
Both these are candidates for mayor.
O. e. Parish also secured petition for
mayor.
The applicants for council are: b.
Healy, j. V. Walden, A. d. Houghton.
j. T. Lacey, A. c. Shafer, NJ. c. Ford
ham, c. T. Paul j. w. Reany, f. W.
Beaudezart, j. William Salter, w. e.
Mckee, Henry Lyon, S. A. Waldron
and Henry Yonkin.
OF these four already have had re-
cent experience in the council. A. d.
Eoughton was a member of the motor
ious riverbed franchise council and
Healy, Lyon and Yonkin are members
of tine present body.
OF the others. some are well and
faVorably known, some others never
were heard of before and probably
never would have been had it not been
for the direct primaries that give them
an equal chance with everybody else.
When the final count is taken after
the direct primary there will be two
candidates for mayor and eighteen
candidates for the council. Out OF
these two mayoralty candidates. one
will be selected and out of the eighteen
candidates for council, nine. There
still must be four candidates for coun-
ell before the required number for the
final ballot is secured but there prob
ably will be no difficulty in getting
enough.

SCARCITY OF BROKEN
ROCK DELAYS PAVING
CONTRACTORS UNABLE TO GET
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY
City Engineer Reports the Lack OF
Crushed Stone Prevents Rapid
Work on Strce 1t Improve
ments

Complaints are being made daily to
the board of public works that the
street improvements especially those
in which crushed rock is an essential
feature, are not being done with the
rapidity that is desired and the board
has in each case referred these com
plants to City Engineer Hamlin.
Yesterday the city engineer reported
the reason street improvements were
delayed was chiefly because the
crushed rock was hard to obtain. There
is such a demand for it that contrac-
tors experience much difficulty in get
ting the quantity and quality they
need. All the quarries tributary to
Los Angeles are working to full ca
pacity and yet are not able to sup
ply the demand. The railroads and
electric lines that transport this rock
use a large quantity themselves ana
get the rock for their own use whether
or not some contractor has to wait
Property owners on Adams, between
Vermont and Hoover, where an oiled
macadam pavement is being laid, have
objected vigorously to the delay in the
work. but it has been due to the con-
tractors failure TO secure sufficient
rock. About all the rock that is need
ed has been obtained now and the
work will proceed more rapidly.
The rock that has been laid for this
pavement has proved hard to manage.
In composition it complies with the
specifications. but it is smooth and
difficult to roll. When the steam rol-
ler is placed on it the rock squeezes
out in front, instead of biting into
the dirt. This difficulty will be over
come by placing some binding material
on the rock.

GARBAGE MATTER FINALLY
APPROACHES SETTLEMENT 7
Board of Public Works to Present
Resolution to City Council
for Adoption

After eight months of delay the gar
bage matter is getting to point where
it is near settlement. Tuesday the
board of public works will have the
necessary resolution ready to present
to the council for adoption, granting
the hotel and restaurant men the privi-
lege of taking care of their own gar
bage.
Fifteen days after this resolution is
published the board of public works
will have the right to advertise for
bids for the handling of the garbage.
But, if the future is to be judged by
the past it will be near the first of
the year before the garbage matter
is settled finally and the contract
awarded.
Under the resolution to be passed
by the council Tuesday, the hotel and
restaraunt men are allowed tifteen
days in which to present affidavits
and bonds that they will take care for
their own garbage in a sanitary man
ner. When these are on file the con-
tractor will know what he will have
TO handle and what some one else VII
handle and can make his bid accord

ECHO PARK ENCR0ACHES
ON ECHO PARK AVENUE
Strip of Land to Be Condemned in
Order to Make Street of
Uniform Width

Echo park seems to have acquired a
habit of spreading all over the sur
rounding landscape. Proceedings have
just been completed for the condemna
ton of land on the west siGe of Lake
Shore avenue TO make the street uni
form width, because the park had abb
sorbed part of the street on the east
side. This cost the city considerable
money.
Yesterday TIE city engineer reported
to the board of public works that Echo
Park avenue could not be improved
according to specifications, as the street
lines We're not proper. This is dut
to the fact that Echo park has over
flowed on to Echo Park avenue as ii
did ON Lake Shore avenue. The board
recommended TO the council that the
city attorney start proceedings to con-
denim land to make the street a uni
form width.

CHARGED THAT PATR0LMAN
WAS CONVICTED OF THEFT
Incident in Early Career of Policeman
Brown Is to Be Aired
Again

Charges We're preferred yesterday
against Patrolman +. A. Brown before
the civil service commission by Bozo
Navovich. In the charges it is alleged
that in July, 1906, when he first en-
tered the force Brown made affidavit
that he had never been convicted of
felony. All applicants for civil SER
vice positions are required to take this
oath.
The charges further allege that the
complainant heard Patrolman Brown,
under oath on the witness stand, say
that he had been. convicted OF theft. 1t
is further alleged that Brown took a
woman into a private room in a res
taurant and permitted her to wear his
star for a few minutes.
1t is believed that the charges are
the result of spite work. Brown was
implicated in the prosecution of the
proprietor of the Good Fellows grotto
for the Illegal sale of liquor During
the trial Brown did admit he had stolen
a ham from Il box car when a boy for
his mother. who was on the verge of
starvation, and had been convicted of
the theft.

THOMAS EDWARD HEANEY

Chief Deputy United States Marshal
George H. Burnham, accompanied by
Special Deputy United States Marshal
Shelly Inch.
Heaney claims that the forgery with
which he is charged was committed
about June l, according to the COM
plaint, and is at a loss to understand
why he was not arrested before, as he
stated he was in Los Angeles until two
weeks ago.
The warrant for the arrest of Lieut..
Mcfarland, alias Hoffman," was issued
August 4. and Heaney's arrest was the
result of a telegraphic dispatch from
Los Angeles.
According to advices from San Fran
cisco, Heaney is said to be a veteran
of the SpanishAmerican war, but he
stoutly asserts that he never served in
a military capacity officially. He also
claims there are two Harry Kings in
the army-Harry R. and Harry L.
King-and that if any impersonating
has been done in the past year he is
being made the scapegoat for someone
else

ALLEGE FRAUD IN
EXCHANGE OF LAND
COUPLE ASK MULTIPLICATION
OF $3.50 DEAL
Saying Agents and Owner Deceived
Them Man and Wife Petition
Court to Declare Transac-
ton Void

Alleging that they were made the
victims of a conspiracy and were in
duced to exchange real estate in Ar
kansas, Nevada and California for
329 acres of land in Kern county, Al
bert Spannagel and his wife, Lillian,
filed suit in the superior court yester-
day demanding a restoration to- them
of their former holdings. The defend
ants are: Frank L. Landes and D.
Marks, real estate brokers; l. r. Har-
ris, who claimed title to the Kern
county land, and f. E. Knapp, no
tary.
The Spannagels say the exchange
was made January 23, this year, Landes
and Marks acting as agents for Harris,
while Knapp affixed his notarial Ger
tifcate certifying to the genuineness
Of a deed to the land in Kern county.
Sometime after the transaction, the
Spannagels say, they discovered the
land was owned by the government
and that Harris had no interest in it.
They asked that the deal be declared
null or that the court render a judg-
ment in their favor of $3250. The
plaintiffs are represented by Attorneys
Watkins & Blodget.
