JAIL SENTENCE is
GIVEN TAXIDERMIST
BOOTH SEVERELY GRILLED
FOR Assault
Judge SummerfieId in Passing Sem
tence Arraigns Man for Brutal
Attack Against H Aged
Parents

Il do not wish to be unnecessarily
harsh with you, but there is nothing so
deplorable and inhuman as an assault
by child upon parent" said Justice
Summerfield yesterday when Andrew
G.. Booth, convicted Wednesday on a
charge of battery, appeared before him
for sentence.
Booth is a taxidermist. In his trial
Wednesday his mother, Mrs. James
Booth OF Highland Park, said he struck
her in the face, bit her fingers and
knocked her down after he had made a
vicious attack upon his father. In dis
posing of the case yesterday Justice
Summerfield severely arraigned Booth
and imposed a sentence of sixty days
in the county Jail.
1.-THE crime" said the justice, sis not
a serious offense, being termed in the
law only q misdemeanor, but | feel con
vinced that it was through no fault of
yours that you are not before me on a
charge of mayhem. l have but to at
tract your attention to the beasts of
the field and the VultureS of the air
In their wild state there is a bond of
natural devotion which impels the off
spring to fight for and protect its pa
rents. You have reversed the law of
nature and sunk to the incredible level
of turning upon and, in a most revolt
ing manner, using criminal violence
upon your aged parents, whom, at this
time, as they are about to step into the
shadow of eternity, you should protect
and provide for, and who have the
moral as well as the legal right to ex-
pect and receive from you kindness,
consideration and support"

Jack Hendrickson, a special officer
of Chester place. sustained fracture
of his left leg early yesterday morning

Hendrickson had just returned to his
home at $40 West Forty-third place
after finishing his nights work at
Chester place, when he was asked py
Dick Richardson to assist in saving a
horse with which he was struggling
from choking.
The bronco evidently was not as ac-
customed to civilized life as he would
be tied to a post in a corral. While
endeavoring to free himself the rope
around the animals neck had become
frightened and was slowly choking him
to death when he was noticed by Rich
ardson. The mustang was kicking fu-
riously.
Hendrickson. being a skilled horse
man. soon had the animal united and
free Just as he was in the act of
untying the rope one of the horses
hoofs struck the officer on the leg,
fracturing the bone.
Hendrickson was Immediately re-
moved to the receiving hospital, where
the fracture was reduced, and later
was removed to the California hos
pital.
When asked to talk about the acci-
dent, his only reply was, "Well, l
saved the horses life, anyway"
Hendrlckson was to have had full
charge of the Out West clubs division
of the Tournament of Roses and other
cowboys sports. 1t is not yet known
whether or not his injuries will pre-

He was held in custody but q few hours
and was released on $4,000 bonds fur-
nished by the United states Fidelity

The charge against Carter is that he

January that DR.. Carter pleaded guilty
to a charge of a similar nature beIore
Judge Wellborn of the United states
district court and was fined $500. At
that time Carter agreed not to continue
in any business of any sort through

CONTRACTORS DEMAND FOR
PART PAYMENT IS HELD UP
City Auditor Declares Specifications
for Sub-Police Station Were
Not Complied With

The city auditor yesterday returned
to the council without his approval a
demand of j. A. Crook for $3703.45, a
partial payment on the University sub
police station, for which Crook has the
contract. Failure to comply with the
specifications are the reasons given by
the auditor for his refusal to approve
the demand.
A demand by the same contractor
for a similar amount was recently held
up by the auditor on similar grounds,
and has resulted in an investigation
on the part of the board of public
works, which may result in complete
change in the citys system Of con-
structing public buildings.
In building the substation the con-
tractor failed to excavate as deeply as
the specifications demanded, and this
error was overlooked by the supervis-
ing architects. 1t is expected that
hereafter the city will dispense with
supervising architects and turn over
the work of supervision to a deputy
of the building department.

MAYOR REFUSES TO
APPROVE ORDINANCE
SAYS GATES ARE NECESSARY
ON PASADENA AVENUE
Last Act of Council Will Be to Con-
slider AIexander's Veto of the
Railway Safeguard
Measure

The outgoing council, which will hold
its last business meeting next Tues
day, will have to act on one more veto
of Mayor Alexander before it can close
it's books. This veto is directed
against the ordinance permitting the
Santa Fe to establish an electric bell
instead of gates at Pasadena avenue.
The mayor believes safety gates are
necessary.
The council recently passed ordi-
nances compelling the Santa Fe to es-
tablish these gates at Pasadena ave-
nue. and at Avenue Fifty. A. p Ma
ginnis. tax commissioner of the rail-
road, asked the council to change the
ordinance to permit of electric bells
as he considered them more satistac-
tory. The mayor considers bell at
Avenue Fifty sufficient, but believes
gate at Pasadena avenue necessary.
In his message he says:
81 return herewith, without my APP
proval, ordinance passed by your hon
orable body December IA, 1909, proVid-
ing for the establishment of signal
bell at the railroad crossing at Pasa-
dena avenue and Avenue ol, Tor the
following reasons:
'This Ordinance repeals ordinance
No. 1886 New Series), which provided
for the maintenance of gate at the
aforementioned crossing. Pasadena
avenue is one of the main thorough
fares between Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena and the traffic thereon is very
heavy. The railroad trains coming
down grade at this point travel at a
very high rate of speed and are a
menace to the public. Grade crossings
of main thoroughfares should be elm
mated; but until such time as they
are eliminated the railroads should be
compelled to provide proper safeguards
for the public.
Respectfully submitted,

HARB0R AND POWER BOND
ISSUES STILL UNSETTLED
Supreme Court Denies Writ of Man.
date and Two Legal Questions
Are Involved

The supreme court yesterday denied
the writ of mandate in the case of the
city of Los Angeles VS.. Harry j. Le-
lande, and the city attorney VIII have
to figure some other way to have the
courts pass on questions involved IN
the harbor and power bond issues.
Two legal questions have arisen IN
regard to these bond issues Can the
two issues be voted on at the same
election and are these bonds exempt
from the citys general bonding power?
The council passed the ordinance
calling the bond election for February
16, and in order that the legal points
might be passed on at once by the su-
preme court City Clerk Lelande re-
fused to publish the ordinance. The
city attorney then asked the supreme
court for "A writ of mandate to compel
the clerk to put the ordinance through
the regular process, but this the court
has refused.
The court holds that a. mandamus
proceeding is not the proper test of the
bond questions and some other means
will have to be employed.

CHEER AFTER BUSY DAY
Appointments Will Not Be Announced
Until the New Council Can

1t was tired Mayor Alexander that
went to his home yesterday evening
after a most strenuous day in his Of
flee. Before the day was over he had
talked to about 200 persons, either per-
sonally or over the telephone.
He has averaged about $50 personal
and telephone calls every day during
the past week. The biggest part of
them are from persons who are seek
ing places on his commissions either
for themselves or some of their friends.
But the mayor will not announce his
appointees until the~new council can
act on them. When they are named,
he guarantees. they will be of the
highest order of citizenship Los An
geles possesses. He said yesterday he
was not looking for commissioners who
were seeking the places. He wants the
men who have to be almost drafted,
as they are the best iii the community.
