set to work at an attempt to support

A few days ago Deputy Shobe ar

few days before. Wednesday morning.
after looking into the matter, he Wis
tied the family home and stated that
he would have to take the girl to

and her mother that the girl would
be at tire Northern Pacific depot the
next morning yesterday he did not
take her into custody. But when It
came time to take the train no girl
was there. so the officer. somewhat
exasperated, repaired once more to
the girls home. There he was ac-
costed by. man who had arrived the
previous night from Drummond. This
man gave his name as Beck and stated
that he was the girls uncle. and stated
also that he had come to take care
of the family. But that had no effect
on the officers determination to take

of Justice of the Peace Dyson and
the officer took the warrant. He Wis
tied the house again. but was unable
to find the girl. He spent couple

a trace of her.
In the meantime the girl and Beck
had obtained marriage license at
the court house. the mother appearing

went to the office of Justice Of the

likely that the case will be dropped.

CITY ATTORNEY CONSIDERS
PROTEST AGAINST SHERMAN
Mayor Will Ask for Commissioners
Resignation Should Charges
Be Substantiated

In reply to a question relative to
his attitude on the Sherman matter,
Mayor Alexander yesterday declared
that several days ago he had submitted
the case to the city attorney and asked
his opinion. City Attorney Hewitt said
yesterday he had not had time to give
the matter proper consideration.
The Democratic league contends
that Gen. M. H. Sherman is not en-
titled to his place on the water board
because he is a stakeholder in the COM
pany that owns the Central building
where the aqueduct department leases
the eleventh floor. The city charter
prohibits any official from having a
beneficiary interest in any city con-
tracts.
ar some outsiders and especially one
of the newspapers had not interfered
in this matter it would have been
taken care of without undue fuss
about it," said the mayor yesterday.
IT have nothing personal against Gen.
sherman and II he Is notified that ne
has no legal right on the water board
have no doubt he will resign at once.
IF the city attorney tells me Gen.
sherman should not be on the board
I will ask him for his resignation with
ont delay. Should 1t develop that Gen.
sherman holds his place Illegally. 1t
will seem very much like resignlns
under fire on account of the unneces-
sary stir that has been made ABOUT the
matter"

SPECIFICATIONS FOR
GARBAGE CONSIDERED
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
TAKES UP MATTER
Incineration or Reduction Must Be
Outside City and Hog Feeding
One Mile from Limits
of City

The board of public works devoted
almost all of yesterday afternoon to
the consideration Of the new garbage
specifications and when the council
meets Tuesday these specifications will
be ready for adoption.
The specifications provide for three
ways of garbage disposal and con-
tractor may bid on any one of the
three. The proposition that appears
the best for the city will be accepted.
The three ways are incineration, re-
duction and hog feeding. 1t is ex-
pected hog feeders will agree to col
lect the city's garbage free OF COST or
at most on a small bonus. Inc re-
duction process will probably cost
little more than will the hog feedlng
method, as the garbage is reduced Tor
fertilizer and soap grease, While the
incineration will be the most expensive
of the three. In case Of inclnerauon
the citys incinerator is not to be USED
but the contractor must provide MS
own burning plant. The cltys mem
orator is to be used for burning rup-
Dish and dead animals, unless ueau
animal contract is let also
In any event, the board OF pupllc
works and the council do not propose
that Los Angeles citizens are to sur
fer any longer by garbage disposal as
residents of the Sixth ward nave Done
Incinerator or reduction must be OUT
side the city limits and hog feealns
must be not less than one mile from
the city limits. The mile provision
will eliminate the trouble the sixth
ward residents have had with h log
ranches in Vernon. 1t is alleged lo,VUO
hogs are raised in pens Just over the
line of the city limits in the SOUTH
eastern part of the city and the stehGn
has become unbearable. Not ohIy -
the sixth ward affected, but When tIe
wind is from the south, all Bo the
Heights feels like Jumping for the

REQUEST TO CHURCH
CAUSES LITIGATION
COURT TO DETERMINE VALID
ITY OF WOMAN'S WILL
Members of First New Testament
Congregation Defendants in
Action Filed by the
Husband

Several members of the First New
Testament church, 139 West Fifth
street, over which the Rev. Joseph
Smale presides as pastor, must respond
i'll a contest over the will of the late
Susan L. Andrews if they hope to Sc
cure the probate of the document and
the carrying out of it's provisions, in
Guiding among other things, requests
of various sums for foreign and home
mission work in which the church is
engaged.
The contest was filed in the probate
department of the county clerks Of
flee yesterday by Mrs. Andrews sur
viving husband, ]. Q. Andrews OF
Glendale. He was bequeathed only
500 by his wife. nearly all the re-
mainder of her estate, valued at about
$4,000 being left to the Rev. Mr.. Smale
for use in mission work. Undue influ-
ence, according to Mr.. Andrews, was
exercised to induce his wife to frame
her will in the manner in which it was
prepared
Mrs. Andrews died in Glendale April
25 last, after long period of illness.
Her will, dated February 20 of this
year, was filed for probate few days
later. To her adopted daughter, Mrs.
Parker Kilgore of Upland, Cal, she
bequeathed a house and lot in Glen
dale, and 500 to her husband. The
executors, the Los Angeles Trust COM
pany, were instructed to sell the re-
mainder of her estate, consisting of
house and lot at 422 East Thirty
eighth street and a half interest in
property located at zoos East Fifty
first street $500 of the proceeds to be
given to the Rev. Mr.. Smale to be
used in carrying on the work and pur-
poses of the South Chinese mission,
and 5000 to be used by the pastor for
the work in which his church is en-
gagged in Jerusalem. The remainder
was to be paid by the Rev. Mr.. Smale
to the Los Angeles City Mission.
Mr.. Andrews in his contest says MS
wife was induced to leave her Glendale
home last summer and take up her res
idence with Mrs. Elizabeth Danforth
at her home on West Eleventh street.
There she remained month, he says,
during which time she was under tho
control and influence of r. G. Haskell
and Eliza Ford, members of the New
Testament church, and Cora Chase and
Belle Human, attendants at, the church
services and prominent in church work.
"They told her that her husband was
old and would soon pass out of this
life and that $500 was entirely suffi-
cient to supply all his needs for the
short time he probably would live; that
if she gave him her money 1t would go
to his children by a former wife, and
that he and the children had no regard
or affection for her" are some of the
statements Mr.. Andrews alleges were
made to his wife by the persons mem
toned in his contest papers.
Mr.. Andrews also claims a right to
his wife's property by reason of an
agreement which, he says, was entered
into between them in May 1904, by
which Mrs. Andrews was to be given
title to all property accumulated by
them after that date, and in return she
promised to bequeath her entire estate
to her husband, should he survive her.
Hearing of the matter is set for May "a.

CORNER FERRY SERVICE

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 19.-Ori-
entail instinct for money making is
the cause for cornering the ferryboat
service to the Japanese warships. White
visitors to the cruisers find they have
to travel to the visiting fleet by gaso-

the Japanese or not go at all. The
Japanese chartered the visible supply
early, and the bay was brown the day
through with .the mikado's men going
back and forward from the ships.
Last night the Japanese reception
committee presented the officers of the
Sixth regiment with a great loving cup
in appreciation of the efforts Of the
military men to make the visit pleas
