ALLINGER'S
in REGARDS TO MATTERS in
HIS JURISDICTION.
Returns to National Capital After Tour
Of West Making Investigations De
clares no Water Sites on Public Do
main Have Been Secured by Private
Parties-Indian Schools in Bad Shape.

Secretary Ballinger of the depart
ment of the interior, who has returned
to Washington, D. c., after an extern
sive tour of inspection of the public do
main and interests in the west under
the jurisdiction of his department, has
given out statement which is regarded
as declaration of his policy as to these
matters.
The statement is written in the
third person and takes up the various
features of the department IS work, de-
voting particular attention to the va
rious reclamation enterprises and es-
pecially to water power sites on the
public domain.
The secretary reiterates ''without
fear of contradiction the statement
hitherto made in his behalf, that since
his incumbency no water power sites
on the public domain, heretofore
withdrawn, have been secured by pri-
vate parties and that he has energet-
ically made every effort, by temporary
Withdrawals, to segregate existing
power sites on the public domain in
order to enable the congress to legis-
late for their more prudent DISPOSE
ton. -
Complete Existing Projects.
Respecting reclamation work the
studies made by the secretary have
inspired him, the statement says,
with an ambition to complete exist
ing projects as rapidly as business
prudence and moneys available will
permit, and he is earnestly in favor of
securing authority from congress for
the issuance of bonds against the
reclamation funds to give the service
the means whereby all existing projects
can be speedily completed and neces-
sary extensions undertaken.
The secretary declined to discuss any
phase of the controversy regarding con
servation policies which has been re-
ported as existing between him and Gift
ford Pinehot, the government forester.
He made it plain that he will deal with
conservation IN his annual report, to
which he soon will give attention.
Indian Schools Disgrace.
The condition of some of the Indian
schools inspected was described by the
secretary cas- "disgrace to the ma
tion." He declared some of them were
nothing but mere rat traps, foul with
age and unsanitary. He is in full ac
cord with the commissioner of Indian
affairs In his attempt to overhaul the
field service and secure greater eff
cheney. and more pronounced advance
ment of the Indians.
The secretary is emphatic in his com
mendation of the personnel of the en-
glneers and subOrdinates in the reclama-
ton service, and for the high type of
construction and durability of the work
On the various projects, for which they
are responsible, as well as their gen |
eral efficiency and integrity.
The secretary is DESTROYS that the
work shall be prosecuted with such dis. |
patch as to enable the government to
avail itself of the appropriation and |
beneficial use of waters in the western |
states, where large undertakings NAV
be availed of, and which, he saws. are
generally not within the ability of pri.
rate enterprise.

"PAWNSHOP" WIFE
MAY GO TO PRISON
MAKES VERBAL ATTACK ON
JUSTICE
Pleads Guilty to Disturbing Peace and
Will Be Sentenced Today.
Gained Notoriety by
Marriage

Bertha Kuhns, who two years ago
gained some notoriety as the pawn
shop" wife of Samuel B. Kuhns of
Glendora, was arrested yesterday and
taken to the police station, where she
pleaded guilty before Justice Chambers
on a charge of disturbing the peace.
She will be sentenced today.
Mrs. Kuhns for several days has
haunted the little court room of A. L.
Stephens, township justice, who gave
judgment against her in a claim and
weeks ago.
II think she has been working her
self up into fit of anger" said
Charles Thomas, deputy constable,
after the womans arrest yesterday.
Mrs. Kuhns feelings dubbed over
when Justice Stephens left his bench
at noon, and when he reached the COR
rdor he was made the object of an
outpouring of VituperatiOn and cpl
thets which only a resentful woman
can employ. She then turned her YER
bal batteries of censure on her attor-
ney, who incontinently fed. Her arrest
followed.
Kuhns application for the annul-
ment of his marriage to Mrs. Kuhns
was denied by Judge Houser of the
superior court early this month He
claimed he was induced to marry her
on account of the Misrepresentation
of a pawnbroker, who first persuaded
him to buy a wedding ring and few
hours later furnished the woman who
was to wear it. Mrs. Kuhns, he told
the court influenced him to give her
a decd to 100 acres of land in Minne-
sofa and then refused to live with him.

AYERS MAN ROBBED
Her IN CHURCH PEW
A. M. Morton Must Answer in Superior
Court Charge of Theft COM
mitted in Place of
Worship

A. NJ. Morton, charged with stealing
a small amount of money from the
purse of Mrs. Helen Taylor of 636 West
Fifteenth street while the latter was
kneeling at the altar rail at Christ
Episcopal church May 16, was given his
preliminary hearing before Police JUS
tice Williams yesterday afternoon and
held to answer to the superior court
on a charge Of larceny. Morton was
unable to furnish $500 bail and was
sent back to Jail.
After Morton's case had been finished
Mrs. Anna Tecktonius of 1912 San
Julian street walked over to where
Morton was sitting in the prisoner s
dock and asked him what he had done
with three rings he had taken from her
purse. Morton was i'll at ease and de-
MED having any knowledge of the jew
elry.
Mrs. Tecktonius had identined Nor
ton as the man who she declares stole
a watch, three rings and $24 from her
purse, which she had laid on the
cushion of her pew in st. Vibianis
cathedral while making her confession
February 81.
She told the police that Morton spoke
to her as she entered the church, and
from his actions she thought he was a
sexton or a church attendant. Later,
when she kneeled in her pew, he occu
pied the seat behind her. She laid her
purse by her side and later discovered
that it had been opened and the con-
tents taken. Morton had disappeared,
she said.
Mrs. Tecktonius will swear to COM
plant against Morton charging him

r. L. McCulloch, a fire Insurance
agent, having an Office at 617 Laughlin
building, made an attempt to end his
/ life by inhaling gas from a small heat
err in the parlor of his home at 1856
Dalton avenue. Dependency because
of domestic difficulties is thought to
have prompted the attempt at suicide.
McCulloch was found lying on the
| floor, face downward, by Patrolman c..
r. McMurray. The latter was passing
| the house at the time and heard loud
! groans. He entered the house and
found the room filled with gas and Nc
| Culloch unconscious on the floor with
| his face near the stove from which the
! gas was pouring in q volume.
The officer notified the central police
station and then summoned DR.. w. 7.

! administered restoratives and remained
with the unconscious man until the
arrival of the police ambulance.

JAPANESE CAPTURED IN
RAID WILL FIGHT CASES
Prisoners Form Pool of $4,000 to De-
fend Liquor Ordinance Viola-
ton Charges

Nearly a hundred Japanese thronged
Police Justice Williams court room
yesterday morning and the entire
morning session of the court was
given to the cases of the forty-four
Japanese, almost half of which are
women, who were arrested Sunday in
raids by the police ON fifteen resorts
conducted by the Japanese, on charges
of violating the liquor ordinance.
The justice, the clerk and the bailiff
passed a busy morning writing the dn-
ficult names of the prisoners, and when
the last case had been called an audible
sigh of relief came simultaneously
from the three men.
Two of the accused pleaded not
guilty and asked for trial by jury.
The others asked for time to plead
and were allowed several days in when
to enter pleas.
That the japanese intend to fight she
case bitterly is evident from state
ment by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Seymour, to the effect that II ac-
cused have formed a pool of $4,000 and
will use this amount and more if neees-
sary to win.

CHINESE TAKES vow NEVER
TO STEAL PEANUTS AGAIN
Pays in Police Court Thirty Dollars
for lndiscretion of Taking
Ten-Pound Sack

All Louie evidently has come to the
conclusion that it is much cheaper to
Pay for peanuts than to steal them.
The Chinese was passing the stall Of
Marston & Martin, produce merchants,
at the Los Angeles market, Third
street and Central avenue, and took
a ten-pound sack of peanuts without
the formality of paying for them. He
was detected in the act and after a
short chase was overtaken. He pleaded
guilty in Police Justice Chambers
court yesterday and was fined $50. He
paid the fine and left the court room
muttering something in Chinese, which
If interpreted, would be to the effect
that it was never again for him.

SPOKANE RATE CASE
AFFECTS ANGELENOS
ALL COAST CITIES CONCERNED
IN DECISION
Freight Tariffs from Pacific Slope to
Interior Are Greater Than for
Haul in Opposite
Direction

Pacific coast shipping points are
deenlv concerned in the ultimate eff
feet of the ruling of the interstate COM
merce commission in the now famous
Spokane case, as 1t is asserted the
rate from coast points to the interior
as compared to the rates from interior
points to the coast are out Oh pIoPol
ton.
In order to test the sentiment of the
coast cities conference is in session
in San Francisco which is attended by
REPRESENTATIVES, from Los Angeles, Port
land Seattle and San Francisco. This
conference will probably crystalline
into a concerted effort on the part OF
the coast cities to have the matter
placed in the proper light before the
interstate commerce commission. F. p.
Gregson, traffic manager for the Asso-
ciated Jobbers of this city, is attend
ing the meeting as the representative
of Los Angeles.
Tacoma. Seattle and Portland are
greatly agitated over the rates from
the east to interior points, as the tariff
places st. Paul, Minneapolis and even
Chicago in the field as strong competi-
tors for business which. haul being
considered, should belong legitimately
to these shipping points. By an appli-
cation of the decision in the Spokane
case to southern lines and points Los
Angeles and San Francisco occupy rel
atively the same position that the cities
of the northern coast do to the inland
empire.
1t is for this reason that the Califor-
MIA cities are concerned in having the
rates readjusted so as to give the coast
distributing points an equal chance to
compete with the distributing points
east of the mountains. The distributiVe
rates from the east to interior points
will come up for approval before the
commission June 8, and at that time
the coast cities will have a protest to
offer, or at least petition asking for
a REIMBURSEMENT of the distributive rate.

m HE purchase for use in the city
of a patent garbage receptacle
u will probably be considered at
today's session of the council. The
patent garbage receptacle is the inven-
ton of DR.. Adam Reed, who has been
working on the problem since his visit
to Los Angeles two years ago.
Reeds sanitary garbage receptacle,
the name of the device under which
the patent was obtained at Washing
ton, consists of two galvanized iron
cans, one of which fits into the other.
The larger is but a hollow cylinder,
the lower end open and the top fas-
tened with a lid attached to the pipe
by hinges. The outer receptacle is
placed in the earth. with the lid just
level with the top of the ground.
Into this outer receptacle fits an
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-05-25

other galvanized iron can with a
bucketlike handle. The inner can may
be picked up and the contents carried
to the garbage wagon. The lower end
of the outer receptacle being open, it
is asserted by it's inventor that ventila-
ton arising from the earth prevents the
fermentation of the contents of the
inner can. The sanitary garbage re-
ceptacle is suitable for use at the rear
doors of homes, hotels. restaurants and
all other places that have garbage for
disposal.
The receptacle prevents flies, worms,
rats or other pests from gaining access
to the garbage.
1t is said that a company is to be
formed and to be operated in Los An
geles for the manufacture and sale of
the patent garbage receptacles.
