tins were present to contest the ef-
forts looking to his release until the
entire Judgment was satisfied.
In response Hare offered to give up
his entire possessions, which he esti-
mated as worth about S15,OOO, Whlle

ical calculation, fixed the value OF his
property at S7100.

NEW CHIEF MILK
INSPECTOR NAMED
HEALTH BOARD Determined
TO GET IMPROVEMENT
Physicians Dissatisfied with Condi-
tions, and at Special Meeting APP
point E. W.. Hotchkiss to
Succeed George Hood

Dissatisfied with milk conditions, the
board of health, at a special meeting
last night, sent George Hood chief
milk inspector, back to the bush leagues
and promoted E. w. Hotchiliss to
Hoods position. Hood will have a dis
trict to inspect, but will no longer be
chief inspector. In making the change
the mayor was careful to declare that
it was not to be construed as refec-
tion on Hood, although that probably
will not ease the mind of the former
chief milk inspector
When asked the reason for the
change, DR.. w. ]. Chambers of the
board of health said:
1.-The board is not satisfied with milk
conditions. Since we have been in of
flee there has been no change for the
better. The count is still high, and we
want to know the reason. We have not
been able to find out heretofore, and we
hope Hotchkiss will be able to deter
mine for us"
The board adopted the policy last
night Of following the milk from the
dairies to the consumer, and will find
out where 1t is that the principal in
crease in bacteria occurs.
Physicians at Peace
incidentally the WhlIe winged dove
of peace seems to be looking for a
perching place around the board of
health. While Drs. Chambers and Glib
bons may not have exactly kissed and
made up, they appear to have reached
some sort of compromise, and both are
serving on the same committee in the
milk investigation 1t is practically
the same committee on which Mayor
Alexander tried to appoint the two
physicians Tuesday night, but which
was vetoed emphatically by DR.. Cham
bers.
When the motion had prevailed for
the mayor to appoint a milk inyesti-
eating committee the mayor looked
from DIR. Gibbons to DR.. Chambers for
a few minutes, and then said:
"Wel, I was sat on the other night,
but I'm going to try it again. I ap-
point DR.. Chambers and DIR. Gibbons"
Dr. Chambers made no protest, and
all seems peace and harmony.
Milk Dealer Fined
Charged with violating the milk or
dinance by having for sale milk not
up to the proper standard, l. Rich
man appeared before Police Judge
Frederickson yesterday afternoon and
was found guilty and fined $25.

Jury FINDS WARREN
GUILTY OF LARCENY
MAN ACCUSED OF STEALING
JEWELS TO BE SENTENCED
Complainant Denies She Knew Pris-
oner Was Married When She Met
Him and Says Boston Lawyer
Gave Her Diamonds

Twelve men expressed disbelief in the
story told by Lee B. Warren, charged
with grand larceny, when they returned
a verdict of guilty in the criminal court
Yesterday after celebrating only M

Warren, who claimed MISS Margaret
LIGHTS Jewels were stolen from the
Long Beach bath house by his wife, SO
that financial benefits might follow and
Miss Light would be given enough no.
toriety to land her in lucrative posi-
tion on the stage, continued his story
Yesterday and was subjected to riga
cross-examination by Deputy DlstricI
Attorney Keyes, who succeeded in rals-
ing some doubt as to the truthtulness
OF the witness statements.
Mrs. Warren, the prisoners 16-year-
old wife, was on the witness stand Tor
five minutes, but was not allowed 10
corroborate her husbands story further
than she had seen him with Miss Light
at Long Beach the day of the robpery'
When Miss Light was called TO the
stand to give rebuttal testimony she
responded with alacrity ana an ap-
narent determination to make the most
Of an opportunity not only to deny
Warren's story of her connection with
the theft but to volunteer some intor-
nation she gained through conVersa-
tion during her erstwhile pleasant asso-
citation with him.
Did Not Know Man Was Married
Did YOU know Warren was married
when you went with him to the beach?'
asked Mr.. Keyes.
Indeed, did not; there are too many
single men around for me to depend on
the married ones to take me to any
place" she replied with asperity.
She also stated Warren, after impart-
ing to her the fact that he was married,
told her his father-in-law would shoot
him if he discovered him around his
home in Fresno, and to further repay
Warren for his testimony she added he
had holes in his trousers and could
not attend the actors ball.
Warrens statement that Miss Light
had been given the diamonds he is ac-
cused of stealing by her divorced hus-
band was denied by Miss Light, who
said she received the jewels from the
late District Attorney Moran of Boston,
to whom she was engaged to be mar
ried ten years ago.
Warren will be sentenced at 10 o'clock
Tuesday in Judge Willis court.
