He looked all around the council

INQUIRY REVEALS ROADS
EXACT ARBITRARY CHARGE
Shippers of Los Angeles and Other
So=CalIed Terminals Forced
to Pay Extra for
Switching

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. PAT the
hearing today of the complaint of the
coast jobbers and manufacturers
against the switching rates charged to
business concerns by the railroads, At
torney Seth Mann argued that it was
no more expensive to the companies
to deliver a car on an industrial siding
than to set it down on the team tracks,
though for the service $3.50 is charged,
while the latter is free.
There is an arbitrary charge of five
cents per ton taken out of the freight
rate from the east by the delivery line,
and this, Mann contends, was in addi-
tion to switching at terminal points.
Peter Dunn, attorney for the South
ern Pacific, said this five-cent charge
was for transfer service across the bay.
Mann then asked William Burman,
a Santa Fe clerk who was on the wit
ness stand, if this charge was made at
Los Angeles.
Burman answered that it was, as
we'll as at Sacramento, Stockton, and
every other terminal point in the state.
At these places, Mann stated, there
was no bay transfer service, and de-
clared that the companies are covering
the switching cost by their regular
tariffs

BLAMES HOSPITAL AND
POLICE FOR PLIGHT OF
POOR MEXICAN WOMAN
Mrs. Rodriguez Offered Shelter at
Lodging House, but No Physi-
clan Would Respond
to Call

Mrs. Gabriel Rodriguez, a Mexican
who was taken to the county hospita
after being refused admittance to q
private institution, although she was
in a critical condition at the time, is
recovering.
With her husband and children Mrs
Rodriguez arrived in Los Angeles Tues
day. 1t was charged at the time by
the humane officers that the woman
who was about to become a mother
had been inhumanly turned out by Mrs
Clara Beach, proprietor of the Palm
lodging house on East Fifth street.
Lodgers at the Palm declare Mrs.
Beach took the family in, gave them a
room free of cost, and even offered to
allow the woman to remain over night
if the services of a physician could be
procured. No physician responded to
the call, and in desperation Charles
MCNEIL. who lives at the Palm, took
the suffering woman to the Crocker
street hospital. There the nurses re
fused to admit her, but MCNEIL would
not allow her to be turned into the
street. At last an ambulance was sum-
moned and the woman was taken to
the county hospital, in serious condi-
ton.
McNeill denounces the actions of the
hospital nurses who refused to take
the woman in, and also censures the
police, who, he says, failed to respond
when told of the woman's condition.

Slew Bird in Eaton's
Canyon

A condor, a member of the feathered
tribe that has from the beginning of
history been identified with the fame
of the Andes, is flying about Eaton S
canyon, seeking its mate. The bird is
the last of it's species to be found III
this part of California, or, perhaps, in
the entire state. Five years ago six
condors made their home in the can
yon. Two years ago only two re-
mained, male and a female These
have been watched carefully by game
Wardens and others anxious to protect
the birds on account of their scarcity
A week ago the female bird disap-
peared. Two days ago Game Warden
w. B. Morgan was notified that it had
been shot and killed by one of his dep
uties, Sam Wallace, and that Wallace
had tried to sell the bird for $3.50. The
condor was brought to Mr.. Morgan's
office yesterday, crudely stuffed in prep
aratIOn for barter.
Warden Morgan has applied for &
complaint against Wallace and will
deprive him of his office.
The birds have for years been objects
of interest, especially to tourists, hun
dreds of whom have made trips to the
canyon to see the birds. Years ago
thousands of condors made their home
in the mountains in this vicinity. but
disappeared as civilization advanced

Too Prejudiced to Try
Magnate

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22-In the
effort to complete jury to try Patrick

amined as to their qualifications and
four talesmen have been temporarily

Tomorrow the court will undertake
the examination of the third panel.
numbering SeVenty-five men, and it is
probable that the routine of interroga-
ton will be resumed on Monday
Up to this time the proceedings have
warranted the belief that jury will be
obtained only after weeks of effort.
During today's session of court a
score of citizens were interrogated by
the attorneys, but all were challenged
because of prejudice or excused on
technical grounds.
The trial opened today with the third
notification of an attempt to ascertain
the opinion of some citizen summoned
as a juror.
Judge Lawlor, after directing a
lengthy examination of the juror whose
report constituted the basis for the
only sensation of the day ordered the
immediate arrest of any person who
approached a prospective juror in the
future.

CONFINED TO MINIMUM
Government Plans Strict Economy
and Postpones Expenditure of
1o7,ooo,ooo Yen for Pres
ent Diet

TOXIC, Jan. 22.-The budget commit
tee of the diet yesterday afternoon lis
tened to statements from various mem
bers of the cabinet regarding the plans
for economy of expenditure which the
government has mapped out.
In accepting the suggestion that the
premier had postponed expenditures
amounting to 100000 yen, Viscount
Terachi, the secretary of war, said
that his department was endeaVoring
to decrease expenditures.
Viscount Terachi laughingly added:
I'VE are doing this because it is
desirable to disabuse the mind of the
world of the idea that Japan is per-
sisting in warlike preparations
Vice Admiral Makoto suggested that
decreases amounting to nearly 900, ,0OO,-
coo were made in the department of
marine, of which he is secretary.
He asserted it is absolutely for Japan
to maintain a standard navy, but that
the financial condition of the country
made the present economies unavoid-
able.
