PROPOSES TO LEASE
CITYS INClNERATOR
PUBLIC WORKS BOARD LIKES
SUGGESTION
Sam c. Hannah Offers to Take Charge
of Plant and Charge City
Small Fee for Burn
ing Rubbish

Sam c. Hannah, who bid for the citys
garbage contract but was underbid by
Charles Alexander, made a verbal pro-
posal to the board of public works yes
terday that the board may be inclined
to consider. The board asked that the
proposal be submitted in writing in
definite terms.
Hannahs proposition is to lease the
city's incinerator and conduct it him.
self, charging a small fee for the in
cineration of rubbish. He claims he
has a contract to furnish pulp for
paper company, and that he can use
much of this rubbish in making his
pulp. He proposes also to collect all
the ashes and tin cans that are now
collected by the Vernon Live Stock as
ISOLATION, which also collects the city's
garbage. The rubbish he intends to
charge a fee for consuming is that
which is thrown aside by large busi-
ness houses.
The question of disposing of rub
bish is becoming a serious one and the
board of public works realizes that ii
must face this problem in the near fu
ture. Until recently most rubbish could
be dumped on sunken lots throughout
the CITY, WHERE tue OWIlSTS Oh the lOlS
were glad to have 1t for filling pur
poses. But this has made so many un-
slightly places in the city and in some
cases has proved a fire menace that
the council recently passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting the practice. All
rubbish must now be taken outside the
city limits or to the municipal dump
ing ground. This dumping ground is
in the extreme southeastern corner of
the city and is so far away from every
other section of the city that rubbish
haulers are forced to charge high
prices. Even at the high prices it is
proving difficult to get anyone to do
the work.
Since the contract has been let for
feeding the garbage to hogs and the
United States Phosphate company has
the contract for collecting dead animals
and making them into fertilizer. the in
cinerator has become practically use
less. There is nothing for it to burn
The city paid S75,000 for the incinerator
and just finished making the last pay
ment last year. This plant will either
have to be let for some such purpose
as Hannah's or rust away on the citys
hands.

DECLARES CITY BOILER
INSPECTOR INCOMPETENT
J. J. Clayton Alleges F. e. Griesmer
Lacks Sixth Sense Necessary
for Hammer Test

J. J. Clayton, 1916 North Main street,
yesterday filed a communication adj
dressed to the city council in which
he prefers charges of incompetency
against F. E. Griesmer, city boiler in
spector.
The most serious charge is that
Griesmer does not possess what Clay
ton terms the "boilermaker sixth
sense" He says that owing to pecu-
liar construction half the steam boil
ers used in Los Angeles must be test
ed by the hammer test" for blisters,
capitalization and other defects This
test, he says, cannot be judged by
sound as the average boilermaker is
hard of hearing and he must know
if the material is imperfect by sem
sation in the wrist and it is this SEN
sation that is the sixth sense" he
speaks of.
Griesmer has been city boiler in
spector for about two years. He took
the civil service examination and was
certified to the council by the civil SER
vice commission. Clayton was also an
applicant for the position and at the
time Griesmer was appointed protested
to the council.

THANKSGIVING JOKE
GIVEN TOBE HARRIS
LING MAKES MERRY
WITH SUMMERFIELD'S CLERK
Charge of Contempt Keeps Genial
Court Officer Busy Thinking
II Over Until Almost
Dusk

It. B. Harris, "Tobe," as he is famil-
iarly known, clerk in Justice Summer
fields court, was fined for contempt by
Justice Ling yesterday when he failed
to appear as a witness in civil suit.
Tobe was an hour late when he re-
ceived a telephone message to get a
move on"
What do you mean by delaying
court proceedings in this manner?' de-
manded Justice Ling as Harris entered
the doorway.
"I was -" began Harris, when the
Justice interrupted. Don't try to ex-
plain" he calculated.
But 1 was at a meeting of the Re
publican city central committee" said
Harris. :,
"This is no place to talk politics, .
said the Justice. Then he continued
the matter until 4 o'clock, telling the
clerk to be on hand to answer to
charge of contempt
Harris was five minutes early. The
hearing was held in chambers, but the
doors were open and a number of per-
sons were present to enjoy his dis
comfiture.
After Harris, with pale face and vi
sions of a prison cell fitting through his
mind, made a lengthy explanation, JUS
tice Ling told him he had offered moth
ing in mitigation of his offense. =,
"It's six months in the county Jail
for yours, but l will suspend the SEN
tence during good behavior" declared
the court. "You will report each Tues
dav to Constable Rice and every Fri
day to Deputy Constable Jackson, who
will be appointed special probation Of
ficers. In addition you must buy 81
worth of cigars for these persons here. >
Then, for the first time, it dawned
on Harris mind that it was a joke.

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, Nov. 24.-The
fourth division of the state naval

lie Manildi, aged and respectively.
They strayed from their home yes
terday and no trace has been found of
them, although searching parties were

The whole city is agitated over the
disappearance and many are inclined
to believe that the little girls have
been kidnapped.
The missing girls are children of Mr..
and Mrs. Jos. Manildi, Italians, and
as the parents are not wealthy no mo-
tive for kidnapping is known.
The police department and sheriff's
office have been working on the case
today and sent out searchers i'll auto
mobiles in all directions
The cliffs along the sea shore and
other dangerous places in the vicinity
of the city have been visited. without
any trace of the children being found.

Municipal Affairs
GREAT EUCALYPTUS
FIELD NEAR AT HAND
CITY'S LAND ON RlCKEY RANCH
OCCUR TO C0UNClLMEN
Large Opportunity for Great Enter
prise Is Called to Mind by
Proposal Made to
Council

The offer of the American Forestra-
ton company made to the city council
7 lesday and which was hastily re-
ferred to the water commission was
the principal topic of conversation
among councilmen yesterday.
AS the offer was made at time when
a number of other important subjects
were under consideration and especial
ly when every member of the council
was keyed up to the highest tension
over the purchase of the Temple block
as a city hall site, the offer was not
given the consideration it apparently
deserved. A few comments were made
and among them the fear was ex-
pressed that, if the offer was accepted,
the forestration company would want
a large part of the Owens river water.
In thinking the matter over yesterday
the councilmen came to the conclusion
that there are thousands of acres in
the owens valley owned by the city.
where eucalyptus can be grown without
a drop of water for irrigating purposes,
as there is sub-irrigation all through
the land. This is especially true of the
Hickey ranch and of practically all the
city's land north of Owens lake. There
are some places where irrigating would
probably have to be done. but on most
of this land artesian water can be Sc
cured.
Councilmen Pease, Dromgold AMI
Yonkin have taken an especial interest
in this subject. and the three are agreed
that the growing of eucalyptus on most
of the city's land is a feasible plan
and that it will be of immense advan-
tage to the city But they also are
agreed that, if a contract is made with
the American Forestration company,
the amount of water to be taken from
the city's supply should be carefully
limited.
The Forestration company wants to
use 10000 acres of the citys land and
plant it TO eucalyptus. 1t asks a lease
for fifteen years and at the end of that
time agrees to turn over the forest to
the city. The city is to receive S250.000
cash the minute the contract is signed.
$780, 900 al the end of one year and
s500,000 at the end of two years. The
offer to pay a quarter of a million at
once is considered by the council as
evidence of good faith.

INDUSTRIAL COMMITTEE TO
HOLD ANOTHER CONFERENCE
Expected That Meeting Will Result in
Definite Suggestions to Council
for Factory Districts

The industrial committee, composed
of members of the council, the chamber
of commerce and the Merchants and
Manufacturers association, will hold
another meeting Friday afternoon at
o'clock in the council chamber.
1t is probable this meeting will re-
suit in definite suggestions for indus
trial tracts in different parts Of the
city as the committee made "A tour of
investigation in automobiles last week
and selected the sites it believed will
be the best for industrial purposes.
In a general way these industrial
tracts will follow the line of the rail-
roads as nearly as possible so that
spur tracks can be run from the main
lines into the industrial property.
IF the city council solves the hard
problem of separating industrial from
residence districts it win relieve the
incoming council of one of the most
disagreeable features that have con-
fronted councils of the past.

between this city and Pasadena-to be
preserved as great natural park
has received the enthusiastic approval
of many citizens and of civic bodies,

gested that the city of Pasadena
should own it, urging that it would be
a mistake to delav and expressed un-
bounded admiration for the splendid
natural park which nature had pro-
Vided at the border of the city, and
Whereas, We note with pleasure
that the city of Pasadena has taken
steps toward the realization of the great
enterprise, including the establish
ment of a boulevard reaching for miles
along the brink of the arroyo, present
ing vistas probably unrivaled in the
country, and desiring to cooperate with
the enterprising city on the north in
securing an unbroken arroyo park from
this city to the mountains, therefore
be it
Resolved That a committee of two
be appointed from this commission and
that the municipal art commission and
the Arroyo Seco Park association be
invited to appoint like committees such

port covering the feasibility and ways
and means of accomplishing this

MAN WANTED IN FRESNO
C0NFESSES HIS GUILT
S. A. Jefferson Tells Sheriff He En1-

Willing to Return

S. A. Jefferson wanted in Fresno to
answer to a charge of embezzling a
carload of mules belonging to an ami
NAL buyer of that city, was arrested in
Los Angeles yesterday by Deputy
Sheriff Harry Wright, and later con-
fessed his guilt to Sheriff Hammel,
stating he. would return to Fresno
without opposition.
About year ago the animal buyer,
A. Schmidt. sent Jefferson to San
Francisco to sell a carload of mules.
Jefferson sold the animals for $4,000, or
$500 less than their value, and nothing
more was heard of him until Sheriff
Hammel was notified of his presence
in Los Angeles. He told the sheriff he
had been robbed of the money in San
Francisco and has Travelled about the
country since then, reaching this city
only a few days ago. He probably will
be taken to Fresno today.

ONE JUROR CONVINCED
B. H. MARKHAM IS SANE
No Evidence introduced to Dsprove
Accusations That Mans Mind
Was Unbalanced

Although no evidence was introduced
to disprove the accusation of insanity
against B. II. Markham, while a num-
ber of witnesses, including two physi-
clans, testified that they believed he is
mentally unsound, the jury after more
than two hours deliberation yesterday
was unable to agree on a verdict and
was locked up for the night by instruc-
tions of Judge Davis.
Markham's trial Tuesday on a charge
of mistreating Ethel Wolfe, a young
girl, was interrupted when DR., George
w. Campbell testified that he had ex-
amined the man in the county Jail and
believed him to be insane. Judge Davis
postponed the trial until Friday, and
the trial as to Markham's condition of
mind at the present time was begun
yesterday. Two physicians stated that
they believed Markham insane, while a
number of relatives testified as to his
peculiar actions for several years past
The jury is said to have stood eleven
for conviction of insanity, one man
holding out for acquittal upon that
charge.
