MEN WHO MlSTREATED
CATTLE ARE PUNISHED
SAN PEDRO HUMANE SOCIETY
WINS VICTORY
After Superior Court Dismisses Case
Organization in Pasadena Comes
to the Rescue of Beach
City Officials
Cities
[snecial to The Herald.l


SAN PEDRO, April 15.-With the as
sistance of the Pasadena Humane So
ciety, the San Pedro Humane society
has won signal victory in securing the
punishment of the three men employed
by Rowland brothers, who were ar
rested on April 4, 1908, on a charge of
cruelty to some cattle they were bring
ing from San Clemente in the power
schooner Edith.
The cattle were in an impoverished
condition and were hoisted from the
little boat to the wharf here by means
of a rope attached, in some instances,
around their necks and in other cases
by the heels. The trial here resulted
against the defendants, but owing to
a faulty complaint, the superior court
threw the cases out of court. There
were many in this city who scoffed at
the efforts of the local society, which
was under the leadership Of Mrs. w. A.
Weldon. But the protectors of dumb
brutes were not to be defeated and the
aid of DR.. E. l.. Conger, president oil
the Pasadena society, was secured and
new complaints filed at South Pasa-
lena in March this year against three
of the men who handled the cattle
These men, Gonzales, Gregory and
Kellum, pleaded guilty and were nned
$25 each by Judge Glover.
Mrs. Weldon stated today that othel
cases would be filed against the How
land brothers for transporting the cat
tie in such a poor craft as the Edith
proved to be, and also against Benkert
who was buyer for the HoWlano
brothers

Representatives of the street depart
ment of Los Angeles who were ex-
pected here this afternoon to witness
demonstration of new device for
sprinkling streets with hot oil. failed
to arrive, and the test was made with
out them. The new machine is a modi-
fication of one in use in the northern
part of the state that has given good
satisfaction, and from tests made here
is expected to do better work and cost
less than the ordinary water sprinkler.

ASK PAROLE FOR WOMAN
WHO BROKE LIQUOR LAW
People of Upland Aroused Over Eff.
forts to Secure Freedom of
Mrs. Della Bergen

UPLAND, April 14-The people of
this town are aroused over the efforts
of certain local men to secure the pa
role of Mrs. Della Bergen, who was
sentenced recently to serve a sentence
of ninety days in the county Jail and
to pay a fine of $500 for breaking the
local anti-liquor ordinance. Before her
conviction Mrs. Bergen, better known
as Mother had been arrested several
times for the same offense.
A few days ago a petition was sent
to Governor Gillett asking for her
pardon, which was headed off by a
counter petition. Now the parties who
are backing Mrs. Bergen are endeavor-
ing to secure her parole under the
new state law, enacted during the last
legislature, which allows the sheriff
and district attorney of a county to
act as a board of parole in any case
tried before the county court The
friends of Mrs. Bergen have secured
the signatures of four members of the
board of trustees to petition asking
for her parole, and this has been sent
to the county officials.
