.SHYLOCk GAME
IS DENOUNCED
JUSTICE PIERCE SAYS PRES
ENT LAW is SHAME
PlTIFUL FIGURES ARE SHOWN
IN COURT
Aged Man Pays $592 on $14s Loan
In Nine Years and Still
Owes $12o to Money
Lender

The usurious rates of interest per-
mitted to be charged by loan sharks
under the laws. or absence of laws, in
this state stirred the wrath of Justice
Pierce yesterday, who described condi-
tions In this regard as a disgrace to
California.
The case was that of N. B. Williams,
76 years old, who was sued for recov-
cry on a note. Williams made the
note, the original amount of which was
$148, nine years ago. Since then he has
been paying 5 per cent month and
succeeded in reducing the principal to
$120, the amount sued for. Since he
borrowed the money he has paid 1892
in interest, or four times the original
sum borrowed, and thought it was time
to quit.
Justice Pierce, under the law, could
do nothing but render Judgment. for the
plaintiff. J. M. Herndon, to whom the
note was assigned four years ago by
the money lender, but in doing so took
occasion to severely criticise the law
that permits these transactions
''It is a disgrace to thess state OF Cali
fornia," said the justice, that we al
low such a law on the statute books
as will permit men loaning money to
poor people to charge usurious rates of
interest-in fact, allow them to become
highway robbers
F. P. Jenal, Williams attorney, OBJ
jected to the payment OF the note on
technical grounds.

parently in better spirits than for
many weeks, while the young hero,
who had risked his life, appeared none
the worse for the test in which he had
given his rich, young blood to prolong
the life of a relative.
Just how much blood was used in
the operation is not known, as the
operation continued until the young
man showed signs of a weak pulse,
then the arteries were disconnected,
the wounds sewed up and one OF the
most delicate anatomical operations
ever performed was brought to a sue
cessful termination.
1t is said that the blood of youth
can overcome the ravages of disease
in the aged, and yesterdays operation
was decided upon as the only possible
manner IN which life could be pro-
| longed.
Young Adams, when the question
was broached to him, at once decided
that he was able to Withstand the test
and, despite the danger explained to
him, decided to risk his life TO prolong
that of his grandmother.
Late last night Mrs. Adams was rest
ing comfortably and in better condi-
tion than when she entered the Home
sanitarium, and although, owing to her
age, hope of ultimate recovery arc not
advanced, it is believed that she has
taken a new lease Of life.

LABORER IS KILLED
BY FALL INTO HOLE
MAN PITCHES FOREMOST INTO
EXCAVATION
c. TatIow, Wheeling Concrete Along
Narrow Gangway, Loses Balance
and Is Precpitated Fifteen
Feet to Bottom

G. Tatlow, so years old, laborer en-
ployed by the f. o. Engstrum Construc-
tion company, was killed almost in
stantly yesterday morning when he
fell headforemost into an excavation
at 22S Winston street.
Tatlow was employed to carry con-
crete from a mixer and to dump 1t into
an excavation about fifteen feet deep.
He was a man OF slight build and ap-
parently not in good health. He was
carrying the concrete in a wheel bar
row from the mixer, rolling it along a
narrow gangway and dumping it into
chute down to the bottom of the
excavation.
In some manner he either lost his
balance or became dizzy, and just at
the time he was about to empty the
wheelbarrow into the chute lost his
balance and fell headlong into the
hole.
He struck on a timber below and
the wheelbarrow fell on top of him.
Several workmen rushed to his assist
ance and found his skull was fractured,
and that he had sustained a number of
decorations and abrasions on his face.
A call was sent to the receiving hos
pital, but Tatlow was dead when the
ambulance arrived.
The body was removed to the under
taking establishment of Bresee Bros,
where an inquest will be held.
Little is known of the dead man, and
UP to a late hour last night his ad-
dress was not learned.

WRECKED MEN RESCUED
BY LIFE SAVING CREW
Seven Sailors Cling to Bowsprit of
Stranded Schooner-AIl Saved,
but with Difficulty

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-After clinging
for several hours to the bowsprit of
their stranded vessel, swept by heavy
seas and all but drowned, seven men,
including the captain of the schooner
Arlington of Boston, were rescued by
a life saving crew this morning.
One man, who had put out from the
schooner on a life raft, drifted out to
sea toward Sandy Hook.
The schooner, a three-masted vessel,
piled up on Long Beach before daylight
during an easterly gale. Her dacks
were swept by the seas, and her crew
took refuge on the bowsprit while the
Long Beach life saving crew tried
vainly to shoot line over the vessel,
or to launch life boat.
After several hours of effort, a life
boat reached the schooner and the
crew was rescued.
The man adrift on the raft has not
been found.

FATHER ACCUSES SON OF
ATTEMPTING TO POISON HIM
Witnesses Testify That J. c. Grinton OF
Sawtelle Beat Aged Parent-Trial
Not Completed

If man beats mis- aged father,
threatens to brain him with a milk
bottle and tears his clothes, and says
he was engaged only in horseplay," is
he insane?
That he is was the belief expressed
by one witness at the lunacy commits
sion meeting yesterday in the case of
Ernest Grinton, 80, of Sawtelle, who
was arrested several days ago charged
by his father, James c. Grinton, with
being mentally unsound.
The elder Grinton, who is rs years
old, said his son threatened him with
a milk bottle, and on two occasions he
had refused to eat food prepared by
the younger man when it had bitter
taste.
II thought he had put strychnine in
the food and was trying to poison me, -
said the old man.
When one witness-a neighbor-was
asked what he thought of Grinton, he
replied there was no doubt that he was
insane.
"On what do you base that conclu-
sion 20 demanded Grinton.
"Well, it is my belief that man who
beats his father, tears his clothing,
locks him in the house and threatens
him with a bottle is mentally weak, "
was the reply.
The hearing was continued until to-
day,

HARTMAN MAN
MADE A SLEUTH
FORGOOD ROADS
E. A. DE CAMP GIVEN POSITION
BY SUPERVISORS
FORMER JOB WAS TO SWEAR OFF
FRANCHISE TAXES
Now "Tus" EIdridge Declares That
5000 a Month Must Be Paid
for "Gum Shoe"
Work

BY vote of the board of supervisors
yesterday the contract for the grading
and paving of Long Beach boulevard,
one of the big links in the chain of
new good roads, was let to the Oil
Macadam Paving company for $56,742'
At the same meeting the supervisors
decided that it is necessary to employ
a secret service man before the I'M
provement of the Long Beach boule-
ward can be carried out.
In pursuance of this determination,
new addition to the highway COM
mission was selected yesterday in the
person of Edgar A. DeCamp, until re-
Gently assistant tax agent for the Los
Angeles-Pacific railroad company.
Mr.. De Camp is a resident of ''Tus"
Eldridge's district. His home is in
East Hollywood. He will be known
henceforth as right of way agent of
the highway commission" his appoint
ment being said to have been made
at the request of that body. His sal
ary will be 5000 month.
Old Hartman Agent
Mr.. De Camp already is known as
the agent for the Hartman Hunting
ton railway line to Santa Monica and
Ocean Park who has fought for reduc-
ton of personal and franchise taxes
before supervisors and councilmen in
Los Angeles for years.
De Camps duties, 1t was explained,
would be to secure additional strips
along the boulevard where it is found
necessary to widen the thoroughfare.
1t also was explained that the neces-
sity for the "gum shoe work arose
because the members Of the highway
commission are too well known,
through recent publications concerning
the "solid three's" breach of faith with
the advisory committee and the public
generally when they appointed these
members without the approval of the
advisers, to do their work competent
ly without the assistance of an ad-
wiser schooled in the school of Hunt
ington and Hartman. This latter ex-
PLANTATION came, with variations, from
Supervisor "Tus" Eldridge.
Pridham in Opposition
The appointment of De Camp was
made over the strenuous opposition of
Supervisor Pridham, who said he be-
lieved that this work should be done
by the members of the commission.
"This work cannot be done by the
commission" retorted Eldridge when
Pridham became insistent. 1T should
be in charge of a man not known by
those from whom we want rights Of
way. The commissioners are too we'll
knewn; better known than ever since
the solid three put them back into

BRIBE CASE AGAINST
ARNERICH CONTINUED
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT IS
UNABLE TO BE PRESENT
Proprietor Of Good Fellows 0rotto Is
Alleged to Have Offered
Money to Patrolman
Brown

Because of counsel for the defendant
being engaged at the superior court and
unable to be present yesterday morn
ing, the preliminary hearing OF George
p. Arnerich, proprietor of the Good
Fellows grotto on South Main street,
charged with rendering "a bribe of $100
to Patrolman Brown, in connection with
a liquor case pending against him some
time ago, was continued by Police JUS
tice Rose yesterday to September 4.
The arrest of Arnerich on the charge
of bribery created quite a sensation
when at the time of being taken into
custody Arnerich declared he had given
$50 to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Seymour for advice" in the liquor
case.
Arnerich first was arrested on a
charge of selling liquor to his GUS
toners without the formality Of serv-
Ing them meals, as provided by city
ordinance. While the case was pending
he is alleged to have met Patrolman
Brown and made a proposition to the
latter to the effect that If the officer
would not summon witnesses in the
liquor case Arnerich would give him
$50. Brown demurred at the amount
and set a trap.
With several other officers hidden in
a booth at Americas place, Brown Is
alleged to have received 500 from Ar
nerich and Immediately to have taken
the restaurant man into custody.
The liquor case was brought to trial
a short time ago. The attorney for
Arnerich sprung a surprise when he
revealed the fact that Patrolman
Brown is former convict, having
served a term in a Kansas penitentiary.
In his address to the jury in the
liquor case the attorney for Arnerich
grilled Brown numerically, and after
celebrating little more than half an
hour, a verdict of not guilty was re-
turned.
The bribery case, 1t is thought. will
be a hard fought one and the trial, 1t
is believed, will disclose circumstances
of a startling nature.
