ISLAND OF MINDANAO

VIGOROUS QUARANTINE MAY
PROVE EFFECTIVE
Local Physician Receives Letter from
Brother In Philippines That Causes
Uneasiness for Safety of
Americans
Branches: 9Th and Main
2l2s South Hoover Street

/ Dr. ]. e. Cowles, a prominent Los
: Angeles physician, is in receipt of a
letter from his brother, DIR. c. D.
Cowles, who is at present in Fam
boanga, a Philippine town on the
island of Mindanao, in which he states
that the entire town of zanboanga is
threatened with cholera. Much. uneaS-
mess has been caused by DR.. CoWles'
report, owing to the fact that there
are a large number of American school
teachers and merchants in the town
and in other portions of the island OF
Mindanao
The epidemic first appeared in Dip
clog, although the real nature of the
disease was not at first known.
careful examination by DIR. Cowles re-
vealed the fact that the entire island
of Mindanao was threatened by chol-
era of a most malignant type. The
disease is at present confined largely
to the natives and strenuous precau-
lions in the form of quarantining every
suspected part of the island will, 1t is
believed, effectually prevent its spread.
The following is from a recent copy
of the Mindanao Herald:
''Zamboanga Is on the ragged edge
of a cholera epidemic. The disease APP
peared in Dipolog on April l and soon
occurred the first day. The people fed
to the mountains, Cebu and other
places. The fish market was put under
guard and tuba selling stopped. The
president, council and constabulary
united in a house to house inspection.
Few people were found to report the
disease until the patient was dead.
When 1t became known that many of
those treated recovered many of them
gave up their fatalistic belief. On May
there had been seventy-five deaths.
Padre Dapitan advises the drinking of
holy water If, he says, the disease
should appear in spite of this precau-
ton it comes as a punishment for sin
and must be endured until death gives
relief"
Dr. Cowles was sent up from Fam
boanga to report on the disease and
Immediately declared 1t cholera. DR..
Dade inaugurated a system to control
the spread of the disease. Several ma
tives have died recently on the island
of Santa Cruz. The entire island has
now been placed under quarantine and
a guard of constabulary placed on the
island with instruction to prohibit all
boats from leaving the island. The
quarantine, it is believed, will be eff
fective."

DECLARES WHALEY
GAVE 2 BAD CHECKS
REAL ESTATE BROKER HAS
preliminary HEARING
Plaintiff Says Attorney Is Unable to
Find TuIare County Ranches
Which Defendant Claimed
to Own

Preliminary examination of L. c..
Whaley, a real estate broker, charged
by his one-time intimate friend, S. D.
Savage of Monrovia, with obtaining
property under false representations,
was begun in Justice Summerfield's
court yesterday, and after several
hours spent in taking testimony the
case was continued until July 7.
Savage is IA years old. For the past
five years, he said, he had the utmost
confidence in Whaley's friendship and
business judgment, and when he ex-
pressed a desire to dispose of i'm
proved property in Monrovia for a
ranch on which he might pass the re-
naming years of his life he believed
Whaley's representations of being the
owner of a ranch in Tulare county
worth $50 an acre.
For my property. which valued at
S12, 500, Whaley gave me a mortgage
on the Tulare county land for $3.50,
a $4,000 mortgage back on my Prop
erty, check on the American Nation
al bank for S1400 and another check on
Missouri bank for $3.50. Later
discovered that neither of these checks
were good, and my attorney could not
find the Tulare county land of which
Whaley claimed ownership
Whaley was held for trial to the SUI
perior court several weeks ago on the
charge of passing the bad checks, and
the examination yesterday was in con-
nection with his representations as to
his ownership of the Tulare county
ranch.
1t is understood he will make no de-
Tense on the latter charge in the JUS
tice court and that when he appears
for trial in the superior court on the
charge of passing worthless paper he
will contend that the checks were
post-dated and in the nature of prom
issory notes.
The case is being prosecuted by w.
]. Ford, deputy district attorney, and
Attorney w. F. Palmer represents
Whaley.

JUSTICE TAKES WILLIAMS
CASE UNDER AMUSEMENT
Preliminary Hearing Develops Uncer.
tainty Concerning Charge to Be
Preferred by Prosecution

Police Justice Frederickson yesterday
took under advisement until Thursday
the case of Harry C. Williams, a
trusted employee of T. Wiesendanger,
charged with taking $255 belonging to
the latter. From the testimony of wit
nesses at the preliminary hearing yes
terday morning there was some ques-
ton as to whether the charge against
the accused should be embezzlement or
grand larceny
According to the testimony of the
witnesses for the prosecution Williams
is said to have taken the money which
was entrusted to his care by collectors
employed by Wiesendanger without
putting it away for safe keeping.
Other witnesses stated Williams had
admitted that he took the money from
the safe. If this is correct an en-
beZzlement charge would not hold. and
a charge of grand larceny would be the
proper accusation, it is said.
In order to further Investigate the
case Justice Frederickson took the mat
ter under advisement until Thursday,
when he will render decision.

Contest Proposed Improvement.
Lawyers Retained

An organization of property owners
along East Fourth street has been
formed to contest the right of the city
in the proposed opening and widening
of the street from Alameda street to
Boyle avenue. and the first legal step
in this direction was taken yesterday
when suit in which LAG individuals
are named as plaintiffs was filed by
Attorneys Collier and Clark in the SUI
perior court yesterday. The cost of the
proposed improvement is about $14S, 600.
According to the attorneys, one of the
things objected to is the opening of
Fourth street, west Of the river. into
Third, instead of into Fourth, and an
other is that the assessment district
does not include number of property
owners who will be benefited by the
Improvement, while others living near
the eastern city limits and long dis
lance from the proposed work are
heavily taxed.

The Time for IaYing-Ry-

The chief mistake made in laying
by the crops is in allowing the time
of the year instead of the condition
of the soil and crops to determine
when cultivation shall cease.
To save moisture and to keep down
the weeds and grass are the objects
in cultivation. If the crops are suf-
fering from lack of moisture or from
weeds, why stop cultivation as long
as the crops are growing?
The man who cultivates with the
plow is usually an advocate of laying
by early. Cultivation is expensive,
and late in the season usually Injuries
the crops by breaking too many roots.
The man who cultivates shallow and
cheaply finds it profitable to continue
cultivating as long as weeds are
troublesome or the crop is suffering
from lack Of moisture We know Of
no other reasons for stopping shall
low cultivation. except that the crops
have completed their growth, or are
free of grass and weeds and have an
abundance of moisture.
1t may pay to stop deep cultiva-
ton before any of the above condf-
tions are reached; or it may pay TO
cultivate deeply when the destruc--
ton of the roots will do less injury
than the presence of weeds and grass-
1t is a matter of methods and condi-
ton of soil and of the crops and not
one of the season of the year, nor
number of civilizations already given.
