STATES $4,000
IS SQUANDERED
NEW SUIT FILED AGAINST
HUMANE ANIMAL LEAGUE
PLAINTIFF is WIFE OF HEAD OF
CALIFORNIA CLUB
Appears as Taxpayer with Claim That
Public Funds Are Being Mis-
used Under Guise of
Humanity

Claiming that, as a public spirited
Los Angeles from the loss of $4,000 per
year which she declares is squandered
by the Humane Animal league, Mrs
Emily A. Wilson, wife of Percy Will
son. president of the California club,
brought suit yesterday, through her at
torneys, Avery & French and Grant
Jackson, seeking to prevent the city
from carrying out the terms of the
contract entered into with the league
last November by which the latter gets
$500 and 75 per cent of all receipts from
licenses for three years in return for
its work in caring for unlicensed ami
mails.
That his client has no private grudge
against the league and has no axe to
grind is the statement made last night
by Russ Avery, one. of the attorneys
for Mrs. Wilson.
Points to Salaries
"I am authorized to state for my
client that she believes that the nu-
merous high salaried officers who mis-
manage the affairs of the league cost
the city annually $4,000 which should
go to swell the tax receipts. Because
of this loss, the taxpayers are assessed
more than they should be and, as tax
payer. Mrs. Wilson believes that she
has a right of action against the city
If it enters into a contract which will
cause a loss to the taxpayers"
The action, which was filed in the
superior court yesterday, marks anoth-
er chapter in the tribulations which
have marred the existence of the
Humane Animal league, almost from
the day of it's inception and, after a
stormy legal proceeding with an ex-
poundmaster, they now find themselves
assailed from an unexpected quarter.
The claim of the league presented to
City Auditor Mushet July /, by which
they get rs per cent of the $500 which
represents the license collections for
June, is the immediate basis for the
suit begun by Mrs. Wilson, who has
calculated that the $3,945 thus taken
from the city could be used to better
purpose than in paying salaries to the
league officers.
Mrs. Wilson is a new addition to the
ranks of those who are opposed to the
present methods of caring for unli-
censed animals, although she has
watched with interest the progress of
its dissensions. At one time an effort
was made to place her upon the
leagues board of directors, an offer
which she declined, saying that she
saw trouble in the future.
The basis for her contention that the
contract entered into between the city
and the league is illegal is that the
contract was never advertised and no
opportunity was given to those who
might have submitted lower bids.
A temporary restraining order, pre-
venting City Auditor Mushet from is
suing a warrant to the league for it's
proportion of the June collections and
City Treasurer Hance from turning
over the money, was issued by Pre-
siding Judge Wilbur and the hearing
on this was set for July in Judge Hut
toms department.

til their cases are brought to trial.

This Week
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The officers
of the signal corps who are concerned
in the aeroplane trials, are beginning
to exhibit signs of irritation at the
apparent unconcern of the Wright
brothers, regarding aspects of the mat

ceedingly important.
Brig. Gen. James Allen, chief signal
officer, and every member of the corps
want members of the house and senate
to witness the fights made by the
Wrights, in order that congress may
treat more kindly requests for appropri-
ations for aeronautic work
Wilbur Wright left for New York
last night, without notifying the OFF,
GERS stationed at the aeroplane shed
that he intended to go.
While Orville is expected back from
Dayton tomorrow, it seems hardly like
ly there will be any more flights at

able to furnish this amount and was
sent back to jail.
There were but few persons in the

Abrams rose when his name was
called and listened, in a dazed manner,
TO the reading of the complaint that
charged him with having committed
manslaughter by having caused the
death of Isaac L. Lowman without
malice.
The accused remained standing dur

not until the bailiff twice told him to
sit down did he seem to hear and re-

Deputy District Attorney Keetch,
who has charge of the prosecution,
then recommended that the bail be

done by the justice, who in replying

replied that in view of the circum-
stances the amount named was rea-

S an indication of the growth of
n business and a return of normal
~ financial conditions, the business
transacted on the Los Angeles Stock
exchange for the first six months of
the year 1909 is a fair barometer. Not
only have the predictions made at the
first of the year that the business
would far exceed last been fulfilled,
but the estimates made in February
have been exceeded, and 1t Is now safe
to say that should the present opera
tions continue the business for the
year 1909 will be nearer s7,OO0,0OO than
$4,000, 900, as was first predicted.
That the eastern public is beginning
to wake up to the opportunities for
investment and speculation in the
securities handled on our local ex-
change, more especially the oils, Is in
dicated on every hand. There Is not
a large house on the exchange but is
reporting eastern business, and hardly
a day passes but that the office of
the exchange is called up by some local
bank and the request made that quota
ton sheets be sent to this or that man
in one of the large financial centers OF
the east In this broadening of the
market is to be found the reason for
the strong undertone, always apparent,
in the operations on the local exchange
for the past LnTeo Ut SIN lllOHlIlo.
Once started on this broadening mar
ket, shares can have but one tendency
in the main, and that upward. OF
course, there will be reaction, but as
has been the history of the market
for the past thirty days, as soon as a
decided break is evident large orders
are at once apparent on the floor of
the board and the shares Immediately
