BUSY DAY IN
police COURT
Darktown Population Well Representa-
Before His Honor. Judge DAYS,
This Morning

Yesterday was the buriest day the
police force had seen for many days
and several cases were dockotcI for
Judge Davis to try this morning.
Scott Beason, a negro hack driver,
had a case Of assault and battery
docketed against him. Scott took TO
ton that he would go down in the
quarters. He evidently went into the
wrong place, for his presence started
Helen Brown to "cussin'" and so two
of them got into trouble. Scott got
IS for fighting and Helen paid $3.50
for cussing.
Jack Rogers also had his fighting
clothes on yesterday and had the
pleasure of paving $3.50 into the city
treasury this morning,
Officer Barney Doherty on his way
to the police station this morning
found a man coming out from under
the Northeastern trestle near the new
power house, and upon questioning
him found out that he had slept there
all night. He arrested the man, who
gave his name as Henry Williams and
said that he came from New orleans
last night.
The man was the most pitiable look
object that has been seen in a Ions
time His clothes were dirty, his hall
unbrushed and his general appearance
was that he. soap and water were
not very dear friends On the wit

FOSSIL OF PEACOCK FOUND.
Evidence That Gorgeous Bird Flour
ished in Prehistoric Age.

Evidence That Gorgeous Bird Flour
ished in Prehistoric Age.
The scientific bontanza of the arch
geological research workers of the
University of California-the asphalt
beds on the Rancho La Lrez, near Los
Angeles-has just produced another
wonder to the scientific world in the
shape of a peacock, the first to be
found fossilized on this continent, says
San Francisco dispatch to the New
York World.
The announcement of the finding of
the peacock, evidently one of a rare
species, has created as much interest
at the university as when Prof. J. c.
Merriam announced the finding of the
asphalt beds and the discovery of the
saber-toothed tiger-The antediluvian
predecessor of the cat family.
These asphalt beds, according to
Prof. Merriam, who is an authority on
primitive forms, were once the stamp
ing grounds of hundreds of animals
now unknown to science. They were
caught in a death-trap when they
strayed too closely to the oil deposits
of the earth, and by the processes of
age were fossilized,
In many respects the discovery of
the peacock eclipses the finding of the
eobor +oo+bod tioar Tho paocoo1y u,o @
found by Lloyd H. Miller, of the class
of 1899, of the university and is be-
leved by the finder, who has given
the bird the name of Paya califoricus,
to be the only specimen of it's family
found in fossilized form in the west
ern hemisphere, although it has been
unearthed in Europe and India
This is all the more remarkable be-
cause of the unearthing of small num-
bers of quail, a member of the same
family as the peacock The peacock
was taken from Indo-China to Europe
and America. This is the first known
evidence that the peafowl existed in
America before its discovery by Co
lumbus.
The specimen is of peculiar type,
and is not at all like the snowy bird
of today. One distinction is that the
fossil was provided with a weapon of
defense in the shape of powerful
spurs.

ENGLISH ART OF "FRiVoLITY."

New York Society Women Talk "cuI-
ture Too Much, Says Mrs. corst.
New York Herald.
"Will you tell me one thing" said
Mrs. Harold E. Gorst, a recent visitor
of distinction from London. "Why is
it that American women refuse to
'frivol?' Do they think that it is silly
and a waste of time? l have been
made to feel hopelessly unintellectual
and trivial almost everywhere l have
been in New York by the culture con
yersation going on around me. There
seems to be a culture conversation fad
on. You go to culture teas, culture
luncheons and culture dinners and the
person who does not look intellectual
and talk culture is openly frowned
upon We English women simply love
'rotting" as We call it. and we never
think that the greatest lion does not
enjoy a little frivoling. l know that
all men like it and it does not hurt
any woman, however intellectual and
clever she may be, to frivol. 1 do
wish they would try it. The relief to
us would be tremendous.
Il have seen a New York hostess
glare at her husband because he was
'roting' with me and really finding a
great pleasure in telling me about his
boyhood. All the while the disciples

to the culture conversation and not
one had the least glimmer of original
ity in it. Why not be human, say /;
be ourselves? OF course we modern
Englishwomen read, think and study,
but when we gather together socially
we amuse ourselves and each other
and we have no silly feeling that we
have wasted time. We like frivoling
and frivoling is a very entertaining
and delightful pastime. And I might
add that there is just as great an art
in knowing how to frivol as in know
ing how to discuss culture subjects"

CITY REDOFRAILROAD
MACHINES DOMINATION

Good government has won in Los
Angeles and with its victory there is a
story that is worth the telling.
The mayor, the city council and all
the other city officials chosen by the
people to serve the people, are men
whose election was urged by the Good
Government organization.
"Why did Good Government win p"
an old time machine politician was
asked last night.
"On the square, I guess the people
are getting sore at the railroad" was
the answer.
1t was a frank answer and the to-
tails returned from the city hall show
that the citizens Of Los Angeles are
tired of Southern Pacific domination
"Where did the saloon question get
in?" the old timer was asked.
Wrong" was the sharp reply.
THAT game was all a bluff to keep
the general public from getting on to
the main game that the machine was
playing"
And what was that
Don't you seee? You ought to be
on. First, the mayor controls the po-
lice commission The railroads don't
care 50 much for that, but they want
to throw it TO the boys that are living
that way as q sort Of a bonus. That's
where this cry about the closed town
started in.

from San Francisco.
THE entire Pacific coast is not de-
moralized by any means continued
the famous prosecutor, "and those
hoping for better conditions in Cali
forna see in yesterdays victory of the
Good Government league the opening
wedge for clean politics throughout
the state. In view of recent results in
San Francisco, Los Angeles is to be
doubly congratulated"
Mr.. Heney. whose resignation as as
sistant prosecutor in San Francisco
was accepted by District Attorney
Langdon on Monday, is on his way east
to press the S250.000 damage suit in
stituted in New York against w. H..

fident he has a clear case against the
