CLEVER CONSTABLE
OUTCLASSES POLICE
C. L. JORDAN, PAST MASTER IN
GAME OF WITS
Has Himself Arrested by Own Depu-
ties, Taken Before a Friendly
Justice, Thus Escaping
Magistrate
Especial to The Herald. ]

VENICE, Dec. 24.-The constabulary
of Ballona township won a skirmish
in its long feud with the Ocean, Park
police today, when the head of the
constabulary, Constable c. L. Gordon,
escaped the stiff fine the police magis-
trate had in store for him on a charge
of disturbing the peace This is the
second victory won by the constables
over the police. who have been hope
lessly outclassed in the game of wits.
Two weeks ago Jordan was arrested
on a charge of disturbing the peace
preferred by c. Shaw. a saloon keeper.
The police were jubilant, but the joy
lasted only a day. When Jordan was
arraigned before Recorder Wheeler,
his attorney demurred to the complaint
on the ground that the city ordinance
alleged to have been violated by Jor-
dan was in conflict with the state law,
and the unwilling recorder had to sus-
tain the demurrer.
The police force was not willing to
let its ancient enemy off that easily
and at once rearrested Jordan, who
was released under bail of 800. His
trial came up today. Instead of a
speedy conviction a new legal compi-
cation was announced 1t appeared
that Fred Rico. a deputy of the con-
stable. had sworn to a complaint
against his superior charging him with
the same offense: that Henry Ivy.
another one Of Jordans deputies. had
dared to arrest his boss and drag him
before Justice Of the Peace Rogers,
who was asked to resign as recorder
when the present chief of police OBJ
tanned his job. Jordan Immediately
stopped fighting. meekly pleaded guilty
and paid a fine of IS imposed by the
justice
With this previous conviction for the
same offense before him and the con-
stables attorneys expounding the doc
trine of once in jeopardy to him, Re-
corder Wheeler, who is new to the
Job his previous experience having
been mostly in the whitewashing in
stead of the Convicting line. was baf-
fled. He had the package that was to
be handed the constable all ready un-
der the judicial bench. but it is still
there The little S. gift took prece-
denCe and the recorder was forced to
take the matter under advisement. In
the meantime the constabulary are
grinning like an open-faced watch,
while the police are taking a firmer
hold of the club.

REVIVE MAD DOG SCARE
BECAUSE TWO ARE BITTEN

PASADENA, Dec. 24.-After several
days Of quiet during which the fears
of the public have been lulled TO sleep,
the mad dog scare has broken out anew
tonight because of the fact that two
people were bitten by dogs during the
day. There is no evidence that the
people bitten have been the victims of
mad dogs. but under existing condi-
tions there is fear whenever any dog
does anything out Of the ordinary.
One of the victims was a child, who
was bitten while trying to pet a stray
cur at the corner of Marengo avenue
and Colorado street. The other was a
woman whose husband has reported to
the Humane society that she was badly
bitten by her own dog. In both cases
the wounds have been cauterlZed and
every precaution taken to avoid danger.
