riding on the grass. He did not know
Roosevelt at that time from any other
horsemap, and found him cavorting over
the grass, apparently unmindful Of the
law on the subject.
Capt. Cooke held up the ex-Rough Rider
just as he would anybody else. and the
secret service man who always followed
the President came galloping up to ex-
plain who he was. But President Roose-
welt cut short the explanation with the
assurance that the policeman was quite
right and admitted that he had no more
business on the grass than any one else
The story did not get out at the time and
the Secretary of Agriculture was very
anxious that 1t should not, but the Presi-
dent laughed at the occurrence and de-
clared that 1t served him right.
The other presidential arrest or near
arrest was quite recently when President
Taft and Capt. Archie Butt were stopped
from picking flowers in the Agricultural
Department grounds. There was no auto
mobile In the case. as was reported at the
time. and Capt. Cooke knew quite well
who the President was as soon as he saw
nm He had held up Capt Butt for
picking flowers and did not know that
President Taft was the first and principal
ofrender till the next day. The Presi-
dent had been under the shadow OF
tree and was holding his flowers behind
his back when the watchman swooped
down on Archie Butt. Mr.. Taft was
virtuously indignant at Archie breaking
the law and reprima nded him severely
with his own flowers held behind him. He
assured the watchman that he was per-
sonally acquainted with Uncle Jimmy"
which was the familiar way in which he
referred to the Secretary of Agriculture
and promised that he would telephone him
In the morning and apologize for Capt.
Butts indiscretion- This he did and
gloried In having gotten away with his
own bunch of flowers unscathed

COUNCIL MAY DEMAND
LICENSES ON FELINES

their attempt to reform the poultry
situation of the city, the city council
has now taken up the subject of cats
and is planning to collect license fee.
Although, as one member of the coun-
Gil said this morning. 1T sure will take
a spry inspector TO hunt those cats up
and be sure they are all wearing license
tags. A cat does not let itself be in
spected for a license tag with the same
ennui and indifference that character
ICES a dog"
The discussion brought up visions of
inspectors climbing telephone poles and
trees. clambering noisily over back
fences and sheds, and doing other
stunts in the pursuit of the willy
felines.
The chicken ordinance. which ban
ished fowls to at least twenty feet from
a residence, was turned down. There
has been such storm of protest that

morning only three of the councilmen

SAN PEDRO, Aug. 24.-What will
probably be the final meeting of the
board of trustees of San Pedro was
held this afternoon. Little business
was attempted, and the board ad-
iourned after short session. the last
act being to present to Mayor j. w.
Walton the gavel of authority which
had been used by the presiding officer
OF the board since the incorporation OF
the city in 1888 Trustee Tilton moved
that the gavel be given to Mayor Wal
ton as a souvenir, and the motion pre-
vailed. The little gavel was presented
to the first board of trustees in 1883 by
Charles Sjoberg, who was then city
clerk.
The work Of examining the books or
the different officials is progressing
slowly DR.. Phibbs, the expert, asking
today for $3.50 to pay for the entire job.
The board thought this too much, ana
set aside $500 for that purpose. Ac-
cording to the expert, the work VIII
occupy fifty days.
All of the bills against the city were
supposed to have been in today, the
total amount paid being S2801. This
will reduce the balance in the general
fund to $27S1, which will be the amount
turned over to Los Angeles with the
sums in other funds aggregating about
$4,000

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 24.-Be-
which San Bernardino secures its

Estelle Tedford two fair residents of
Los Angeles camping in Lytle Creek
canyon, were this morning brought to
this city to answer to the charge of
polluting a public stream.
In the pursuance Of his duties, r. II.
Curtis, who has been placed in charge
of the patroling of the stream, came
on the young women in the act of en-
tering the cooling waters without their
hosiery and shoes. with little thought
that they were polluting in the least
the babbing little brook that supplies
the city several miles away with a por-
ton of it's drinking water. They inno-
Gently acknowledged to the officer that
they were not only intent on relieving
the soreness in their dainty feet caused
by a long walk through the canyon,
but had also washed their hair in the
cooling waters preparatory to return
ing again to their camp.
Inspector Curtis informed them they
would have to be brought to San Ber-
nardino to answer before the water
commission for their infringement of
the law and despite the tears OF the
fair damsels, the officer insisted that
they accompany him. They arrived
here on the Santa Fe overland early
this morning and were assigned to
quarters in a local hotel until the Of
flee of the water commissioners was
opened.
The guardian of the stream then
asked that the case be dismissed and
the Young women were allowed to de-
part with declarations that the scare
which the officer had given them would
be sufficient to cause them to refrain
for such use of the waters in the

NEW TAX RATE Is LOWEST
OF ANY SET IN SIX YEARS
Tax Levy Will Be $1.6o on the Hum
dred Dollar Valuz
alton

POMONA, Aug. 24-The city trustees
yesterday fixed the tax rate for the
coming year here at $3.50 on each $lOO
of assessed valuation, the lowest tax
rate i'm six years here, Notwithstanding
the fact that the city has doubled in
population and expanded in all direc-
tions during that period. This year the
cost of maintenance of the local high
school is taken away from the city
trustees and does not become a part of
the city tax levy. as this fund will be
dispensed from the state ana county
tax department where the levy is made,
1t is estimated this tax rate of S16O
will yield about $S4,59O for running the
city government. The appOrtiOnment
is as follows: General fund, 80 cents;
street fund, 30 cents; parks, q cents,
sewer fund, 91a cents; library fund,
1872 cents; interest on bond issues, 20

SAYS BOND ISSUE WOULD

Lieut. Leeds Declares Municipality
Owned Wharves Will Soon Pay
for Themselves

LONG BEACH, Aug. 24.-The s1O,-
900, 600 bond issue for the construction
of municipal wharves and transporta-
ton facilities by the city of Los Ange-
les will be no burden on the people"
said Lieut. Charles Leeds, Captain
Fries successor, at the chamber of
commerce and realty board banquet
last night. THE income over the
wharves will cover the cost, as in San
Francisco, where the income from the
wharVes has built new wharVes, main
tained the old ones and netted the city
an income besides"
Lieutenant Leeds said there would be
enough business for as many harbors
as could be built along this coast, and
that municipality owned harbors were
the best maintained and the most pro-
greSsiVe.
