ATTACK IN LAND
POLICY FAILS
Judge Refuses to Mandamus
Campbell to Make Him
Open Homestead.

The attack on the land policy Of the
Territory which was made last week by
John Greig Of Hilo, when he brought
a petition for writ of maudamus to
compel Marston Campbell, commissioner
Of public lands, to open up certain lands
in Kau, has failed, Judge Robinson
yesterday morning, after listening to
the arguments of the lawyers, granted
the motion of AttorneyGenera Lindsay
TO quash.
The land which Greig was after is a
part of that which was surveyed sew
eral years ago for the Thompson Settle
ment Association. Several of the lots
at that time surveyed were not taken
up and were withdrawn. GreIg wanted
one of them, and his application being
refused because Of the fact that Gov
ernor Frear's policy is not to turn over
any more land on right-of purchase con-
tracts, he brought the petition for a
writ Of mandamus TO compel the land
commissioner to give him what he
wanted.
Greig was represented by Wade War
rem Thaver, who cOntended that as the
land commissioner had taken the pre-
iiminary steps toward opening up the
land he was compelled by law 70 pro-
coed.

JUDGE COOPER NOT
EASY ON OFFENDERS

Offenders convicted in the district
court who appeal to Circuit Judge
Cooper are beginning to find that they
don t get off any easier if they are
convicted by or before him. Several
times since the new judge took his seat
on the bench, he has mad to deal with
appeals from the district court, and i'll
each case he affirmed the sentences
passed by Judge Andrade.
Yesterday morning 1t was two Japa-
nese gamblers who got bumped. Fheir
names are Yamishira and Harada and
they were convicted in the police
court of running a che fla game. Judge
Andrade soaked them $3.50 and costs
each. They appealed and yesterday
they got the same old dose at the hands
OF Judge Cooper.

SUPREME COURT FORMALLY
DISBARS w. J. DANF0 ORD
Former Attorney, Recently Convicted
of Forgery, Officially Enjoined
from Practicing

W. ]. Danford, who will be SEN
fenced this morning by Judge Davis
of the criminal court for forgery, in
connection with sending a telegram
regarding the value of bond alleged
to be worth $4,000, of which he was
found guilty by a jury last week, was
formally disbarred by the supreme
court of the state yesterday at San
Francisco. He was disbarred on the
ground that he fraudulently repre-
sented to a client that he was entitled
to appear before the United states
circuit court for the southern district
of California.
While Danford has been referred to
for several months as disbarred at
torney, he has Indignantly denied that
he was disbarred. For nearly year
he has appealed his disbarment by the
superior court to the supreme court
and he has contended that he was
not disbarred until the supreme court
had decided on his appeal. His FOR
NAL disbarment yesterday, therefore,
finally settles the question.
His last appearance as an attorney
in court was in defense of himself be
fore Judge Davis last week, when he
assisted Attorney Grove Walters to
conduct the case for the defense. The
Jury found him guilty and motion Tor
a new trial was made on saturday
morning on numerous grounds.
Arguments for a new trial Will be
heard this morning by Judge Davis be-
fore Danford's sentence is pronounced.

BOYS DEATH RESULTS IN
SUIT FOR HEAVY DAMAGES
Mrs. Rosa Sommer Brings Action
Against Los Angeles Railway
Company for $4,000

Mrs. Rosa Sommer began an action
in the superior court yesterday MORN
ing before Judge Bordwell against the
Los Angeles Railway company for
200 damages for the death of her
son, Thomas aged II, who was killed
by car the evening of June II, 1908.
She alleges the boy was riding his
bicycle along Maple avenue between
Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth streets,
that when he attempted to cross the
tracks there was ample room for the
motorman, C. l.. Snyder, to stop the
car, Instead of slowing up, she al
leges the motorman sent the car along
at q speed of thirty-five miles an hour
III violation of the eight miles an hour
ordinance.
She also charges the company with
negligence in providing a fender which
failed to work when it struck the boy,
because it was too high from the
ground.
The plaintiff stated that she had
been a widow for ten years and that
the boy was her sole support. He was
a messenger.
The morning was occupied by secur-
ing a jury and the taking of testi-
mony began in the Afternoon.

.LABORERS TO ACT
AS PARK POLICEMEN
Commission Plans Saving Of $4,000 a
Year by Abollshlng Five POSI-
lions and Vet obtain
Better Service

BY abolishing the positions of five
watchmen in the city parks the park
commission will save approximately
$4,000 a year. The commission yesterday
determined to ask the council to pass
an ordinance abolishlng the watchmen
in Central, Hollenbeck, Eastlake, Echo
and Westlake parks. Central park is
to be policed by regular uniformed pa
trolmen from the police department,
and laborers are to perform the duties
of watchmen in the other parks,
These laborers are to be assigned to
different shifts throughout the day,
and while they are acting as Watchmen
they will also work the sprinlllers.
The commission believes 1t is folly to
have the sprlnklers going during the
heat of the day, and by the new plan
they expect to get better results from
the laborers as we'll as save money.
A portion of the money they save in
this way they will ask the council to
let them spend on immediate engineer
ing and construction work in Central
park. Judge C. d. Silent will go before
the council at its session today and
ask that the park commission be per-
mitted to employ an engineer to work
out a scheme for Central park and to
draw against its fund for the $1,000 to
pay the engineer and begin construc-
ton work. BY the ordinary process
1t would require until midsummer be-
fore the red tape could be sufficiently
unwound to permit the commission to
do anything in this park, but the COM
mission is anxious to get to work be-
fore the planting season is over

RILEY WILL IS
DECLARED VALID
COURT HOLDS TESTAT0R WAS
OF SOUND MIND
Three Brothers Bring Contest Because
Greater Portion of Estate
Had Been Bequeathed
to Others

Judge Conrey of the superior court
yesterday upheld the validity of the
will OF the late William Riley, who
left an estate of 100000. The will was
contested by James Riley, Charles
Riley and Miles Riley, brothers of the
deceased, who declared that Riley in
1908 had been influenced by Miles and
Julia Long, who secured about half
the estate. The plaintiffs declared
that the Longs had poisoned the mind
Of the deceased against them ana
that the brother was of unsound mind.
Miles Long was remembered in the
will with one-nnth of the estate and
Julia Long received all the personal
effects at the Riley home. Besides
this the Longs were decided property
in Los Angeles shortly before Riley S
death valued at $4,000.
The remainder of the estate, ap-
praised at $4,000 in real estate and
$4,000 in stocks and bonds, was diVid-
ed in nine parts, of which Charles,
James, George and Maggie Riley, Mrs.
Margaret Milligan, Miles A. Long,
John Riley and William Riley each
received ninth, the remaining ninth
being divided up among several other
relatives,
In handing down en- opinion on the
validity of the will Judge Conrey de-
clared that the manner in which Riley
disposed of his affairs before his death
proved he was of sound mind. He
said the most that could be urged i'm
favor of the charges against the Longs
was that they profited most by the
terms of the will and that they were
living in the same house with William
Riley, which might have given them
the opportunity to exercise undue in
huence.

PLANS REDUCTION OF
ELECTION EXPENSES
Ordinance VIII Require All Supplies
Be Returned to City Clerk,
Later to Be
Used

With elections occurring in Los An
geles nearly every month and eacn
election costing from $4,000 to $l5,Ooo
the city council has determined to re-
duce the expense as much as possible:
The first step in this direction VIII
be the passage of an ordinance the
CITY attorney will present today COM
nelling all election officers to return
the supplies that are furnished them
These supplies consist of pens, pen
ellis. rubber stamps, copies OF election
laws and all other paraphernalia USED
AT election except the booths, tables
and chairs. These must be returned
to the city clerk at the same time the
election officers turn in the tally sheets
and great register. The city clerk
viii use these supplies at subsequent
elections.
Heretofore it has been necessary to
advertise for supplies for each cleo
ton and the cost of these supplies
have reached into the thousands or
dollars. Very little has ever been re-
turned by election officers and that
has been thrown out as rubbish.
This drain on the public purse Is TO
be stopped by the adoption OF the
ordinance.

JUDGES BARRED FROM
TRYING DAMAGE SUIT
Case Against Chamber of Commerce
Passed Along by Magistrates
Who Belong to Or
ganizatlon

Owing to the fact that the superior
judges of Los Angeles county are all
members of the chamber of commerce,
considerable difficulty is being expert
enced by Albert Linde to find judge
before whom to have tried his suit
for $30,048 damages against the
chamber.
Judge Wilbur transferred the case
to department four presided over by
Judge Hutton. The latter, however, is
a member of the chamber of commerce,
and If he tried the case he would oc-
cupy the peculiar position of being
Judge over a case in which he is a
member of the defendant organization.
Upon this ground the case was sent
back to Judge Wilbur. and yesterday
IL was sent by him to department ten,
presided over by Judge Moss, for the
April term of court in that depart
ment, where a jury will decide cases
during the month. 1t is believed that
the deciding of the suit by jury will
be satisfactory and a date will be set
by Judge Moss for trial of the suit
when some outside judge happens to
be presiding.
Lindo was an employe of the firm
of Crews & Dalton, which was making
some repairs to an elevator in the
chamber of commerce building on
July 81, last. While at work he stuck
his left leg through the partition sepa-
rating two elevator shafts and al
leges that an elevator ascending the
shaft adjoining the one in which he
was at work hurt his leg so badly that
he sustained permanent injury, dis
abling him from work.
In answer to the suit, the chamber
of commerce alleges that Linde was
not seriously injured, and if he was
that it was through his own careless
ness, in view of the fact that he was
aware that the other elevator was
working and there was no need for him
to stick his leg where it would be in
iured.

RESPONDENT WOMAN ENDS
LIFE WITH CARB0LlC ACID
lngIewood Woman Tells Husband she
Wished to Die Because of Fall
ure to Regain Health

Despondent because of ill health Mrs.
Josie Grant Wilson. 40 years old, COM
mitted suicide by drinking quantity
of carbolic acid at her home at Zz4
Locust avenue, Inglewood, early Sun
day morning.
Mrs Wilson, it seems, arose while
other members of the family were
asleep. She entered the dining room and
drank the poison. Her husband, James
w. Wilson, was awakened by her
groans. He hurried to her side ana was
told that she wished to die because
she despaired of regaining her health.
Wilson hurriedly notified DIR. Put
nam. The physician arrived soon az
terward, but despite his efforts Mrs.
Wilson died several hours afterward'
Through a misunderstanding the cor
oner did not learn that it was a case
of suicide until yesterday morning.
The body was taken to the under
taking establishment of Pierce Broth
ers and the coroner will sign certi-
ficate of suicide without holding an in
quest.
