court yesterday why he had taken a
watch and money belonging to Nick
las Swanson.
IT went around to everybody in the
house to say goodby, as l was going to
sea early the next morning" said the
boy. when l went into NicSlas' room
no one was there. AMI l saw his watch
and some money, and took them.
IT am sure 1 don't know why 1 did
it. 1 guess just because I wanted
them, not having any watch myself J"
The boy said he had never been ar
rested before, and he was granted pro-
bation on condition that he report reg
ularly for five years. His attorney
stated that q position in a brickyard
had already been found for him.

vious clean record Chief Probation Of
ficer Dodds recommended leniency, and

Standard Brick company, was wound
ed fatally near Ninth and Mateo

TWO SUITS FOR INJURIES
FILED AGAINST RAILWAYS
Los AngeIes-PacifiC and Pacific
Electric Are Defendants

Two personal injury damage suits
occupied the attention of the superior
court yesterday. Andrew Saltzer,
blacksmith, asked S5225 from the Los
Angeles-Pacific company for injuries
alleged to have been sustained January
l at High Bridge station, when he was
hit by the step of a car that failed to
stop at his signal. He claims that the
company provides but narrow space
between a fence and the track for pas
sengers to stand. and that because of
this he was struck.
Lucy Culp asks s25,693.65 for injuries
sustained by stepping from Pacific
Electric car. The question in this case
which is before Judge Hervey-is en-
tirely one of whether the car was
started before she had alighted, or
whether it had failed to come to stop
when she stepped off. In the latter
case It would be her own negligence,
and the company would not be liable.
The accident occurred on May 16,
1909, and the injury was a fractured

Municipal Affairs
CONFERENCE ON WHARF
CHARGES IS POSTPONED
Representatives of Companies
Claim They Were Not Served
with Commission Report

The meeting of the city council, the
secretary of the board of harbor COM
mlssioners and representatives of the
various wharf companies at San Pedro
which was scheduled for yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, was continued
until the afternoon of July IL at $3.50
o'clock, on the representation by coun-
sci for the wharf companies that they
had not been fully informed of the ma
ture of the proceedings, as q copy of
the report made by the harbor COM
missioners relative to the fixing of
wharf tolls and establishment of dock
licenses had not been served upon
them. The clerk of the council was in
structed to provide the wharf COM
panies with copies of the report.
City Attorney Hewitt read the Sec
tion Of the political code under which
he laid the city's right to establish
dockage rates and a license tax, and
mentioned the Importance of the con-
templated move, suggesting that the
proper government of a city's harbor
was one of its chief sources of civic
advancement
Attorney H. w. O'Melveny, repre-
senting five of the lumber companies
maintaining dock facilities at the har-
Dor, protested against the inquiry go
ing on until he and other representa-
tives of the dock interests had been
supplied with the original report Tiled
with the city clerk. Councilman Bet
koush thought the request reasonable
and the council clerk was instructed
to furnish copies.
w. K. Wheatley, representing the
Consolidated and the Pacific Lumber
companies, asked the opinion OF the
city attorney as to whether these COM
panies would be amenable to the pro-
posed license tax, inasmuch as they
had not been in business for a year,
and the tax was to be based on a
proportion of the preceding years bus
mess.
A. P. Fleming, secretary Of the board
Of harbor commissioners, deems the
matter of establishment Of wharfage
tolls and license tax to be most i'm
portant.
"a proper scale OF tolls" said Flem-
ing, will do much to make the harbor
of San Pedro a popular one with ship
ping men. We have to compete with
San Francisco and San Diego, both of
which are fighting US hard. 1t is our
intention to evolve just and equit-
able system of dockage tolls and a
license tax that is not burdensome."

HEWITT GIVES AN ADVERSE
OPINION ON CONSOLIDATION

Councilman Washburn yesterday
called upon City Attorney Hewitt at
the council meeting to give an opinion
as to the advisability of consolidation
of the city and county at this time.
"I do not believe" responded Hewitt,
"that this is a favorable time for con-
solidation, inasmuch as the provisions
of the constitution of the state relative
to consolidation Of city and county
governments are too vague and general
to make consolidation a safe PROPOSE
ton. 1t is better that we wait until
such time as an amendment to the
constitution will make the plan more
feasible.
"If YOU will remember, two years
ago Oakland had under consideration a
plan to consolidate with Alameda
county but upon noting the fraility of
the constitutional provision on the sub
ject, the plan was abandoned"

HEALTH BOARD REFUSES
TO SANCTION PROBATION

Mrs. Catherine Smith, now under
conviction for child stealing, failed in
her attempt to get the sanction of the
board of health yesterday to an apph-
cation for probation which she will
make in Judge Davis court this morn
ing. Probation officer Dodds appeared
before the board Of health yesterday
afternoon, asking the board if it would
object to her being admitted to proba-
ton.
The board would not commit itself
by taking a stand, but from individual
opinions expressed by members of the
board, Mrs. Smiths application would
have been reported unfavorably.

COUNCILMAN WASHBURN
WOULD STOP BOXING BOUTS

Councilman Washburn put himself on
record yesterday as being opposed to
prize fighting, when a communication
from the civic righteousness commit
tee Of the Church Federation was read
at the council meeting. The communi-
cation asked the council to frame an
ordinance to abolish prize fights in this
city. The matter was referred to the
LEGISLATION committee for report.
"I am unalterably opposed to prize
fights" said Councilman Washburn. II
believe that the so-called sport is de-
grading and demoralizing. If the coun-
Gil is called on to take action on this
question I think 1t should be given
careful attention"
The motion referring the question to
the legislation committee was passed
unanimously.

MAY DECLARE UNION OIL
co. PLANT A NUISANCE

From the attitude of the council yes
terday toward the future maintenance
of the pumping plant of the Union Oil
company at Second and Beaudry
streets there is a possibility of the
plant being declared a nuisance and
abated by action of the council. A
brick yard adjoining the plant is also
under suspicion as being nuisance.
Councilman Andrews objected to the
plant remaining in what had developed
into residential district, claiming that
the amount of oil stored there was a
menace to the houses in the vicinity
by reason of liability Of fire.
