MAYOR TO AID IN FIGHT
AGAINST MONEY LENDERS
Alexander Declares His Willingness to
Assist Others in Freeing City
Hall of Loan Sharks

Fire Commissioner Charles o. Haw-
ley has struck a responsive chord
among the other commissions in his
effort to wrench the clutches of loan
sharks from the city payrolls.
After learning of Commissioner Haw-
ley's determination to release the fire
department from the domination of the
money lenders, Judge Charles Silent of
the park commission visited the mayor
yesterday morning and offered his CO.
operation in the crusade as far as the
park department is concerned. Mayor
Alexander stated the police commission
would take up the question at once in
behalf of the police department.
I'VE invite the confidence of the en-
loan sharks" said Mayor Alexander
yesterday. 1--WE do not intend to crit
icise the men who have been unfor-
tunate enough to become the victims of
these money lenders, but will do what
we can to help them, and If we find a
way will free them from the slavery
into which they have been forced. We
do not want our employees to avoid pay
ing just debts If any of them in the
hands of loan sharks feel justified in
going into bankruptcy to free them
selves.
with two such determined and cap
able men as Mr.. Hawley and Judge
Silent interested in-this matter there
is sure to be a favorable outcome.
Ever since l have known anything
about this city hall the loan shark has
been the worst problem with which we
have had to deal, and we can all breathe
easier when he troubles us no more"

PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECT
TO ASSESSMENT FOR PARK

Property owners in the affected as
sessment district have entered a pro-
test to the petition that the tract of
land surrounded by Wiltshire, Com
monwealth, Sixth and Benton streets
be condemned and the land added to
Sunset park. They claim the pc
tition represents only $500 feet out of
100000 feet in the assessment district
or about flve-sixths of 1 per cent. The
protestants agree the land should be
made a part of Sunset park and that
now is the proper time to acquire it,
but contend it should be purchased at
the general expense of the city.
The petition to have this land add
ed to Sunset park was presented to
the former council and referred to the
city engineer for a report as to the
amount of frontage represented. Be
cause of a ruling of the old council,
that no petitions for park condemna-
tions which did not bear the sigma
lures OF the owners of 25 per cent of
the frontage would be considered, moth
ing was done with this petition. But
the present council has rescinded this
rule and it is probable the petition will
be presented next week.

ADMITS COMMISSION
OF MANY CRIMES
Man Accused of Entering Home of E.
L. DawIey Says He Has
Been Busy for Some
Months

Harry A. Lockwood, arrested several
davs ago and held to answer to the su-
perior court on a charge of robbing the
home of e. L. Dawley, January 6, ap-
peared in Judge Willis department OF
the superior court yesterday, and IN
addition to pleading guilty to the
charge recorded against him, acknoWl-
edged the commission of a large num-
her of other robberies extending over
period Of several months.
When Lockwood, following his arrest
bv Police Detectives Jones and BOYD,
told a portion of the story of his mis-
deeds it was the belief OF the police
department that the operations OF the
mysterious daylight burglar had been
halted. This belief while erroneous,
was due to Lockwood's confession OF
his numerous offenses.
Lockwood told a straightforward and
apparently truthful story in the GRIMM
al court Yesterday, detailing his move
ments from the time he left his native
state-New Jersey-nine years ago, un-
til he was arrested. He is nav ABOUT Il
years old In his wanderings, he SAID,
he had worked on farms, in LUMBER
camps, on shipboard and travelled from
state to state with road shows. His
first robbery was in Redlands, two
months ago. he said, when he was out
of work and needed money. Then he
went to Pasadena, where he robbed
other houses, coming to Los Angeles
and committing other similar crimes in
this city.
Lockwood asked for a probationary
sentence and gave Judge Willis a long
list of names of former employers, who,
he said, would testify as to his clean
record in the past. The decision of the
case was continued until Monday.

FINDS HEIR TO
WALDEN ESTATE
WOMAN IN IRELAND CLAIMS
TITLE TO FORTUNE
Firm of Solicitors Notifies Public ADJ
ministrator Niece of Deceased
Stands Ready to Prove
Relationship

A new claim to the rich estate left
by Matilda Walden was received yes
terday by Frank Bryson, public adj
ministrator, who was appointed by
Judge Rives in August, 1908, to take
charge of the property until a search
should determine the existence or non
existence Of relatives Of the dead
woman.
The new claimant Is Mrs. Martha
Monro, and In a letter from James
Harter & Co., solicitors, Belfast, Ire
land, it is asserted she is niece of
the deceased, closer relationship
than any heretofore put forward by
numerous persons whose petitions for
generous slices of the estate make up
the bulk of the records in the case.
Mrs. Walden died August Il, 1908,
leaving property valued at nearly
5000 900, the principal asset of the es-
tate being improved property at the
southeast corner of Main and First
streets.
Claimants to the estate have been
many since the fact was published
that the public administrator was
searching for relatives of the deceased.
Until yesterday these claimants have
declared themselves to be distantly
related to Mrs. Walden, and should
the statement of Mrs. Monro that she
is next of kin to the dead woman
prove true the property, in all PROP
ability, will be turned over to her.
According to the letter received by
Mr.. Bryson, Martha Monro is niece
of Mrs. Walden, who, they say was
a daughter of William and Martha
Wilson, formerly of Bally ConneL
County Cavan, ireland. A large array
of other facts in connection with the
Walden family history are given by
the solicitors.
