News of the Courts
AGAINST PROBATION
FOR LAWYER ROWELL
Petition of Attorney Is Postponed
Until Monday to Exam
inc Reports

Elmer Ellsworth Rowelrs hearing on
the question of probation was post
poned yesterday till Monday, in order
to give his attorneys oportunity to
examine the report of Chief Probation
officer Dodds, filed yesterday.
Captain Dodds' recommendation is
strongly against probation being grant
ed.
Rowell, after jumping his bond and
remaining a fugitive for over six
months, was recently recaptured. He
pleaded guilty, to one charge brought
against him land the others were dis
missed. Immediately following, he
asked probation, pleading that he
wished to labor to repay his creditors.
The probation officers report is in
part as follows:
1.-THE evidence shows he obtained
money from different persons to the
number Of twenty-five or thirty, and
in sums from SIC to more than double
$4,000.
II have sent out communications to
every person to whom he has referred
me, but only few have so far re-
piled. While it is undoubtedly true
that he will find men who will give
him a good reputation. l am inclined
to think they are either mistaken in
their estimation of the man, or are
unfamiliar with his recent history.
TT would be a greater task than
would care to perform to enter into
the details of all the crooked trans
actions in which this defendant has
been the principal actor.
Il most decidedly recommend that
his application for probation be de-

P.E.TO SWITCH At
LONG BEACH DOCKS
Los Angeles Company Allots the
Rights to TraCkage Con-
trolIed at Harbor
PROVIDES FOR LOW CHARGES
Clause in Contract InSureS Fair
Rates to All Lines Using
the Waterfront
PROVIDES FOR LOW CHARGES

A contract has been made between
the Los Angeles Dock and Terminal
company and the Pacific Electric Rail-
way company which will give the lat
ter all rights for switching privileges
and railroad connections at Long Beach
harbor most of which is controlled by
the Dock and Terminal company.
Plans for a private belt line have been
set aside by the Dock and Terminal
company. inasmuch as a proposition
made by the Pacific Electric company
was thought preferable.
It is thought that the deal presages
that the influence of the Pacific Elec-
trio company will be used for the I'M
proyement of this section of the harbor
The government has already been
urged by the company to grant 1t the
privilege of building two bridges above
the harbor across Cerritos slough, tc
connect the east side of the Lons
Beach harbor with the Wilmington line
of the Pacific Electric company.
All lines, II is said, are to be ad-
mitted over the Pacific Electric lines or
equal terms of reasonable switching
charges. A clause in the contract pro-
vides for this.
1t was provided in the river and
harbor bill recently passed by congress
that a survey of Long Beach harboT
should be conducted with a view to its
development by the government.
The Dock and Terminal company
originally held property consisting OF
793 acres OF this 200 acres were taken
for channels and a turning basin.
A channel in the mouth of the Los An
geles river through which access to the
ocean is gained has been dredged, as
we'll as the inner harbor. The Salt Lake
road has built a bascule bridge, lifting
a span Of 1S0 feet. across this channel.
The property will now be divided for
track yards, public streets and indus
trial sites. The Pacific Electric COM
pany will have thirty-three acres for
tracks, including a yard wide enough
to accommodate fifteen tracks. Forty
foot streets have been set aside by the
dock company.
A channel which is now only large
enough to accommodate smaller craft,
but which will be enlarged to meet the
demands for heavy shipping, connects
the Los Angeles inner harbor and the
Long Beach harbor. The Los Angeles
inner harbor thus has two outlets to
the sea.

ated against plaintiffs in selling to 9TH
er persons, under similar conditions
and circumstances, at a much less rate,

CITY OFFICIALS UNDECIDED
REGARDING CAR CO.'S PAVING

1t was discovered yesterday after
noon that the Los Angeles railway is
not complying with the new paving
ordinance in its construction work
now being done on the West Seventh
street track. The ordinance requires
that a granite or concrete base be laid.
1t is understood that the railway
company makes the excuse that its
work is done according to the fran
chise under which it is operating. The
city officials are in doubt whether to
stop the work and leave the street in
its present torn-up condition until the
courts decide whether the paving
meets legal requirements, or to allow
the work to be completed, then prose-
cute the company officials.

STEAMER SERVICE To
MEXICAN PORTS SOUGHT
Chamber of Commerce Commit
tee Asked to Guarantee
Patronage for Line

Members of the transportation ana
commerce committees OF the Los An
geles chamber of commerce are nope
full of again securing permanent steam
err connections with the west coast OF
the republic of Mexico for the tur-
therance of better trade relations ana
for the convenience of the travelling
public.
That section of the republic is nat
urally tributary to Los Angeles and
the best of steamer service is none TOO
good Negotiations are now under way
to induce the Pacific Tropical Fruit
company, of which T. F. Ryan is presl-
dent, to restore the service which was
abandoned some months ago on ac-
count of the expiration of the lease OF
the company on the seamer Homer.
Mr.. Ryan and his associates appre-
ciate the value of the trade of Los
Angeles and vicinity in the line or
fruits grown so plentifully in Mexico
and he is now in Los Angeles conferr-
ing with business men with the ann
of securing a guarantee of proper
amount of southbound business II the
steamer service is resumed.
The Ryan Fruit company is heaVy
handler of produce and is now using
the Pacific Mail line direct to San
Francisco A guarantee of business
to the amount of 200 a year out Of
Los Angeles to Mexico will secure the
restoration of the Homer or some other
steamer to touch at Los Angeles har-
Dor regularly.
Every possible effort will be made
by local committees and business men
to meet the conditions imposed. The
passenger service alone out of Los An
geles should more than aggregate in
value SIS, 900 annually, while local
wholesalers who now enjoy large trade
at the coast towns of Mexico by more
energetic effort could easily enlarge
shipments by penetrating the populous
cities of the interior.

SOMEBODY STEALS HIS
LITTLE STEAM ENGINE

Somebody has stolen my steam en-
gine," complained r. Livingston, SS7
North Main street, to an officer of the
detective department yesterday. Some
body broke through the rear door of my
warehouse at 1904 San Fernando street
and made OIL into some unknown corner
of the universe with my little steam en-
CINE"
This is the first time in many moons
that the theft of steam engine has
been reported to the police. 1t is said by
officers of the department that since the
advent of the automobile thieves making
a speciality of engines have found 1t
more convenient to pick n gasoline en-
gine already loaded. The steam engine
in recent years has been neglected.
Livingston said that his engine was a
small, portable one. The detectives had
already arrived at the conclusion that it
was portable.

CHILDREN DENIED RIGHT
TO HEAR DIVORCE CASE

Because he alleged desertion as his
grounds, instead of cruelty, Henry
William Passow was interrupted by
Judge Hutton yesterday in the midst
of his trial for a divorce from Mary
K. Passow and directed to amend his
complaint. Preceding the trial the four
children of the couple were ordered
from the room, it being deemed by the
court demoralizing for family quarrels
to be related in their presence.
Throwing lighted lamps at his head,
beating him with a stove poker, and
jealous accusations that he was think
ing of some other woman whenever he
was thoughtful, were among the expe-
piences related by the husband prior to
the interruption.
For the purpose of compromising,
permission was granted to continue the
case Of Lille o. Hutchinson against
Jesse T. Hutchinson till october 20.
