YACHT CLUB is SUED
BY FORMER SECRETARY
Alleged Breach of Contract Is Made
Basis of Action Brought Against
South Coast Organization

In q suit filed against the South
Coast Yacht club yesterday, Stinson
Jarvis demands $41S.26. Jarvis was
formerly manager and secretary of the
organization, resigning October % of
last year, he says, because he could
not sanction the conduct of members
and guests.
Jarvis demands the sum mentioned
for alleged breach of contract, the fail
ure of the club to live up to the pro-
visions of his agreement being the
basis of the suit. Jarvis was employed
March 10, 1909, at a salary of SIS a
month, and among other things, he
says, it was stipulated that If he took
the position the place would be con-
Quoted in such a manner that it would
be a proper residence for himself and
his family of wife and three minor
children.
During his service, he says, this con-
tract was violated.
Jarvis says he protested against vio-
lations of the agreement and presented
the matter to the board of directors.
The directors, he adds, found one
member guilty and fined him $25, only
later to remit the fine, dismiss the
charge and order the record of the af-
fair destroyed. In addition, he says,
the directors passed a resolution CEN
surfing him for allowing the miscon-
duct Of club member to become gen.
orally known. Jarvis says he felt
called on to resign after this action
of the directors and that he has been
unable since to find work.

Partial Agreement May Result in Dis

Made Against L. E.
Blgler

The reaching of an agreement yes
terday as to the character of num-
Der of disputed papers prevented the
placing in the records of the superior
court the story of numerous auto rides,
sightseeing trips and visits to star
readers and palmists in search of short
cuts to wealth, alleged to have been
taken by Miss Jennie Thomson, an at
tractive school teacher, and l.. e. Big
ler an investment broker. The agree
ment also, 1t is believed, will result in
the dismissal of a complaint in Judge
Davis. criminal court, in which Bigler
is charged with embezzlement. The
trial on this charge is set for Febru-
airy 9.
Miss Thomson was the plaintiff in
the action decided by Judge Conrey
yesterday. She sought to recover
$S400, which, she said, was placed in
Bigler's hands for investment, but
which the broker declared was money
borrowed by him and for which he
had given Miss Thomson promissory
notes. He admitted these notes were
still outstanding and judgment entered
against him for the full amount, less
$685. so, which he claimed as rebate
for repairs on Miss Thomson's auto
mobile.
Miss Thomson, through her attorney,
expressed satisfaction with the judg-
ment, although in the preliminary ex-
animation of Bigler on the embezzle-
ment charge she said the notes were
given to her as receipts for her money.
Witnesses called for the trial of the
case were prepared, it is said, to tell
of long automobile rides of Bigler and
Miss Thomson, the trips being inter-
rupted by visits to seers and NEGRO
mancers, palmists and mind readers
in their efforts to learn the outcome of
investments and to gain information
concerning future business ventures.
On one occasion, it is said, Miss Thorn
son purchased a grinning Billiken and
presented it to Bigler as an emblem
of good luck. The figure was thrown
into the ash can, it is added, when the
first investment following its purchase
was a losing one

ALLOWS MRS. BORUFF TO
SELL PERSONAL PROPERTY
Court Further Modifies Temporary Re-
straining Order Against Man.
ayers of Big Porter Estate

A second preliminary hearing of the
injunction suit to prevent Mrs. Fred
1. Boruff and her husband from selling
or encumbering the property of the
George K. Porter company, was held
in Judge Conrey's court yesterday and
resulted in a further modification of
the temporary restraining order issued
by Judge Wilbur January 6. Besides
being permitted to dispose of the stock
and bonds of the Mission Land and
Water company for not less than $780,
900, Mrs. Boruff and her husband will
be allowed under the amended order to
dispose of personal property to the
amount of $1,000 each month, the pro-
ceeds to be used in paying small claims
and the payment of wages not to eX-
coed $4,000 a month is also allowed.
Charges that might affect the general
conditions of the ranch must be re-
ferred to the court. The restraining
order as amended will remain in force
until a final determination of the in
junction suit, the date for the trial Of
which has not been set.
The suit was brought by the Los An
geles Trust and Savings bank as agent
for B. F. Porter, Jr., and charged mis-
management on the part of his mother,
Mrs. Boruff, and her husband.

CITY MAY NOT PAY FOR
BRIDGE ACROSS ARROYO
Board of Public Works Recommends
Property Owners in Assessment
District Stand Burden

City money will not pay for the
bridge across the Arroyo Seco at Ave
nue. Forty-three, if the council needs
the recommendation Of the board of
public works. The board will suggest
that an assessment district of benefited
property owners be formed and the
money necessary for the bridge con-
struction raised in the district.
The city engineer yesterday pre-
scented plans and specifications for this
bridge to the board of public works,
acting on the orders of the previous
council. The plan calls for a 126-foot
span made from the materials of the
old Main street bridge. The use of
these materials has considerably less
ened the cost of the bridge, and the
engineer estimates that $4,000 will pay
the cost of the concrete abutments and
other work necessary for the construc-
ton of the bridge.
The board of public works believes no
great public need is served by building
o bridge at this point any more than
any other of the residence streets along
the arroyo and that whatever public
need there is is met by donation of
the material of the old Main street
bridge.

AQUEDUCT ENGINEER
SUES CITY FOR SALARY
Former EmpIoye Suspended by Civil
Service Commission Claims
$500 Is Due Him

Thomas w. Young, through his at
torney, Earl Rogers, yesterday filed a
demand with the board of public works
for 800. This amount represents sal
airy from December To-. 1906 to April 1,
1907, which Young claims he should
have received but did not.
Young alleges he was a civil engi-
neer in the water department from
1895 until the present year, and that
on December 10, 1906, while he was
working on the aqueduct he was sus-
pended by j. b. Lippincott, who told
him charges would be preferred
against him. April 1 he was notified
by the civil service commission that
Lippincott had preferred charges and
on that date he was legally suspended
Later the charges were withdrawn and
Young went back to work for the city.
He claims his suspension by Lippin-
colt was not legal and he wants his
pay from the time Lippincott told him
he was suspended until the civil service
commission acted. He was discharged
the first of this month for overstay-
ing a leave of absence.

ASK NEW REGULATIONS
FOR STREET OPENINGS

The board of public works will call
the attention of the council to policy
adopted by the former legislative body
that it regards as a mistake, and will
ask the present council to correct it.
The former council instructed the
city engineer to bring no proceedings
for opening and widening of streets
unless a petition signed by the owners
of a majority of the frontage in the
assessment district petitioned for it.
The former council adopted this policy
in order to avoid hearing complaints
of property owners who did not wish
the Improvement and also to save
themselves trouble and annoyance.
The city engineer reported to the
board of public works yesterday that
this order was handicap to his de-
partment, as he had many petitions for
opening and widening of streets some
of them meritorious, but that he could
not proceed because of the former
councils instructions. The board will
ask the council to rescind this order.

DISCRIMINATION SUIT
SETTLED OUT OF COURT
Case Brought Against Southern Paci-
fic Railroad by Pomona Fruit
Shipper Is Compromised

The trial of suit in which allega-
tions of discrimination were made
against the Southern Pacific was pre-
vented by a reported settlement out of
court yesterday. The case was that
of William G. Pam, doing business as
the Independent Fruit company of
Pomona, against the Southern Pacific
for damages of $4,000 on account of
failure to furnish cars for fruit ship
ments. The basis of this purported
settlement is kept secret.
Pam claimed he delivered 1854 boxes
of oranges to the railroad station at
Pomona in April, 1907, to be shipped
to Boston, New York and other cities
in the east. His contract with the
railway corporation, he said, provided
that cars would be furnished within
twenty-four hours after delivery of
fruit, but he was compelled to wait
twenty days before he was given the
necessary shipping facilities, and by
that time the fruit had become dis
colored and had deteriorated in value.
Pam added that competing orange
growers were furnished cars promptly
and that the railroad company dis
eliminated against him.

no circumstances would she consent
to the marriage to McDevitt, and she
would be upheld by the California

ing Ruth Smith, is now in the county

WILL READJUST
CITY SALARIES
SEVENTY PER CENT OF REEVE
NUE. PAID EMPLOYEES
Heads of Various Departments Called
on to Submit Reports Regarding
Duties of Subor-
dinates

Notices calling on the heads of all
departments of the city government to
furnish information concerning the de-
partment employees was sent out by the
supply committee of the council yes
terday. The notices ask for the num-
Der of employees, their names, addresses,
ages, salary, hours of employment,
nature of service and whether they are
under civil service.
This action is preparatory to the re-
adjustment of salaries paid city en-
ployes. This question is to be thorough
fy investigated 10y the supply commits
tee, acting with representatives from a
number of civic bodies, and many city
employees are becoming nervous, for
they realize there is danger of their
salaries being reduced.
The idea of a commission to consider
the matter of salaries was suggested
to the council in a message from Mayor
Alexander. The mayor made the same
suggestion to the previous council, but
received no support except from two
members of the former finance COM
mittee.
The payrolls in the city hall have
been matter of concern to the present
economical administration, which is
anxious that the people at large should
receive some of the money they pay in
taxes in permanent Improvements. Al
ready about 20 per cent of the city's
total income is paid out in maintenance
and permanent improvements
At the rate at which salaries have
been increased in the last few years it
would soon become necessary to issue
bonds to pay the city employees, in ad-
dition to turning over to them all the
city's revenue.
It is recognized that some employees
are overpaid, and at the same time
some do not receive as much as they
should. In some departments there are
employees who do little for the money
they receive every month, while in
other departments the employees have
all they can do. The distribution of
help will be considered by the salary
commission as thoroughly as the mat
ter of pay.

Cough Weather

When the weather is cold and stormy,
most of us are more or less subject to
the unpleasant experience of colds, with
the consequent wearing strain of thu
cough and the danger of more serious
trouble apt to follow neglect.
People who practice deep breathing
and who use ordinary care to avoid.
sudden changes OF temperature, damp
ness and exposure, are less liable to
take cold than those of less methodical
habits. At the first sign of a cold steps
should be taken to check It. simple,
inexpensive and effective remedy is made
by mixing two ounces Of Glycerine, half
ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure and eight ounces of pure whisky. 1t
Is claimed by the Leach Chemical Co. of
Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine
Virgin OIL Of Pine compound pure for
dispensing through druggists, that a
teaspoonful of this mixture four times
day will break up a cold in twenty
four hours and cure any cough that is
durable.
