VERNON REFUSES TO PAY
SHARE OF SEWERAGE WORK

Unless the city of Vernon pays Los
Angeles the price agreed on for the use
of the South Los Angeles main sewer,
the sewer connections that have been
made by Vernon will be closed. The
council yesterday instructed the board
of public works to take this action.
When the main was constructed
through Vernon people could make con-
nections on the payment of certain
sums. Connections have been made,
according to the city engineer, but no
money has been paid to the city.

COUNCIL INSTRUCTS BOARD
TO HAVE WIRES BURIED

The council yesterday denied the rec
ommendation of the board of public
works that the ordinance requiring the
public service corporations to place
their wires on conduits on San Pedro
street, from Fifth to Also. be repealed.
Instead the council instructed the board
to require the public service corpora
tions to place their wires underground
at once. Councilmen were indignant
over the request, Councilman Andrews
most of all.
"Presuming that the city council will
follow the recommendation Of their
friends, the board of public works, the
public service corporations have pro-
ceeded to place their poles in the new
sidewalks on this street built by private
contract" said Mr.. Andrews. 'I call
this a contemptuous outrage, and the
council should not be party to it..

ASKS COURT TO UNDO
REALTY TRANSACTION

Asserting false representations in a
deal whereby he exchanged an auto
mobile valued at $1,000 and $100 in cash

tract, James T. Barkelew yesterday
filed in the superior court an action
against Ellen B. Crowder, Frank Nor

the alleged parties to the transaction
with him. He asserts the value of
the lots was overestimated; that they
were mortgaged at the time of the ex-
change, May IA last, and that the de-
PENDANTS could not give him a clear
title. He wants his 500 back with in
terest, the automobile or $1,000 given

COUNCIL RECEIVES FIRST
BID FOR WHARF PRIVILEGE

The first bid for a wharf franchise
ever received by a Los Angeles city
council was submitted yesterday by the
National Lumber company when it Of
fered S100 for a franchise to extend its
wharf on Terminal island.
The wharf is not on disputed land,
but on property owned by the Salt
Lake, and there seems to be no ques-
ton of public rights involved; but to
prevent any possibility of such a thing
the matter was referred to the council
harbor committee and the harbor COM
mission for consideration.

PREPARATION OF 5-CENT
FARE ORDINANCE ORDERED
Council Acts on Recommendation
That City Has Right to Act

Prepare an ordinance compelling the
railway companies to grant scent fares
all over the city between Manchester
avenue and the San Bernardino base
line and the east and west city limits,
was the instruction the council gave the
city attorney yesterday morning.
This action was based on a recon-
mendation of the board of public utili-
ties that after long consideration has
decided that the city not only has the
legal right to demand 5-cent fares but
that such a demand is just.
An ordinance of the kind proposed by
the council will give straight scent
fares to Colegrove and Hollywood and
the shoestring annex as far as Man
chester All three of these places have
been demanding scent fares for
months,

All parties concerned in the action
of Henry G. Dent and N. A. Ransome,
stockholders in the California Fruit
Growers association, for an account
ing of money alleged to have been in

Hutton of the superior court when the
case was called that they desire liti-
cation here stopped as the same prop
erty is involved in a controversy in
the San Bernardino courts.
The case has been in Los Angeles
courts for four years and the docu
mentary evidence to be introduced if
the case goes on will be of immense
volume. Judge Hutton is busy hear
ing the arguments of the attorneys on
both sides in support of the requested
stay OF proceedings here at least

geles for the recovery Of taxes paid
in 1908 was begun yesterday before

AN OFFICIAL BIRD FARM.

California is the first state to es-
tablish a bird-farm. The step has
been taken as a means of fighting
the insect pests and to replenish the
supply of game-birds which has be-
come so sadly depleted by the pot
hunters. The farm is located near
Haywards, in Alameda county, and
from here the young birds are sent
out in lots of fifty and one hundred
to all parts of the state. The first
species prOpagated were the larger
woodland and field birds, such as
pheasants, quail, cartridges and wild
turkeys, and arrangements are now
being made to raise the smaller in
sect-eating birds, such IS robins and
warblers. The farm IS to be increas-
ed from forty-two acres to one hum
bred, and it is expected that eight
thousand young birds will be sent
out next year The fruit and grain
crops of California annually suffer
to the extent of many million dollars
from the insect pests, and the pests
have become more destructive as the
birds have become fewer.
California will no doubt find the
step she has taken to increase the
number Of birds in her borders a
wise one, and it is safe to say that
other states will in time follow her
example.

A Gratifying News Item.

From the Savannah News.
About the most gratifying item of
information that has come out of
Athens lately is the announcement
that the experts of the State College
of Agriculture have succeeded in pro-
ducing a species of cotton that will
resist anthracnose. When that dis
ease appears in a cotton field the
crop for the season is practically
doomed. The new variety, if it
comes up to expectations, will save
Georgia and the south large sums
of money each year. If the experts
had done nothing else for the ad-
vancement of prosperity in the cot
ton belt this one discovery would
have amply justified their employ
ment We shall doubtless hear at
some time in the near future that
the boil weevil evil has been rem
dered practically harmless by the
discoveries of agricultural scientists.

THE SAME OUT OR IN.

The Albany Herald thinks that,
although he may not be a dead
one, after this years experience
with Tom Watson it is probable
the loyal democrats of the state will
not be willing to let down the bars
for him to get inside the party pas
ture again right soon, and unless
he shah show signs of returning
sanity and repentance as well he will
be forced to raise his disturbance
outside the democratic household in
the future Like he did four years
ago, for instance, when he exerted
a considerable influence in the dem
ocratic primary while openly pro-
claiming that he was not a demo-
crat. AS is we'll known, it was not
until this summer did Mr.. Watson
announce his return to the demo-
cratic party.

WORDS WE'LL SPOKEN,

From the Macon Telegraph.
Visiting the city house of refuoe
for 'incorrigible" boys in Cincinnati
a few days ago President Taft asked
one of the young inmates hat he
wanted to do in life Il want to be
president of the United States" the
boy answered seriously. Addressing
the boys generally the president
said:
There are places that give more
happiness to men than president of
the United States. 1t is enough for
you to grow up to be good men and
women, to be always honest, kindly
and to do right. The satisfaction
that you can get from that life is
much greater than what you would
pet by being president.
These were words we'll spoken.
The office of president is by no
means an unmixed joy, and only
those should aspire to it who are
great in both mind and heart. The
time is past, if there ever was a
time, when every American boy
might, with propriety, cherish such
lofty hopes. 1t is more wholesome
to inspire boys, of whatever class,
with the desire to be good and use
full citizens than to instill into their
young minds unavoidably selfish am
billions to high personal distinction.
