DR.. TILLMAN EXONERATED
BY HOSPITAL BOARD
Charges of Absence From Duty
Found BaSeIeSs

Assistant Surgeon T. E. Tillman of
the emergency hospital service was
fully exonerated yesterday from the
charges of absenting himself from duty
preferred by Chief Surgeon E. S. How
ard. The committee which investigated
the case. consisting of Drs. Guy E..
Manning, T. B. Roche and G. Pouchan.
reported on each charge that it was
baseless.
The board accepted the resignation
of DR.. T.. w. Parsons from the emer-
gency hospital service and appointed
DR.. +. II. Zumwalt in his stead. Doctor
zumwalt has formerly been in the
service.
The vigorous protest of Martha
Bergman and her crippled father
against being turned out of their
shack home in California street be-
tween Eighteenth. and Nineteenth ave-
nues won them at least a respite, for
the health officer was instructed to
look into their charge that the com
plant of neighbors that their prem
ises were insapitary was the outcome
of spite.

PRIZE PIANOS MUST
BE SEEN-G0 SEE THEM

We record another days progress in
the contest for new subscribers, which
The Herald is now conducting, and this
day has brought another increase in
the number of contestants who wish
to make an effort to win one of the
high grade pianos which are being Of
fered among the prizes. All those who
have called at the store of the Fitz-
gerald Music company, 52S South
Broadway, where these two pianos are
on exhibition, have pronounced them
even more attractive than any pub
lished description has indicated.
It is seldom that two such hand
some pianos are offered as prizes. The
Henry & S. G.. Lindeman, alone, is
worth more than two or three ordi-
nary instruments. 1t is one of the
finest pianos made by the Lindeman
company, and aside from being eXcep-
tionally handsome, its general con-
struction is perfect, and its tone can
not be excelled, even if 1T can be
equaled by any other piano on the
market.
The Steger G. Sons upright, which is
also one of the prizes offered is guar
anteed by the Fitzgerald Music com
pany to be one of the most perfect
instruments ever shipped them from
that factory, and anyone winning this
piano may be justly proud of it. Its
beautiful finish and massive construc-
ton makes it most attractive, and in
tone and action it more than justifies
the promise of its appearance.

Armed with, large revolver and

4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. walked
into the kitchen, where she was hold
ing her baby, and under threat of be-
ing shot compelled her to hand over
her money, amounting to $50
Mrs. Greimer had taken her infant
into the kitchen. She was seated with
the baby near the rear door when the
robber entered and commanded her to
give him all the money she had in the
house.
Mrs. Grelmer, although frightened,
denied she had any money or anything
to eat.
Il don't want anything to eat" the
man replied. II want money, and if
you don't produce some soon 1 am go
ing to shoot you" following up his re-
mark by furnishing a revolver.
II mean what 1 say" the intruder
continued, land if you don't give me
some money you never will live to tell
the police about this matter"
Mrs. Greimer hurried into her bed
room, the robber following her, and as
soon as she took her purse from a
drawer the man snatched it and rushed
out. Before he disappeared from view
he told her If she made an outcry or
attempted to inform the police she
would be killed.
AS soon as she saw the man leave
the yard Mrs. Greimer by telephone
notified the University police station.
The police We're unable to find any
trace of the bandit.
Mrs. Greimer gave the detectives an
excellent description of the robber.
She said he is about feet tall. IT'S
pounds in weight, was dressed like a
cowboy, spoke in a hoarse tone and
appeared nervous. He was smooth
shaven and kept his hat pulled down
over his eyes.

DENIES REDONDO
RIGHTS IN CITY
SAYS CARS OPERATED WITH
OUT FRANCHISE
CASE DISMISSED AGAINST MAN
WHO BLOCKS TRAFFIC
Court in Its Decision Declares Railway
Has No Legal Standing in Los
Angeles and Cannot Claim
Municipal Protection

That there is no such thing in the
city as a Los Angeles and Redondo
electric car, and that cars of that com
pany do not exist in the eyes of the
law when they are operated within the
city limits of Los Angeles, is the opin-
ion of Police Judge Rose, in a decision
rendered yesterday in the case of w.
N. Patton charged with violating the
traffic ordinance by blocking the pro-
gress of a Redondo Beach car in
Grand avenue, between Ninth and
Eleventh streets.
In giving his decision and dismisslng
the case against Patton, Judge Rose
stated that the Los Angeles and Re-
dondo Railroad company operated cars
over tracks within the city limits with
out having a franchise TO do so. The
court declared the company has no
legal right to run their cars over tracks
within the city limits. He stated that
under the law a Los Angeles and Re
dondo car running over tracks In the
city limits is not to be considered
reality.
Blocked Street Car
Patton, it seems, was driving his
auto on the tracks in Grand avenue.
He was directly in front of an out
bound Redondo Beach car and kept on
the tracks between Ninth and EleV-
enth streets and refused to turn out
and allow the car to proceed. The
motorman of the car became incensed
at being delayed and summoned Pa
trolman Denman, who promptly placed
Patton under arrest for violation OF
the traffic ordinance, a section which
requires all vehicles to give right OF
way to street cars.
Judge Rose is familiar with corpora
tion franchise matters and is we'll in
formed as to the date when fran
chises were granted to various railroad
companies. He happened to remember
an agreement made by the officers of
the Los Angeles -Redondo railway COM
pany with the officers of the Los An
geles Street Railway company, whereby
the former corporation was allowed to
use the tracks of the latter and run
cars from Second and Spring streets,
west to Broadway. thence to seventh
street. From Seventh street the Los
Angeles and Redondo company operates
cars on the Los Angeles Railway COM
pany's tracks to Grand avenue, thence
out Grand avenue and beyond the city
limits.
Uses Tracks of Other Company
According to Judge Rose the Redondo
Reach line has been in existence for
many years and during that time has
run its cars over the tracks of the
other company and has never obtained
a francise or paid one cent for the
privilege.
THE court takes judicial recognition
of the fact that as far as the law is
the Los Angeles and Re-
dondo cars do not exist in the city linn
its.'' said Judge Rose in ruling on the
matter. Therefore, 1t is quite plain
that a person cannot commit an Of
tense against the traffic ordinance by
Los Angeles herald., 1910-03-31

blocking a car that does not exist"
Judge Rose then dismissed the case
and announced that he would do like
wise in all other cases in which the
Redondo cars are concerned.
There were a number of voluntary
witnesses who wanted to testify to the
fact that the Redondo Beach cars do
not stop to take on passengers within
the city limits. Their testimony was
not admissible.
