CRIPPLE GIVES BATTLE
To POLICE AND DOCTORS
Surgeons and Attendants at Re-
ceiving Hospital Struggle
with BeIIigerent Patient

Though he walked into the hospital
on crutches, his right leg having been
amputated years ago. Ed Watson,
known to the police as a professional
beggar. gave attaches of the receiving
ing hospital a tussle that they will not
soon forget when an effort was made
to place him on the operating table
yesterday morning.
Watson was arrested on East First
street for begging. According to the
officers he had printed cards in his
pocket which he PASSED out to pedes-
trians in an effort to enlist their sym
pathy When placed in the patrol
wagon he was found to be drunk and
he immediately began to show re-
sentiment over his arrest by beating
his head against the sides of the
wagon. When he reached central sta
tion his forehead was bleeding and
there were minor bruises on his skull.
Instead of going at once to Jail Off
Ger Canto took his prisoner to the re-
ceiving hospital, wher he asked that
the mans wounds be dressed When
he tried to place his prisoner on the
operating table. Watson flung away
his crutches, threw himself on the floor
and began striking out blindly with
his fists. Despite his missing limb
he soon proved himself a powerful
adversary.
1t was several minutes before Canto
and the hospital attaches could get
close enough to Watson to hold his
arms and place him on the table. Even
when he had been stretched at full
length he writhed and wriggled so
successfully that DR.. Carter gave up
the case and allowed the man to be
taken to the Jail, fearing that he might
do violence.

MEXICAN SAYS NOISES IN
HEAD WON'T LET HIM WORK
Judge Thinks Jail Sentence Cure
for Strange Affliction

In the opinion of city Jail attaches
certain "noises" that Lothered S. Per-
gosa, a Mexican, to such an extent that
he couldn't work, will maintain
deathlike silence for at least 120 days.
If. however, the noises persist in
making themselves heard, other RENEE
dies probably win be tried after that
length of time.
Police Judge Frederickson yesterday
afternoon sentenced Pergosa to 120 days
in Jail for vagrancy. The prisoners
wife appeared against him and de-
clared he had long since refused to
work. Lately she said he had sat
around the house all day long, eating
the food the Associated Charities sent
her and the children.
Noises keep ringing in my head
which tell me l mustn't work. Pergo-
sa told the court. "While [ was in
Mexico these noises first came to me-
telling me that the Lord objected to
m. working amy more. The voices in
sisted that l pack my household goods
and bring my family to Los Angeles
In that city the voices told me l should
never again be bothered with work.
THE noises have done you a great
injustice" said Judge Frederickson.

CONVICTED THIEF BLAMES
QUEER IMPULSE FOR CRIME
Walter Prescott Sentenced for
Stealing Robe and Whip

"A couple Of hundred days added
to nineteen years don't make much
difference" said Walter Prescott, con-
fessed thief. as he left Police Judge
Frederickson's court yesterday after
noon and returned to the city Jail to
serve $50 days. But Of course, to
speak the level truth, 1 would rather
be outside than in"
Prescott was arrested three days ago
for stealing a lap robe and whip
from buggy in the downtown sec
ton. When asked why he stole, he
merely shrugged his shoulders and
told Judge Frederickson to draw his
own conclusions. Since explanations
would not help his case, he said he
preferred to say nothing. After re-
ceiving his sentence Prescott said:
ITO tell the truth l don't know why
I took them. 1t seems that there is
something inside me that won't let me
do right. and / suppose l must pass
practically the rest of my days in Jail"

.S.P. ABSORBING LAP.
BLOW TO SANTA MONICA
Lumber Shipments Will Not Be
Received alta Port Los
Angeles After Jan. |

Long cherished and oft deferred
hopes of Santa Monica that it would
some time become an important port
of entry to Southern California appear
to have received their final quietus
through the absorption of the Los
Angeles-Pacific by the Southern Pa
cifi0 railroad. Lumber dealers at Santa
Monica are in receipt of communica-
tions from D. w. Pontius, traffic mani
ager of the Los Angeles-Pacific rail-
road, stating that no lumber shipments
will be received at the wharf of Port
Los Angeles after January 1.
1t is understood that the long wharf,
which was built by Coils p. Hunting
ton at cost of $1,0O0,00O, will be torn
down as menace to navigation. The
half mile or more of pier was built by
the railroad magnate at the time that
he was planning great harbor for
Santa Monica, which plans were de-
feated by the preference of the federal
government for San Pedro.
Four miles of railroad track are
laid on the pier For some time the
wharf has not been kept in repair, and
it was intimated that an expenditure
of $25.00O would be required to put it
in shape.
Robert Sherman, general manager of
the Los Angeles-Pacific company.
stated last evening that owing to the
consolidation in which the Southern
Pacific interests secured control of the
electric lines serving San Pedro har-
Dor, there was no longer any use of
the company sending lumber to Port
Los Angeles when better docking facil-
tiles could be had at San Pedro with
out loss of profit to the railroad. 1t is
said that the port was used by the
Southern Pacific only because in land
ing at San Pedro the profit Of hauling
the lumber from there to Los Angeles
was shared by other interests. Now
that the railroad has control Of the
Pacific Electric lines this profit shar-
inr. K eliminated

Largest Sum Received in a Day
Arrives in Mailed Checks

That S4,510,174.10 was collected in
taxes in Los Angeles county in No
vember was shown in the report which
W. o. Welch, county tax collector,
made yesterday. Partial accountings
with John N. Hunt, the county treas
urer, left only St,S57,5 ,552.59 TO be turned
over to him yesterday.
The apportionment of the total re-
ceipts will result in the fifty-three
road districts receiving $272. 900 and the
1873 school districts getting $1,663 426.25.
OF the latter amount the Los Angeles
city schools will receive 1894. ell;
Pasadena, S170,994.12; Long Beach.
$102, 467.97; Pomona, $5176i57, and
Santa Monica, 39.3S2.05.
Tho greatest amount of taxes re-
ceived in one day in payment of the
first installment of the tax levy of
1910-1911 arrived in the mails the day
following that upon which the first
assessment became delinquent. when
$685.. 1884 was the total. That was ac-
counted for by the fact that the heaV-
lest taxpayers retained control of
their money as long as they could.

PATR0LMAN c. A. IMUS
FORCES CHAMPION RIDER
'hCadIiner' for Mounted Squad a
Former Cowboy on the
Arizona Ranges

Although he weighs 200 pounds, Pa
trolman c. A. linus of the traffic
squad, also "headliner" of, the new
mounted squad, believes heNcan out
ride many men weighing 140 pounds.
His record tends to show that he can
do il, too, for he led the patrolmen
who tried out in feats OF horseman-
ship.
Patrolman linus made a perfect
score. 100 points. in the contest in
Agricultural park. Nine other men
will be appointed to the mounted
squad with him. AS linus, who has
been OH the force two years, is for
mer cowboy and horse trainer. 1t was
a simple matter for him to make good
in the contests.
The strenuous tests TO which the
contestants were subjected proved
quite difficult for a few of the as
pirants for mounted details proved to
be of little consequence for linus.
linus was born in the cattle coun-
try of Arizona and passed his time
until he reached his majority on his
fathers cattle ranch, which embraced
parts of Mojave and Yavapai counties.
later engaging in the stock business
himself, buying and training horses.

CARS COLLIDE AT CORNER;
WOMAN'S FINGER INJURED

one sprained finger was the only
injury resulting from collision be-
tween two street cars at Twelfth and
San Pedro streets late yesterday af-
ternoon The injured persons-Mrs.
J.. f. Stewart, 35 years old, of 115l
East Twenty-third street-was thrown
from her seat by the impact and her
left small finger caught in the seat
as she fell and was twisted. Three
other passengers were shaken up con-
siderably, but were not hurt.
The accident evidently was due to
misunderstanding of signals. A west
bound Griffith avenue car was almost
over the crossing when the rear end
was strack by a southbound San Pedro
car. The Griffith avenue car was
forced from the rails and broken glass
and splintered woodwork fell on the
four passengers in the wrecked car.
Mrs Stewart was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital where her finger was
bandaged.

Progress in Learning
coNTRABAND PROGRAM SEEN

Gin wut Wah, convicted OF
smuggling and attempted bribery, and
who was sentenced in the United
states district court several days age
to serve two years in the federal penn
tertiary at Fort Leavenworth, mas
given information to the Immigration
officers which resulted yesterday in the

height of fashion, speaks English fu-
emily and has been a student at the
Polytechnic high school three years.

The men were arrested by Deputy
United States Marshal Bert Franklin
and were taken to the county jail late
yesterday afternoon.
Marshal Franklin is searching for
Wong Wing Hing, another Chinese
who was implicated in the confession
of the convicted smuggler.
The confessions made by Wah, it Is
said, are of such a nature that new
light has been thrown on the smuggling
situation, and one which, III found
authentic, will materially aid Chief
Inspector Connell of the immigration
service in putting r. stop to the opera
tions of a smuggling ring.
The Polytechnic student protests his
innocence. He blames Wong Fung, a
Chinese awaiting trial on smuggling
charges, and who comes before an i'm

his arrest, and states that Fung was
Jealous of his progress at school and
angry with him for his refusal to take
part in smuggling aliens into this coun-
try
