SILENT OPPOSES PAYING
$4,000 FOR PARK LEASE
Payment on Demand for AgricuI-
turaI Square Is Held Up
by the Board

The demand for $4,000 for the lease
of Agricultural park for fifty years did
not entirely meet the approval of some
of the members of the park commits
sion yesterday, especially Judge Silent,
and payment on the demand was with
held until the judge can make a
thorough examination of the lease.
The $4,000 must be paid by the park
department, although it will not come
out of the park fund. The money was
transferred by the council from the
general expense fund to the credit of
the park fund to be used for this pur-
pose. But Judge Silent does not want
the books of the department in which
he is so deeply interested to show this
payment unless they also show that
the city receives some adequate COM
pensation.
Judge Silent would like to have the
park commission have something to
say about how the money is to be spent
in Agricultural park. The park is
under the control of the Sixth District
Agricultural association, and any plans
the city may make must first be ap-
proved by that body before they can be
executed.
It is planned to make Agricultural
park one of the most charming recrea-
tion centers in California. The state
has donated several hundred thousand
dollars, the county $150,000 and the city
100000 to be spent in museums and
other public buildings and beautifica-
tion of the grounds. In order that the
city might participate in the scheme it
was necessary for 1T to lease the prop
erty as a legal form, for fifty years.
1t is the payment of this money that
has caused the hitch in the park de-
partment.

Municipal Affairs
SECURE STREET BOON
BUT MUST HELP CITY
Right to Use Part of Municipal
Thoroughfare Is Granted
Under Conditions

Charles Frost and others can have a
portion of Council street that is not of
any public benefit, but Mr.. Frost and
consideration of the abandonment of
that part of the street by the city.
They will have to dedicate for public
use the necessary portions of lots 26
and q of subdivision No. of Forest
park for the extension of Common
wealth avenue from the north line of
Council street to the north line of the
lots.
They will have to improve Common
wealth avenue from First street north
by constructing brick pavements and
cement cutters, curbs and sidewalks
They will have to improve Council
street from the west line of Common
wealth in the same manner.
This is the report the board of pub
lis works will make to the city council
today. Last week Mr.. Frost petitioned
the council to abandon a portion of
Council street that is not in use and
the council sent the petition to the
board of public works.
The board is forming a habit of de-
manding something in exchange for
portions of the citys domain. The
former council seldom referred these
matters to the board of public works,
but abandoned streets and alleys in
reckless manner without charge.
The new council has exacted as high
as $4,000 for the abandonment of a por-
tion of a street that was of no value
except to the person asking the favor.

News of the Courts
old SHOOTING SCRAPE
BEING AIRED IN COURT
Men Charged with Gun Play Are
Prosecuting Complainant
for Perjury

After postponements and continu-
ances for a period covering two years
the trial of F. M. Bell on the charge
of perjury was commenced before
Judge Davis yesterday, the main wit
nesses for the prosecution being o. P.
Widaman and A. r. Sanger. Two
years ago they were arrested on the
charge of assaulting Bell with deadly
weapons in room of the Hollenbeck
hotel, the charges being subsequently
dropped and Bell being charged with
perjury.
Widaman was on the stand most of
the afternoon and told his story of the
shooting in the Hollenbeck hotel. He
declared that Bell had drawn Two
pistols on him and that neither he nor
Sanger had attempted to in1ure Bell.
BELL asked me to turn on the heat
in the radiator" he said, as ne com
plained that the room was getting cool.
/ tried to turn the arrangement and
he told me to let Sanger turn it, as
he knew how. He was leaning against
the bureau and the two of us were
between him and the window.
"He then accused me of running
around with his wife and causing
trouble between them. told nm that
he was wrong and that there never
had been anything between his Wlte
and me- and offered to help patch
things up between them.
"IIe would not listen to what l said,
but started to tell me what he was
going to do. He slid out drawer in the
bureau and said l would be just as
dead in a second as I ever would be af-
ter 1 was buried. I was astonished at
his actions for the moment. Then l
grabbed him around the waist so that
his shots went wild and Sanger took
the gun away from him. He had an
other in the drawer and we grabbed
that also"
Widaman said that no attempt was
made to injure Bell, but that when the
police were notified of the shots, Bell
swore that the two had tried to shoot
him. Bell then swore out a complaint
against them, he said, and the case
was brought into the justice courts.
Several other witnesses were called,
but the court adjourned the trial un-
til this morning.

DENTIST HELD TO ANSWER
TO CHARGE OF YOUNG GIRL
Pretty Hazel Nichols TeStifieS at
Jarvis Examination

With flushed cheeks pretty 16-year-
old Hazel Nichols, a Los Angeles
school girl, mounted the witness stand
in Justice Summerfield's court yester-
day at the preliminary examination OF
DR. C. C. Jarvis, charged with her mis-
treatment, and under the careful guild
ance of attorneys for the prosecution
unwillingly told of her visit to the
dentists office one year ago. At the
conclusion of her story Jarvis was held
to answer to the superior court in
bonds of $4,000. The charge was the
second to be lodged against Jarvis in
several months. He is awaiting trial
in Judge Wilburs court on a similar
charge under bonds of $1,000.
Hazel Nichols said she was intro
duced to Dr. Jarvis on the street by
another girl friend her own age, who
told her he was a good dentist. She
later visited him for dental work and
he is said to have mistreated her. The
girl seemed unwilling to testify against
the man and it was with considerable
difficulty that the court was able to
get her story of the affair.

TAXES ON CITY LANDS IN
lNYO PAID UNDER PROTEST

Payment of taxes under protest on
city land in Inyo county is provided
in a resolution the board of public
works will ask the council to adopt to-
day. The board asks that the mayor
be authorized to subscribe to the pro
test on behalf of the city.
The city claims immunity from tax
alton on it's water lands in the owens
river valley, as it has a right to do
under the state law, but the only way
the matter can be settled legally is for
the payments to be made under protest
and the money refunded by the au-
thorities or an action brought in court.
Already the city has paid $7614.55 un-
der protest as the first installment of
its taxes and the second installment
of S6367 80 is now due.

PEERLESS ADVICE
TO AUTO owners
Important Information for the
Guidance of Buyers Issued
by Factory Officials

H. o. Harrison. head OF the II. o.
Harrison company, distributors of the
Peerless cars on the coast. has re-
ceived copy of a circular letter which
the Peerless motor car company OF
Cleveland is sending to all owners fOf
Peerless cars, and which contains Sug-
geStions which are valuable to the
user of any car. The text of the let
ter is as follows:
Too often the owner of a car con-
demns his automobile because his tires
cost him too much money. This condi-
tion is often due to the fact that motor
lists do not all understand the proper
care of tires. You are interested in
the question of securing the greatest
amount of service from the tires on
your car. We therefore suggest that
the tires should be removed from the
wheels every 1000 or 1900 miles, Sepa-
rating the tubes from the shoes, clean
ing each carefully and rubbing each
with soapStone, scrape the rim, putting
on some graphite. 1t is advisable every
once in while to change the left hand
tire to the right front wheel All cuts
and punctures should be vuIcanized.
SO as to keep damppess and dirt from
the fabric. The valve stem of the inner
tube should be occasionally tested. so
that the tire may not run partially fat.
thereby injuring the fabric. Inner
tubes should be carried in a dry place
and away from any oil and grease. Do
not be afraid to keep the tires pumped
up hard
