MAY SELL MORE BONDS
FOR AQUEDUCT WORK
Attempt viii Be Made to Provide
Funds-CouId Use ST.
100000 Now

With the eastern bond market
greatly improved there is a prospect
that more aqueduct bonds can be sold
soon, and more money placed to the
credit of the board of public works
at once In a communication to w. J.
Washburn,- chairman of the finance
committee of the council, yesterday,
the board outlined its expenditures
since work was resumed last July and
showed how 100000 could be spent to
advantage.
The suggested expenditure Of S250,000
a month has been exceeded, according
to the figures in the statement about
an average of $35, 900 month, but even
this is not enough to keep the work go
ing as the board of public works would
like to have it, Four steam shovels
are idle that could be used to advan
tage and with $1,000,000 more before
the bond syndicate exercises its option
February 1, these shovels could be
put to work.
Aqueduct officials and members of
the city council said yesterday that
negotiations were in progress between
the city and KountZe Br S. and A. B.
Leach & Co., the syndicate that has
an option on all the aqueduct bonds.
for the sale Of 100000 worth of the
securities within the next few days.
While the $250000 a month has been
exceeded, there is still enough money
on hand to keep the aqueduct going
at the same rate at which 1t Is now
operating until February l and beyond.
On that date the bond syndicate must
either exercise its option and take up
several million dollars worth Of bonds,
or release the city from the option so
that the bonds may be sold elsewhere.

SON AND STEPMOTHER AT
WAR OVER $4,000 ESTATE
Widow Wants Accounting of AuC-
ton Business WiIIed to Son

A stepmother and son are expected
to make a lively fight over the settle
ment of the estate of Ben o. Rhoades,
formerly of the firm of Rhoades &
Rhoades, auctioneers, who left prop
erty valued at $1,000. The case was
scheduled for hearing yesterday before
Judge Rives of the probate department
of the superior court, but a continu-
ance was granted.
Rhoades died two years ago. leaving
to Ben A. Rhoades, his son, his inter
est in the auction business at S30-S32
South Main street. His widow, the
sons stepmother, who was named as
executrix of the will, was devised all
of the other property, which included
the residence at 1911 New Hampshire
street.
The widow now claims the son has
failed to account to her for his interests
in the auction business, and the son
claims his stepmother has neglected to
render her final accounting of the en-
tire estate to the court. He wants the
tribunal ITO order that the business be
distributed to him, according to his
fathers will. The business is said to
be worth $4,000.

News of the Courts
NEW BOARD TO RULE ALL
NIGHT AND DAY. BANK
Court Decides. That Directors
Headed by |. C. Brand
Legally Chosen

The control of the All Night and
Day bank was definitely determined
to belong to the new set of directors
headed by L. c. Brand, yesterday, by
Judge Hervey, of the superior court,
who had heard the case for two days.
He decided against the old set on
the ground that more than two-thirds
of the capital stock which has legal
representation was represented at the
meeting of Oct. IA when the new board
was chosen.
The plaintiffs, j. L. Conner, w. j.
Conner, c. E. Shenk, H. B. Stafford,
w. o. Morton, Newton ]. Skinner and
c. E. Elerick, asserted that the l255
shares of stock represented at the
meeting formed less than two-thirds
of the capital stock of 1000 shares.
Judge Hervey said that the defend
ants contending that only 1400 shares
actually have been issued is correct,
although the plaintiffs had tried to
sell the other 600 shares in Kansas
City, Mo-, and Jackson, Miss, with
the result that they were returned to
them. The judge said he thought
there was a fictitious increase of
stock" He declared that as no person
represents those 600 shares of stock
and 1t has never been sold, the situa-
ton Is the same as If 1t never had
been issued. He therefore decided that
the decree asked by the plaintiffs that
the control of the institution be re-
turned to them should be denied and
that judgment should be awarded the
defendants, who, besides Brand, are
Henry n4eyer J. S. Moore, J. T. Coo
per, r. I. Cline, B. F. Cline and w
r. Letton.
The troubles of the bank have been
aired for several months. They be-
gan shortly after the old officials of
the institution failed to pay back
about $4,000 to obtain which they had
pledged 1155 shares of stock. The
shares were ordered sold and were
purchased for Brand by Hugh Blue,
as trustee. The controversy contin-
ued until Oct. IA, when Brand and his
associates, representing in all 1855
shares, or more than two-thirds of
the 400 actually issued, met and chose
new directors. The suit deci led yes
terday resulted.
Another action involving the bank
and the same plaintiffs and defend
ants is scheduled for a hearing before
Judge Hervey tomorrow. Alden An
derson, state superintendent of bank
ing, Henry e. Sherer, deputy super
intendent, and Robert Wankowski,
special deputy superintendent, also are
made defendants. The plaintiffs al
legged that Anderson's action in clos
ing the bank about two weeks ago,
allegedly for the safety of the depos-
itors, was contrary to banking laws.

MAJORITY PETITION ASKED
FOR HIGHLAND PARK ST

IF the Highland Park Protective as
sociation can secure a petition bear
ing 81 per cent of the frontage, the
board of public works will begin the
condemnation of a portion of the right
of way of the Los Angeles railway.
Such was the action of the board yes
terday.
The association wants a street opened
between Marmion way and Buena
Vista street and the only way to get
it is to condemn the right of way of
the Los Angeles railway connecting
these two points. 1t is to prevent the
Improvement being protested out by a
majority of the frontage after the en-
gineer had incurred preliminary ex-
penses that the majority petition is
asked.
