BANKS AGREE To PAY
TAXES ON NEW LOANS
Session in Superior Court Results
in Partial Arrangement of
Legal Difficulty

Banks of Los Angeles which were
fighting the enforcement of the recent
ly enacted tax and license ordinance
yesterday agreed to the tax of III per
cent on all new loans and discount
business monthly after a long session
before Judge Conrey of the superior
court.
The Los Angeles Trust and Savings
company, the Southern Trust company,
the Security Savings bank and the
German American swings bank were
the institutions which began the fight
against the enforcement, and with the
Southern California Edison company
and the Los ngeles Gas and Electric
company succeeded in obtaining an
injunction.
Yesterday was the time set for City
Clerk Lelande, City Tax Collector Tag
CART and City Auditor Meyers to ap-
pear in court to show cause why the
injunction should not be made per1na-
nent.
At the end of the session the repre-
sentatives agreed to the bank tax, but
they and the institutions affected in
tend to continue the fight on the
grounds that the ordinance legally
could not go into effect until thirty
days after the election, June 80, and
that the council passed it to become
Immediately effective. The arguments
probably will be continued today.

DEFENDANT TELLS COURT
w. L. Green Charged with Fail
ure to Provide

w. L. Green, charged with having
failed to provide for his wife, was
brought before Justice Baird yesterday
and informed the court that 1t was all
a case of too much mother-in-law."
Developments then followed rapidly,
and before the completion of the pre-
liminary examination Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Newmire, who issued the
complaint against Green, and who also
began the prosecution, took sides with
the accused and secured his release.
Green is bricklayer and at the time
of his marriage his mother-in-law,
Mrs. ]. Burns, decided him a small
house and lot on condition that he and
her daughter live happily together for
five years. The mother-in-law is a
member of a fraternal organization,
and at her suggestion Green Joined the
order.
Green alleges that his mother-in-law
scolded him because he spent part of
his time attending to his duties as a
lodge official, and that she caused the
estrangement between himself and
wife.
A collection agent requested New
mre to allow him to be associated in
the prosecution of Green, but the
former refused the request. and when
Green offered to pay whatever amount
the court deemed sufficient to keep
Mrs. Green, Attorney Newmire ar
rayed himself on the defendants side
against the mother-in-law, wife and
collection agent.
Justice Baird ordered Green to pay
Sc weekly for the support of his wife,
and to pay her $50 out of the rental
money which is due the couple on the
property decided them by the mother
in-law. Green informed the court that
his mother-in-law had collected the
rent for several months.

.PATROLMAN PROVES TO
Be AN ATHLETIC HERO
Stops Runaway by Climbing Over
Shafts of Wagon and Seiz-
ing Horses Neck

Patrolman r. NJ. Green, traffic Off
Ger at Third and Main streets, proved
himself hero yesterday afternoon
when he succeeded in stopping fran
tic runaway horse, attached to light
express wagon, by a method which
was full of thrills.
Green was plotting an aged woman
across the crowded thoroughfare about
o'clock. when the runaway bore down
upon him. He placed the woman out
of danger. AS the wagon passed him
he swung over the tailboard and
clambered in over the seat.
The bit of the bride was out of the
animals mouth and grain bag was
dangling from its neck. The reins were
trailing in the dust about the horses s
hoofs.
Unable to reach them, Green dropped
to the shafts and climbed out and
caught the horse by the neck. Pedes-
trians who had been sent scurrying
across the street and out of the path
of the infuriated animal, turned in
their footsteps ano stared in amaze
ment at the feat of the patrolman.
The horse was brought to a stop at
Third and Main streets where Green
was the object OF much admiration on
the part of those who had witnessed
his bravery.
The horse was driven to Central
police headquarters, where S. Abaijn,
driver for the Salt Lake Rubbish COM
pany, called for it and was arrested
for leaving a horse unbridled on the
street. He was released after deposit
ing $5 bail to appear in police court
this morning.

"All over the world people are COM
ing to realize that Southern California,
and Los Angeles especially, is the most
desirable place to live, not only in
American but in the world. Compare
sons are being made in Europe Of the
climatic conditions of Southern Cali
fornia and those of the Riviera, with
the result that it is recognized that
our climate is the best.
almost anywhere in Europe men-I
mean people of large wealth-told me
they desired at the earliest possible
time to transfer their interests and
themselves to Southern California.
"I have never heard in this country,
or on the other side, a suggestion that
Los Angeles and Southern California
are not the most desirable places in the
world for residence, health and
pleasure"
Mr.. Dorsey combined business with
pleasure while in Europe, and con-
versed with many capitalists who in
tend investing in this part of the state.

ANOTHER KNOT IN
REFUSE CONTRACT
Courts Enioin City from Interfer-
ing with Durbin's Garbage
Collections
TO TEST THE AMENDED LAW
New Link in Chain of Troubles
Since Alexander Secured
the Contract
TO TEST THE AMENDED LAW

The city Of Los Angeles must not in
terfere in any way with the employees
of p. ]. Durbin in the collection of
garbage from various hotels and other
establishments until after the matter
is given a hearing, which probably will
be next Monday.
That was decided yesterday by Judge
BordWell, presiding judge of the supe-
rior court of Los Angeles county, when
he issued a temporary injunction.
This restraint upon the enforcement
Of the garbage ordinance comes as a
link in the chain of troubles which
have been attached to the measure
since its passage about a year ago.
The law was to the effect that the city
should have contract with Charles
Alexander for the collection of the
garbage for the consideration of $1,000
a month.
Durbin, who declares that he in
vested about 100000 in 5000 hogs and a
farm outside the city limits with the
express intention OF feeding the ami
mails upon the garbage of certain
hotels with which he had made agree
ments, refused to obey the ordinance
and was arrested
He was Joined in his fight by the
Jonathan club, the Angelus, Hayward
Hollenbeck and Alexandria hotels and
several cafeterias and restaurants,
which wished to profit by the sale OF
the garbage.
The matter reached the superior
court, where the men and institutions
fighting the measure were sustained
Judge Hutton freeing Durbin on ha-
beas corpus proceedings. The ordinance
was amended by the city council June
II, but the definition of garbage was
unchanged.

MOMUS PASSENGER
RECALLS EXPERIENCE
ReCounts Goodness of Captain in
Encouraging the Passengers
While Ship Burned

Hans Hagen of Nordhausen, Ger
many, registered at the Lankershim,
was one of the passengers on the
Southern Pacific company's steamer
Momus when, it took fire off the
Atlantic coast, and after burning
for two days was beached on the
Florida shore. He, together with
the hundred other passengers on
the burning ship, was taken aboard
the steamer Comus of the same
line, which had been summoned by
wireless to the assistance of the burn
ing vessel.
1T was thrilling experience" said
Hagen, when discussing the affair yes
terday, "and one that l will not for
get for many a day. Fortunately the
passengers aboard the burning vessel
did not realize the gravity of the sit
uation, for the flames did not show
themselves, and through the awful
hours that the hold of the Momus was
a raging furnace they kept up good
spirits. There was no panic, condi-
tion that was brought about by the
untiring efforts of Captain Boyd of our
ship, who, though he realized an IN
ferno was raging beneath the decks
of his vessel, cheered his passengers
and crew until aid came.
I'VE let New York city tor New
Orleans on July 20. am sure that
the fire broke out shortly after we
left the dock at New York, for when
the matches of the afterhold were un-
battened on July %, the extent of the
fire showed that it had been burning
for at least two days.
1.-THE smoke belched out of the hold
when opened and only at that time
was a panic imminent The captain
uuieted his passengers, and then was
started the calls by wireless for help.
soon the Comus picked up our sig
nal for assistance. Twelve hours later
it was Q a. m. of July 23-she was
living alongside of us, and the work OF
transferring passengers was COM
menced.
"The heat of the engine room and
fire room was intense during the time
the fire was burning. The stokers
would stagger up from the fire-room
and drop exhausted on the deck the
engineers were unable to stand
watch lasting longer than five minutes,
when 1t was necessary to allow them
to come on deck"
Hagen is on his first Visit 10 Los
Angeles. He intends to make his nome
here. For the past seven years he has
been connected with the offices or the
North German Lloyd in Europe and in
New York City.
