ORNAMENTAL POSTS FOR
LAMPS CROW IN FAVOR
PiCo Street Lighting Plan to Be
Adopted in Other Sec
tions of the City

The desire to beautify streets with
ornamental lights is spreading to vari-
Gus parts of the city. With the adop-
ton of the ornamental lighting pro1ect
for Pico street from Main to Vermont
other streets have been stirred to ac-
tivity and yesterday petitions were
filed asking the council to begin pro-
eeedings for the lighting of Seventh
street from Hoover to Boyle and or
Sixth from Main to Alameda. 1t is
stated that petitions for the same pur-
pose are being circulated on Eighth
and Ninth streets.
These ornamental lamp posts are
paid for by the property owners on
the lighted street and the property
owners also pay for the light for the
first wear. While the ornamental
lighting plan is especially beneficial
to the property ON the street lighted,
other portions of the city are bene-
fited, as the ordinary lamp posts are
taken off the street lighted by the or
namental posts and placed in other
sections of the city where there Is no
light of any kind.
In securing petitions for lighting
these streets the promoters were care
full to get the signatures of owners or
large amounts of frontage. w. M.
Garland, Col j, B. Lankershlm ana
Henry Lyon are the most active IN the
movement. If the project to light
Seventh street from Boyle to Hoover
IS carried out it will be the longest
lighting system in the city. The dis
tance is four and quarter miles.

BRICK IS NOT
IDENTIFIED; NON SUIT
Workman Asking Damages from
S. p. Unable to Prove Case

]. w. Atherton lost i'm his SUIT Tor
S25 900 damages against the Southern
Pacific Railway company for personal
Injuries in Judge Bordwells court yes
terday morning. the latter tnstructlng
the Jury to return a verdict for the de-
PENDANTS. The verdict followed the de-
NAL of a motion for non-sult hy
the attorneys for the defense.
Atherton had been struck on the heaa
by a falling brick while working on
building being erected by the company
in Los Angeles. He claimed his near
ing and eyeslght had been permanently
injured, following concussion OF the
brain from the blow. The decision Oh
the Jury was of considerable interest,"
i'm law circles in view of the fact that
the plaintiff based his complaint on the
ground that the defendants were re-
0uired by law to provide safe place
for employees to work.
Judge Bordwells instructions to the
Jury were partially the result OF the
evidence falling to show whether the
nlaintiff was struck with a brick or
where 1t came from. The only evil
dence introduced that it was a brick
which fell on his head was that brlck
was missing from the wall above where
he had been working as laborer.

News of the Courts
ASKS MORE MONEY To
AUDIT COUNTY BOOKS
Grand Jury Petitions Court for
Additional $1,000 to Pay
Experts Fees

An affidavit asking for more than
twice the amount appropriated for
verifying the books of the various
county Offices was filed yesterday by
the Los Angeles county grand jury
with Judge Curtis ID. Wilbur of the
superior court. Complaint was made
that the sum of $1S25 was entirely too
small for the large amount of work
to be done and an additional amount
of S2O25 is asked of the court by the
grand jury, which has had to employ
a much larger number of expert ac-
countants to go over the books than
formerly, in view of the big increase
in county business
According to the affidavit, at the
time the present grand jury was i'm
paneled the county books had not been
audited by experts for over eighteen
months. and the last time they were
gone over by experts 1t had been found
that $1S25 was sufficient for the ex-
penses of the exporting. In making
the appropriation for the present ex-
animation of the books, therefore, the
same amount was allowed for the
work.
Several weeks ago, however, the
grand Jury found that the books bad
not been half audited before the
amount allowed had gone in payments
to expert accountants, who have been
working for over a month on the
books. 1t was found that more ac-
countants would have to be employed
in order to get through the work in
q reasonable time, so a number nave
heen hired at the rate of 81 day, the
chief of the accountants receiving 30
a day. ...
with the additional expense facing
them and the work yet unfinished, tne
grand jury yesterday decided to apply
to the court for an order allowing an
additional sum to complete the work,
and it is understood that the oTder
will be made out as early as possible,
The grand jury has completed ~. aus
regular work and is waiting for tie
accountants to get through with the
books 50 that it may make bea It's he rePGgt SITt
oI,o ~ rsiod sa The reason given by the
grand , jury in making it's report is that
the phenomenal increase in county
business in the last six months mas
ao,,sad the work of examining the ac-
counts to surpass all expectations.

HARRIS HAD RIGHT TO
TAKE MONEY IS CLAIM
Defense Admits General Facts
but Denies That Act Is
Robbery

Strenuous efforts were made yester-
day afternoon by the attorneys for Les
lie Harris, on trial in Judge Wills
court on q charge of robbing the Nc
Farland Shirt company's store of $542
last December, to introduce evidence TO
the effect that Harris was secretary
and a director of the company at the
time he took the money, and that con-
seuuently he was within his rights.
Deputy District Attorney Ford for
several hours fought the introduction
of the testimony, on the ground that
even If he was q secretary or other OIL
Ger of the company he had no right 10
take money from the safe.
In the morning Don II. Mcfarland,
the prosecuting witness, was on the
stand and told of seeing Harris take
the money. The police officers who ar
rested Harris after they were informed
by Mcfarland that Harris had taken
the money from the companys safe
told of how they followed the defend
ant upstairs in the o. T. Johnson build
ing. They said they found Harris in
room, and when the place was searched
they found he had placed the money in
cuspidors in order to get rid of the
"eVidence."
The defense acknowledges this part
of the story, ana SUCKS W lIIe lhCOi
that Harris, as an officer, had a right
to take the money. They made e1orts
to show by the company's books that
Harris was a stockholder, and when
thew endeavored to introduce the books
to the court they could not be found;
Judge Willis overruled a motion py
the prosecution to prevent the intro
duction of the books. All the attor-
neys, the clerk, the bailiff and the de-
fendant himself searched the court
room. The books could not be found
and it looked as though they had been
spirited away. Deputy District Attor-
ney Ford finally emerged from the
Judges chambers with the books ana
triumphant smile.
Your honor, l found them on your
desk" and the bailiff had to rap 10
silence the laughter
The trial was resumed and the py
laws of the company were read pul
nothing new developed from the eVl-
dence, Harris taking the stand late III
the afternoon. His story corresponded
with what has been published regard
ing the case.
The trial was resumed at 1880 O'CLOCK
in a night session, and the case will go
into the hands of the jury this morning.
