JAPANESE BANKER
IS IN TOLLS AGAIN
M. Takewawa, After Release from the
Santa Ana Jail, Is Arrested
in Los AM 81
seIes 1873 H<I

After nine days of confinement In
the Santa Ana Jail, on a complaint of
perjury, sworn to by Sheriff Lacey OF
Orange county, M. Takewawa, former
cashier of the defunct Japanese bank,
First and Wilmington streets, was re-
leased yesterday morning on $4,000 bail.
and rearrested Immediately and
brought to Los Angeles charged with
a misdemeanor, under the state law.
The Los Angeles complaint alleges
that Takewawa, while cognizant of the
fact that the bank was insolvent, con-
tinued to receive deposits, which have
not been accounted for. After remain
ing in Jail several hours, friends of
TakeWawa obtained his release on 500
bail.
The bail was placed at small
amount, after conference with Deputy
District Attorney Paul ]. Mccormick
and Police Judge Frederickson. AS
Takewawa already was under $4,000
bonds and owns a handsome residence
at 1899 West Jefferson street, nominal
bail was deemed sufficient to warrant
his appearance in court to face the
misdemeanor charge.
Takewawa was arrested at his home
January IL, and until yesterday his
friends were unable to raise the $4,000
bail demanded. When the money was
produced the Santa Ana officials fear
ing the former cashier might escape.
notified the Los Angeles police, who
had a warrant alleging state misde-
meanor. A large number of persons
from the Japanese colony greeted
Takewawa as he left police headquar-
ters last night.

GAS COMPANY ACCUSED
OF BEING A NUISANCE
North Main Street Property Owner
Declares In Court That Smells
and Noise Cost Him Money

Allegations that the proximity of the
Economic Gas company's works depre-
ciated the value of his property and
caused tenants to remove are made in
the suit of Newton w. Crane against
the corporation, trial of which was be-
gun in Judge Moss court yesterday.
Crane demands aggregate damages or
$4,000. He owns five dwellings in the
1000 block on North Main street, his
property being located within forty feet
of the gas works. The damage to his
property, he says, was caused by foul
gas, smoke and the noise of escaping
steam.
A peculiar incident in the trial was
the discovery that a witness who had
almost concluded his testimony never
had been subpoenaed in the case. This
witness was Herman Rambaud, 1886
North Main street, and his noncommit-
tai responses to questions propoundeu
by Cranes attorneys puzzled the latter:
"I know nothing about the matter
said Rambaud, when asked concerning
conditions in the neighborhood of the
gas works.
as not your name Herman Ram
baud?" asked the puzzled attorney.
Rambaud said it was, and added ne
lived at the place where the subpoena
was served. 1t was some time before IL
developed that Rambaud has son
bearing the same name as his father'
The subpoena, 1t was stated, was IN
tended for the son, who had received II

ing it to be a grocery bill.

12-MINUTE SERVICE
is PROMISE OF ROAD
President of Pasadena Rapid Transit
Line Says Sister Cities Will Be
Brought Closer To-
gether

Twelve minute car service between
Pasadena and Los Angeles within a
wear and q fare of 10 cents" is the
prophecy of Horace M. Dobbins, pres
ident of the Pasadena Rapid Transit
company made in an informal talk
which he gave at the semi-monthly
meeting of the North, Northeast and
Northwest Improvement association
Yesterday afternoon in the chamber
of commerce committee rooms. In
speaking of the proposed line Mr.. Dob
bins said:
ALREADY the company has acquired
224 pieces of private right of way, rep
resenting six miles of the line, which
will be nine miles long. The right OF
way already acquired extends from the
business section of Pasadena to two
miles within the city limits of Los
Angeles. From the termination of the
acquired right of way the company
has three prospective rights of way
into Los Angeles and Pasadena, and
as soon as the site for the terminals
are selected the remaining rights of
way will be obtained This selection
will take place as soon as the 5000 re-
manning shares of the capital stock Of
So, 900, 900 have been disposed Of
Upon reaching the business section
Sof Los Angeles the road will be built
underground to the point Of its ter
minus. All the rights of way acquired
so far and those which are to be ac-
auired are all private and not held un-
der franchises from the city. Upon
the completion of the road, which is
expected to be within this Year, trains
will leave each terminus every twenty
minutes, and II is estimated that at
least 10000 persons will be carried over
the line in a day from Pasadena. Los
Angeles and intermediate points"

J. ROSS CLARK HOME
FROM SALT LAKE CITY
High Official of Railroad Has Been
Comforting Regarding New
Route In Nevada

]. Ross Clark, second vice presi-
dent of the Salt Lake railroad, re-
turned yesterday from Salt Lake City
where he went last week for confer
ence with other officials of the road re-
garding the rebuilding of the Salt
Lake line through the desert.
Although E. G. Tilton, chief engi-
neer of the road, last week made a
preliminary report to Mr. Clark and
to w. H. Bancroft, first vice presi-
dent, water and weather conditions
were such in the Meadow valley that
the feasibility of rebuilding the line
through that locality could not be def
nitely determined.
The present indications are that
there is little prospect of building
again through the Meadow valley
wash region as there are two survey
ing parties out looking for new routes
Definite action will not be taken by
the railroad officials Until reports are
received from the surveying parties
which will probably be in ten days.
