ASSESSMENT FOR WIDENING
HILL STREET Is PROTESTED
Los Angeles Interurban Company
Says Levy Is Invalid

Formal protest against paying any
assessment for the widening of Hill
street between Pico and Washington
streets was entered by the Los An
geles Interurban Railway company
yesterday. This company has been as
sessed $4501.70 on its poles, wires,
tracks and other property in the as
seGsment district.
Attorney G.. e. Newlin, representing
the railway company, declares in the
protest that large part of the prop
erty assessed belongs to the Los An
geles-P Pacific and not to the Interurban.
But Mr.. Newlin declines to pay any
thing on account of the company he
represents, holding that the assess
ment is made on improvements and is,
therefore, Illegal and void.
The Interurban and the Los Angeles
Pacific took the same stand when they
were assessed for the opening of Six
teenth street, but they paid their as
sessments under protest, with the
promise from the finance committee
that the money would be returned If
the assessment was found void. The
case is to be tried in court.

FRIsToE UNDER ARREST
Member of Virginia Family Is Held
for EmbeZzIement

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.l
Philadelphia, Pa, November 22--Lee
j. Fristoe, of Front Royal, said to be
the scion of an old and wealthy Vir-
ginia family. to-day was held in $4,000
bail for court on a charge OF embez-
cling that amount from the Empire
Casualty Company, of this city.
Friends of Fristoe furnished the bail.
The young man held a responsible
position with the company for several
months. Upon an aGdit Of the books.
1t is alleged that the auditors discov-
cred the shortage upon which the
charge of ENFORCEMENT was made. A
warrant was issued here by Magistrate
Scott for his arrest, and Detective John
Duey, of the local department, went
to Front Royal and placed Fristoe un-
der arrest. He returned to Philadel-
phla without requisition papers, and
declared that he would prove that he
had nothing to do with the shortage.
IL such a thing exists.
Young ,Fristoe was very popular in
Philadelphia, and his many friends re-
fuse to believe the possibility OF the
charge against him being proven.
