BROKE, CAN'T COME BACK
TO PROSECUTE GREENE
SwindIing Charge Against Former
Real Estate Dealer Is
Dismissed

Owing to the inability of the COM
planning witness, F. D. Kane, to come
to Los Angeles through lack of funds,
the last of the charges of criminal
conspiracy against Dolph Greene, who
is alleged by the detectives to be
clever swindler. was dismissed yester-
day by Deputy District Attorney
Veitch
George Clarke, who was also ar
rested and charged jointly with Greene
pleaded guilty to the charge few
days after his arrest and was placed
on probation for one year.
The trial of Greene was set for some
time ago, but two days previous to the
day of the trial Kane's wife died Kane
had lost almost all his money by in
vesting it in fake" real estate COM
pany. at S21 South Grand avenue, as
a partner with Greene. When his wife
died he barely had money enough 10
take her body east to Michigan, where
her parents lived. Since the burial of
his wife he has been living there with
her folks and, according to a COM
munication received a few days ago by
Veitch, he stated he did not have
enough money to come out to Los An
geles and prosecute Greene.
AS a result, the charge against
Greene was dismissed.

Greene some time ago following a trial
before a jury. Owing to the sealed
verdict of the jury being left in the
custody of court bailiff for day
before being handed to PoliceNJudge
Rose, the verdict was later setN aside
on motion of attorneys for Greene, who
claimed that it was irregular.
The case was appealed by Veitch,
who was determined to secure con-
viction sooner or later, but owing to
the inability of Kane to be present at
the trial he concluded that it would
he better to dismiss the case.

News of the Courts
MURDERER INSANE VEIN
He FIRED, WILL Be PLEA
Hal {. Hardy's Relatives Refuse
to Agree to His Pleading
Guilty to MansIaughter

Hereditary insanity will be the plea
of Hal f. Hardv charged with muir
dering William Moore, tamale VEN
dor December s of last year. He was
brought up for trial before Judge Will
lis yesterday morning and upon ap-
plication being made by his attorneys,
Frank Dominquez and Earl Rogers,
for further time, the trial was set for
June 6, in order to enable the defense
to secure a number of dispositions in
eastern and southern states.
ELABORATE DEFENSE
That an elaborate defense is being
planned and the charge will be fought
to a finish is indicated by the fact
that Hardy's wealthy relatives in
Florida will spare no expense to have
him freed of the charge of murder.
Hardys brother, a banker, and his
sister, Miss Elizabeth Hardy, refuse
to believe that he deliberately muir
dered Moore, as is charged by the dis
trict attorneys office.
The prisoner > sister arrived i'll Los
Angeles from Florida a few days ago
and has retained expert legal advice
to conduct the defense. 1t is expected
that every effort will be made to show
that there is a streak of insanity in
Hardy which he inherits and that he
prompted by strong drink.
SHOT IN RAGE
Witnesses of the shooting state that
Hardy approached Moofe's stand and
ordered something to eat while in
toxicated. Moore refused to serve him,
and becoming angry, he is declared to
have shot him in a rage.
1t had been planned by the defense
to allow him to plead guilty to man
slaughter so that he would get off with
light sentence or probation, but the
relatives of the prisoner refuse to be-
lieve that he shot Moore unless he
was temporarily insane, and will en-
deavor to free him on such grounds.
1t will be shown that Hardy is a
courteous and kindly man in his ordi-
nary senses and that he has even
gained the respect of the attaches of
the county Jail during his incarcera-
tion, and the case promises to de-
velop some unusual features during
its progress.

BOSSES OF HARNESS BULLS
MAKE A QUICK GETAWAY
BuffaIOed Booze Dispensers Are
Cause of Little Trouble

The police commission broke every
kind of record for itself last night by
finishing all its business for the week
and adjourning at $50 last night. That
is the first time the police commission
has concluded a night session before
midnight since Alexander has been
mayor.
Lack of business was the reason for
the early adjournment and business
was lacking because all the liquor
stores in the city have been "buffaloed"
into good behavior by the free and easy
way the commission has been revoking
the licenses of those that don't.
Chief Galloway reported that the res
taurant al Col San Fernando street
had not been conducted in the proper
manner and the commission ordered
Rosa Antonoli, who is the real boss of
the place, to come up and show why
the license for the place that is held
in her husbands name should not be
revoked. From the reports of PATROL
man Leon and others the commission
is convinced that she can't do it.

GIRL WRECKS HER MIND
BY TOO MUCH STUDYING

Overstudy brought Marguerite Wey-
gand before the insanity commission in
department nine of the superior court
yesterday, where a preliminary eXami-
nation as to her sanity was held. The

a nervous breakdown from the effects
of studying too much in school and at
home Her mother stated that besides
attending school she practiced on the
piano for hours each day, also spend
ing hours at her other studies.
The girl appears to have lost control
of her mind almost completely, and
when led away to the county hospital
yesterday she presented a piteOus sight
to the spectators in the court room.

DEEP DIG MADE IN THE
COUNTY CASH CONTAINER
Court House Employees Wear the
Smile That Won't
Come Off

Los Angeles county yesterday broke
all previous records in the amount
paid out to employees of the various
departments, when approximately 1000
persons had $6S,S94.61 divided among
them for their work during the month
of April.
County Auditor Dow's Office was
buster than a bank on the run and all
day long crowds waited in line to Sc
cure vouchers for their monthly sti-
pend. Each salary had to be sworn to
and the proceedings resembled paying
off day in some immense manufactur-
ing establishment.
April is generally the biggest month
in the year in the way of county pay
rolls for the reason that extra men to
assess property and to collect taxes
are required. There has been such
growth in the county during the past
year and such an increase in general
lines of development that more men
than ever before have been required
to assess and collect the county taxes.
For this reason the pay roll for the
month just ended is about $4,000 higher
than ever before in the history of Los
Angeles county.
The average for each month with
the exception of April has been ap-
proximately $4,000, because during the
other months of the year it is not nee
essary to employ so many in the as
SCISSORS and tax collectors offices.
Generally there is falling off in
the number of employees for a day or
so after pay day, but they come back
again with improved spirits to carry
out their share of the following
months work. Pay day is also the
one day of the month when the county
employees all smile. Some of them

day, but the majority. including the fe-
male population of the big building,
work along solemnly and phlegmatic-
ally until the end of the month and
the pay check comes around. Then
they loosen up" and look cheerful.

CITY TO HANG TO TAXES
PAID BY GAS COMPANY

1t will be joyful news to Councilman
w. j. Washburn and his finance com
mittee to learn that the city does not
have to refund $12O29.15 to the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric corporation.
This money was paid in by the corpor-
alton under protest as it's tXes on the
assessment against its franchise to be,
and the gas company said that the city
had no right to assess any taxes on
this franchise. But the city attorney
will tell the council today that it acted
within its rights in assessing the tax
and to let the gas company whistle for
its money.
The same opinion is given on the de-
mand of the Edison Electric company
for a refund of $28,522.70 on the same
kind of an assessment. The same COM
plant was made by the Edison COM
pany and Hewitt puts them both in
the same class.

GIVE US SMALLER PARK
SAY GARVANZA RESIDENTS
Petitioners Declare Plan En-
braces Many Railroad Tracks

Trim off the edges of the proposed
park for Garvana, is the demand con-
tained in a petition filed yesterday that
bears several hundred signatures.
If the park proposition is to go
through the petitioners want only that
portion bounded by Piedmont and Pas
adena avenues and Avenue 81. They
want the two blocks bounded by Ave-
nues 5S and so, Piedmont and Santa
Fe, as those two blocks are onl.- forty
feet wide and sixty feet long. They
want to cut out the blocks bounded by
Avenues 60, 81 and Piedmont avenue
and the Santa Fe tracks, because most
of the block belongs to the Santa Fe
and is largely covered with switches.
They also want the block bounded by
Pasadena avenue, Avenue 6S and Mar
mion way cut out, because it is crossed
by the Salt Lake right of way.

NOW, WHERE is HATT0N
GOING, Do YOU SUPPOSE?

George Hatton, recently found guilty
of horse stealing, is awaiting his sem
tence with considerable anxiety be-
cause of certain words spoken by
Judge Willis yesterday morning, when
his sentence was postponed until May
5. He is expecting to be given proba-
ton, but yesterday Judge Willis said:
"Ill postpone your case to May 5.
Hatton, because 1 have place where
1 intend to put you where l think
you will be all right"
The court did not explain himself
further and Hatton is wondering
whether he referred to prison, farm
or some other dire place of residence
where he must work out his saliva

VICTIM OF ADVERTISING
MAN CLAIMS DEFENSE
Whittier Papers introduced in At
tempt to Save Holt

Earl Holt of Whittier was placed on
trial before Judge Willis of the Grim
inal court yesterday on the charge of
stealing $100 cash and a check in the
amount of $3.50 from w. C. Pace, a
merchant of that place, April l. The
case went into the hands of the jury
last night.
The defense endeavored to introduce
testimony to the effect that Holt was
being prosecuted in order to advertise
PAGES business, and to show this
strange feature Whittier newspapers
were introduced as exhibits, showing
advertisements inserted by Pace, i'll
which he referred to the fact that he
was not altogether robbed, but had a
'few good lines still left" and that his
robbery sale" would not be closed
until after Holt's trial
The prosecution fought the introduce
tion of the evidence as immaterial.

 Vanderbilt came heralded with her re- cent fine showing, when the team played Yale to a standstill-nether side scoring but the Tech team went into the game with the determination to squelch some of the Tennesseans' over-eonhdence. But the Vanderbilt team outplayed them at every stage of the game.
 The Yellow Jackets were slightly crip- pied with the loss of three of the regular men in the lineup, but able substi- tutes filled their places. Techs band, aided by the yelling of a thousand lusty- lunged rooters. made the~big noise There were also hundreds who yelled for the Tennesseans as a special train brought many Vanderbilt rooters to Atlanta
 Tech showed remarkable improvement over past performances and the absence Of fumbling was noticeable, although the Georgians lost the ball more than once for this reason At one stage of the game Tech pounded the Commodores' line three times and when the distance was measured the Georgians lacked only three inches of making first down."
