COURT HOLDS SPELLACy
FIGURES ARE CORRECT
Wealthy Oil Operators Conten-
tions in Suit Filed by C. S.
Young Are Sustained

Although the issues in the case have
not been finally determined, Judge
Monroe of the superior court made 1t
clear yesterday in the case in which
c. S. Young is suing Timothy Spellacy,
wealthy oil operator and prominent
Democrat, that in no event will he
allow Young more than is due him on
claims admitted by Spellacy. Thus
Spellacy virtually wins the suit, as
Young, dissatisfied with what was con-
ceded him by Spellacy, sued to get
more. The case will be resumed Au-
gust "a, when both sides will render
aecountings of moneys expended. Oral
arguments will follow.
Judge Monroe declared that Young Is
entitled to the proceeds of the invest
ment of SS144.99 in 1901 in deals which
resulted in the formation of the Mascot
Oil company and the Illinois Crude
Oil company and which is shown in a
contract between Young and Spellaoy
made November 10, 1902.
According to the terms of that agree
ment, Young is entitled to one-eighth
of the stock of the Mascot company
and one-t twelfth of that of the Illinois
Crude. AS the former is worth about
50, 500 900, his share in that should ap-
proximate 100000. The other concern
is valued at about 100000,
Young's claim that he is entitled to
more because of alleged manipulations
of $24, ,0O2.03 by Spellacy will not be
allowed by Judge Monroe, and as the
damages of $500,000 have been dropped
from the suit the result is sure to be
a loss for Young.
Spellacy conceded to Young just
what Judge Monroe is willing that he
should have, the exact amount of
which will be determined after the rem
dering of accounts August "a.

ASKS $4,000 DAMAGES
FOR INJURED REPUTATION
Mrs. Wentworth Says Mrs. Vann
Called Her a Dirty
Chicken Thief

If the judge thinks as do the plain
tiffs, in a slander complaint which was
filed yesterday in the superior court,
regarding the value of words, the John
Kendrick Bangses and the George Barr
McCutcheons of the country will have
to evolve new literary scale of prices.
Very angry at being called a chicken
thief, as she alleges she has been, Mrs.
Annie NJ. wentworth, with her hus-
band, r. o. wentworth, who conduct
a grocery store at Latin, on the Long
Beach line of the Pacific Electric rail-
way, are suing Mrs. NJ. Nann of the
same place for $4,000 damages on the
SANDER complaint. and $100 for attor-
neys fees.
The Wentworths make three charges,
all of which begin with the assertion
that before May of this year Mrs.
Wentworth bore a good reputation, but
that since she has been accused of
stealing chickens it has suffered great
~ so greatly that only $4,000 will ease
the pain.
The first charge is that Mrs Vann
uttered these words:
Tell Mrs. wentworth that this is
only two out of the dozens of hens she
has stolen from me-
The Wentworths think those words
are worth $4,000, and have sued accord
ingly.
The second charge follows, the words
being an alleged quotation from Mrs.
Vann:
You are dirty chicken thief. And
there are other things you have stolen
besides. The whole neighborhood can
prove you are nothing but dirty
chicken thief"
For those words $4,000 more.
Charge No. is contained in the fol-
lowing sentence alleged to have been
spoken by Mrs. Vann:
you've stolen dozens of hens, dozens
of them, when you had to go to your
knees in water to get Them
Another charge of $4,000.
Each accusation is alleged to have
been spoken by Mrs. Vann in the pres
ence of divers persons, including Mrs.
Helen wentworth and Mrs. Mary A.

HAMLIN WILL ASK TO
CONSTRUCT cULvERTs
Thinks Contractors Bids for the
Work Are Too High

When contractors want exorbitant
prices for little piece of work, Homer
Hamlin, city engineer, has a plan to
teach them a lesson. He advises the
board of public works to reject all
bids and secure authority from the
council TO do the work by day labor.
He has done several jobs in this way,
and in every case the city has done
it hundreds of dollars cheaper than the
lowest bid submitted by contractor.
This is the case in the construction
of the culverts across West Adams
street at Hobart boulevard. Hamlin
estimated that these culverts could be
constructed for $1606, and this he con-
sidered a liberal figure. The lowest
bid received by the board of public
works was $1S91.75.
When Hamlin saw these figures he
asked the board OF public works to
secure authority from the council to do
the work by day labor. The board will
ask the council for this privilege next
Tuesday. The engineer believes it will
not cost the city more than $500 at the
highest to do the work, but he needs a
good foreman. He is willing to pay
a man capable of handling the work
Sc a day, especially as 1t is short JOB.

NEWS OF THE COURTS
JUDGE HALTS STRUGGLE
To SECURE STOCK BOOK
Attorneys in Southern CONNER
ciaI Case Row in the
Court Room

Two attorneys had such lively
tussle over a book of stock certificates
yesterday in Judge McCormick's de-
partment of the superior court, in the
course of the hearing of the case OF
Spasje vujacich against the Southern
Commercial company, that the jurlst
was forced to call them to order.
Before that point was reached. how
ever. they were near a physical COM
bat having torn several pages from
the hook of certificates in their efforts
to possess it.
Vuiacich is only one of score or
more of Slavonians who deposlted tHelr
earnings with the defendant NOW
they say there is about $500 coming
to them, but that they cannot get II
and fear that it has been used to pullu
a distillery in Kentucky.
In the midst of the case yesterday
e. c. Powers, attorney for the Southern
Commercial company, noticed that A
M Strong, attorney for the SlaVonlans,
had in his possession stock ecrtlncate
hook of the concern Powers was repre-
senting. He seized the book.
Strong demanded that 1t be returned
to him-instanter!
Still Powers clung to 1t.
Judge Mccormick ordered Powers 10
return it.
Still he kept it.
Strong grabbed at one edge of the
book and obtained hold.
Powers jerked and yanked.
Strong pulled and struggled.
Five pages were torn out before
Judge Mccormick rose on his dignity
and ordered the attorneys to cease
their contest in such positive terms
that they did 60 and at further com
mand Powers returned the book to
Strong.
The latter had obtained the book IN
a manner which he did not explain,
but 1t was to have been introduced as
evidence in case C. C. Grove, witness,
had been able to identify the signature
of Lewis Farmer. an officer of the
Southern Commercial company, which
he was unable to do.
The case has been before Judge Nc
Cormick three days, and because of
the ignorance of the Slavonians of Eng
lish it has made little progress. 1t
was continued yesterday, to be re-
sumed August %.

ALL DAY AND NIGHT BANK
STOCK CASE POSTPONED
Judge BordWelI Sets Hearing for
September 8

The action of Hugh Blue, trustee of
1855 shares of stock of the All Day
and Night bank, to obtain possession
of the stock which Is now in the pos
session of the county clerk, was con-
tinued until September by Judge
Bordwell of the superior court yester-
day.
Following the order of Judge Con-
rey for the transfer of the stock to
Blues credit on the books of the bank,
Newton j. Skinner. president, and w.
]. Conner, secretary. became guilty of
contempt of court by not obey.ng and
the supreme court cited them to appear
before it in San Francisco September
5 to explain.
Before that, however they had placed
the disputed 1855 shares, pledged to Sc
cure a loan of $4,000 and purchased in
Blues name when the loans were not
repaid in the custody of the county
clerk.
Judge Bordwell's order yesterday in
continuing the action was because of
the citation of the supreme court.

up TO HEALTH BOARD TO
ACT ON GARBAGE STATION
Petition Filed in Council May Be
Opener for Injunction

A petition to the council, couched in
legal phraseology and supposed to be
preliminary to an injunction suit, was
filed yesterday by the protestants
against the garbage loading station at
Anderson and Also streets. The petit
ton recites what a nuisance the load
ing station has become and asks that
the council take immediate steps to
have it abolished. The protestants say
they are poor people and not able to
hire lawyers and go to court as they
would like to do.
The matter of granting relief in this
case rests now with the board of
health, for if that body approves the
Goudge patent sanitary garbage load
ing station plan which was presented
to the public welfare committee of the
council Thursday, Charles Alexander
the garbage contractor, promises to
have one built within sixty days. While
the loading station will probably re-
main where it is, the proposed build
ing will eliminate the Objectionable
features.

MUST PAY IN CASH, NOT
IN IBEX MINING STOCK
T. M. Mckinney Is Awarded Judg'
ment for $1o2

That a dollar in money is worth more
than stock in the Old Ibex mine, the pal
value of which is 81, was the gist of the
decision of Judge Hervey of the SUI
perior court yesterday when he de-
clared that Calvin Ferguson must pay
his employe, T. M. Mckinney, $192.75 in
cash and not In shares.
Mckinney claimed that he went to
work for Ferguson at the Old hex
mine, which is about four miles from
San Bernardino. He was to receive s.
a day for his labor, and he worked III
days, believing that he would be paid
in cash and thinking that the small
sums he drew were merely on account.
Finally he learned that the greater
part of his wages was to be paid him
in stock in the company, which Is CAPT
italized at $1,0OO,O00. the value of the
stock being placed at 81 a share, two of
which We're to be his daily.
Mckinney rebelled and finally went
to court, where he acknowledged that
small sums had been paid to him in
real money and where Judge HerVey
decided that he has coming to him
$19275 in cash.

Another suit resulting from the in

son building at Fourth street and
Broadway, preventing s. Forzley from
conducting a tea, coffee and light lunch
establishment in the basement of that

Forzley Is the plaintiff and the de-
PENDANTS are n. H. Snuff and John w.
Watson, the latter being believed to
transact business under the firm name
OF Watson & Co
Forzley claims that Snuff, while act
ing as the agent for Watson, While both
are alleged to have no right to rent the
basement for such purpose, did new
ertheless suitcase it to him to conduct
the tea, coffee and lunch establishment
November 29 1909.
On the ground that the fumes from
the cooking were a great annoyance,
the hank officials soon sought an IN
junction preventing ForZley from con-
Quoting his business below them, and
they obtained the restraining ORDER
FEBRUARY 27, 1910
Forzley now says that he eXpended
$923.5O in fixtures for his lunch room
but because of the hurry in which he
had to yacate the premises he was un-
able to dispose of them for more than

$102 in defending himself in the injunc-
ton proceedings, and in addition says
that while he was in command he was
making net profit of $75 month, and
therefore, if the lease had run the re-
mafnder of the time for which 1t was
made, thirty months, his proHts Would
have been $3.50.

Municipal Affairs
CITY. OFFICIALS RETURN
FROM AQUEDUCT VISIT
w. M. Humphreys of the Board of
Public Works Acquires Deer
Stalking Education

w. NJ. Humphreys of the board of
public works has returned from an
eight days trip along the line of the
aqueduct, bubbling over with enthusi-
asm for the project. He was accom-
panied by Homer HamIin, city en-
gineer, and ]. r. Prince, searcher in
the engineering department.
A few days rest was Mr. Hum
phreys principal object in his trip,
but he acquired liberal education in
geology, engineering and owens val
ley fauna.
The principal geological feature that
impressed Mr.. Humphreys was the
formation of the mountains and he dis
covered one feature that has, not been
dwelt on to any extent in the various
stories of the aqueduct. This is the
formation of number of mountains
in Long valley. The tops of these
mountains are of a soft stone forma-
ton and as fiat on top as though they
had been pressed with a steam roller,
said Mr.. Humphreys
When the snow on these mountain
tops melts 1t seeps into the soft stone
formation and it flows out later in the
year in clear cold streams. All this
water belongs to Los Angeles and as
it comes out in the summer months
Wnen most neeue0 II lnSuTeS Sleduy
flow that is not possible with the Or
binary mountain formation.
But shooting at deer and killing a
coyote was the wierdest experience Mr..
Humphreys had on his trip. While
bowling along in an automobile in
Long valley Mr.. Humphreys saw a
deer on top of a hogback mountain.
There wasn't any doubt that it was a
deer. Both Mr.. Hamlin and Mr.. Prince
saw it and not one in the party ever
touches a drop.
Mr. Humphreys grabbed his trusty
gun and stealthily climbed the noun
tain to the point where he had seen
the deer, but when he reached the spot
he found a coyote. He didn't intend
to make that long climb for nothing,
so he shot the coyote.
