RATES FOR TERMINAL
PRIVILEGES APPROVED
Harbor Commission Submits
Charge Schedule Which
the City Adopts

Rates for wharfage and stevedoring
were submitted to the council by the
harbor commission yesterday. The re-
port was adopted by the council and
referred to the city attorney for an
ordinance.
Lumber and other kind of merchan-
disc which comes into Los Angeles har-
Dor are specified in the rate list with
the several amounts the wharf COM
panies may charge for wharfage and
handling affixed The items are so
numerous the document looked like a
trunk railroad tariff schedule.
A. P. Fleming, secretary of the har-
Dor commission, said the amounts
fixed for wharfage and handling made
an average of about cents for the
first and so cents a ton for the second.
These prices are a little higher than
those charged at San Francisco, but
not enough to make any material diff
ference. They are a material reduc-
ton from the charges allowed under
the old board of trustees of San Pedro.
One item was especially noted. San
Pedro permitted a maximum charge
of 80 cents a 1000 feet for lumber. I'm
der the new rates the maximum is
fixed at rs cents.
The Banning company, the Salt Lake
and the Southern Pacific railroads
made objections to the license fees
which the ordinance will provide must
be paid before these companies can do
business, but the licenses were sug-
gested by the harbor commission after
long consideration and careful inves-
tigation and the council accepted the
commissions suggestions.

Municipal Affairs
To PROVIDE SHELTER
FOR JEWISH ORPHANS
Council Passes Ordinance Per-
hitting Use of Building Not
Conforming to Law.

Sympathy for IS homeless and par
entless children induced the city coun-
ell yesterday to amend the building
ordinance, so the orphans may have q
safe home. The amendment provides
that any new building which has been
used for a sanitarium, hospital or
asylum, previous to the passage of
the ordinance, may be used as such
after the passage of the ordinance
without being subject to the regula-
tions of the measure.
The unfortunate little ones are the
wards of the Jewish Orphans home of
Southern California. The orphanage
they occupied was destroyed by fire
two weeks ago and since then they
have been living in tents. But S. G..
Marshutz told the council yesterday
they could not continue to live in tents
and the little ones would suffer unless
better home was provided.
A new orphanage is being built, but
it will be a year before it dan be COM
pleted and the only building suitable
for the purpose which can be obtained
at once is a three-story frame struc
ture on the northeast corner of Fourth
and ST. Louis streets; but this build
ing did not comply with the provi
sions of the building ordinance, which
forbids the use of q frame building
of more than two stories for a hospi
tai, sanitarium or asylum, 1t being
three stories high. 1t has once been
used for an asylum, but was not in
use at the time the ordinance was
passed and in order that it may be used
to shelter the Jewish orphans the
change was made\in the ordinance.

SUGGESTS LAW TO PREVENT
oVER-CROWDING OF CARS
Advocates Display of Sign When
Seats Are Full

The council has the power to demand
Of the street railways that sufficient
cars be furnished so that those COM
PEELED to stand during the rush
hours" will not exceed more than a
stipulated percentage of the seating
capacity, according to an opinion rem
dered yesterday by City Attorney
Shenk.
Mr.. Shenk suggested that the street
car companies be given sufficient time
to secure the number of cars required
and that an ordinance be passed limit
ing the number of persons that coula
be carried on one car. When that
number is reached the car is to DIS
play a sign to that effect, and 1t VIII
be a misdemeanor for anyone to at
tempt to board the car until the sign
is removed.
This opinion was the outcome of a
suggestion made by the board Of pub
lie utilities, but as the board viii holu
further conferences with the street rail
way officials on traffic matters, Mr.
Shenk's opinion was laid on the table
awaiting the outcome of such con-
ferenCeS,

FREE MEXICAN WOMAN
FROM GUARDIANSHIP

Manuela Adargo, an aged Mexican
woman of Wilmington, yesterday was
freed from guardianship by Judge
Bordwell, presiding judge of the Los
Angeles county superior court. She
now has the right to attend to her
own affairs in general and in particu-
lar to the action which recently was
brought in her name against Mrs. NJ
E. Campillo, her daughter, to whom
she decided lots at Wilmington valued
at $4,000.
In the suit, which was decided
against her by Judge Hervey of the
superior court, it was alleged that Mrs.
Adargo was not in her right mind
when she gave the property to her
daughter and did not know the ma
ture of the paper to which she placed
her mark, being unable to read and
write.
When the case was tried, alienists
satisfied the judge that the plaintiff
was far from insane and so the deed
was permitted to stand. Since then,
Mrs. Adargo has desired to be freed
from guardianship, the wish result
ing in the action of Judge Bordwell
yesterday.

News of the Courts
CHARGE AGAINST WIFE
ABSURD, STATES JUDGE
Husband of Mrs. Mary Magee Is
Warned Against Making
New Complaint

If J. J. Magee ever swears to war
rant again, alleging that his WIFE,
Mary A. Magee, is insane he VIII be
severely punished. So Judge Bordwell
of the superior court told him yester-
day after hearing an explanation OF
why he attacked Mrs Magee's sanity.
1t was only a few days before Mrs
Magee's suit for divorce from him on
the ground of cruelty was to be heard
that the man sought Judge Bordwell
and told him of Mrs. Magee's alleged
Authorizations, among which was sup
posed to be the belief that everybody
was trying to fake from her the man
whom she sought to divorce.
When Mrs. Magee was taken before
the judge she declared she thought
her husband had sworn sne was in
sane merely to block her suit for di-
vorce and she was permitted to go
free. Nagee admitted yesterday that
he thought he would be made her
guardian in case she was declared in
sane and he also advanced the infor-
nation that "she acted queer"
Judge Bordwell delivered a. severe
lecture to Magee warning him that a
repetition of his offense would result
in punishment as severe as the court
could administer.
The Magees live at 2031 Atlantic av-
enue with four of Mrs. MAgee's chill
dren by a former husband.

Parliamentary TACTICS
SAVE BANK ORDINANCE
Amendment to Law Covering Ii
censes Sent to Committee

Opposition by Gregory and O'Brien
to an amendment to the license or
dinance providing the machinery for
collecting license fees from banks,
nearly caused that measure to gasp
its last and expire in the hands of
Minute Clerk Carroll yesterday, but
it was saved from utter determination
by some parliamentary sharp shoot
ing on the part of Andrews and Bet
kouski.
The license ordinance provides that
banks must pay one and one-half cents
on each $1,000 of loans and discounts
as a license fee, but it is so worded
the courts have construed the provi-
sion applies only to new loans and
discounts and that reduces the license
fees of the banks from the expected
hundreds of dollars every month to a
mere matter of postage stamps. The
amendment makes the provision of the
ordinance effective on outstanding
loans and discounts.
Gregory declared he was opposed to
any license fee against the banks be-
cause the banks did not use the streets,
nor require unusual police or fire pro-
lection. He said when the council was
ready to levy a license against the
big drygoods and other merchandise
stores he would be willing to vote for
a bank license, but not until then.
OBrien was opposed to the measure
! cause he did not approve Of the ar
rangement of the sliding scale. Wash
burn asked to be excused from vot-
ing because the measure affected banks
and he is president or the Equitable
Savings bank.
That left just five votes in favor Of
the measure, for Williams is away on
leave of absence, and as it bore the
emergency CLAUSE six votes were
necessary to carry it.
Betkouski, a friend OF the measure,
rose to a point Of order because the
ordinance had been placed on its pas
sage without reference to a committee.
but President Lusk overruled him be-
cause the legislation committee had
asked the city attorney to prepare
the ordinance. Betkouski and Andrews
then moved for a reconsideration. Five
votes We're sufficient to reconsider and
it was then sent back to the legisla-
ton committee where it will wait until
Williams returns.

AOUEDUCT MONEY PLANS
IN FINANCE COMMITTEE
Public Works Board Provides for
Delay by Syndicate

The demand of the board of public
works that the council provide means
to finance the construction OF the
auueduct should the bond syndicate re-
fuse to exercise it's option, February l,
was turned over to the finance COM
mittee bv the council yesterday and it
will be the duty of that committee to
carry out the suggestions of the board.
The aqueduct department wants to
spend the $2,215,000 it now has on hand
at the rate of 100000 month, instead
Of $250000 a month, as was intended.
and that rate will exhaust the money
by February 1. If the bond syndicate
exercises it's option, as the authorities
firmly believe it will do, there will be
plenty of money forthcoming February
/, but the board of public works wants
to provide for the possible contingency.

DEMAND BALANCE OF EAST
HOLLYWOOD LIGHTING FUND

A demand for 1897, the unexpended
portion of the East Hollywood light
Ing fund, is to be made on the board
of supervisors by the city auditor The
auditor brought the fact that this money
is due the city to the attention of the
council yesterday and the council told
him to go and get it.
Before East Hollywood was annexed
to the city it took advantage of a
state law to provide for its own light
ing and paid sufficient money into the
county treasury to secure what lights
it wanted. Some of the money was
spent but there is a balance of 1897.
This money will be spent to carry OUT

SUIT RECALLS HISTORY
OF FAKE WILSON 'QUADS'

Fake Wilson Squads" were brought
to mind again yesterday in Judge
Housers department of the superior
court where the suit of Sadie Engel-
man, the mother of one of them,
against Catherine z. Smith, the pro-
wider of all of them, was begun.
Miss Engelman wants $4,000 from
Mrs. Smith because she alleges she
was forced to leave her bed too soon
after becoming a mother, thus perman-
emily impairing her health. That ac-
ton, it is declared, was demanded by
the defendant when the public was
apprised of the fake perpetrated upon
it by the Wilson's, Mrs. Smith desir-
ing to have her maternity establish
ment free from suspicion.
Having been convicted of the charge
of child-stealing, Mrs. Smith now is
on probation for five years.
Little was done in the case yester-
day, except to obtain a jury. 1t will
be continued today.
