Especial to The Herald


VENICE, Jan. 27.-The proposed
aviation meet at Venice it to be a
reality. 1t is to be meet of anna
tours, and although records are not
expected to be broken by the would
be flyers, some spectacular sights are
promised. The exhibition will last at
least thirty days, possibly longer. The
date when it will open has not yet
been set, but a committee is working
on the arrangement of final details.
1t is proposed to bring all the am
bilious aviators of Los Angeles, about
thirty in all, to Venice with their ma
chimes, which include all sorts of
aeroplanes, from some resembling the
Farman biplane to bird-lilIe mono
planes of the Bleriot type. Most of
these machines will fly in the opinion
of the inventors. The only thing that
prevents them so doing is lack of en-
gines. This little difficulty is to be
overcome by the purchase of an engine
which will be installed in the machines
of the more promising type and flights
attempted.
At a meeting of the merchants of
Venice, which is boosting the project,
az committee was appointed with full
power to proceed with the plans for
the, aviation meet. A fund of $500

for experimental purposes.
The exhibition will be held on the
Midway, but the aviation field will
be located in the east end of the city,
where a. great level tract is to be
leased. Several of the aeroplanes to
be entered, are said to possess promising
features, the value of which will be
ascertained during the exhibition. The
machines will be housed on the Mid
way and the affair will practically be-
come an aeroplans show, the first of the
kind to be held in the history of aVia--
ton. Each will possess a number and
attendants will. explain the details OF
construction.
The committee expects to procure
the services of successful aviators in
making the Venice meet a complete
success. Among those mentioned are
Charles Hamilton and Charles willard
Edgar Smith, the Los Angeles lnVen-
tor, who was injured at Dominguez
field, will be among the exhibitors
here Can't. A. 70. Muellor, who is con-
structing a large inonoplane on the
Midway, will be one OF the star at
fractions, as he expects TO complete
his machine by the time the met is
held, probably in February. The com
mittee plans to arrange trial nights
for Sundays.

BURNED FOOT
POINTS TOCRIME
M0JAVE DESERT FIND YELLED
IN MYSTERY
WORK OF ADO PASS GANG is
SUGGESTED
Scorched Member Laced in High Top
Boot an Indication of Bands
Method of Forcing Victims
to Reveal Treasure

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 27.-The
find of a human foot on the Mojave
desert, laced into a high top boot and
bearing indications of having been
burned, has caused widespread excite
ment among the miners and officers
of the desert regions in the south
west. 1t is believed that the gruesome
find points to a murder mystery, pos
sibly the work of the Abo pass rob-
bers, who, for many months, have
terrorized settlers along the Arizona
New Mexico border line.
The evidence of the flesh of the foot
having been burned strengthens the
theory that the Abo pass gang has
extended its operations to California.
This band of robbers and murderers
have used peculiar method to force
their victims to point out the hiding
places of their money. If they refuse
to tell where their treasure is located
the robbers who travel in band OF
a dozen, bind and saturate the feet
of their victims with OIL and in some
cases their entire bodies. II they then
refuse to tell they are burned alive.
It is now said that the three men who
were burned in this manner at Ash
Fork were the victims of this gang.
One of the men died in the Phoenix
county hospital from injuries he re-
ceived. At the Abo pass, Mr.. and
Mrs. Espiasano were overpowered by
a gang of armed men and when they
refused to state where their wealth
was hidden, they were covered with
oil. They surrendered their hidden
treasure when matches were struck to
ignite the oil. Charles Ray was also
a victim of the same gang, the ROBBERS
securing $3.50 in the same manner.
1t is said that the officers of New
Mexico and Arizona will unite ana
appeal to both the federal govern
ments of the United States and Mex
leo for assistance, it being believed
that the operations of the gang ex-
tend in the latter country.
The human foot was found by ID.
F. Watson within a few hundred yards
of the Colorado river in lonely gulch
known on the desert as the James,
town crossroad. 1t plainly had been
burned and a portion of the upper
part of the boot showed where the
flames ate into the leather.

lITTLEPROGRESSM MADE
IN GAS REBATE CASES
WITNESSES ARE NOT ALLOWED
TO TESTIFY
Police Judge Makes Ruling That Gus"
tom of Giving Rebates Cam
not Be ConclusiVely
Shown

AS the result of the ruling OF Police
Judge Rose. who yesterday refused to
allow some thirty or forty witnesses
to give their testimony in the prose-
cution of certain officers and employees
of the Los Angeles Gas and Electric
corporation for alleged rebating, the
case probably will come to naught.
1t was the intention of Prosecutor
Eddy to show that the rebating prac-
tice had been general in parts of the
city where the Los Angeles Gas and
Electric corporation has competition.
He had supoenaed nearly forty wit
nesses to tell of rebates paid to them'
The testimony of these witnesses was
excluded by Judge Harry H. Rose.

PENDANTS" r. NJ. Adams and A. b.
Day. who also were mentioned as de-
PENDANTS, were released from their
connection with the case on motion or
the prosecution. Adams and Day were
called as witnesses for the prosecution
in order to establish certain facts In
reference to the alleged rebating, and
so could not be made defendants as
well. ]. F. Hall and Mrs. j. +. Hall,
formerly Miss E. Ripenburg, are the
chief or prosecuting witnesses. 1t Is
to Hall and his wife that the speclhc
rebates are alleged to have been given,
contrary to the law.
Say Rebates Were Given
Briefly, it is alleged that Hall and
his wife conducted a rooming house at
436 South Hill, and between January
10. 1909 and April 2, 1909, secured gas
service from the Los Angeles Gas and
Electric corporation. Prior to that per-
iod. and subsequent to it, they received
service from the Lowe Gas company
AS an inducement to cease taking SER
vice from the Lowe company and &c
over to the Los Angeles company, II
is alleged that rebates were given. The
rebate said to have been agreed upon
was 10 per cent of the bill which was

company.

has been STAYED off by adroit legal

II is alleged that A. B. Foreman

on instructions from the officers and
directors of the gas corporation, made
the contract with the Halls and paid
them the rebates agreed upon. He

night firemen with formidable

Workmen had torn up the crossing
at George street, and had partly laid

Defense Enters Objection

When the prosecution tried to estab
fish the relation between Hall and
Miss Ripenburg, so as to connect her
with the prosecution as Mrs. Hall, the
defense made strenuous objection. 1t
was declared that because Hall had not
made a contract he was not in any
way a party to the suit and that his
testimony could not be considered rel
eVant or material He finally was al
lowed to stand aside for the time be-
ing.
Mrs. Hall was called to the stand.
fHer testimony was direct and forceful
She said she had been approached by
A. B. Foreman several times to make
q contract with the Los Angeles Gas
and Electric company for gas service.
She said that the first time she was
asked to cease buying gas from the
Lowe company was in December, 1908
and that after some alluring prospects
of lower rates and smaller bills had
been held out she finally consented to
sign a contract.
Briefly, the arrangement, made with
Foreman, she said, was that her bills
for each month would be mo- greater
than the average of any three bills for
service rendered by the Lowe, COM
pany, and that a 10 per cent rebate
from that amount would be made. She
received rebates twice. One of these
rebates was for the month of Feb
ruary and the other for the month of
March. She was not quite clear as
to whether a rebate for January had
been paid
The procedure, she testified, was af-
ter she received the bill to telephone
Foreman. He would come to her place
| of business, look at the bill and then
has 10 f1a
headquarters. Later, she said, he
would return with the rebate, paying
her in cash.
In April, she declared, she was re-
fused to rebate on one pretext or an
| other, so ordered out the Los Angeles
service and began taking the Lowe
| service.
Receipts Are Missing
On cross examination by Attorney
Jud Rush, Mrs. Halls statements were
mistaken. She did not develop any
new evidence except that she is not
| now in possession of the receipts for
money paid the company.
Hall was again called to the stand.
He corroborated his wife's statements
in every detail. He said he was pres
ent when the original solicitation was
made by Foreman and when the con-
tract was signed. He also said that
he had been present when his wife had
called Foreman on the telephone, when
Foreman had called for the bills and
when the rebates were paid. He was
allowed to step down after brief cross
examination, during which no new
facts were developed.
Alvin r. Evinger and James T. Nc
| Donald, bookkeepers for the gas com
pany, were called ~ the stand on
stipulation. They had with them the
ledgers showing the debts and cred
! its for gas service rendered Mrs.
Halls rooming house. From the tes-
timony of these two witnesses all ap-
peared regular, each bill having been
computed on the basis of so cents per
thousand cubic feet, and apparently
having been paid for on that basis.
The clerks were the last witnesses
called before adjournment was taken

missed before they had given any
testimony.
Hall stated that he had lived at 436
South Hill street during the time in
which the alleged rebates were grant
ed. He said he was employed by Miss
Ripenburg, whom he has since mar
ried, and that, although he had not
actually made any contracts for gas,
he was familiar with the details of
the contracts entered into.
