DENIES REQUEST TO RAISE
ASSESSMENT ON PROPERTY
Council Hears Protests Regard
ing Violations in City

The owners of the American Ma
tional Bank building at Second and
Broadway yesterday asked the city
council, sitting as a board of equaliza-
tion, to reduce it's assessment from
S45, 900 to $500, on the grounds that it
was the intention to wreck the build
ing, and in view of this, $500 would
represent the amount that could be
realized from the wreckage.
1t was shown that March Z, when
the assessment was made up, the
building was standing, and worth the
amount of the assessment. The pro-
test was denied.
Contrary to the tactics of most of
the property owners who appear before
the board, F. w. Kellogg of San Pc
dro asked that the assessment be
raised on two lots he owns in the
Rudecinda tract at San Pedro. The
lots were assessed at 5000 and $500 re-
spectively, and Kellogg asked that the
assessment be raised to 5000 and $1,000.
The board thoroughly inquired into
Kelloggs reason for asking for the
raise in assessment, and discovered
that he had been at war with other
property owners of the district in
which his lots are located. The re-
quest was denied.

YOUNG FORGER NARROWLY
: ESCAPES TERM IN PRISON
False Statements Regarding His
Age Cause Philip ASbury
to Be Held

False statements that he was 10
years of age, made months ago in
order to get job, came near costing
j. Phillip Asbury, 17-year-old forger, a
long term in the penitentiary yester-
day, when he appeared before Judge
Wilbur. All the efforts of mother and
neighbors were necessary, together
with baby photographs and accom-
panying dates, to show that the lad
will not be IS until the 18th of next
month
A check for $1575, passed on the
White Automobile agency, for which
he received an automobile, as well as
other checks for $500 and $50 respec-
lively, shown and admitted by Asbury
to have been forged by him. The only
explanation he could offer was that he
didn't know why he did it, except he
got in bad company and "the others
put him up to it,"
Judge Wilbur continued the case un-
til this morning, but stated he would
send the boy to the George Junior Re
public to show what he can do as soon
as the mothers consent is secured.

Vacation in an Exalted
Frame of Mind
Associated Press1

SEATTLE, July 13.-Secretary of the
Interior Richard A. Ballinger arrived
home from washington tonight to pass
the summer vacation. The first thing
the secretary said on his arrival is that
he has no intention of resigning.
Secretary Ballinger stated he had no
intention of taking any active part In
politics in this state during the present
campaign.
ut has been frequently stated" said
the secretary, "that l intend to resign,
and that 1 have moved my household
furniture away from Washington.
There is absolutely no foundation for
any such statements. 1 am not made
of the resigning material, and do not
propose to crafty those persons who
want me to resign. That is not my op-
ject in being in office.
"I expect to administer the interior
department in a legal manner and In
manner which believe will ultimately
receive the appreciation of everyone.
PLEASED BY CONGRESS
81 am greatly pleased with the legis-
1ation enacted by congress AFFECTING
the interior department, and which for
the most part has been the enactment
of the policies of the administration in
giving legal authority to Withdraw
public lands for the purpose of classl-
ncaJlOn, anu 10 SIldblS SOllG CSS AZ SAA
act legislation for the proper disposition
of the public domain.
"The $20,OOO,000 reclamation bond is
sue was an administration measure, as
was the largely increased appropria-
ton for the survey of public lands, not
only in the United States, but the
100000 appropriation for surveys in
Alaska.
"The interior department secured
%Iro,,ob nprass moro substantial leg
isIation at the last session than for
several years previous. A very fine
measure passed was that which enables
surface entry in lands containing coal
and the disposition of the coal under
appropriate laws.
II take great satisfaction, not only in
the results affecting the interior de-
partment, but the other departments
as well. 1 feel particularly y glad that
President Taft has secured the fulfill
ment of substantially all the party
pledges"

INTOXICATION DEFENSE
FREES ALLEGED F0RGER

Ten minutes only were required yes
terday for the jury In the case of B.
o. Simpson, charged with forgery, to
return a verdict of not guilty. The
check in question was for SIS, drawn
on the Bank of South Pasadena and
alleged to have been presented by
simpson to be cashed in the Frank
Troxler saloon of San Pedro.
Intoxication was the chief defense,
it being contended that there was no
intent to defraud, which is necessary
to prove forgery.
At the same time another jury in
Judge Willis court adjoining, that
went out at the same time, returned
with a verdict of guilty in the case Of
Clarence B. Wood, charged with fail
ing to provide for his wife. An ap-
plication for probation will be made.
