COURT HOLDS SUSPECT
IN DYNAMITE ATTEMPT
H. B. Connors, Accused of Bat
terry, Unable to Advance
$500 for Release

H. B. Connors, a striking metal
worker, who was arrested several days
ago on suspicion of completely in the
supposed attempt to dynamite the new
hall of records. was arraigned before
Police Judge Williams yesterday on
charge of battery. His bail was fixed
at $500, which he was unable to fur
nish; and he was remanded to the city
jail to await his trial, which was set
for October %.
Connors was arrested Immediately
preceding the discovery of two sticks
of dynamite placed near the south wall
of the new structure. When questioned
by Patrolman Abel he struck the Of
ficer on the chin and ran, but was soon
captured -,
Connors was lurking about the build
ing when stopped by Patrolman Abel
and his actions aroused the suspicious
of the officer. When the dynamite
was found Connors was held on sus-
picion and his movements were inves-
tigated, but nothing could be found
which would lead the officers to be-
lieve him guilty of the supposed plot:
A. b. Maple, Mrs. Myrtle Maple and
G. f. Stevens, who were arrested on
suspicion of being implicated In the
supposed attempt, are still being held
in the city jail while police detectives
are making Investigations.

TEMPORARILY GUST HEAD
OF ALEXANDRIA TRUSTEES
Action Taken in Order to Have
Light Contract Signed

Because he refused to sign light
ing contract between the city OF AL
hambra and the Pacific Light and
Power company, unless instructed TO
do so by a vote of the people, X. M:
Wallace, president of the board OF
trustees OF Alhambra, yesterday was
temporarily removed from office. and
his successor, r. r. Behlow, chair
man of the finance committee, given
power by the trustees and ordered to
sign the agreement.
The contract offered by the lighting
company was, according to many, an
ADVANTAGEOUS one for the city.
Mr.. Wallace, however, held out In
favor of a municipal plant Several
heated controversies were had by the
board of trustees, and Wallace few
days ago called a meeting of the tax
payers of the community for the pur-
pose of settling the matter.
The meeting accomplished nothing,
and, as the citizens of Alhambra were
in hurry for street lights. the trus-
tees yesterday decided to sign the con-
tract without the presidents consent.
They therefore removed him tempo
rariiy and ordered Mr.. Behlow to sign
In his stead.
The power company is under bond
to fulfil its part Of the contract and
to install the lights within four
months. The contract, calls for an g.
cent rate, and 1t is in many ways sim
liar to the contract with the same
company recently signed by South
Pasadena. :

100000 MORE TO
FINISH BUILDING
No Plans Made for Completing
Two Upper FIoorS'of the
Hall of Records
S22,63o Is NEEDED AT ONCE
S22,63e is NEEDED AT ONCE
District Attorneys Quarters Sub
jeCt of Appropriation Now
Asked by Architects

$n order to complete the sixth and
seventh stories of the hall of records it
may be necessary for the supervisors to
make another appropriation Of 100000
for that purpose in order that the two
stories can be occupied by county Of
ficials. Frank Hudson, one of the
architects, infoYmed the board that the
sum of $22, $3.50 will be needed to fix
up the north wing of the seventh floor
for the district attorney. The SUPER
visors appeared surprised on being in
formed by Architect Hudson that the
original appropriation did not provide
for the finishing Of these floors. The
architect explained that they were left
unfinished because no offices had been
assigned, therefore the architects did
not know how the floors were to be
finished.
To complete that portion of the
seventh floor wanted by the district at
torney, c. Leonardt, the general con-
tractor, wants an additional $19,406;
Woodill & Hulse, for electrical work,
wants $3.50; Eugene Murray, for heat
ing fixtures, $1096.80; Blumve & Jay,
plumbing, $1487, which makes total of
$22, ,639.80. AS this figure is only for
portion of the seventh floor, the super
visors figured that in order to complete
all of the sixth and seventh floors 1t
will be necessary to expend the sum OF
$100, 900. The supervisors did not wish
to let the contract at the present time
and referred the matter to Assistant
District Attorney Shaw to ascertain
whether the contracts can be let with
out first having to advertise for bids.

New Petitions

Due to slight changes in the pro-
posed boundary Of the new city OF

The new city will take in a strip
about half q mile wide on all sides of
the present city of Glendale and If the
consolidation carries, Glendale will be
increased in area about 2 ga times. The

MAN WHO SLASHED WIFE
TOTTERS INTO COURT
Beck Still Weak from Wounds He
Gave Self in Period of
Mad Fury

Terribly emaciated from his conhne-
ment in the county hospital, James A.
Beck, the Pomona rancher who on
August 10 wounded his wife by slash
ing her throat and then tried to kill
himself in the same manner, while both
were visiting friends at 415 South
Flower street, was arraigned before
Police Judge Williams yesterday morn
ing on a charge of assault with a dead
ly weapon. His preliminary hearing
was set for September 10 at 2 o'clock
and his bail fixed at $1,000, which he was
unable to furnish.
Beck has fully recovered from his
self-inhicted injuries and was removed
from the county hospital to the city
Jail Sunday. He was so weak when he
appeared in police court yesterday that
he had to be assisted to the bar by
Bailiff Rohn.
Beck was believed to be affected
mentally when his wife came down
from Pomona to see him. Her sus-
picions of his sanity preyed upon him,
and while she slept he attacked her
with razor, seriously wounding her'
after which he slashed his own throat.
The wire was not dangerously wounded.
although she suffered from loss OF
blood and the pain caused by num-
ber OF cuts in her hands and arms and
neck sustained while she fought on her

COUNTY TAX RATE
TO Be 80 CENTS
Board of Supervisors and Auditor
Working on Figures for
Coming Year
$2o,0oo,Oo0 LESS
School Levy Will Be Increased for
Year from 18 Cents
to IS Cents

II the figures now being compiled by
the supervisors and county auditor are
not subjected to too great changes the
state aind county tax rate for this year
will be approximately the same as that
of last year, which was 80 cents. Sew
eral conferences between the super
visors and county auditor will be held
this week, for the rate must be fixed
by Monday.
A 9O-cept tax rate for this year will
mean less taxes than last year, due
to the fact that the rate is based on a
total valuation of 1904 $50, ,205, which Is
about $2O,OO0,0OO less than the assessed
valuation of the county last year.
Although the county and state tax
will probably be the same, Los Angeles
city will have an increased special
school tax. Last year the special
school tax was 18 cents. This year it
will be 46 cents, an increase Of % cents
on each 800 of assessed valuation.
SCHOOL FUNDS
It is most probable that every de-
partment of school revenue will be
raised this year. Los Angeles city
special fund wants $668,6S6, as COM
pared to $204,551 last year. Los Angeles
city high school maintenance funds will
require $577, $780, or S250,000 more than
needs $126,733. The majority of this
increase is due to the maintenance of
schools in the annexed districts.
These school levies are made on an
assessed valuation of 1906, 175, 1872 for the
Los Angeles city district. In addition,
the common schools of this county will
require $791.711. counting the legal al
lowance of 81 for each of 8S,173 school
children, an an extra 800 for each of
1745 teachers. This levy Of $791,000 Is
counted In the regular state and county
rate of 80 cents. The other school
items are in the special tax of 46 cents.
COUNTY EXPENSES
In addition to the fund for schools,
the board will need funds to meet the
expenses of the county which will bring
the total to be raised by taxation to
SO, ,151, ,000-an approximate figure to be
changed as the board may see f1t at its
deliberations this week.
This $S,151, 900 includes the following
estimated items: General fund, $500, 900;
salaries, 100000; hospital expense,
$500, 200; hospital building fund. $100, 900;
exposition, $4,000; agricultural park
museum, $250,000: court house furni-
ture, 10000; hall of records, 5000. 900;
good roads, $4,000; detention house.
$50, 900.

TOURIST TRADE IN
DANGER-W|GGINS
Secretary of Los Angeles Cham
ber of Commerce Sounds
Note of Warning

Unless the commercial organizations
and the railroads Of this state take up
the matter seriously, Florida will cap
ture the cream of the winter tourist
trade, declares Frank Virgins, secre-
tary of the chamber of commerce.
He received a communication from
Cincinnati, o., where Los Angeles has
maintained an exhibit at the Ohio Val
ley exposition, stating that Florida
was flooding the place with literature
and that its representatives could Of
fer very favorable railroad rates all
through the year.
1--WE must certainly get busy" said
Secretary Virgins, "if we want to
keep our tourist trade. One of the
principal things is to secure more fire.
quent or permanent railroad rates for
colonists. 1t is certainly up to the
citizens as we'll as the railroad men
to see that we have more tourist rates,
especially round-trip rates"
One of the objects of the recently
formed Convention league is to bring
people out here to view the country
and thus secure the awakened interest
of thousands of persons who might
come here as delegates to some con-
vention or other.
The commercial organizations have
come to look upon winter tourists as
one of the assets of the state for so
long that efforts to secure a heavy
"crop" have not beenI as vigorous late
ly as they might have been.
Secretary Virgins is anxious to have
some one get into communication with
the railroad men who have to do with
making the rates. in order that Cali
fornia may not lose any OF its annual
influx of tourists. Naturally the roads
in this section are interested in having
a heavy tourist travel at all times of
the year, but 1t appears that Florida
boosters are exerting so much tnfiu-
ence upon the eastern roads that they
can secure the most favorable low

wealthy mining operator of this city,

was all. over. She has made numerous
attempts to secure bail. but has been
unsuccessful in all of them. Although
she represented herself as being well
connected and of wealthy parentage,
no one has come to her rescue.
It is likely Mrs. Krauss will be ar

date will be set then for her .prelim-

CLIFF IS MENACE
TO STREET BELOW
Police Give Warning of Danger
Near South Approach of
Hill Street Tunnel

To prevent a dangerous accident,
officials OF the Los Angeles-Pacific
Railroad company we're yesterday no
tilted by the police of large hssure
in the cliff beneath the northeast cor
ner Of the Highland Villa rooming
house at First and Hill streets, a
cliff that overhangs the tracks OF the
company's Hollywood and Colegrove
lines at the south approach to the
Hill street tunnel. The menace runs
for a length of ten or twelve feet, and
apparently reaches back far unoer
the frail wooden structure. Should
the earth shift trif1e, the entire clin
would crumple and fall on to the
tracks below. Cars pass at this point
every five minutes, and should one
of them be caught under the failing
earth scores of persons would be killed
instantly. The company was notlneo
of the danger in order that 1t mlgnV
take precautionary measures.
A short time ago about ten feet OF
the dirt crumbled away from under
the northeast corner of the building
and fell on the tracks below. directly
in front of car emerging from the
tunnel. 1t was with the greatest diff
ficulty that the motorman succeeded
in bringing his car to a stop and
thereby saved the lives of more than
a score of passengers.
A few months later the building was
vacated, and since that time has been
unoccupied. Guards have been placed
at the foot of a stairway which was
built leading over the tunnel to. warn
pedestrians of the immediate danger
of using 1t.
The property was purchased by the
railroad company at the time the Hill
street tunnel was built. 1t was found
necessary at that time to cut away
the earth directly to the porch of tho
rooning house, leaving 1t perched on
the crumbling edge of a cliff, q sheer
thirty feet above the tracks directly
beneath.
It is likely the railroad company
will build retaining wall, which
should have been built at the time
of the boring of the tunnel.

tiOn Against Estate

Melliza Funk's efforts to secure
Judgment in the sum of $40, 900 against
the estate of the late Theodore z.
Bunnell Of Santa Monica have been
of no avail, for yesterday Judge Well
born in the United States circuit
court sustained a demurrer to the
complaint. and by this action OF the
court Mrs. Funk lost her case.
Mr.. Bunnell died about eight years
ago, leaving an estate valued at S175,-
900, and Mrs. Funk brought action,
alleging that she held three notes
made by Bunnell shortly before his
death. She claims that these notes
were given her to fright great
wrong" alleged to have been done by
Bunnell when Mrs. Funk was girl
in Indiana fifty-one years ago. The
notes, according to the complainant,
provided that an aggregate of 100000
be paid her after the makers death,
Judge Wellborn ruled that the notes
we're invalid chiefly because of lack
of consideration.
