Pata Verdict
Is Set Aside

The verdict Of guilty in the case
Of b. Pata in the justice Of peace
court at Holtvillc last week was set
aside yesterday and no mention of
a new trial was made.
Pata was convicted by a jury on
a charge of failure to pay wages in
connection with the harvesting and
Grating Of vegetables last year.
Testimony was to the effect that
Pata had hired a negro, William
Ivory, and the work had been let to
number of Mexicans by Ivory.
1t was shown that Pata paid Ivory
but the latter failed to pay the Mex
leans. However the jury believed
Pata was able to afford the workers
relief and convicted him.
The case as it now stands means
that the MeXicans don t get paid.
Kendall B. Perkins was attorney
for Pata.

NO DOC POUND
SOLUTION NEAR
Present Regime Not to Act,
Slack Indicates.

Proposal that the city erect new
dog pound probably will not be acted
upon by the present city admins
tration, Mayor L. Ert Slack indi-
Gated today.
The site at Pipps street and
.Pendleton pike, donated to the city
by Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin L. Patrick,
last July, was accepted finally by
city council Monday night on the
condition that the city could use
it as deemed wise" 1t originally
was specified that the property be
used for a dog pound site, but the
ordinance was amended after objec-
ton was raised by residents of the
neighborhood.
Mayor L. Ert Slack pointed out
possibility of finding a site along
White River near the city sanitation
plant, but declared he does not in
tend to push the project in the two
remaining months of his term.
On motion of Herman P. Lieber,
chairman of the committee to rec
ommend a solution of the dog pound
troubles, the council unanimously
adopted a resolution lauding Mr.
and Mrs. Patrick for their public
spirit in making the gift and their
fine attitude on the use of the prop
erty."
Contributions of $4,000 for the
police radio fund we're accepted and
50, 1888 was appropriated for election
expense.

settlement Of the $4,000 900 debt
would be made in accordance with
terms embodied in the Mellon Berenger
plan.
A hearing on the resolution has been
called for Wednesday by the House
ways and means committee. Chair.
man Hawley hopes for action before
the proposed congressional recess be-
gins.
Introduction Of the resolution followed
conversations between Treasury officials
and French Ambassador Claudel and
the receipt of assurances from the
French government that it had no OBJ
lection to the enactment Of such legis-
lation by the American Congress.
Under the resolutions, interest pay
ments on the obligation would fall due
August l and February /. All Of the
interest payments on this part of the
French war debt have so far been met
by France.
Treasury officials last week pointed
out to the Ambassador the delicate STU
alton which might arise If the French
Parliament ratified the Mellon Berenger
agreement while Congress was in recess
and was thus unable to approve the
agreement on the part of the United
States and make its operation inme-
diately effective.
Postponement Assurance Given.
The Treasury noted that in such q
case the American Government would
be forced to call for collection of the
100000, 900 on August /, although this
sum is included in the total of S4.o25,-
100000 of the Mellon-B erenger agree.
ment. The Treasury assured Anibas-
sador Claudel that legislation would be
proposed to postpone this obligation II
