T HEARS TESTIMONY AS TO DUTY OF CITIZENS' PATROL Witnesses Appear in Defense of Men Ac- cused of Murdering Heber Tilden. The preliminary examination of George ‘W. Simmons, Malcolm T. Vance and E. S. Boynton of- the citizens’ patrol, charged with the murder of Heber C. Tilden at Twenty-second and Guerrero streets on the morning of April 22, was continued before Police Judge Shortall yesterday. A number of witnesses were called for the defense, with the object of proving the authority under which the defendants acted. Colonel Walter N. Kelly of the First Regiment, N. G. C., testified that the cit- izens' patrol was organized under his or- ders, as he believed at the time the city was under martial law and that prac- tically it was a time of insurrection and war. The patrol. was subordinate to the National Guard. and its members were simply to see that there were no fires in houses, no looting and generally to see | that law and order were preserved. No imember had authority to shoot any TSon. ‘Willlam H. McCarthy, Harry B. Walms- ley and Phillip L. Bannan, who were in command of squads of the patro! as or- ganized by Colone! Kelly, were also called 1o testify to the duties of the patrol. They all admitted that no authority was given to shoot. .The case will go on again this morning. Detective Braig took’a look at Sim- mons in court yesterday and said he ar- rested him about two years ago, with Clarence Yates, on 2 charge of petty lar- jceny for stealing two valuable suit cases at the Empire liotel on Bush and Leaven- ‘worth streets, where they were both em- ploved. They both pleaded gulity before. Police Judge Fritz and Simmons was sent —_—— to sea. At a meeting of the Board of Pub- lic. Works yesterday afternoon it was decided to take. action against persons who disregard the order to tear down cGangzrous ‘walls and to cause their arrest.

Action on Los Angeles Request Will Be Reconsidered. Upon the representations made by the citizens of Long Beach and re- lying upon an act adopted by the Legislature in 1903,.the joint commit- tee on call for special session of the Legislature decided to take under reconsideration its vote to recommend the consolidation of Los Angeles with surrounding municipalities. The com- munication from Long Beach appears to be signed by the greater part of the town’s inhabitants and is a vehem- ent protest against consolidation and an expression of bellef in the future as a separate city. The act of 1903 authorizes two or more cities to com- bine in securing an adequate water supply, by the issue of bonds or other- wise. The members of the committee said they had been misinformed by the civic delegation from Los Angeles con- cerning the temper of the people in and around Los Angeles on the matter of consolidation. In moving to re- consider, R. H. Countryman said that he considered the inclusion of the Los Angeles matter, bringing in with it legislation of other cities, to be the one mistake made by the committee. By unanimous consent the reconsider- ation of the matter was set by Chair- man Tirey L. Ford for this morning. A. Ruef then submitted the draft of his amendment to the constitution regarding the proposed delegation of power to San Francisco to deal in real estate for the purpose of widening streets and obtaining thoroughfares. The amendment in full follows: For and during the period of two years from the date of the adoption hereof the city and county of San Francisco by ordi- nance adopted bv a two-thirds vote of its Board of Supervisors, and approved by its Mayor, may acquire, purchase, con- demn, or accept donation of lands to-be used for streets, parks, boulevards, reser- voirs or esplanades, or to be exchanged for lands to be used for such purposes, and may sell or may exchange lands now used or hereafter to be acquired by it for such purposes for other lands to be used for the same or similar purposes, and may sell er exchange for other lands to be used for the same or similar pur- ses, any lands now or heretofore used gg' it as sites for public or municipal buildings, and may change, widen or extend the. lines of its streets and the lines, routes or terms of any privileges or franchises for pipes, pipelines, con- duits, wires, tracks or roadbeds now held or enjoyed by any person, firm or corpo- ration in or on any of its streets, and may so regulate and restrict the use of its streets and the operation of any pri- ileges or franchises therein or thereon as to protect its streets and any improve- ments which may be made therein or thereon from destruction, damage or in- jury. In all cases proper compensation shall be allowed for all property or rights taken, acquired or affected by such ac- tion. No property or rights shall be taken without the consent and concurrence of persons owning the same, except under the right of eminent domain and accord- ing to law. The powers hereby conferred shall with respect to the subject matters hereof not be subject to the provisions of the charter.of said city and county. The consideration of the amend- ment was set for' a special order of business at 10 o’clock this morning. In commenting on the measure, Ruef said that at the present time it was impossible to exchange frontages or lots for other lots required for im- provemerts. Ruef said that while it was possi- ble under the proposed ordinance to change the City Hall site, that was a Structure on Mar- ket Street. liMagec & Sons Get Out | the First-Class A Permit.

It is so compiled as to supply the company in the smallest compass of space with all of the material necessary to its business, so that it may examine a title and determine whether it can insure it in the hands of its owner as unassailable. “search” must be instituted in each instance by persons trained in the use of the plant, whose duty it is to sort out, collect and tabulate/the particular instruments affecting the title under search.
