LEGAL ADVICE
PROVIDED FREE
BY LEGACY
SAN DIEGO, July 24 (by Associated
Press).—In a report made by P. A.
Whitacre, recently appointed by the
San Diego Bar Association as public
legal aid, the attorney shows that dur
ing the two months the office has been
in existence he has received more
than 125 calls for advice.
The office of public defender was
established to conform to the provi
sions of a legacy left by Lieutenant
Dewitt C. Mitchell, who died while in
the military service of the United
2
States. Lieutenant Mitchell, before
entering the service, was an attorney
in this city. Control of the legacy and
disbursement of funds thereby pro
vided was left to the San Diego Bar
Association.
Few of the cases submitted to the
public defender have been carried to
the courts, an amicable settlement
having been arranged wherever pos
sible.
Persons applying for relief or de
fense who are found to be attempting
to usurp privileges to which they are
not entitled are sent elsewhere. The
public defender has had little of this
to contend with, however, according to
his report, “and no trepidation need
be felt by the worthy applicant.”
The trust stipulates that—
“All persons who shall apply to said
public attorney for his aid and assist
ance and who shall appear to him to
be in need of an attorney shall be ben
eficiaries of this trust, and said public
attorney shall prosecute or defend
their legal rights or give them legal
aid or defense as the case may be, pro
viding, however, that said public at
torney shall not engage in prosecut
ing or defending matters of a criminal
nature nor in the conduct of divorces
or annulment suits, but shall confine
his services to matters of a civil na
ture.”
Requests tor relief are varied and
cover all classes of civil litigation.
Many former soldiers and sailors have
called for aid.
The trust was not established pri
marily as a charity. The only charges,
however, are for filing and other costs.
A stipulation in the terms of the foun
dation shows that it was planned to
“help him who helps himself.” The
will says:
“I hereby subscribe to the view that
persons who have saved a little money
or other property, and who are in dan
ger of losing it, are more worthy of
help to preserve what they have laid
by than persons who have not had the
foresight or self-control to lay by sav
ings.”
Lieutenant Mitchell’s mother, Mrs.
Austin W. Mitchell, has enlarged the
scope of her son’s legacy by supply
ing funds for the maintenance of an
office in a centrally located building.
Stenographic, telephone and other j
service also has been furnished.
Whitacre was appointed May 5 to i
serve one year, successive appoint
ments to be made by the bar associa
tion for one-year periods.

tric plate, especially the kind with 3

INCREASE IN TRAMWAY
AND OMNIBUS FARES
CAUSING DISCONTENT
LONDON, June 13 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press),—The ques
tion of the increase in tramway fares,
and also those of the motor omnibuses,
has caused widespread discontent here
lately. In some instances the fares in
London and the suburban districts
have been raised more than 100 per
cent over those charged in pre-war
days.
The result has been that public opin
ion has been worked up to such an ex
tent that nearly every day London
members of parliament are asking
questions on the subject in the house
of commons and deputations are fre
quently seeking interviews with the
London county council and the omni
bus companies concerned.
The first step toward the increase
was the abolition of the halfpenny fare
and latterly the reduction of the dis
tance which could be traversed for the
penny fare.
The companies declare that the in
crease is necessary to meet the extra
expenses which have occurred by the
workmen’s demands for shorter hours
and more pay. The public alleges that
the additional cost of running is made
up by the extra fares taken since hos
tilities ended.
An interesting sidelight on this is
provided by the accounts of the Glas
gow Corporation Tramways in the next
largest city to London. The year that
has just closed has proved a record
for the city. Prior to the war the
fares were the cheapest in the coun
try, and they have since been main
tained as before. The revenue for
fares for the year 1918-1919 totaled
£1,500,000, an increase of £123,000
over the year 1917-191S. The number
of passengers carried increased by
more than 33,000,000. It is stated in
the report that GO per cent of the in
crease came from the halfpenny fares.
JUNEAU IMPORTS DOG
CATCHER AND CORDOVA
NEEDS MAN FOR JOB
Juneau is to have a real up-to-date
dog catcher of the imported variety,
who knows how to “detect” dogs even
in the “bosom of the fireside,” and
take them to the dog pound, when
they are unadorned with a bona fide
1919 license.
The young colored gentleman,
whose name is Johnny Morman, ar
rived on the Northwestern, and in
less than half an hour one of the city
councilmen had contracted with him
to “clean up the dogs.” He informed
the city dad that he was the real thing
when it came to catching dogs, and he
is on the job.
According to the new dog ordinance
the fact that dogs are kept at home
does not exclude them from the provi
sions of the act, since the ordinance
provides that every dog in the city
must be licensed. Citizens will save
themselves extra expense by inter
viewing A. B. Cole and getting a tag.
The license fee is $4 for males and
.$6 for females.—Juneau Empire.

I GOODRICH Shoes j
; outwore Six pairs of his”
He is an old timer—been in Alaska for 21
j years—and just back in the States. He
! was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
asked him, of course, if he ever used our
! Goodrich “Hi-Press” Boots and Shoes
while he was up there, and he said—
“Say, those are some shoes you people make. 4
Why, 1 remember one time when my part
ner and I went over the hills and I wore a
pair of your Goodrich White Pacs. He
' didn’t! And he wore out six pairs before
i we got back—I still wore my first pair.”
There’s the result of making Goodrich
Rubber Footwear the new way,—IN ONE
SINGLE PIECE—rubber tough as steel—
no leaking, no peeling, no half-soling. And
they’re comfortable—feel like old shoes
before you’ve worn them 24 hours.
