THE BOLT FALLS.
First Arrest for False Vote
Counting.
Ben Napthaiy, the WelI-Known Law
yer, Heads the Defense Assoc
cations Black List.

There was bolt from the blue yesterday
which fell upon Benjamin F. Napthaly. the
well-known pOlIce-court practitioner.
Late in the afternoon warrant was OBJ
tanned from Superior Judge Slack by the
Citizens Defense Association to arrest
Napthaly on the charge Of falsely counting
votes at the last election.
Napthaly happened to be passing the
courtroom shortly after the issuance of the
warrant and was promptly arrested by
Officer Hutchinson, who took him to the
City Prison. whence he afterward was
taken uptown in search of bondsmen.
he toiled until late 10 the night and found
bondsmen, but was unabl to find a Judge
who would acreDt the bonds. In an inter
view he told the reporters Of the morn
ing papers that all would have been well IL
the money which Mike de Young had put
up had been produced al the critical mo-
meDt.
This arrest is only the first of a number
to be made by the Citizens Defense Asso-
citation.
Pursuing its invariable policy of not
striking until the iron is hot, the association
has been diligently investigating tho preva-
lent rumors OF frauds perpetrated in count
ing ballots at the last election.
The result has been an UNEXPECTEDLY large
discovery OF evidence Of crookedness in
counting.
The efficient committee having The inves
legation IN charge reports that 1t has practi-
cally conclusive evidence against me mbers
of election boards in widely different pre-
cincts.
1t would be difficult and inadvisable TO
indicate where the lightning will strike
next.
No man who changed a single vote or
threw out ballot Is secure, for voluntary
iDformers are said to be assisting the inves-
tigating committee and serious revelations
are daily being made.
The charge against b. +. Napthaly con-
sists OF Reading off falsely" and the testi-
mony tends to show that he stole votes
In the case particularly OF four important
Offices.
He is said to have stolen from O'DonnelI
for Mayor, although the person to be bene-
hted Is not made public; from Scott for
Sheriff. to give to McDade. from Beatty and
Foote for Barnes as District Attorney, from
Joachimsen as Police Judge for some one
else.
The exact extent of his depredations. N
any, may be shown by the best evidence OF
the ballots themselves, but in the mean time
the evidence OF associates has also been
secured.

spheres of duty and responsibility the more

The greater the number of customers and

each should select what their purse COM

''Let me give few general hints only. II
will be wise for ordinary people not trained
in culinary art TO tackle only ordinary din
nerS.
California has not such a variety OF eat
ables as have the Eastern States. On the
other hand there is great plenty of such
foods as are TO be had, and prices are much
cheaper than in the East.
''1n selecting a menu one should be care
full not TO select meat or vegetables which
are not naturally in season at this time OF

ITO prepare and combine a dinner OF
artifcially produced material requires
knowledge of chemistry which only comes
to specially skilled cooks who make an art
