ABSENT APABLASA.
He FAILS TO APPEAR TO ANswER
A FORGERY CHARGE.
4 Scion OF An cid Spanish Family IN
Trouble - The Case Continued.
Rumors Of Other PossI-
BILE Charges.

John V. Apablasa was conspicuously
absent from Justice Bartholomew
court room yesterday morning ct $3.50
o'clock when he should have been pres
ent to answer to the charge of forgery.
The complaint was fled over week
ago. When arrested the young man,
who IL membar o. one Of the old Span
ish families Of the city, was allowed to
20 on his own recognizance, the examin-
alton being set for yesterday morning.
There were number Of witnesses in
attendance and the case was continued
until o'clock in the afternoon. Az
that time Apablasa was still missing,
and 1t was openly stated that be was
either keeping out Of the way Or had
skipped.
After waiting until 2:so Mr.. Bentley
and Mr.. Montafio, representing the
prosecution, said Apablssa's uncle had
assurance that II continuance were
granted until Saturday at 2 o'clock the
defendant would be present. To this
arrangement the court consented and
the case went over until that time.
The crime which Apablasa 10 accused
OF committing was done in connection
with the execution of note for 800
made to W. G. Bsylie and on which he
borrowed that amount from him. The
signatures to the note are alleged to be
partially genuine and partially forgeries.
His own signature and that Of B. A. Lugo
are admitted to be genuine, but the
third is pronounced forgery. 1t pur-
ports to be the signature of Mrs. b. A..
de Lugo. Not being able to write, her
mark is given as being made by A. Lugo.
This signature ia the basic OF the COM
plant.
1t was stated in the court room that
possibly the reason Apablasa remained
away was on account OF other charges he
fears will be made against him, and he
is trying to get time to straighten some
queer transactions in which he has been
engaged. 1t is claimed that he has
drawn checks and had them cached by
various persons when he had no cash In
bank. The case is causing considerable
OF q stir among the Spanish people in the
.ity and friends Of the family.

INFAMOUS JOURNALISM.

That self-styled ''journal OF civiliza-

instant, has the effrontery to publicly
insult the people OF the south and west,
by holding up in leading editorial and
by cartoon to public odium, six able
and hoRQrable gentlemen, who, because
they are true to their convictions, and
are eminent champions of great cause
which is not alone the cause of the
south and west, but Of the north and
east as we'll, are thus singled out osten-
tatiously by name, and called "enemies
OF the public welfare"
The names Of these leaders in the
great fight for a return to our constitu-
tional e-standard-names which
our people will honor for the scurrilous
abuse they receive as we'll as for their
great services-are senators Henry M.
Teller and Edward 0. Wolcott of Colo.

THE CABLE ROAD SALE.

It So Ordered Postponed Until Early
Next Month";
The cable road was to have been sold
today by Commissioner Thomas at pub
lie auction under foreclosure proceed
ings.
A number OF people, including several
newspaper men, have been saving up
their salaries for several weeks, intend
ing to be present at the sale this morn
ing and make some bids, but they will
be disappointed, for the sale has been
postponed until October 4th.
There are two reasons assigned fol-
this, of which the reader can take his
choice.
The first is that there has been some
error In the legal proceedings, possibly
in overlooking the fact that several mo.
tions asking for new trial have not
been decided.
The second is the suggestion that
holders OF the cable first mortgage bonds
have become dissatisfied with the dicker
by which they agreed to exchange their
securities for first bonds in the Consoli-
daed Electric company.
But whatever the reason may be,
whether "the unusual stringency In the
money market" or not, the sale will not
be made today.

Sam Hamilton hsd tilt with Judge
Pierce yesterday in department two of
the superior court, in which the attorney
came quite near arousing the amiable
San Diego ijurist to q pitch whore he
would have fined him for contempt OF
court. sf.e sM NoF -a,1f
It came up over Mr.. HamiIton's con-
tinued efforts to see his children, whom
he claims Mrs. Hamilton has secreted,
although he is entitled to see them
pending theAsettlement OF the divorce
suit.
The day before he went to Judge
Pierce. who is presiding for Judge Nc
Kinley, with an a6idavit setting forth
attorneys for Mrs. Hamilton be served
and that they serve Mrs. Hamilton with
tho order to allow him to see the chill
dren 1t reasonable times. or show cause
why she should not.
Judge Pierce told him he would not
make such an order, 40 service should be
made on Mrs. Hamilton and not the at.
torneys.
Hamilton went away and found Judge
Shaw. who signed the order, and when
the order to show cause came up in de-
partment two, Judge Pierce was there
presiding.
He scored Mr.. Hamilton, telling him
that he did not see that he was very far
from being in contempt Of court for act
ing as he had done.
In excuse Hamilton said that he un-
deistood the court to tell him that II he
could find any of his own county judges
to sign his order 1t would be all right.
Judge Pierce did not remember that
he said that, but let the contempt mat
ter pass, and said that he was OF the
same opinion that he was the day be-
fore. He would either have to proceed
by getting personal service on his wife
or by habeas corpus.
After some further discussion In which
Hamilton said he had two witnesses
present to testify as to where his wife
was. the court dismissed the proceed
inRa.
