EDS. RECORD UNION: On my return
to the city last evening after an absence
OF two days. was surprised to be in
formed that there was much comment
upon the publication of what purported
TO be the ticket of the American Protec
tive Association, and that my name ap-
peared thereon.
Individually l do not think that any
explanation from myself is necessary,
but. friends who have taken great interest
IN my campaign think otherwise, hence
this communication.
In the first place / will say I have
always been a firm believer in the
Declaration of independence, especially
, where 1t says, THAT all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their
creator with certain inherent and in
alIenable rights; that among these are
lie, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness and 1t has also been my belief that
all men have the right to worship God
according to the dictates of their own
conscience.
L am member of the Protestant
Church. never at any time belonged to
or affiliated with the American Pro-
tectlVe Association, or any similar
organization.
10 illustrate, I was in favor Of the nom
lnation of Frank D. Ryan for District At
torney, and l hope he will be elected; not
because he is Catholic but because he
Is capable and honest. Ii he were run
ming and making a campaign on the
claim OF being Catholic, l would oppose
him.
was placed in nomination by Judge
James b. Devine. He acted on my re-
quest, because he was my friend.
L would oppose any man who was rum
ming for Office on the plea or claim that
was Protestant.
All these sentiments were we'll known
to all who have had any occasion to take
any interest in me personally.
Ii the American Protective Association
has Endorsed me, they did so knowing
my sentiments, and have acted for rea-
sons of their own.
The matter of the motives of the men is
usually determined from results, and
am incapable of deciding such questions
to the satisfaction of anyone but myself
am desirous of election, but will not
set up any standard of sect or opinion as a
qualification for voters, but leave such
matters to the decision of each person for
himself
Trusting l have myself clear, L remain.
respectfully, l.. Il. HATFIELD.

MR.. BUEHLER ACCUSED,
THE GRAND JURY MOVES ON THE
SCHOOL BOARD.
An Accusation Filed Yesterday After.
noon to Have tho Director Re-
moved from Offics for Will
fuI Misconduct.

The grand jury has at last begun to
move upon the city board of education.
1t has been KIN own for some time that
the acts of the board have been under
investigation. and that numerous wit
nessea have bsen examined with view
to getting at the true inwsrdness of the
bond OF union which seems to have
cemented six or seven members into an
offensive and defensive alliance.
Tue result of the investigation by the
grand jury began to be apparent yester-
day afternoon.
Late in the day formal accusation
was filed by the grand jury in depart
ment one of the superior court against
w. H. Bnehler, citing him to appear be-
fore the court and show cause why he
should not be removed from his Office
as a member of the city board OF educa-
ton, for willful and corrupt misconduct
in office.
Notice of the accusation was served
ON Mr.. Buehler, much to his seeming
surprise.
The accusation against Mr.. Buehler
has reference to his alleged appropria-
ton OF school property, in the way OF
nails and other materials, Tor his own
use.
The examination of the charges by
the court will, it is expected. result in
some disclosures that will prove highly
interesting,

HE Is A HUMAN GHOUL.
A SCOUNDREL WHO PREYS ON
YOUNG GIRLS.
Many Church Ladies' who Insist on n
Full Inquiry Into tho Alleged
Facts Back of the Platt
Case.

The federal grand jury yesterday re-
turned another indictment against O.
d. Platt and ex-Chief OF Police Harris.
They are charged this time with. I'M
lawfully conspiring and confederating
together to commit an offense against
the United States through misuse OF
thu postofflce by devising a scheme to
defraud L. E. Crandsll of 500. Both
cases were called for arraignment yester-
day, and the parties will enter their
pleas on Tuesday. Every step OF the
proceedings will be closely watched by
the police.
Several ladies who are prominent in
church work in this city and who are
deeply interested in the cause OF social
purity, called at the HERALD Office
yesterday. "We are glad that steps are
being taken to bring these scoundrels to
book who have been preying on
young girls. In our work among
the fallen and unfortunate we have
found traces of the Shiny trail OF the
seducer. We have been cognizant par
ticulerly of the misdeeds OF the we'll
known man who was spoken OF in the
HERALD OF Thursday, and We believe
that the time has come to bring such
scoundrels to justice. He has been
known to accost unprotected females on
the streets after nightfall, and has been
regarded as a sort of ghoul, willing to
sacrifice everything to satisfy his lust.
The deduction of two girls in public
Office much freouented by young women
would cause bloodshed ii the fact were
discovered by their relatives, and such
men should be rendered powerless to
accomplish their hellsh ends. The fact
that the man is polished and we'll
dressed and mingles prominently in
social and business affairs only makes
him more insidiouely dangerous. just
fancy how this mans wife. who is a
respectable, God-fearing woman, would
feel If she knew of her husbands gross
iniouity
HE has accomplished the ruin OF a
we'll known married woman" said
another lady of the party, land it ia
high time that social purity society
was organized among the churches OF
Los Angeles to put this man, and others
of his ilk behind the prison bars. The
church that this man attends should
drive him out, and the court that will
make this mans iniquity bare to the
world will receive the prayers of all
Christian women. This man is even
more culpable Than Breckenridge, be-
cause he masks his wickedness behind a
brazsn front of hypocrisy. We have
nothing to say about the Plstt and Har-
rs case now, bat ii it be true that pso.
pie in high places have been guilty oil
grave offences they should be punished.
We want to make plea to the relatives
of all girls in public offices to help US in
bringing this seducer to justice. 1t is
their interest to do 30, for they know
not when their own daughters and sis
tiers may fall victim to this scoundrel'e
wilee."

DANGERS OF DRESS.

How Men aad Women Run Great Risks
During the Summer in the Way They
Are Cloth d.
Few people think at this time of the year OF
the great importa ncs Of dress.
In the winter people dress warmly because
they know it is a necessity, but in the sum-
mer, when 1t is hot, they go to TIL other ex-
IRENE and even dress too lightly. Hot weather
causes people to use light cothing; but sud
denly the wind changes, the air bscom
chilly, and cold is pretty certain to bs the
result.
Now, where most people make a mistake is
in not guarding against these sudden changes
quickly and i'll time. Any man or woman who
la on II light suit OF clothing, aud feels
chance which brings chill, should at once
coun teraet the chill. This can only oe done
by the use of some pure stimulant, not gingers
or hot drinks, but pure medicinal viii key
that will refre' h the system, cause the blood TO
circulate, and bring about imm ediate Reaction.
There is but one medicinal wniskey that will
do this, and that is Duffy's Pure Malt. 1t has
for twenty years accom- plished what has lever
been known before III counter citing the first
symptoms OF sudden colds and prev, ing The
pos sib1lity OF pneumonia, fever aud all the
dstress ng complaints which foliew any co d.
tilt should be rememb sred, however, that
Dufy's Pure Malt is the only whiskey which
will cert ,inly accom- plish this, and however
much dea er may ak to the contrary, 1T alone
snOu d be taken.

TALKING 1T OVER.


Tho Police Com nissiOners Informally
Talk Ovsr Important Matters.
The police commissioners held spe-
cial and rather informal meeting yester-
day afternoon in the mayors Office, at
which various matters were discussed,
principally those matters pertaining to
the recent action in regard to the revok-
ing OF saloon licenses. They also talked
over the charges being made against
Police Officer Mertz on account of the
arrest OF the wrong young lady, the par
ticulars of which have already been
published in the HERALD.
The meeting was strictly private, all
reporters and outsiders being excluded.
No action of any kind was taken in re-
gard to either matter, and they will
probably form the subject for other
meetings OF the commission in the near
future. Police Captain Roberts and
Sergeants Jeffries, Morton and Smith
were called before the board to give
evidence during the meeting, and Chief
Glass WAS also present.
