AFTER THE INVESTOR.

An Eastern Concern Anxious Not to Be
Confused with 1t.
A decision of some interest to the law
abiding, decent people OF Los Angeles
was rendered few days ago by Judge
Phillips of the United States court at
Kansas City.
The suit was brought by the publish
ers of the United States Investor against
parties in Kansas City for infringement
OF their corporate name. The publish
ers of the United States Investor have
acquired a high and honorable reputa-
ton as gentlemen and financial authori-
ties about whom no malodorous allega-
tions can be made.
Subsequent to the establishment of
the above company, two companies, one
in Kansas City and the other in Los An
geles. began business under the name OF
the Investor Publishing company. and
steps were at once taken by the original
company to guard against infringement
of its name. The decision of Judge
Phillips perpetually enjoins the Kansas
City concern from using the title OF the
Investor Publishing company, and after
considering all of the peculiar circum-
stances the publishers of the United
States Investors are anxious that the in
fringement on their name by the Los
Angeles Investor should be checked at
once: and they say they will imme-
diately bring suit to that purpose.

BOARDOF PUBLIC WORKS
PARK LANE MATTER WILL BE
ABANDONED.
The Trsck-isying Episode ON Alameda
Street IL sifted to satisfac-
tory Conolusion-santa Flo on
Its Own Property.

The board of public works tackled the
Park Lane alley proposition yesterday,
and there was a large attendance OF citi-
zsns of the Fourth ward, who are inter
estsd.
The proposed alley extends fro m Sew
enth to Eighth streets, and Mrs. Eliza
Wilson has bought the block on Seventh
street, that would be divided by the
alley. She has erected house on the
line of the alley and naturally wants
good round Gum in damages II the alley
is opened. The property owners on the
alley proposed had nearly all signed Tor
the opening on the ground that 1t would
not cost them anything in the way OF
damages. Now that they hsve learned
that they will have to pay damages they
do not want the alley opened. AS q
consequence, out OF 100 feet OF frontage
800 feet ia now protesting against the
alley. The protesting parties were
represented by Colonel Hotchkiss, and
the petitioners were championed by At
torney Burdett, and both OF these gem
tlemen cut loose the gates CT oratory.
The board took the matter under adj
vlsement, and it ie very probable that
under the circumstances they will de-
eide to abandon the proceedings Tor the
opening of the alley.
The next matter of Importance that
came before the board was the laying OF
tracks by the Santa Fe Railway COM
psny from their line 20 that of the South
ern Pacific company at Alameda street,
near the Athletic park grounds. At the
last meeting of the council motion was
made that the superintendent OF streets
be directed to tear up the tracks but the
council finally concluded to go slow on
the matter aud referred it to the board
OF public works. Claim Agent A. P.
Maginuis OF the Santa Fe road appeared
and explained that the company had
bought the right OF way for the line from
private property owners, and hence were
simply utilizing their own property. At
the junction of Mateo and Palmetto
streets, however. there WAS small piece
of city street which the company was
perfectly willing to pay for if the council
would advertise the franchise. The
members of the board paid a visit to the
track location and found the facts to be
as stated, and they will recommend that
the franchise for the street crossing be
advertised for sale.
A number of minor matters were acted
on and the board adjourned.

in all America with q cleaner record

like Texas would demand the presence

Much of his strength, however. lies
among the Populist classes, and as they
have been barred from the primaries
this year, under rule adopted by the
Democratic state central committee. Mr..

thereby perceptibly decreased. All the

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-The Exam
iner's Washington correspondent sends
his paper The following: 1t is aacer-
tanned tonight that the German minis
ter today notified our government that
il the one-tenth of a cent pound dis.
eliminating duty, which has been placed
by the senate on sugar, is permitted to
become law. Germany will place re-
taliatory duty on pork, lard and other
food products now imported from the
United States under the reciprocity ar
rangement.
In view OF this notification, Secretary
Carlisle has addressed a communication
to the senate finance committee, urging
the elimination of this provision from
the senate bill, which operates against
any government allowing bounty on
refined sugar. lnasmuch as Germany
is the only competitor of the American
sugar trust. this discriminating duty is
leveled practically against that coun-
try. Should the senate comply with
Secretary Carliele's recommendation
and strike out the ons-tenth of cent
provision, the sugar trust will receive q

Lieutenant Alderman Tells what He
Knows A bout Them.


WASHINGTON, June 8.-Lieut. Robert
Alderman Of the navy was heard today
by the house committee on armor plate
frauds. He was one OF the naval board
which Investigated the first charges OF
fraud. His evidence covered in detail
the irregularities in treating specific
armor plates. He had heard that Super
intendent Schwab aud other officials and
employees bad had an interest in the
Carnegie company, and had there
fore motive in passing plates not no to
the standard. He told of the manner in
which his suspicious had been excited
as to the irregularities of the work. He
found that certain lines OF work would
be stopped when he entered ship. One
OF the superintendents, Mr.. XIV Inc, had
misled him on various details Of tie
work.
His own experiments and the affida-
Wits OF informers had zorro borated his
Suspicion, and he had assessed damages
against the company as result OF his
own knowledge and suspicious. Acker-
man told OF the investigation Of the sec
ond. or supplemental charges. This tes-
timony developed new branch of irreg-
ularity as to the manipulation OF test
ing machine used by the Carnegie COM
pany. The machine was operated 80 as
to give false figures. Disclosures were
also made az to serious defects in two
plates OF the Monterey and one in the
Machiss. Lieutenant Alderman said
blow-holes were a positive defect and
could be avoided. In this opinion his
statement differed from that OF other
naval officers. The witness described
the serious blow-hole in the 1S-inch
armor of the Monterey. A wire four
feet long had been inserted in the hole.
Chairman Cummings read from the
testimony OF the second investigation
to the effect that one OF the workman
had bsen discharged at the suggestion
OF one of the government inspectors.
The committee commented on this testi-
mony, stating that it was dictated con-
fidentially Of the relations between the
Carnegie company and the naval in
spectors.
