AL GOLFERS SENTENCE.
Judge Mckinley Sentences Him to Fiv,
Years at San Quentin.

Judge Mckinley sentsnoss Him to Five
Years at San Quentin.
Judge Mckinley had a disagreeable
duty to perform yesterday in sentenc.
ing of ex-Deputy Assessor AL Cobler,
who was convicted few days ago OF the
embszzlement OF county funds whic n
had been collected by him on account oil
personal property taxes.
His counsel did what they could to
delay the fatal passing OF sentence by a
motion in arreat Of judgment which was
faithfully presented, but overruled, and
motion for O new trial, which was de-
MED.
The fragile point upon which they
hung their plea was that Cobler had not
been properly sworn in as deputy and
could not technically be held RESPONSE
BILE. But the court held that he was a
de facto officer at any rate and that the
county could not be permitted to suffer
by such technically.
A plea for mercy was made to the
court in which the previous good record
and reputation 0! the defendant was re-
ferred to and the terrible blow his con-
viction was to his family.
Az lSEt OODleT WEB tolu 70 sIhu0 up
and Judge Mckinley spoke concerning
the plea in extenuation. He said that
under the facts ths jury could not have
done otherwise than convict the defend
ant. He felt more sympathy for them
than he did for the defendant, who
had been untrue to his official trust.
1t would not DO right to extenuate his
offense, which would cast discredit upon
justice and open the doors to corruption
in Office. He therefore felt it his duty
to sentence him to five years impriaon.
ment at San Quentin.
Cobler was very much affected at his
steuence and was visibly broken down
during the plea made for him by bis
counsel.
The question of the dismissal Of the
remaining batch OF indictments against
Cobler WIS brought up and the court
took the matter under advisement.

and sweet stage manners finger In the
memory Of the play-goer long after the
curtain has fallen. Had she held aloof
from Irving and stood more upon her
own power, instead of conssnting to be-
come reflected light, it is hard to say
what her standing might have been in
Fsme's enduring temple. Nine Amer
lean critics out of ten pronounce her the
great feature of the Irving performances
and accord to Irving nothing beyond the
name ola marvellous stage manager.
Certainly no one ever saw Irving pre-
sent any such creation as Forests Lear,
Booths Hamlet, Sheridan's Louis NJ or
Barrett's Cassius. Indeed, it is a great
doubt if he could rival Warde's Virgin
ius or Louis James Brutus.
Still it is wonderful coincidence, as
remarked by the Edinburgh paper, that
out OF the four leading stars of London
dramatic season, America should be the
only English speaking nation to furnish
even one. Has the genius of Sara Sid
dons scared sloft to the heaven that
gave it birth?

matter than recording an individual
NO." and very audible one at that,
when the question was put to the vote.
Candidly, we do not think that Mr..
Patton's part in forcing Congressman
Cannon on the party will help him
either before the convention, or, should
he be nominated, before the people OF
this district. There are some things that
cannot well be forgiven, and Cannon is
certainly that kind of q thing.
In addition, Mr.. Patton, in his letter
elsewhere, indulgss in the same lively
kind OF abuse OF Democrats who are as
good as himself, by Implication. as he did
in the speech in which he forced the
nomination of Cannon on the adjourned
Democratic convention. He Is already
prepared to denounce every one who
differs with him, as tool OF the South
ern Pacific railway. He is openly and
virulently opposed to Santa Monica as
q site for a deep sea harbor for Los An
gelee. He has been 80 emphatic in this
attitude that it is safe to say that his
nomination would lose the Democracy at
least three thousand votes in the con-
gressional contest. 1t is absurd
to say that the large population
between Loa Angeles aud Santa
Monica would vote against their
own interests. He has stood beside
Mr.. Richard Ksrens. Of the Terminal
railway, and one OF the most charming
members of the Star route crowd, and
spoken for San Pedro ard nothing else.
He will be, If nominated, distinctively
the nominee OF that interest, and as
such will fail to poll tbs full Democratic
vote. When it comes down to trial, it
Is doubtful whether the candidate who
stands on the same platform as ex.
Secretary OF War Samuel B. Elkins and
his partners Kerens and Mitchell would
prove very strong before the Democracy
Of Southern California.

AN UNFORTUNATE GIRL.
Driven From Home She Finds Refuge in
the Florence Home.

Driven From Home She Finds Refuge in
| the Florence Home.
An evening paper attempted last night
to show how young girl named Leons
Hoyt-not Holt-had been lured from
her home at the instance OF Mrs. Hart
ley of the Womsn's exchange, on Fourth
| street, and from such causes was lying
at Deaths door.
The fact of the matter is that while
the girl is i'll at ths Florence home. abe
has never been snticed from her former
home, nor was she ever permitted to be
in places of disreputabls character.
Leona says she came to this city from
Chicago, almost driven from home by a
dissolute mother and brutal father.
She went to her grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Hunter, 1929 West Twelfth
street. Not being OF an age to earn q
livelihood, her grandparents gave her q
living. But through come cause abe left
home on June 4, and applied for situa-
ton ct the bureau conducted by the
Woman's exchange, very good place
for homeless girls.
She told Mrs. Hartley, manager OF the
OuiSHAb efSs hSi 1870 49,
treated her and exhibited marks upon
her body to prove the assertion.
Mrs. Cogill. the missionary, took
charge of the girl. She found that she
WAS i'll and needed physicians care,
but for no other cause than that OF i'll
neso brought on by UNIV holesome food
or colds or similar ilments. Mrs. Cogill
sent the girl at once to the Florence
home on June 4. where she has been
ever since. Mrs. Hartley did not
know of Mrs. Cogills Intentions, nor
has she seen the girl but once since che
went to the home. The ladies were
certainly looking to the best interests of
the young girl by putting her in the
home.
Mrs. Hartley refused to tell where the
girl was. The Hunters evidently in
tend to bring the matter into the courts,
for yesterday they reported 1t to District
Attorney Dillon, who interviewed Mrs.
Hartley as to her connection with the
CHeo.

noon. The woman gave the man g
horsewhipping in the presence of about
25 persons.
The man in the case is said to be
named Lewis. The demi-mondaine is
Lillian Russell. q very handsome woman
who stays in an Alameda-street resort.
1t appears that the woman's 15.year.
old sister. who by the way is as pretty
as she is young. was induced to leave her
home in Santa Ana and come to this
city.
Finding that her sister was here. the
Russell woman started out to find her
and save her from the wiles OF men like
those who were matrimonial In her
own downfall. She found her young
sister. as che asserts, in the company
of Lewis. The demi- mondaine jumped
from her cab, and, grabbing the whip
from the hackman's hands, dashed Lewis
in very severe manner.
He attempted to save himself from
chastisement by q hurried explanation,
which only made the woman more furi-
GUS. She lanhed him until bystanders
took the whip from her.
Lewis made off as quickly as possible,
when Lille took her sister and, driving
to the train, cav her safely at homo
again. The woman returned to the city
yesterday, and ia not inclined to let the
matter drop,

MR. PATTON AND The DEMOCRATIC CON.
GREsSiONAL NOMINATION.

AS will be seen from q correspondence
elsewhere, number of distinguished
Democrats of Los Angeles county have
invited Mr.. George S. Patton to be the
Democratic candidate for congress in the
Sixth district OF California. The writer
WAS delegate to the Santa Barbara
convention which nominated the awful
Cannon to congress- after adjournment
to Los Angeles, and he most earnestly
adjured George to be Democratic can
didate, and he did so with the perfect
conviction that the young statesman
of the San Gabriel would be elected.
No energy of eutreaty was effectual,
however, end the diatrict Was disgraced
as it had never been before. 1t is
Shakespeare who intimstes, in effect,
that there is q tide in the affairs of men
which, taken at the flood, leads on to
fortune or to fame, or words to that
effect.
We are really afraid that Mr.. Patton
missed that tide. He might have saved
us from the lsnomny of Cannon.
Whether be will receive the Democratic
nomination now, and whether, if he re.
ceives it, he will be elected, are in our
judgment inscrutable propositions. He

the beat judgment OF the convention and
OF the district, proposed and carried
through Mr.. Cannon's nomination. He
denounced opposition to Cannon as sub.
