THE INACCURATE EXPRESS

Reports
Wednesday afternoon the Evening Ex-
press published an alleged story of five
persons being found destitute ami upon
the verge of starvation. This was false
statement and The Herald said so yester-
day morning. The wcmen came to the
police station and denied the allegations
in the Express, and this also was given
by The Herald.
Last evening the Express acknowledge ed
that its original statements had been un-
true and that the police reporter who
wrote the story had been badly imposed
upon. This is the confession in the even.
ing paper
at appears that the women, Mrs. II.
Perry and Mrs. Mamie Music, reported
by Il small boy TO the police to be starv
ing yesterday. are nothing but pair of
frail imposters. Last evening the pair,
deliberately arrayed, drove up in front of
the police station in a pretentlous rig to
explain about the loss of rings mentioned
yesterday. They claimed that Sim Jones.
alias Dunbam, alias Avery, who has been
living with them, had purloined the
rings. Later the women came to the sta
ton again and denied the starvation
story. Otiicei Richardson made further
Investigation that convinced HIM that the
women are OF very questi enable charac-

Smarting under the knowledge that an
other one of its daily inaccuracies had
been called to notice, the Express re-
porter sought to divert attention from his
mistake by an idlotic and irrelevant ref
erence to The Herald's representative.

the Express hugged d chair less and went
after the facts more there would be less

HIT WITH A RUBBER HOSE
James Carpenter Gets the Worst OF an
Alteration
lie Wanted a Drink, but the Proprietor
Would Not Give 1t to Hin,-Car.
p.nter Arrested

James Carpenter, saddler by trade,
was arrested by Detective Hawley yester-
day on warrant charging him with ma
lcious mischief. The complaining wit
ness is German, and one of the pro-
prietors of the Sunrise saloon at the cor
ner of Los Angeles and First streets. Ac-
cording TO him Carpenter entered the
place yesterday and called for drink.
The saddler's name was in big figures on
the slate though, so the man behind the
bar refused to serve the thirsty Carpenter
unless he showed the color of his dime.
This Carpents- refused to do, and after
some wrangling with the proprietor the
latter encjrcled his arms about a row OF
glasses and dashed them upon the floor.
and in the scufie tnat followed thirteen
were broken.
1t was but natural for the ire of the
German 60 become aroused in case of
this nature, SO he looked around for some
weapon with which to wreak sum mary
retaliation upon the person tf the wanton
Carpenter. The bung-starter was nowhere
to be found and the only article available
was the piece of heavy rubber hose at
tached to the water faucet. In AL in slant
the hose was detached, and in the hands
of the German became most formidable
weapon. He belabored the shoulders and
neck of Carpenter until the latter howled
for mercy, and like a sensible man re-
treated from the fray.
Carpenter went to the police station
and reported that during the scutfle he
had dropped his bag Of tools. and they
had been seized and retained b. the pro-
prietor of the saloon. Detective Hawley
visited the Sdnrise and informed the man
that he would have to give up CARPENTER 5
tools. This he refused to do. The officer
then returned 10 Deputy District Attor-
ney James to report the matter. The
latter directed one of the other proprietors
to hand over the tools to Carpenter. This
was done, but the complaint was sworn
out against Carpenter.

4 VERY NAUGHTY DON JUAN
Owen Orr Is the Man Alleged
to Be Such

of Hancock Banning e. Co., 222 South
Spring street. it is alleged, has been IN
dulging in certain practices OF Don
Juan nature that bid fair to land him
where such things are strictly excluded.
Some two years ago, so the story goes,
Orr was a steady diner at the Corfu hotel
on South Spring street. While engaged
in the occupation OF satisfying mis- inner
man he met charming little waiter girl,
Miss Hattie +. Holbon. who listened to
the tale of love he professed for her. and
at last consented to become his wife.
Orr, it is said, is well connected. and
after the marriage, she claims, persuaded
the young girl to keep the union secret
for time at least promising to make
matters right as soon as he could afford
to support her. Blinded by love,
Hattie concluded to yield to his impor-
tunity. and SO the matter rested. The
pair, she says, were welded IN May.

certain of the authenticity of the cere-
nony. and has placed the matter in the
hands of an attorney for investigation.

pal minister. No license was obtained at

ployment. The husband was still desr-

Six months ago q cloud began to OBJ

found to her dismay that the man to
whom she had given body and soul was
trying to deceive her in various ways.
Several other women began to figure

and his long-suffering wife concluded to
have a settlement with him. A short
quarrel was the result and the present
trouble is the outcome OF it.
Orr now denies all knowledge of the

HE MAKES IT OFFICIAL
Police Commissioner Webber Files His
Resignation
The Paper Takes Effect the First Of August
and There Will Be No Recon.

The expected has happened, just as The
Herald stated three weeks ago. that it
would. Police Commissioner John Web
Der late yesterday afternoon filed with the
city clerk the following:
To the Honorable City Council OF Los
Angeles:
Gentlemen:-I hereby tender my resig-
nation as police commmissioners to tai
effect August 1. 1895.
the above will be acted on off cially on
Monday and the resignation will be ac'
cepted because Com missioner Webber will
not reconsider under any circumstances.
He resigns, he says, for purely private
reasons, simply because his business
will not permit him to give to the posi-
tion the necessary time and attention.
Commissioner Webber asked The Herald
reporter to state for him that his rela-
tions with his colleagues and with the
mayor have always been OF the pleasant
est. He is one of the two Democrats on
the board and his successor will be mem
ber of the same party, that being one of
the provisions of the charter. The coun-
Gil will make the appointment and the
mayor will be consulted before the va
