Dallas, where he was very successful as a
lawyer. Becoming interested II politics
Mr.. Wellborn made the race for Congress
man from the Sixth District of Texas and
was elected in 1873 to to the Forty sixth
Congress. He was returned again by his
constituents to the Forty seventh, Forty
eighth and Forty-ninth Congresses, beat
ing his Republican opponents by over
whelming majorities. During his resi-
dence in Washington Mr.. Wellborn was
chairman of the Committee on Indian
Affairs.
When he left the capital of the nation
Mr.. Wellborn came to California. He
settled at San Diego, where he resumed
the practice of the law, and remained six
years. Here he unsuccessfully ran for
Congress against W. W. Bowers. A little
more than two years ago Mr. Wellborn
moved to Los Angeles and has lived here
since, being the senior member of the
firm of Welborn & Hutton, having offices
in the Temple Block.
Mr.. Wellborn is married man, and re-
sides with his family at 1888 Flower
street, this city. One son. Charles, who
is also married, resides at San Diego, and
like his father, is a lawyer.
Judge Wellborn's nomination was very
gratifying to his many friends and not at
all a surprise. as they stoutly maintained,
up t. the hour when the Associated Press
dispatches confirmed their words, that his
appointment was certainty. President
Cleveland S choice has been an excellent
one, according to the verdict pronounced
by all those who are acquainted with Olin

against, as the name and address of voters
and date of vote will be closely scrutin-
lied.
The vote of each candidate will be pub
lished daily in The Herald, and the COM
mittec will see that the vote as announced
is correct. This system will be open until
April list, when the committee will certify
before Notary Public to the accuracy of
the total number of votes cast for each
candidate.
The committee has been selected with
care, as the gentlemen composing it are
in no manner affiliated with The Herald
or the Fiesta committees. They have a
prestige in this community that will com
pei recognition of their verdict.
1t must be understood that this method
in no wa. subjects the Fiesta committee
to accept the popular demand. The Her
aid simply desires an expression of public
feeling in regard to the selection of the
Queen of La Fiesta, that may aid the ad-
visory board in determining who is the
preference for that position of the public
at large.
The opportunity to vote is not confined
to Los Angeles, but every city ir Southern
California will have ar opportunity to ex-
press its preference.
The Herald invites ladies as well as
make their wishes known, and any com
munication in regard to this matter must
be addressed to La Fiesta Editor, Her

Tomorrow evening the arrangement

The parade committee are somewhat
/ troubled regarding the route for the pro-
cessions. The business men insist that
all the professions should pass through
the principal streets, and that they are
entitled to all the benefits that the large
crowds will bring them.
1t is the intention of the committee,
! therefore to cover as much ground as
possible and as is consistent with the
public good. AS yet no definite line of
march has been agreed upon, but is
known that the principal parts of Broad
way, Spring and Main streets will be
selected for the procession.
The night parade that will take place
on Friday evening, will be a very marked
eature of the festival. AS has been pre-
vously announced, the floats will be
lighted with incandescent lights, the
current being obtained from the trolley
wires. In those streets where no wires
temporary ones will be put up, and the
entire parade will be sea of light. In
this manner coored lights can be pro-
provided, and the effect will be most
realistic
"a grand and magnificent arch will be
erected at the intersection of some streets
that will be massive in its proportions
and beautiful in its architectural design
Its branches will be stretched like arms to
each corner of the intersecting streets. At
night it will be brilliantly illuminated
with colored lights, principally the Fiesta
colops. The artistic committee has been
asked by Mr.. Dockweiler, the chairman of
the construction committee, to prepare
plans, conforming with the outlined pro-
gramme.
Ferd X. Rule has received an offer from
the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com
pany to publish Fiesta notices free of
charge in twenty different newspapers in
the East.
On Friday next the Southern California
committee will hold a conference with rep
resentatives from different cities in this
section to perfect arrangements regarding
the part the latter will take in the carni-
val. Two representatives from each city
will be entertained during their stay here

An exciting game of baseball was played
at Vernon on Sunday afternoon between
the Big Trees and the Foresters of Vernon.
The game resulted in a victory for the
Big Trees by score of 8 to 8, after eleven
innings. King, of the La Grande, did
some very excellent work on first base,
and Hoffman, of the Orpheum Company,
played second.
Another exciting game was played Sat
urday afternoon between the High School
and Woodbury. Business College teams.
The teams were very evenly matched and
some good playing was done, as neither
side got man to first base before the fifth
inning. The battery for the Woodburys
was Darcy, Soyar and Wilcox. The score
was II to in favor of the Woodburys.

INSURANCE AND MURDER.

The extraordinary revelations made in
connection with the case of Holmes, now
under arrest for defrauding insurance COM
panies, has called renewed attention to the
frequency with which crimes of that ma
ture have been committed in recent years.
No other man, it is true, has ever been
charged with so many murders for the
sake Of insurance money as have been al
legged with seeming proof against Holmes,
but none the less quite a number have
been as guilty as he in purpose if not SO
successful in accomplishment.
The frequency of the crimes shows the
extent of the temptation which the mod
ern life insurance system has put in the
way of upscrupulous villainy. The rascal
who plans to defraud an insurance COM
pany in this way does not at first contem-
plate murder. He generally begins by
trying to pass off the dead body of some
other individual as that OF the insured
person and thus succeed in collecting the
insurance. This plan, however, has it's
drawbacks. II is difficult to carry out, it
is easy Of detection, and, moreover, it re-
quires division of the spoils between two
parties. Murder is much simpler and
more remunerative, and sooner or later the
rascal who begins by trying to palm off
bogus bodies ends by furnishing the real
ones.
1t is evident by the increasing number
of such crimes that the punishment of one
villain does not deter others. The testi-
mony at the trial of each new offender
always discloses some defect in his meth
DDS which other rascals think they can
avoid, and consequently they enter upon
the murderous business with a spirit of
self-confdence in their ability to evade the
law. This being SO it is clearly advisable
to devise some means of making it less
easy to defraud insurance companies in
this way; for if the money could not be
obtained from the companies there would
be no inducement for the murders an the
crimes would not be committed.
The subject has given rise to consider
able discussion in the East, where the hor-
ror of the atrocities of Holmes has been
more acutely felt than here and where such
offenses have been more common. One of
The San Francisco call., 1895-08-01

the best suggestions on the subject has
been made by the New York Recorder in
proposing the enactment of law requir-
ing an autopsy to be performed within
twelve hours of the death of every insured
person, with the provision that the insur-
ance company should have a representa-
tive at the autopsy. Such law would
make detection certain in the case Of
crimes to defraud the companies, and
thereby very largely put an end to them.
A law of this kind would of course be
offensive to many people, but the offense
would be purely a sentimental one which
intelligent people might we'll submit to in
the interests of the general good. At pres
ent the whole life insurance system is a
temptation to criminals. Scarcely month
passes that we do not hear from some por
tions of the United States of the death Of
some insured person under circumstances
that are suggestive OF crime. They are not
so common on the Pacific Coast as in the
East, but they are too common every
where. They have been melted by the
conditions of the insurance business, and
it is time those conditions were changed.
The San Francisco call., 1895-08-01
duct of American schools. 1t is distinc-

duct of American schools. 1t is distinc-
lively an American idea.
The picture has another side. Where a
spirit of fairness prevails there also will be
found knavery preying upon and taking
advantage OF its confidence and generosity.
Thus the very things which distinguish
the American people for good distinguish
them also for bad, and it is the averaged
result OF this conflict of principles that
finally determines their character. And
this we know to be on the side of fairness.
Fairness Is justice pure and simple-not
the justice defined by laws and enforced by
courts. but that which gives unwritten
expression to conscience. 1t is standing
marvel to Europe that our laws are ad
mlnistered with so open laxity; that the
rascals whom we carelessly elect to Office
are not radically punished for betrayals of
sacred trust; that political "machines,"
organized for public plunder, are permitted
to name their candidates so openly and to
support them so shamelessly in their
roguery when elected, and that private
interests, without fear of molestation, may
secure the most valuable privileges by
corrupting those charged with guarding
the public good.
1t is all explainable on the ground that
there is spirit OF fairness among the
people which has innumerable ways of
manifesting itself outside the lines of writ
ten justice. That is the stay of the people.
1t is clear, however, that this safeguard
comes from material rather than temper
amental conditions; that IL is product OF
prosperity rather than of superior innate
sense of right; that it Is subject to the
mutations which may affect it's source,
therefore that it has its peculiar perils
which we can guard against only by lend
ing to it the stability of the law, and that
it is every ones highest duty to uphold
the law, which is the firmer foundation
upon which all National justice rests.
