WlRNER MILLETS NAME NOT USED
IT DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE LIST OF INCoR-
PORAToRs OF THE NEW POLITICAL CLUB.
SAYS MR.. MILHOLLAND.

John = Milholland returned from Albany yester-
day and said, regarding the allegations that ex-
Senator Warner Miller's name had been attached
without authority to certain articles OK incorpora-
ton for political club: There Is not one word OF
truth in that statement Mr.. Mler's name has
never been forged. nor does 1t appear among the
list Of incorporators; and what is more. do not
believe that Mr.. Miller ever authorized any one
his behrf to make such a statement He did,
however. enough to me that under ordinary
circumstances would have warranted the placing
of his name on the list among friends Of the pro-
ject but cid not do so did any one else. AS
is we'll known. Mr. Miller has been one Of the most
active workers from the beginning and there Is
not the slightest reason to believe that there Is
anything in his recent course which would justify
the present hilarity Of the machine forces"
What about the incorporation OF Otto Irving
Wises State Club?"
Nothing. except that 1t affords an illustration
Of the threefor- quarter politics that has char
acterlzed the opposition to the Republican party
In the State Of New-York. Mr. Wise got his clerks
and office boys together and formed an organiza-
ton under name such as he thought was about
to be used. In this however. he was entirely mis-
taken We lad intended to use any such

MAY BE READvERTISED
Sites for the Proposed New Central
Police Station
to Put In . Bid-Where Is
the City At?

Offers for sites for the proposed GEN.
tral police station were yesterday filed
with the city clerk as follows:
By Finucane 4 Marie. lot on Will
mington street, near First, s5x17s feet,
containing 10, 1870 square feet. The price
asked is $12. 500.
Also by G. A. Sumner & Co., lot on
South Olive street between Fourth and
Fifth streets, 12Ox165 feet, containing 20.-
AGO square feet. The price asked is
$l0o per front foot or $4,000.
The land committee of the council has
not yet met and nothing will be done in
the matter of purchasing the prison site
for some time to come. EThere is even a
slight pros pect that the election for
bonds W ith which to secure the money
for site may have to be held all over
again as there is an opinion in some
parts Of the city hall that the last election
for the purpose was not legal
During the absence OF City Attorney
Dunn in the east, he is to secure the best
legal opinion obtainable as to whether
under the statutes OF this state, several
bonding propositions can be punched
and voted tor on one day. Assistant City
Attorney Crutcher is certain that such
course of procedure is perfectly legal and
proper and Mr.. Crutcher's chief is of the
same opinion. Yet for all that the doubt
is such that if assurance upon the
subject is not too expensive, it will be
obtained by the council.
The city attorney may before he re-
turns to Los Angeles go from New Yorl,
city to Boston. where the regal repre-.
sentatives of street. Wykes e. Co. reside.
The situation in a nutshell regarding all
of the various bond issues recently voted
is that the school bonds are safe beyond
any shadow of doubt. The fate of all OF
the other bonds will be more or less prob
lematical until the city attorney wires
the result of his mission.
Even should the refunding bonds be
found to be all right. there is strong
probability that the city Jail sites will be
readvertised for, as there have been nu-
merous complaints from bidders that
they did not have a fair time in which to
present and file their bids.

love and begging you not to take your
hands from the plowshare. l remain,

The second letter is addressed to Ma
Meyberg. dircctor-gcneral. La Fiesta de

Dear Sir: Having seem the excellent
statement made by the Fiesta committee
concerning the finances OF our late and
most succe sful Fiesta. and noting that

though the same is amply covered by
