the idle mills and factories and put

of promoting general prosperity
is to throw open the miEts to the

trust to luck that these few will
scatter their money with a lavish

CHURCH RESTORATION
The Work Done on Christ Church Briefly
Described

The Work Done on Christ Church Briefly
Described
Los Angeles now has the most beautiful
church in Southern California, owing to
the exertions of the rector of Christ
church. the Rev. Alfred S. Clark, ably Sec
onded by the wardens and vestrymen and
the members of this parish. The seating
capacity has been increased to nearly
double it's former area, the chancel has
been handsomely frescoed and the interior
decorated in churchly style. New stained
glass windows have been put in and the
entire auditorium covered with brussels
carpet.
The font of the church is entirely new,
in the middle style of Gothic architecture,
and il an adornment to the northeast cor
ner of Flower and Pico streets. The total
cost of the restoration and enlargement is
about $4,000, which has been paid. This
church holds no fairs, festivals or other
modes of raising money, but is quite de-
pendant upon voluntary contributions.
1t is the only church in Southern Cali
fornia not in debt on account of diocesan
assessments, or for it's parish work. There
have been of late large accessions to its
commuriicant list, which now numbers
800. Five societies connected with the
church are actively at work. All the seats
in the church are free.
The church will be reopened on Sunday
next, February 9th, ana the music will be
rendered by the splendidly trained vested
choir under the direction of the chcir-
master, William Stephens, and the accom-
plished organist, Kirke Matthews.

New Park Commission May Be Named and
Meserve nay Agsin Shy His Castor
Into the Ring

Edwin A. Meserve, the pugnacious broth
er of the superintendent of parks, is at
present out of the city, having been on
Wednesday evening called hurriedly to
San Francisco. This statement is important
in the following brief but pointed commu-
nication filed yesterday morning with the
mayor and signed by the superintendent
of parks, Elmer +. Meserve.
ITO the Honorable Board of Park Com
missioners:
81 herewith present you my resignation
as park superintendent. to take effect The
first day OF March, 1896"
The above was the result of a short ex-
ecutive session of the board of park COM
missioDers, held behind closed doors in the
mayors inner Office in advance of the reg
ular meeting called to order for the bene-
fit of the public few minutes later.
The mayor had left q sickhed to be on
band, and every o'her member of the
board was in attendance. 1t WAS decided
at the secret meeting to summarily decapi-
tate Meserve, as has been outlined several
times in these columns would be done if
the superintendent persisted in hanging on
to his position. The latter was, before the
public meeting was called to order, in
formed of the facts as they existed. and as
a consequence, being cOrnered, as he says,
he handed in his written resignation, as
published above, to take effect on
March l.
In yesterdays open meeting of the park
board the mayor. as soon as he could reach
the matter, announced in a somewhat
tremulous tone of voice that the resigna-
ton of the park superintendent WAS i'll his
hands and he wanted to know the pleasure
of his colleagues.
Captain Cross, who is always equal to
the occasion, promptly moved that it he
accepted, and the motion, after having
been formally seconded, was put. The
vote resulted in three ayes and no noes,
commissioners Cross, Workman and Post
voting in the affirmative and the mayor
and Commissioner Matthew Teed refrain
ing from expressing themselves in the mat
ter. The ballot taken was viva voce.
Superintendent Meserve was seen after
the meeting had adjourned and said:

ers have handed them my resignation, ia

for resigning, and the board did not offer
me any reason why should do 80, but of

be thoroughly examined. ] also requested
that. as q board, they investigate my work
in the parks, but majority again ruled, and
they would not.

Circumstances-Court News

VI Attorney A. c. Broderson told the jury
in department five yesterday morning
what his relations were with Julia Weiss,
the woman whom it is alleged he raped
and who committed suicide.
The attorney and defendant gave a re-
tcital which is substantially the same as
has been previously told in the story of
the case. The woman came to his Office
in response 10 a postal card he sent her to
see about paying So doctor BILL She had
said she was poor and could not pay it,
whereupon he suggested to her that she
permit him to become intimate with her
and he would cancel the obligation. This
she did after all the people had left his
office.
But Broderson claims that instead of
taking the bill against Mrs. Weiss out o!
the stand in which he kept unpaid claims
1t was left there and was presented again
to Mrs. Weiss for collection. This, he
says. made her mad, and the result was
she started out on a campaign of re-
yenge.
The story was told by Broderson in the
presence of his mother and sister. and it
did not have very good effect on the july.
A number of other witnesses were exam.
sen. a midwife, swore that she had, at the
instigation of Lena Weiss, gone 10 Broder-
son TO obtain money with which to pay the
funeral expenses eff the sister, but Mrs.
Claussen denied absolutely that she had
attempted to influence Lena Weiss tes,i-
.mony in behalf of Broderson.
/, The greater portion of the testimony at
the afternoon session was given by char
acter witnesses, who told what they knew
derogatory of Mrs. Claussen and the de-
'fendant.
Constable Harry Johnston got little
warmed up in testifying as to what he
knew of Mrs. Clau sen. lie admitted that
he had gone to her and told her that size
had better stay out of the Broderson case,
and that she had better not indulge in any
blackmail
''Why did you think she would periure
herself in giving testimony" asked Attor-
ney Ben Goodrich. "You assumed ttat
che would, did you, and just wanted to
keep her out of trouble, did you?'
's'Yes. sir,'' answered the constable.
Mr.. Goodrich wanted to show that the
constable had attempted to BULLDOGS the
witness and he succeeded.
Today The final testimony will be put
and the case will go to the jury for de-
cision.

HON. FRANK D. LEWIS FEE
The Indian Land Association
Hired Several. Lawyers
WAS LEWIS ONE OF THEM?
The President Of the Association Says
Positively That lie Was
When he Was the Government Attorney for
the flIssion Indians Appointed to
Protect Their Rights

Frank d. Lewis has asserted that he
took Rogerio Rocha's quit claim deed to
his lands in the San Fernando valley for
the purpose of protecting the Indians
rights from 'rapacious, land-grabbing
schemers." This being the case the fol-
lowing information, which has been fur
nished The HERALD by the president of
an association known as the Indian Lands
association. is of interest:
"Brank ID. Lewis, government attorney
for the Mission Indians. was also attorney
for the Indian Land association. He had
both these interests to care for in his pro-
fessional capacity az one and the same
time.
"The Indian Land association was an or
ganization perfected in this city, and it had
quite membership. 1t was regularly Or
ganized and had its president, secretary,
etc.
The object Of the association was to OBJ.
tain the interest some cf the Indians
here in Southern California possessed to
lands in which the wards of the nation
were interested, to press litigation to per-
feet whatever title the Indians had and to
secure possession of the land under the
perfected title.
''The title of a number of Mission In.
dans to lands in the San Fernando valley
and elsewhere was looked up. The SER
vices of several attorneys were engaged,
preparatory to making fight to overturn
Some of the fraudulent titles under which
lands we're being held, including among
others the land Of Rogerio Rocha.
1.-The association decided that it would
be good idea to employ Frank d. Lewis,
along with other attorneys, and did so.
Mr.. Lewis could make request to the
commissioner of Indian affairs for assist
ant counsel to push cases involving Indian
land titles, and could in other ways help
out the objects of the association. For
this reason he was engaged.
"The president of the association claims
in writing over his own signature that
Frank ID. Lewis received from him over
$500 for acting as their attorney.
1.-The president of the association fur.
tier says that they had q fall out with
Frank d. Lewis. He says that one fine
day Frank went out to San Fernando and
got quit-claim deed to Rogerio Rocha's
land. which lie put on record. and that he
did sundry other things which led the asso-
citation to drop him from the list of attor-
neys. Mr.. Lewis. the president of the
association writes, wanted more coin.
and as his valuable services had
failed to appear, as regards results it was
thought best to cut Mr.. Lewis off. Then
too, the association was not enamored of
the idea of Mr.. Lewis getting Rogerio
Rocha's quit claim deed and putting it on
record.
"Now, Mr.. Lewis was q government at
torney for the Indiana and was appointed
they were not robbed of any benefits they
were entitled to. His $500 fee from the

follows, addressing the communication to
the editor:
'.In your edition of the 5th inst. appears
further communication on the Rogerio
hocha matter. 1t. as some of the other
articles. has some incorrect information on
the subject. The assertion that the agent
promu!gating the original statements came
TO California that papers in a libel suit
might be served on him is not only news to
me, but is little raw If he came for
tnat purpose, he carefully concealed it and
never sent me his card or any notice of his
presence.
1.-The Indian commissioners who were
mislead as to the facts. subsequently wrote
me stating that in their next reports thew
would correct the error, and that their
original circular conveyed very wrong
impression, and that the object of the cir
cu!ar was not to impute fraud or wrong to
individuals in particular case and that
they would withdraw the circular.
"This ended .he matter and there was no
cause for a libel suit.
1t seems now that the allegations that
Rogerio has a title, etc, are all abandoned
and new deal is asked that, to say the
least, is novel and peculiar, but it does not
possess the earmarks of justice, although
some unknown person has assumed that
name as disguise.
But in answer to said "Justice," if he
wants justice all round, | would say that it
Is bedrock principle of Justice ''that he
who seeks equity must first do equity, and
that he must come into court with clean
hands" Under this said ''Justice'' must
first disclose his real name as an offset to
my real name being before the public,
In my experience in business | have
never referred to my moral or Christian
character as q basis for any benefit to nv
self. and find that all such persons who
either use it as means of inducement, or
attack, or as shield, are more or less un-
scrupulous, and do it as cloak for a weak
cause. And l classify ''Justice's'' attack
on that line under the same head, especially
as he skulks under a fictitious name. He
must. If he desires further notice now, put
out lis real name and let the community
weigh his Christian character. For Justice
denies him the right to attack me and he
remain in concealment.
Before giving a final answer tosJustice,''
as he must first do justice if he claims jus.
tice, require him to answer the follow-
ing preliminary questions:
First--That he give his true name.
Second-Do you now claim that Rogerio
Rpcha has title to any lands.
Third-Or do you claim that he ever had
title and lost it?
Fourth-lf you claim that he ever had
title, then was it under the De Cells grant?
II so, print the clause from the grant. If
not under that grant, then name the grant.
and state whether it was ever presented to
the board of land commissioners for an.
proval and what final action was had upon
II.
