The Times last week in very belated
fashion, resurrected the exploded story
that the London Financial News arti-
Gle, entitled the Grip of Gold, which was
published by The Herald about six weeks
ago, was a forgery. The most absolute
evidence was sometime ago produced
by the Omaha World Herald that the
article did actually appear in the Lon
don Financial News, and now the chief
clerk in the business office of the News
testifes under oath to that fact and a
certified copy of the issue in question
has been produced

1t is proposed that the business men of
the city, irrespective of party, shall take
advantage of Senator Perkins coming
visit to the city to express their appre-
citation for the honest and loyal service
which he has rendered to Southern Cal
ifornia interests in his position as SEN
ator, by rendering him reception from
the business men of Los Angeles. The
matter, if carried out, will be in the
hands of members of all the political
parties; will have no political or party
significance and The Herald heartily
favors such an expression from the busi-
ness interests of our community to an
honest man.
