WRITES A FEELING LETTER
tlo Says He Wants Certain Erroneous
Impressions Corrected
eat the Proper Tlms' He VIII Forward
"cheeque" To Repay His Dupes
In This City

The creditors and dupes of professor"
George FELTON,, "late of Los Angeles" will
no doubt he surprised to learn that the
gentleman is now in Berlin, where he is
''doing" the capital of the German empire.
1t was only several months ago that the
genial "Professor' left Los Angeles under
cloud. That cloud still rests over him 80
far as Los Angeles is concerned. In fact,
if you will drop up to the sheriff's Office
you will see there neatly printed circu-
lar upon which appears an excellent half
tone likeness of tine Professor" with the
added statement that the sheriff will pay
500 reward for his arrest and detention.
The "Professcr" is wanted here for forg-
cry and obtaining money under false pre-
tences. He did" the town in good shape
before he left, to the tune of about $4,000,
not to speak of the money belonging to his
wife that he spent.
AT the time of his departure full, de-
tailed account of the professor life and
transactions was given in the newspapers,
Some kind friend furnished to the ''pro-
fessor" copies of the papers. The "pro-
fessor" saw several inaccuracies in the re-
ports printed, and he writes THE HERALD
from Berlin, under date of January Oath,
asking that corrections be made.
But the most startling information con-
tanned in the letter is the "professor's''
claim that at an early day he will forward
"checque'' for the amount of money he
obtained here by fraudulent pretense and
forgery. He says he will refund to each
and every party all of the coin he secured
by his devious transactions.
There are portions of the letter that it
would not be we'll to print, inasmuch as
other parties are involved, but the dis.
tinctively "Feltonesque' paragraphs in the
epistle are interesting. T hey run like
this:
"My sudden departure from l.. A. was
due to misfortune and there were two
ways only to tall into disgrace and worst
poverty or secure sufficient money to ena-
bic me and leave California to go 10 bet

Then there was something said that
while being out with the members of the

take possession of an we'll known resort
before any of the others did.
"Of course it is very asy to slander man

As writer the ''professor" will take high
rank. His communications are frank
and open. He is very anxious
"English armee" because of his connection
with it. Emperor William will be glad to
know that the professor is still with the
"German reserve" The professor errs
about not being fired out of the Jonathan
club. If necessary he can obtain certi-
fled copy of the records which show that
he has been elected and that the $2S wine
bill has been referred to the police COM
mission with appropriate wheaeases.
About the professor floating around with
the Trilby and the Frawley companies not
much has been said. 1t has been said that
the professor" has not ''only taken charge
of an well-known resort" but it is known
that he did acquire lease for one night on
numerous occasion in several IAN we'll
known resorts The professor" was a
high-roller for awhile, but, as he says, he
saw worst poverty" ahead and "leave
Gala. to go to better land"
Nobody, not even Bob Kern, who has a
''checque" of the ''professor's'' for $50,
will deny that the professor" ''have been
in L. A. as ambitious as any man could
be-" He unquestionably directed his ef-
forts in direction that earned name for
him.

HIS FOOT AGAIN IN II
That Black-White List of the
Police Sergeants
REORGANIZATION IS OFF
Publication of the Facts Has Killed the
Scheme
1embsrs Of the Police Board Have Never Seen
the List-Poltics Which We're
aa l Behind tha Scheme

Chief of Police Glass has, for about the
fourth time during the past three months,
opened his mouth only to place his feet
therein. The chief had no sooner returned
from his jaunt through Arizona, where he
went without the knowledge or consent of
his superiors, the board of police commits
sioners as whole, than he had himself in
terviewed in his official organ for the pur
pose of denying that there was to be any
Wholesale organized attempt to reorganize
the force of which he is the head, the chief
official mouthpiece characterizing the facts
as they exist as being untrue.
In his statement for publication the chief
pretends that the grounds for the story of
the contemplated upheaval arose from the
fact that some one may have surrepti-
tiously seen a list of the standing of his
officers, made out every month during the
past year by his sergeants for the personal
information of the mayor and the men,
bers of the police board.
This statement. if the individual men,
bers of the police commission are to be
believed, is not true. Neither Commits
sioner Barhan, nor Commissioner Wirscll-
ing, nor Commissioned Long, nor yet Com
missioner Cook, have ever seen any of
these celebrated secret sergeauts' reports,
and all OF them are very much surprised
when informed that the list. blacI and
white, filed with the mayor by the chief,
about two weeks ago, was in existence.
The chief also states that his secret re-
port was made up by his sergeants, but he
did not deny that as the head of his de.
partment he is responsible for the docu-
ment as whole, good, bad and indiffer-
, ent, and the reference to his detective
force in which one man il stated to be
"overrated,' whatever that may mean.
and another as frequ entity lacking in
judgment, was made by himself, for the
upper Office men are directly under his
charge and do not recognize the authority
of his sergeallts. :
The fact is that the. publication of the de-
tails of the plot to ''reorganize" The force
has not only nipped ia the bud the at
tempted conspiracy, which has raised con-
sternation in The ranks OF the plotters, but
it has also totally demoralzed the force,
every member of'whichis certain that he
has been listed for the AK.
Some of the members of the police board
are not adverse TO expressing themselves
in the present police crisis, although they
do not care, for obvious reasons, to permit
the use of their names. Said member of
The board yesterday:
"Glass is in some respects such an inn
provement over other chiefs of police that
the city has had, that he has been fre.
quently forgiven for several cardinal sins of
commission and omission. But the chief
has been spoiled by success until it is al
that We can do to keep him under control.
The fact is, the present board is the first
one which ever compelled the chief to toe
the mark"
The general opinion is that in the con-
templated reorganization OF the police de-

A CONFESSION MADE HERE
Ventura MoIid0 Tells of the Fearful
Crime of Three indians
He Makes Confession in the Los Angeles
County Jail Giving All the tior-
ribic Details

Ventura Molido, one of the Indians ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Marsh and Felipe
Abila at the Sobo reservation in riverside
county, was brought to the Los Angeles
Jail OH Thursday morning. The other two
Indians, Francisco Guavish and francisco
Rodrigues, were left at Riverside Jail. Mo-
lido had made confession to Marsh and
Abila before they brought him here, but
yesterday he made full sworn statement
to Martin Aguirre, A. W. Marsh, Felipe
Abila and John B. Campbell, notary pub
lie and steu ographer. In the confession
he gives the full details Of the murder of
Mary Platt as follows:
Mateo Pa, the chief, and Guavish went
to the school house before dark and wanted
Mrs. Mary Platt, the school teacher,
to give them money to go to the
fiesta at Mesa Grande. She refused
then Mateo Pa went away, but Gtlavish
hunted up Francisco Brodrique and Ven
tura Moldo and about 8 p. III. the same
evening they went back to the school house.
Molido knocked at the door and when Mrs.
Platt answered he grabbed her. The three
tiends then dragged her off about 200
yards, and all of lhem ravished her. Then
they took her back to the school house and
carried in dry wood, laid her on it and COW
cred her with bedding. On this they
poured coal oil and set fire to it.
Guavsh went into her bedroom and took
what money she had. Then they set fire
to the pile and burned her body.
Marsh and Martin Aguire have been
working on the case for nearly a year and
all of these facts in the confession are cor
roborated.

Burglary at the Bellevue Dairy on Peabody
Street Thursday Night

Burglary at the Bellevue Dairy on Peabody
Street Thursday Night
The room of Clarence Holland, son of
W. g. Holland, proprietor of the Bellevue
dairy, on Peabody street, was burglarized
Thursday night and $50 in cash stolen.
Young Holland occupies a room at the
dairy in which are couple of cots occu-
pied by employees. Last night when he
went to bed he h ad $50 in cash and a
check in his trousers pocket. When he
awoke at 2 o'clock yesterday morning the
money was gone, but the check was lying
on the bed.

singular fact in connection with the rob-
berry is that the old man Holland, who
sleeps in an adjoining room, had quite a
sum Of money, as did also the young man
who slept in the same room with young
Holland, but the thief overlooked them.
The case was reported at police head
quarters yesterday morning and detect
ives detailed to work it up.
1t is supposed that the thief was fright
ened away by the return of the young man
from the city before he had an opportunity
of going through the house.

An Exciting Runaway

An exciting runaway occurred on First
street yesterday morning. About l o'clock
a two-horse team, attached to a delivery
wagon belonging to Haniman, of the Mott
market, became frightened and dashed
down First street. Near the corner of First
the horses ran into an electric car and then
SHE'D off and came in collision with cable
car. They also struck buggy standing
near the curb, upsetting the, vehicle and
overturning the horse. The runaways were
captured before doing any furtter harm.

THE COWBOY PREACHER


Again on the Strests Last Evening-No Ex-
citemcnt Among the People
The cowboy preacher and his wife were
again on the streets this night. They
transferred the scene of their operations
one block further south on Spring street,
holding forth between Second and Third.
AS usual they attracted large crowd, but
not in sufficient numbers to obstruct the
sidewalk, and in consequences they were
not molested by the police. As the novelty
wears OIL, the interest dies out, and there
is little prospect of any further trouble
with the outfit. unless they resort to some
new scheme to attract public attention.
Last night the cowboy preacher devoted
most of his so-called sermon to advertising
some books which be had to sell, and to re-
lating his eXper ience in the Jail. His wife
also delivered one of her characteristic
talks. There was an absence of anything
like enthusiasm, or even general interest.
Most people stopped "a few seconds, aud
when their curiosity was satisfied, passed
on, but few remaining any length of time,
