The Action Of the nsjority Officially Re-

The statement published in The Her.

316 Douglass street who has been a res
ident of Los Angeles for fifteen years,
and taxpayer for ten, yesterday called
at The Herald Office to say that the
statement as published in The Herald
was true in every particular. Money
was freely used, and one of the speakers
charged one Of the delegates with hav-
ing his purchase prNce in his pocket, and
he had not dared to deny it. Rev. Mr.
Hawkins had challenged the unfair ac-
tions of the chairman in trying to choke
the resolutions down the throats of the
Los Angeles people. Rev. Mr.. Jones,
Rev. Mr.. Nelson ana B. F. Talbot, the
vice-president Of the league, also spoke
against the unfair rulings of the chair,
and Mr.. McClelland challenged one Of
| the speakers on the resolutions in ref

| at the time. The accused party when
he was challenged to deny the charge,
| did not dare do so, butiactually turned
| pale and sat down. Mr.. Brown says that
| he introduced some silver resolutions,
| which the committee refused to consid-
| er, and when he tried to speak on the
| subject was choked off by the chairman,
| who limited him to three minutes. An
| other evidence that money was used
| was proven when one of the delegates
who had pledged himself for an open
! vote turned and voted for the secret
ballot on state lecturer. Rev. Mr. Hawk
| ms was also overruled, and the chair al
| lowed H. E. Henderson, the gold
| tongued orator of San Francisco to both
open and close the debate on the reso-
| lutions. Mr.. Brown said that the Afro
Americans Of Southern California did
not propose TO allow few designing
politicians Of San Francisco to go home
| and notify John D. Spreckels and the
! other bosses that they had the negro
vote in their pockets. Mr.. Brown pa!d
a. .high tribute to Messrs. Collins, VIII
SON and Summers of the Alameda dele
cation. who stood by the Los Angeles
men in their fight against the resolu-
| tions condemning the labor unions ana
| endorsing Mckinley. Mr.. Brown sald
| that there were 154 legal delegates In the

been bought off until at the closing ses-
sion there were but sixty-four in at

Suiiivan's Friends Claim 1t Is
BIackmail-Court News

NJ. J. Sullivan, foreman of the pattern
department at the Baker iron works,
is in trouble, the result of a street f1irta-
tion and its consequences.
As the alleged facts were yesterday
afternoon related to Deputy District At
torney Williams, they were to the effect
that Sullivan had, on the night of June
13 last and again on June 27, debauch-
ed Iva A. Fouch. the 16-year-old daugh-
ter of ]. j. Fouch. a carpenter who re-
sides at 1872 West First street. Sulli-
van is alleged to have abducted the girl
for the purpose of prostitution.
The district attorneys office issued
q complaint against the young man,
which was given to the constables of
Justice Morrisons court to serve.
The friends OF Sullivan deny the
charges made against him and insist
that the present proceedings are an at .
tempt to blackmail him for money. They
say that while Sullivan does not deny
having accompanied Miss Fouch to a
room in lodging house, thas he Is not
responsible for her present trouble and
that he has letters from the girl Offering
to let the matter drop If paid $500 in
cash.
Miss Fouch is about to become a
mother and on Sunday night she disap-
peared from home. She had confessed
her indiscretion to her mother and the
latter admitted to Judge Williams that
she had told Sullivan as soon as she
found out who was responsible for her
daughters condition that he ought to
bear the expense of his victims illness.
Mrs Fouch says that her daughter has
of late repeatedly threatened to commit
suicide by drowning herself in Westlake
and she fears that this threat may now
have become a reality.
Sullivan's friends say that on the
night that he first met the girl, the lat
were not averse to good time. They
were in fact in search of it. Sullivan
was also with companion and the quar-
tet, after visiting a saloon, made their
way, at the suggestion of the girls, to
thehouse when the alleged ruin of the
latter was accomplished.
Sullivan is unmarried. He resides at
524 Bernard street. His employers speak
of him in a complimentary manner.
Mr.. Sullivan was found at his place
of business, and promptly gave bail in
the sum of $1,000.
Mr.. Sullivan's friends say that he
will not have the slightest trouble in
clearing himself of the charge that
has been brought against him. They say
that it is simply an attempt at black
mail, and that this fact will be brought
out fully in court.
Sullivan has always borne a good
reputation and is highly esteemed by
his employers. He has never been in
any trouble before, and it is not believed
he will have any difficulty in clearing
himself of this.

The Army and Navy League and
Republican Bosses
SOME STRONG RESOLUTIONS
The Old Soldiers Decline to Be Further
Used as Tools
Want the Party Leaders to Fulfill This
Year Pledges Always Hsdc Before
the Election

The Army and Navy Republican
league is after the local Republican lead
ers with sharp stick. The league rather
intimates that it's membership has been
in the past used before the election and
after the votes had been counted brushed
aside because they were in the way To
prevent repetition of this sort of treat
ment this year, the following set of reso-
lutions has been adopted, copies of the
same having been ordered forwarded to
the powers that be:
'The Army and Navy Republican
league herewith submit to the Republi-
can county committee and other Repub-
lican organizations of this county few
propositions concerning the future pol
icy of the Republican party.
1.-THE members of this league claim no
preferment for any ex-soldier or sailor
merely because he served his country
as such, but we recognize the fact that
honesty, integrity and ability should be
the only tests as to fitness to hold office.
1--WE hold that all other qualifications
being equal, the Republican party should
give its preference for positions of honor
and trust to the men who carried our
flag to victory through four years of
bloody war
''The services performed by these men
from 81 to '65 have been deemed of such
worth that the congress of the United
States has made it imperative by law
that the eX-Unon soldier and sailor who
bears the honorable discharge shall have
| preference in appointments in executive
! departments, and years ago. before
| gratitude had died out and patriotic de-
votion to the flag had been relegated to
| the rear, California enacted a law IF
| like import.
"These two statutes are virtually
| dead letters They are ignored as fully
| as are the blue laws of New England.
| but every two years we find the sweet
| pledges contained in these grand laws
reiterated in party platforms. only to be
| forgotten when elections are over.
"The national Republican convention,
which met at st. Louis, not only nomi-
mated noble veteran who wore the blue
| and carried a musket but the platform
| pledges the party to carry out the prom
| ises heretofore made to the veteran ex-
| soldiers and sailors of our country
I'VE now not only ask, but we demand
| that the Republican party of Los An
| geles shall observe the national and state
laws on this subject, and while support
| ing Major Mckinley for president, they
shall also support that part of the plat
| form which recognizes the veterans
| claim. That men who, when elected tC
| office. have Disseminated against the
ex-Union soldiers and sailors shall never
again receive the suffrages of the Amer.
| lean people, and we call upon the 500,
| old soldiers and sailors in Los Angelo.
| county to unite with us to see that thest
demands and laws are respected"

Committee,


The committee of thirty Of La Fiesta
de Los Angeles met yesterday afternoon
The report on the subject of finances
showed that of those who have sub
scribed so far, a good numberl have in
creased their subscriptions and the total
amount subscribed shows a gratifying
increase.
Unfortunately number who were ap-
pealed to had postponed action until
some later date, which made it impos-
sible for the committee to decide wheth-
er or not to go ahead with the work of
preparation.
Definite action was therefore put off
until the canvass shall proceed further
and a larger number of returns shall
have been secured.
The outlook was. on the whole. re-
garded as decidedly favorable, taking
into consideration the dull condition of
business and the absence from the city
