in Dispute
The affairs of Stephen Page, an insolv-
ent, were gone into at length in department
two yesterday, before Judge Clark. The
matter came up in the suit of Gregory Per-
kins, jr., assignee of the Page estate, vs..
Charles Gassen.
At one time Page owned the Geneva res
taurant, OH Second street, between Spring
and Main streets, and also a bakery at
Boyle Heights, both businesses being val
ued at $4,000. 1t is claimed that when he
found himself getting into the deep

transferred both his businesses to

the intent, it is claimed, of defraudiDg
his creditors. Be that as it may, Page
filed his petition in insolvency the follow
ing month, and now the assignee of his

with accruing interest, $500 for attorney g
fees, $50 for expenses and $50 to recoup
him for two days time.

claims, on the other hand, that both OF
Page'a businesses were only of the value OF
i Sl4l3. He had claim Of $525.62 against
| Page, and when the latter got into trouble
| he paid 5000 in cash and released his
claim. and in that way got legitimate pos
session of the restaurant and bakery. 1t is
further contended by Gassen that he pur-

A JAIL BREAK
W. Hendei, Serving a Term for Larceny
Escapes

W. Hendel, Serving a Term for Larceny
Escapes
One of the involuntary boarders at the
county Jail made his escape yesterday.
This particular hobo-for it is as such
William Hendel would be classfied-has a
decided penchant for liberty, and of that
particular brand that permits him to do
what he pleases at any one else's expense.
Yesterday Hendel had served q six
months sentence for larceny and was re-
committed week ago on another charge
for sixty days. Ordinarily he appeared to
be pretty good prisoner and had been
made one OF the TRUSTEES. Yesterday,
while working in one of the turnkey's
rooms, under the supervision of the jailer,
he watched his opportunity until the latter
was called away for moment and then
opened the door, which gives exit outside
the ponderous Jail gate, and made his es-
cape.
Sheriff Burr at once had full description
of the escape printed, with the offer OF $25
reward fer his recapture, and these slips
were forwarded to all the suburban towns.
Hendel is supposed not to be quito sound
mentally, for not only has he been con-
fined in the insane asylum, but when first
arrested tried to commit suicide in the
city prison.

JOHN BROWN TO MARCH on

An Unworthy Bearer Of the Name Found
Guilty of Burglary
The trial of Brown, charged with having
burglarized store at Garvanza, did not
occupy Judge Smith and a jury very long
yesterday. 1t was rather haphazard
chance that the defendant was arrested,
but once in the grip of the law officers the
rest was comparatively easy. A youth saw
Brown carrying a tied-up handkerchief ap-
parently containing some weighty articles
in the direction of the Los Angeles river,
and telephoned to the police station for an
officer. Detectives Hawley and Auble
took up the trail and captured Brown while
sitting on log close to the river bed, n,i-
nus his burden. A little later a man who
had seen Brown bury the plunder in the
bed of the river, close to where he was cap.
tured, directed the officers, and three
dozen pocket knives and several pairs of
shoes were dug up. These were identified
by Mr.. Jones, who keeps a general mer-
chaudise store at Garvanza, as having
been taken when his premises were burg
larized.
Each link in the chain of evidence was
forged neatly by the law officers yester-
day, the jury returning verdict of burg
larry in the first degree without any delay.

Sacramento, in the North, Wants

Governor Budd Would Like to Sec the
Gathering Come South and Max
Pepper Also Favors 1t

Los Angeles will secure the coming
Democratic state convention. The COVER
nor favors this as the city for the gathering
of the clans, and Max Pepper, who is now
here, believes similarly.
Leaders slike w. w. Foote and w. H.
English are enlisted under the Los Angel
banner, and the delegations from all of the
southern counties upon the state COM
mittee will one week from today, at the
California hotel, San Francisco, cast their
several ballots for the southern metropolis.
The only real rival for the big gathering at
present is Sacramento.
II. B. McAvoy, one of the members of
the state committee from San Francisco
county, is for this city in the following
letter:
At the present writing am in favor of
Los Angeles as the place in which to hold
our next state convention. [ do not wish
you to take this as pledge that will vote
for your city, March 14th, as circumstances
may arise between now and then which
might cause me to change. l am always
more than willing to accommodate the
press, and especially SO in case of THE
HERALD, from whom received such kind
treatment when in Los Angeles.
Fresno county is for Los Angeles. This
is Committeeman J. d. Edwards letter:
Have given subject of when to hold next
convention very little thought. but now feel
Inclined to favor Los Angeles. Will let
you hear more definitely later.
Committeeman Thomas Renison writes
from Salinas as follows:
l will say that have not given the mat
ter of the location of t1e next Democratic
state convention any consideration what
ever. | have no objection to Los Angeles.
nd ha al ant fad IN, ho
convention there as any place that know
of. Do not consider me, however, as
pledged to vote for Los Angeles when the
matter comes up for consideration before
the state central committee. AS matter
of fact have no choice at this time, and
am as likely to vote for Los Angeles as any
place.
Sacramento county is of course for Sac.
ramento city Committeeman NJ. r. Beard
writes frankly:
II am in favor of holding the next state
convention in Sacramento. It's central To-
cation offers economy in time and money,
and will virtually do away with proxies.
Added to this, it has accommodations Sec
ond to no city in the state"
Committeeman Peter j. Shields writes in
part:
1.-THE Democrats up here heartily appre-
ciate your efforts in the cause of our party,
and will give your city, for your sake,
careful consideration. For my part l am
for Sacramento first, Los Angeles second,
and for the Democratic ticket always wher-

The suit of the City of Los Angeles VS..
Pomeroy ct al. continued its legal course,
which appears as devious as the windin9s

ing the property, the merit of the proposed
plans, and the right of the plaintiff to the
waters of the Los Angeles river, the de-
same issues.

Yesterday was pensioners day at the

marriage licenses are dealt out with liberal

old soldiers and some widows of veterans
seeking certification of their pension vouch-

During the day there was taken in $50. .25
and as two bits is charged for executing
each voucher, the total number passed
upon was 341. The lowest voucher was
made out for $6 and the highest for $72,
but there we're very few of the latter. An
approximate average would be about SIP,
or $50 per annum, in which case the vouch.
ers presented yesterday would aggregate
about $4,000.
