 First Division.

Lieutenant E. V. Reynolds, lecturer on constitutional law in the Yale Law school, and Lieutenant E. G.

TOOK OUT a LICENSE
Jose Msscsrel win Be Again Married 60 rlake
the natter Sure

After waiting for thirty years before
having his marriage solemnized under
the laws of the state and by the sane
tion of the church. Don Jose Mascarel
does not propose to take any chances
In having its legality contested In tho
courts after his death, and his helpmate
of lifetime defrauded out of her share
of the fortune which she helped him to
accumulate.
A few days ago the Donna Maria Fe-
liz, with whom Mascarel lived as his
wife, and by whom he has had several
children, most of whom are now grown,
was taken seriously i'll. Mr.. Mascarel
then wanted to take out q marriage IL
cense and have the ceremony performed,
when objection was made by one of his
sons-in-law, ]. p. Goytino, who served
notice on the county clerk not to issue
the license. AS under the statutes,
where people have occupied the rela-
tions which existed between the Donna
and Mascarel, no license is required.
Rev. Father Adam was called in, and
the marriage ceremony was performed.
Later the question was raised that.
under amendments to the laws made by
the last legislature, such a marriage
was not legal. In order that theg might
be no question. Mr.. Mascarel yesterday
took out marriage license in due form.
and will again have the marriage cere-
mony performed. thereby settling the
matter beyond any possible chance of
dispute. In the marriage license the
age of Mr.. Mascarel Is given at so years
and that of Maria Feliz at GA.

there was due him q certain sum. All
the checks were signed with the genuine
signature Of f. w. Strange, the con-
tractor. At the bottom of the checks
there was line stating that the laborer
assigned his claim to -, the forged
signature following.
The claim has been set up that the
checks are not instruments of value, ana
that they are not promises to pay any
thing. If the laborer really existed ne
did not perform the work, and If he does
not exist could not have done 1t. In
either case the time check was void and
worthless. consequently not an instru-
ment of value and there has been no
felony committed. Justice owens did
not care to decide this fine question ana
has left 1t for the superior court to ham
die.
When the order was read dismissing
Carnicle his friends crowded around TO
congratulate him. The testimony mere
ly showed that he had vouched for the
checks on the supposition that they
were all right because he recognized
Strange's signature, and thought OF
course that the labor had been perform
ed as stated.
There are still two more cases OF the
same nature pending aginst the DEFEND
ants. but their fate will probably hinge
on the disposition made of the case TO
be tried in the higher court.

MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS
Consolidation Of the Two Organizations Is
PrOpoSed-The AdXantaGea

The Merchants association is consid-
ering a project for absorbing the Manu-
facturers' association, thereby increas-
ing the efficiency of both organizations.
The combined bodies would be known
as theMerchants and Manufacturers as
sociation and would comprise a member
ship of 247 of the best business firms
in the city
There would be several advantages In
such a union, not the least of which
would be better acquaintance of the
merchants with the varied products of
the manufacturers. The public of Los
Angeles scarcely realizes how much of
manufacturing city we have become.
Nor do they generally appreciate the
wide territory over which our CONNER
cial and mercantile operators extend
With cheap fuel oil we can fairly COM
pete with eastern houses particularly
in lines where the raw product is OBJ
tained in our own section. In that case
we have the advantage of freight cost
across the continent. That freight
amounts to a discriminating tariff in
favor of home production.
Wherever we can do so the merchant
will be glad to purchase of the home
manufacturers, thereby supporting a
large number of artisans and their fam
lilies and furnishing steady customers
for his trade.

and it is certainly pity that so capable

command q better instrument. Behr's

MINES AND MINING

The Noble Bros mine at Dulzura has
been SOLD to a syndicate of Chicago capi-
talists, represented by Messrs. Barrett
and McLurey. The purchase price is
understood to be S25,000 and the sale
was negotiated some months ago, when
these gentlemen were visiting here. The
mine has been developed for year past,
and is known to be one of the finest
properties in this section. On several
previous occasions the mine has been
bonded, but inability to raise the money
necessary to complete the purchase
caused the various deals to fall through.
This time however. the sale has got be-
yond the prospective stage, and with
part of the purchase price already paid
there can be no fear that the balance
will not be forthcoming when needed
as the company has abundance of CAPT
tai.
The property is capable of extensive
developments, and the plans of the new
owners are to work it to the utmost linn
it. They intend to put up large stamp
mine, and employ sufficient men to keep
it going day and night.-San Diego Sun.

successfully as it now promises, rail-
road will be built to Washington camp,
which will become one of the foremost
mining towns in the territory. Mr..

THAT LITTLE GAME OF plNoCHLE
Sid Shrek Did Not Lose an Order but Came
Out on Top

On Monday morning last story was
printed in the Herald giving the partic-
ulars of quiet little game OF pinochie
which occurred between two clothing
drummers at San Diego, the partici-
pants being Ike Hyman and Sid Shrek,
both of San Francisco. The game was
for trif1ing stakes, enough to make 1t
interesting. but it was stated that Hy-
man had started the game merely TO
keep Shrek occupied while Hyman
travelling companion, Harry Adler, was
out hustling for orders, thus forestal-
ing Shrek
The latter parsonage is now in the city
and thinks the laugh. instead of being
on him. should be on Hyman. He claims
that while the game of pinochle did oc-
cur and he got little the best of it, the
story about Adlers forestalling him on
an order is a fairy tale, pure and sim
ple He cleaned up the town and Adler
had his hustling for his pains. How the
story got started he is at a loss to know,
except as a joke, which it undoubtedly
was.
