Preliminary Hearing In the Time Check
Forgery Case
Before Police Justice Owens yester-
day morning the examination of +. p.
Carnicle, A. M. Carpenter, Frank
Hamm and George Mitchell came up on
three charges of felony in each of the
three first named defendants and one
against Mitchell. The men are accused
or being implicated In the issuance and
utterance Of forged time checks on the
Newell & Cannon block on Broadway,
between First and Second streets.
Before the first witness was called
Messrs. Rush & Davis, for the defense.
moved that the court dismiss the case
on the grounds that the complaints did
not state a public offense; that on its
face the instrument did not purport to
be for the payment of money. This was
taken under consideration by the JUS
tice, and at p. m. he denied the motion
and the examination was proceeded
with.
Earl B. Rogers was the first witness
placed on the stand for the prosecution,
and his examination occupied the en-
tire afternoon. Rogers is attorney for
s. Carder Smith, the money lender who
shaved the alleged bogus time checks.
He told the story of how the checks
were taken by his client; of how he had
engaged Carpenter to secure the sig
natures and affidavits Of the laborers
in whose names the checks were made
out, and Of their being turned over to
him. and the subsequent arrest Of Car
penter, Hamm and Mitchell.
Nothing has yet been brought out
which woud connect Carnicle with
the case, except In that he was acquaint-
ed with the other defendants and as ar
chitects of the building attested to the
genuineness of the signatures of F. w.
Strange, the contractor, to the checks.
At p. M, with Rogers still on the
stand, an adjournment was taken until
today, when the matter will come up to
be reset. There is a crowded docket in
the court for the next week, and it is
probable that an effort will be made to
have the case proceeded with on Mon
day.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS
Jose Mascarel and Maria Jesus Benito FeIlz
narried at Last

Jose Mascarel, aged so years and Maria
Jesus Benito Feliz, aged go years, were
married at the residence, No. 615 Lazard
street, Thursday, Rev. Father Adam
performing the marriage ceremony ac-
cording to the rights Of the Catholic
church.
The couple have been living together
for thirty years as man and wife, and
have several grown children. On Thurs
day Mrs. Mascarel was taken seriously
i'll, and 1t was then determined to have
the ceremony performed. J. P. Coy
tino, a son-in-law. attempted to stop
the marriage. and served notice on the
county clerk not to issue license. AS
in cases of this kind, the statutes provide
that no license is necessary, the cere-
mony was performed despite the pro-
test Of the son-in-law. whose objection
is supposed to be based on property con-
siderations.
Mr.. Mascarel is one of the wealthiest
men In the city, and is supposed to be a
millionaire. He is native of France,
but has lived in Los Angeles for many
years, and accumulated his wealth here.
He has very large property interests, and
Is one of the directors of the Farmers
and Merchants bank, one of the largest
financial institutions in the state.

Cheaper Lumber

The price of lumber in the local mar
ket was lower yesterday,~on all grades,
than for some time past. Some months
ago the lumber dealers agreed to main
tain certain figures for their product,
and for time things went Well-for
them. Gradually, however, secret cut
ting was done here and there by indi-
vidual firms anxious to close trade.
AS is usual in such cases, the dealers
then became suspicious Of each other,
and finally, at meeting of those inter-
ested on Thursday evening, it was
agreed to disagree. The result was
seen yesterday in cheaper building ma
terial. A continuance of this not al
together unfortunate condition of af-
fairs will be of value to the home builder
and, as there are more of him than Of
the lumber man, it will not be an un-
mixed evil.

Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-

a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Gold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad

CLASS PREJUDICE.

Under the above caption Mr.. j. NJ. Car
son the Washington Correspondent of the
Philadelphia Lcdgcy, in its issue of We'd
nesday, shows the misleading not to say
audacious character of the opinion expressed
by Senator Faulkner Chairman Of the
Democratic Congressional Committee, that
this campaign before it ends will "develop
into contest between "the masses of the
people, and 'the aggregated wealth of the
country"
In his comment on this remarkable
statement, MIR. Carson very forcibly shows
where the responsibility for this deplorabe
condition rests. Instead of being charge
able to the Opposition as Mr., Faulkner
terms it, Mr. Bryan and his Populistic As
socates of the West have for years past
sought to raise the sectional and class issue,
in their violent harangues to the masses
of the people and no one has been more
forward in pushing this alleged antagonism
between thrift and unthrift into prom
fence, than Mr.. Bryan himself
His earliest speeches says Mr.. Carson
upon the tariff question were filled with
denunciations of men of means and mana
gers of capital, who, he charged, had built
up enormous fortunes at the expense of the
agricultural classes. A large portion of his
stock in trade as an orator before he came
to Congress was the cry of 'sectionalism, "
and the antagonism between those whom
