HOTEL MITCHELL CASE
NcNaughton Claims That the Value
Was Misrepresented

William McNaughton, who purchased
the furniture and secured a three years
lease on the Hotel Mitchell g. Pasadena
from N. H. Mitchell, the owner, a few
months ago, has concluded that he was
cheated and has brought the matter into
the courts for adjustment. The trial
was in progress in Judge Van Dykes
court all day yesterday and will prob
ably last several days more.
McNaughton traded two pieces of
property-one a house and lot in this
city, and the other a tract a Monte
Vista, in all valued at s6000-for the
furniture and business of the Hotel
building for term of three years at
$125 month. Now he is dissatisfied with
his bargain and claims that he was led
to make the trade by fraudulent repre-
sentations If all the things stated
about Mitchell in the complaint are true,
McNaughton must have been an easy
prey. 1t Is claimed that before making
the trade, Mitchell represented that the
hotel had netted an income of never less
than $500 per month during the three
years that it had been under his man
agement; also that at the time of the
conveyance 1t was claimed that there
were twenty-five regular boarders who
paid not less than $S5 month each.
MoNaughton imagined that he was
getting a great bargain, but after TAX
ing possession of the hotel 1t was not
long before he came to the conclusion

M. E. Divines Hold an Institute and
District Gathering

The ministers of the NJ. E. church
South in the Los Angeles district hold
a preachers institute every month. The
one which closed yesterday noon, after
a two days session, was the most inter
estlng and profitable that has yet been
held. The discussions were animated
and earnest, manifesting much thought
on spiritual things and the affairs of
the church.
The subjects presented and discussed
were well handled, and the thoughts,
both in the papers and the discussions.
were along the high line marked out by
the program. and will be of lasting good
to the church.
The district conference of the NJ E.
church South met at the West End
church yesterday at p. M, with Rev.
NJ. B. Sharbrough, presiding elder, in
the chair Nearly all the preachers Of
the district and some of the lay dele
gates from the various charges were

Revs. Claude Thompson and Rufus Ba-
laam secretary and assistant respective
ly, and the appointment of committees
on the various interests of the church

WORK AT ELYsIAN PARK
Citizens Should See the Progress Of
the Driveway

It is very desirable that as many as
can conveniently do so should visit the
work that is going on at Elysian park on
Saturday. for the purpose of noting
what has been accomplished during the
month of March by the army Of the un-
employed. 1t will be most interesting
sight One will see a broad, smooth
roadway carved out of the mountain
side for a distance of two miles, follow
ing the sinuosities and keeping on an
easy grade. Stretched along this shelf
are 400 men, engaged with pick. shovel
and blasting tools, performing the work
for which the park fund has been raised.
A very interesting feature of the ex-
cavations made for the park boulevard
is the exposure of the rock formations
Teachers and students will be able to
study the geological strata in beautiful
successive layers of blue, green and
vermilion sandstone, shale, limestone
and granite. In some of the cuts these
strata will be straight and parallel, and
in others they are curved and CORFU
gated. In some places the soft shale and
sandstone can be worked with a pick:
in other places the rock is as hard as
adamant and can only be loosened by
using blasting powder.
The wild flowers are now blooming in
great profusion, and one can gather
handfuls of beautiful blossoms, and the
students of botany can spend hours
roaming over the spangled hillsides.
The scenery visible from numerous out
looks in the park cannot be surpassed
in the environs of any city.

STRONG RESOLUTIONS
Board of Trade Memorializes Congress
on the Citrus Fruit Traffic

At a special meeting of the board Of
directors of the Los Angeles board of
trade, held yesterday, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas. The citrus industry generally
in the United States Is in a stagnant
condition, so much so that many thou
sand acres in citrus trees can be bought
for much less than cost to the owners
thereof; and whereas California alone
has over $4,000 acres in citrus trees, on
which many thousands of her citizens
are dependent for their living; and
whereas. If the said citrus growers are
placed on an equality with the foreign
growers, the present value of the dones-
tic product, amounting to about six mil
lions of dollars, would be increased
within a comparatively few years to an
amount of not less than twenty million
dollars which would be equivalent to
retaining that amount of gold in this
country-frst by an increased yield
from orchards now negligently cared for,
from a fear that the expenses Will be
greater than the income; second, by in
creased acreage, and third, yet more by
the increased bearing, due to the greater
age of the present trees; and whereas,
the citrus growers of this country are
enabled to regulate In part the amount
of fruit put upon the market at any one
time, thereby causing comparatively
even market, which Is for the best inter-

WHOSE WRENCHEsP
Wong Yon Claims Them but the Po-
lice Differ From Him

Charlie Sam, who rejoices in the pos
session of charmed duality. in that he
is also called Wong Yon, was locked up
yesterday on suspicion Of having broken
the eighth commandment.
1t is needless to say that Charlie Sam
is a native of the Celestial kingdom
in other words, he has the misfortune
to be Chinaman now living In the state
of California. 1t seems that Wong Yon
is well known to the officers at the CEN
trail station, having on many occasions
been their guest behind the bars. But
1t has been difficult to retain him very
long in durance vile, as. up to the pres
ent time, none of the Suspicious" under
which he has labored have blossomed
into fruit
This time Wong Yon was detected by
officer t. Conley in conveying two
wrenches to parts unknown, and now the
query is: "Who owns the wrenohes?"
The heather says they belong to his
laundry, but: who thinks differently"
Is what the officers want to know.
