A Great Big Scandal

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-The
Chronicle says there is a great big
scandal back of the suit filed few days
ago by s. Weber Parker against A. H.
Rapp, c. E. Shafter and A. c. Morrison.
This action is to compel Rapp to convey
a group of five mines in Tuolumne coun-
ty to the plaintiff, to declare that the
other defendants have no title in the
property and for $1258O0 oiamag ges.
Rapp is alleged to be the real owner of
the property. BY him alb ond was given
to Parker for the sale of them inc at
$150000, of which $4,000 was to be paid
Feb. 1st. Another agreement to sell,
this time at $250000, was given by SHAFT
ter, in whose name is the title, to A. c.
Morrison. Parker offered the invest
ment to London syndicate for 5000, 900.
Morrison demanded $500, 900 for the same
property, his prospective customer be-
ing the Juniper gold syndicate of Glas-
gov. 1t is alleged that the English and
Scotch firms discovered what was in
progress and Joined forces, accepting on
joint account Parker's proposal of $780,
600
The first installment of $4,000 wss
cabled to San Francisco, where Parker's
representative was to close the deal At
this point, it is alleged, Rapp showed .
disinclination to act up to the terms OF
the bond given by him TO Parker. On
Monday, when the local representative
of the purchasers took $4,000 to Rapp's
office, the latter was not there to re-
ceive it. Suit was filed the next day.
but thus far it has been impossible to
serve the papers on Rapp.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The roads of the
westerns Passenger association have
been voting for the past few days on
their own proposition to make rates to
the scene of the Corbett- -Fitzsimmons
fight in Nevada. The first proposition
provides for rate of $50 from the Mis-
souri, river for the round trip, which
means a rate of $3.50 from Chicago
The other plan is to make round trip
rates between Chicago and Reno, New.
which would mean a rate of $50 from
Chicago. The vote will not be COM
plete0 until tomorrow and the chances
are very strong that he first proposition
will be carried. In fact, one of the
strongest roads in the Western Passen-
ger associat ton has privately announced
that it will make the $62.50 rate even
though the association declared against
it. 1t has full right to make this rate
in contradiction of the acts of the asso-
ciation, taking advantage Of clause
permitting independent action at the
expiration of ten days5 notice given to
the chairman of the association.
s. u. Halter of this city has been ap-
pointed by Dan Stuart general manager

remarks brief. If the great trades union
movement comprising the United States
were better understood, said the speaker,
there would be no antagOniSmS between
capital and labor. The organization at
Washington represents 1,5S0.000 wage
earners of the country The labor union
stands for home, stands for the country,
stands for commerce, for manufactures
and for everything good. If the citizens
of Los Angeles thoroughly understood
the purpose and eoms of the union there
would not be a dissenting voice against
1t. 1t has never been the intention to an
tagonize manufacturers nor the trade in
terests of the country. The merchants
and manufacturers of Los Angeles stand
committed to the trades union with one
single exception. On behalf of the twen-
ty-three trades unions and nine building
trades. the speaker thanked the audi
ence for its attention.
The Arion quartette sang a number of
pleasing selections during the evening
and responded to an encore with Ger
man burlesque and plantation melodies

The end has come with Billy" AL
drich. He died in San Francisco, Octo-
Der g. The funeral was held from
the parlors of the first Unitarian
church.
VIM. H. Aldrich was born in Homo
lulu forty years ago. His father was
a partner with Hon. Chas. r. Bishop
and amassed a great fortune. No young
man anywhere ever had brighter pros
poets than Billy Aldrich. He was
sent to the States for an education.
He was of a mpanionable DISPOSE
ton and for long time was very pop
ular here. He was prominent figure
in the old Honolulu Rifles and was
made captain of one of the companies.
All the boys liked Billy
The old habits and traditions of the
community were irksome to the young
man and he struck the pace that
brought misery and that caused him
to drift from his friends. He married
and his wife and children survive him
He tried business but did not care fol
| it. Steamboating attracted him at one
time, but he soon became weary OF life
on the Island liners.

A Reminder.

The Japanese celebration story OF
robbery was funny and there is fun
nv parallel. The account was of the
theft and recovery of trunk contain
ing $4,000, all in tea chest and other
drafts, bonds, notes, etc., excepting
about SO in yen. A Honolulu man who
is very general known once complained
after a sleepless night: II have been
