FREE HARBOR LEAGUE
MEETING OF THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
Statements of the Chamber as to San
Pedro Harbor Approved and
Affirmed

The Free Harbor league met in thu
directors room at the chamber Of com
merce yesterday afternoon at4:30 o'clock
with Colonel Harrison Gray Otis pre-
siding and w. D. Woolwine officiating
as secretary
had been called principally at the re.
quest Of delegates to the Transmississ-
ippi congress at Salt Lake for the pur-
pose of getting an expression from the
league as to San Pedro harbor, with
view to backing them up and support
ing them in their position.
G.. W. Parsons said that he hoped to
go to the congress, and wanted all the
support possible for San Pedro harbor
General Charles Forman thought that
the delegates magnified the Importance
of securing backing or support from the
league. When he and his colleagues at
tended a previous congress they found
that all that was necessary was a little
rustling. All this business is done out
side of the regular sessions, and all that
is necessary is to have few good speak
Aers to properly present the matter.
The chairman thought that it would
be proper to have the statement adopted
by the chamber of commerce approved,
as this would show unanimity of ac-
ton. This was perhaps all that could
be done by the league in the matter.
The secretary then read the state
ment adopted by the chamber of COM
merce June 30th, and also the subse-
Quent statement, after which, on an ex-
PLANTATION by the president, Mr.. Par
sons offered a resolution endorsing the
statement as fair exposition of the har
Dor situation, and authorizing and re-
questing all delegates to the Transmits
sissippi congress to present to that body
the statement Of facts issued by the
Free Harbor league under the date of
June s. 1897, and also the statement of
facts issued by the chamber of COM
merce under date of July 1, 1897 both
bearing on the San Pedro harbor ques-
ton as embodying a correct statement
of the essential facts covering thae
present situation regarding the improve
ment, and that the delegates be re-
quested to urge upon the congress the
adoption and approval of these several
statements.
The resolution was adopted by unani-
nous vote, after which, on motion of
TIE. .Gibbon 1000 copies of Mr.. Livingstone s
letter to the Detroit Journal of June
2, 1897, were ordered for distribution at
the congress.
The treasurer presented a financial
statement, after which the chairman
of the committee on publicity was pre-
scented. Mr.. Gibbon stated that the COM
mittee proposed to circulate all litera-
ture bearing on the harbor question.
w. D. Woolwine moved that Colonel
H. G. Otis be elected president of the
Free Harbor league, and he was elected
by a unanimous vote.
On motion, John F. Francis and c.
D. Willard were elected presidents
by unanimous vote.

THE MAJORS DIVORCE
The Desired Substitution of Attor-
news Made

The Majors divorce case was again up
before Judge Allen yesterday on the
matter of the substitution of attorneys.
Attorney H. H. Heath filed an affida-
Wit showing how. when and why he be-
came connected with the case, and At
torney Calvert Wilson filed a counter
affidavit which also threw little light
upon the only question involved. AT
any stage of suit clients may change
their attorneys If they so desire, pro-
viding always they pay the counsel re-
lieved from further service proper and
reasonable fee for his services. In the
present case Mr.. Heath had contracte
to carry the proceedings to completion
for $25 and the court thought that as
his work had practically been confined
to drawing up and filing the petition
$40 would be a fair remunerat ton. Or
this understanding the order of substi-
tuition of attorneys was made.
1t will be remembered that Mrs. Ma.
jors was the 15-year-old girl who rar
away with Harry Amador Majors and
was married at sea. In the interim she
has had many vicissitudes. and recently
filed a sensational complaint in divorce
alleging, among other things, that hel
husband objected to any further addi.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
CUPID CARRIES AWAY A BRIDE
IN SPITE OF PARENTS
The Groom's Parents Imagine That
Their Son Has Committed Suicide,
but He Has Not

The futility of parents interfering in
the love affairs of their children was
again demonstrated yesterday when
Alice N. Flynn and C. w. Wonder Kuhlen
left the city to get married.
1t was originally the intention of the
couple to be united Thursday evening
and the intended groom procured his
license and all was made ready at the
home of the young lady's aunt at 155 Ea st
Twenty fifth street.
Shortly before the appointed hour a
note was left for Miss Flynn from her
affianced in which he stated that he
was going away and also contained the
startling declara ton that he was going
to commit suicide.
1t was stated that he was going to
take this step because he believed his
betrothed had been unfaithful and had
been intimate with another young man.
When a reporter called at the home of
Miss Flynns uncle and asked to see
her last night he was informed that she
was not at home. Further questioning
ELECTED the fact that she had left on the
morning train, but which one could not
be learned. Her aunt stated that the
young people had an understanding and
would meet and be married. The note
had merely been ruse to deceive Von-
der Kuhlen's parents, who are German
and objected to their sons marriage to
an American. He desired to get rid of
their interference.
All yesterday they were in great
furore lest the corpse of their son should
be brought home.

A RECEIVERS FEES
Herman Silver Trying to Recover
$500, but the Result Doubtful

The suit of Herman Silver against the
California bank to recover $500 came
up in department six yesterday, and was
submitted on briefs.
The facts in the case are rather COM
plicated. In September 1889, the bank
began an action against the Los Angeles
and Pacific Railway company and
others, wherein an injunction against
M. L. Wicks and Jennie A. Wicks was
asked, restraining them from either dis :
posing of or incumbering ITO bonds
placed in their hands as collateral secur-
ity and also that receiver for the de-
fendant company be appointed. The
case itself has never come to trial. but
at that time Herman Silver was appoint
ed by the court as receiver and served in
that capacity from ctober 3, 1889, to
May IS, 1898. Some time later the
court fixed his compensation at $4,000.
and from moneys collected, ETC., $500 of
this amount was received, but the ball
ance was never paid, and that claim
formed the basis of the present suit
So far it all seemed straight sailing,
but in its answer the bank contended
that the action against the railroad
company was brought to recover two
notes executed in August, 1889, by the
railroad company to w. T. SpillmNn,
one for $1,000, and one for $1O571.4S, and
which were transferred to the bank by
Spillman as security for an indebted
ness by him Of $4,000. Spillman re-
quested the bank to bring action on these
notes or permit its name to be used. 1t
cid permit the corporation name to be
so used as the assignee of the notes in Or
Ger to recover. The suit was thereupon
brought by Spillman and the expenses
incident to that trial were paid by him
the bank having no interest except as
the holder of the notes as security. The
indebtedness was liquidated later. and
the notes Cancelled, and the whole MAJ
ter was ended so far as the bank was
concerned
Upon this showing the case was sub
mitted.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW
The Name of the Lady Described
Below

According to that reliable authority,
w. S. Gilbert, "a policeman,s IS life is not
happy one," but it is bed of roses
in comparison to that of postmaster.
Each time the mail comes in he knows
that he is going to be called upon to
perform the functions of nearly every
official position from that of the presf-
dent of the United States down to the
local poundmaster. People write ask
ing for information of every kind and
description, demand investigation of
family and state affairs; some are
wheedling in tone, some peremptory and
many are distinctly unwarrantable.
Only yesterday Postmaster Mathews
found in his mail an anxious inquiry
from man regarding the possible
whereabouts of his brother who was
lost 40 years ago; another from some
one whose mule strayed away or was
stolen in 'S9; and still another from d
bucolic resident of Indian Creek, KY,
whose inflamma BILE soul seems to have
been moved to respond to application
to some marriage bureau or other out
let from Cupids realm because, he
says, II am Informed that there is a
lady living in your county, 3S years old,
with dark hair brown eyes, is feet Z
inches tall, weighs III pounds, and who
says she has a good paying business in
Los Angeles, Cal. 1 don't know her
name and 1 want you, if you know her
name, to write it on the enclosed card
and mail it to me. If you don't know
her name, you might learn it by asking
the sheriff of the county or the county
assessor. Give her full name and ad-
dress. Please see to this for me at once,
and I will be much obliged, Yours
truly, D. P. Helton" And the card was
endorsed with the full address of Mr..
Helton on one side, and the age, height
and rest Of the above description on the
other. That's the way they do things
in Knox county, KY, evidently. and un-
less General Mathews closes his office
and starts on still hunt for the elusive
enchantress, Col" Helton will prob
bably stamp him as pore no-account

utterances. Oliver denied to Kennedy
that he had threatened Kramer. and told
the Jail official that his trusty's report
contained many things he had said. but
many more he had not The next day
Oliver again saw Kramer and reproach-
ed him with breach of faith, saying that
he had violated his trust. and that he
(Oliver) would have nothing further to
do with his case; furthermore, that he
should telegraph to the supreme court
before whom the appeal was pending
stating that he had abandoned proceed
ings. Kramer asked him not to take
this step, and he consented not to send
the telegram, but later saw Judge Smith
as to his right as an attorney to with
draw from the case.
By the judge. Oliver was informed that
he could legally do so, but that such an
action would entail extra expense upon
the state and accordingly action was
postponed until later. On seeing Kramer
again Oliver told him what he had done
and demanded that at least a portion, of
his fee, already earned, be- paid. If
Kramer did not pay him $50 by the
14th of July he should make applica-
tion to the judge to withdraw the GER
tif1cate of probable cause and thus knock
out Kramer's appeal.

ON A CONTRACT
A Suit Based on Work Done at the
Veterans Home

The suit of H. D. Smith to recover
$1,000 from j. S. Stine and his sureties on
a bond as sub-contractor is ON trial
before Judge York.
In the late spring Of 1895 Jonah &
Jay had the contract for building bar
rack at the Veterans home near Santa
Monica and sublet the BRICK cement
and concrete work to the defendant
Stine. For the proper fulfillment of the
work Stine furnished a bond for $1,000,
with P. H. and w. H. Bulls as his sure
ties.
The plaintiff, to whom the bond was
transferred, claims that at the last mo-
ment defendant failed to perform and
carry out the stipulations of his contract
and that Jonah &, Jay were thereby dam
aged in the sum of the amount of the
bond, which amount is now demanded.
