THE INDUSTRIAL MILLENNIUM
NJ. J. Swift OF Boston Agitates for Co.
operation
A Ten-Cent Subscription to Raise Fund
That Will by Honest Methods Change
the Politics of State

A preliminary meeting was held last
evening at the home of Mrs. Corker. 515
West Seventh street, for the purpose of
taking steps towards sympathizers in
Southern California aiding in a most
unique work of cooperation.
Henry D. Lloyd, the Chicago million
aire, who is noted as a Socialist thinker
and writer has gathered around him
coterie of earnest men, including in their
number Prof. Frank Parsons, Rev. Ny
ron Reed of Denver, E. V. Debs, the Ia
Dor leader Morrison 1. Swift, Edward
Bellamy and many other men of ad
vanced ideas who are earnest in their
attempt to establish a Brotherhood of
the Cooperative Commonwealth.
This new order if such it can be
termed, has for it's president Mr.. Lloyd,
and Morrison l. Swift of the Boston
University last evening outlined the pur-
poses Of the brotherhood to the small
gathering assembled to meet him.
He defined this new brotherhood as
means of uniting all those who believe
in reform along cooperative lines in
one body. In union there is strength,
and such strength is multiplied If it is
armed Withe money necessary to carry
out the plans that may be decided upon.
For this reason all members will pay
into a common fund 10 cents each per
month. So soon as may be practicable
this fund will be utilized in colonizing
workers in some of the smaller states,
these to engage in work along purely CO.
operative lines. These colonists will
form most potent factor in the politics
of the state where they may esta ablish
themselves, and ultimately. as they are
reinforced and their members swelled
by new colonists and by recruits, will,
it is anticipated, altogether control the
politics of the state. New laws will be
enacted which will tend to enforce the
cooperative idea, and the Industries of
the state will be socialized
The scheme as outlined last evening is
attractive, and is rendered doubly so by
little simple arithmetic.
Ten cents per month from 800. 900 men,
bers-and that is considered a modest
avera ge-would in ten years amount to
s6,000,C00 This, it is calculated, would
buy land and machinery and equi., in
Splerdid shape 10000 workers and these
working on the cooperative plan, could
well AFFORD to pay ten times the amount
of the original subscription per month,
in order to aid in cotonizing in another
state and prosecuting the industrial war
upon purely peaceful lines.
Mr. Swift gave a most interesting talk,
and as he Is thoroughly posted in the
history of the industrial evolution, and
is a rather striking speaker. he con-
trived TO thoroughly enthuse his hear
ers.
a local union of the Brotherhood of
the Cooperative Commonwealth was
formed last evening and will meet at
1920 South Pearl street on Tuesday even
ing next.

THE SPENCER CASE.
Contest Between Relations Over Large
Property Interests.

After many delays the case of Isabel
Spencer against Mrs. Anna P. Spencer
came to trial Yesterday in department.
four. The original complaint was re-
plete with sensational allegations, here
tofore published, which, at best, can
have only Indirect bearing upon the is
sues raised in this trial.
The litigation has arisen over large
property interests. ranging in value all
the way from 100000 to $50, 600. and is
an attempt on the part of the relatives of
the late Ambrose II. Spencer to have
deeds to much valuable property. exc
cuted by him to his wife, Mrs. Anna
Spencer. during his life time, set aside.
1t is alleged that the deceased was un-
duly influenced and encouraged in evil
habits in order that his will should be
weakened and thus be made subserv-
lent to his wife, who was q handsome
and strong minded woman.
On the other hand the defendant is
prepared during the course of the trial
to prove that much of her own money
was sunk in the property which, a later
date, was decided to her in perfect good
faith by her husband.
The proceedings yesterday were really
merely preliminary, consisting of the
reading of the pleadirgs and the intro
duction by the plaintiAf of testimony as
to the value of various pieces Of property
in possession of the defendant.

AN AZUSA STORY
That Threatens to Disrupt a Family If
1t Is Not Blackmail

A curious case has developed within
the classically rural retreats of Azusa,
and it is an open question whether an
atrocous crime has been attempted or
a biackmail scheme been launched.
1t appears that certain prying indi-
vidual. without any suspicion of any
wrong doing on the part of anyone, but
animated simply by the desire to nose

opened a door leading into certain
apartment and discovered a man in a
compromising position with a 9-year-
ole girl. He went and told what he had
seen. but as the alleged attempted out
rager of youthful innocence is the uncle
of the child and, is highly respected in
the community. no one would bear the
i'll titiings to the little girls father-the
brother of the man against whom the
charge has been made. The child her
self made no outcry according to Peep
ing Toms statement, nor has she made
complaint and the whole matter rests
on the say so of one Individual

The patients daughter. a pleasant
faced girl of about 20 years, corroborated
the statements OF the mother, and spoke
palliatingiy of her fathers brutalities.
When Mr.. Brockwell was called upon
to state his own case his tongue began to
wag as If 1t was hung on a swivel and
was a double-action concern wagging
at both ends. He talksfiuently and with
all the dogmatic assertiveness of the
petty tyrant. He explained to the court
and the medical examiners that the fact
of the matter was that his wife and
daughter desired to get him out of the
way; that each winter they left the
ranch and came to Los Angeles and left
him to himself, and he decidedly object
ed. He denied ever having abused his
wife why, 1 love 'er as the h'apple of
me eye" he remarked, and the remark
seemed to indicate his birthplace IN
England as having been within the
Cockney limit of Bow Bells. "No, gen.
tlemen," he resumed, "h'I wouldn't 'urt
a air of 'er cad" and he gazed at his
wife with look of aggressive determin-
alton. as If he challenged her to repudi-
ate his loving remark.
Mr. 'Brockwell went on to speak of pri-
vate family matters in the most villain
Gus way. but was called to order by the
court. The vindictiveness of the old
man was apparent. but there seemed lit
tie ground for the charge of insanity and
he was discharged.

| It is odd the complications in which it

pleXity of law proceedings. case has
just come up in the courts which illus
trates this and, although the amount
of money involved is not very large. the
case is none the less interesting on that
account.
The case stands briefly tlSls: Edwards
e Johnson the Main street seedsmen,
owe bill for goods amounting to s330.6
and while never having denied the in
debtedness and are ready to liquidate
it at any time. they are nonplused as
to whom TO make payment.
It appears Edwards d Johnson became
indebted to the extent named to the firm
of Northrup. Braslau. Goodwin & Co.,
doing business in Chicago and Minneap-
oils In May, 1896. the latter firm made
an assignment of their business to Will
lam T. Fenton for the benefit of their
creditors. Before any notice had been
given to Edwards St johnson by the as
signee of the estate, Emma Won Wind
hem, who carried on business as the
Nebraska Seed company, began suit
in this city against the the Northrup,
Braslau & Goodwin company. By vir-
tue of an attachment that issued in that
action on July 18th levy was made and
the debt Of $3.50 50. owing by Edwards x
johnson to the Chicago firm, was gar

Edwards & johnson have not paid their
claim, but have told the assignee of the
Chicago firm or the one side and the
Nebraska Seed company on the other
to go into court ard after several at
torneys have exhausted themselves in

to decide to whom the money actually
belongs. And that is what is now being
done. it being stipulated that Edwards

BUD" PRICES sURETIES
G. Lewis, the One Remaining Bondsman,
Now Reported to Have Weakened

Bud" Price is to have another day
or two granted him in which to hustle
around and get another surety in place
of G. NJ Miller to go upon his bond.
When the matter was called in de-
partment four yesterday morning, Judge
Shaw transferred the hearing to depart
ment si,., as the case of Myers vs. the
Bankers Life Assurance association
was in course of trial. Judge Allen has
not yet taken his seat in his depart
ment. owing to Illness. and Judge York
who called his calendar set the hearing
in the Bud Price surety matter over
to Monday the 11th.
BY this delay. unavoidable though it
may be. the notable Bud will al least
have plenty of time to chase himmself
around town and get real good sureties
and not make believes. In saying this
no reflection is meant upon Mr. Miller
who, as stated yesterday. is said to
have been inveigled into a false posi-
tiOn by means of misrepi asentatiOn
Nor. indeed, upon Mr. Lewis, ore of the
proprietors Of the 100" saloon, who had
such an unpleasant time while upon the
witness stand on Monday afternoon,
This latter gentleman, after his expert
ence in court, realized that going a
mans bond in a $4,000 suit meant some
thing more than acquieScing casually
TO the request of a friend-such as Bud"
Price. Mr Lewis is reported to have re-
considered his determination, and yes
tcrday withdrew his name from the
bond. In such case "3ud'' will doubt
less be thankful for the delay in court
for he will now be under the necessity
of humping himself around town in
order to get the two sureties required
by law.
Whether he will succeed in this is best
known to himself. 1t does seem hard
that with such a nice little chunk of
money as $25.000 will generally be con-
ceded to be dangling before his minds
eye he should rot be permitted to have
a chance offered to have a crack al it,
But human nature is the same the
world over. and business men are not
particularly disposed to so upon any
ones bond when under the necessity
of submitting themselves to a rigid eX-
animation regarding their business
status, their several investments ana
their general dealings in the business
world. To go on a snap bond when un-
challenged is oNe thing, but to submit
ones private affairs to close scrutiny
in open court is to place a heavy tax
upon any other than the very closest
friendship.
