LUTGE'S FAKE
Story of Being Burglarized
Is Too Fishy
DOC" CRANDALL ON TRIAL
FOR THE CoLD-BLooDED MUIR
DER OF JACK BOWMAN
An Amended Complaint Filed to Gust
the City Justices-Wanted
Slice of the Street

The examination of Theodore Lutge,
the Boyle Heights contractor, accused
Of having concealed $1,000 on the It'll Of
this month with intent to defraud the
Union Sheet Metal works, was COM
menced yesterday before Justice Young.
Lutge has been in jail ever since his
arrest being unable to secure bondsmen.
]. W. Hellman, of the firm of Furrey
&, Co., testified that Lutge came to him
at his office on the morning of the 9th
and inquired If witness could advise him
Of some way to raise money on his home,
as he had been robbed the night before
OF his money, $4,000, which was contained
in a tin box placed on the bureau in the
bedroom. He said that the burglars had
also taken away his own jewelry and
that Of his housekeeper, all of which
was also on the bureau. Lutge pretended
that he had placed the money received
from his Long Beach school house con-
tract in the tin box at night and that in
the morning it was gone.
Witness later on went to Lutge's
house on First street, Boyle Heights,
with George L. Specht the complaining
witness, to investigate the alleged bur-
glary. Mr.. Specht said to Lutge: why
did you not leave that money with me
last night when 1 met you?" and the
defendant replied: Il wasn't going to
give my money without a receipt" He
also stated that he had not placed his
money in the bank because he was afraid
that some brickmakers, to whom he was
indebted, might attach it. He had been
advised by his friend, j. T. Adams, the
little man who resigned from the board
of education few days ago on account
of his crookedness, not to put his money
in the bank. Lutge then said to He'll
man that all the money he had left in the
world was $500, which he had kept in his
pocket instead of putting it in the tin
box. Holman, who is one of defend
ants bondsmen, asked him for that to
pay off small creditors of Lutge's
who were clamoring for settlement
Defendant gave witness $2G0 and kept
$40. AT that time he claimed he could
raise money through his friends.
Mr.. Hellman and Mr.. Specht carefully
examined the screen wire of the porch
which Lutge claimed had been cut by
the burglars in order to reach the hook
which kept the porch door closed He'll
man was satisfied that the hole, about
five inches wide. hardly large enough

charged against him they were not en-
powered by law to act in the respective
capacities of police judge or police court
clerk, under the provisions of the act Of
1885. entitled the Whitney act" on the
following grounds: That there is a duly
constituted Justices court in this city, OF
which VIM. Young is the incumbent, and
that section 1913 of the code Of civil pro-
cedure, especially the provisions which
appear to apply to the city Of Los Ange-
les, is unconstitutional and void.
This section says affiant, is in contra
vention OF section Is, article 4, Of the
state constitution, providing that the
legislature shall not pass local or spe
cial laws; also with sections and 8, art-
Gle 2, and section 80, article 4, of the con-
stitution; that it conflicts with the act
to provide for the classification Of mu-
nicpal corporations, approved March g.
1883.
All Louie further AYERS that the act to
provide for police courts in cities having
80 900 and less than 100000 is now void,
and that Judge Owens has no right to
hold a police court in Los Angeles city
for the reasons that the Whitney act
never applied to this city; that it Is In
contravention with the act of 1888, pro-
viding for the classification of municipal
corporations; that the Whitney act be-
came imperative and no longer affect
ed Los Angeles some time prior to the
commission of the misdemeanor, be-
cause the city was then classified as one
Of the second class. whereas census
made by order OF the council had de-
termined that there were over one hum
bred thousand Inhabitants here, and
that a certified copy Of said census had
been filed with the secretary of state.
This census, it Is claimed by All Louie
and his attorneys, now constitutes tho
basis upon which the population of this
municipal corporation Is now deter
mined, under the act of 1898.

ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL.
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BY A
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The most
common and annoying is itching piles, indi-
Gated by warmth, slight moisture and in
tense, uncontrolloble itching in the parts
affected.
The usual treatment has been some sim
pie ointment or salve which sometimes give
temporary relief. but nothing like a per-
manent cure can be expected from such
The only permanent cure for itching piles
yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure
not only for itching piles. but for every
other form of piles, blind. bleeding or pro-
truding The first application gives instant
relief and the continued use for short
time causes a permanent removal of the
tumors or the small parasites which cause
the intense itching and discomfort of Itch
Many physicians for long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because it was
supposed to contain cocaine, opium or SIM
liar drugs, but such is not the case. A re-
cent careful analysis of the remedy showed
it to be absolutely free from any cocaine.
drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is
probably the only pile cure extensively rec
commended by physicians. because ii is so
so far as known the only positive cure for
piles except surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known, the safest and the
most extensively sold of any pile cure be-
fore the public.
Nearly ali druggists now sell It at so
cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co. Albion, Mich
for a book on cause and cure of piles and
also hundreds of testimonials from all
parts of the United States.
IL suffering from any form of piles ask
your druggist for a package of Pyramid
Pile Cure and try 1t tonight.

WANT CENTRAL PACIFIC ALSO

Chicago, Jan. 13.-The Posts Washington
special says: 1t is understood that the
president is waiting definite and specific
overtures from the Union Pacific reorgani-
cation committee before issuing the proc
lamation to initiate foreclosure proceedings
against the roads. The committee gave in
formal notice some time ago that 1t was
prepared 10 guarantee that n price would
be paid for the Union Pacific system equal
TO several million dollars more than the
principal of the subsidy bonds. No such
assurances were received from Hunting
ton, however, as TO the Central Pacific, but
1t is now said he is anxious to come in
on about the same terms as the Union Pa
cific. Whether he does or not is said to be
q matter of Indifference, as the Vanderbilts
and others associated with the Union Pa
cific bondholders will at the proper time be
prepared TO step into his shoes and bid for
the Central Pacific.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Gear has
received letter from Z. ElIery Anderson,
acting for the receivers of the Union Pa
cific Railway Company, giving detailed in
formation in regard to the indebtedness of
the Union Pacific company, which, at Sem
ator Gears request, was ordered printed by
the senate to-day. Mr.. Anderson says that
the obligations of the company were in
Cured prior TO 1891, principally, in the con-
struction of branch lines. the Union Pacific
receiving stocks and bonds in return for
the aid furnished by the parent company.
He says the stocks of these companies thus
held amount to So, SIG, 1888. but that of these
the only ones which have any substantial
value are the Montana Railway Company,
the Occidental & Oriental Steamship Com
pany, the Oregon Short Line Railway
Company and the Pacific Express Com
pany. Referring to the bonds held he says
their value depends largely upon the Jules
burg cutoff, in Colorado. and that the hos
tile action of the Union Pacific against the
Denver & Gulf road might very largely re-
duce this asset.

TOOK REVENGE FOR THEIR DE-
FEAT BY THE ELECTRICS.
George Nichols Was the High Bowler
of the Game. With Cody a Close
Second-New Orleans and
San Francisco Races.

The competing teams in last nights bowl
ing tournament game were the Midnights
and the Pastimes. The Midnights were
smartlng under the defeat administered to
them by the Electrics on the previous night
and We're determined to win, while the Pas
times were equally anxious to score vic
tory and get little further up the per-
centage column, if possible.
The game was a very interesting one
throughout, the Midnights starting out
with a lead, which they maintained to the
finish. winning by the score of 2,490 to 2.4O9
for the Pastimes. giving the Midnights the
margin of 81 pins. A peculiar fact in con-
nection with the game is that both teams
bowled their highest scores in the tourna-
ment up to date.
1t was a game in which the work of all
ten of the bowIers was very even, and al
most every one of them had a chance to
be high man right up to the closing frames.
The highest score of the evening was 529
while the lowest was 49, and six OF the
bowlers were either over or within easy
reach of the 500 mark. George Nichols, of
the Midnights, led his team and was the
high bowler of the game with 529, while
Cody led the Pastimes and was right after
Nichols with 524. Kendall, of the Mid
nights, got fine bunch of strikes right at
the finish and was third with 51I. George
Baehr was fourth with 493, and Bray was
ftfth with 4Sl. C. King, Miller, Smith,
Berkey and cohn all had. good average
scores, the latter being the low man of the
game with 459. Summary:
