ductors of the United States. which will

have one of the most interesting and
profitable sessions that the order has

local executive committee to see the
interest that the public spirited citi-
zens of Los Angeles manifest in the

there will be at least 1000 visitors in at
tendance, and our committee will be
able to handle them like clock-work
excursions will be run to different
points of interest each day and we'll
informed committeeman will accompany
the visitors to give information.
We have placed an order for three
thousand badges. They will be nine

of the state of California. while Mayor
Snyder and United States Senator White
will speak on behalf of the city of Los

THE latter will hold a separate con-

their utmost to secure the prize. De-
troit, Mich, seems to have the lead at
present. at least they are more energet-
ic and are going about it in a more sys-

DEMURRER OVERRULED
Important Question in City Damage
Suit Passed Upon

An opinion was rendered by Judge
Van Dyke in department four yester-
day in the case CT L. c. Keeby against
the city of Los Angeles. and the demui-
rer to the complaint was overruled
This was an action that was brought
to recover damages from the city on
account of the appropriation of a por-
ton of certain lot for the purpose OF
opening and extending CASTELAR, street
northerly to Bellevue avenue. The COM
missioners who were appointed apprais-
ed the damage at S620, and this amount
was paid to the administrator of the
estate which was then in process of ad-
ministration and the amount was ac-
cepted in the name of the estate.
The plaintiff claimed that the admin
istrator had no authority to receive this
money and execute a deed to the prop
erty. After citing a number oaauthor-
ities to prove that the administrator
stands in the shoes of the estate to which
the money was paid, the court holds that

r. L. Humberton, well known rail-
road contractor of Kansas City, Mo-,
has recently arrived in Los Angeles.
He has been doing large amount OF
work for the Santa Fe system in Texas
during the past year, and from the fact
that he has been looking over the Held
at Randsburg during the past ten days
1t has led many to believe that he Is
figuring on the building of branch
road from Kramer to the new mining
town.
When asked concerning this rumor
last evening Mr. Humberton said;
well, I am not at liberty to state my
business at Randsburg, but you can
say this much: did not come to South
ern California for my health. l have
been constructing railroads the greater
part of my life don't know how to do
much else, and if l hear of chance to
make a contract for any such work
out here you may rest assured that l
am going to put in a bid for it. Yes;
I admit that have been informed that
after the Santa Fe assumes charge OF
the Mojave division. next month, they
contemplate making some extensive i'm
provements, and have also heard that
they may possibly build few miles OF
road, and if they do 1 will try and do
some of their work"
"Is it not a fact that you held pri-
vate consultation with prominent Santa
Fe officials recently in Topeka, at which
the matter of doing some railroad build
ing in California was discussed?" asked
the reporter.
That, sir. am not at liberty to talk
upon. I am well acquainted with some
of the officials and am on friendly terms
with them but as to any information
about their future plans on railroad
construction. I am not at liberty to en-
tighten you
Mr.. Humberton leaves this morning
for Albuquerque, where he will remain

THAT PRIZE FIGHT
Sepulveda Says He Went Into It as
Boxing Match

Paul Sepulveda, the 17-year-old youth
who engaged in lively ten-round fight
with Paul Caynor in vacant house on
Griffin avenue Thursday evening, called
at The Herald office last night to make
several slight corrections in the ac-
count of the mill published in yester-

fight was not over the affections OF
girl. but was entered into. by him at
least, as boxing match to see who was
the better man.
While the spectators understood that
they were to see ten-round prize night,
he had an agreement with Caynor that
they were only to spar, and 1t was In
tended as sort of an April FOOLS joke
on the assembled crowd by letting them
imagine that they were really fighting

Case Against the City--Today's
Calendar--New Suits and
Court Notes

IT was a thin story that forger L. {.
.-oyle relied upon in department, one
Yesterday to save him from states pris-
on. The jury saw the absurdt..ty of his
statements and it took just three min
utes for the members to make up their
minds as to his guilt. o. the 9Th of last
February Coyle, who gently came here
from Cripple Creek, Colo, passed a forg
ed check for $40 on Saloonkeeper Ed
Barrell at the cSruer of First and Will
mington streets, The check was signed
by Jerry IH.cch and Coyle claimed that
he was wSrking in the Hitch restaurant
and hao. been given the check in payment
for weeks wages. Barrell had known
the man for several years and had no
doubt as to the genuineness of the check
A few days later, when it was presented
at the Los Angeles National bank pay
ment was refused, and it was stated that
Jerry Hitch did not have any account
there.
Barrell then realized that he had been
induced to pay for a worthless piece of
paper and placed the matter in the hands
of Police Detective Steele, who arrested
COyle anu lOuStQ uliil III JAN. 10Y
the prisoner was tried before Judge
Smith in department one. AL Barrell was
the first witness and testified to the facts
as above Another witness was placed
upon the stand who claimed that man
very much resembling Coyle had called
At the Chicago lodging house on Main
street one night in February and had
asked to have check for $40 signed by
Jerry Hitch cashed. This had been re-
fused and the man left.
Coyle then took the stand in his own
behalf. He told a f1ilmsy story in ex-
PLANTATION of how he came in possession
of the check He said that he arrived
here from Colorado in the early part of
February and had but very little money
on reaching the city. About the first
man he met in Los Angeles was an old
friend named Sittle, who owed him $40.
Sittle promised to pay the amount at
onct and on Saturday night gave him
check made out to his order and signed
by Jerry Illich. Sittle said that he had
received, this for work. The check was
taken to Barrell and cashed without
knowing that it was forged Sittle has
not since been seen.
1t was the same old story of getting
stolen property from somebody else who
has disappeared, and the jury refused to
credit the yarn. Coyie asked for an I'M
mediate sentence and was given three
years at San Quentin by Judge smith.

Upon ohacial Advice and
Is Taken Home

About 10 o'clock last night the Gus
toners of the Palace at First and Spring
streets were treated to dish which was
not relished by the proprietors of the res
taurant. At the time stated woman
who had the appearance eof lady, well
dressed and stylish. with dignity Of
bearing, took possession of one OF the
boxes and by her actions and language
soon became the center of attraction, the
observed of all observers. Those in
charge endeavored to quiet her. and,
failing that, to have her leave the estab-
lishment, which, however, she refused
to do. All efforts of civilians being Of no
avail, Officer Miles Long was telephoned.
The policeman undertook to reason with
the disturber of the peace, to pacify her
mind, which seemed much disturbed.
But the woman was determined to re-
main in possession Of the premises and
to monopolize all attention, informing
the patient officer that she was lady
from Pasadena, over whom an ofiicer OF
the law in the city of Los Angeles had no
jurisdiction, or words to that effect.
Long was about to resort to force, when
the guest decided to relieve him of the
necessity.
A gentleman present said he knew the
lady, and that she lived at Fourth and
Hill streets; that he would take her
home in a carriage, which he proceeded
to do. He explained that she was sub
ject to such turns" and he knew of two
former occasions, one at the Orpheum
and one at the Vienna.

TO GET EVEN
An Amusing Quarrel Between Two
French Citizens

L
An old feud between two well known
French families, which has not failed
to bring all parties concerned more or
less prominently to the public notice
on more than one occasion, was recalled
by the insolvency proceedings in the
case of Jean Tribal, before Judge Clark
yesterday.
The difficulties between the Tribals
and another French family by the name
of Goytino date back to a time when
the friendly relations between the two
families were ruphured over disa
greement over a guardianship matter.
Quite a sensation was created at the
time by Mrs. Goytino horsewhipping
Mrs. Tribal in the hall at the court
house
Not long ago Goytino learned that
there was an outstanding note against
Tribal for S4S7, and he promptly bought
it up The latter learned Of this act and
determined to beat his old-time enemy,
and before the attachment could be lev
led against him petitioned the court to
have himself declared an insolvent debt
or At that time Tribal was running
the French newspaper, lie Progress, and
was supposed to own it. When Goytino
had this attached on the note. however,
he found 1t was in some one else's name
There was no other property that he
could levy upon. and it now looks as II
he would have to whistle for his money
Tribal feels that he has decidedly the
best end of the bargain, and Goytno
thinks that the next time he wants to
get even he will go about il in a different
manner.

HOTEL MITCHELL
McNaughton Thinks He Was Swim
died in the Property

oAoa IL 1AAO = AcPCAey
1t has been said that It takes all kinds
of people to make up a world, and there
can be little doubt that the credulous,
confiding individual. who is always
ready to be taken in and give up his
shekels without getting value for them,
has a right to his place on this sphere,
just as we'll as any one else.
1t would seem from the testimony in
the Hotel Mitchell case, on trial before
Judge Van Dyke, that the McNaugh-
tons belong to this class. The confidence
with which they regarded the statements
of the Mitchells when they were trying
to sell the hotel almost borders on the
preposterous. Mr. McNaughton was on
the stand yesterday and told of his rela-
tions with Mitchell previous to the time
that the contract of sale was entered
into. At one time when he was talking
about trading for the property he had
asked whether the hotel would pay dur
ing the dull summer mJnths "Oh, we
never have any dull r.lonths here" said
Mitchell. We're Always busy" Then
the credulous Mcr.caughto.: was inform
ed that there bad never been a summer
month, <er dull it might be consid-
ered, that che hotel property had not
PAID a II 1t income of 5000.
Wheh he was offered an inventory or
the furniture in the building at the time
of the contract, McNaughton thought
that it was unnecessary to bother about
the matter, as he was perfectly willing
to trust Mr.. Mitchell. Now he finds
things quite different from what he ex-
pected The hotel does not act as mag
net to draw the golden shekels as he had
pictured to himself Mr. McNaughton
has run the business only during the
busiest months of the year, yet he has
been losing money all the time. He has
now concluded that Mr. Mitchell must
have been mistaken when he spoke so
confidently about the golden summer
season. The case will not be finished for
two or three DAYS yet.
