In the Matter of a Lawsuit

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
We desire to call your attention to an item
published in the Saturday morning. July
9Th, issue of your paper, concerning suit
brought by one Joanna Howard of Ham
ilton county, Ohio, against ourselves. tor
the recovery of $3O6.15. The item as pub
lished is likely to create a false impression
in the minds of your many readers in that
it insnuates that we have collected and
retained moneys which did not belong to
us, which is not true. The facts out of
which this suit has grown are these:
In February, 1897, we were retained
through Austin and Jane Howard of Xenja,
ILL.,, a nephew and niece of Mrs. Howard, to
represent her as we'll as themselves in the
matter of the estate of David Urmston, de-
ceased, late of Orange county. Cal, and in
pursuance of this employment we per-
formed legal services during the course of
the administration of said estate for Mrs.
Joanna Howard, and in December, 1897
procured for her, on application for par
tial distribution, the sum of $500, from
which amount we deducted $500 attorneys
fees and s6.15 for moneys paid
out for expenses, and paid over
to H. w. O'Melveny, attorney for
the estate, the sum OIL %lVV III lieu VI Tie
bond required from each of the heirs, and
the balance we RENTED by New York draft
to Mrs. Joanna Howard at College Hill,
Ohio, December T. 1897. After about
month or six weeks from the time we re-
mitted the above draft we learned for the
first time that Mrs. Howard claimed that
she had not employed us. We did not re-
ceive any communication from Mrs. How
ard direct until March of 1885, which was
the first notice from her that she demurred
to our acting as her attorneys. Having
already performed all the legal services
necessary and the estate being settled she
having refused to pay for our services, we
brought suit in the superior court of Or
ange county to recover the sum of $41SS5
balance due us for legal services after de-
Quoting therefrom the $306.15.

For Consolidation of Parties

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
At the recent county convention of the Peo-
pies party the committee on resolutions
unanimously reported some resolutions ia
voring a complete consolidation of all re-
form elements into a single party, with
complete unity in all aggressive reform
work. 1t seemed to me that this would
give our cause the greatest possible effic-
iency.
1t still seems to me that this is the only
method that offers much hope of success,
and think that the future will show suf-
fcient patriotism in the reform parties to
put aside party pride, and, if need be, stand
ready to sacrifice party to country and
make one strong, victorious host out of

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Los Angeles at Omaha

It is worthy of note that Los Angeles is
the place that is always mentioned when
reference is made to the California display
at Omaha Nothing is heard about any
other locality. The explanation is obvious.
Los Angeles county has a superb exhibit
at the exposition. It was arranged very ar
tistically and is well maintained. What
Los Angeles is doing at Omaha could have
been done by every other county in South
ern California and with like benefit. The
only difference is that Los Angeles has
taken advantage of an opportunity which
the others have practically ignored.-San
Diego Union.

The Atlanta Constitution believes that
this war has wiped out the last vestige of
sectional feeling in this country; that ''ev-
cry smoldering animosity between south

it is sincere expression and reflects the
truth, we have every reason for believing.
The war, then, has not been without some
compensation thus far.-Sacramento Rec

Some recent developments. however.
lead me to think that this contamination
cannot be achieved durino this campaign
without too great sacrifice. and SO de-
sire to see the forces of reform move to-
gether, although in clumsy and wasteful
fashion, rather than abandon the field to
the corrupt influences that otherwise
would dominate the political field.
But 1 believe that movement for con-
solidation should be started Immediately
after the present campaign with the dis
tinct purpose of no longer temporizing in
the face of great danger with such poor
political makeshifts as our present divided
condition makes necessary.

MARY LINGARD, Woodstock, Ont.
DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-illa has won its way

of its friends; those who have tried il and

with its purifying and vi,aIizing action ON

is absurd. so absurd that it cannot

HAVANA, Feb. 26.-The United

ned yesterday taking the testimony of
the divers who have been working in
the wreck of the Maine. Those sent
here from the battleship Iowa and the
cruiser New York were examined
The court has decided against any
attempt TO raise the ruined battleship
The members are convinced that it
would be useless, as she could never
be kept afloat, and the Spanish au-
thorities here will be informed that if
they wish the wreck removed from the
harbor they must attend to the work
themselves. This decision gives q
better idea of the terrible havoc
wrought in the Maine than columns
Of description could do
Twenty unknown bodies Of the crew
were recovered from the wreck by
the divers yesterday. The bodies
were frightfully burned and mangled
and it may be impossible to ever iden-
tify some Of them.
Holzer, who made such . brave
fight, died in the hospital to-day.
The wreck of the Maine is slowly
but surely sinking into the mud.
Before the hull could be raised it
would be necessary to move the guns
and deck debris For lack of proper
appliances. practically nothing in this
line has been accomplished Aside
from the officers cabin effects, the
salvage thus far has been pitifully
small The cloudy weather and rain
made the work of the divers unsatis-

done
Late yesterday the paymaster's safe,
with see, 500 and his papers, was taken
from the wreck. Beyond this, NO
statement is made as to the value and
nature of the contents.

electric lamps are of little use to the
divers, as the light is faint and uncer-
certain. and to hold them takes one of

WASHINGTON. Feb. ga The atten-

attracted to the statement made BY
representatives Of the Spanish govern
ment to the effect that there were NO
mines or torpedoes of any kind in
Havana harbor. 1t can be said that
this statement exactly agrees with
the inquiries that have been under
way for many months by agents Of
our government, for so far it is said
they have been unable to find the
slightest evidence Of the existence of
any plan of defense in the harbor by
means of mines or torpedoes, much
less to locate them as has been re-
ported in some quarters. OF course
the effect of this statement If it is to
be accepted as conclusive on that
point, is almost certain to negative
the superstition that the disaster re-
suited from other than accidental
causes, As the almost unanimous tes-
timony Of experts here, based ON the
history of torpedo work, is to the
effect that no single torpedo of any
known type could have caused the
terrific wreck Of the Maine.
