SHE RAISED CAIN
Mrs. Gutierrez Demolishes Furniture
and Lands in Jail

ana LanQS IN jail
Mrs, Elsie de Gutierrez whose Spanish
dinners are famous, passed last night i'll
the police station rejecting upon the cru
city Of the world and the uncertainty of a
high female temper. Some time ago the
daughter of Mrs. Gutierrez disappeared,
and though the madame did her utmost to
locate the girl all heN efforts proved of no
avail. She brooded considerably over the
loss of the girl, who was quite pretty
miss, and sought relief in the flowing bowl.
Business did not continue as well as it
might, either Last Wednesday Constable
H. H. Yonkin placed deputy named N. r.
Miller in charge of her place on an attach
ment issued for E. E. Crandall for arrears
of rent amounting to $40. Instead of rally
ing in the face of additional adversities
Madame Gutierrez became very despond-
ent, and finally, on Saturday night, armed
herself with a cleaver and proceeded to do
a bit of cutting and slashing on her own ac-
count The madame's premises consist of
two houses at Nos. 800 and 1922 Wilmington
street and there are rows of cosy dining
rooms on both sides. The angry woman
went UP the middle and down on the other
side, raking the place fore and aft like a
thirteen-inch shell fired from the Oregon.
Miller had considerable trouble in taking
the cleaver away from her, and she did a
lot of damage before he disarmed her.
Later she secured knife and is alleged to
have cut the wallpaper and otherwise dam
aged the house. Yesterday she was ar
rested on a warrant charging her with
malicious mischief, E. E. Crandal1, the
owner of the property. being the complain
ant. She was taken before Justice Owens,
who set her trial for August IS and fixed
bail at $500. Madame's friends were not
advised in time to rally to her aid, so tbs
necessary bail could not be raised and she
had to remain in Jail.

A Brief Slugging Match on West First

The afternoon crowd on First street near

but the impromptu match did not last long.
as officer Richards took both men into
custody. f. H. Barmore of the Los Ange-
les Transfer company was one of the par
ties to the scrimmage, while Justin X.
Toles was the other participant.
Toles had taken umbrage over a state
ment Barmore had made regarding him
and the disappearance of a dog Barmore
had owned. He called on Barmore at the
truck company's office, No. 21S West First
street, to ask concerning it. Toles threat
ened to punch the head of Barmore, and
the latter suggested that they go out onto
the sidewalk, which was done. Toles made
a smash at Barmore and was struck in re
turn. The men were charged with disturb
ing the peace and then released on their
own recognizance.

THE PRICE RAISED
Oil Now, $1.15 Per Barrel-Producers
Organize for Protection

Vi dA1AC 1Ol IOI0CIlCA
The oil producers trustees met yester-
day morning and raised the price of oil
from 81 to $l.15 per barrel.
Secretary Strasburg said that this ac-
ton was taken simply because the demand
is greater than the supply. The exchange
sales amount to about 100000 barrels
month, while fully 10000 more than that
could be disposed of if the oil was to be had.
Within the last month the Oil Mems Pro-
tective association has been born, and has
reached a membership of between 1000 and
1900, which is made UP of all classes con-
nected with the oil industry. 1t has not
sought public attention but has been work.
ing quietly along it's own lines.
A prominent producer yesterday said
This association has been formed for
the general interests of the oil business;
it's objects are to consider means for en-
HANGING the trade, for handling, selling
etc, and for securing proper legislation
by the city authorities We do not regard
the present tax of 81 per we'll monthly as
entirely fair. In the first place we dislike
the principle of 1t. 1t places US too much
in the attitude of being offenders or an I'M
desirable class. Furthermore, when this
tax was first proposed 1t was represented
to us that it was for our own protection;
that 1t would secure better police service
in our district; also the services of an in
spector. Now, we are glad enough to have
an inspector, but we feel that the regular
taxes which we pay on machinery and
other property should suffice to provide
for this inasmuch as we have added great
deal to the city's revenue by the develop
ment of the industry. The inspector S
salary is about $176 per month. while we
pay into the city treasury as result Of
this dollar tax at least 5000 per month.
Enough money has been received from this
source already to pay the inspectors sal
airy for a long time in advance and we do
not like to be regarded by the city as
taxable nuisance, which Is, in the face of
this law, our present status.

ment with the council in this matter with
out resorting to law. and the matter is un-

YOUNG BUT TOUGH
A Candidate for Whittier From the
: Palms

Before Justice Young in the township
court yesterday morning Herbert Sprague,
a youngster of IL years, was given his pre-
liminary trial on the charge of burglariz-
ing the house of Wm Dodge at the Palms.
There were several other small boys mixed
up in the affair, but Detectives Auble and
Flammer, who had charge of the case,
found that the Sprague lad was the prime
mover in all the work and the others were
too young to in any way appreciate the
gravity of their offense. The Sprague boy
has been mixed up in several other like
dealings at the Palms and is an all round
incorrigible, over whom his parents haven't
the slightest control. The parents were In
court and testified to their inability to con-
troll the boy. and he was bound over to the
superior court. with bail fixed at $500. He is
a subject for Whittier.

A DELIBERATE SUICIDE
MRS. BRENNER KILLS HERSELF

The Wife of Wealthy Resident of

SAN DIEGO, July 26.-Mrs. Alice Aiken
Bremen of Milwaukee, who has been a
guest at the Horton house in this city for
the past six months, committed suicide in
her bedroom last night by shooting her
self in the head with a revolver. Her hus-
band, Hugo Bremen, is a retired real estate
agent at Milwaukee and joined his wife
here three weeks ago. They decided to
leave for home this morning and after
arousing Mr.. Bremen, the night clerk went
to the room occupied by Mrs. Bremen.
There was no response to his knock and
when Mr.. Bremen went to the room he
found her lying on the top of the bed fully
dressed. Clutched firmly in a death grip
was the revolver with which the horrible
deed had been committed. A small hole
at the back of the right ear showed where
the bullet had entered and slight discol-
grafton over the right eye indicated that
the bullet had pierced into the brain. A
letter was found on her bureau explaining
that the writer intended to take her life
and asking that her body be cremated. 1t
is understood that Mrs. Bremen was OPP
posed to returning home.
Republicans in Trouble
The Republican county central commit
tee met In this city yesterday and author
lied the call to be published for primaries
to be held throughout the county for dele
gates to convention on August 18th to
elect delegates to the congressional and
state conventions. The action of the
Democratic convention here on Saturday
settled the question of fusion and Repub-
leans are alarmed in consequence. The
fact that Congressman Castle will be re-
nominated for the Seventh district on the
fusion ticket has caused CONSERVATION
among the G. o. p. They realize that their
only hope for n show in the election is to
induce Collector Bowers to accept their
nomination. Within the past few days
quite number of Republican leaders have
been here from the north in the hope of
securing the ex-congressman's consent.
Mr.. Bowers is admittedly the strongest
candidate that the Republicans can set up
against Congressman Castle, but as he is
comfortably housed as collector for the
port of San Diego he is not seeking the
nomination for congress. He admitted.
however, to The Herald correspondent this
morning that If the convention rendered
him the nomination he would be obliged to
accept 1t.
