AN APPEAL TAKEN
Jurisdiction Over Soldiers Home Re.
ferred to Supreme Court

Notice was filed by the Hon. Abbot Kin.
ney with the county clerk yesterday of an
appeal to the supreme court of the state of
California from the judgment lately rem
dered by Judge Allen in the test case insti-
tuted for the purpose of getting definite
decision as to the right Of veterans at the
Santa Monica Home for Disabled Volun-
teer Soldiers to registration as voters in Los
Angeles county. Judgment, it will be re-
membered, was found for the defendants,
Thomas E. Newlin, county clerk of Los An.
geles county; Theodore Denmire, Charles
+. Croft, William j. Ladd, E. L. de Haven
and George NJ. D. Shingle, the court holding
that the United States had never acquired
exclusive jurisdiction over the lands pur-
chased for the Soldiers home, and that, con.
sequently the state still held dominion over
the premises, and the iunmates were en-
titled to registration.
The notice of appeal is directed to the
clerk of the superior court of Los Angeles
county, Flint & Barker, Works & Lee, Z. A
Meserve Oscar Lawler and w. E. Dunn,
attorneys for defendants, and is signed by
John d. Pope, attorney for plaintiff. 1t is
desired to obtain from the supreme court an
authoritative ruling as to the actual juris-
diction of the Soldiers home and thus deter
mine beyond peradventure the right of resi-
dent veterans to registration as voters in
this county.

Soldiers Sleeping Under Fire.

IT suppose some people will shrug their
shoulders" said a soldier who was in the
three days battle of San Juan hill, when
l say that 1t Is a common thing for soldiers
TO go sound asleep under fire, when they
are not permitted to return the fire, but
must he quiet. 1t isn't bravery or reck-
lessness, but the result Of intense excite
ment on the brain" In the same way
many men appear utterly Indifferent to
dangerous disorders of the stomach that
Hostetters Stomach Bitters would prompt

sleep like a top" as the saying goes. 1t
will give them nerves of iron. 1t will
overcome distressing stomach and bowel

The complaint against Jerry Quinlan,
charged with disturbing the peace Of John
Forbes OF 24lS Edgar street on October 18th,

There was a misunderstanding about the

never appeared On Saturday the subpoenas

to the police for service. On Monday Qun-
Ian was present in court but the other wit

Wants Back Salary Paid

George W. Magner has sued the Rex Oh
company and w. p Book for $2O0s. 40
Sl2S335 of that amount being alleged to bt
an unpaid balance due as wages, and $3.50
as funds advanced for the use and benefit
of the defendants. Magner states in hi:
complaint that Book is the secretary and
general manager of the company and, as he
is informed and believes, has at all times
been the owner OF all the capital stock. The
plaintiff has been working at a salary OF
500 month for 10 months and 26 days, dur
ing which time he says he has received only
about 500 on account. He wants the rest
of his accrued wages and reimbursement for
money loaned, which is in excess of the
total sum received as compensation.

Another Fight Coming

The Los Angeles Athletic club is arrang
ing for a match on the 18th between Jimmy
Trimble of East Los Angeles and Frank Nc
Connell of San Francisco. The latter was
recently defeated in ten rounds by George
Green. The fight made by Trimble against
Gallagher is still fresh in the minds of local
sporting men. Trimbe will no doubt adopt
that fight, as, while a policy of retreat
may be an excellent one theoretically, it is
very annoying to the spectators. The fight
should be a lively event, however. Some
interesting preliminaries have been ar
ranged.

the money on the counter. Harvey declined
to shade his charges, and a quarrel arose.
Witnesses for the prosecution say that
Anderson drew a revolver and struck Har
vey over the head with it, after much bad
language on both sides. This is not admit
ted by most of the witnesses for the defense,
who say that Harvey drew knife, or what
son got his revolver and drove him out OF
the shop, not hitting him, however. The evi.
dence seemed to have been doctored, and
Justice Young thought there was ample
proof to justify binding Anderson over to
the superior court, and this was done, bonds
being fixed at $1,000.

MANUEL'S TURN
Little Ricardo's Brother Charged With
Grand Larceny

Manuel Machado of San Pedro pleaded
not guilty to the charge of grand larceny
yesterday in the superior court. He is al
legged to have stolen watch worth $l5 from
Frank Brown on August 3lst. Manuel is
about % years of age, brother of little Ri
cardo Machado, who is awaiting trial for the
murder of Eddie Schmitt, his playmate, and
whose prosecution upon that charge, it is
expected, will prove one of the greatest
farces which have been brought before the
superior court OF this county Manuel, be
ing older than his brother, is not so much
an object of interest around the court house,
but the trivial crime alleged to have been
committed indicates an intention on the
part of certain persons in San Pedro to make
a thorough job of the Machados.

All day yesterday the attorneys engaged
in the trial of Harry Clark for the murder

poured forth arguments before the jury, and
a crowded audience drank in the oratory
with eager ears. Mr.. Shinn spoke for ar
hour or more in the morning, rounding ou.
his plea for the defendant, and then Mr.
McComas, the deputy district attorney who
has charge of the prosecution, began the
closing argument for the state Speaking
for an hour in the morning, he reviewed
some parts of the evidence, reserving his
more formal argument for the afternoon
At o'clock he was not yet done, and he will
conclude this morning. 1t is probable the
cause will reach the jury before noon.
