CANNON ACQUITTED.
Justice Davis Holds That There
Were No False Pretenses,

M. II. Cannon recently arrested in
Los Angeles on a charge of obtaining
goods from Heilrath Bros. of this city
under false pretenses, was tried and
acquitted in the City Justices Court
yesterday morning and another charge
OF obtaining money under false pre-
tences from a man named Jones was
also dismissed.
The Heilrath Brothers, who conduct
a grocery store at Seventh and G
streets, testified that late in March
Cannon visited their place of business.
represented that he was a switchman
IN the employ of the railroad company,
and asked for credit for a bill of GRO
ceries. They declined to give him credit
on such representation, whereupon he
produced papers to show that he was
a soldier in the war with Spain; that
he was entitled to compensation for
travelling rations, amounting to over
S4l, and that he had made application
for pension, he having been wounded
twice at Ell Caney and once at the bat
tie of Santiago de Cuba. Thereupon
they gave him groceries to the value of
s2S.oo and subsequently forwarded him
500 to visit San Francisco for the
purpose of drawing money due him
from the Government He, however.
failed to come back, and his arrest
followed.
In his own defense Cannon said he
told the complainants he was a switch
man and that he had been promised
employment in this city, and that they
advanced him groceries on the strength
of his papers showing that the Govern
ment owed him ration money, and that
his application for pension was then
on file in Washington, D. c. Cannon,
through his attorney, F. D. Ryan, pro-
duced his papers from the Government,
showing that his story as told the COM
plainants was true in every particular.
He went to San Francisco, borrowing
the money from Heilrath to meet the
Government paymaster and get his
money. but found when he arrived there
that the official had started to Manila.
He was further informed by the Adiu-
tant at San Francisco that before his
pension could be secured he would have
to again go before the Board of Exam
lining Physicians at Los Angeles and
pass another examinat ton, and that il
was for that purpose that he went
south. He also stated that his wife
had returned the So he had borrowed
from Jones.
Justice Davis could not discern where
Cannon had made any false pretenses
IN the matter, holding that even had

ants had declined to give him credit on
such representation.

ton are so limited that he cannot make
himself useful in new trades when hds
own is supplanted by iron fingers and
the trained arms and spindles of ma
chinery must work at a continually In
creasing disadvantage-and he will find
the conditions he faces as heartless as
the iron and steel of which the ma
chimes are made. It thus dawns upon
thinkers that the wisest political econ
omy is that which educates man
along broad lines, giving him the YER
satility and training that will lift him
above the condition of a mere hand. To
follow an obsolete trade is as unremun-
erative as the work of a sewing wom-
an who starves in a garret, while a
sewing machine makes more and bet
ter stitches in a few hours than she
can make in week; or, like back
woodsman who uses oxen in competi-
ton with locomotive. To be able
to do only those services which a ma
chine can render, is to be forever at
the door of want; and the only outlet
from the tyranny of pauperism, as a
worker in the handicrafts is to rise
above the plane of the machine-to do
something a machine cannot do.
IHe future Is a great guess, put II ~
apparent that the civilization of to-
morrow will want more perfect work
men, more artists, inventors, scientists,
teachers and people who improve and
entertain the race. All the hooks and
crannieS of nature of which it is pos
sible for man to gain more definite
and useful knowledge, remain to be
explored. So, in the wider leisure and
greater opportunities of the future the
masses will have a chance to earn their
bread and butter by giving to society
the service of their better trained fac
ulties, by contributing to the intellec-
tual wealth of the world, and serving
it on higher planes than manual toll,
which will be done more and more by
machinery and a small band of trained
wofkmen. ROLAND CLARE.

EVERYTHING HARMONIOUS.
COMMISSIONER OF HIGHWAYS
MAUDE TAKES OFFICE.
Ex- Price and Ashe
Turn Over the Commissions
Property to Him.

j. L. Maude is firmly installed as
State Highway Commissioner, and all
thought of contesting his right to the
position has been abandoned.
The commissions Of the members of
the old Department of Highways ex-
pired yesterday. and under the Act Of
1899, Governor Gage appointed Com
missioner Maude to succeed them.
Commissioners Price and Ashe We're
present yesterday morning when Mr..
Maude appeared and presented for
their inspection his commission. The
meeting was cordial, and the possibility
of a contest was not even mentioned.
Commissioners Price and Ashe pre-
sented an inventory of the property
and funds of the department, which
Mr.. Maude checked off, and the formal
tiles being over the latter took pos
session of the office and entered upon
the discharge of his duties.
The retiring board at its final meet
ing held on Wednesday conceived the
idea, owing to the uncertainty of the
law governing the matter, that there
was a possibility that one of their
number could hold over, regardless of
the fact that Governor Gage had ap-
pointed Mr. Maude to succeed them.
With that idea in view a resolution
was adopted by which Commissioners
Manson and Ashe stepped down and
out and named Commissioner John r.
Price to succeed them.
That looked like a contest, and yes
terday morning when Commissioner
Price turned over the office to his sue
cessor number of persons expressed
surprise.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Price
said that while the old board be-
successful contest, they had agreed
for the good of the department and
in the interest of good roads, to make
everything as smooth as possible for
their successor. Mr.. Price spoke in
high terms of Commissioner Maude
who, it will be remembered, was
member of the commission in 1S96-97,
with DR.. Manson and r. C. Irvine of
this city.
Commissioner Maude has appointed
temporarily, Sadie w. Paine of this
city, who for a number of years has
been bookkeeper in a local bank, Sec
retary Of the department; Agnes B.
Willie of San Francisco, ex-Secretary
of the Good Roads League, Stenogra-
pher; and Charles Prince of Pasadena,
Messenger. The Secretary's berth is
worth $500 per year; that of the
Stenographer $1,000, while the Messen-
ger, or Porter, receives $780, which Is
reinforced by $3.50 which he receives as
