it after it is manufactured into the
desired articles. Even the nugget OF
gold which is sometimes quite pure,
is covered with dirt and stains On
the outside that conceal its future COL
or, and all gold dust which is melted
at the place Of mining contains i'm
purities which go into the bar.
This is the reason why Mexican
gold, for instance, has redder tinge
than that of California, and the same
is true whether il be a piece Of mon
ey or of jewelry. The red tinge is
caused by the presence OF copper
and the paler tinge by silver, and in
the mints Of the different countrie,
the amount and kind Of alloy used
differ sufficiently to give different
tints to the money.

Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-24

The sympathies of the members of
the city council were stirred to the core
yesterday morning by the appeal of
Blind Johnny" Taylor, who appeared
before that body and pleaded with the
members to not pass the ordinance
making 1t a misdeameanor for the
lame, the halt and the blind to procure
their living from pedestrians.
Every winter the streets of Los An
geles are lined with beggars who sta
tion themselves on the sidewalk, and
displaying their deformities piteously
beg for aims. In order to keep the
streets free from this unpleasant fea-
ture the council last Monday ordered
the city attorney to draw up an or
dinance making it misdemeanor for
cripples to beg on the streets.
Some one had told Blind Johnny" of
this action and he believed that the
scant living he was able to pick up from
selling fruit and playing the hand
organ on the streets was being legis-
lated away from him by body of men
in possession of all their faculties and
who were not compelled to take thought
for how on the morrow they should eat
nor wherewithal they should be clothed.
In the high falsetto voice which is
familiar to every resident of Los An
geles and which seems as much a part
of the business life of Spring and
Broadway as the whirr and whiz of
the electric cars Blind Johnny" made
his plea, turning in every direction in
order to be certain that at least part
OF mis- words would be heard. One Of
the most pathetic features was that he
believed the mayor was in the room

POLICE CAPTURE BAD NEGRO
William Johnson, Long Wanted by
San 6ernardlno Authorities, Ar
rested in Los Angeles

William Johnson, negro long wanted
by the San Bernardino police on various
charges, was arrested by Patrolman
Glenn yesterday afternoon. Within a
short time after the arrest the police
were in possession of considerable in
formation regarding the prisoners
career.
Two years ago, while serving a Jail
sentence for a felony, Johnson was
taken i'll and was sent to. the county
hospital, While there the negro jumped
from the window and escaped. The
police believe that after escaping John
son robbed a band and three houses.
1t appears that he came to this city,
married woman named Mrs. Thomp-
son and has since lived here in hiding.
1t is now believed by the police that he
may be connected with several local
jobs. Not having sufficient evidence to
hold the man the local officers turned
him over to the San Bernardino author
tiles last evening.

APPEAL TO BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS
PROSPECT PARK RESIDENTS
IN MASS MEETING
Special Committee Reports That Graz
ham Was Willing to Meet Only
the Chalrman-condItlo
of Schools Discussed

The entire board Of supervisors will
be asked . to visit the Prospect park
district and inspect the conditions as
they exist under the supervision of one
of their number-Al Graham.
A mass meeting of Prospect park
residents was held last night at the
church and in calm and orderly man
ner those in attendance went about
bringing affairs officially to the notice
of the supervisors.
The special committee reported
through Chairman Hampton that Su-
pervisor Graham had declined to meet
the full committee, although he had
consented to look the ground over with
the chairman. Accordingly the residents
determined to appeal directly to the
board and a resolution inviting the su-
pervisors to inspect the conditions in
the district was adopted unanimously.
The entire community probably will
receive the board and personally con-
duct the members over the highways.

ATTORNEY is FINED $500
Wallace w. WIdeman Declared by
Judge Smith to Be In Con-
tempt of Court

Attorney Wallace w. Wideman was
tried on charge Of contempt of court
before Judge Smith In department of
the superior court yesterday and was
fined 5000 with the alternative of going
to Jail for 100 days.
The charge against Wideman was
brought by David G. Wilson of San
Pedro, who appeared as plaintiff in the
prosecution of Hannibal Spencer, a
mulatto boy, several weeks ago. Wide
man defended the negro, and Wilson
alleges that the young attorney ap-
preached him and gave him $40 to drop
the case.
He admitted yesterday that he had
allowed Wideman to buy him drinks
and a supper without the slightest
qualms of conscience and that he had
refused $40 which he alleged the at
torney offered him. He failed, how
ever, to give any definite explanation
as to why he had followed Attorney
Wallace Wideman around during one
entire day and why he finally accepted
500 and signed a receipt for that
amount.
He explained that he had taken the
check in order to produce it in court as
evidence that Spencer whom he accused
of having robbed him, was guilty, but
where the connection came in the at
torneys were unable to find out.
"You. have held this court in con-
tempt, Mr.. Wideman," said Judge
Smith, land 1 will fine you 5000, to be
paid within the next ten days.
Wideman will take his case before the
district court of appeals today. His
attorneys state they have good chance
for a reversal and they will fight for
such a verdict from the higher court
in order to completely clear their client
of any charge against him.

FATHER AWARDED CUSTODY OF
LITTLE MARGUERITE THOMAS
Three Year-Old Plays About Court Room Singing
Nursery Rhymes Until Court Decides
Grandparents Must Give Her Up

At the close of one of the bitterest
family quarrels in the history of the
local legal affairs, Judge Conrey of de-
partment of the superior court
granted the custody of little 3-year-old
Marguerite w. Thomas to her father
late yesterday evening, while the dis
appointed grandparents of the little one
left the courtroom, the baby clutched
at her fathers hair and laughed con-
tented little laugh and seemed satisfied
with her new friend.
The father had seen his little one
only once since she was taken from him
nearly three years ago, but the baby
cooed and both were happy.
When the Thomas case was called
yesterday afternoon the courtroom was
thronged with friends of the contending
parties. Peter Davies and his wife of
Monrovia represented one side of the
contesting family and Orville H.
Thomas, representative of one of the
big eastern railroads, appeared as the
sole supporter of his own claim to his
baby.
The little one took no interest in the
court proceedings which were to settlo
the destiny of her life. She had been
shuffled about in the deck of excite
ment too long to pay any attention to a
little thing like a court trial, so she
stood up in one of the uncomfortable
court chairs, kicked her lively little
heels against the woodwork and gurglel
at the Judge and her warning relatives.
Left Baby With Her Mother
Little Marguerite was veritable pic
ture of the fair field flower for which
she had been named. Her clothing from
head to foot was of the finest lace and
linen and Of immaculate whiteness.
Her pretty little head, covered with a
tumble of golden curls, fairly repre-
sented the heart of a marguerite. AMI
hand while she led an imaginary or
chestra with the other.
Representatives of the grandparents
side of the case were the first to be
called.
1.-THE child was left to us by its
mother" said the grandfather of little
Marguerite.
"My daughter, Frances K. Davies,
was married to Thomas in Peoria. They
lived together happily until the baby
was born, and nineteen days after little
Marguerite's birth her mother died.
1--WE were all present at her bedside
at that time. She held her baby close
to her for one last embrace, and then
she handed it to her mother. Take
care of my baby, mother she said. I
want her to live with you always and
you to be her guardian She said that
we should dress her baby in blue or
white for the next seven years and we
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-24

have kept that last promise to the
letter
when the mother died we came
west. Marguerite was too young to
stand so severe a trip as that, so her
aunt stayed with her until she was
months old, and then she was brought
to us in California.
1--WE have heard very little of her
father and he has sent only about sic
during the baby's life for her support.
Marguerite was left to us for us to
take care of, and we want to provide
for her as long as we can"
The father thought differently and
sat watching the progress of the case
while the animated legacy crawled
about over the witness stand to the
edge Of the bench platform. where she
seated herself comfortably and pro-
ceeded to dance her dolly up and down
on the carpet of the courtroom.
Child Given to Father
1t was a breach of court etiquette for
which any attorney . in Los Angeles,
despite his popularity with the bench,
would have been fined, but no attempt
was made to fine the baby and she made
pretty mouths from a pair of tiny rose
bud lips at the big bailiff and sang a
little nursery song. The tune was not
exactly in proper key but the witness
stopped, the attorneys ceased their
assault of technicalities and the court
gave ear until that song was finished.
The father took the stand in his own
behalf late in the afternoon. He adj
mitted having sent but little for the
support of his baby, but contended that
he wanted Marguerite with him. He
asserted that when he arrived in Los
Angeles several weeks ago and asked
for his baby the relatives of the little
one carried her away and kept her In
hiding for several days.
Thomas was married again recently,
but he asserted that ha would be able
to provide a much better home for his
baby than its grandparents could and
that the child belonged to him.
The court ruled for the father and
the grandparents and their adherents
wept while the baby trudged over to it's
new guardian and expressed a willing.
ness to go with him.
But question arose at the last mo-
ment which even the attorneys with
their great books of rules and laws were
unable to settle. There was not a tech
nicality nor a loophole for the able
attorneys to escape through and they
finally gave up in distress.
1t was the question of baby lingerie
that stumped every man in the court
room and the only way out of the
difficulty was to put the baby under
heavy bond and send her home with
her grandparents until tomorrow, when
with her trunk packed tight with cloth
ing she will start back across the con-
tinent to her new home.

DOG LEADS LOST GIRL HOME
Neiehbors Pet Enables Little Edith
Levy to Find Her Mothers
House

Dazed and confused by the busy hum
of the city and rhe new surroundings
7-year-old EDITH Levy of 726 South
Flower street wandered about in the
vicinity of her home for several hours
last evening and in all probability
would nave been unable to find her
way had 1t not been for a familiar dog
in the neighborhood.
EARLY in the evening the little girl
was sent to the market by her mother
When she wished to return home she
could not find the way. The child
stlayed from place to place until at
last spying a canine that belonged to a
neighbor she followed it and was led
to her home.
