STUDIES CALIFORNIA CROPS
Representative of Argentine Govern
ment Making Tour Through
Southern California

Charles D. Girola, a representative
of the Argentine Republic department
of agriculture, is making a weeks
stay in Los Angeles studying the vege-
tation and the different methods OF
fruit culture. Before coming here he
made an extensive tour of Europe and
will return there before going back to
Buenos Ayres, which is his home.
He stated that he is very much
impressed with the advancement of
Los Angeles and is amazed with its
rapid growth, which is far in advance
of ideas concerning it that are held in
Argentine Republic. He is of the opin-
ion that the climate of his country Is
suitable for raising almost all kinds of
vegetation that grows In California and
the southern states with the exception
of cotton. AT present about their only
vegetable products are wheat and fax
seed. Their greatest resource is cattle,
which are raised in large numbers.

ESCAPES LAW FOR TWO YEARS
Search of Aliases Brings to Light
Fact That C. w. Markham Was
Wanted by Police 1904

After having escaped the law for
nearly two years, c. A. Markham, a
cripple living at 915 West Sixteenth
street, was recognized in the city Jail
as Jack Mathies,' wanted to answer
to charge of battery preferred against
him by Wong Joe on January 2S 1904.
On Monday last Markham was ar
rested in the vicinity of the Arcade de-
pot on a charge of disturbing the
peace. On being arraigned before
Judge Chambers the plaintiff was un-
able to substantiate his claims and the
court released the prisoner.
In the meantime Captain Broad
head. in looking over his list of aliases,
recognized the name of Jack Ma
thfes" as being the alias of c. A. Mark
ham.
Captain Broadhead caused the re-
arrest of Markham at once. After con-
siderable searching of the records the
original unserved subpoena was found
in Judge Chambers court room. De-
tective Ingram served the document
on Markham at once.
When arraigned before Judge Cham
bers. Markham said that he did not
know why the officers had failed to
find him in January, 1904 The pris-
oner said that after having the fight
with the Chinese he moved to San Pc
dro. where he has since lived.
Markham was cited to appear for trial
before Judge Chambers Friday, Novem-
ber "a, at 2 o'clock. The court held
him on $25 cash bail or $50 bonds, in
default of which he was lodged in
the city jail.

DEMAND FOR PAY REFUSED
Employe of City Engineers Office
May Not Get Money for Draw
ing Copies of Seal

On the plea that the council has no
legal right to spend money ON itself,
Mayor McAleer has refused to sign the
demand of N. d. Blunt, an employe of
the city engineers office for $500 for
drawing copies in color of the city's
seal.
A few weeks ago the council voted
to employ Mr.. Blunt to draw nine
copies of the seal, one for each coun-
Gilman. Mr.. Blunt fulfilled the COM
mission, and in addition to drawing the
copies secured photographs of each
member of the council and arranged
them around the drawings and had
each framed, making a souvenir which
the councilmen were glad to get. His
bill was passed by the supply COM
mittee. the finance committee and the
council. but when it was presented to
the mayor he refused TO sign 1t.
Mr.. Blunt explained his difficulties to
several of the members OF the coun-
ell yesterday and they stated that IL
there was no other way they would
pay the bill out Of their own pockets.
They believe, however, that they are
entitled to these little mementoes at
the expense Of the city, as both Mayor
McAleer and Assistant City Attorney
Goudge have similar drawings, which
were paid for with city money,
