for the purpose of blackmail, make vicious attacks

ings of w. r. Carter and his publishing associates
Except now and then, the customary foolish ones)
will appear in these columns.
Here is the testimony gathered by attorney
who was employed by the writer to 80 over Mr.
Carriers trial in the town of Dawson, Ca:
The testimony takes the form of letters, written
to an attorney whom this journal sent to Dawson
Ca, us before stated, to find out why Mr.. Carter
made visit there last May.
1t was the intention to PRINT THE LETTERS
IN FULL but after reading them carefully
and foreseeing the injury the publication of their
ENTIRE contents would do Mr.. Sutherland, who has
the writer's sympathy in the attack made on him
by MIR. Carter, the letters will be referred to only
they tend to prove Mr.. Carters turpitude. The
letters can be produced If necessary.
One of the letters is signed by the proprietor of
u hotel in Dawson, Ga and states that w. X. Carter
of jacksonville, Fla, registered at the hotel May
IL, 1905.
Another letter is from the Office of the clerk Of the
court located in Dawson, and states that W. Il. Car
ter applied for and got from the Sheriff CERT
FLED COPY OF THE RECORD of certain case
against p L. Sutherland which was prepared against
Sutherland about fifteen years ago.
Another letter is signed by j. r. Mercer, presi-
dent of one of the Dawson banks, and states that
some time during May of this year man was intro
duced to him w. II. Carter of Jacksonville, Fla.
that Carter asked him for information about p. l..
Sutherland telling him that he wanted the informa-
ton because Sutherland was about to engage in bust
ness with some of his (Carter's) friends and he
sentation he gave Carter information about Suther
lands record in Dawson.
Another letter is from DR.. Cheatham of Dawson,
and states that Carter asked him for information
about Sutherlands record in Dawson; that Carter
told him that he did not want this information for
prosecution or persecution, but for BUSINESS REA-
SONS ONLY.
The fourth letter is from Editor Raney of Daw-
son. and states that Carter told him that he in
Dawson for the purpose of looking up Sutherland's
record.
In order to dispel any doubt in the minds of
the most skeptca that these letters be produced
the following kilograms are exhibited. They were
procured for this very purpose.
The gentlemen whose names are signed to the tele-
grams were sent a message signed by Mr.. H. II. Bow
den the attorney employed for the Carter unmaskng,
in which they were asked to confirm the giving OF
letters to him about Carriers inquiries about p L.
Sutherland.
Here are the replies, sent through the Western
Union Telegraph Company:
Dawson, Ca, Nov. 10, l005.-H. e. Bowden,
Jacksonville: l gave you letter mentioned, and
stated only facts. W. B. CHEATHAM."
Dawson, Ga. Nov. 10, l906.-H. r. Bowden,
Jacksonville: I wrote you letter explaining Carriers
inquiries about Sutherland. j. r. MERCER"
When the writer met Mr.. Carter on Bay Street
in this city day last month, and accused him Of
Matchmaking Mr.. Sutherland, Carter said that he
simply went to Dawson TO GET INFORMATION
about Mr. Sutherland but that he did not use it.

WARM SOUP FOR
HUNGRY PUPILS
CUSTER STREET SCHOOL HAS
NOVEL LUNCH PLAN
BOWLS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Children to Be Supplied With Nutri-
tlous Food HyeienicaIIy Pre-
pared and DaintiIy
Served

Forty-six little school children with
each and every one of their respective
little stomachs calling aloud for bowl
of hot soup at midday make the con-
dition of affairs at the Custer street
school rather startling, according to a
report made several days ago by Mrs.
Estelle Smith, the superintendent.
Mrs. Smiths report to Superintendent
Foshay goes into details as to the suf-
fering incurred by the youngsters Fl
being deprived of their daily supply of
soup. She further outlines the plans of
great enterprise by which her school
intends to take the initiative in the
work of relieving dyspepsia and indi-
gestion among the school children while
at the same time decorations for the
school are secured
Superintendent Foshay has bestowed
his support on the enterprise and It is
only a matter of brief time until
the Custer street school will have the
distinction of being the only local
school fully equipped with cooking and
serving apparatus sufficient to feed all
the children within, a radius of several
blocks.
For some time children have been ap-
pearing at the school with only lunches
of cold bread and cheese, which, ac-
cording to the school teachers, are not
conducive to inspiration in child edu-
cation. Six children, the report de-
clares, have neither lunch nor the
money with which to purchase lunch,
and therefore have to remain through
out the entire day without food.
A Real Soup Trust
Forty-six children have the consent
of their parents to take five cents to
school each day to purchase their bowl
of soup and with promised trade Of
ut least $3.50, the teachers went to
work to form a soup trust. Three dozen
little blue and white bowls, each hold
ing the certain quantity of the warm
soup which is supposed to be about the
capacity of a child's stomach have been
purchased. Some charitable person has
donated gas stove to the new culinary
department Of the school. Gas is to

Following in the footsteps Of some
Of the women of eastern cities to con-
duct a crusade against corruption in
politics, Los Angeles women have eX-
pressed their views on the subject.
1.-The careers of all men who come
before the public for office should be
investigated" was the statement made
yesterday by Mrs. Caroline M. Sever
ance at a meeting Of the Los Angeles
Equal Suffrage association held in
the Woman's club house, and she was
only one of a large number of women
who think the same.
The women declare that the best men
of the land should be the ones to rule,
and that only men with clear and open
records should be allowed to enter the
race for political honors
Mrs. Severance also gave an interest
ing talk upon the subject of taxation
without representation, and Mrs. =. r.
Retchun, who is on her way to the
convention at Portland, declared that
the power to do things lies in the little
white ballot, and until this is secured
the energy and vitality used in accom-
plishing any work is TO a great extent
thrown away. Mrs. Retchun criti-
cized the position which Grover Cleve-
land has taken against club women,
saying that he speaks of a subject
which he knows nothing about.
"The man who knows the least of
women's clubs condemns them the
most" said Mrs. Retchun. 1.-The wo-
mans clubs are doing a great work
all over the country"
The committee is preparing to give
a reception in honor of Susan b. An
thony, Anna Shaw and other promi-
nent women who will come to Los

tion at Portland.

Complete figures of the cost of the
recent anti-saloon election are not to
be had at present, but some of them
are available Yesterday the council
approved the demands of the officers
of the election boards in 1OS precincts,
the total amounting to $51S4.
This represents only about half of
the actual expenditure by the city.
The estimate made by the city clerk S
Office is 1000. The officials believe
that this is a close and conservative
estimate.
At the city hall yesterday politicians
were making guesses as to how much
money was spent on the day of the
election. 1t was generally agreed by
all that the anti-prohibition forces,
both through the Business Mems asso-
citation and private interests. who hired
workers for the day. spent in the
neighborhood of 1000.
The amount of money which the no.
saloon forces spent June 2 can only be
approximated, but it is considered by
men competent to judge that $4,000 is
a conservative estimate. Thus it will
be seen that the no-saloon election
itself cost between $4,000 and $4,000,
to say nothing of the money spent by
both sides during the month of hard
campaigning which preceded the cleo
tion.
Competent and conservative politi-
clans place the money expenditure in
the anti-saloon campaign at approxi-
mately $15OOOO. The loss of time Of the
workers and general falling off in busi-
ness cannot even be guessed at.
The official canvass of the votes at
the last election by the council yester-
day gave S949 for the ordinance and
15,4s7 against it, showing majority
against the ordinance Of 713S

A fusillade of bullets was exchanged
between Detective Ritch and two Mexi-

tempted to hold up and rob the officer
at the corner of Ducommun and Center
streets.
The detective declares that three
shots were fired at him by one of the
hold-up men while standing only six
feet from him and two more were fired
as the robbers made their escape down
Ducommun street. Ritch says that he
emptied his revolver of five shots and

both of the MeXicans.
Detective Ritch was sent from the
police station about 10 o'clock last
evening in response to call from Miss
c. F. Menge, 1926 Center street, who de-
clared that she had seen a man with a
revolver around that neighborhood for
several hours. The detective, dressed
in citizens clothes, was walking up
Center street, near Ducommun street,
when he saw two suspicious characters
standing near the sidewalk in a dark
