Wright owns one of the finest bull

LONG BEACH MAYOR TO
ANSWER GRAFT CHARGE
EXAMINATION OF r. A. EMO TO BE
HELD TODAY

The preliminary examination OF
Mayor r. A. Emo of Long Beach.
charged with having accepted bride,
will be held today before Justice Young
of the township court.
Emo is charged Jointly with Trustee
Losee of having accepted bribes from
certain contractors at Long Beach for
the erection of the new plasure pier
there.
1t is alleged that Emo, as president
of the board. was able to materially
assist Losee in getting certain resolu-
lions through the board.
When the old pleasure pier burned
and a new one was planned, 1t was
proposed to make the basement and
underpinning of heavy cylindrical piles
These specifications were drawn and
bids opened and 1t was found that a
certain contractor at Long Beach hac
offered the lowest bid.
He was awarded the contract for sew
eral thousand dollars and he immed-
lately sublet 1t to the Atlantic, Pacific
& Gulf Construction companyg
1t Is charged by the prosecution that
Losee later ordered the cylinrical piles
to be changed to square ones ut a diff
ference of $1,000, which II is alleged
he kept.
Losee was held TO answer to the
superior court at recent hearing and
Emo will be tried practically on the
same charges.

Next week at the Hotchkiss theater
1.-THE Rounders' will disport them
selves. This is the musical farce which
has been made famous in New York
by Dan DAILY, Thomas Q. Seabrooke
and Marie Dressler and which will be
given here for the first time in the
west. 1t comes brand new, sizzling with
hilarity from Broadway. Lottie Ken
dali will have ample opportunity for
her sweet voice and demure personal
ity in the role of Presilla, the gentle
unsophisticated Quaker, wife of the
Marquis de Baccarat, the roundest OF
all FOUNDERS. Thea, the leader of the
ballet, will be sung by Bernice Holmes
Much of the spice and fun of the affair
is based on Presilla assuming the tights
and limited skirts of Thea and doing
her stunts. The change from the little
Quakeress to the sophisticated ballet
dancer is startling but highly enter
tanning. Miss Kendall has all of the
piquant occurrences to make the part
very fetching. Lyman Wheeler, the
new tenor, Is to be the Marquis de
Baccarat, who, when he falls in love
with his own wife, finds that all the
other FOUNDERS share his regard for
her. The music is all new and bright,
while the fun goes the limit.

Entrance of San Juan de Fuca

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Officials of the
Pacific Coast Steamship company.
whose main office is at 10 Wall street,
are using every influence to bring
about the passage of Senator Piles
resolution providing that the federal
government erect a life saving station
at the entrance of the straits of San
Juan de Fuca, as a result of the wreck
of the company's liner Valencia
J. S. Ford, the vice president of the
company, said yesterday that his COM
pany would not rest until this danger
spot had been made the home OF
fully trained and completely equipped
crew of government life savers. He
added:
while the officers of the Pacific
Coast Steamship company feel keenly
the terrible loss of life on the Valencia.
we are certain that the disaster was
due TO no negligence on the part Of
the company. Our inspections proved
the steamer staunch in every way and
rigid inspections by United States OFF,
Gals supported us.
1--WE feel that Capt, johnson was a
good, competent commander and that.
even II he had lived, he could not have
been held responsible for the mistake
in reckoning which brought this
steamer on the reefs. He had been
with us twelve years and we must
remember that human judgment is
never infallible. The mechanical logs
on which the captains have TO depend
when running along the Pacific coast
in heavy weather usually overrun the
distance. From reports We have re-
ceived from officers who survived the
particular log underran the distance.
zone lesson the Valencia oiea stcr
must teach us is the need of NE saving
stations about the entrance TO the
northwest straits. We have great huge
that the government will take lmmed-
late action to establish a sation at

attorneys office yesterday and made
complaint against Henry p. Barbour,
the missing capitalist of Long Beach,

They contend that he is still within
the boundaries of Los Angeles county.
Criminal prosecution charging en-
bezzlement or obtaining money under
false pretenses may be filed against
Barbour by those women who it is
alleged were defrauded of their money,
but no such action was taken yester-
day, and Senator Savage simply dis
