Isn't there somebody with love,
real love, sure enough love for his
own race, to stand up in the pulpit
and preach the doctrine-that the
past is deud, ahd that they who
are now living in past are dead
too?
Isn't there somebody some
where who is willing to stand and
preach by his living daily exam

men can do when he receives Ne

merchant can thrive when the Ne
groes give him their patronage?

POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS.

By the way in which different
states are endorsieg bryan, it seems
as though we he lands at Castle
Garden, he will be rendered by
the democracy the Presidential
nomination on a silver platter.
By the way, what is the name
of that fellow who was the last
Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent? If we remember correctly
he was from some place in New
York state.
1t looks as though the popular,
able and brilliant young stalwart
Republican, Edward Horskey, is
about the man to take LaCroix's
measure this fall providing the
Democrats are foolish enough to
nominate him.
F. D. Coburn who refused the
senatorship rendered him by Gov.
Hoch of Kansas, is not the first
Kansan to refuse a senatorship;
Gov. Humphrey appointed the
Hon. Geo. R. Peck to the U. S.
Senate to succeed Senator Plumb,
and he too declined.
Senator Thos. II. Carter, it ap-
pears, cuts considerable ice in and
around Washington.
What became of the recent great
agitation for a primary election

Former LandIady of Missing Man
Says He Left Los Angeles Because
Of Fear of Earthquakes-Leave
Not Granted by Department

Maybe former Policeman w. A.
King did not intend to leave Los An
geles so suddenly" said a police Off
cial last evening, "for we have
learned from his landlady that he said
he was going because he was afraid
of earthquakes"
Despite all theories advanced about
the absence of the big officer, many
claim he owes them money. He did
not obtain a leave of absence from
the department before his sudden de-
parture
Captain of Police Broadhead said
about the King affair: king asked
for a leave of absence and I granted
it to him on condition that he would
secure a leave from the acting chief
and Mayor McAleer. King took the
application to secretary to the chief
Pendergast, and left it with him. Then
the patrolman left the city. That is
all we know about it,"
George Arnold, who lends money on
the certificates for wages of the city
employees, is credited with the state
ment that he intends pushing his case
against King. 1t Is alleged that King
borrowed money from Arnold on the
false pretense that he was still q
member of the police department.

SQUATTERS DEFY
THE GOVERNMENT
CLAIM RIGHTS ON EAST SAN
PEDRO LANDS.
Dredger's Operations Brings About
Issue in Which Los Angeles
Woman Figures as Leader
of Claimants

Los Angeles and beach city property
owners are interested in the squatter
controversy now going on in East San
Pedro.
All kinds of trouble is brewing at
East San Pedro among the squatters
on the made land from the sands taken
out of the bottom Of the bay with the
government dredger
Capt. NJ. ID. Crawford, who has charge
of the government dredger, says that
he has received notice from those in
authority to have all of the squatters
move their belongings off of the land
at once. Some of the residents on the
new land are prone to dispute the
authority of Crawford and say that
they will not take their houses off.
The captain gave them until today to
begin taking them off, but they have
done little so far except to hold a meet
ing among themselves and resolve to
not give in to the orders.
Marshals VIII Act
The captain states that he will report
the matter to his superiors and that
government marshals will have to at
tend to the work of removing the
houses and people, of which there are
some sixty-f1ve or seventy claiming
rights thereon.
The leaders are Mrs. M. D. Hamilton,
a real estate dealer of Los Angeles, who
lays claim to twenty-six acres, and
John Wray, better known as "the
mayor of San Pedro" who holds several
rights, some of them with large build
ings thereon.
Mrs. Hamilton has had her lands sur
veyed and has placed in the govern
ment land office In payment thereon
government scrip known as the "Valen-
tine" kind and supposed to be the only
kind which will be accepted by the
government for unsurveyed lands to
which 1t has title.
Mrs. Hamilton visited the scene of
the trouble and talked with the other
holders, advising them to pay no atten-
ton to the orders of Capt. Crawford
and that they would not be disturbed.
The outcome is awaited with much
eagerness by all and with considerable
anxiety by those who have everything
they have tied up in their holdings.
They claim that 1t Is a move to get
them off so that rich corporation can
gain possession of the lands instead Of
holding it for the government.
Capt. Crawford says that the squat
ters interfere with the work of the
dredger by building or making fences
which the sand is spouted.
The trouble eliminated Friday morn
ing when a force of twenty Salt Lake
road section hands and wharf employees
entered the disputed territory and
cleaned out all other claimants.
Monday night fishermen, it is alleged.
destroyed $50 feet of wire fence erected
along the breakwater to designate
ground claimed by the Pacific Wharf &
Storage Co. They cut the wire into
inch lengths and threw the posts into
the ocean. A cheap wharf building
erected on the disputed land was not
disturbed. The company has since
strung a single wire fence along the
breakw ter, which still stands.
Thursday night men, said to be fish
ermen, destroyed about 500 feet of fence
erected by Mrs. Hamilton of Los Ange-
les, which had been put UP to indi-
cate the boundaries of a 26-acre tract
upon which she claims to have filed.
