AGENT FOR CUPID
BROUGHT ONLY WOE
BRIDE, DESERTED BY HUSBAND,
is BITTER
Alleges That She Gave Her Savings
to Start Liege Lord in Business
and Then He Never Came
Back

Married last Sunday to a man whom
she had met through a matchmaker,
and deserted the following day by her
husband, whom she had entrusted with
the greater part of her savings, was
the unfortunate experience of Sarah
Silverstein, owner of little store at
209 Also street.
The man she married gave the name
of Isaac Hymen, but the name is dis
tasteful to the bride and she now re-
pudiates the name which formerly bore
tender significance.
THAT man deceived me-" said the
woman as she looked up from the
sewing machine over which she bent.
'I met him through an agent and
he was said to be fine man. We
got the license a week ago and were
married last Sunday by Rabbi Arnot,

many of the guests shouted, There's

Frank Finlayson, In a short talk,
said:
Much has been said in support of
the statement that the Democratic par
ty is party of conservatives. This is
not true The Democratic party, so
long as it is an entity, must be a lib
eral party for this reason: The farm
ers, laborers and workingmen in gen
eral of the nation are liberals, and
what those classes are, the Democratic
party is for; 1t is first of all a party
of the people.
"The trouble with the Democratic
party has been that the men chosen
by the conventions to be voted upon
by the people have not been men who
were of the type that everyone could
respect. In seeking a candidate for
any office, however unimportant, the
honesty, ability and loyalty Of the man
to the party should be known or de-
termined before he Is nominated to the
candidacy for any office.

only worthy of respect but who are
respected.
"A genuine Democracy is what is
wanted by the country. France and
Germany are both types of Demo-
CTdIlC VI SOVCI anu oWlIACl-
land is the most perfect example of a
Democratic government on earth.
1.-THE name of the party is not i'm
portant, it is results accomplished and
victories won that count.
"In the coming campaign which will
result in the election of a governor
of this state, we should have candi-
date for that office who can be elected.
I'VE want and must have if we hope
for success, a man with personal mag
netism who can make friends all over
the state and who can be relied upon
after he is elected to do his duty by
his state and his party"
The banquet was given by Captain
George Cake, president of the Demo-
cratic club, and with the help of Ma
than Cole, he succeeded in raising $4,000
for the maintenance of that organiza-
tion, which has been so powerful a
factor in local and state politics.
The other hosts were A. c. Harper
and Nathan Cole. Mr.. Cole was men
toned as a candidate for governor at
the next election and was favorably re-
ceived.
Addresses were also made by M. P.

trail committees; Milton K. Young,

cratic committee; f. M. Coulter, Ma

biting several animals, among them the

was cauterized later.
The dog then ran over to the head

F. X. Ruez. the head florist at the

ranging flowers, when the dog rushed
at him and without warning buried its
teeth in his right wrist, inflicting a
severe and painful wound. The dogs
teeth sank even through the heavy
coat sleeve. Ruez seized the dog s
throat with his other hand and Capt.

it is not yet determined If the wound
will prove serious or not.
The dog was taken to the hospital,
where an autopsy was performed upon
it in order to learn If there were any
symptoms of rabies.
The spinal column was removed, but
the doctors have not yet determined

EMO APPEARS;
ENTERS PLEA
MONDAY is TIME FOR THE
FORMAL ENTRY
Three Attorneys Will Defend Former
Long Beach Mayor, Accused of
Having Accepted a
Brlbe

After nearly a months delay r. A.
Emo, former mayor of Long Beach,
charged with having accepted a bribe,
was arraigned before Judge Smith in
department one of the superior court
yesterday and Monday set for the time
of entering plea.
The case was postponed three times
because Emo was not present TO be ar
raigned, and at last his attorneys ap-
him on hand at the next date set for
arraignment.
Emo will enter a plea Of not guilty
in the upper court as he did in his pre-
liminary examination before Justice
Young of the township several weeks
ago.
Attorneys Davis, Rush and Willis will
defend him, while District Attorney
Fredericks and Deputy McComas will
appear for the prosecution.
Pleasure Pier Job
The crime for which Emo will be
tried was alleged to have been COM
mitted in Long Beach last summer
when contracts for architect and con-
struction work for the erection of the
new pleasure pier were being made.
At that time a certain contract was
let to prominent firm of architects
in Long Beach. 1t is alleged by the
prosecution that Emo, acting mayor Of
the city, went to the council room
of the city hall and there met the
architect; that he talked over plans
for the new building and later accept
ed $3.50 bribe from the architect. The
contract was later let to the complain
ing architect.
In connection with the prosecution of
Mayor Emo, J. B. Losee, former trus-
tee of Long Beach, will be tried on a
similar charge. Both men were boon
companions while acting as municipal
officers and both are alleged to have
been mixed up In an alleged graft con-
nected with the erection of the pa
viiion.
Losee's Part
1t is alleged that Losee secured $1,000
as bribe from the Atlantic, Gulf e.
Pacific Construction company of
Long Beach.
When the question of letting bids
for the erection of the pleasure pier
was taken up by the trustees last year.
the bid for constructing the founda-
tion of the pier was let to the Atlantic
Gulf Construction company and 1t was
ordered that cylindrical piles be used
This order was later changed to a spe-
ciflcation providing for square piline
and 1t is charged that Losee got the
difference in price, amounting to $1,000
The trials of Emo and Losee will
probably be held within week Of
each other.
