BARBOUR SAYS
WILL PAY DEBTS

said Mr.. Porter, but he became deeply
involved in various real estate enter
prises which he was unable to swing.
"Mr. Barbour got into deep water
some time ago when he handled the
Julius Parsell property at Long Beach.
Barbour offered to sell these lots at
one-half down and the remainder in
one years time. About fifty lots We're
sold and Mr.. Barbour realized some
100000 on the deal. He failed to make
good February l by giving a deed to
the purchasers and this put him in a
tight place"
Will Try to Meet Obligations
At the creditors meeting yesterday,
julius Parsell and w. L. Porterfield
were present.
Mr.. Porterfield, who is a prominent
banker and capitalist at Long Beach,
said that he felt certain that his own
loss in indorsing Mr.. Barbour's note
would not be more than $4,000.
He was honest in his intentions,
but got in too deep" said Mr.. Porter
field.
This was the general expression of
sentiment at this meeting and while
all the creditors will endeavor to pro-
tect themselves legally none showed
any animus against Mr.. Barbour be-
cause of his financial difficulties.
A member of the law firm of Davis,
Kemp & Post said last night that moth
ing could be given out regarding Mr..
Barbour but unofficially it could be
stated that Mr.. Barbour would try to
meet all his obligations in a manly
way.
Mrs. Barbour came up to the city yes
terday and went to the Hotel Ports
mouth. She denied herself to all news
paper men and sent out word that there
was really nothing to say about Mr..
Barbours affairs.
Lot Purchasers May Lose
In regard to the Neville deal in which
Mr.. Barbour is said to have been
heavily involved, Porter & Sutton gave
out the following statement:
The Neville tract consisted of sixty
four lots. Barbour had a selling cou-
tract on the lots. He sold twenty
eight of them under sub-contracts, par
tial payments being accepted by him.
as is often done by real estate oper-
ators Parsell bought the remaining
thirty-siX lots from Neville about Feb
ruary /, 1905, and received a deed and
certificate of title to the tract.
Parsell then gave an option on these
same lots to Barbour, the option ex-
piring February /, 1906. The sale Of
some of these lots by Barbour resulted
i'm trouble, for he could not give a
deed 20 them and these purchasers will
probably lose what they paid to Bar
bour who did not pay Neville for them
This deal is, however, common among
real estate men and is in no way Grim
inal, but simply an ordinary real estate
speculation.

All Hollywood is up in arms against

Young Anderson was arraigned be-

the charge of violating the liquor or

fine of 5000 was imposed upon him for
each count. The total of $500 was
paid at once by him.
A scene was narrowly averted at
the trial. Hundreds of citizens who
sympathized with the young hotel pro-

room and urged the proprietor to fight
the case, offering to put up any amount
of bond for him until the case was
ready for trial. But young Anderson
refused to accept their generous offer.

Prince siIverwlngs and Fisher Boy,
Heavily Played, Bump Together

BY Jay Davidson

The feature of the races run off al
Ascot yesterday afternoon was the eX-
hlbition of rough riding given by that
premier of all that pertains to this Of
fensive feature Of the game, w. Miller
who bumped his mount, Prince Silver
wings, into Fisher Boy as the barrier
was sprung in the fourth race and al
most threw the Ross colt over the
fence, forcing him to pull UP and
throwing this heavily backed entry
out Of the running
Fisher Boy was on the rail in first
position, with Prince Silverwings Sec
ond. Before the start Prince Silver
wings kicked Fisher Boy in the head
and Starter Hoffman ordered Miller to
change places with his mount and
Fisher Boy.
This did not prevent the crowdlng
which delayed the start and Miller
again took his mount to second place
while Fisher Boy returned to the rail
Immediately after the barrier sprung
Prince Silverwings was seen to bump
into Fisher Boy and throw him into
the rail. AS Prince SilverwnigS bumped
Fisher Boy, both horses almost fell and
neither seemed to have any chance fol-
first money, although the Durnell colt
was faVorite.
After a hard run, Prince Silverwings
landed the show money and Fisher Boy
finished among the "also ran" division
burning up the public money which
backed Fisher Boy from 15s to IS.
The judges investigated this affair
and Starter Hoffman gave it as his
opinion that the humping was solely
the fault of Prince Silverwings and
that Miller was not responsible for it.

Charley Starts

The third race will be attractive be-
cause of the first appearance at As

Charley, which has not been out of his
stall for racing purposes since Sep
tenlber
Charley may go to the post and may
not, out his name in the entry list at
tracts an interest 10 the race that
would not otherwise attach. AS was
the case with Eugenia Burch and Lo-
tus. two of the greatest and classiest
racers that ever set foot on Ascot
soil, Charleys first performance may
not be anything like that of which he
is capable although he may win solely
on his class.
Cicely, the sensational performer
shown recently by the Kirkfield stable
is also in the list of probable starters
and the easy manner in which she
beat good field on her first out en-
ccurages the selection of this one to
repeat today.
Bribery needs only to run back to his
last out when he was beaten by Sir
Wilfred In record time, to win today
Lady King should beat out j. f

Similar Occurrences

1t may be true that Miller did not de-
liberately pull Prince Silverwnigs over
to the rail and deliberately bump Fisher
Boy and destroy all chances the colt
ever had of winning, as it is possible
for one horse to bump another without
the conniviance of its rider, yet the
rider must plead incompetency If he
would escape blame for such unusual
conduct by his mount at the start of
a race and before the horses have yet
begun to run.
If Miller is to be acquitted of this
act, as he was in the humping match
wherein Orilene was knocked to her
knees when apparently winning the
first race on the card January 8 and
Jockey Notter thrown to the track in
the path of the field of seven horses
behind her, from which position he
narrowly escaped with his life, the pub
lie will not indorse the verdict and ex-
onerate him.
To acquit him of either of the above
acts, for neither of which has he been
penalized, is adding to the flame of in
dignation which followed the fouling of
Luckett at precisely the same spot and
under the same circumstances sur
rounding the fall of Orilene.
Jockey Kent had the mount on
Luckett this day, December 81, and his
mount was lying in third place and in

place and apparently had a chance of
