CANDY vENDER is FINED
Patrolman Demonstrates to Court
How PeddIer Obstructs
the Sidewalks


When Tony Adams was on trial be-
fore Police Judge Austin yesterday
on charge of obstructing the sidewalk,
he raised howl of Indignation when
his tray of candy was brought into
the court room as an exhibit.
A few pieces of chewing candy snug
gled in one side of the long tray. There
was perhaps half a pound of sweets
left
"Oh, judge" exclaimed the defendant,
somebody has stolen my goods. When
l was taken to the police station.
possessed nice lot of candy. Where
has it gomez
The court advised Tony to see the
chief of police and make his complaint
there. The trial then proceeded.
Patrolmap McCart testified the de-
fendant sells his wares on South Main
street and blockades the sidewalks as
he darts here and there swinging his
big tray in front of him.
A leather strap passed about the
shoulders of Tony, the officer said, gave
the vender an opportunity to use his
hands in wrapping up purchases and
making change.
"You might illustrate to the court
how the defendant proceeds in the
Streets" suggested City Prosecutor
Beebe.
Officer McCart fastened the leather
strap about his bulky shoulders and at
once "butted' into Bailiff Rosso with
the sharp edge of the tray. In turning
around, the tray nearly knocked Tony
off his feet
Il think that will show something Of
the Objectionable manner in which the
defendant uses that big wooden box"
remarked the prosecuting attorney.
The court fined Tony IS on conviction
of obstructing the streets and advised
him in the future to cry his wares
from the curbing.

WOMAN FINDS
BODY OF A MAN.
GREWS0ME DISCOVERY MADE
BY ROADSIDE
James M. Hyde, Proprietor Of the
Crystal Spring Water Company,
ls Supposed to Have Conn
nnltted Suicide

The body Of James M. Hyde, pro-
preitor Of the Crystal Spring Water
company, formerly living at 164S Nor
ton avenue, was found lying by the
roadside near Fourth avenue and
Twenty-seventh street, yesterday
morning by an unidentified woman.
Detective Grant made an investiga-
tion.
He found a vial, containing a few
drops of carbolic acidg lying not far
from the body, and acid burns were
plainly noticeable about the mouth.
The body was removed to Garrett g.
Co.'S undertaking establishment and
the coroner notified.
1t was learned that Hyde left his
home Monday and failed to retrun that
day. 1t was said he was despondent
because of Illness and was worried
over financial reverses.
Once a SalVatonist
The man was about 5S years of age
and at one time he was prominent in
Salvation army circles. The police be-
lieve he committed suicide because of
his troubles, although no note was left
by him slgnifying any intention to
take his life.
Archie King of 1715 Grafton street,
an employe of the company, said the
affairs of Hyde were involved and that
he was troubled al times by temporary
mental disturbance owing to a severe
injury sustained years before, when
he suffered fractured skull.
AS far as known Hyde left no family
in this part of the country.
An inquest probably will be held
today

DECAPITATION IS
Bosses DECREE
NOT ONLY PARDEE BUT AN
DERSoN MUST GO
Lieutenant Governor IL Marked for
Slaughter by the Machine Men
Because He Has Remained
Loyal to His Chief

Governor--James N. Gillett of Hum
boldt.
Lieutenant governor-warren r. Por-
ter of Santa cruz.
Attorney general--U. S. webb, in
cumbent.
This is the Republican machine slate
thus far arranged by the employers
of the bosses. How much nearer the
slate completion has not been disclosed
to those on the inside of the machine
doings, but the general supposition Is
that it has practically been decided
upon from top to bottom.
GOV. Pardee's political doom has been
sealed. and with the chief executive
goes Lieutenant Governor Alden An
derson. The power behind the machine
has decreed the decapitation of the
two men now at the head of the state
government, and their heads will fall
into the same basket at Santa Cruz
next week.
Suspicious of Pardee
Pardee must go because the "organ-
izstion" has become suspicious that ne
has been making an effort to break
away from the bosses, and Anderson
is to be sidetracked for the reason that
he has seen fit to remain loyal TO his
chief. The organization is determined
that no one shall be nominated to an
important position on the Republican
ticket who is not the willing tool OF
the machine, and AnderSon's continued
friendship for Pardee has convicted
him of disloyalty to the bosses, re-
gardIess of any services heretofore rem
dered.
Atternev General Webb has broken
away from the Pardee forces and made
his peace with the bosses, and as a
result he has been slated for renom-
ination.
Warren Porter the banker, had a
fairly good backing for governor, but
the machine induced him to take the
second place. possibly with the promise
of first place next time If Gillett can
maneuver United States Senator Per-
kins out of his seat.
Hayes Still in the Race
j. o. Hayes remains in the fight for
governor after having turned down an
offer of the nomination of lieutenant
governor.
Walter Parker will succeed in reward
ing for faithful services former Judge
]. w. Mckinley of Los Angeles by
having Mckinley slated as chairman
of the convention.
1t is said that the name of W. S.
Kingsbury, assistant city engineer of
Los Angeles, has been favorably con-
sidered by the bosses for the nomina-
ton of state surveyor general, but it
is said that as yet he has not received
the official 60 K"
Half a dozen or more are after the
job of state printer, now held by w.
w. Shannon. Carlos L. Smart of Los
Angeles is one of the aspirants.

Good Musical Season Promised

l.. E. Behymer, who is now in New
York city securing musical talent for
this city and the coast, finds that it
was absolutely necessary to be on the
ground to secure the big things in
music for this year. Many of the solo
lists had absolutely refused to make
the coast tour owing to the great dis
aster in San Francisco, and number
of the eastern managers were under
the impression that it wound not pay
them to send any artists west this
season. Mr.. Behymer has convinced
them, however, that this part of the
coast is all right and has secured the
cream of the musical talent. Among
pianfsts, Rosenthal is mentioned; also
Lhevinne, the new Russian who Gre
ated a sensation in New York last
season. Gabrilowitch is also a pos
sible visitor. Among the singers Schu-
nlann-Heink Nordica and Yaw strive
for first place; in male voices, Co
gorza the celebrated baritone heads the
list. Among instrumentalists Arthur
Hartman challenges Ysaye to a first
place in the hearts of the admirers OF
violin music. Hekklng stonds alone as
the only 'cellist coming this season,
unless Elsa Ruegger will consent to
make a tour late in the season. The
Give Mead quartet is the only as
pirant for chamber music honors. One
artist who is now demanding the SER
ious attention Of the music lovers of
America as well as Europe Is Mile.
Elizabeth Parkins, student under Nine.
Marchesi Of Paris, under whose direc-
tion she made her debut. Last season
she supported Nine. Melba during her
Australian tour. Mr.. Behymer will in
troduce this new stellar find early in
the season in this city.

OF BREAKING LIQUOR LAW

A jury in Police Judge Roses court
yesterday found Charles F.. Kelly, a
waiter at the New Bristol in South
Los Angeles street. not guilty of violat-
ing the Sunday liquor selling ordinance.
Kelly was arrested on July "a, at the
time raid was made upon a number
of saloons, suspected by the police of
violating the liquor law,
The jury evidently did not take the
same view of meals" as did the
prosecuting attorney.
Counsel for the defendant admitted
liquor was sold to thirsty Sunday
guests at the New Bristol, but en-
deavored to prove that bona hde
lunches were also served TO each GUS

THREATEN TO KILL
Mr.. MULH0LLAND
SAN FERNANDO RANCHERS
ARE HOSTILE
Superintendent OF Los Angeles Water
Works Receives Many Hostile
Letters Telling Him That
He Is Doomed

Il go into the San Fernando valley
two or three times a week, and 1 ex-
pect to be shot some day." said William
Mulholland, superintendent of the city
water works, yesterday.
1t develops that Mr. Mulholland, dur
ing the past two months, has received
twelve or fifteen anonymous letters,
Threatening his life.
These letters are supposed to have
come from San Fernando valley ranch
ers, who hold Mulholland directly res
ponsible for the permanent injunction
issued by Superior Judge Conrey, sew
eral months ago, restraining the ranch
ers in the San Fernando valley from
taking water from the Los Angeles
river or from sinking wells which would
pump water draining into the river.
The ranchers say they will shoot to
kill rather than abandon their wells -
said Mr.. Mulholland yesterday. THE
ranchers are sinking new wells and
helping themselves to the city's water.
and there is liable to be very serious
trouble in the near future.
Becoming Serious
After the Injunction issued by Judge
Conrey l gave the ranchers permission
to use the city's water, as they had
planted their crops and l did not want
, see them lose money.
1--WE are using every drop we can get
from the Los Angeles river, the Mar
rows and the Slausson avenue wells,
and were it not for the respite on Sun
days the city would soon be suffering
for water. The city is consuming
about 3S0OOOOO gallons of water every
day. OF this amount we get $4,000, O0O
from the Los Angeles river. while San
Fernando ranchers take from $1,000,
600 to 1S,OOO,O0O gallons daily from the
same source
THE Los Angeles river has less water
i'm 1t than ever before, and the situa-
tion so far as the city is concerned is
very grave
1t is expected that the police depart
ment will make an investigation tc
discover. il possible. the writer's of the
Threatening letters.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Benefit for Don Chick

The benefit given at the Burbank
theater for Don Chick, late manager
of the Hotchkiss yesterday, was a
success both financially and artistical-
ly. Hundreds more tickets were sold
for it than the capacity of the house
permitted, and a goodly number of
them were used. The bill was made
up of specialties from almost all the
companies here, and was varied and at
tractive. Everyone connected with the
affair was a volunteer, even the use
of the house having been given free.

REDHOT STOVE PROVES TOO MUCH
FOR SEVERAL EVICT1NG OFFICERS

the sidewalk, although they had been
putting It there for several hours, The
house was still filled with furniture and
when one Of the deputies took hold OF
dresser to remove it he became aware
Of the fact that he had handled that
piece Of furniture before because he
placed his hand over the rough end
Of tack projecting from the corner.
An investigation was made and the
deputies found that while they hurried
the articles of furniture out OF the
front door the three male members
OF the family, pretending to carry the
stuff to a place of safety simply car
ried the furniture around TO the back
door and into the house again.
Deputy Adams Appears
In despair the deputies telephoned
for Deputy Jack Adams, and the little
deputy was hurried to the scene of
battle. Adams has the enviable record
of being the only officer who ever
succeeded in ejecting General Moore of
the Union army from his quarters, and
when he swooped down on San Fer
nando street there was blood in his eye.
He carried the things out and he
carried them out quick, and other
deputies watched the back door to see
that nothing returned.
But the members of the Hernandes
family knew few things. Their faith
ers before them had been wise and so
the representatives built a good roar
ing fire I'm the big kitchen range. The
deputies stood for that for a while and
then were forced to withdraw to cool
off.
Then they returned. but try as they
would they could not get hold Of
the redhot stove. The fire was in the
lower CRATE Of the range and water
could not be poured in without burst
ing It, In despair the deputies armed
themcelves with papers and managed
to catch hold of a medium cool part
of the stove and dragged the range to
the middle of the kitchen floor.
choked With Smoke
Promptly the pipe fell Off and the
smoke poured out i'm the room choking
the deputies and sending them hurry
ing to the open air. For a second time
they returned, and. with determination
to do or die, they seized the stove and
tried to carry it out. Their hands were
protected by papers, but the heat
burned through and blistered Deputy
Adams fingers and with a howl he
let his corner of the stove drop and
stuck the bistered fingers in his mouth.
incidentally in falling the corner of the
stove rested on another deputy's foot,
and pandemonium reigned.
While the deputies were releasing
their tortured companion from under
the stove the range turned over and
the hot Goals set fire to the floor of
the kitchen. Buckets of water were then
dashed on the stove and all, and the
members of the Hernahdes family re-
moved all that was left of the stove.
The officers then nailed up the doors
of the house and left for nearby drug
stores for medical treatment.

Willy MExICANS GIVE DEPU-
TIES WARM TIME
Furniture Carried Out the Front Door
Is Returned by Occupant
From the Rear-Rsnee
Proves Sooreher

AS a result Of an attempt to forcibly
eject redhot stove from the humble
home of a Mexican family on Buena
Vista street yesterday afternoon, Dep
uty Constable Jack Adams and other
members of Constable De La Monte's
stan are suffering with burned hands,
while the residents of the neighborhood
OF 500 Buena Vista street are highly
indignant over the troubles of the fam
lily of Librado Hernandes.
Because of lack of funds Hernandes
has been unable to pay the eight slmo-
leuns required for the monthly rental
of his humble 'dobe. When rent day
came around there we're no funds. BY
strenuous efforts he managed to raise
S. of the required $50 of back rent, and
he paid that to the constables last Sat-
urday.
Yesterday on a writ sworn out by the
Spring street company, a deputy went
to the Hernandes home and told Her
nandes to produce the rest of the
money or leave. Hernandes supported
by various members of his family, ex-
plained that whereas he had paid FIVE
dollars he had not the wherewith left
with which to move and that there
fore he could not move.
Much WaiIing Follows
With the aid of an interpreter the
deputy then explained the nature of
a writ of ejectment and the trouble be-
gan. There were three full-grown men
in the house, all willing and capable
of out-talking Boss Parker, and all
started in at once. Also two women
and three children in the family fur
nished the minor chords, and the grief
and wailing of the ancients over their
lost in battle would have sounded like
an ordinary meeting of the deaf mute
society in comparison with the brand
turned loose on the deputy. He stood
it for five minutes and then telephoned
for help. A deputy responded and the
two men proceeded to begin to carry
the furniture to the street.
In the meantime the immediate neigh
bors for four or five blocks around
heard the argument and hurried to
the scene and added their lamentations.
Carried in Again
Then the deputies proceeded with
their work and kept at it for two hours.
When they finally took an inventory
of stock they were amazed to find that
not a single piece of furniture was on

ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
IS THEIR PLAN
INDEPENDENTS ARE PERFECT
ING ARRANGEMENTS
Non-Partisan County Ticket Said to
Be certainty-committee
VIII Be Announeed Next
Week

Assurance was given yesterday by
one of the leaders in the independent
county movement that by the first of
the coming week, at the latest affairs
would be in such shape that the per-
Sonnel of the promoters can be an
nounced.
An active campaign is contemplated,
and it is expected that meeting of
the general committee will be held dur
ing the first of the coming week, at
which will be appointed an executive
committee to submit to the general
committee the names of those deemed
worthy of nomination or Endorsement
for county offices.
Conferences are being held daily by
those interested in the movement and
acquisitions to the ranks of the indie
pendents constantly are being made.
1t is the intention to have the gem
eral committee composed of two hun
dred men, regardless of politics, who
believe in the conduct of county af-
fairs on business basis and removed
entirely from corporation influence.
From this committee will be chosen
an executive committee of twenty,
which will make recommendations for
nomination or Endorsement and which
will conduct the campaign.
1t was emphatically stated vest err
day that the proposed independent
movement was assured and that moth
ing now could prevent the placing of
a non-partisan county ticket in the
field.
Regular Republicans, or those who
stick to the machine through thick and
thin, are displaying considerable anx-
iety over the non-partisan movements,
both city and county. and as a con-
sequence they will begin their cam
! paign earlier than otherwise
City Movement Delayed

mentioned in connection with a place
