they leave no doubt either as to the

however, is apparent that, notwith-

WARFARE WITHOUT DEATHS.

III John Holland, the well known con-
4 structor of submarine boats, says that
9lhc Is WORKING on designs OF new
type or submarine. which he says will
cripple and put out Of action every
hattleship II attacks without destroy
Ing 1t, and without, lie hopes, taking II
/ single life aboard. This looks like an
3 eNtiavagant expectation of On invent.
or, but IL half Of the promise can be
kept, naval warfare will be robbed of
most of its horrors. MIR. Holland Is
Working on the general Plan which is
being accepted by all of the inventors
OF warfare materials and that Is to nc
complish its object with the least de-
5shuation of life and inflictlon, OF suf,
sferlng. The enormous loss In the
modern war takes place in the shock
of hattie. There is no massacre of
forces in retreat or sack OF unresist.
Ing towns as In the olden days.
There is no doubt but that modern
inventions have done much to lessen
the loss OF life in land battles as the
modern weapons are designed to dis.
able without killing, when that is pos
sihle, and 1t is considered Infamous to
injure the visible enemy personally
unless necessity compels 1t. The
rules of modern land warfare take

ations believe impedes It's objects, but
the humane spirit has boon able to do
little for war at sea. This is still
sansuinary and shocking when the
beaten party resists to the end. If

dition of a dismantled ship, as Mr.,

WILSON FACES
TRIAL At LAST
ESCROW CLERK CONFIDENT
OF ACoUiTTAL
Evidence Favorlng Defense Is Intro-
duced, Hence State Secures Delay
to straishten Out Dis
crepancies

After a delay of four months, during
which the accused man has been
prisoner at the county Jail and after
the case had been granted seven post
Fred p. Wilson, former
escrow clerk for the Title Guarantee
and Trust company, yesterday appeared
before Justice Young of the township
court and his examination was begun.
1t has been alleged that amounts
probably aggregating $4,000 have been
missed from the trust company, and
the greater portion of that emhezzle-
ment has been charged UP to Wilson,
who acted as head escrow clerk for
the concern. But from the evidence
produced yesterday and from the last
step of the examination, when the
prosecution asked for time in which to
secure better evidence on certain
points, 1t appears as though there was
but little actual testimony against
Wilson to connect him with any crime.
Most Trusted Clerk
Wilson Is a young man and up until
the time of his disappearance from Los
Angeles he was one OF the most trusted
clerks In any Of the trust companies
here. His reputation for honesty was
of the highest and there was never a
thought OF examining any Of his books.
His sudden disappearance caused an
investigation and charges of embez-
element were made against him. For
several weeks he could not be found,
but he was finally arrested In New
York upon information furnished by
the local police.
While IN New York II Is said that
Wilson remarked that his salary of $40

Judge Owens, in Accepting Nomination for the
Superior Court, Declares Judicial Nominations

egation was ousted and the Owens del
egation seated.
Major Owens is public spirited; has
devoted great deal of time to gratu-
itous public and fraternal service. He
was appointed major and signal officer
of the First brigade in 1889, and in May,
1890, organized the signal corps thereof,
and was in command and connected
Herewith for about twelve years.
From 1883 to 1900 he was member of
the board of directors of the Union
league of Los Angeles, and was presi-
dent thereof.
He is past commander of the Los An
geles commandery, No. 9, K. T., a
Shriner, and a member of the Fraternal
Brotherhood.
He is now president of the board of
library trustees of Whittier, and Is de-
voting much of his time and attention
to the erection of a Carnegie library in
that city.
He is Roosevelt Republican and op-
posed to machine politics.
He was nominated for superior Judge
without the knowledge that his name
was being considered.
Judge owens is known to be honor
able, able, upright and above any inn
proper influence, and as the office of
superior Judge is non-partisan, electors
should vote for him irrespective of par
ty affiliations.
Madison It. Owens was born in West
ern Pennsylvania in 1852, and when a
boy moved with his parents to farm
near Waterloo, Iowa.
He entered the collegiate department
of the state university of Iowa in 1872,
and was graduated from the law de-
partment in 1878. He was Immediately
admitted to practice in the supreme
court and the federal courts of Iowa.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-01

1T is sincerely to be hoped, and tbs
a consummation devoutly to be wished,
that non-partisan sentiment may so
increase that in the near future judicial
nominations will be, as they ought to
be, non-partisan
This sentence is contained in Madi-
son T. Owens letter of acceptance OF
the non-partisan nomination for judge
of the superior court.
Judge Owens is strongly opposed to
dragging the judicial ermine through
the political mire, and for this reason
he has been opposed by Boss Parker.
For several years, up to 1899, Judge
Owens was a police judge of Los Ange-
les, and he presided over department
one with fairness and ability and with
out favor or fear. He then sought pro-
motion to the superior bench, and was
a candidate for nomination before the
Republican county convention in 1900,
but was defeated by Parker and his
followers for the avowed reason that
Parker could not influence the judicial
action of Judge Owens. From the plat
form of said convention the judge
fiayed Parker, and set forth the animus
of the opposition to himself.
In an article in the Los Angeles Times
he stated, among other things, that
rather than be judicial tool of po-
litical boss, he preferred to go down
into poverty and obscurity with his
own self-respect and a clear conscience.
Again in 1900 Major Owens desired
to go as a delegate to the Republican
city convention of Los Angeles, but or
ders were issued by Parker not to per-
NIT it,
In the primary election held at the
city hall the Owens ticket was de-
feated by stuffing the ballot box with
fraudulent votes, which fact was so
conclusively shown in contest before
the city convention that the Parker del
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-01

a day did little more than allow him
to live off a beef stew diet and that
he could not live that way.
Whether or not Wilson made that
remark has never been positively
learned, but since his return to Los
Angeles he has been existing off a
mixture served in the county Jail, part
of which was the sheriff's Scent
bill of fare and part the special dishes
allowed boarders who pay a small
sum for. their meals.
Not In Good Health
That the fare has not agreed with
Wilson is evident. for he does not ap-
pear in the best of health. Neverthe-
less he seems confident of being cleared
of the charge against him, and from
the appearance of the evidence yes
terday the state has difficult case
to prove.
The present complaint against Will
son involves about 5000, and it is al.
legged that he took that sum from the
escrow accounts of the company and
loaned it to the Carbite Light and Heal
company.
The alleged embezzlement is alleged
to have occurred some months ago.
In the charges made by the state
Wilson is alleged to have secured the
issuance of regularly drawn checI
from the company to the Carbite com,
pany for the sum of $500 on the grounC
that the Carbite company held an es
crow account with the Title Guarante,
and Trust company. For that reason
falsifying of the escrow account rath
er than direct embezzlement IS al
legged.
Admit Receiving Note
Officers Of the Carbite company yes
terday admitted having received tha
amount from Wilson, for which the,
gave note.
Attorney Earl Rogers, for Wilson
finally began to question as to whethe
or not Wilson could have secured tn,
issuance OF the check, and the evidenc,
at that point becoming decidedly Il
favor OF the defense attorneys for tn
state asked postponement so tina
they might straighten out certain evl
dence.
They allege that the testimony wa

and the postponement was grantee
