 in the Storey cotton transaction, in volving the loss of several million dol. lars, was in Cincinnati during the day, but disappeared before dark
 N Last year the Storey Cotton com pany's failure was announced, with liabilities of about $7,0O0,000. Indict- iments were returned against Stone and F. Ewart Storey, president of the com pany. Both had disappeared, how ever, as also had Mrs. Sophia Lang, the cOmpany's stenographer. Detec- tlves failed to find them, although they were heard of in various parts of the world Stone was reported to be in this city and was finally located and subjected to an interview.
 { He said Paris was now his home and that he had several big deals on hand. Asked if he was afraid of arrest, he said.
 {. Well. I have never been arrested yet. More Americans in Paris know me than know the American ambassa- dor. I am not trying to hide. I am not wanted now by the federal officers, if ever was wanted by them. { T sailed abroad week before the Storey Cotton company went into bank ruptcy Uncle Sam has no case against me. was not connected with the con- ,cern at all. I knew nothing of being indicted until I arrived on the other side.
 T am charged with misuse of the mails. This is not an extraditable of fense. and consequently Uncle Sam has never bothered me, and believe that all charges have been withdrawn as far as I am concerned. although be- lieve was never considered as involv- ed as more than possible witness"
 Newspapers have charged President Storey and yourself with getting away with about $S.OOO,OOO. How about that

 "Oh, that is an exaggeration! The Philadelphia North American caused run on the Storey company, and aft CT 1t had paid out about million and half dollars to depositors. represent ing two million and half dollars. 1t had to close up its doors for want of ready cash. I have no idea where the money went. I got none of 1t.
 MT. Storey is living in London. He is in a bad way. His stomach has gone back on him, and he is wearing a tube. The papers, you know, said that Sophia Lang and he eloped. That Is not true. Mrs. Lang is living abroad with her husband. The only reason I am travelling quietly is that I do not wish to be apprehended while on this side. They might cause me little trouble in the way of delay, but in no other way. The fact is no person con nected with the Storey Cotton com pany can be convicted, simply because every person who deposited money with that concern signed contract permitting the company to invest their money in whatsoever way 1t saw it."

PROPERTY OWNERS COMPLAIN
Board of Public Works Annoyed About
Award of Dayton Street
Contract

The board of public works is feel
ing badly over having acted hastily
in awarding the contract for improv-
ing Dayton avenue from Loretta to
Avenue Thirty-seVen and has asked the
city attorney to eXtricate 1t from its
difficulty if he can.
The contract for improving Dayton
avenue was awarded to George Rhein-
child a few weeks ago. Mr.. Rheinchild
was the only bidder on the work and
demanded $275 lineal foot for grading
and graveling. The total cost of the
work amounted to about $4,000 and a
certified check for 10 per cent should
have accompanied Mr.. Rheinchild' s
bid. His check was for but $500, how
ever, and the board was in quandary
as to whether or not the bid was reg
ular. The city attorney advised it
that the 10 per cent could be waived,
and relieved at finding everything in
proper form the board hastily awarded
the contract.
Now the property owners are com
planning that the price demanded is eX-
| tortionate and censuring the board Sc
verely for letting the contract.

EASTERNER GETS
NEW Pc. BERTH
D. A. MUNGER MADE GENERAL
AGENT OF SYSTEM
Experienced Railroad, Lxpress and
Trolley official viii Have Over
sight Of company's Agents.
Railroad News

d. A. Munger took hold Of the Office
of general agent-practically a new
position-of the Pacific Electric railway
yesterday and from his offices on the
seventh floor of the Pacific Electric
building will maintain an oversight of
the agents of the company.
Mr. Munger is practically a new
corner from the east, who, paying a
visit, found the charms here so alluring
that he sent his resignation east to the
Michigan trolley interests with which
he had been connected for four years
and cast his lot with Los Angeles.
Mr.. Munger, though comparatively a
young man, has served seventeen
years in railroad, express and trolley
circles. beginning as clerk in a ware
house for the Pennsylvania system and
branching out in Pittsburg, st. Louis
and Michigan points. His latest service
was to operate one of the many long
distance, high-speed trolley roads that
run out of Detroit. Michigan has cleo
trio systems that require speed of as
high as seventy miles an hour and some
that make less speed, and Mr.. Munger
is familiar with both in all their
details

ASKS FOR TUNNEL ORDINANCE
Los AngeIes-Pacifie Proposes Paying
Half Cost of Bore

The Los Angeles-Pacific Railway
company's attorneys have filed a petit
tion giving the company the privilege
of laying a double track railway from
First and Hill streets through the pro-
posed Hill street tunnel, along Bellevue
avenue and Sunset boulevard.
The corporation expects to bear half
the expense of the Hill street bore, and
the petition is filed by arrangement with
the property owners, it is stated.
The board of public works and city
engineer have approved the plans and
specifications and the contract is to be
let soon.
Should the privilege be regarded as
requiring franchise, and put up for
sale, the Los Angeles-Pacific officials
were in fear that they might lose out
or else be forced to pay high price in
addition to that which they agreed to
pay for tunnel construction.
In some circles it is doubted whether
the council can pass an ordinance of
the charctetr sked, which privileges, it
is held, can be conferred only by fran
chise.

SAYS SOME MEAT
UNFIT FOR SALE
HEALTH OFFICER FAV0RS CITY
ABATTOIR
CounciImen Urge Rigid Inspection of
Saughtering of All Animals
From Hoof to Butchers
Block

Owing to the failure of the county
supervisors to keep their appointment
with the special committee investigat-
ing the meat industry in Los Angeles
there was no session yesterday after
noon and an adjournment was taken to
Friday evening at 730 o'clock. Yester-
day afternoon had been set as the
the supervisors.
The city council, which, through
Councilman Smith took the initiative
in the investigation, is unable to do
much to insure good meat being sold
in Los Angeles without the co-opera-
ton of the supervisors. While the
council has the privilege of saying
what may be sold in this city and fixing
a penalty. for a violation of such an
ordinance, the greatest difficulty found
by the health department is through
the meat slaughtered outside the city
and within the jurisdiction of the
supervisors.
Health Officer Powers and his meat
inspectors declare they have no fault
to find with the slaughterlng and
packing houses doing business in the
city, but that much meat is killed and
dressed outside the limits and sold in
the city that is not fit for food. This
meat is sold to the cheap restaurants
and suburban butchers.
The council committee, composed Of
Smith, Hitler and Kern, with the board
of public works and the board of
health, are doing all they can to insure
a clean meat supply for Los Angeles
and before they have ceased their ef-
forts will, in all probability, recon-
mend to the city council that muni-
cipal abattoir be established where all
meat intended for Los Angeles mar
kets will be slaughtered and inspected
by city inspectors from the hoof to
the butchers block.

BLIND TOM' WILL
LOSE POSITION
BODY BLOW STRUCK AT CITY
HALL GUIDE
Civil Service Commission Passes Rule
Excluding SightIess Man From
Examination, Taking Support
From Faithful Employe

Through an ironclad rule passed by
the civil service commission yesterday
Blind Tom" Collins, the city hall
guide, will lose his position. The rule
is that all emergency appointees must
take the civil service examination for
the position which they temporarily
hold at the next examination called,
provided the appointment is made more
than ten days before the examination
is held
The civil service commission frankly
admits that this rule is aimed at Blind
Tom" and intended for all similar
cases that may come in the future.
Collins lost his eyesight while in the
employ of the city, where he was a
faithful servant for many years. The
council, last winter, created the posi-
tion of city hall guide, at a salary OF
$50 a month for the sole purpose of
providing a pension for him. He was
made the emergency appointee. Under
civil service rules an emergency ap-
pontment can be made for sixty days
only. Since his first appointment Col
Inns has been regularly reappointed by
the council every sixty days.
The civil service commission called
an examination for city hall guide, but
Blind Tom" was the only one to apply
for the position. AS he cannot see, the
commission refused 10 examine MN
and through this refusal Collins has
been able to hold his appointment.
Another examination has been called
for July IA. and as the commission re-
fuses to examine Collins he will be out
Of position on that date. Should any
other applicants care for the place and
pass the examination in all probability
the council would abolish the position
and the successful applicant would
make nothing by taking the examlna-
tion.
While Collins is almost totally blind
he fulhlls the position of city hall guide
to everyone's satisfaction. He was
employed in the city hall so many
years he knows every room. nook and
corner In 1t and can direct a stranger
as we'll as one who can see better The
civil service commission, however, Is
afraid that his appointment will be
taken as a precedent by future councils
and the city hall be filled with worn
! out employees on PENSIONS

ACQUITTED OF ASSAULT
Harry OConneII, Who Attacked Dep
uty's Deputy, Allowed to Go Free
bv Police Judue

Harry O'Connell was acquitted of a
charge of assault upon j. Griffin by a
jury in Police Judge Roses court yes
terday. A number of witnesses were
examined and a great deal of expert
testimony was given which took up the
greater part of the day.
O'ConnelPs lawyer did not deny that
O'Connell struck Griffin on April %,
but contended that Griffin had no right
as private citizen to attempt to ar
rest O'Connell.
Griffin was rendered unconscious and
when examined by Dr. Bonynge at the
receiving hospital was found to have
sustained fracture at the base of the
brain. One of Griffin's eyelids is par
alyzed and he cannot remember any
thing that has taken place few weeks
in the past. He testified yesterday
that he did not remember being struck
by O'Connell.
The trouble arose on account of a
non-union man driving truck at the
time relief trains were being loaded at
the River station of the Southern Pa
cific. A special policeman called to
Griffin to make the arrest, but accord
ing to law he had no right to do so.

from giving a deed to the Chicago, Mil

way In the Cedar river valley.
The application for an Injunction was
made by the Kings County Medical so

struction crews will contaminate the
municipal water supply taken from the
streams. The city has already passed a
franchise ordinance authorinzing the
granting Of a right of way deed.
The actual exchange Of the deed has
only been delayed by the necessity for
a careful description Of the property
involved, and the physicians hope to
prevent its issuance by their suit.
