WOULD PROFIT
BY DECOY BABY
WOMAN AND MAN FIGHT FOR
INFANT
Henry Thies Father Offers $1,000 for
First Grandchid-Son Adopts
Child to Gain the
Reward

In the contest for the possession of a
little baby boy between Henry Theis
and a woman named Mary Mondoler
yesterday morning in Judge Wilbur's
department of the superior court one
of the most peculiar stories in the his
tory of the local courts came to light.
Theis wanted possession of the baby,
stating that Mrs. Mondoler was not
the mother of the child, while on the
other hand the woman alleged she was
the real mother and that Thies did not
have anything to do with the infant,
who is being cared for by the humane
society.
The story of the quarrel between
Thies and Mrs. Mondoler, who were the
best of friends several weeks ago, was
told yesterday by Thies.
The mans father, who is wealthy and
who lives in the east, offered $1,000 to
the first of his children who would
present him with a grandson. Theis is
said to have needed the money and to
have gotten Mrs. Mondoler to secure a
baby boy from an infants home here
for the purpose of going east with him
as his wife and claiming the reward.
They quarreled before they could start
east and Mrs. Mondoler left with the
baby. Since then Thies filed petition
for custody of the child. Judge Wilbur
will investigate the case thoroughly be-
fore making a decision.

HERRERA'S TRAINER is
FINED FOR DISTURBANCE
ALTERcATloN WITH CONDUCTOR
ENDS IN COURT
Lewis Turner, Who Used to Rub Down
the Fighter Who Did Not Fight,
Pays Thirty Dollars Because He
Fought

Lewis Turner, former trainer of Her.
rera. the prize fighter who didn't fight
was in Justice Chambers court yester-
day on a charge of disturbing the peace
Turner. a stalwart youth who has
been in court before on a similar charge,
engaged in an alteration with a con-
ductor of a San Pedro street car late
Saturday night
According to the story told the court
by Conductor c. o. Huff, Turner
boarded the car about midnight at First
and Main streets. He was noisy and
disturbed the passengers by his con-
duct.
Conductor Huff warned the young
man several times to refrain from using
bad language, but was only insulted for
his suggestion.
Finally at Sixteenth and San Pedro
streets he said he tried to put Turner
off the car and that started a fight.
The former trainer of the doughty
Mexican lightweight squared off and,
ii is said administered several punches
in the direction Of the conductor, but
failed to reach his mark. He grabbed
the conductors hat, according to his
own story, to get even with the street
car man after rough and tumble fight.
He was arrested and pleaded guilty to
the DISTURBANCE charge.
Justice Chambers fined him $50 and
intimated that the next time Turner
appeared in court he would receive a
long jail sentence.

GOLD FOUND AT GRASS ROOTS
Many Rich Strikes Reported on the
South Side of Mount
Mckinley

Special to The Herald
SEWARD, Alaska, June 6.-Gold
is found at the grass roots
In many places of the Yentna
district, particularly on some OF
the creeks of the Upper Kahiltana
and Lake creek, which have been pros
pected since the beginning of the year.
At least 300 men are now in the dis
trict and all are busy prospecting ana
making ready for summer work. Many
of them have sBuice boxes in place to
begin washing gravel as soon as the
creeks clear of ice.
This is the report brought down by
John A. Mcdonald, who with d. H.
Konklin arrived in Seward recently.
They left the headquarters of the
Yentna April % and came straight
through, with the exception of a stay
of two days at the lower end of Lake
creek as they came past. water was
running over the ice on the Yentna and
they were obliged to wade part of the
way. 1t was slushy travelling all the
way from Lake creek to Knik and the
Little Susitna was showing signs of a
break up. 1t was the opinion of Frank
Churchill at Susitna station that the
rivers will be clear about May 90
Mr.. Mcdonald has been i'll the Yent-
ma district since last fall, with the eX-
ception. of a few weeks in the winter
when he came outside. He left here in
February the last time and since then
has been on most of the explored
creeks Of the district. While no min

trying to do.

LOCAL OIL COMPANIES
GRASPING AVAILABLE
SUPPLY OF PRODUCT
SHARP UPWARD TENDENCY TO PRICES
Indications Point to Greatly Increased Demand
for Petroleum in the East and Also to
the Possibility of Expanding
Markets in the Orient

Municipal and county officials who
have in charge the making Of con-
! tracts for oil for road purposes are
this year facing condition of affairs
| that i'm many instances will compel
complete revision of budgets based
on estimates made few months ago.
The price of crude oil has nearly
doubled as compared with last year,
and as n result the cost of road oiling
has been increased enormously.
owing to the legal holidays 1t has
been impossible to award contracts for
this purpose until this week, but sew
eral of the smaller municipalities ad-
yertised for bids some time ago so that
they might be prepared to begin opera
tions without further delay as soon as
the holidays should end. The board
Of trustees of South Pasadena took
this course, and last Monday was the
time fixed for opening of the bids
When the board met, however, 1t was
found that only one bid had been
handed in and the price named in 1t
was 75 cents a barrel. Last year the
board was supplied with oil at AZ cents
q barrel. and in view of the sharp ad-
vance in the price, the members decid-
ed to run the chances and readvertise
for new bids.
Indications Of a Combine
The consensus of opinion among oil
men seems to be that in taking this
action the board made mistake, or
at any rate is not likely to gain any
important advantage. They insist
that crude oil is more likely to ad-
vance in price than decline, and they
give a number of reasons for making
this assertion. One of these is that
all the surface Indications point to an
understanding among all the large
companies. the results of which prom
Use to amount practically to corner on
the supply. These companies, they
say, are making contracts for all the
oil in sight and are rapidly tightening
their grip on the Southern California
situation.
six months ago crude oil delivered In
Los Angeles was quoted around 30
cents a barrel. Today it is quoted at
about as cents and rather difficult to
obtain at that. The producers are
finding it an easy matter to market
their full supply at prices which are
nearly double those received year
ago.
Union Oil Stock Rises
Obviously the rumors of a combna-
tion among the large companies cannot
be easily verified but close observers
of the situation insist that the indi-
cations all point in that direction.
They certainly are all contracting for
all the oil they can get, and the avail
able supply seems to be rapidly con-
centrating in their hands.
The sharp advance in the price of
the product of the wells that has taken
place in the last six months indicates
clearly that some important develop
ments have taken place, and while the
outsider may be able to figure cut

seiatIca Cured After Twenty Years Of
TOrture

For more than twenty years Mr.. j. b,
Massey Of 1922 Clinton street, Minneap-
oils, Mimi, was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he en-
dured during this time is beyond COM
prehenslon. Nothing gave him any per-
manent relief until he used Chamber
l&in's Pain Balm. One application OF
that linlment relieved the pain and
made sleep ard rest Iosslble and less
than one bottle has effected a per-
manent cure. Mr.. Massey felates his
experience for the benefit OF others who
may be SIMILARLY afflicted. II troubled

Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-06

some of these developments to his own
satisfaction, the exact nature Of others
still is more or less conjectural.
In view Of these conditions 1t is nat
ural that quotations for oil stocks
should be showing a strong upward
shares of most of the important COM
panies are closely held, and buyers
generally are compelled to bid UP
prices. Union OIL for instance, which
now is selling around S215 C share, was
quoted below par few months ago.
That company of course, is big
money Garner, but on the basis of its
present dividend the actual yield to
the investor at current quotations is
comparatively small. In this case,
however, 1t is evident that the buyers
of the stock are not figuring so much
on the present dividend rate as they
are on the prospects, and the friends
of the company insist that these pros
poets are decidedly brilliant.
Seek Control of Output
Oil men say that the action of the
leading companies in trying to secure
control of the output is based on the
prospect of a largely increased demand
for Southern California oil in the near
future. The merits of this oil for road
making purposes, they say, are so well
established and recognized that the
railroad freight rate is all that has
prevented it's extensive use in certain
parts of the east. With the opening
of the Union Oil con1pany's pipe line
across the isthmus of Panama it is
expected that this handicap will be to
a certain extent removed, and that it
will be possible to deliver oil on the
Atlantic seaboard at price that will
warrant its use for oil making pur-
poses.
This doubtless explains, in part, at
least. the strength of the market for
the product as compared with a year
ago, but in addition to this 1t is un-
derstood that several of the large COM
panies are trying to reach out for big
contracts in the orient.
Japan, it is said, has been compelled
to look to Southern California as pos
sible source of supply for fuel for its
warships, and thus new markets on
both sides of the world are opening up
for this part of the country. The de-
mand in either case would probably
be sufficient to bring about an impor
tant change in the local conditions, so
far as prices are concerned, and if both
markets eare developed the companies
here would he placed in the strongest
possible position.
Representatives of the Union, AS
sociated and Central oil companies are
said to have left San Francisco a short
time ago on the same steamer for
Japan. This may have been merely a
coincidence, but those who maintain
that an understanding has been
reached between these companies on
certain matters are pointing to this
fact as giving considerable color to
their theory.

the board does not know how to dispose

Apparently the only course open TO
the board is to run the sewage into the

No one was there to meet the little
fellow and he burst into tears.
A sweet-faced young woman in the
garb of a deaconess went up to the

trouble. Jesse sobbed out that his
father lived near the Plaza in room

him to come back to the CITY, but he

BOYLE HEIGHTS

PROMINENT CITIZENS SIGN
PETITION EAGERLY
Members of Council Ready to Ask
Bids for Franchise If Assured
City Will Get Fair
Recompense

Attorney H. W. O'Melveny, who is
one Of the most ardent advocates for
the franchise from Broadway and Sew
enth along Seventh street and Boyle
avenue and east to the city limits,
along the length of Holenbeck avenue,
declared yesterday that H. e. Hunting
ton had nothing whatever to do with
the petition presented to the city coun-
Gil Monday asking that a franchise for
this district be put up for competitive
bidding.
While denying that Huntington is in
any way interested in the move, MIR.
O'MelVeny maintains a discreet silence
as to whom he expects to put in a bid
for the franchise, although he is certain
that bids will not be lacking and that
the city will receive a good price for
the use of it's streets.
Members of the city council yester-
day expressed a readiness to ask for
bids for such franchise if any assur-
ance could be given that the city would
receive anything like its value and If it
appears to be desired by residents of
Boyle Heights who will be profited by
the car line. They would rather know
to whom the franchise will eventually
go, however, as since the Gilmore river
bed fiasco they are little chary about
granting franchises blindly.
There seems to be, little doubt that
the franchise is wanted by the resi-
dents of Boyle Heights. Those who
signed the petition asking that the
franchise be granted are among the
largest property owners in the district
to be benefited and they make no at
tempt to conceal their eagerness that
the franchise be granted and the street
car line constructed.
This new line will open a section of
Boyle Heights which now has no direct
communication with the business center
of the city
