CONSTABLE SENTENCED
TO WEAR GOLD STAR
Frank Cochran Taken to Court, Tried,
and Upon Expert Testimony,
Is Convicted of Popu-
Iarity

Hailed before Justice e. e. Selph, sit
ting in Justice Summerf1eld's court yes
terday, Frank Cochran, a constable of
Los Angeles township. was compelled
to listen to charges of so serious a
nature that his cheeks blanched with
fear and his mind was filled with pic
lures of a future spent behind prison
bars and stone walls.
Cochran wes placed under arrest by
Chief Deputy United States Marshal Al
Settle and his assistant, Bert Franklin,
and when taken to the little court room
he found it crowded with friends,
whose serious faces caused his mind to
become the more disturbed.
The case against the constable was
called promptly on his appearance, and
Deputy District Attorney p. V. Ham
mond carried on the prosecution. An
immediate trial was demanded. and
Captain G. Gillis, deputy under Coch-
ran, was placed on the stand. He said
he had repeatedly given Cochran
money, but so far had seen no ac-
counting.
When Constable B. j. Cohn and a
deputy, Fred Brakeschuler, were called
to the stand, .Cochran's nervousness in
creased. Their testimony appeared only
to make his situation more serious, and
when he listened TO statements, tne
facts regarding which he had no
knowledge, his lips could be plainly
noted framed to accommodate the word
perjury"
Cochran denied fatty the charges
made against him and in so earnest a
manner that his words would have car
ried conviction had not everyone pres
en- heard the damaging statements
against HIM
Justice Selph was critical as he
summed up the testimony, and after a
LONG discourse on the beauties of an
upright life. he told Cochran he had
reached the acme of that condition, and
sentenced the constable to at once ac-
cept, don and wear a beautiful con-
stables star of solid gold. The inscrip-
tion on the back read, from your
friends
Cochran was a puzzled and sur
prised man during the whole proceed
ings and his voice was husky with
emotion as he expressed his thanks.

VOLUME OF TRADE uNEouALED
IN cITYs HISTORY
All Expectations Are Discounted.
Happy Throngs DispeI Whatever
Doubt Of the Future May
Have Existed

A review of the pre- Christmas business
in Los Angeles certainly does not indicate
any remarkable scarcity of ready money.
The rather light movement round
Thanksgiving time seemed to prophesy
little life for the closing days of the
year when merchants expect all records
for the past eleven months or more to
be outdone, but the gloom Is all gone
now.
In fact before last week was ended the
smile that wouldn't come off appeared
and grew broader and broader as Sat
urday night approached And when the
doors were closed for Sunday. mercantile
bank accounts and safes certainly showed
good reason for the existence of Christ
mas cheer
But the wonder grew with each sue
ceeding hour on Monday. Stores were
crowded from basement to skylfght, and
the crowd, in the best of holiday spirit,
surged up and down the alsles and taxed
the physical capacity of the extra large
force of statesmen. Counters were cleared
almost as fast as goods could be carried
from the stock room, the legs of the cash
youngster couldn't travel lively enough,
tho elevator callers voice grew hoarse
and the floor walker lost his sense of d.
rection. But the managers were happy.
1t was there inning.
The people who had felt somewhat dis
appointed over the failure of the banks
to return to cash basis at the cessa-
tion OF the special holidays. apparently
accepted the situation with good grace
and forbearance and plunged into buying,
fully confident that the indomitable Los
Angeles spirit was equal to any emer-
gency and that the sunshine of South
ern California was a sure prophecy of the
oitys future prosperity. Scrip was as
good as ever; it loaded arms down with
presents till the ache reached clear to
the shoulder, and little Mary and chubby
Tom had to lend helping hand.
The remark Of the irreverent fellow
who said he wouldn't object to the abb
sonce of I'm God we trust from the new
gold pieces If the clearing house certifi-
Gates only bore the inscription 81 know
that my Redeemer liveth," was declared
poor joke so long as the colored slips
helped decorate the tree and fill little
hearts with Joy.
No trace Of fear or worry was seen to
mar the happy expression of shoppers.
The greetings Of the season were passed
to friends and acquaintances, the jostle
of the crowded street only added to the
merriment, and when the weariness of
the days hard work sent throngs home
ward the inconvenience of overloaded
cars only made the laugh heartier.

tions and individuals had cooperated Sc
generously that the Associated Chari,
ties would reach between 500 and 70(
