WOMEN DECLARE
MAN IS SW|NDLER
WARNER ACCUSED OF OLD
BUNKO GAME
Another Alleged Victim Says He
Bought Share in Theater Which
Prisoner Claimed as
81 His Own

Charged with grand larceny, 'Dr." w.
L. Warner, former member of a theat-
rical company, was arraigned in police
court yesterday and pleaded not guilty.
Several women Warner Is said to have
defrauded out of money and jewelry were
trial Warner was arrested on a second
warrant sworn to by James l.. Prentiss.
This second warrant charged Warner
with disposing of half interest In the
Venice when he had no right or title
to 1t.
The first warrant was sworn to by
Fanny Costello. In it Warner was charged
with stealing gold watch valued at $25
which belonged to the woman.
According to the testimony which was
brought out at the triaI Warner worked
the old game of advertising for women
to go on the stage In order to get VIC
Tins.
When the women answered the adver-
tisement Warner is said to have told
them glowing tales of the wealth that
would be theirs and the fame they would
gain If they joined his company. He had
money sufficient to carry the show along
for any number of months, according to
his tale, but he insisted that all those
he employed must put UP deposit so as
to show their good faith. If they did not
have the money a watch or valuable ring
would do, and according to, testimony
the next the victim saw of the piece of
dow of some downtown pawnshop.
Buys Stock in Theater
About week ago Warner is said to
have stolen a gold watch from Mrs Co.'S
teilo's waist. The woman missed the ar
ticle and reported to the police. She
was then sent to the prosecuting attorney
and a warrant was issued for Warmers
arrest After the arrest the police sta
tion was besieged by others who claimed
the man had victimized them and who
sought warrants in order to. give him all
the punishment coming to him.
Among those who appeared was James
l.. Prentiss, but his story was trifie
different than the others which were told:
According to Prentiss he had been led
into separating himself from $4S by the
smooth story told by Warner.
"He told me he owned the Oriental the
ater at Venice" said Prentiss, "and as
sured me If would buy half interest
in it 1 could make money enough to live
on the rest of my life. He offered to sell
me a share for $4S and l gave him the
money. Then l went over to look at the
place and found that Warner did not
own a single thing in the seaside town.
When came back 1 found he had been
arrested, and now / want him punished
and want my money back"
Both cases will be heard Monday at
o'clock

WOMEN CONTEST
FOR BRYSON
FORTUNE

Legal struggle for the possession of
the fortune of John Bryson, sr., said to
amount to nearly $1,OOO,0OO, was begun
yesterday in the superior court in a
sensational suit for injunction filed by
Mrs. Evaline Bryson against Gladys L.
Lamberton and dozen others, who are
Accused of being conspirators to wrest
the big estate from the aged and infirm
magnate.
Bryson is an octogenarian and his
wife is only year or two his junior.
The woman in the case, Gladys L.
Lamberton, is said to be young, artful
and pretty, according to the allegations
of the complaint.
The complaint alleges that ten years
or so ago Bryson met the Lamberton
woman and became infatuated with her,
although at that time she was married.
1t further alleges that Bryson ,avished
luxuries upon her, that splendid home
was built and given her by the old and
infirm Bryson and that she was given
funds for an unlimited wardrobe and a
tour of Europe and the United States
by Bryson.
A magnificent residence on Bonnie
Brae avenue was purchased from Mr..
and Mrs. John Althouse and the deed
was made out IN the LamDerton Wo-
mans name, according to the allega-
tions Of the complaint, as was other
valuable property at Santa Monica.
Gradually, it Is alleged, the wo-
mans grip became closer and closer and
almost the entire estate is now said to
be under her control along with the
rentals and other income which now
amount to nearly $4,000 a month.
In her suit for injunction Mrs. Bry-
son, the aged wife of John Bryson, asks
the court to restrain Mrs. Lamberton
from collecting any further rentals or
from receiving any more of the income
OF the estate and to prevent the sale of
any property held in Mrs. Lamberton's
name which is alleged to be part of the
estate.
Mrs. Bryson claims that her husband
is incompetent and unable to care for
himself or his property and alleges that
there are a number of people trying to
wrest his estate from him.
Chief in the list of property held in
the estate is the Bryson building, cor
ner of Spring and Second streets, a
modern office building valued at more
than $500,00O.

NEW YORK, April 9.-The applica-

WASHINGTON, April "a day Of
conferences between the Central Ameri-
can representatives here in the effort
to reach basis of peace had no marked
results.
Having deciphered the cable response
from his own government to the propo-
aitions submitted-to him yesterday by
the representatives of Salvador and
Guatemala, Senior Corea, the Nicara-
guam minister, called today upon Senor
Creel, the Mexican ambassador, who
has been taking the part of mediator,
and acquainted him with President Ze-
laya's answer.
This made necessary further confer
ence, which fact was taken as an indi-
cation that the Nicaraguan response
was in the nature of counter PROPOSE
ton. Messrs. Corea and Creel repaired
to the state department to confer with
Secretary Root and Assistant Secretary
Bacon.
This conference advanced matters al
though only so far as to have the way
paved for another conference which was
held in the late afternoon by Mesrs.
Creel and Corea and Herrante and Me-
jia, the latter two representating Qua
temala and Salvador respectively
1t is believed by ONE of the parties
to these conferences that owing to ne
cessity of consulting their home coun-
tries at every stage, immediate satis-
faction cannot be expected.

WASHINGTON, April o.
According to a decision reached
by the interstate commerce COM
mission today E. H. Hartman
will be made to appear in the
United States circuit court in
New York and compelled to
answer certain questions which
he refused to answer when he
was on the stand at the recent
hearing by the commission in
New York.
The action will be brought as
soon as Messrs. Kellogg and Sew
erance, special counsel, can pre-
pare the case for court.
The hearing before which Mr..

nection with certain transactions
of the Union Pacific. On advice
of counsel he refused to answer
the questions put to him. 1t was
brought out in the testimony that
the Union Pacific owned a large
amount of Southern Pacific stock.
Mr.. Hartman was asked whether
any, and if so, how much of that
stock belonged to himself, when
he bought it and what price he
paid for it, but he declined to
answer.
Another question which he re-
fused to answer and that on
which the commission desires
light, was whether or not any of
the directors of the Union Pacific
were interested in the sale Of cer-
tain shares of stock of the New
York Central railroad at the time
they were sold to the Union Pa
cific.
