MOROCCAN SULTAN
IN POLICE COURT
CLAIMANT, GARBAGE MAN, HAS
NO LICENSE
w. M. Bonnettio, Alias Sabo Hambo
Bena soro Horo Mutt, Says Span
iards Imprisoned Him in
Gibraltar

am the monarch of the sea:
The ruler of the queens navee;
Whose praise Morocco loudly chants
And so do my sisters and cousins and aunts.
Such was the awe-inspiring strain of
w. M. Bonnettio, a familiar and eccentric
figure of the negro colony of Los Angeles,
when arraigned yesterday morning in
police court, charged with collecting gar
bage without license. hf
Bonnettio bears royal title as claimant
and heir apparent to the throne Of Mo-
rocco, euphonious enough for King Ed
ward, although his series of names Is not
to be found in the African Burke's Peer
age
Sabo Hambo Bena Soro Horo Mutt is
the official cognomen that the quaint gar
bage collector wears on state occasions,
and he says that he Is the rightful king
of Morocco, emperor of Zambesi. prince
of the Lower Tondolands, high execu-
toner and dictator of Kandahar, lord of
the Sahara and the kingdoms beyond the
seas, and claims the titles of various
other potentates, from nabob to pasha
The Brummel of Ethiopians is a royal
dude. He presented a half humorous,
half pathetic figure in all the glory of his
regal array, clad in fantastic garments Of
crazy cut and wearing numerous orna-
ments of barbaric splendor.
Strangely enough, Bonnettio has ap
parently hypnotized his confreres into the
belief that his claim to the throne of
Morocco is genuine, and he was sur
rounded in police court by bevy of adj
miring colored women. whom he styles
''retainahs."
A Plot, He Cries
The garbage collector has long been
possessed with the delusion that the
bluest of Moroccan blood flows in his own
veins.
This is an outraged exclaimed Bon
nettio angrily to the court, 'and I have
been complicated by my enemies, who
know that l am getting all the garbage
collecting.
81 am heir to the throne of Morocco.

THE COST OF COAL OIL.

Government statisticians have
gone behind the face of the returns
in the Standard OIL investigation, and
showed that, while the actual cost of
coal oil to the consumer has been re-
duced since the Standard gained a
monopoly, il has not fallen to the
Level to which natural conditions of
competitive trade would have lower
ed it. In other words, the margin or
profits has been increased two cents
on the gallon by the Standard Oil
company, and when one considers
that the output of the company is
billions of gallons, the profits of sales
thus increased are millions of dol
lars. This margin of profit is estimat-
ed, by including the cost of crude oil,
the cost of refining il and putting II
on the market. A profit OF a few mills
on the gallon would aggregate an
enormous amount on the years out
put, and under a competitive system
the margin Of profit would be re-
duced to the minimum. So that, the
price of oil has been controlled only
by the motive of the Standard Oil
company in keeping the price where
II coul undersell competitors, on
whom 1t is in position to run up the
cost of production, by reason OF own
ership of pipe lines and influence, over
common carriers.

funds to use the money. expecting. Of
course to replace 1t. That such a per-
son did really intend to put 1t back
does not differentiate his conduct
one iota from pain theft, the worst
and most cowardly kind Of theft. 1t
Is simple and easy TO confuse trust
funds with personal funds and risk
the former in an effort to increase
the latter. A pickpocket or a high
wayman must have the element of
personal courage to undertake his
avocation. The stealer of trust funds
is simply an irresponsible thief.
There is only one way to discourage
the misappropriation Of trust funds.
and that is to make an example of
someone in a high place. Such char
acter of thieves may be frightened,
for they are essentially weak, and II
one conspicuously pays back the
funds he has misused and gets free,
Others may anticipate just such good
luck and persist in conduct that will
land them in the penitentiary.

HOT WEATHER SUGGESTIONS.

Every chance acquaintance. these
hot days, can tell you what TO DO to
keep well and cool, but the safest ad-
wise is keep close to Nature.
Nature says don't drink very
much ice water-use the tempered
water.
Don't eat heating dishes, warm
meats, and heavy vegetables. but
confine yourselves to light vegeta-
bles and fruits, and cold meats
Nature. also says, and its injunc-
ton is in strong terms, to keep the
system in good condition, the liver,
bowels. stomach. kidneys and skin as
every one contributes to health or III
health.
Osteopathy is Natures treatment,
and the moot rational for all disease.
especially the ailments incident to
hot weather. Those weak, tired out
and rundown conditions; dull head
aches; disturbed bowel conditions.
and torpid liver yield quickly to its
application.
But, let me tell you any time, OF
people you know well, who will
tell you what Osteopathy
has done and is doing for them. That
IS unprejudiced evidence and will
appeal to you. DR.. G. B. Froage, SIC

was not properly before him and
could not properly come before him
Individually, but could only come be-
fore the whole court of appeals from
the final judgment of the circuit
court. The only order entered by
Judge Barker was an order overrul-
ing the motion of Hugh Boyle to re-
instate the Injunction, which had
been denied him by the circuit court.
No other opinion was rendered by
Judge Barker in this case. SO far
the city has won out in every CON
tention she has made, and will pro-
coed to uphold the law by treating
the order of revocation as valid or
der of the mayor, and enforce the Ii
cense ordinance by proper proceed
ing, and issue warrants wherever
there is a sale made in violation
thereof, or without a license.
1.-The mistaken idea which seems
to prevail may have been occasioned
by the informal discussion of some
of the points involved in the ultimate
and final determination of this case,

Corbett, Mr.. Flournoy and myself

that effect. we discussed informally
some of the points involved, merely
as a matter of interest TO us as law
yers, and not as an argument of the
case presented to Judge Barker for
as Judge Barker said at the time,
these points were not involved in the
question presented to him, and could
only be presented upon the final ap-
peal to the whole court of appeals
after the circuit court had rendered
final judgment.
"My recollection of the language
used by Judge Barker was TO this
effect, that he was not sufficiently
familiar with the legal points inyolv-
ed as TO the rights of the mayor TO
revoke a license after an appeal had
been prayed from the Judgment of
the court holding him guilty for sell
ing liquor on Sunday, to express an
opinion, but that on first blush, II
would seem to him the right of APP
peal should not be denied. and that
a revocation of the license would in
effect be a defeat of that right of APP
peal, but these are questions wide of

the case and TO be determined when

court.
1.-The city has absolutely no feeling
against Mr. Boyle, nor is there the
slightest inclination to work any
hardship upon Mr. Boyle. but in the
present condition of this case fail

TOO CLOSE For COMFORT.


The uncertainty as to the result of
the senatorial election in Mississippi
is not fiattering to the intelligence OF
its voters or comforting to those of
us who desire to see the south again
take its place of influence in national
affairs, says the Louisville Times.
The south has little to thank either
Vardaman or Tillman for, and has a.
ready suffered too long under the
Misrepresentation of her views and
her people that both have given
whenever they opened their mouths
John Sharp Williams may have his
shortcomings-no public man has
not-but in intellect, character and
Americanism he fully measures up to
his confreres in the south, and the
south would feel well content with
the knowledge that he is to represent
her in the senate. As for Vardaman,
his views on the negro question are
the views of a small and extensively
noisy sect Of politicians who believe
in making political capital out Of the
negro; they are wholly opposed to
the views of the great majority OF
southerners, who recognize that the
interests Of the white race are best
served in advancing the best inter-
ests of the negro. The south has long
with Vardaman, and no
where is the wish more fervent that
his demagagy will be found to have
lost its power to bamboozle the vot-
ers of his own state, which have aid
ed him in keeping the south in a
false light.
