OFFICERS RAID
SAN FERNANDO
ARREST THREE AND CLOSE
RESORTS
One Prisoner Must Pay Three Sus-
pended Fines, Amounting to $500,
or Serve That Many Days
in County Jail

On warrants issued by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney E. J. Fleming officers
swept down on San Fernando yester-
day morning and after arresting Rob-
ert Kessner c. Kessner and Henry
Lyons on charges of selling liquor
illegally, closed several gambling re-
sorts and pool rooms and left the town
purified.
The raid was the opening of hostil-
| tiles from the district attorneys office
| for the year. There has been a con
| slant drumming at the keepers o
| "blind pigs" for the past year ant
| many OF them through frequent ar
rests and fines have been ousted from
| the county, or at least have been pre-
vented from selling liquor in dry dis
| tricts.
About a year ago Robert Kessner
| proprietor of a pool room at San Fer
| nando, was notified by Attorney Flem-
ing that he would not be permitted
to sell a certain beverage called
"Ilona," a drink at that time being
sent all over the United States by
ST. Louis brewers. The drink was
found to be beer in soda water ap-
warned against selling it.
He sold it just the same and was
arrested and fined and fine suspended.
That caused cessation of hostilities
until the district attorney again
learned that the stuff was being sold
by Kessner.
For second time officers visited
Kessner and brought him to Los An
geles for trial and he was again found
guilty, but because of the action of
the brewers and their attorneys in
convincing the man that he had the
right to sell the stuff, the blame was
laid to the brewers rather than to the
man, and for the second time his fine
was suspended.
Fined Third Time
Three months had barely passed be-
fore Kessner was again arrested on a
charge of selling the stuff sent out
by the eastern brewers and supposed
to be a soft drink. He was again
found guilty and fined, but his fine
was suspended. At the present time
he is indebted to the court IN the sum
of $780, or 800 days in the county jail,
because all three of his appeals to the
superior court have been settled
against him.
with his arrest of yesterday on a
charge, this time of selling liquor in
it's usual form, the charges and fines
against him from the other charges
will be brought forth and, according
to the statement of Attorney Fleming,
Kessner will be required to pay the
$500 judgment now against him, or
settle up that score by serving 800
days in Jail. and then he will be tried
on the charge registered against him
after the raids of yesterday
C. Kissner, another of the men ar
rested during the raid, was charged
with selling liquor without license.
He is alleged to have had the stuff
ON sale at a pool room, of which he
was the proprietor.
Henry Lyons, the third victim. is
charged with conducting a gambling
establishment in the rear Of one Of the
pool rooms.

(STSOM' HAYS is dead, the result
of a broken heart.
Many months Of silent mourn
ing because of his arrest and deten-
tion on a charge of which he was
afterward declared innocent and the
stigma which such an affair placed
for his sturdy nature, brought on the
disease which is known to medical
science as myocarditis. but which was
nothing less than a broken heart.
Contraction and hardening of the
valvular muscles of the heart, caused
by long continued worry, was the
diagnosis of an eminent physician, who
was not aware of the sad incidents
in Tom Hays life.
The end came yesterday morning at
the bungalow home of the family in
Ocean Park, where Mr.. Hays and his
devoted wife and daughter have lived
since the day, something over two
years ago, when he was acquitted of
the charge of embezzling nearly 100000
from the Orange Growers bank of
Riverside, of which he had been cash.

Financial Troubles Come
From 1891, when Mr.. Hays, his wife
and daughter Wanda, then a baby,
came from Pennsylvania, until the
early part of 1904, when the disclos-
ures in connection with the Orange
Growers bank became public, Mr..
Hays had been considered one of the
leading citizens of Riverside and he
also was a power in politics.
Soon after he arrived in Riverside
he obtained position with the River
side bank company, and when the

MORLEY AGAIN IS
BOSS OF PARKS
M'ALEER'S APPoINTEE NAMED
BY HARPER'S BOARD
Lucky Man ls a Democrat and an En-
thusIast on Landscape Garden
ing, Whose Work Won
High Praise

John Morley will be retained as super
intendent of the parks of Los Angeles.
The park commissioners reached this
decision yesterday and bestowed an
honor which Democrats and citizens
generally believe was we'll earned by
Mayor McAleer's appointee. Morley is
Democrat, but above all park super.
intendent, and with the limited funds
at his command he has accomplished
wonders In Los Angeles magnificent
park system In the last few years.
When some weeks ago the Elks of the
city were the guests of Mayor owen
McAleer at Griffith park-Mayor Har-
per being an Elk and a guest-it Is said
the retiring mayor made two requests
of his successor. One was that he do
all In his power to stock the Griffith
park paddoclts with elks and thus
make 1t a national shrine for the
brotherhood of the same name. The
other request was that John Morley be
taken care of in the park department.
Morley Is man of few words except
In his annual reports, when facts talk
loudest He is an enthusiast on park
landscaping and roads. He never made
speech till at the recent Elks' reunion
he was forced to get on a bench and
welcome the guests His second speech
was made the day Mayor Harper took
office, when on behalf of a committee
Morley presented a case of silver to the
outgoing executive.
Morley will have the assistance Of
the city's chain gang in the work at
Griffith park, his wish being that a
stockade be erected there for the
prisoners so that the time lost in going
out to the park from the city Jail and
coming back be devoted to the road

TO OPEN GRAVE FOR WEALTH
Former Sweetheart of James Huey
Believes $4,000 and Will Were
Buried with the Body
Special to The Herald.

Special 10 Inc tteralu.
GREELEY, Colo, Jan. 12.-In a
search for will and $4,000 which, 1t is
believed. were sewed in the lining or
the vest OF the suit in which the corpse
was buried, it is probable that the
body of James Huey, which has been
buried for two years, will be exhumed
here.
Mrs. Mary Hoskins of Gainesville,
Texas, is here trying to discover what
has become of an estate supposed to
have been left by Huey. He is sup
posed to have had about $4,000 at the
time OF his death, but so far no clew
has been found as to it's location.
Mrs. Hoskins is said to have been a
former sweetheart of Huey, and is rep
resenting Huey's sister, who was un-
able to come.
Huey died here about two years ago
from tuberculosis.

Mr. VIM. Swain, 4245 Stiles street, w.
Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Before L commenced taking Peruna
1 had used almost everything 1 could
think of for catarrh.
II felt so tired when getting up in the
morning and my lungs felt dry and
sore. No one who has not experienced
it can imagine how I suffered.
II tried nearly everything recon-
mended. but nothing did me any per-
rhanent good.
THE first bottle of Peruna did me so
much good that 1 continued taking it
until completely cured.
Il cannot praise Peruna high enough.
1 wish everyone could know of it,"

nothing better than to procure bottle

The fight against consumption is be-

Everywhere we hear of sanitariums
established at the expense of the state
for the treatment of the vast army Of
cousumptives.
The open air treatment, fresh air and
sunlight are recognized by the medical
profession generally as beinS the great
est necessities in the treatment of con-
sumption in all of its stages.
DIR. Hartman has for many years adj
vocated the fresh air treatment for con-

recognized Peruna as a useful palliative
for the many distressing symptoms
which accompany the white plague.
