EVERETT ]. BROWN
NAMED FOR BENCH

OAKLAND, July 25-Men prominent
in civic affairs of Alameda county have
inaugurated a movement to invite Dis
trict Attorney Everett ]. Brown to ac-
cept the republican nomination for
superior Judge at the coming county
convention. Friends of the energetic
official, whose public career has at
tracted state wide attention, have sug-
gested his name in connection with the
bench.
Brown has not been advised as to the
progress OF the quiet campaign which
has been taken up in his behalf. Some
of the leading men In the good govern
ment fight which is being made In Ala
media county have given the subject
serious consideration. District Attor-
ney Brown is considered to be the type
of man that Is needed in the new poll
tics which is being fostered by such
organiza tions as the Lincoln-Roosevelt
republican league. His attitude toward
public affairs has been that of a fear
less, high minded citizen an official
whose sole purpose is to compel obedi-
ence to the law and to enforce every
statute which can be invoked to check
graft and extravaganza in public af-
fairs.
Time after time has District Attor-
ney Brown showed his mettle in con-
tests against the county ring in its un-
buSineSSlke meI0OuS- he has stood
against all forms Of recklessness in ad-
ministration and has sternly set himself
against all kinds of practices in the
county government which long neglect
had fastened, vulturelike, on the county
treasury.
That his name should be under con-
sideration for promotion to the bench
by those who are lighting the forces
of the Herrin machine will not come as
a surprise to the men who are earnestly
In the battle for the overthrow of the
Southern Pacific political bureau in
Alameda county. That Brown himself
will be greatly surprised is certainty,
for reward along this line is furthest
from his thoughts. This district at
torney, who bids fair to become a ma
tfonal character, has not given the
slightest indication of a desire to take
part in fights for personal aggrandize-
ment. He has said repeatedly, and his
deeds bear him out, that he desired to
serve the public as faithful public off,
cial, needing the law in all particulars.
furthering justice and caring not where
the blow struck when it was delivered
in the interests of right and the people.

finds MISSING SON
IN FELON'S GRAVE
SPECIAL D1sPArcH TO THE CALL


SACRAMENTO, July 25.-To come to
California In search Of a missing son.
and to find that that son had died a
convict and was buried >in a felOn's
grave, was the sad experience yester-
day OF L. l. Lawson OF Kansas.
Several years ago Lawson's only son
Fred came to California in the hope OF
making a fortune. AT first he wrote
many letters to his parents. but as
time went on his correspondence be-
came less and less frequent. Finally
he stopped writing completely. and
father decided to come to this state
and make a search for him
During his ramble about the state
the elder Lawson ran across a card
containing a statement that Fred Law
scription. had escaped in May. 1907.
from the Folsom prison Having a sus-
picion that this might be his son, Law
son visited the Folsom prison and called
upon Warden Reilly. He was soon con-
vinced that his suspicious were true.
but instead of being a fugitive from
justice his son was buried in the prison
cemetery.
Lawson disappeared from the prison
In May, 1907. and. believing that he had
escaped, circulars were sent out A
few days later, however. it developed
that he was drowned In the canal but
the cards were then scattered broadcast
through the country and it was one of
these that the father found.
Lawson has obtained permission to
have the remains removed to Kansas
for burial.

SHAFTS BROTHER FAILS
IN ANTI-ROYALIST PLOT
Abdul Lands in Fortress, While
Liberal Editor Suffers
Death for Politics

TEHERAN, July 25.-Abdul Faith
Mira, the second brother Of the shah.
who has been kept a prisoner in one
of the suburban palaces, made an un-
successful attempt to escape a few days
ago. Following this failure he was
transferred to a fortress. 1t Is under
stood that his effort to get away was a
part of the latest anti-royalist plot to
dethrone the shah and proclaim Abdul
his successor.
Colonel Liakhoff has asked the shah
to relieve him OF his duties as military
governor of TeheTan because Of the In
creasing popular antipathy against
Russians.
Mira Admed. the editor OF a liberal
paper. has been impaled for his polit-
ical crimes. The same punishment
pursuant to the sentence of the court
has been meted out to other political
offenders.

MRS. MARTIN AGAIN
DELAYS HER TRIAL

OAKLAND, July 25.-Mrs. Isabelle J.
Martin has adopted tactics calculated
to delay her trial, although she former
ly insisted on facing a jury at the
earliest possible date. She said that
she had so much work to do in prepar-
ing her defense that she would not be
ready for the trial for at least a month
after August IS, the time first set. She
begged Judge Wells to grant her four
weeks continuance, but two weeks was
all that she was given.
Mrs. Martin is charged with blowing
up the residence of Judge Ogden with
dynamite. but so far has failed to an
nounce the selection of an attorney TO
defend her. She has appeared in that
capacity for herself on numerous oc-
casions and Judge Wells said that he
had grown a little tired of her prac-
tice of clogging the court records with
voluminous documents, briefs, affidavits
and prayers which, though they had
the jingle Of legal lore, in his opinion
were void of that essential
Burton J. Wyman was appointed by
the jurist to defend Mrs Martin, but
the woman informed Wyman that she
had secured an attorney and would
not need him. He appeared relieved.
She refused to name the practitioner
whom she had engaged.
Judge Wells gave Mrs. Martin per
mission to have depositions taken of
distant witnesses and the interroga-
tions will be submitted for court an
proval in one week, If they are ready.
Toward the close of the session Mrs.
Martin evinced signs of great suffering
and distress and reluctantly Informed
Judge Wells that she had toothache.
He said she might be taken TO a den
tist.

the occurrence to Chief Engineer Ball

councilman. He came over and asked
me to have drink and I said 1 would
take a cigar. Then he pulled a card
=
it. / discovered that it was a pledge
to support him for supervisor and re-
fused to aff1X my signature, saying that
I did not care to bind myself to any one
at that time. Aitken Immediately be-
came abusive.
You - he yelled
You are always against me- 1 replied
that 1 was not indebted to him in any
way, and that 1 could certainly not be
won over by any such tactics as he was
adopting. He stepped away for min
ute and then came over behind me
and struck me in the face, cut
ting my lip. l sprang at him, but his
friends seized me and prevented me
from hitting him. l broke away from
them and tried to reach him again, but
they still interfered and 1 left the
place.
AITKEN AVOIDS ARREST
"A few minutes later 1 found a po-
liceman and ordered him to go back
to the saloon and place Aitken under
arrest. We went back together, but
when we reached the place the door
was barred and we were unable to gain
admittance Aitken either remained in
the saloon all night or was smuggled
out by rear entrance. I am a deputy
constable and would have arrested him
myself If I had been able to find him.
shall certainly swear out a warrant
for his arrest Monday morning.
''Aitken and have never been
friendly in politics and he has been
fighting me for number of years.
This is not the first time that Aitken
has tried rough work In his campaigns.
He assaulted another man under the
same circumstances a short time ago"
Aitken was sought after assiduously
today for a statement, but could not
be found at his accustomed haunts or
