FRIENDS DENY YOUTHS
SCHEME WAS FRAUDULENT
Wealthy Father Says If Son Is Guilty
MANY Prominent Concerns
Are Breaking the
Laws

Ignorance of government officials re-
garding gems In the rough is sad TO
be the reason Carbonate ore Johnson,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. M. Johnson of
Riverside, was arrested on the charge
of fraudulent use of the mails.
The preliminary hearing was held IN
the federal court before United States
Commissioner William M. Van Dyke,
taking all day yesterday, and Will be
continued Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
johnson sent letters by mail solicit
ing orders, charging $3.50 for polishing
a stone called a "hyacinth," which,
when so polished, he returned to the
owner, who then had stone of con-
siderable more value than before pol
ished.
Johnson's defense is that he has full
filled all his contracts for over a year
according to agreement.
His father says that since there are
SO many varieties of hyacinth, the aV-
erage man is confused by them. The
elder Johnson, who is well known,
wealthy mining man, says If his son is
guilty of the offense charged, large
lapidary concerns throughout the land
are also guilty.
Several Pasadena people are inter-
ceding in behalf of young Johnson,
among them being Mrs. Alice Weber,
Mrs. Robert ]. Burdette and Walter
Pritchard, we'll known artist of Pasa-
dena.
The peculiar name of the defendant,
Carbonate Ore Johnson, was given MN
bv his parents because he was the first
white child born in the Black HIS,
South Dakota. Carbonate ore is found
in that district in great abundance.
Yesterday morning Paul Mccormick.
the governments attorney, produced
as exhibits letters written by johnson
soliciting business. In the afternoon
various witnesses were examined,
among them Postmaster Newkirk or
San Diego, while Doc Wilson, manager
of the San Diego Gem company, gave
expert testimony on the stones pro-
duced in evidence regarding "hya-
cinths."
The witness did not know OF any
large hyacinth mines in San Diego
county where the gems could be dug
out by the carload.

NEW BRANCH HOUSE
HUNDREDS GATHER TO VIEW
CARS
Salesroom and Garage Are Beautifully
Decorated with Flowers, and
Lunches Are Served Guests.
Models Shown

The Maxwell had it's day yesterday
when the new home of the branch was
opened to the public and the friends or
MAXWELL
The new salesroom and garage were
beautifully decorated for the occasion,
and in response to the invitation issued
by Manager ]. w. Wilcox several hun
bred people called at the new home
during the afternoon and evening.
Festoons of smilax and brilliant
punches of poinsettiaS made the whole
place a beautiful bower of green and
red.
Red carnations were used on the
tables where refreshments were served.
and in contrast with them were numer-
GUS punches of violets.
Grouped in the front exhibition room
and in the garage were the various
models of the Maxwell arranged so a
ready inspection of the cars was af-
forded. In the garage tables were set
amid the bay trees and refreshments
served during both afternoon and even
irg; a Dutch lunch taking the place
of punch and cakes during the latter
Part of the day.
In the afternoon a woman's mandolin
and guitar orchestra furnished music
and in the evening a trio of musicians
entertained the guests with songs,
dances and instrumental music.
A number of the out-of-town agents
CT the Maxwell attended the opening
and had their enthusiasm considerably
increased by the public's interest shown
in the cars.
One sale of a four-cylinder touring
car was made during the afternoon and
G number of good prospects secured,
and that is tantamount to a sale, for
when a man gets interested in Max
we'll it means the sale is made if the
money is available.
Taken altogether the affair was
greatly to the credit of Mr.. Wilcox
and his corps of efficient assistants,
and was like nothing else so much as
on automobile show on a smaller SCALE
