Principals in a DIgraCefM Encounter That Would
Do Credit to a Bar Room BrawI.
Some of Alamosa's Cergymen Prove to be More
Especially Qualified for Political Jobbers and
Ward Heelers Than Expounders of the Faith of
the Meek and Lowly Nazarene

During all the years we have
resided in Conejos county. and all
the years we have been engaged in
newspaper work, never have we
had occasion to note more
brazen and glaring attempt at
chicanery and deception than was
practiced at the primary election
at Alamosa last week by Messrs.
barley and Harrison, two of Ala
mosa's gentlemen of the cloth.
Were they not ministers of the
gospel, men who are generally
looked upon and accepted through
out the community as the very
embodiment of honor and moral
excellency, men whose high sense
of good citizenship and worthy
endeavor are upheld and pro-
claimed as fitting standard for
the rising generation to strive to
attain, the role they played would
be of but passing interest. Such
conduct might be expected in the
bar-room, might be expected of
the INSCRIPTIONS, political ward
heeler or the confirmed crook, but
it seems almost beyond belief that
these ministers could prove them
selves so unworthy of the respect,
esteem and confidence of their
erstwhile friends and parishioners.
Entering the Republican pri-
mary meeting at Alamosa with a
little band of their followers, after
the meeting had progressed nearly
to it's close and the vote on dele
gates to the county convention had
been taken and announced, an
objection was raised by the
preachers crowd to the delegates
elected and two of their candi-
dates were then nominated amid
the din and commotion caused by
the belligerent preachers who were
endeavoring to mix it" with some
of the members of the opposing
forces, only being restrained from
giving an up-to-date exhibition of
a bar-room brawl by the timely
interference of number of the
wiser and cooler heads present.
When order was restored, the
chairman graciously announced
that he would allow all Republi-
cans to vote again, for whomsoever
they chose, but that none but
Republicans were entitled to vote
as this was Republican primary.
Mr.. barley, having previously
stated that he intended to vote the
Democratic ticket from Bryan
down at the ensuing election, his
and Mr.. Harrison's right to vote
was challenged, and upon being
asked whether or not they had
voted the Republican ticket at the
preceding general election or
whether or not they would agree to
support the ticket nominated this
fall if allowed to vote at the pri-
mary, Mr.. barley replied that he
would not, while Mr.. Harrison
said he would agree not to vote for
Pitcher. To this Mr.. Pitcher said:
"Leave me out of it. Will you
support the balance Of the ticketY"
NO | won't" replied Mr.. Harri-
son.
Mr.. Pitcher, having demonstrat-
ed the peridy of these men to the
satisfaction of all present, then

WANTS COMMISSION
FOR SALE OF MINE
PLAINTIFF ASKS RECEIVER AND
INJUNCTION
Alleges He Found Purchaser for "Lost
Horse Mine," Riverside County,
and That Agreement Is
Being Violated

Seeking to have a partnership agree
ment carried out, A. p. Flanagan fled
suit in the superior court yesterday
against w. G. De Wore, asking that the
defendant be ordered to pay the COM
plainant one-half of commission about
to be received for sale of a mine me-
gotiated through the two men.
Flanagan alleges that De Wore held
a contract from j. d. Ryan, the owner
of the Lost Horse mine, in Riverside
county, for the sale thereof, under
which he was to receive a commission
of per cent on any amount derived
from any sale made by or through De
Wore.
De vore and Flanagan made an
agreement by the terms of which Flan-
agan would find buyer for the mine
and the commission would be divided.
Flanagan declares he produced pur-
chaser who entered into a contract for
the purchase OF the property for the
sum of $4,000.
The complaint further alleges that De
Wore now denies the agreement and
threatens to collect all commissions;
that the payment is about to be made,
and that unless restrained by an order
of the court De Wore will take every
thing.
The plaintiff asks that a receiver be
appointed to make collection, and that
J. D. Ryan, the owner. be enjoined
from paying any commission to DE
Wore or any other person other than
such as shall be appointed by the court

BROCK AND CARSEy
MAY BATTLE JULY 3
Manager MeRea Makes an Attractive
Proposition to conqueror Of Kid
Dalton for Ten-Round Scrap
at Mccarey's Club

Negotiations for a twenty-five-rou
scrap July Is between Phil Brock and
Frank Carsey, proposed to be staged
at Jeffries' pavilion, have fallen through
for the present, but Manager McRea.
acting for Brock. made a proposition
last night that makes 1t easy for Car
sey to get his first attractive match in
Los Angeles IL he cares to take on
the scrappy eastern boy. McRea says:
"Carsey has been doing a heap OF
talking about what he would do to
Brock IL he could get my boy In the
ring. All right, we will see If he means
business. Brock will take him on july
over a ten-round route at catch-
weights and beat him half % death on
a sixty-and-forty basis, or. If Carsey
is so sure he can whip Brock. we Will
cut the fighters share rs and 25 per
cent. All we want Is to get him In
the ring, and IL we do not show him
up I'll never say another word about
him."
McRea puts in the catchweight stip-
ulation because of the short time left
to train for this fight and because he
does not want to be bothered about
weight making In such a short period.
Brock and Carsey would be evenly
matched at catchweights. as they are
about of the same weight. and the
match would be an attractive one as
both boys fight in the style that pleases
the fans. As both are good scrappers
and main event lads of good class.
they would play to a good house the
night before the Fourth. McCarey will
call off his prelim boys for that night
II Carsey and Brock can agree today.

WOULD MAKE PARK
LESS ISOLATED
PLAN TO STRING PHONE WIRES
HEDGED WITH TROUBLE
Telephone company's Request to
Board to Erect Poles on Los Feliz
Road Beset with Legal
Difficulties

II the park commissioners decide to
grant permission to the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph company to
erect poles on Los Feliz road the much
wanted telephone lines to and through
Griffith park may become realty.
Superintendent John Morley Is now
looking into the rights OF the board IN
such cases, comforting with the legal
department incidentally.
For years the city authorities have
felt the need Of getting in closer touch
with Griffith park, which is the largest
park in the world belonging to any
municipality. Expenditures there will
increase month after month In future.
If message is to be sent to or from
the park now mounted courier must
travel miles to get telephone.
Some time ago the board sought
the telephone officials only to learn
that 1t would cost at least $3.50 to
string a special phone wire to one end
of the park. This the board was un-
willing to spend.
1t has been suggested that II the
board grants permission to the COM
pany to erect poles on Los Feliz road
as desired a return courtesy of line
through Griffith park might be ex-
pected. On the other hand. If the
road is a county road, the rights may
be legally restricted. The road, how
ever, runs partly through the park.
Then, too, Colonel Griffith, in donat-
ing the park, has reserved certain
rights, among them being clause that
no street cars or wires of any kind
be permitted inside the park without
his consent.

LOSES HIS PRISONER
AFTER ALL HIS Toll
ACCUSED SLIPS AWAY FROM
PASSENGER DEPOT
lndlo Constable, Having Been Per-
mitted to Rearrest His Man,
Falls Prey to His Over
Confidence

Constable Roy McCarrel of Indio
township, if he is still in Los Angeles,
is about the maddest man in the city,
and he has good reasons.
To trace his man to this city with
a warrant for his arrest on a misde-
meanor charge and arrest him, with
out first having obtained permission
from a justice of the peace for this
township, as required by law; to win
out in habeas corpus proceedings, and
then for the man to get away While
about to board a train. Is enough to
jar anyone's nerves.
A short time ago a complaint was
made to an Indio justice of the peace
accusing t. G. Woolen of beating a
board bill. A warrant charging mis-
demeanor was issued for his arrest.
but before it could be served Woolen
left the place. 1t was learned that he
came to Los Angeles. McCarrel, armed
with the warrant, followed the fugitive
and placed him under arrest. In his
eagerness he neglected to obtain per-
mission from justice of the peace of
this township. However. he obtained
the necessary authority later. Woolen
"got busy" secured an attorney and
instituted habeas corpus proceedings
on the ground that the warrant was
not properly drawn up.
The case was argued before Judge
James yesterday morning The court
decided the arrest was irregular and
discharged the prisoner, but told the
constable he might then arrest him.
McCarrel did so and the prisoner ex-
pressed his willingness return to
Indio. Woolen's peaceful demeanor AL
layed the officers suspicious and the
prisoner was not handcuffed.
The pair started to the depot and
arrived there without any difficulty.
McCarrei stepped up to the ticket win
dow and purchased the tickets. When
he turned round he found that Woolen.
who had been standing at his side. had
disappeared,

anchored at Mormon island. and was
ordered by Litchner to keep or the
vessel. Benn then showed health

the custom house, giving him authority
to clear from San Pedro to Ensenada.

marshal had given him instructions 70

ASSESSMENT MAY
FALL FAR SHORT
SURPRISE is IN STORE FOR
FINANCE COMMITTEE
Assessor MaIlard Did Not Send Fiold
Deputies Forth Till March,
and Properties May
Be Overlooked

Most of the councilmen and not a
few citizens of Los Angeles have been
planning expenditures for the next
fiscal year on the belief that the next
assessment will bring to the city larger
tax income.
Now those familiar with the internal
affairs of Assessor Walter Mallard' q
office say that the contrary will be
the case.
In the past assessors have sent out
field men six to eight months In ad-
vance of July to look over every foot
of taxable property. Returns must be
made by July 1.
Assessor Mallard did not send out
his men till March.
1t is stated that many of the new
improvements will be overlooked be-
cause of lack OF time to thoroughly
cover the situation.
The assessor will claim, his friends
say, that he was restricted In the plac-
ing of men by the retrenchment policy
and had no other recourse.

WENTWORTH HOTEL
FIGHT IN COURTS
w. H. WHITRlDGE SUES FOR
$4,000
Brings Action Against w, r. staats
e. Company Of Pasadena to
Recover a Large
Sum

Alleging he was the victim OF fraud
and deceit when he purchased stocks
and bonds in the Wentworth Hotel
company, now In the hands of q re-
ceiver. William H. Whitridge filed suit
In the superior court yesterday against
William r.. Stats of Pasadena and
the William r. Stats company. a real
estate and brokerage corporation, for
$4,000 claimed to have been paid for
the bonds and stocks in question.
The complaint, consisting of seventy
typewriter legal sheets, sets forth thai
with full knowledge of the insolvency
of the corporation. the directors of the
Hotel Wentworth company sought to
create a bonded indebtedness of $780,
900; that the Stats company received
275 OF the bonds of $1,000 each and 150
shares of $1,000 each for reorganizing
the finances of the organization. In
the complaint it is expressed as being
excessive exorbitant and a fraud upon
the stockholders"
1t is further alleged that part of the
agreement to refinance the company
was to increase the limit of the indebt-
edness to $500. 900 and the capital stock
from $350,Oo0 to 100000.
The complaint alleges that $450,o00
was at that time owed by the COM
pany.
According to Attorney w. P. Craig,
counsel for the Los Angeles Whole
salers' board of trade, Stats was the
selling agent for the Hotel Wentworth
company for all the stocks and bonds,
There are two suits now pending
in the superior court-one to be heard
in November that asks that the bonds
be set aside, and the other suit to set
tie mechanics liens against the prop
erty that will be tried the latter part
of July.
PASADENA, June 24.-WiHiam r.
Stats, when informed of the suit by
a Herald representative, said that he
had heard nothing about it. "If that
man Whitridge has brought suit
against u.s. said Mr.. Stats, ''it is un-
warranted, unjust and inequitable. II
is merely an attempt to hold us up.
We have had no dealings with Mr..
Whitridge. He bought his bonds
through another party and is now
kicking because they are not paying
as soon as he expects. We will resist
the suit vigorously"

DIR. Howard, soon after his resigna-
