DEFEATS WARDE [. HELLER,

MANY WOMEN ATTEND TOURNEY
AT ATHLETIC CLUB
Pupils of Prof. Harry uyttenhove Put
Up Excellent Exhibition with
the Foils-Boxing Bouts
Draw Applause

About 300 persons. club members and
invited friends, including many women,
attended the second annual fencing
tournament at the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club last night and sat through
the interesting program that ended
with the defeat of Warde L. Heller.
winner of the 1907 tournament and
holder of the Eddy cup, that goes to
the club champion. by Clifford r.
Horne. The affair was under the di-
rection of Professor Harry Uytten-
hove, club instructor in fencing, and
the program consisted of two boxing
bouts and a gymnastic exhibition, In
addition to the fencing bouts.
The preliminary bouts were limited
to three minutes each and were
started at S:15 o'clock ALT Beaudry
won the opening bout with c. B.
Smith. Horne Defeated P. II. Mont
gomery in the second bout, Montgom-
cry swapping a foil during the contest.
Heller won from e. Dietrich in the
third bout. after twice disarming his
opponent. In the semi-finals that fol-
lowed, Horne won from Montgomery
and Heller defeated Beaudry. This
narrowed the contest down to Horne
and Heller for the championship and
the Eddy cup that goes with 1t. Tney
put I'D a pretty and exciting exhi-
bition that drew enthusiastic applause,
Horne being declared the winner.
No decisions We're rendered in the
boxing bouts, of course. but the boys
put up classy exhibitions and the wo-
men folk were especially delighted,
showing their appreciation in frequent
applause. Ivan Kahn and George
Cameron went three rounds and were
followed by Walla Wheeler, amateur
featherweight champion of Southern
California, and Sam Coulter. amateur
lightweight champion. Wheeler gave
away about ten pounds in weight, put
made a most creditable showing
against his heavier opponent.
Ralph Aidro and A. Scheck gave
gymnastic exhibition, following the
first bout in the fencing semi-finais,
and their work was much appreciated
nv the audience. Professor Uytten-
hove and Arthur J. Eddy gave three
minute exhibition with the foils, and
as each is master at the game 1t
proved a. most interesting affair.
Although Horne now is the cup
champion at fencing he must defend
his title against all ohAllengers, and
he probably will have Heller for his
first opponent. in which event another
interesting and exciting bout is as
sured.

SPIRIT TOLD HIM TO
USE HER SECURITIES
J. DALzELL BROWN GIVES ODD
EVIDENCE
Says Hartnett Told Him That Shade
of Departed Woman Authorized
His Actions - Criminal
Banking Alleged
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, June i'll. Dali
zell Brown, former manager OF the Cal
ifornia Safe Deposit and Trust conn
pany, testifying In the trial of Walter
j. Bartnett, former vice president and
chief counsel of the wrecked bank, to-
day said Bartnett told him the spirit of
the late ELLEN M. Cotton directed him
to use the Cotton securities, placed In
his care as executor of her estate, In
any way he saw fit.
Brown said some securities held in
trust by the bank were consumed in
the big fire on April IS, 1906
Bartnett, he said, advised officials of
the bank to tell Charles Dunsmoor.
state bank commissioner, who was
making an investigation of the banks
affairs, that the Cotton securities were
among those destroyed in the fire, when
as matter of fact they were saved
and were being used to secure loans
made by the bank, and were afterward
sold to raise money for the bank.
According to Brown. Bartnett had an
over aft at tho bank OF Si5,601 anu
owed the bank 100000 besides this.
Claim Causes Row
Bartnett arranged for the payment of
the $4,000 but over the settlement of
the claim for $4,000 the two officials
had falling out.
Brown has confessed to completely in
crimes alleged to have been committed
by officials of the bank and is now serv-
Ing sentence of eighteen months in the
penitentiary. 1t is his testimony which
the prosecution relies on to convict
Bartnett of the embezzlement of the
Cotton securities while he was acting
as executor of the estate of Mrs. Cotton.
Brown was on the stand all day, and
great deal of testimony bearing on
the relations of Bartnftt with the
wrecked bank was adduced from his
answers.
According to his statements officials
of the bank, following the advice and
directions of BARNETT, were led into
questionable and even criminal meth
DDS to bolster up the finances of the
bank, and conceal from the bank COM
missioners and the public its true con-
dition after the big fire.
More testimony OF this nature is
promised, and David Walker, former
president of the bank. will follow on
the stand.
