Defendant Declares Case Is but Con-
tinuation of Personal Fight Waged
Against Him-one Suit
Thrown Out
Especial to The Herald.l

LONG BEACH, Sept. 1S.-To recover
$4,000, which he alleges DR.. w. R. Price,
head of the Psychological society, owed
him in fees for selling National Gold
Dredging company stock, George H.
Walker has brought suit, through his
attorney, f. A. knight, and has Sc
cured certain writs of attachment.
Walker claims that several people in
other parts of the country desire to
see the prosecution of DR.. Price. Dr..
Prices stock in the association which
built the Psychological temple was at
tached this afternoon. So far as could
be learned no other personal property
of his was attached.
The suit is regarded by DR.. Price as
a continuation of nersonal hght
against him. Walker brought sim
liar suit some time ago and 1t was
thrown out of court.
This suit will go the same way,
said the defendant in the action today.
"The whole thing is a personal attack
on me. 1 have met them before ana
will this time"
F. A. knight, Walkers attorney, said
thiz afternoon that the former suit
went far enough to enable him to learn
certain facts, which he can use in the
present suit to good advantage.

SANTA MONICA, Sept. 1S.-The
Santa Monica Bay Bryan club held
we'll attended meeting in the council
chamber at the city hall this evening.
That old Democratic warhorse, Joe
Simons. led off with a rousing appeal
to Democrats and Republicans alike.
He talked to his audience from the
standpoint of a business man and
neighbor. rather than as a Democrat
and politician.
He reviewed the situation of the two
previous presidential campaigns ana
laid the Republican victories of those
campaigns to the free use of eontribu-
tions from the great trusts and cor
porations. He carried his hearers
through a brief review of the financial
conditions from the. first Bryan cam
paign till now.
He laid great stress on the fact that
the Democratic party was the real
party of protection; that they believed
in protection for citrus fruits as we'll
as trust manufactured articles. He
stated that during the past five years
$50, ,291, ,476 worth of fruit was imported
into the United States free of duty,
and $54, ,979 600 worth paid only NOM
inal duty. why" he said, "are we
of the west not protected as we'll as
those of the east?'
William Fleet Palmer pointed out the
grave danger existing from a continu-
ance in power of the party of trusts.
He called his hearers attention to the
fact that the trusts could only exist
by the protection of a high tariff. He
briefly compared the prices, In the
United States and out, of trust-made
products and asked his hearers Whetner
it were right tnat the people at home
should be Disseminated against.
Attorney Loucks of Pomona followed
with brief review of the local stu
alton in politics. He made a strong
appeal for the support of the local
Democratic candidates by the voters or
Southern California.
A number of Photographic selections
were interspersed between the ad-
dresses, notable among them being a
speech by w. ]. Bryan, which was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm by the
assembly.
Judge Steele and Frank Richmond,
president and secretary of the club are

Especial to The Herald.l

PASADENA, Sept. 1S.-That Samuel
J. Mcclure, who left pile OF clothes

tence hanging over his head was ad-
mitted by local officers today.

was naroled. being placed in charge OF
Probation officer Dodge of Los Ange-
les. and, as he worked here, ordered TO
report each week to Constable Harley
Newell.
Newell admitted today that his ward
had deserted him. The oHense OF
breaking a parole makes it possible 1oI
place him in the penitentiary at once TO
serve the original term. Usually an
other year is added.
When he disappeared from the Char
ter Oak rooming house on Dayton
street last Monday morning McGulre
left a large number of worthless cnecks
here. The officers are certain that this
was his reason for pretending suicide,
and will probably institute vigorous
search for him, If one of the merchants
he 1eeced will swear out a warrant.
1t is said that Mcclure had an ac-
count of about $40 with the Union Ma
tional bank of Pasadena, which Is now
overdrawn to the extent of nearly $9o
in checks of a small denomination.
It is evident that these complications
caused Mcclure to believe that he
needed a change of residence. He was
seen packing an extra suit in bundle
shortly before he left his rooming house
here, and when pile of his clothes
was found on the beach the police at
once decided that it was merely a
sham
