ATTORNEY SUES JUDGE
FOR ALLEGED SLANDER
J. MARION BROOKS DEMANDS
$4,000 DAMAGES
q. NJ. Smith Defendant in Suit Filed
by Lawyer Who Claims His
Reputation Was Ruined
by Words

A suit in which Attorney j. Marion
Brooks asks for damages in the sum
of $4,000 was yesterday filed in the
superior court against Judge b. N.
Smith, who is charged in the complaint
with slander.
In his complaint Brooks says he was
the attorney on March 10 for Warren
Gillelen in an application for letters
of administration upon the estate of
Nicholas Priester. On that date the
matter came up for hearing before
Judge Hutton, but was transferred to
Judge Smiths department. During the
preliminary hearing, he says, while
many persons were present, largely
American citizens and friends of the
plaintiff Judge Smith, in the pres
ence of Henry OMelveny, George p.
Adams and others, told Mr.. Brooks he
was in no condition to be heard.
The words, says Brooks, have greatly
disgraced and slandered him and
caused him to be Stunned by his
clients and friends; taken away from
him his means of living and destroyed
his reputation as an attorney of the
courts of the state to his damage in
the sum of $4,000.
Attorney Brooks says in his COM
plaint that Judge Smith has shown
animosity to him, not only by words
but by his manner. He declares he
has done the judge no wrong, either
directly or indirectly, by acts or words.
Brooks says his action is based solely
upon Judge Smith as citizen of the
state and has no reference to his posi-
tion as a superior judge.

REALTY BOARD GIVES
LUNCHEON FOR HOWELL
Prominent Federation President Urges
Organization to Effect Greater
Strength In Matters of
Legislation

At a luncheon of the Los Angeles
Realty board yesterday the guest of
honor was Maj. ]. r. Howell, president
of the California State Realty fedora
tion. A number of prominent real es-
tate men were present and several
speeches were delivered on organiza-
ton and legislation.
Howell was the principal speaker.
He said:
1T is simple matter for bills to be
introduced into the Legislature by mem
bers from various sections of the
state that affect the land owners, tax
payers and men that we represent, as
real estate brokers. A large percentage
of owners are clients of some of us. and
1t is incumbent upon us to look out for
and protect their interests before the
legislature next December"
Further, he said that the advice OF
an organization such as the. California
State Realty federation, representing
large part of the state. could not be
ignored by the legislature, that it was,
therefore, necessary to organize and
strengthen the powers of the fedora
ton. so that this work may be all the
more effective.

OLD GAME
eoLpFiELD MINER is GIVEN THE
DOUBLE CROSS
LOSES FIFTY-oNE DOLLARS TO
sWINDLERs
Matches Coins with Strangers and Is
Arrested by Make Believe De-
tectIves Who Take What
He Has Left

c. F. Ruff, Goldfeld miner, was the
victim yesterday afternoon of swindle
that is as old as the sand dunes on the
ocean front and which has been ex-
plotted in the newspapers so often that
even school children are no longer
fooled by 1t; but Mr.. Ruff was an easy
victim, according to the story he re-
lated to Detective Sergeant William
Kelley last night.
Ruff arrived here from Goldfeld sew
eral days ago and registered at the
Golden State hotel at Fifth street and
Central avenue. Yesterday afternoon
as he was standing in front Of the hotel
fire engine and hose wagon rushed by
on the way to fire.
A few moments later an excited indi-
vidual ran along and excitedly yelled,
Come on; let's go to the fire!"
Ruff ran along with the man, and
after they arrived at the scene and
found there was no fire the stranger
entered saloon and had drink, and
there met third man who after some
persuasion was induced to join the two
In a trip to the park.
Chutes park was the place the men
went and there the stranger proposed
that they match to see who should buy
another drink.
Match for Drinks
Ruff was not allowed to match for the
drinks, but after time he insisted on
matching coins. and the third man pro-
posed that they match for dollar. He
agreed to this, and the two strangers
did what is known as the double
cross and took SAL of Mr.. Ruff's money
before he realized that he was being
robbed.
Then he raised an outcry, and two
men ran up who said they were detec-
tives, but the two men who had been
matching with Ruff ran away, and the
miner was left with the supposed Of
ficers.
They explained he had been guilty
of a grave infraction of the law in
gambling and they were afraid they
would have to take him to the police
station.
They asked him If he had any money
left and he explained that he had $11.
They asked to see the money, and he
handed them a $40 bill and a silver
dollar.
Ruff was gravely informed that the
money was counterfeit and that they
would have to take it away from him,
and then they left with the admonition
to be more careful in the future how
he broke the law.
