is much opposition to the plans and
bills introduced by the republicans,
ard the intention is to frame a bill
that will benefit the people of the
whole country. irrespective of Sec
tons
Williams objects to the Aldrich
bill, because it makes railroar bonds
the basis of bank circulation. He
does not like the Fowler bill because
it favors the national banks to the
exclusion Of the state banks. To
make the protection equal to all, the
snanority plasA it is said, will provide
for the guarantee of all depositors in
the national banks.

pHOERE CoUZINS AMUSING
SAYS w. c. T. U. SECRETARY

Evenston, Ill, Feb. THE Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
has ben acknowledged b. statesmen
educators and intelligent leading re-
formers to be the most intelligent,
active, aggressive and practical tenn
perance body of workers in the field
OF reform. Thirty-four years of ex-
perience and investigation along al
most every line that touches human
endeavor for the bctterment of Gr1af1-
kind has educated hak a million wo-
men n the country to = degree new
er before attained.
When a man like Mr.. Tillnlan,
born and bred to the doctrine of
state rights opposes the shipment of
liquor into prohibition states it is
amusing that Phoebe Couzins should
call such opposition and encroaeh-
meat upon the rights of freemen. We
believe the federal government should
sustain TUG Wal VA tnC pSopiC WIZ
vote for state prohibition instead OF
making it easy for lawbreakers to nul
lily the provisions of state law OF
state constitution, as has been the
case for years.
It IS time that individuals acquain,
themselves with the history of tht
temperance revolution in which VIZ
are now engaged in all of its phases

BRUSH FIRE CAUSES
WIDESPREAD ALARM
Burning of Chaparral on Mount Whit
tier Starts Rumor That Holly
wood and Toluca Had
Suffered

A brush fire on the Mount Whittier
pasture near Toluca yesterday alarmed
the residents of Hollywood, who feared
that considerable damage had been
done. 1t was reported in Hollywood
that varying loss had included prop
erty from the Cahuenga tavern in one
rumor to the Toluca bridge in another.
None OF the rumors proved correct,
as the loss was only fifty acres of
chaparral, and the fire was started in
tentionally' to get rid of brush on the
pasture. 1t died down at noon and
again blazed up, apparently so fiercely
that Hollywood was accordingly mis-
led.
The rangers say the damage which
may result from forest fires is as great
now as at any time in the summer.
for the grass is very dry on the noun
tains. The loss of time for lack of
short trails was so apparent in the
recent fires that number of impor-
tant short cuts will be constructed dur
ing the winter by the forest rangers.
One of these will be run from Mount
Lowe to the barley flats and save six
miles in getting to the Chilah valley,
where a bad fire was fought at great
disadvantage last August. The trail
will run from the west forks of the
divide between the forks of the San
Gabriel and Arroyo Seco, saving the
long detour through West Fork canyon

The Sirocco, laden with railroad iron,

storm when off the Bahamas and was
dismasted after running before the
wind, when she struck and vent to

WARNER ARRESTED;
CALLS 1T INJUSTICE
Well Known Attorney Accused oi
Uttering Worthless Check Says
His Complainant Broke
Faith with Him

A. D. Warner, we'll known attorney
with offices in the Security building,
was arrested last night by Constable
Ben Cohn on a warrant sworn out in
Justice j. w. Summerfield's court on a
charge of uttering a worthless check.
Mr.. Warner, as soon as he learned of
the issuance of the warrant for his
arrest, sought out Constable Cohn and
went to the county JAIL where he sur
rendered and at once gave 5000 cash
bond for his appearance in court.
The check on which the complaint
was based was one given by Mr. War
ner to Dolph w. Robinson, a clerk in
his employ, in payment of salary and
expenses.
According to the statement made by
Mr.. Warner last night, he told Robin
son at the time he gave him the check
that there would not be money enough
in bank to meet the same before Mon
day next, and to hold the check or see
that it did not reach the bank before
that time.
Mr.. Warner stated that he had ar
ranged to make deposits Monday morn
ing which would more than overbalance
the amount of the check. He considers
his arrest an act of injustice.
Robinson, it seems, presented the
check at the bank for payment, and it
was returned to him marked mo
funds" He then took the paper, went
before Justice Summerfield and had the
warrant issued for Mr.: Warmers arrest.

WOOLW WINE BUSY
POLICE ON LID
EVERYTHING QUIET UNTIL
PROBING is OVER
Reported That Downtown Private
Gambling Places Have Been Told
to Close While Investi-
gator Is at Work

Desperate efforts are being made to
head off anything that will aid in the
presentation of graft evidence to the
grand jury but it is expected that
something definite will take shape this
week. Mr.. Woolwine was still in
trenched in private office yesterday
sitting evidence, and had nothing to
say regarding any phase of his work.
He would not state whether an an
nouncement may be expected tomorrow
as to his resumption of authority to
conduct graft cases. This is expected
at the court house, although it is also
said that nothing authoritative will be
made public until the evidence is all
before the grand jury.
Activity in the red light district" or
rather the suppression of activity III
that section last night gave an indica-
ton of the move that is being made to
prevent the accumulation of any evil
dence at this time.
The district was guarded by score
of policemen specially scattered
through it, and everything was ex-
ceedingly quiet. The supposition is that
the police feared that MI. Woolwine
might have men at work to secure evil
dence, and that they intended to make
a good showing. Chief Kern is said to
have been notified last week that Mr..
Woolwine might make personal tour,
and following that rumor police officers
are reported to have had instructions
to be unusually Vigilant on that even
ing.
Another report is that gambling CEN
ters which have been conducted at
prominent places will be told to close
this week and to keep closed until ''the
fuss blows over" One of these is in a
drug store in the heart of the business
district, two others are in connection
f1aOr fn- NtrI1f % iG
purported to be run as side line of a
saloon. None of them is very far from
the city hall. A recently opened gam
lding resort owned by a leading poll
tician is located in the rear of his
saloon in a back lot and protected by
high fence, and it is said that this
place will continue to run.
1t was reported at the court house
yesterday that these resorts had been
named to Mr.. Woolwine with evidence
of their character but that he would
not take them up until he had finished
his first plans of graft investigation.
Another rumor was to the effect that a
real estate and insurance broker haV-
ing offices in Main street office build
ing had been the collector of the graft
money from the landladies in the ten
derloin, and that he would be hailed be-
fore the grand jury within few days.
This man is said to have made regular
visits to the houses and to have had
dealings entirely with the women who
conducted them, so that the occupants
could not know that their money went
to any higher graft sources than the
landladies. 1t is said that pressure will
be brought upon the man to induce him
to tell to whom the money went in
order to save himself from being made
the scapegoat.
Fhe grand jury will meet at 10 o'clock
! tomorrow morning.
