Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, June 1.-THE Pasadena
Realty Purchasing company is engaged
in lively row, centering in a check for
5000 which j. E. Youtz of 334 Howard
street is alleged to have embezzled.
Chester d. Sargent of $50 South Hollis
ter street, president of the company,
makes this allegation, and has applied
to District Attorney Fredericks for a
warrant on which to have Youtz ar
rested.
The check was signed by Fred A.
Ryan for stock purchased, and YOUTH,
who was secretary of the company last
summer kept it when it was turned in
to cover, as he says, a like sum which
he had advanced some time before to
meet a draft on the company at a
time when there were no funds in the
bank Sargent, on the other hand,
claims that the check came in before
the draft did, and also says that he has
a check Endorsed by YoutZ which shows
that the company had reimbursed him
already. Youtz, he states, was dis
charged a few months later for alleged
dishonesty.
Both sides present numerous counter
claims, Youtz saying that the company
has been continually mismanaged and
never really solvent, while Sargent
claims that he has for a long time
been continually urged to expose
family.
Youtz, but did not like to humiliate his

SAY RAILROAD COMPANY
FRANCHISE is FORFEITED
Santa Monica Trying to Compel Los
AngeIes-Pacific to Double-Track
Line and Improve Its
Service
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, June 17.-By a
technical construction of a clause of
the franchise under which the Los An
geles-Pacif1c railroad is operated here,
it is claimed by the city authorities
that the company has forfeited its right
to run cars through Santa Monica. The
railroad is seeking authorization for
laying tracks on Montana avenue to
Seventh street, and on Seventh street
to Oregon avenue, thus completing a
circuit to accommodate local travel.
Mayor Dudley insists upon a double
instead of a single track, and an agree
ment that cars shall be run frequently.
The discovery of the supposed for
fixture clause in the original franchise
will operate, 1t is hoped, to make the
railroad come to time" A month ago
the running of cars over Utah avenue
and Third street was discontinued
Hence the claim of possible forfeiture
of nearly all rights in Santa Monica.
The clause upon which the matter
hinges is this: 1.-THE grantee of this
franchise shall be required to commence
operating cars Immediately over all
portions of said Streets where the lines
are now constructed, and continue their
operation every day during the life of
this franchise, unless prevented by the
elements"
Practically all of the trackage within
the old limits of the city, south of Mon
tana avenue and west of Seventh
street, comes under the existing fran
chiSe.

SAN BERNARDINO. June 17.-Jus-
titiable homicide. by a vote of six to
three was the verdict returned this
evening by the coroner's jury which
has been In session for the past two
days hearing the evidence in the shoot
ing of heterogeneous Hartman, the Mo-
jave river cattleman, by Justice of the
Peace Stanley w. Houghton. When
the verdict was read Coroner G. d. Van
VIE, addressing the jury, said that he
Endorsed every word.
Hardly had the coroner's jury filed
out of the room when Detective w. H.
Baldwin served Houghton with a war
rant charging him with the murder of
Hartman, the complaint having been
sworn to earlier in the day by Hart
mars widow. Hought on will appear
tomorrow morning before Justice of the
Peace G. l.. Thomas on an application
for bail made by his attorney. Senator
H. nj. Willis.
1t is understood that District Attor-
ney Dickson will not oppose the appli-
cation for bail, so in all probability
Houghton will gain his liberty. When
the preliminary hearing will be held
is doubtful, as the calendar is filled for
sonic time to come. 1t is believed quite
generally that HoughtoE's case will
never come to trial.
The inquest today was filled with
sensations. The large number of wit
nesses heard during the day all agreed
that Hartman had been on a rampage
and had threatened to kill his wife,
everyone who had been instrumental in
his prosecution and anyone else whom
he could get his hands on. One wit
ness testified that Hartman threatened
to kill his wife because she was to
blame for his again facing the peni-
Tertiary.
Houghton at the last moment took
the. stand and made some rather dam
aging admissions, 1t being evident
from his testimony that he had feared
he would be compelled to kill Hartman.
He believed that he had only done his
dilty.
