FROM THE
CAPITAL CITY

There is big political fight on
In Argenta, over city politics, and
it promises to get warmer as the
date for the city primary draws
nearer. Saturday night a number
of citizens dissatisfied with the
Faucette administration and in
Guiding several persons formerly
high in the city government, met
and nominated John Farmer tor
mayor, in opposition to w. {.
Faucette, the present mayor and
candidate for reelection. Speeches
bristling with accusations against
the administration were made, and
it was declared that fight to the
finish would be made to lay the
present municipal aggregation on
the shelf. However, it is evident,
such an undertaking will involve
considerable effort as Faucette will
not lose any time in stalking his
fences against all corners for
mayoralty honors. DR.. w. II.
Arlington, member of the city
council and former secretary OF the
State Guard Association, is one OF
the leaders in the opposition to
Faucette's administration.
Contrary to reports concerning
Senator Jeff Davis new bill in
Congress it deals with the bucket
shop question, not with the trust
problem. Some time ago it was
announced that he was going to
attack the trusts again and that he
had introduced a bill to that effect
The bill was introduced on Dec
ember Q but it has nothing to do
with trusts. It's nature Is set forth
in the following from the preamble
''To prohibit any person or cor
poration, for themselves, or for or
In the interest of any other person
or corporation directly or indirect
ly, from delivering, receiving or
transmitting, and from being inter
ested in or aiding in any manner,
the receiving, delivering or trans
mitring by mail, telegraph, tele-
phone, Or other means whatever,
in any state, district, county, terri
tory, or place, over which the
sovereignty of the United States
now exists, any message, any
information, etc., whereby lntelli-
gence or information may be con
veyed concerning any transaction
OF proposed or supposed transact
ion, scheme, or plan to speculate
or gamble, or gain or lose money
called margins, which gains or
losses, respectively are made to
depend upon the future increase
or decrease of the market price OF
any product of the soil, ETC." In
other words the bill is aimed as
dealing in futures, in the common
acceptance of the term IN the
markets. Its provisions are very
drastic. He has given notice that
he will speak on the bill in the
senate, January 20.

Through his attorneys, T. G..
Malloy and Palmer Danaher, NJ.

ed, this morning filed suit in the
Faulkner circuit court for SIS. 900

train collided with a freight train
demolishing the car in which
Grifiths was riding and causing
his death. The plaintiff alleges
that the next of kin to Grifiths
was damaged in the sum of SIS 900
by reason of his death.
1t is further alleged that the de-
ceased was pinioned in the wreck
age and was scalded by hot steam
and burned by a stove, and for the
anguish suffered by him for several
hours before his death, the plaintiff
asks. damages in the sum of $40, 900.
Another case growing out of the
same wreck was tried at this court
last July, the plaintiff, Charles w.
Taggert being awarded $4,000
damages, which was the largest
personal injury judgement ever
rendered by this court.
Plaintiffs Make Answer.
Separate replies to the defend
ants answers were filed this morn
ing by the plaintiff in the cases of
John w. Mcleod against Mrs.
Blanch D. Moss and nine other
defendants. Mcleod is seeking to
obtain a one-hfth interest in large
and valuable tract of land in the

CHICAGO, June 11.-An application
was made today to Judge Lands in the
United States court for a writ of habeas
corpus on behalf of Herman Billik, who
Is sentenced to be hanged tomorrow for
the murder of five members of the
Vzral family by poison. The applica-
ton to Judge Lands by Billik's attor-
neys follows a rehearing of his fate by
the Illinois supreme court. Judge Lam
dis heard arguments in the afternoon.
but declined to do anything that would
in any way interfere with carrying out
the death sentence.
The friends of Billik were exceedingly
active throughout the day and num-
Der of meetings WERE held in various
parts of the city for the purpose of
bringing influence to bear upon the
governor to secure a Communication of
the death sentence.
Father OCallaghan, widely known
Paulist priest, was the leader at most
of these meetings, making passionate
appeals to the public to accept his the
ory of Billik's innocence and calling
upon it to do all things in its power
to save the life of Billik.
Billik personally, however, had little

expense to himself because no one
could change the note, Alec. Dun
can and j. A. wildrick, farmers from
the neighborhood of Elizabeth lake,
each with a corncob pipe in his mouth,
saw the sights in Los Angeles yester-
day without it's costing them dollar.
because nobody seemed to have small
change for a thousand dollar bill.
Alec and his friend Jim started in
early and stayed late. They saw all
the moving picture shows in town and
listened to the monographs. In this
manner they blew in 10 cents. Then
they got hungry and dropped in at
restaurant on Second street between
Broadway and Hill and ordered two
oyster stews. Alec wore a battered
straw hat that was in vogue during
General Grants first term in the White
house, while his friends top piece ante
dated 1t by a. decade. Collars and cuffs
were a luxery of modern times appar-
emily unknown to them.
"Put up your pipe" whispered Alec
as he looked about the dining room
which was filled with men and women.
When the waiter presented the
check for the repast the two "boys"
felt in their pockets for some change,
and discovered they had spent their
last nickel at the picture shows.
They looked at each other and then
at the waiter Elmer Graham.
"Could you cash a small check for
us?" asked Alec.
"I guess not" said Graham decided
ly. "You should not come in here If
you haven't any money"
We've got some money, but mebbe
you can't change it," said Wildrick.
"Guess I can change anything you
have" answered Graham.
"All right" said Duncan as he peeled
thousand dollar bill from his roll and
laid it on the table. There were three
other bills of the same denomination
In the roll. Graham picked 1t up.
looked at both sides of it and held ii
up to the light. He called the propri-
etor and they examined 1t together,
while the diners near by looked on in
amused interest. The waiter returned
the bill to Duncan. Eat all you want
boys. Your credit is unlimited. I did
not know there was that much money
in Los Angeles"
Duncan is in the city to look after a
$50, 900 damage suit he brought in the
superior court against F. Veysset
owner of the Mountain View ranch
at Elizabeth lake. Duncan says he
was dispossessed from the ranch be-
fore the lease which he has on the
property expired. The case is set for
trial July 10.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.-All
records in the case against the late
Judson c. Brusie, clubman and play
wright, charged with embezzlement Of
the funds of the Metropolitan Surety
company, were ordered stricken from
the books of the court and the bonds

From the bench Judge Weller said
he had issued the complaint and the
warrant for the arrest of Brusie upon
the statements he afterward learned
were false
He spoke feelingly of the dead man
and of his friendship for him.
The action of Judge Weller followed
an eloquent appeal for such action by
Attorney Samuel Shortridge, who re-
ferred to the charge made against
Brusie as ''hasty, malicious and
wicked"
The remains of Brusie, accompanied
by his widow, arrived in the city at
noon today and were conveyed to an
undertaking establishment.
Arrangements for the funeral cere-

are being made. No one appeared to-

Brusie and it is understood they will
be dropped ana his memory cleared of

BOAT CREW IS
FOUND GUILTY
SAN PEDRO MEN CONVICTED
OF CRUELTY
DEFENSE ADMITTED CHARGES
AS Preferred
Victory Scored by Prosecution In Case
of Men Arrested for Lifting
Cattle from Launch by
Neck and Heels

Judge w. F. Herndon of Hollywood,
appearing in separate defense for
Frank Benkert, and Attorney Wood of
Los Angeles in defense of Leland
Gregory and John Kellner, accused
jointly with Frank Gonzales. who did
not appear for trial, with cruelty to
animals, yesterday virtually admitted
in their closing arguments to Justice
Harry Steiglitz at San Pedro that all
the charges preferred against their
clients were true, but maintained that
the cattle lifted from the hold of the
launch Edith by the neck, horns and
heels were ''too tough" to feel pain.
The admission cost them their case,
for after hearing all the arguments on
both sides Justice Steiglitz declared the
defendants guilty. Sentence was sus-
pended until June "a.
Frank Gonzales, who forfeited his
bail when he failed to appear for the
first trial, May %, will be tried
separately at date yet to be fixed.
Witnesses were called to the stand
by the defense yesterday and all prac-
tically confirmed the stories told by the
witnesses for the prosecution, 1t evil
IDENTIFY being the aim of the defense
from the first to concede the practice
of the revolving methods heretofore
described by The Herald, but to build
up their hope of dismissal on the plea
that dumb driven cattle" cannot feel.
Hanging by the neck, heels and horns,
and such things as the whipping of
cattle with knotted ropes, or prodding
them up steep gang plank in a half
starved condition, after they had been
stuffed for over twenty-four hours in
the reeking hold of 81 narrow gasoline
launch, did not seem to be considered
cruel by the defense, If the purport of
their arguments was rightly understood
by those who heard them.
The conviction Of the men involved
in this case Is a decided victory for
Frank Atwood, Mrs. Weldon and others
of Los Angeles, who brought the case
to the attention of Humane Officer
Rambo of San Pedro, and with the aid
of The Herald, which was the first
paper in Los Angeles to give publicity
to the matter, brought their conviction.
