FREDERICKS ANXIOUS TO
DISMISS MITCHELL CASE
Attorney for Man Charged with Voting
Twice objects Strongly and
Amended Complaint Is
Filed Accordingly

A mistake in the complaint against
Robert Mitchell, charged with viola
ton of the purity of elections law In
voting twice at the primaries of August
II, occurred when the paper was made
out, according to District Attorney
Fredericks, who asked for dismissal
of the complaint yesterday when Nit
chell appeared before Justice stephens
for preliminary examination. The
technical ground on which the dismissal
was asked was because there had been
left out of the complaint the proclama-
tion of the board of supervisors stating
the objects of the election, and the dis
trict attorney expressed the belief that
the complaint was not sufficient to
base an information on. He feared that
If Mitchell was held to answer in the
superior court he might be released on
habeas corpus proceedings.
Attorney Hunsaker, representing
Mitchell, strongly objected to a con-
tinuance of the examination or a dis
missal of the complaint, maintaining
that it was an injustice to hold any
longer a person who had been arraigned
and appeared ready for his examina-
tion.
Justice Stephens refused to dismiss
the complaint, but continued the hear
ing until Monday next
The amended complaint against Nit
chell was then filed and he was released
under the same bonds as those fixed at
the time of his first arraignment.

Resolved, further, That we are
unalterably opposed to the PROPOSE

grant and dispose of several thou

LINDA VISTA CITIZENS
OBJECT TO HEALTH CAMP
Claim That Land on Which 1t Is Sit
uated Slopes Toward Wells Sup
plying Water for Domes-
tic Use

That there is good ground for the
protest of citizens of Linda Vista, west
of Pasadena, against the establish
ment of q health camp at that place
was evidenced yesterday when a re-
port made by o. r. Stafford was rem
dered to the county board of supervis-
ors.
This report showed that the land
on which the health camp is located
and at which tuberculosis patients pre-
dominate slopes toward wells supply
ing water for domestic use, and there
fore may become a source of danger to
residents in the vicinity.
At present there are only two pa
tients in the camp and the place is re-
ported to be in a sanitary condition.
The use of more antiseptics is, how
ever, urged by the health officer. and
regulations are recommended forbid
ding the patients to leave the grounds.

HOTEL COMP ANY
IS HELD EXEMPT
JUDGE WILBUR RENDERS A
DECISION
WENTWORTH CASE INVOLVES
FULLY $25o,ooo
Orders Dismissal of Action Against
Corporation, but Does Not
Release Other De-
PENDANTS

A decision of great Importance to the
MANY creditors who hold mechanic lien
claims against the Wentworth Hotel
company, aggregating fully $780, 600, was
handed down by Judge Wilbur Yester-
day in the suit Of Frank N. Thomas
against the Wentworth Hotel company
and others.
be dismissed against the defendant cor
poration, but does not release other de-
PENDANTS He points out that the de-
fendant corporation Is insolvent; that
an assignee has been bound; that the
claim involved in the present SUIT mas
been proved in the insolvency matter
and that, under such condluons, the
bankruptcy law expressly prohibits the
maintenance of q suit against cor
poration.
Allegations were made by certain de-
PENDANTS that resolutions of the dlrec-
tors of the Wentworth Hotel company
attempted to release them from fully
$4,000 worth of their subscriptions TO
the capital stock of the corporation;
On this point the court says Inc
authorities clearly hold that such IA
release as was here attempted is IN
valid without the unanimous consent
of ali the stockholders and the existing
creditors, although there Is some dis
agreement as to whether a subsequent
creditor can take advantage of such IN
validity. The plaintiffs assignor was a
creditor before the release became et-
fective, and his consent was necessary
at all times. / think the fact that ne
was a creditor would make the amount
of his indebtedness immaterial as to the
validity or invalidity of the purporteo
releases. These releases should be con-
| sidered as absolutely void against the
plaintiffs assignor, who was creditor
at. the time such release was at
| tempted"
| AS to the stockholders statutory and
subscription liability the court says
at would not only work endless cor
| fusion to hold the party as subscriber
and stockholder for one purpose ano
not for another, but it is clearly proved
| that where a party is liable on his sub
| scription to the corporation because OF
| the inyalidity of the attempted release
| he must by that fact continue to be q
stockholder and thereby liable as such
in an action upon the statutory oollga-
tions."
AS to the purchase of surrendered
stock, the court hods that: "Notw1th-
standing the invalidity of the release OF
| the original subscribers, where por'
ton of the stock so released to the cor
poration has been taken by others an(
| paid for, this operates in effect as 1
| transfer of the obligations from the re
| leased stockholders to the new pur
| chasers of the stock. Therefore thu
amount due from each stockholder PR
rata at the time of the mourning of th'
second indebtedness should recognize
| Warner as a stockholder to the exten
of $50 shares and release the defendant
| to that extent"

SAY He PLANNED TO
BLOW UP PIPE LINE
YOCKEY CLAIMS CONSPIRACY
AGAINST HIM
Woman Detective Asserts She Was
Forced at Point of Revolver to
Sign False Accusations
Against Miner

Fred Yockey, arrested Sunday on a
charge of conspiring to blow up pipe
line belonging to the yellow Aster
mines, was yesterday taken to Rands-
burg by Constable Dave Thompson OF
that place, but promises to return to
Los Angeles for the purpose of prose-
cutting enemies who, he says, have en-
tered into conspiracy to railroad MIN
to the penitentiary.
Yockey, who at one time was vice
president of the Western Federation OF
Miners at Randsburg, said yesterday
that he had resigned his Office IN the
Randsburg local and had come to Los
Angeles a week ago, preparatory 10 go
ing to the oil fields. His principal rea-
son for leaving the mining camp, ne
said, was because he discovered the plos
against him and wished to avoid
trouble.
The principal witness who is expect
ed to appear in Jockeys behalf is Mrs'
Alice G. Clark, a woman detectlVe nv
ing at 1924 East Forty-eighth street.
Los Angeles, who, according to her own
statement, was the unwilling tool OF
Yockey's enemies. Mrs. Clark declares
she was forced by Joseph Coplan, de-
tectiye, at the point of a revolver TO
sign reports to the Mining company ana
a detective agency in this city, lmp1-
eating Yockey in the plot to destroy tne
pipe line. She now says these reports
are false and We're signed through rear
According to Yockey, the whole plot
Is ridiculous, but he declared he would
fight the matter to a finish. They
saw" he commented, "that planned TO
blow up the pipe line. Do you imagine
for a moment would do this when the
only damage would be the destruction
of a couple OF links which could be
remedied in short time? 1 have
nothing against the yellow Aster COM

him are enough for his neeus, OF

not friendly with the union, and in that
fact lies the whole trouble.
Yockey and Mrs. Clark were at Az
torney Appers office yesterday, ana a
detailed account of the alleged plan TO
send Yockey to the penitentiary was
given. 'I will not see an innocent man

said: "I paid $36. so for the services of
a masseur to whom l objected, and on
one occasion Mrs. Mayr abstracted
from my pockets $40. During that year
1 paid $33 for. presents, most of which
went to her people. For amusements
1 paid $27. 3d."
"And you charged that to your wife's 8
household expenses?" asked the at

Certainly" replied Mayr; where
else should 1 charge them?"

these he also charged to household ex-

Did you buy some cigars, also?"
