NORTHUMBERLAND
ON SEARCH OF ROOMS
MESSENGER BOY KNOWN BY
MANY ALIASES
Silks, OVercoats and Other Costly
Wearing Apparel Unearthed.
Goods Identified by
Their Owners

In the arrest of Phil Beutter, alias
Peter Fenter, alias Dutch" who was
taken into custody Friday, and Newton
Barnes, alias Red" who was caught
at Long Beach Saturday night by De-
tective James Mcnamara, the police
believe they have prisoners who are
responsible for numerous robberies.
A search of the room of one of the
boys, who were employed by different
messenger companies, resulted in the
finding of quantity of stolen prop
erty. Among the articles recovered are
two overcoatS and other clothing taken
from the room of G. E. Agenbroad at
the Hotel Astoria, 24S South Olive
street, and safety razor and several
other toilet articles stolen from the
room of DR.. David Sniff at the same
hotel
In other rooms occupied by the mes
sengers at various times goods con-
sisting of costly wearing apparel, silks;
and embroidered skirts, valued at $500
or $400. were found.
Several persons visited the station
yesterday to look at the stolen goods
and see if they could identify them as
their own.
The detectives say they will connect
the prisoners with other robberies be-
fore they have finished their investi-
cations.

that my judgment on this matter is not
biased or prejudiced in their favor
This amendment is intended to pre-
vent a repetition of the political con-
ditions under which the present city
administration came into power. Mayor
Harper was elected, although he re-
ceived only about one-third of the total
number of ballots cast. 1t is stated
that his victory was made possible in
this Republican city because the Re
publican machine in the last forty-eight
hours of the campaign abandoned the
Republican candidate and supported
Harper. This gave him all the vicious.
immoral and criminal votes of the city,
and we have suffered for it ever since.
1t also gave him the support of many
better citizens, who vote their party
ticket blindly because of its label Sup
porters of minority parties unite with
all other good citizens in desiring to
Los Angeles herald., 1909-02-01

protect our city from the evils which
follow such situation, and this is just
exactly what charter amendment No. 4
is intended to accomplish.
We are not willing, however, to have
our smaller parties destroyed in the
effort to accomplish this laudable and
worthy reform. Will amendment No.
lnJure these minority parties? | think
not. This amendment provides that
any 100 citizens may petition to have
the name of their representative placed
upon the ballot for the first, or NOM
mating election.
Prior to that election we will all
have a fair and equal opportunity to
present the personal qualifications Of
our candidates and the principles which
they represent before the people for
their consideration and support. We
have every single opportunity and facil-
ity for agitation and education that we
now possess at the general election.
But we have still another great ad-
vantage. Unless this amendment shall
result in securing a much cleaner and
abler class of nominees by the old par
ties than they have usually had in the
past it will result in the nominees of
the minority parties receiving much
more than their normal vote, because,
as we have always claimed, our NOM
ineeS are more intelligent, capable and
gard has been well founded we may
rest assured that the vote cast for Our
nominees on their merits as men will
be largely increased. Because Of the
absence of the party designation which
has always tended to reduce our vote,
owing to the prejudices that have been
engendered against all minority parties
by our larger opponents and their press.
Should amendment No. 2, providing
for the election of councilmen at large,
be adopted also, then it will be much
easier for minority parties to secure the
election Of at least one of their candi-
dates for the common council by NOM
mating their ablest and most capable
representative, who should win on his
individual merits, to say nothing of the
opportunity of single shotting,' as it
is designated, should that seem desir-
able at any time. I am strongly in
favor of the adoption of charter amend
ments Nos. and and hope to see
them both win Tuesday,"
The charter amendment committee of
the City club will hold it's final meeting
this evening at o'clock at the club
headquarters, 507 Lissner building, for
the purpose of giving instructions to
precinct workers. All citizens who de-
sire to assist in this work are requested
to call at headquarters some time dur
ing the day or evening to receive litera-
ture, instructions and supplies.

~ NE of the most discussed phases of
the charter amendments is the
probable effect of amendment No.
on the smaller parties. This has been
thoroughly investigated by Fred F.
Wheeler, who has been a minority party
man for nearly thirty years.
Il am informed, said Mr.. Wheeler
yesterday, that some of the citizens of
Los Angeles who support the minority
parties-the Prohibition, the Socialist
and the Labor Union-are inclined to
oppose charter amendment No. on
the ground that it is unfair to them and
gives the older and larger parties an
advantage. AS a citizen who for
twenty-eight years has consistently
supported one of these minority par
ties and who never yet has been guilty
of voting either the Republican or
Democratic ticket, perhaps I may claim

THREATENS TO KILL
HER ON HIS RELEASE
SAYS WIFE is TRYING TO GET
RID OF HIM
Former Transfer Company Proprietor
Draws Rusty RevoIVer-Has Given
Woman Property Valued by
Him at $4,000

Il will kill my wife just as soon as
I get out of Jail" said Charles A Par
sons formerly proprietor of a large
transfer company, to the desk sergeant
at the central police station while he
was being booked on a charge of dis
turbing the peace. Parsons was ar
rested at his home, Brooklyn avenue
and State street, by Patrolman Arguello
while creating a disturbance.
Parsons says he decided his wife
property worth $4,000 some time ago,
and declares that ever since she has
been trying to get rid of him. They
have quarreled frequently, he says,
and sometimes almost came to blows.
According to his story the trouble
yesterday morning was the result of
gossip, unfavorable to him, that reached
him in an indirect way.
A short time ago, it seems, Mrs.
Parsons was sick and her husband
boiled some milk for her He prepared
the nourishment in the best and quick
est manner he knew. His wife was
nbt satisfied and told the neighbors,
so Parsons says. that it took her hus
band two hours to boil a pint of milk.
The recipient of this piece of news told
it tos others, and finally it reached
Parsons.
Yesterday morning he rebuked his
wife for making such statements, and
soon there was lively quarrel. Finally
his anger overcame his reason and
Parsons snatched a rusty revolver that
was lying in a corner and snapped it
several times at his wife. Her screams
brought Patrolman Arguello, who
placed Parsons under arrest.
Parsons was locked up in the city
Jail and because of his declaration that
he would kill his wife when released,
was not allowed the benefit of bail.
He will be arraigned in police court
this morning, and it is probable he will
be required to furnish a bond to keep
the peace.
