GROCER SENT TO JAIL
FOR ANNOYING WOMAN
Alleged to Have Forced Attentions on
Mrs. Alice Lewis in Doc
tors, Office

d. I. Imbert, proprietor of grocery
store in Boyle Heights, was found
guilty in Police Judge Chambers court
yesterday afternoon on charge OF dls-
turbing the peace by making improper
advances toward Mrs. Alice Lewis, and
was sentenced to serve sixty days In
the city jail.
According to the testimony of wit
nesses, Imbert made improper remarks
and ANNOYED Mrs. Lewis when the lat
ter entered his store to make purchases.
Although both are married, Imbert con-
tinued to molest her and frequently fol-
lowed her out of the store and into the
street.
Several days ago, according to the
testimony, Imbert followed Mrs. Lewis
to the office of DR.. l.. l.. Draper, where
she was receiving medical attention.
When DR.. Draper stepped out of his
office for a few minutes Imbert en-
tered the private room where Mrs.
Lewis was, and despite the fact that
She was only partly clothed, began to
annoy her.
The screams of Mrs. Lewis brought
DR. Draper to her assistance, and I'm
bert was forcibly elected
The matter then was reported to the
deputy district attorneys and warrant
charging Imbert with disturbing the
peace was issued.
Judge Chambers did not give Imbert
the privilege of paying a fine, but i'm
posed a straight jail sentence of sixty
days on the chain gang.

Will carry George A. Smith through as
partisan candidate and start good

for the secret Instructions on Doc

wageworker vote. The big boss was
here Tuesday, and whether he said II

"Smith for mayor of eourse-the party
nominated him." and all the little
bosses and legmen are telling 1t and
saying. smith for mayor-you cant

This is all quite disconcerting to Can

think his mayoralty organization should

In brief, the dependable voters in the
party are being herded where the ma
chine wants them, even to the extent
of taking a number away from Oscar
Parish, and the old-time yell is being
used. The gang is milling around, and
an effort is being made to stimulate a
belief that the old days when the po-
litical bureau ran everything are re-
turning. The hope is to frighten voters
who have strayed way into returning,
but 1t Is not having that effect With the
Republicans who place the good of the
city above the demand of the party
proprietors. Candidates Mushet and
Parish have lost, but hundreds of Re
publicans, including George Alexander.

fuse to pay any attention to the crack

THE league hitherto has waited until

CALUMET AND ARIZONA
AFTER SHATTUCK COPPER

The report that Calumet & Arizona
has or is negotiating for control of
the Shattuck property refuses to be
dOWned, says the Denver Mining Rec
ord. Buying of the stock during the
past two weeks has had some signif-
canoe, but was hardly aggressive
enough to indicate any important de-
velopments. Secretary Campbell de-
MED any basis for the story that Calu-
met & Arizona was in control of shat
tuck, and other directors of c. & A.
have corroborated his statements In
any event it looks as though there was
some development pending at the Shat
tuck possibly foreign entirely to the
c. & A. story.
Calumet & Arizona could handle the
Shattuck property admirably Shat
tuck has large ore bodies blocked out
ready to ship, but has no smelter 1t
is also reported that there is some
dissension among the directors and
heavy shareholders. There has been
some quiet absorption of Shattucl 60
ing on for weeks past, and apparently
from sources well informed

POLITICAL NOTES

w. C. lIushet invaded the Parish
neighborhood last night and addressed
a multitude at Jefferson and Norman
die streets composed Of nine men, two
women and one boy including the del
egation attending from the Mushet
mayoralty organization and three rep
resentatives of the Farish support,
who attended, they said. purely as a
matter of courtesy.
e. D. Seward of the 1920 precinct,
one of the San Pedro stalwarts who
was a candidate for the council, has
withdrawn his name.
Charles H. Randall editor of the
Highland Park Herald and member of
the park commission, has won numer-
Gus votes through his interest in the
progress of the city. His suggestion
for securing a slightly but less expen-
sive site for the city hall has called
forth many commentators,
Banks Cregier of Chicago, who has
been in Los Angeles to secure the fire
alarm system contract for the Univer-
sity district, found an old-time political
friend in j. K. Edwards. When Mr..
Cregier was secretary for his father,
then mayor of Chicago, Jack Edwards
was a prominent politician on the
north side and was one of the Cregier
lieutenants in the municipal campaign,
afterward serving the city as superin-
tendent of Lincoln park. Mr.. Cregier
gives Mr.. Edwards credit for winning
over some of the councilmen for his
fire alarm system.

her. But in the wisdom of its counsels
that body has determined that ii will
make no recommendation or sugges-
ton in this behalf There Is little
doubt that If the Good Government
organization had made such recon-
mendation this league would have APP
proved the same. But since 1t failed
to do so this league has felt that 1t
was incumbent upon 1t to investigate
as far as practicable the character
and qualifications of the numerous
candidates for the council, and par
ticularly OF those who have been anil
lated with the Good Government move
ment, and it has accordingly under
taken to do so.
AS a result of such investigation and
consideration of the personnel of that
body of candidates IL has determined
to suggest and recommend the follow
ing list of names as those of persons
who, as this league believes, will carry
forward the policies and reforms for
which the movement for good govern
ment in this city stands, to wit:
JOHN ID. WORKS. RICHMOND PLANT,
r. l.. O'BRIEN. ROBERT M. Lusk,
CHARLES II. RANDALL, II. J. WOOLLA-
COTT, JOsIAs j. ANDREWS, FRANK
WALKER, MARTIN +. BETKoUsKI
In recommending these names this
league is not insensible of the fact
that there are other men in the long
list of candidates for the council who
are we'll qualified for the position and
in all respects worthy of the confidence
and suffrage of their fellow citizens.
but IL must be remembered that there
are but nine councilmen to be elected
and but nine names can be voted for
in the primary election.
Respectfully submitted,
DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE.

Marian in Oil Sand

Saturday afternoon the Marian on
the thirty-two acres in the northwest
quarter of the southwest quarter of
section six went into the oil sand and
from every indication it will be fine
well. The depth is 207O feet and there
is forty-five feet of fine oil sand. The
fluid has risen 700 feet in the hole.
Tubing is being put in today and by
evening it is hoped TO have the we'll
on the pump.
Yesterday oil was forced up through
the water The bailer brought up
very rich sand and lots of oil. Direc-
tors of the company are very optimis-
tic and several predict two or three
hundred barrel well. The oil appears
to be somewhat heavier than the
most of the section six oil, but owing
TO the sand present, a reliable esti-
mate cannot be made at this time. A
report of what the product tested has
not been received.

william Erb of the Nevada Petroleum
company, which is operating ON the west
side of the Coalinga field is in Los An

Mr.. Erb was prominent figure in

1t was decided originally when the
idea of taking a straw ballot was
worked out to give each paper one
vote except those reserved for The
Herald, but as that might be con-
strued in the heat of the campaign
that the theatrical managers had been
stingy with the passes the number was
doubled. Enough ballots had been
prepared to make this possible.
The way they are wearing a 'straw
ballot" nowadays is something like
this:
First, tell the theatrical manager
what good advertising dodge it is.
Then prepare your ballots with the
name of the candidate you want to
help prominently at the top.
Distribute to suit.
Collect.
Take them to the office and count.
Take a heaping teaspoonful of blank
ballots and mark them properly, sub
stituting for an equivalent number of
the original package while warm.
Don't stir in these at the theater
or they may boil over and get into the
other papers, as was the case during
the recall election.
Announce the result with a pinch of
gusto and a little eclat.
Above all, if the boy who is acting
as chef gets peevish when you call
for the result too soon and says.
"Well, 1 gotto mark up the Mush bal
lots and stick in, amt l." do not
chide. He might leak the secret, and
above all the secret ballot must be
preserved.
If the theatrical managers desire the
advertising. The Herald will take
straw votes at all the leading play
houses. In that event following its
custom of getting there first with the
news, all results will be published the
day before each ballot is taken.

We have all heard the old wheeze of
tanning a lion or tiger by steadily
Keeping your eye fixed on him. Ac-

writer the other day, sis fond Of tobac-
co in some shape or form. l made
this discovery quite accidentally. Once,
when i was In America with this
show, one of the visitors, who was
smoking a cigar puffed some Of the
smoke into the lions face as he lay
asleep In the cage. l expected to see
a real riot but instead of that the lion,
after giving couple of sneezes, moved
quietly up to the bars and raised his
nose snittingly as if asking for a Sec

on all sorts of wild animals since, and
have found that most of them enioy

had bear here once that used to rub
his nose and back against the bars
