 FOR THE PEERLESS ONE''
Los Angeles Attorney, 6ryan's Double, Here on Legal Business.

Looking more like William J. Bryan than he did five years ago, when, at the St. Louis national convention, he was continually mistaken for the per petual democratic presidential candi- date, Isadore B. DOckweiler, the Los Angeles attorney and former candidate
 for lieutenant governor of California.
 came to Phoenix yesterday as counsel
 for Grant Brothers Construction com
 pany. which has brought suit against
 the Santa Fe road to recover damages
 for the loss os several cars of camp equipment, which were destroyed by
 fire The case will be tried in the dis
 trict court today.
 MT Dockweiler wore a broad brim
 black felt hat. made from the same
 block used by MT. Bryan. He wears the same long. black glossy hair. with a tendency to turn up at the ends, that MT. Bryan affects. A bell hop in the Adams mistook him for the great "cross of goId'' orator, and was imme diately rewarded with a dollar.
 Mir DockWeiler was accompanied by J. A. Burton, secretary of the Grant Construction company, and by James A CashiOn, superintendent of the company. The company is represent ed here by Judge Baker. The case is for the recovery of damages from the Santa Fe for the loss of camp equip ment which was on the way to Guay mas, where the Grant company is now building a road to Guadalajara, one of the greatest pieces of engineering now in course of construction on the continent. The cars were sidetracked near Wickenburg June :. 1907, when they caught fire and the contents de- stroyed s1O.O0O in damages is asked by the company.
 In 1902 Mir Dockweiler was candi- date for lieutenant governor on the democratic ticket with Franklyn K. Lane for governor. They were beaten by a small majority
 He was on the platform committee at the Denver convention, and was also a delegate to the St. Louis convention four years before, where he was kept busy explaining that he was not MT. Bryan, but a warm supporter and per sonal friend. and also glad that he looked like him. At both conventions he was joy and a delight to the car toOnists.
 Besides being many other agreeable things Mir. Dockweiler is an Elk He is a member of the executive commit tee in Los Angles. Be wise and come down to the big show" he said. "The EllIs will sweep over the United States like the army of Mohammed and de scend on Los Angeles 100000 strong. That is the number We expect, and the number we are making preparations to receive. Our new home. a seven story building, on Grand avenue and Third street, will be dedicated tomorrow night. and I wish l could be there to take part The Elks reunion in July will be the biggest ever yet neld-take my word for it. The hotel accommO- dations of Los Angeles. and the suburbs are ample to take care of this vast army We expect to raise S100,000 for the entertainment of our friends. Much of this money has already been raised We got S30.000 alone from an Elks' harvest. l hope that there will be an enormous delegation from Phoenix and Arizona to join with us in the festivities at that time"
 MT. DOckweiler said that he was as tonished at what he saw of the irriga- ton projects It is his first visit to Arizona. though his father was mining man ;n the territor,- shortly after he vent to the coast in 1858. "I "I shall take the first opportunity" said MT Dockweiler. ito ride about the val ley and compare it with the cultivated lands of California. From what I have seen l should say that you have made great progress in converting the desert into a garden
 In regard to Los Angeles politics MT. Dockweiler said that the recall was now matter of history and forgotten. He is a friend of former Mayor liar per and thinks that the mayor was ill advised. or he would not have resign ed. He spoke of the new mayor. Alex ander. and said that his appointments had thus far been excellent.
 Anyway" he said, we are all boost CTS for Los Angeles and local politics cannot disrupt us. l would like also to speak of the community of inter est between Los Angeles and Arizona. The people of Arizona are among the builders of southern California. We want them: we want their business, and we shall be glad to strengthen our business relations with this part of the country"
