REAL ESTATE BROKER
FREED; RE-ARRESTED
ALLEGED F0RGER ARRAIGN NED
AND REMANDED TO JAIL
Defense Shows No Intent to Commit
Fraud Was Made by Prisoner.
Another Charge Filed
Immediately

SAN BERNARDINO, June 12.-John
H. Lightfoot a prominent former real
estate broker of San Bernardino, ar
rested two weeks ago on a charge OF
forgery, was today discharged from
custody by Justice Thomas, after he
had taken the case under ADJUSTMENT.
On instructions from the district attor-
ney's office, Lightfoot was rearrested
Immediately by Constable Allen on the
same charge.
Anticipating that Lightfoot would be
ordered released by Justice Thomas, the
district attorney had taken steps to
have another charge prepared, which
was filed with Justice Hanna of Cotton.
The alleged forger was Immediately ar
raigned before the Cotton justice and
committed to the custody of the sheriff
in default of $500 bail.
The court room was crowded with
friends of the accused man. Justice
Thomas delivered lengthy decision in
which he not only reviewed the evil
dence which had been offered but also
other considerations in the case. The
justice spoke feelingly of the relatives
Of the man by whose hasty and unfor-
tunate act disgrace would be brought
on the wife and young daughter and
aged father If he was convicted.
The complaint charged Lightfoot with
wilfully defrauding S. Jones by forging
the deed to the latters land. The de-
tense proved there was no intent to
defraud Jones, and it was on these
ground that Justice Thomas released
Lightfoot.
It is believed the state never will be
able to convict the formeA broker.

ANNIVERSARY FEAST
RAMONA PARL0R OBSERVES
TWENTY-SEC0ND YEAR
Members of Los Angeles Society Go
to Redondo, Where Banquet Is
served-Program of Speech
making Given

REDONDO BEACH, June Zone
hundred members of Ramona parlor
No. 100 of Los Angeles, Native Sons
of the Golden West celebrated the
twenty second anniversary of the par
lor this evening with a banquet and
high jinks at Hepburn e. Terrys at the
Pavilion.
They made the building ring from
the time of their arrival until their
departure, taking relays at the roast
chicken and stuffed clans, rising to
impromptu toasts, greeting their fa-
Yorite josher with catcalls and jibes
and having a good time generally.
The feast was under the general de
rection Of "Poncho' Palomares, who
in his lucid intervals holds down the
desk of assessment clerk at the city
hall. slaughter house Houser, COM
monty known as "Pinkie,' circulated
the room making impassioned appeals
for donations to the H1lks Booster
fund. Edwin Meserve was therein
fact he was all there, and very little
in the edible line got by him.
Lyle Pendegast amused himself
trying to detect clans in the chowder
and scored his usual Sherlock Holmes
results.
Bert Farmer circulated around-that
is, he circulated around his share Of
the roast chicken and any he could
get that belonged to anybody else
Asa Keyes and Guy Eddie laid aside
their law duties long enough to in
dulge in a discussion as to whether
clam chowder a la Bryanteau consti-
tuted a libel or not. One commended
that as the person whom the caterer
intended to honor was not connected
with the clam family there was a dis
tinct libel
Marshall Singleton was another
devotee of roast chicken a la Eek
stromeau and wasn't afraid to say so.
J. N. ORech was Johnnie on the spot,
and the spot had to do with a liberal
share of the raspberries and cream
rolls. City Clerk Lelande and License
Clerk LOWE were both present, as was
Gas House Stamps.
After the mob had destroyed an of
the supplies that the management
would turn loose they were willing to
sit and absorb the oratorical stunts
that the program committee had billed
for the occasion, which was printed on
the program as follows:
Toastmaster f. A. Meserve, giving
each speaker his cue; F. A. Steven
son, Ramona parlor; j. N. O'Rech,
California; F.. B. LOWE, Pioneersi II.
c. Lichtenberger, Our Order; Nathan
P. Bundy, grand parlor. A cornet solo
by Mat Grennen was listened to with
growing indignation, which was only
quoted by his threatening to play an
encore
The menu which invited the guests
to partake of the toothsome dainties
was in the shape of a California bear
and read as follows:
Clam chowder la Bryanteau. fish
a la Palomari. stuffed CLANS a la
Duni. roast chicken la Eckstromeau,
salad la Edgertoni, cream rolls with
crushed raspberries, waters, cheese,
coffee, refreshments, cigars.

HOLLYWOOD TO HAVE
TWO DAILY PAPERS
Believed Organ Which Fails to Secure
City Printing viii Not Be
Able to Come Out
Each Day

HOLLYWOOD, June 1.-THE city of
Hollywood will have two daily papers
instead of two weeklies, beginning next
Monday, and it is predicted one of the
papers will fail. The city ordinance
provides that the city advertising must
be done in a daily paper, and as an un-
usually large contract is promised this
year the Hollywood Sentinel and the
Hollywood Citizen have both announced
their intention of starting daily paper
and of endeavoring to underbid each
other for the contract. The fight, which
promises to be a hot one, will result in
the city's printing being done at a
greatly reduced figure, probably below
cost, and in forcing the losing paper
to the wall.
Charles b. Mosteller, managing editor
of the Hollywood Sentinel. said yester-
day afternoon that if the Hollywood
Citizen gets the contract for the city's
printing for the coming year it will do
it at figure which will put the paper
on a losing basis. The advertising for
the paving of Prospect avenue will be
in itself a large contract, and several
others are anticipated.
The Hollywood Sentinel has already
installed a new printing press, prepara-
tory for Mondays issue. The bids will

ing strenuous efforts to secure adver-
Using from the local merchants.

IMPROVEMENT MADE
AT BEACH DISTRICT
OCEAN PARK DISPLAYS MOD
ERN THEATER BUILDING
Structure to Be Used for Moving Pic
lures and Illustrated Songs
Is of Moorish Arch-
lecture

OCEAN PARK, June 12.-Among the
many improvements which have been
made in the Pier avenue section of the
beach district during the present sea-
son is the construction of La Petite
theater by w E. Wheelock. The build
ing, which is two stories tall and cost
1000, stands at the corner of Marine
street and Ocean Front, and enters into
the general color schome of the Front
to perfection.
One of the attractive features of the
building itself is the exterior decora-
ton. The outside is figured in the
vivid colors of the Moorish period OF
architecture, and the gifts and blues of
the general scheme add greatly to the
general holiday effect of the section in
which the building stands.
The interior is fitted with up-to-date
furnishings, and is said to be the latest
design of any moving picture house IN
the United States. Upholstered opera
chairs of the most comfortable pattern
are placed in the gallery and on the
main floor, while the facilities Tor
quickly emptying the house In case OF
an emergency are equal TO those OF any
first class theater in the west.
Mr. Wheelock intends to run the lat
est and best moving picture exhibitions
to be secured, having contract for the
best syndicate films, and has engaged
some of the best talent to exploit his
Illustrated songs.
The seating capacity of the house is
nearly 1000, and the popularity of the
enterprise already is assured, packed
houses being the rule ever since the
opening night which was on last Sat
urdav evening.

Colleague of Former Candidate for
Presidency of United States Pays
Tribute to Worth of His
Associate

PASADENA, June 12.--Eulogized by
his old-time friend and coworker in the
cause of prohibition from back in their
early days in Cleveland, Ohio, and
mourned by prohibition societies not
only of California but of the entire
country the body of Gideon Tabor
Stewart, three times the candidate of
the prohibition party for the presi-
dental office, was laid at rest here this
afternoon after almost eighty-five years
devoted to the cause.
Rev. Wilbur F. Chapman, one of the
stanchest friends of the deceased, de-
livered the funeral Grafton, and there
was scarcely a dry eye in the undertake
ing chapel when he concluded. He was
preceded by Mrs, Hester Griffith of
Los Angeles, state president of the w.
C. r. u, in which Miss Mary A. Stew
art, daughter of the deceased was an
active worker. Mrs. Griffith gave the

ing the last few years.
The coffin and bier were hidden liter

ANIMAL REFUGE OF HUMANE
SOCIETY WILL OPEN SOON

PASADENA, June 10. With its
buildings repaired and corrals erected,
the animal refuge of the Pasadena
Humane society will open next week to
the public. 1t embraces several acres
at the lower end of South Raymond
avenue, cottage for the man in
charge, a barn with box stalls and
kennels and a separate house for cats.
1t is the object of the society to care
for all injured, sick or old animals. and
while at first it will be undertaken on
a scale commensurate with the small
subscriptions to the fund, it is hoped
in time to make it as important a
feature of the humane work of the
country as that of the Red Acre farm
in Massachusetts, after which it is
modelled.
The home will also be used as the
city pound, and the fees for caring for
strays will go to the society. People
who desire to provide a good home for
aged and infirm pets can do so with the
assurance that they will receive the
best of care for a fee which will be
just large enough to pay the expenses
of the animal. f. M. Chaplin, special
officer of the society will have charge
at the home.

NEEDLES FEARS COLORADO
RIVER WILL FLOOD TOWN

SAN BERNARDINO, June 12.-Re-
ports from Needles indicate the resi-
dents of that city fear disastrous re-
suits from the impending rise of the
Colorado river, which it is thought will
flood the entire lower part of the town.
Already the river is within three feet
of the bank on the Needles side, and
if the reported rise of six feet which
is predicted TO occur at the head
waters before the middle of the month
prevails at the bend above the desert
city there is little hope that the water
will not enter the lower portion of
the town.
On account of the low lands on the
Arizona side it is hoped by the resi-
dents of Needles the greater part OF
the flood waters will be turned against
the lower bank across the river and
the flooding of the city be averted
If the rise is gradual in all prob
ability Needles will escape with but
little damage. The bank on the Cali
fornia side of the river continues to
give way. The water eating into the
light sub-soil allows the heavier sur
face to slide into the water.
