MAN ACCUSED OF FALSE
PRETENSES DISCHARGED

B. r. Edwards, arrested two weeks
ago on a charge of obtaining property
from ]. d. Ryan by false representa-
tions. was ordered discharged from
custody by Judge Davis yesterday, af-
ter Edwards attorney, John Boards
ley, had taken the case into the GRIM
inal court on a writ of habeas corpus.
Edwards purchased eight horses
from Ryan November 2, giving him a
promissory note for $775 and 800 I'm
cash. In support of his assurance he
was in a position to pay the note when
1t became due he told Ryan he owned
1100 acres of land in Riverside county.
Edwards preliminary examination
was held in Justice Ling's court De-
cember % and the testimony of two
Riverside county officers was that Ed
wards owned no land In the county at
that time.
In the habeas corpus proceedings the
accused mans attorney showed by the
evidence at the preliminary hearing
there was nothing brought to prove
Edwards did not own the land at the
time of his transaction with Ryan, and
Judge Davis took the same view of the
case in ordering Edwards release.

News Of The Courts
TWO PROBATIONARY
SENTENCES IMPOSED
One New Years Gift Is Given Prs=
oner Who Claimed to Have No
knowledge of Alleged
Crime

Two New Years gifts in the form of
five-year probationary sentences were
given by Judge Davis of the criminal
court yesterday to Wesley Hinkle, con-
victed by jury several days ago on
a charge of grand larceny, and Cap
tain Angus A. Graham.
Captain Graham was arrested in
Seattle, Wash, several months ago and
brought to Los Angeles to answer to a
charge of embezzling $3.50 belonging to
George p. Luce, san Pedro engineer.
On the witness stand yesterday he dis
claimed all knowledge of the offense
with which he was charged, saying it
was committed when he was under the
influence of liquor ana drugs given TO
him by other persons who profited by
his condition. He also told of trip to
Ell Paso, a journey of which he had no
knowledge until he awoke in cheap
lodging house in El Paso. He was ar
rested, he said, while returning to Los
Angeles from Chicago TO answer to the
charge brought against him.
Captain Graham is 81 years old.
About ten years ago he was captain
of the famous ice-breaking tug .. b.
Green on Lake Michigan and the Chi
states and in Alaska.
Is Piled with Liquor
The money he was accused of en-
bezzing was a portion of a large sum
placed in escrow in the All Night and
Day bank pending the outcome of a
prospecting trip to be made by Graham
to Mexico Two men, one of whom is
dead, piled him with liquor and drugs
and while in a maudlin condition in
duced him to withdraw the money.
"I don't remember l bought rail
road ticket or boarded a train, but
when l regained consciousness | was
in a cheap lodging house in Ell Paso, y
said Graham.
A brother member of a secret or
ganization, he said, took him to MS
mothers home in Chicago.
mo power on earth can make me
drink again." said Graham, in response
to a question of his attorney, Frank
+. Pratt.

YOUTHS. ABSENCE CAUSE
OF ATTORNEYS ANXIETY

The failure of J. Jose Gonzalez, a
young Mexican. to keep an appoint
ment Wednesday with his attorney. S.
S. Sanders is causing the latter a
great deal of uneasiness, and yester-
day he began an investigation as to
the boys whereabouts.
Gonzalez was arrested in June,
charged with burglary, and after re-
naming in Jail several months was
acquitted by a jury after a trial in
Judge Willis court. He was again ar
rested November 20. and the case was
ordered dismissed in the same court
after the testimony of three witnesses
was heard. It is said Gonzalez was
making preparations to file charges
with the police commission against
police officers concerned in his arrest,
and It is the fear of his attorney that
this had something to do with his dis
appearance.

When one has stated that Fritz
Kreisler played in Simpson auditorium
last night, and has added that the
house was sold out, there really seems
very little left to be said-to any one
who ever heard this violinist the story
of the complete pleasure of the even
ing Is already told
\ There is nothing new to be said con-
cerning Kreisler's wonderful technique,
or his combined intellectual and emo
tional appeal, and it Is trite to repeat
that he is a great violin virtuoso, a
master interpreter of his instrument.
All these things have been said of him
repeatedly, and in his present trans
continental tour they still follow him
like homing birds. His playing is like
himself, exceedingly virile, it is char
acterized by a peculiarly melod1c, sing
ing quality, and more nearly resembles
the human voice than anything that is
not of the earth earthly has any right
to do. His reception last night was
of the sort that he had right to eX-
pect from former triumphs here.
His third selection, the following a,
b, C, d, e, group, was the success or
the program, and was exquisitely rem
dered Grave, Friedman Bach Q71O-
1880; Chanson, Louis XIII and Pa
vane, Louis Conperin 063O-1665); Allie

Dvoraks "Humoreske" was given as
q finale, the familiar air taking on new
beauties under the sympathetic touch
of the master.
Haddon Squire, Mr.. Kreisler's accom-
PIANIST labored under the disadvantage
of being obliged to manipulate piano
better fitted to furnish accompaniments
for a drum corps than a violin.
The Kreisler return engagement of
January will be eagerly anticipated.

DECLARES CRIMINAL
ORDINANCES INVALID

THE arrest in November of Wong
Wing. a Chinese, on a charge OF Vlolat-
ing the gambling ordinance OF the city
Of los Angeles and his subsequent
sentence to sixty days Imprisonment
in the city jail may turn the crlmlnal
laws OF the city topsy turVy ana even
go so far as to cause the release OF
scores of prisoners on whom sentences
have been imposed since the consolida-
tion of Wilmington with lnls huhlci-
pality.
Wong Wing is working on the chain
gang. displacing rocks in the Arroyo
Seco. His attorneys, Paul w. Schenck
and George L. McKeeby, are endeavor-
ing TO secure his release. If, in these
efforts. they puncture the criminal or
dinances with their legal guns or cut
them to shreds with the sword OF JUS
tice, that is not their fault. The re-
sponsibility, they say, must rest on the
legislature because 1t did not properly
frame the consolidation act, or with the
CITY council because it did not reframe
the ordinances.
Habeas corpus proceedings for the
release of Wong Wing were instituted
by Attorneys Schenck and McKeeby
Yesterday and the hearing is set for 2
o'clock today before Judge Willis of
the superior court.
The whole contention Oh the aLIOf-
neys resolves itself into a question
whether or not the penal ordinances of
the city remain in force and effect after
the consolidation Of Los Angeles with
Wilmington.
1--WE maintain" said Attorney
Schenck, "that every criminal ordinance
of the city is unconstitutional on the
ground that the consolidation act, in so
far as it seeks to continue the ordi-
nances in force, is in violation of three
separate and distinct provisions of the
state constitution" and, quoting from
the constitution, he added: ANY city
may make and enforce within its limits
all such local, police, sanitary and other
regulations as are not in conflict with
the general laws"
Hence, he says, an ordinance adopted
in the exercise of police power is a
municipal affair, and his opinion is that
when it provided in the new municipal
corporation that ordinances then exist
ing in Los Angeles should remain in
full force and effect.
Wong Wing pleaded guilty to the
charge brought against him November
23 and the following day was sentenced
to sixty days in Jail by Police Judge
Chambers. He was released pending
the outcome of a hearing on appeal
before Judge Davis. The latter affirmed
the judgment of the lower court two
weeks ago, and the Chinese has since
been working on the chain gang.

A NEW WHOLESALE
HOUSE FOR LOS ANGELES
s. A. Brown g. Co. take Office and Sam
pie Rooms in the Parmelee-DOhrmann
Building, 4i4 South Broadway.
PIANOS AND ORGANS


Mr.. s. A. Brown, the head of the
new jobbing and distributing concern
for the southwest, is a well known
figure in local musical circles, having
established or reorganized nine music
firms in the city of Los Angeles dur
ing the last thirteen years, and is con-
ceded to be one of the best posted
men in the entire trade, having had
twenty-five years of experience on a
large scale.
The new firm is the first exclusive
wholesale piano house on the Pacific
coast. It will operate in the eight
western states.
Mr.. Brown states that the small
dealers outside the large cities can
now buy one or more pianos without
being forced to pay the high, or single
shipment freight rate as heretofore
This will encourage small dealers and
distribute the sale of pianos more
generally throughout the country. We
believe that a citizen should buy his
piano as well as his groceries from hlS
home merchant.
A large stock of sample pianos and
player pianos will be kept on hand,
thus insuring prompt shipment. A
telephone call from an out-of-town
dealer will land piano at his place
of business in twelve to twenty-four
hours and save him carrying a large
stock of the various styles on hand.
Merchants are invited to call or get in
touch will the new firm any time after
January ], 1910.
