EMMA GOLDMAN DEFENDS
THEATERS AGAINST CHARGES
Declares DR.. Locke's Accusations Are
Unfounded and Maintains Theater
Greatest Disseminator of Truth

Miss Emma Goldman lcctured upon
the drama at the Peoples theater last
evening, in refutation of the attack
recently made upon the theater by
the Rev. Charles Edward Locke of the
First Methodist church. She denied
the clergyman's charges that the stage
is degrading and demoralizing, and
contended that it is one of the greatest
agencies for the dissemination of
truth. She touched upon the works
of Hauptmann, Sudermann, Ibsen.
Bernard Shaw and other revolutionary
dramatists, maintaining that their
teachings, which found expression in
their plays, have done more than any
other force TO elevate humanity.
The American drama, Miss Goldman
says, has not yet developed to the level
of the European, but is decidedly a
beneficent and not a degrading in
1luence. Tolstoi was eXtolled as the
greatest Christian.

CLAIMS SUM FOR
SHARING SOLONS
TlCHEN0R'S DEMANDS LARGE,
SAYS EMPLOYER
BUILDING AND LOAN AGENT is
ON TRIAL
Charges for Trapping Former State
Senators Included In ltemized
Bill Submitted by
Defendant

That George N. Tichenor, charged
with embezzlement of $2400 of the
funds of the Continental Building and
Loan association while acting as its
Los Angeles agent, claimed twice the
sum mentioned in the complaint was
senators by means of marked curren-
cy, was the testimony of w. f. Corhln,
general manager of the association, III
the superior court yesterday.
Fifteen hundred dollars for each SEN
ator convicted of bribery is the price
set by Tichenor for the undoins OF
Senators Wright Emmons, Bunker
and French, all of whom were expelled
from the senate four years ago and in
dicted by grand jury.
Little testimony relative to the plans
for snaring the senators was given
yesterday, Judge Wilbur ruling that
Tichenor's attorney, Robert w. Kemp,
could not question Corbin in references
to any contract with Tichenor for his
work in this connection.
Corbin said he demanded a statement
of the company's business affairs from
1tchenor in April. last year. This was
given to him, with draft for $2903.07,
which, according to Tichenor, was due
the association.
Pay for Extra Services
Corbin identified the statement,
which contained an item of $4972.50 for
extra services"
II asked him what he meant by that
item, and he told me 1t was for SER
vices rendered at Sacramento" said
Corbin. II told him he would have to
pay the money. as we did not owe him
for such services"
Tichenor, said the witness, stated in
reply that there was an understanding
he was to be paid at the rate of $500
for each Objectionable senator re-
moved. He made an exception in the
case of Senator Wright, who disap-
peared before his trial, but claimed
there was due him the alleged stipu-
lated price, together with interest, in
the cases of Emmons, Bunkers and
French
Corbin said he accepted the draft of
$2903.07 rendered by Tichenor, and
that the latter paid him $2010 a few
days later. There is still due, he says,
about s2400.
Corbin also testified that he had dis
covered a number of Irregularities in
Tichenor's accounts, the various items
aggregatins more than $500. This sum,
he said, is made up of small amounts
received from stockholders whose de-
posits were not placed on the books of
the association.
G. Ray Horton, deputy district attor-
ney, in charge of the prosecution, stat
ed he probably would be able to close
his side of the case today.

PROSECUTOR ATTEMPTS TO
PROVE FALSE ENTRY
BANKERS CASHIER is CALLED
AS WITNESS
Miss Ida McKittrick Tells OF Order
for $4,000 Being Held Instead
of Sent Out for Coll
lection

Stcp by step w. J. Ford, deputy DIS
trict attorney, conducting the prosecu-
tion in the preliminary examination or
w. II. Carlson, the banker, introduced
testimony in Justice stephens court
yesterday tending to connect carson
with the alleged false entry of $SOVo on
the books of the Consolidated bank one
of the numerous crimes he is charged
with committing while exercising con-
troll over that institution.
Another hour of questioning Will com
plete the labor of the prosecution, and
Carlson, who continues to act as his
own attorney, announced he would
place several witnesses on the stand IN
his own behalf. The examination was
continued until 2 o'clock Monday, the
delay being caused by receivership pro-
ceedings instituted against the Consol-
idated bank by the attorney general
several months ago. These proceed
ings will be resumed before Judge
James in the superior court today.
Miss Ida McKittrick, who, as cash
Ter of the Consolidated bank during

affairs, was the only witness yester-
day. 1t is charged that the alegeu
false entry on the banks books was
made December 2S, 1907.

Miss McKittrick stated the basis for
this entry was a draft of $4,000 drawn
by Carlson on the Ralston Realty COM

Los Angeles Securities company, but
not to forward it for collection.
December 20. 1907, the securities
company had overdrawn its account
s2S71," said Miss McKittrick, land on
December 2S Mr.. Carlson gave me the
draft for $4,000 to cover this overdraft.
I was instructed to allow it to remain
in the drawer and not send it out for
collection.
''The draft was taken out later by
Mr., Carlson and another one for a like
amount substituted. This was replaced
at different times"
{ The last draft said to have been sub
stituted for one removed from the bank
by Carlson was made early in May
This draft, which, it is claimed, was
the only one sent to the Ralston Realty
company was dishonored by that con-
