GOING TO AVENGE INSULT
War Over RidicuIe of "Hot Sport"
Ends in Capture on Charge of
Carrying Concealed
Weapons

AS the result Of a war in the Sla-
vonian settlement in the neighborhood
OF Ord street, because one man resent
ed the idea of being called "a sport, "
John and Joseph Chulak, members of
one faction, were arrested Friday night
for carrying concealed weapons. They
were arraigned III police court yester-
day and fined SO each.
The Chulak brothers were arrested
by Patrolman A. A. Green, who saw
the men buckling on their artillery and
talking in an excited manner. 1t is
said they were on their way to meet
members of the opposing faction and
resent insults.
According to one Of the brothers, a
friend appeared on the streets a short
time ago dressed in the height of fash,
ion, wherein someone remarked that
the wearer of the fine clothes was "a
hot sport" and fight was started.
Since then the settlement has been
divided into warning factions.

WANTS BOARD FORCED
TO GIVE HIM LICENSE
PHYSICIAN SAYS EXAMINERS
SHOW FAVORITISM
Declares He Practiced in the East
Ten Years, and Questions Asked
Are of ImpracticabIe
Nature

After third unsuccessful effort to
procure a license to practice as a ply
sician in California, DR.. John r. Rem
aker of Los Angeles has carried the
matter into the supreme court. Yes
terday he filed an application for a
writ of mandate to compel the state
medical board of examiners to issue
him a license.
DR.. Renaker came from Kentucky to
Los Angeles and took the California
state board examination in Deem
Der, 1907. He failed, and the same
thing happened in April, 1908, and
again the following August
The last examination was made the
basis of charges filed with the board
that favoritism is shown where Cooper
college students are concerned. AL
though DR.. Renaker practiced in the
east more than ten years. the uues-
lions propounded at the examinations
in California are considered by him
impracticable and Of such a nature
that a general practitioner could not
answer them.
Five Start Proceedings
DR.. Renaker charges gross abuse of
power on the part of the board. After
his failure to pass the examination in
August he and four others started le-
gal proceedings to compel the issu-
ance of licenses. He says in his appli-
cation for the writ of mandate that
after this action was taken Dr. J.
Park Dougall, president of the board
notified him that if the legal proceed
ings were deferred a meeting of the
board would be called which would
result in the desired license being is
sued.
Affidavits to be used in the proceed
lngs already had been prepared, and
when the next meeting of the board
was held in Los Angeles, last October,
DR.. Renakerr says the time was taken
up in reading these statements After
the session DR.. Dougall, it is alleged,
told DR.. F. w. Hinkle of 2133 East
Third street that the makers of these
affidavits would never receive licenses
TO practice while he was a member of
the board.

CASE AGAINST A. D. WARNER
is TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT

A. D. Warner, charged with passing
a check when he had no funds in the
bank to meet payment, concluded his
argument in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings yesterday, and the matter was
taken under advisement by Judge Mon
roe, who probably will render a decis-
ion Thursday. Warner seeks to be dis
charged on the ground that the check
given to Dudley H. Robinson, his clerk,
which is the basis for the charge
against him, was post dated, and its
issuance was therefore not illegal.

this statement: "This firm surely

and beautiful watches that their
committee had bought for prizes to
be given in the Marathon race three

Book Auction Held
One of the liveliest features of the
day was the book auction, held immedi-
ately after the concert. Rev. Robert j.
Burdette answered every expectation
as auctioneer, and it was largely due
to his preliminary efforts that this par
tlcular phase of the days proceedings
proved an unqualified success. James
Whitcomb Riley, who in the past was
lecture colleague of the auctiOneer. sent
autograph copies of his works, as did
also John Muir, the we'll known travel
er, author and naturalist, and Prof
George Wharton James. Others who
contributed books were Mrs. Margaret
Collier Graham, Dr. George E. Hale,
President J. A. B. Scherer, Mrs. Grin
nell, DR.. Bridge, Prof. Joseph Grinnell,
Frederic Norton Finney, Albert Law
renee, President w. w Guth of San
Jose, Mrs. Gaddett. Prof. Holder, Rob-
ert J. Burdette, Charles f. Lummis,
Clara B. Burdette and others.
Fancy prices, to put the matter mild
ly, were realized, and from this sale
alone a most comfortable sum must
have been received.
A dance rendered at 10 o'clock to the
tired bellskips and lasting until mid
night brought the days proceedings to
a fitting close.
