EDDIE CHARGES ARE
PROVED UNFOUNDED
Mrs. chauncey Declares She Never
Had Any but Private 8usl-
ness with the City
Prosecutor

A week ago the report was assldu-
ously and insidiously circulated to the
effect that there was in existence an
affidavit made by woman attacking
the character of City Prosecutor Guy
Eddie. At the time the rumors were
ahoat friends of Mr.. Eddie instituted
a quiet investigation. They declared
the rumors were started by persons IN
the employ of a certain pubic service
corporation against whom the city
prosecutor was directing an inquiry.
The rumor finally took shape in a
statement that Mrs. Chauncey had
made an affidavit to the effect she had
been insulted in the office of the prose-
cutor.
Mr.. Eddie said at the time he be-
lieved an attempt was being made TO
discredit him and ruin his value as
a public officer. He said he knew Mrs.
Chauncey and that she had sought his
advice as an attorney She went to
his office, he said, to consult him re-
garding a legal case in which she was
involved He referred her to a proml-
nent attorney, who took up her case.
Mrs. Chauncey was found at her
home at 274 North Avenue twenty-five
Yesterday. She emphaticallv denied
that she had ever made any afhdaVlt
OF complaint dBdlllOt NIL A1ANAO'
"Any such statement is a falsehood.'
said Mrs. Chauncey. 81 have never
said an unkind word about Mr.. Eddie.
1 have been in his office several times,
always on business of a private ma
ture. 1 consulted him about matters
of law, and nothing else. 1 have met
him socially, as l am acquainted with
his wife. His conduct towards me mas
always been that of a gentleman
towards a lady.
''This is a trumped up affair, and I
believe it is intended to injure Mr.
Eddie politically. If that's what they
intend it will not do them any good,
because there is not grain OF truth
in it. I have never had any occasion
to complain about Mr.. Eddie and L
wouldn't believe anybody who made
such statements about him, because. I
know him and have confidence In
him"

nlence Of AllenIsts Is Not
Granted by Court

Justice Gaynor today denied the mo-

removal of the Thaw insanity hearing
from Westchester county to New YORK
county.
Justice Gaynor referred to New YORK
countv's plea that the convenience of
expert witnesses of whom it was de-
sired to ask a lengthy question would
be served by the removal of the case
to New York. and said:
"Thaw has now been confined in the
state lunatic asylum for year, and
the testimony of the experienced and
practical physicians in charge there
ought to suffice for the state on the
question whether this man, who has
already been adjudged lunatic by
Justice Morschauser after a full hear
ing, has since recovered and may
safely be set at large"

The next meeting in the consolidation
campaign will be held at Wilmington,
Wednesday evening, July Il. 1t was
stated in Wilmington yesterday that
the Consolidated Lumber company had
come out openly against consolidation
Spice is likely to be added to the Will
mington meeting by an airing of the
reasons for this opposition, regarding
which some of the members of the
Wilmington consolidation committee
promise to present some interesting
statements. Members of the Los An
geles committee also will speak at the
meeting.
Persistent rumors that the saloon
keepers of San Pedro are organizing
against consolidation are engaging the
attention of friends of consolidation.
If they are found true, the saloon men
will be put on record in a way that
will not be forgotten after consolida-
ton carries and an adjustment of the
saloon situation at the harbor will be
necessary.
In working out the harbor scheme,
the Los Angeles and San Pedro COM
mittees realized that recognition must
be given to the local phases of the
saloon question, as we'll as other mat
ters of peculiar importance to the har-
ber cities. This was given place in
the report by urging that the council
of the consolidated city pass such or
dinances as are necessary to protect
these local rights. Approval of this
report by the Los Angeles city council
was generally regarded as a pledge to
that effect.
If the San Pedro saloon men Or
ganize and place funds toward the de-
feat of consolidation. friends of the

lifying any special pledges which may
be considered hereafter as particularly
standing for the interests, of the sa-
loonkeepers.
The Flks week brings somewhat oil
a lull in consolidation activity, all
though the Los Angeles committees
headquarters will be opened in the
Chamber of Commerce building, and
other preparations for the campaign
will be completed. A close watch is
being kept on the registration trans

NEW YORK. June i2-Ioe %Jeannette's
manager says tina a S90.OO0 purse can be
obtained in Parts for a finish fight with
Jack Johnson and that a 5000 eide bet rs
also possible. Jeanette expresses conf
dence In his ability to whip Johnson, but
he insists that the bout must not he limited
as to the number Of rounds. So far. so
good, but sporting men are inclined to
laugh at the ststemen OF Jeannette's man
ager that Sam Lsngford is all in" 1t Is
regarded as somewhat odd that the mo-
ment Langford knocked Ian Hague out in
London Jeanette and his manager took a
steamboat for America. They didn't care
20 larry longer on either French or Eng
fish soil any more than did Jack Johnson
care to leave this country when he heard
that Langford had been proclaimed the
champion OF the world by the National
Sporting club.
Lsngford allowed Jeanette to stay six
rounds with him in a local club last year
and is regarded as the local pugilist's su-
periOr in every way. Jeanette can fight
at that. He Ii game and clever. also well
behaved. He is sincere in the belief that
he can whip Johnson. but that he regards
Jangford as an easy mark and a back
number few believe. Jeanette says the
fighting game in Paris is on the level.
Sandy Ferguson, who was defeated on
points there by Jeanette, is telling his
friends In Boston that this particular de-
cision was a burglary and that he was
glad to get away from France with his
watch, money and life.
