MINE PROMOTER
UNDER ARREST
CAPTAIN ANGUS A. GRAHAM IS
ACCUSED OF EMBEZZLEMENT
SAID TO HAVE WORKED SCHEMES
THAT DIDN'T MATERlALlzE
officer Leaves Today to Bring Man
Charged with Felony Back to
Los Angeles from
Seattle

After pursuit that had extended
into Mexico, the middle west ana all
the Pacific coast states, Captain angus
A. Graham formerly a well known
mining promoter of Los Angeles, was
arrested last night at Seattle, accord
ing to advices received at the Los An
geles police headquarters, where he Is
wanted to answer to charges OF felony
embezzlement.
Captain Graham, until last June was
a familiar figure in Los Angeles ana
was known for his ability in promoting
mining schemes, which never material
lied. His last venture in Los Angeles
proved his undoing. After inducing
ten Los Angeles business men to sub
scribe $3.50 each, to pay expenses for
prospecting trip into Mexico, he disap-
peared and since June l has been
fugitive from justice.
That Captain Graham has had
varied and meteroic career is the
statement of those intimately acquaint-
ed with him.
He is said to be a, prominent member
of a national fraternal order, and early
in life was employed as steamboat
captain on the Great Lakes. Later he
engaged in the mining prospecting
business in Chicago, Seattle, san Fran
cisco and other cities, leaving, san
Francisco for Los Angeles shortly
lH0 tdl Ilquc1hS'
He opened offices in the Crosse
building at Sixth and Spring. streets
and is said to have prospered in the
brokerage business.
Mining schemes was his long suit
and he finally induced ten Los Angeles
men to invest $3.50 each in Mexican
mining proposition.
This money was to be used for ex-
penses of a prospecting trip, which was
to be personally conducted by Graham,
to whom was turned over the checks
for each personal amount, to buy incl
dentals and arrange for the journey.
The party was to meet at the Ar
cade station on a certain date They
met, but Captain Graham was not on
hand. and nothing has been heard of
him since, until word of his arrest
was received last night. A few of the
ten persons were quick enough to nave
payment on their personal checks
stopped, but it is estimated that Capt
Graham got away with nearly $1,000
A complaint charging felony embez-
element was sworn to by Charles Bos-
sert. one of the ten men interested by
Captain Graham and the police OF all
coast cities notified. 1t is thought that
Graham went at once to Mexico, and
that a desire to return to his old home
in Seattle led to his arrest.
Graham was associated in business
while in Los Angeles with Oscar
Chaves, the baseball promoter, who
committed suicide short time ago.
Graham Is 90 years old and was one
of the first to go to Alaska when the
mining fever broke out. An officer Will

RUSSIAN NEWSPAPER
BLAMES AMERICANS
SAYS U. S. MASSES HOSTILE
TO JAPANESE
Article Published In Which 1t Is Set
Forth That Relations Between
America and Japan Are
Strained

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 22.-An ar
ticle on the relation between Japan and
America appears in a semi-ofticial
newspaper today, though in the same
column it is pointed out the Russian
government wholly disclaims RESPONSE
bility for the accompanying matter.
The article speaks of the relations as
strained, and says that while on the
surface the reason for this situation
appears to be a controversy over the
question of the open door to Man
churia, the real cause of the friction
is the innate hostility of the American
people toward the Japanese.
This hostility, the article says, is in
fiuenced somewhat by economic mo-
tives, but principally by the problem of
interfacial assimilation.
The American government, it adds,
is far more friendly in its attitude
toward Japan than are the American
masses, and the government is MAX
ing every effort to settle the misun-
derstanding that constantly arise.

REPORT MORE JINkS
BY COLORADO RIVER
EXPLORING PARTY TAKES TRIP
TO DELTA
Large Area South of Divide That
Marks the SaIton Sea Basin
Is Found to Be
Inundated

Ell CENTRIC, Oct. 22.-An exploring
party has just returned from an eight
days trip through the swampy country
Of Lower California below Volcano
Lake brings an interesting report that
the Colorado river has changed it's
course at a point about twenty miles
below Yuma, has left it's old bed
swampy morass, and is inundating
a large area of the delta land west of
the old channel and south of the di-
vide that marks the ancient southern
shore of the Salton sea basis.
For several weeks Volcano Lake has
been holding a remarkable volume of
water, to ascertain conditions which
caused this water to flow in such vol
ume into Volcano Lake and to learn
of the actual conditions in the delta,
the expedition was formed. Members
Of the party were Chief Engineer F. {.
Hermann ara Roy Kincaid of the
California Development company, 2.
K. Clarke of Water county No. l,
County Supervisor McHarg, Harold
Bell Wright, Allen Kelly, Foreman Al
bert Robinson of the Californta-Mexi-
can company, Jack Scroggins, COW
puncher and marine engineer, and
three Cocopah Indians.
The expedition embarked at Brow
ker Gate on the gasoline launch Lucy
B. sailed up New river into Volcano
Lake, which is higher than usual and
covers thirty or forty square miles,
although its waters have fallen about
three feet in the last four weeks. Wa
ter comes into the lake from the east
and south through numerous sloughs
and goes out to the southwest into
Hardy. 1t seemed evident that most
of the water was coming from the Rio
Abepas or Ben river, but the main
channel could not be found readily and
small boats towed by the Lucy could
not be forced far through the jungle.
Members of the expedition decided to
attack the problem in the flank by
going down the Hardy river and up the
Pescador. Measurement of the dis
charge of the Hardy showed about
1900 second feet flow above the juno
ton. The flow of the Pescador about
twenty miles above the fork was found
to be 1900 second feet. At no point
could the entire discharge from the
overflow be measured because of the
intricate network of channels and
sloughs in the delta, but approximate
ly half of the volume of water pass
ing Yuma was accounted for definite
ly by measurements made by the party.
The explorers learned definitely that
the Colorado river has left its bed,
coming into the delta by way of the
Bee river and shallow broad overpour
at the head of the Pescador, leaving
a lagoon of still water in the old chan
nel from that point down to the mouth
of the Hardy.
It is not deemed probable that any
material change in the elevation of
the river bed at the intake will re-
suit from the diversion of the stream
into the Bee river, as the distance to
the Gulf by way of the Bee, Pescador
and Hardy rivers is greater than by
the old channel.

SAYS SANDWICH
IS NOT A MEAL
RESTAURANT MEN CAUTIONED
BY POLICE BOARD
ORDINANCE REGARDING LIQUOR
MUST BE OBSERVED
Second Letter Sent to Proprietors OF
Eating Places Where Drinks
May Be Sold on
Conditions

Because of the hazy idea that res
taurant men seem to entertain as 10
what constitutes a meal with Whlch
they can serve liquors, the police COM
mission yesterday sent out another
communication to these restaurant
men calling attention to a letter issued
at the time the commission assumed
office. The first letter defined what
the commission considers a meal and
emphatically stated that sandwiches,
plates of beans and other subterfuges
would not be considered a sufficient
pretext for serving liquors.
A number of restaurant men nave
lost their permits because they did
not heed the advice of the commits
sion The commissions letter follows:
Acting under the instructions OF
the board of police commissioners
of the city of Los Angeles, am
sending you herewith a copy of a
letter dated May II, 1909, which
was sent to all persons, firms or
corporations conducting restau-
rants or eating places where spirit
uous, vinous, malt or mixed intox-
icating liquors are served.
Since sending out the letter re-
ferred to- the board has found 1t
necessary to revoke several res
taurant liquor permits because the
holders of these permits had not
been complying with the ordinance
regulating the sale of liquor in
restaurants and eating places OPP
Grated under such permits. Most
of these permits have been re-
voked for the reason that liquor
was served without meals, and to,
avoid the possibility of any misun-
derstanding on your part as TO
what constitutes a meal under the
n ottanfinn
to paragraph of the letter re-
ferred to. In fact every person
conducting a restaurant or eating
place in connection with which
he holds a permit for the sale of
intoxicating liquors should read
carefully the whole of the inclosed
copy of the circular letter dated
May II, 1909.
There seems to be quite general
impression that the police COM
mission has established new
ruling with reference to what shall
constitute a meal with which in
toxicating liquors can be served.
But the fact Is, the ordinance itself
determines that matter, and the
duty of the duty of the board is to
see that this ordinance Is enforced.
The commission would very much
prefer that every one engaged in
the restaurant liquor business
should observe the law and re-
grets that the warning contained
in the letter of May II, 1909, was
not more generally heeded but,
however much it may sympathize
with individuals whose business
may be adversely affected, 1t will
continue in the future, as 1t has
in the past, to enforce the law
equally without favor.
In sending this additional COM
munication to you, the commission
feels that 1t has done everything
possible to enlighten you as to Just
what the ordinances are regulating
the business in which you are en-
gagged. CHARLES McKEAG,
