BROKER DROPS
OUT OF SIGHT
CONTINUED from Page Ono,

this way, 1t is said, will be dlsappolnt-
ed, Brown having purchased the once
furnishings on the 1nstallment plan.
Among the creditors is Fred Spring,
Browns attorney, who puts in claim
for SIPS for legal services. L. Shima-
matsu, a Japanese, wants 500, ana a
collection agency seeks to recover $o4.
DR.. Nettie Hammond, 1907 Union Trust
building, who was used as a reference
by Brown, frowned yesterday AFTER
noon when 9. Herald reporter asked hef
If she could inform him of the present
whereabout of the missing Mr.. Brown
"Oh. guess you must know all about
II. and all that have to say is that
my experience has been lesson TO me,
and never again will l place any faith
in humanity. / thought Mr.. Brown TO
be perfectly honest and never dreamed
that he could be guilty of misappro-
priating the money intrusted with him
to invest.
ct must admit that I was cognizant
of the fact that he was in financial
difficulties, but thought that they were
trivial and similar to those which are
bound to occur to men engaged IN
large business. The whole affair has
made me sick, and I dread to think OF
it. 1t means a great deal to me. The
whole affair is horrible"
ibid you personally lose any money
through your transactions with
Brown" asked the reporter.
"Well. did not make much, 1 as
sure you," she replied with a knowing
smile that meant much more than the
words she spoke.
Knows Not Business
'I confess that although / have been
very successful in conducting my own
business, l am not business woman,
and know no more about stocks and

that before coming to Los Angeles Mr..
Brown had been engaged in a similar
business, and was we'll rated and
known as a prfectly honest man.
81 do not care at all about my own
losses, for l have always worked and
made my own living; in fact. much
better than living, else / would not
have had money to invest with Brown.
1 supposed all the time that was buy
ing railroad shares and paying $40 each
for them, and / could tell by following
the papers that the shares 1 paid $40
for were quoted far above that price
and continually getting higher, and I

and was in a fair way to make a large
sum of money.
IT bought 1000 shares Of one kind of
stock, 1000 shares of another and $50
shares of third kind, paying $40 a
share, and later / saw some of the
same stock quoted as high as $40.
You say, then, that you bought $500
shares at $40 share?" queried the re-
porter, and Dr. Hammond replied: IT
simply mentioned those, but l did not
say that was all I invested in.
81 do not for second consider my
personal loss, but what makes me
wretched is to think I advised friends
on all sides to invest their money with
Brown, and I know that many poor
people lost their money who could not
afford it. Many of the people who

MORE MUSIC

Musical people who have been accus-
toned to making their purchases at 113
South Spring street will be interested
in the news that Mr.. Ralph H. Holmes,
formerly connected with the Fitzgerald
Music and Piano company as the ex-
elusive owner and manager of the
musical instrument and talking ma
chine department of the business, has
severed his connection with that firm
and has organized a new company
which will continue the music and pi-
ano business at the old stand under the
firm name and style of the Holmes
Music company. Their old quarters at
113 South Spring street are being re-
modelled and redecorated preparatory to
the installation of an entirely new and
complete line of everything pertaining
to the music business in . all its
branches.
Mr.. Holmes has surrounded himself
with an able corps of assistants, almost
all of whose faces are familiar to the
old patrons of the store.
It is understood that the new COM
pany, whose announcement appears in
another portion of the paper, has am
pie capital for the successful prosecu-
ton OF the business, and Spring street
merchants and the people in the north
ern portion of the city are to be con-
graduated upon the fact that such a
strong and representative firm has de-
cided to remain in their midst.

REPORT WARSHIPS AS ON
WAY TO MAGDALENA BAY

Messages received by the United
States Wireless station at Chutes park
last night reported that the warships
of the Pacific feet are proceeding from
Central American waters to Magdalena

ing.
After completing their target practice

Amapala, and the Maryland at Aca-
Julia, and these ships will go to Mag

the far-reaching effect it will have If
successful.
you have arrayed against you in
this fight every crooked politician, ev-
cry laW-breaking, law-defying corpo-
ration, every predatory interest and
every Matchmaking corporation organ
not only in Los Angeles but in the
whole country. You have expressed
surprise that the provide press takes
the stand it does. This is the reason:
You are threatening their base You
are going to deprive them of their main
source of revenue. For the corporation
cannot afford to dig up huge sums TO
elect man whose first crooked act
would cause Lis recall. The recall
threatens the existence of every corpo-
ration organ, and they know it. Moth
ing else could have made them come
out into the open the way they have.
you may have noticed that the pro-
vice papers everywhere are trying 10
obscure the issue by making the claim
that the recall was aimed at Harper
on account of his personal habits. 1t
would never do to let the people know
that the machine had suffered defeat
for these papers stand or fall with the
machine, and the machine lives on dis
honesty.
"The eyes of every city in the United
States are upon Los Angeles, for these
the recall is being tested. This is the
preliminary skirmish between the peo-
pie and the machine, between the hon
est and the dishonest, the good against
the bad.
"Can the people rule, or must they
submit to the machine? That is the
real issue. Are there enough honest
men in Los Angeles to carry the fight
to a successful conclusion? That Is
the question Los Angeles must answer.
ssTf If should become necessary, in or
der to defeat the machine, to recall
some councilmen, do so. Where prin-
ciple is involved the question of cost
should not enter.
EVERY patriotic citizen of Los Ange-
les should do all in his power to aid
the recall and The Herald. This Is his
duty to his country, his city and to
posterity.
For the only things of real value
that a man can leave to his children
are an honored name and good gov
eminent"

TRIES TO ROB AGED MAN
AND MEETS HIS MATCH

Martin Perry, said by the police to
be hanger on of Main street saloons,
was arrested near Second and Main
streets last night and booked at central
station on suspicion.
Perry grabbed a cheap watch from
z. j. Wetmore, an aged man of Hynes
station, who was walking along the
street. and attempted to get away with
it. Mr.. w gilmore. who is more than so
years of age, grabbed Perry by the coat
collar, and despite the latter's desper-
ate effort to break away held him till
his cries for help brought Patrolman
Beale to the scene.
Perry was taken to the police station
in irons and in all probability will be
prosecuted for grand larceny under
that section of the code making robbery
from the person in any amount a major
offense.

IN GALVESTON, TEXAS
State Rangers Have Gathered Evidence
Against Violators of the Saloon Law.

In Galveston, Texas, as i'll other cit
les, there have been hagrant violation of
the saloon law. As announced in tele-
gram Of recent date, it is expected the
number of saloons in Ten as will be re-
duced by nearly 5000 for the coming
wear. Many saloon keeper whose
application for renewal of his liquor
license is rejected will be surprised
when confronted with the evidence that
on certain dates since the new saloon
and liquor law went intP effect two
months ago he violated various and
sundry provisions of SAME. The evi-
dence will be submitted and it will be
corroborative evidence of two or more
State rangers, and then the liquor man
will recall the dates when he sold liquor
on Sundays, permitted minors to enter
and drink at his bar or allowed women
to enter and remain in his establish
ment.
The State rangers in pairs and quar-
tettes have visited all the cities and
towns and quietly gathered this evi-
dence of violations of the law. On
many occasions, while ostensibly their
mission was to investigate violations of
the gambling laws, the rangers were
really more interested in the saloons.
They would not only drink at the bar,
but form the acquaintance of the pro-
prietor and bartenders and purchase
TASKS of whskey The TASKS were duly
labeled and sealed with date and hour
and other evidence which now fills an
immense room at Austin. The new law
provides that violation of its provisions
bars the offender from obtaining "a
license. The State Comptroller has the
power to pass upon all such cases, which
removes them from county and city
courts and home influences of local pol
iticians The State rangers acted with
ont the knowledge or cooperation OF
the city and county police, and in some
instances induced police officers who
did not know the rangers to drink with
them. Governor Campbell is not pro
hbitionist, but he says the gambling and
liquor laws must be obeyed if he ha:
to use the militia to enforce them. Ir
every city in Texas the rangers founc
the new saloon law being violated.
