ACKNOWLEDGED BY PRESIDENT
 RIPLEY OF THE SANTA FEE
They Are the Real Masters of the
 Common Carriers

New York. Nov 1O-Before the meeting of the. railway business asso. citation with Railroads and Public Approval as his subject, Edward P Ripley. president of the Atchison. To- peka and Santa Fe, said after all it was the people that indirectly ruled the great carriers.
 After reviewing the history of rate legislation and touching upon the i'm perfecions of the interstate commerce law as first passed, he said: What ever sins may be laid at our door; however much we may have once be- lieved that ours was q private busi- ness to be controlled exclusively by it's owners; however much we have resented or still resent the interfer- ence of the public. as manifested in various governing bodies. it is, after all, the public that is master, as we must all recognize
 To meet this condition Mir. Ripley suggested a sincere endeavor by the railroads to keep in close touch with public opinion. and to install improve ments wherever consistent and possi- ble, even without hope of approval.
 T am sure" he/ continued. that I voice the sentiment of all managing railroad officers when I say our great desire is to please the public and give it the best possible service for least possible compensation consistent with reason. Determinations have long since passed away, and nobody is bet ter pleased than the railroad man that it is so. There is no desire to escape either responsibility or regulations.
 Tn this country the people rule. and in the long run that system or that method or that personality that does not meet the appreciation of the public cannot succeed"

 At the night meeting, MT. Aldrich again went over the work of the com mission to date, and outlined the labor before it, appealing as at his previous meetings to, bankers and business men to study the question of banking and currency reform. He dwelt upon the national character of the work. declaring that any change must be in the interest of the entire coun- try. Indeed, he declared that it would be almost. if not quite impossible to form a banking law that would work for the benefit of any one action.

MEXICAN
AS POLTERA SUSPECT
SHERIFF REOPENS CASE IN
INVESTIGATING
Bears Resemblance to Man Seen Near
Place of Crime-Little Evil
dence on Which to Base
Suspicion

Interest in the Poltera murder case
was revived yesterday when it was
learned that Antonio Laresena, a Mex
lean. against whom a charge of IN
sanity was preferred Saturday by A:
F. Coltrin of Irwindale, bore a marked
resemblance to the man suspected or
the crime. Laresena was taken to the
county hospital Saturday after it was
discovered that he had written sew
eral letters to Coltrin's 20-year-old
daughter, Edna Coltrin. who has
charge of the postoffice at Irwindale.
The Mexican was arraigned before
the lunacy commission yesterday and
his examination by the commission Is
set for 2 o'clock today. Immediately
after his arraignment he was taken by
Deputy Sheriff Bert Rico to the county
iail. where he was examined by ply
stefan and closely questioned by Sher-
if Hammel.
while there are certain points IN
Laresena's physical makeup that might
lead to the conclusion that he is the
man we have been searching for so
long, other facts are not wanting to
weaken that belief" said Sheriff Ham

Company Deposits $4,000 Bond to

Obligations That May
Be Imposed

An injunction restraining the city of
Pasadena from interfering with the
equipment of the Sunset Telegraph and
Telephone company, pending an appeal
to the supreme court from the recent
decision of Judge Bordwell in which he
held the company must obtain a fran
chise to use the streets, was granted
by Judge Bordwell yesterday.
Pending the appeal, the court re-
quired the company to deposit per
cent of it's gross receipts on business
within the state, this sum to be COM
puted from August 6, 1907 to May 20.
1909, the former date being the time
when the conpanys 20-year franchise
expired, and the latter the day on
which the court rendered q decision
holding that the company had no right
to the streets. The sum amounts to
$357S.12. To bring the amount down to
date the company will deposit an adj
ditional per cent of the gross re-
ceipts.
A bond of $4,000 is given by the COM
pany as guarantee that it will fulfill
all conditions and that If the decision
of the supreme court upholds that of
Judge Bordwell it will pay the accu-
INFLATED tax rate.

brightly from recent cleaning. The
weapon, for it must come under that
head, was evidently made by the man
himself, the handle being composed of
lead, riveted together with large steel
Screws. This knife was subjected to a
close examination in an effort, If pos
sible, to find blood stains, and it is
believed a chemical analysis of sundry
marks on the larger of the two blades
will be made.
A. F. Coltrin, who swore to the in
sanitary charge against Laresena, is
an orange grower living at Irwindale.
For some time, he said his daughter
had been receiving letters containing
expressions of affection, and these mis-
sives were traced to Laresena.
1.-THE man is a familiar figure in Ir-
windale," said Mr. Coltrin yesterday.
HE has always been regarded as
rather simple minded and little if any
attention, has been given to his move
ments. He will work few days on the
ranches and then disappear to return
in a week or ten days"

have been shot Sunday night while in
the act of reading a warrant to Felipe
Lastra, against whom a complaint had
been filed charging an attempt to kill
Robert Chapman, the 9-year-old son OF
John Chapman, owner of ranch ad-
joining the Hunter property. Lastra
was brought to Los Angeles early yes
terday and after being arraigned be-
fore Justice Summerfield was COM
mitted to the county jail, unable to
rive bonds of $500. He will be given
a preliminary hearing July 2.
Young Chapman's face was filled
with small shot from Lastra gun
June II. Lastra, who was employed
on the Hunter ranch, said the shoot
ing was accidental and that his gun
was discharged when he stumbled over
the fallen branch of a tree. Credence
was given his story by reason of the
fact that he carried the boy tenderly
to the home of his grandmother
The following Monday, however,
trouble between the Hunter and Chap

on the Hunter ranch, broke out afresh
when Hunter, armed with a Winches-

DECLARE BANK IN
PARIS WAS A MYTH
CHARGE MONEYWAS OBTAINED
BY FALSE PRETENSES
Preliminary Hearing of Man Accused
of Making Untrue Representations
in Promoting Financial Scheme
Involving Millions

The case of c. J. Laughlin, jr., ]. M.
Mcleod and F. C. Carlson against w.
F. Lay, who, in conjunction with Capt
Charles L. Foxwell, is charged with
obtaining $500 by false representation,
was submitted to Judge Hervey of the
superior court yesterday after brief
hearing.
In June, July, August and September
of last year the three plaintiffs tried TO
finance a large oil proposition in the
San Joaquin valley, and Lay, accord
ing to their complaint, represented that
he was the American agent of the as
sociate general, a banking institution
of Paris, which had millions of dollars
to invest in securities in this country.
With an expenditure of $4,000 he is said
to have represented he could procure
the sale of 100000 worth of bonds
necessary to finance the oil PROPOSE
ton, and he and FoXwell entered into
an agreement with Laughlin, Mcleod
and Carlson, it is charged, to furnish
the money by September 1. The $4,000
was advanced, and in addition $500
was spent in making trips to San
Francisco and New York to further
the project.
Investigation, the plaintiffs say,
proved that neither Lay nor Foxwell
were connected with the Paris financial
institution, and they declare a num-
Der of cablegrams exhibited to them
and when the man and the woman
were fake messages prepared for the
purpose of forwarding the alleged
scheme.
Lay, while testifying yesterday,
stated he had acted under instructions
from Fovwell and in the utmost good
faith; that any money paid by the
plaintiffs was given to Foxwell, and
that he received only $1,000 for his eX-
penses to California and his investiga-
ton of the property.
Foxwell was arrested in Washington
several weeks ago and is now believed
to be in Jail at Boston awaiting trial
on a similar charge.

News Of the Courts
DROP COMPLAINT IN
DUNHAM CHECK CASE
CHARGES AGAINST FATHER
AND SON DISMISSED
Court Holds That Felony Was Not
Compounded, as No First
Offense Was Conn.,
mitted

That j. S. Rogers and E. e. Rogers
were charged with compromising a fell
ony when no felony had been COM
mitted was the opinion expressed yes
terday by Justice R. A. Ling, who dis
missed the complaint against the two
men and ordered their discharge.
The arrest of the men followed the
placing in the city Jail of Frank Dun
ham, to await trial on a charge of
passing a fictitious check preferred by
]. S. Rogers, who, with his son, con-
ducts a loan agency. After Dunham's
arrest, it was alleged, Rogers tele-
phoned Mrs. Durham proposing that
if $500 was forthcoming her husband
release could be obtained.
The matter was placed in the hands
of Chief Detective Browne of the dis
trict attorneys office. who passed $500
in marked currency 10 the younger
Rogers in the presence of his father,
and the arrests on compromising OF
felony charges followed.
1t was shown by the evidence that
the check on which Durham was ar
rested was dated ten days in advance
of it's making and as the passing of
check of this kind is not felony, ac-
cording to recent decisions. Justice
Ling says he does not believe that even
the district attorney can contend that
the defendants could be held for COM
pounding a felony when no felony had
been committed. you cannot, legally
speaking" says the Justice, build a
house without a foundation
Found Proof Lacking
1t was suggested by P. j. McCor-
mick, deputy district attorney, who
conducted the prosecution, that Rogers
and his son could be held for trial for
the crime of perjury or false imprison-
ment, but Justice Ling says it would
be hard to prove that the defendants
actually knew at the time they swore
to the complaint against Durham that
the check was post dated.
Another request by Mr. Mccormick
that the men be held to answer for the
crime of extortion, the justice says, re-
quires more serious consideration. 1.-THE
case" he adds, originally was for
| compounding a felony, and the queS-
ton here arises as to whether or not
/ am able to take the garment which
was cut out and fitted for a certain
crime and make it over so that it will
conform to the contour of another and
different offense. In certain cases,
with some patching. taking up of
seams, legal shortening and lengthen-
ing, this may be done. In my opinion
there was, under the evidence in this
case, no sufficient fear or force, super
induced by the threats of defendants,
which compelled Mrs. Durham or any
other person to part with their prop
erty."
AS a result of yesterdays decision it
! is expected the complaint against Car
! lyle Wynn an attorney who was Joined
with Rogers and his son in the COM
pounding of a felony charge, will also
be dismissed.
