KNIFE AND FORK
CLUB ORGANIZED
Ladies Are Enthusiastic over plans
For Second of Series of Social
Dinners.

AS might have been expected wher
the ladies took charge, the plans fol
the next social dinner are gaining
great favor. An enthusiastic meeting
of the committee was held Saturday
afternoon at the Office of Judge Par
ker. Those of the committee present
were Miss Nettie Duncan. Mesdames
W. P. Thompson. Lee Barrett, Swain
and Bordenkircher and Messrs. Rid.
die, Wallen and Judge Parker
It was decided to hold the next din
ner under the auspices Of the ladies'
OF the Presbyterian church, on the
evening Of Monday, May 2. 1t was
thought important to impress upon
the people the fact that these social
dinners are not church affairs. The
organization is, instead, rather an
auxiliary to the Commercial Club.
and it was decided to name it the
Knife and Fork Club, to which every
one in Vinita is, by reason of his resi-
dence here, a charter member, and
has the privilege Of attending and
bringing some friend or friends to
these dinners. There are no dues and
there will be no collection, the only
expense to those attending is the cost
Of the dinner.
Everyone should understand that
the primary object of these suppers is
to bring the people of the town to-
gether, socially and to afford new
comers an opportunity to get ac-
quainted with his newly made fellow
citizens.
For the affair on May 2. a program
has been arranged, including an adj
dress by some good speaker, and sing
ing by double quartet.
The reason that the churches have
been selected as means of giving
these dinners is that the ladies are
better organized to serve such din
ner, and II there "a any surplus rev
enue or profit derived from the din
ner, the funds thus derived will go to
a worthy cause. Otherwise these din
ners are not church affairs.

POLICE FORCE CHANGES
TO FOLLOW PROMOTIONS
Captain Haupt May Be Sent to
Station in East Los
Angeles

With the appointment of Lieut.. R.
S. Haupt to the post of captain to
succeed c. E. Dixon, who was dis
missed from the police department,
and the promotion of Sergeant c. E.
Sebastian TO the grade of lieutenant,
there will be several changes in the
police department.
Captain Haupt has risen rapidly from
the ranks. A little more than year
ago he was a sergeant. He became a
lieutenant and was assigned to duty at
central station. Later when Captain
Dixon was acting as chief OF police
following the retirement of Edward f.
Dshmap Haupt was made acting cap
tain. -
Captain Haupt probably will be
placed in command at the east side
station, relieving Acting Captain A. W
Murray, who probably will be re-
turned TO the University station as
Lieutenant
Lieutenant G. z, Sebastian, probably
will remain on duty at the central
station and fill the place made vacant
by the promotion of Haupt. Lieu
tenant Sebastian had much expert
ence in coping with affairs in China
town, being in charge of the China
town squad a long time. PatrOlman
Curtain, who was promoted to the
rank Of sergeant, probably will as
sumo command Of the Chinatown
squad.

WITNESSES CAUSE
CLASHES IN TRIAL
Acrimonious Exchanges EnIiven
Proceedings at Perrin Case
Hearing in Bay City

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2S.-At the
session of the Perrin case today Wit
ness Hunt asked for permission to ex-
plain his action in asking for a war
rant for the arrest of Former Secret
Service Operative William j. Burns
on charge of subornation of per-
jury.
This explanation led to cross-exami-
nation by United States Attorney Dew
lin and L. p. Boardman, attorney
for C. H. Smell, in which the exchanges
between the witnesses and the lawyers
became so acrimonious that Senator
Stone threatened to forbid any further
examination of the witnesses.
Hunt maintained he was led to make
the charges against Burns through
purely personal motives, augmented by
the belief that Burns had wrongfully
attempted to convict DIR. Perrin.
He admitted the expulsion of his
friend, w. A. Richards, from his po-
sition as land commissioner and his
own temporary suspension as land
agent, were responsible for his action.
Later, on cross-eXamination by
Boardman, he admitted that Richards
was his brother-in-law.
All attempts to make Hunt admit he
was in the pay of DIR. Perrin at the
present time proved futile.
In answer to Attorney Boardman,
Hunt said when he attended the Smell
trial in Arizona he was paid by DR..
Perrin the equivalent of the salary
which he was receiving from the gov
ernment when he applied for leave to
attend the trial.
United States District Attorney Platt
of the district Of Nevada will be on
the stand tomorrow to explain his con-
nection with the indictment of Smell
for perjury.

STRUGGLE AT THRESHOLD

Angered because Deputy Constable ].
z. Davis interfered in a domestic quar-
rel, r. w. Palmer, Al years old, brick
layer, living at 1927 East Forty-ninth
street, attacked the officer last night
and bit him twice on the face and neck.
Davis drew his revolver and fired three
shots at close range at his assailant
Palmer received flesh wounds in both
legs just above the knee, and a bullet
passed through the feshy part of his
forearm.
The trouble started shortly after s
o'clock at the home of Palmer. Palmer
IS said to have been drinking. He US
ually was met at the gate by his
daughter, Lillian, 312 years old, and
when she did not greet him he asked
his wife to explain. Mrs. Palmer told
her husband that the little girl was Wis
iting at the house of neighbor and
would return in a short time. Palmer
censured his wife for allowing the girl
to stay away from home, and soon a
lively quarrel was in progress.
BATTLE INSIDE RESIDENCE
Davis, who lives at 1928 East Forty
eighth place, in the rear of the Palmer
home, heard angry words and went to
investigate. He met Palmer at the
front door of the Palmer home and
asked what the trouble was about.
Palmer asked Davis what authority he
had for interfering, and the officer re-
piled that he was a deputy constable.
This angered Palmer, and he seized
Davis and jerked him into the rOom
Palmer then attacked Davis, so the lat
ter states, and bit him on the left side
of the face and on the neck. Just as
Palmer was about to hurl Davis to the
floor, the latter drew his revolver and
fired three times. The first bullet struck
Palmer in the left forearm and the
other two plowed burrows in his right
and left thighs.
When Davis saw that he had wound
ed his assailant he notified the police,
and the wounded man was taken to the
police hospital.
Palmer explained to the police sur
geons that he had been drinking and
had quarreled with his wife. He also
admitted that he was in the wrong in
resisting the officer, and eXonerated the
ltater from all blame. After his wounds
were bandaged Palmer shook hands
with Davis.
Davis was not taken into custody
and Palmer, after his injuries were
treated, was allowed to return to his
wife and baby

REPORT AMERICANS BUY
VAST AFRICAN TERRITORY
JebeI Musa May Prove United
States Gibraltar

TANGIER, Morocco, Aug. 23.-A re-
port that the greater part of the so
called Anghera country, the region in
the extreme northwestern part of
Africa, occupied by the Anghera
tribesmen, has been purchased by
American interests has aroused great
excitement in diplomatic circles here.
The territory not only has vast in
terests from the standpoint of
capitalists wishing to exploit its
natural resources, but politically and
strategically it is immensely i'm
portant.
It has a forty-mile coast line on the
Mediterranean, stretching from Tan
gier TO Jebel Musa, a mountain near
Ceuta, facing the rock Of Gibraltar
across the straits of Gibraltar, and
considered strategicaIly equal to the
British mountain fortress. Jebel has
an elevation of 27O0 feet and could be
converted into a second Gibraltar.

CHARGED WITH
STEALING WORKS. GLASSES
Police Find Stolen Article, and
Boy Is Locked Up

Arthur Britt, a messenger employed
by the A. D. T. service, was arrested
by Detective Zeigler last night on a
charge of stealing a pair of glasses
from the home Of Judge D. Works.
=, young man was searched by the
officer and the glasses were found on
his person. w
Britt carried a message to the home
and while the latter was absent from
the room, stole the glasses from a
table.
Shortly after the messenger left the
place Judge Works missed the glasses
and notified the police. Detective Zieg-
Ter was detailed to make investigations
and found Britt The lad denied hay
ing taken the glasses. He was
searched and the stolen article re-
covered When the messenger realized
that the evidence was against him he
facetiously remarked:
"I wanted to look at things like
Judge Works does"
Young Britt probably will be ar
raigned in police court this morning

tectives say he has served a term at
the reform school at Whittier.

this appropriation will be sufficient to
demonstrate the necessities and re-
quirements.
THE municipal music committee re-
ceiVed an allowance or $40, 900 last year,
and asked for $4,000 for the coming
year. They stated that the amount
named last year was not sufficient and
that unless a proper amount could be
provided for they would recommend
that the item be cut out entirely,
which was done.
Your committee has been obliged
to cut out the request for a large
part Of the amount asked for Central
park and for the conservatory in East
lake park. Also the amount of $25,-
900 which was asked for by the play
ground committee for the establish
ment and maintenance of an athletic
field in the new Agricultural park.
ADDITION TO POLICE FORCE
Provision was made for an addition
to the police force of fifty additional
officers and men. The city attorney,
city auditor, chief of police and health
department have been in receipt of $780,
200 a year for secret service eXpendi-
ture. No provision has been made for
an accounting of this expenditure.
Your committee has reduced these
mends that a statement be rendered
by the various departments each
month of the actual amount expended
and that an itemizeo statement of the
expenses be submitted to the finance
committee for its inspection.
THE city engineer made an esti-
mate of the amount necessary to pay
for street assessments and for the
opening and widening of the streets in
front of school property, amounting
to $30,440. In response to the request
from the committee the city attorney
advised that expenses of this char
acter should properly come from the
school funds. We have included an
estimate of $6670 for work already
performed or in process, which it
seems fair the city should pay, but
we have made no provision for any
further outlay of this character.
your committee has been obliged
to ignore with very rev exceptions,
which seem to be of an urgent char
acter, all estimates involving an in
crease in salaries. We believe, how
ever that many inequalities exist and
that the present system, if such it can
be called, should be revised and classi-
fed. The auditor has made a number
of suggestions to this committee look
ing toward the facilities of the work
of the budget committee. which sug-
gestions as well as others which occur
to the committee will be embodied in
a later report"
