SAYS MEXICO PAID
EMPLOYE OF CITY
Prosecutor Eddie Presents New
Evidence in Case Against
Detective TaIamanteS

Evidence tending to show that f. ].
Talamantes Is in the employ of the
Mexican government, while being en-
ployed as detective on the Los An
geles police force, was introduced by
City Prosecutor Guy Eddie at the ses-
sion of the police commission yester-
day.
The evidence was not as strong on
this point as Mr.. Eddie would have
liked to have had it to prove his point,
but he declared the Mexican consul had
receipts to show that money had been
paid Talamantes by the Mexican gov
ernment for services rendered, and
the commission instructed Chief Gallo
way to try to induce the Mexican con-
sui to testify when the case is resumed
next Wednesday night.
AS the matter pertains to the admin
istration of governmental affairs. there
is no legal way the consul can be made
to produce the receipts 1t is alleged
he has, unless he volunteers.
DE LARA MAKES COMPLAINT
L. G. de Lara, a Mexican revolution
ist, who said he was arrested by order
of Talamantes for an apparently triv-
ial offense, was the last witness on the
stand yesterday afternoon. He told OF
having been held in jail for several
days, without being booked on any
charge, while his wife endeavored to
secure his release by offering bail. He
said that while held in a cell the first
meal offered him consisted OF nothing
but a decayed potato, SO objectionable
that he did not touch it. He declared
the potato was removed and given to
him again for his second meal and then
a third time.
Some of the evidence given yesterday
went back as far as twelve years. L.
f. Botello, a private detective, said
that William Bouett, a saloonkeeper,
had told j. M. Glass, former chief of
police that Bouett had caught Tai
amantes robLing the till of the saloon
one night after closing hours AS this
was all hearsay evidence. Mr.. Glass
is to be summoned to appear before
the commission.
Talamantes and L.. F. Rico, another
detective, who with T. F. Rico is also
charged with being implicated in a
number of the incidents in which Tai
amantes is said to have figured, were
put on the witness stand yesterday to
tell why they had arrested Mexican
revolutionists. They said they had
been detailed on the case by Captain
Auble. Paul Flammer, captain of de-
tectives, was called to tell if this state
ment could be supported by the rec
ords of the detective department, and
the police commission was astonished
when it learned that no records are
kept in the detective side of the house.
Mr.. Flammer could not tell whether
the men had been detailed on this case
or not, nor could he tell what men
have been detailed on any other case
or what they were doing with their
fiDoN

BEGGAR SAYS HE is SON
OF FORMER NAVY OFFICER

J. A. McBenna appeared before Police
Judge Rose yesterday morning, charged
with begging and drinking for the past
forty days.
McKenna testified that he was an
Englishman. His father, he said, was
former officer in the British navy,
who for several years has been sending
him a monthly remittance. He denied
drinking and begging, as charged in
the complaint, but promised the court
that if 'leniency be shown him "just
this once" he would leave the city for
ever.
Good" said Jude Rose. "See that
you leave Los Angeles Immediately and
never let us see your face again. If
you return, it's thirty days in the city

238 YARDS
OF SILK UNDER GOWN

Concealing 2S8 yards of silk goods,
alleged to have been stolen from the
Broadway Department store, under her
dress, Marie Fernandez was arrested
yesterday morning by Detectives NC
Namara and Dixon and locked IN the
city Jail on a charge of grand larceny.
Pete Gutierrez, alleged to be an ac-
complice, was arrested on the same
charge.
The woman and man passed an hour
Yesterday looking at silks in the store
but failed to make a purchase. A
clerk who was waiting on them be-
came suspicious of their actions and
notified the store detective. After
watching the couple for few min
utes the detective became convinced
that Gutierrez was slipping silks off
the counter to the floor which were
picked up by the woman ana con-
cealed under her skirt.
Detectives Mcnamara and Dixon
also watched the people for some time
before arresting them. At an oppor-
tune moment they tapped them on
the shoulder and asked them to step
in the waiting patrol.
When searched at the police station
the .s-oman's skirts gave up medium
sized handbag. Opening this, the de-
tectives found silks which are valued
at nearly $3.50.

The Dlanksnship Case.

Pete Blankenship waived exami-
nation at Prestonsburg on the
charge OF stealing a lot OF shoes,

lished In our last issue. The grand
Jury is now in session there and

Sol. Crabtree was released on his
own recognizance and summoned to
appear as a witness. Also, there is
nothing in the charge at first rlRde
against Jack Crabtree. These young
men have always been honest ard
straightforward. The shoes they
have we're procured in an entirely
legitimate way and in no way com.
promises their honor.
Tom Blankenship was also ar,
rested in this case because some ol
the stolen goods were found In hli
house, We learn that he has gwen

The Pay Car Again.

The pay force of the c. & O.
railway has been divided, and now
the old time pay car is once more
seen at the smaller stations. The
territory now covered by the c. &
o. system is so large that this divi-
sion became necessary. Mr.. Han
cock, so long the efficient general
paymaster, continues in the service
but the Kentucky district is made a
separate work and Mr.. Burroughs,
who for many years was Mr.. Han
cocks assistant, will pay in the new
field, For the first time in several
years the pay car went over the o,
& B. S. division this week, distrib-
uting the coveted shekels as II
went. 1t is thought that hereafter
the car will be around much earlier
than heretofore, probably about the
18th.

An Up 10 Date Stock Man.

In February last Mr., d. II. John
son. of Whites Creek, w. Va, faith
er OF Mrs. II. C. Wellman, of this
city bought 80 head OF 2-year-old
Aberdeen Angus cattle at the Chi
cago stock yards and shipped them
to his farm as feeders. When he
bought them their average weight
was 745 pounds, About two weeks
ago Mr.. Johnson sold these cattle
at home for $5.S5 per hundred
weight. At the time of sale their
average weight was 1898 pounds.
Here was a gain of 1850 pounds
OF good flesh in the short space OF
eight months. You stock men who
know what 2-year-old cattle were
worth in February last can easily
figure Mr., Johnson's profit on his
investment, He is an up to date
stock raiser, familiar with all the
details OF the business. He has sew.

cows and heifers, purchased from
the famous Ingleside stock farm.

SENATOR PAYNTER.
Addressed Lawrence County
Voters Yesterday.
Made an Able Speech at Louisa and
Will go TO PTestOnsbuTg
on Friday.

The irony of fate was never more
strikingly shown than on Thursday.
The weather for about two months
had been ideal, all events in this
town having been greeted with clear
skies and fayoring breezes. Thurs
day was Senator Paynter's day in
Louisa, and lowering skies, chill
winds and weeping clouds signalized
his coming. Then, too, the notice
sent out by the State Central Com
mittee reached Louisa too late for
publication in the NEWS of last
week and the County Committee was
compelled to depend upon the cir
culation of hand bills to adventis5
the Senator's coming.
Under such unfavorable circum-
stances It was not expected that the
distinguished gentleman would have
an audience at all commensurate
with the man and the occasion.
Judge Paynter came in on the
morning train from Ashland and wls
escorted to the Brunswick, where he
rested until the hour for speaking
arrived. Then, in the Court House,
and to a crowd larger than was
expected under the circumstances he
spoke in his forcible and attractive
way concerning the great issues OF
the hour AS logical, forcerui and
understandable speaker Senator
Paynter has few equals. He is an
able man, well posted in all puOliC
questions and affairs, and this abil-
ity coupled with his long experience
In both houses of Congress, enables
him to make such an exposition OF
the questions of the hour al moi

Lexington and Eastern Extension.

General Manager William A.

ed that the contracts for the ex-
tension of the l.. & E. to the east
had been let in sections of Is miles
each, beginning at the present
eastern terminus of the road, at
Jackson, Breathitt county.
From the Perry county line the
proposed road crosses the north
fork of the Kentucky river seven
teen times and it will be necessary
to construct at least that number
Of bridges. The contractors who
VIII build the line are expected to
send their supplies and equipment
to the mountains within the next
week or ten days in order to take
advantage of the good weather and
passable road so that everything
may be where 1t is needed when

Almost all the right of way has
been obtained, without resorting
TO condemnation, Mr. Mcdowell
says the people want the road and
in most instances have treated i
fairly and in some cases where the

to the. fact that the property was

AYOidabIe Trouble.

A recent number OF a Hunting
ton paper has a story of the arrest
and imprisonment of man about
40 years old, charged with drunken
ness and carrying concealed weap-
ons. He had been found drunk
on the streets, and the pistol was
found on his person. What the
paper calls "a pathetic feature OF
the case" was the appearance of
the father of the prisoner, charged
with being drunk. The father gave
his age as "a, and said he and his
son lived in shanty on the Big San
dy in Lawrence county, Ky. Here
were two men, father and son, one
in the prime of life, the other we'll
past his allotted span of three
score and ten. both in serious trou-
BILE which was easily avoided. 1t is
doubtful If either had any business
in Huntington, but granting that
they had, neither had the least pos
sible use for whiskey or pistol.
Either is bad enough, both is COM
bination which as a trouble-b -bringer
Is irresistible. The wonder is that
the Huntington story stops where
it does. The wonder is that the
people from the shanty on the
Big Sandy in Kentucky" had not
killed or been killed. They had
the proper equipment for a tragedy.
