ASKS COURT TO ENJOIN
BLOCK KLONDIKE STOCK
Suit Filed Disputing Ownership of
100000 Shares

Alleged illegal control of 100000 shares
of stock in the Klondike Mining and
Milling company, of which the par
value is 81 a share, caused M. E. Suver,
who owns 10000 shares, to file suit
yesterday in the superior court against
J. w. Downing, the corporation named,
James H. DoVey, J. w. Bell, William
Thomas, A. II. Smith, H. L. Fklaproth,
Roland G. Swaffeld and Sol w. Miller.
Suver, after reciting that the total
number of shares of stock in the cor
poration is 100000 and that the con-
Germs principal place of business is
Long Beach, asserts that Downing
claims to be the owner of 736,936 shares,
while the books show that he has only
1885, 1886. He declares that the other
100000 shares claimed by Downing
stand in the names of the other de-
PENDANTS, but AYERS that they really
are only trustees for Downing.
Claiming that Downing never has
done anything for the corporation
either by the expending of money or
by labor-to warrant his having the
100000 shares, Suver asks the court to
declare Downing's claims null and void,
to order the stock surrendered to the
corporation and to enjoin him from
laying claim to 1t.

GIRL OF FOUR YEARS
WANTS FATHERS LEGACY
Court Asked to Change Insurance
Policy of Insane Man

Alice B. Stephens, less than years
old, yesterday, through her guardian,
Gertrude Stephens, filed in the su-
perior court a suit against Harvey l..
Stephens, Flora e. Stephens and the
supreme lodge of the Fraternal Broth
erhood to have life insurance policy,
once issued in her favor for $1,000 and
later altered, adjusted so that she will
resume the position of beneficiary.
1t is alleged that Harvey Stephens
was insured June 20, 1901, for $1,000 and
made the little girl, who is said to be
his daughter, the sole beneficiary about
December 13, 1907, at which time it is
alleged he was perfectly sane and COM
petent, which it is charged he was not
February 26, 1910, when it is asserted
he became insane.
1t is averred by the plaintiff that
Flora Stephens, the mans mother, in
fluenced him to change the policy
March, 1910, so that she would be the
beneficiary. That was less than three
months before he was adjudged insane
and committed to the asylum.
The plaintiff asserts that the Frater-
nal Brotherhood refuses to adjust the
policy so it will be as it was when in
favor Of the little girl and the court is
desired to order it to do so.

APPOINTS GUARDIAN FOR
WOMAN SPENDTHRIFT
Aged Heiress to Sudden Small
Fortune ScatterS $4,000
in Less Than a Month

Guardians of the money and of the
person of Mrs. Palmyra Noble, the
aged woman who recently obtained a
gift of $4,000 from a rheumatic patient
she nursed in ST. Louis and who proved
herself a spendthrift, were appointed
yesterday by Judge Rives of the pro-
bate department of the superior court.
The Los Angeles Trust and Savings
bank, the president of which, J. C.
Drake, took a personal interest in the
elderly woman, who seemed to be the
dupe of every person who knew her
and who had something undesirable to
sell, was made the guardian of the
$500 which remains from the original
$50 900 given her four weeks ago. Miss
Jennie Lappin was appointed to keep
personal care of Mrs. Noble.
Mrs. Mobiles record of extravaganza
includes the expenditure of $2500 to
come from st. Louis to Los Angeles
and the purchase of a lease of the
Santa Rita hotel for $11,S00. In less
than three weeks after receiving the
money she had squandered all except
the $500 remaining when new-found
friends took her in hand, and on the
allegation that she is incompetent to
attend to her own financial affairs sue
ceeded in having her and her money
placed in safe keeping.

FIND WOMAN SUFFERER
STILL RETAINS REASON
Mrs. Gorzny Sent to Hospital Un-
til Aid Can Be Found

Mrs. Anna Gorzny, the tuberculosis
sufferer who was supposed to have
lost her reason when she crossed tine
great divide" on the way from Den
yer to Los Angeles, was discharged
as sane yesterday by Judge BordWell
and the lunacy commission.
The judge and the commission came
to the conclusion that her peculiar
condition when she was before them
last Friday was caused by the ad-
ministration of opiates. Her mind
was quite clear yesterday, and she
seemed well except for her physical
suffering. She was sent back to the
county hospital, where she will be
carefully tended in the medical ward
for a few days, pending a conclusion
of the authorities as to what shall be
done with her.
Meantime, bertha, her 14-year-old
daughter, who proved SO faithful dur
ing her mothers recent collapse, Is
the guest of the one friend whom she
found in the city, with whom she had
previous acquaintance. That friend is
Miss Alice M. Howell of 1917 West
Thirty-ninth place, a bookkeeper for
the keystone Iron works.
Judge Bordwell yesterday wrote a
letter to the husband and father, 1g-
natz Gorzny, a plumber, who lives
at 1922 Perry street, Denver. He ap-
prised the man of the condition of his
wife and daughter.

Municipal Affairs
FAVOR CIVIC BODY To
BRING FACTORIES HERE
Industrial Commission Advocated
to Collect and Disseminate
Data for Capital

Another commission may take its
place with the harbor commission, the
proposed consolidation commission and
other municipal bodies that exist for
the betterment of the public welfare.
The new commission will be known as
the industrial commission" and its
function will be to locate factories and
other industries in Los Angeles.
This question has been agitated
among city officials, and as soon as
Mayor Alexander has the consolidation
commission off his hands he probably
will take the industrial commission
into his cogitations.
w M. Humphreys, inspector of pub
lie works, is one of the most enthusias-
tic of the city officials over the matter.
1--WE need such a commission in this
city to bring the factories here" said
Mr.. Humphreys. ut should be the
duty of such a commission to get facts
and figures on land available for in
dustrial purposes, to tell those manu-
facturers intending to locate here what
the land they require will cost, what
freight rates are to various points,
what connections can be made, the cost
of fuel which, where oil is used, is
very cheap, and everything else that g.
manufacturer can want to know.
"If, as they tell us, we can raise
plenty of cotton in the Imperial valley,
it should be one of the duties of such
a commission to send back to Lowell,
Mass, or some other cotton manufac-
turing city, get the skilled workmen
out here, and along with them will
come the factories. Such commits
sion could do any untold amount of
good to this city.
1.-THE commissioners should be ex-
pert men in their line and they should
be paid good salaries 1t will all come
back many fold in the development of
the city.
1.-THE city should not stand the entire
expense of such a commission, but the
various civic bodies who stand for the
city's improvement should provide
share"
