| Pennsylvania Insurgents" in
both parties have issued a call
for a convention to put in nomi-
nation a state ticket in opposition
to the republican and democratic
tickets. The call, which is put
in strong language, recites that:
Representative government has
been overthrown in Pennsylvan-
la, that with unimportant excep-
tions, all governmental func-
tons are performed by the crea-
lures of a political machine" and
that the "manipulators of this
machine have, in a peculiarly
shameless manner, dictated the
actions of both republican and
| democratic conventions. In a
recent issue The Herald called
attention to a similar condition
existing in Minnesota politics.
Since that sentiment was put in
.print, The Herald has had nc
reason to change it's opinion
The same gang is behind both
political parties in the North Stal
state. The people are getting
wise to this fact, however, ano
there's going to be something

Election to Sanction Union of Holly
wood and Los Angeles Is
Set for Next Mon-
day

The authorized election for the an
nexation of the city of Hollywood with
Los Angeles is set for next Monday,
January "a, and leaders of the move
ment hope that voters will go to the
polls to join in the welcome to the
population of more than 5000 intelligent
and prosperous people and a vast
amount of we'll improved property in
both the business and residential dis
tricts of the foothill city.
Preparations are now being made to
establish the booths in the eightyone
voting places of the 203 precincts In the
territory affected, and all voters in Los
Angeles and in Hollywood have re-
ceived notices of the election and all
necessary information as to the voting

aroused in this annexation election
through personal effort and general
publicity in the newspapers, and it is
expected that a large vote will be cast.
The law provides that there must be a
majority in favor of the annexation in

alton, but every voter should exercise
his right and cast his vote early" is the
advice of the annexation boosters.

DAYLIGHT BURGLAR
FINDS EASY BOOTY
Delay of Police In Reaching Scene of
Crime Gives Marauders Ample
Time to Make Good Their
Escape

On returning to her home at 1901 Will
shire boulevard yesterday, after an alb
sence of several hours, Mrs. Charles G.
Andrews saw man answering the
description of the real daylight burglar
emerge from the front door of hel
house and hurry away. She rushed
into the house, discovered number OF
trinkets missing, the house ransacked
then telephoned to the police depart
ment.
Delay of the police in reaching the
scene of the burglary gave the GRIM
inal ample time to escape. Detective
Joe Ritch, who searched the neighbor-
hood after Chief Dishman left, learned
that a housemaid across the street
from the home Of Mrs. Andrews had
noticed a man enter the yard of the
Andrews home, ring the door bell and
after receiving no answer, walk around
to the rear of the house and disappear
Mrs. Andrews told the officers that
the man had entered by means of a
pass key to a rear door. She said the
man evidently was looking for money
as he left several pieces of valuable
jewelry on a dresser.
In addition to the thefts of articles
from the home of Mrs. Andrews, an
other daylight burglary was reported to
the police a few minutes before infor-
nation was obtained from Mrs. AN
drews. The case is that of H. Robb OF
S34 Grand View street, who told the de-
testives that his home was entered by
means of a pass key and watch, a
neck chain, ring and $3.50 were taken

UNOFFENDING MAN
F. G. CASE is ACCUSED OF MAX
ING ASSAULT
Officer Who Is Declared to Have At
tackled Member of Auto Party
Is Arrested for Dis
turbance

One of the most brutal instances of
arbitrary action on the part of men
presumed to be officers of the law and
actir under the authority of deputy
sheriff's badge occurred at Watts yes
terday afternoon, according to the
statement made last night by Attorney
Fred H. Thompson.
THE man whose brutality was most
unct led for gave his name as f. G..
Case and claimel. to be the chief dep
uty under Sheriff Hammel in charge
of the motorcycle men who have been
patrolling the automobile course be-
tween Los Angeles and Aviation park, I"
said the attorney.
"These are the facts in the case" he
added. Il was driving my big Chad
wick car to Aviation park. We were
outside the city limits and outside the
limits of Watts and our Speedometer
showed a speed of 20 miles an hour.
Suddenly two men sprang out from
ambush and one of them said:, You're
exceeding the speed limit and under
arrest. You'll have to go to Watts
with me- The arresting officers gave
their naimes as Mitchell and Whitley.
Il went to Watts to a store and a
postoffice and justice of the peace
all known by the name of Kellogg.
Instead of arresting me, they arrested
my chauffeur, Jimmy Ragan, who was
sitting beside me in the car
MY wife and one of her women
friends were in the car in front of the
justice shop-grocery -postoffice.
When I went into the store to give
bail for Rogan, this man Case came
in and tried to tell this justice how
much bail should be demanded.
"A friend of mine, who was my
guest in the auto, hearing this man
Cases talk asked him his name. The
question was decently put and met
with the answer: None of your busi-
ness. What are you butting in for?'
My friend tried to find out the name
of this emisSary of the sheriff from a
man behind the counter. He was told
that he was a city man and me didn't
know. Then my guest came back
again to this man Case and asked for
either his name or number.
Knocked Down by Deputy
For a reply, he was knocked down
in the store in the presence of a num-
ber of people. He was dragged out of
the store and knocked down again in
front of my wife and my other wom-
an guest on the sidewalk.
Both of the women protested and
were sworn at by this man Case in
reply and my frlend was dragged TO
the Watts city hall. Before getting
there, he was knocked down a third
time, although he had made no objec-
ton to obeying the officer of the law
other than to ask who he was and what
the charge was against him.
"At the city hall the marshal was
summoned and my friend, whose only
offense had been to ask this man Case
his name or number, was hustled into
a cell of the barn-like structure known
as the Watts Jail and kept there for
half hour while bail was being ar
rnged.

HELD FOR MURDER OF
LUNCH WAGON COOK
Hal E. Hardy Bound Over to Answer
for Staying William Moore,
Who Was Killed De-
cember 8

Hal e. Hardy, accused of lie murder
of William Moore, proprietor of a
lunch wagon at Ninth and Main
streets, who was shot to death the
morning of December 8, was given his
preliminary examination in Police
Judge Roses court yesterday and held
to answer to the superior court with
out bonds.
Witnesses testified that they had
seen Hardy in the Buckeye saloon, in
Fifth street near Broadway; that he
was intoxicated and quarrelsome. They
also said he had a revolver in his
pocket
Robert O'Neil night clerk at the
Essex hotel, 824 South Main street,
where Hardy roomed, said that Hardy
entered the place a short time before
the killing and remarked: mo one
ever got the best of me-" The wit
ness then stated that Hardy left the
place and soon after a shot was heard.
Later he learned that Moore had been
killed but did not see Hardy until
about o'clock that morning.
DIR. George w. Campbell, autopsy
surgeon, testified to having held a
postmortem examination of the body
and stated that Moore came to his
death from a gunshot wound in the
heart.
j. ]. Woods said that he was stand
ing in front of the Buckeye saloon
when Hardy approached and began to
curse him after he refused to drink
with the accused.
Edward Tracy, manager of the
Buckeye saloon, stated that Hardy
entered the place about 11:30 o'clock,
cursed because the, witness would not
read circular handed him by Hardy,
then left. Tracy said the accused re-
turned later and remained in the sa-
loon until closing time, when he was
elected.

.CHAPLINS FOUND
GUILTY BY JURY
VERDICT IN IMPERIAL LAND
FRAUD CASE RETURNED
DISAGREEMENT AS TO GUILT OF
McPHERRlN
Tuesday Is Day Fixed for Sentence by
Judge WeIIborn-Trial Had .>
Lasted Seventeen
Weeks

After a trial lasting seventeen weeks
and jury deliberation of three days,
the Imperial valley land fraud cases
were disposed of yesterday noon, when
a verdict of guilty was returned In the
complaints against Frank N. Chaplin
and David H. Chaplin, and a disagree
ment as to the guilt Of Paul H. Nc
Pherrin, the third defendant.
When he received the verdict of the
jury Judge Wellborn Of the United
States district court fixed Tuesday,
January 25, as the date for sentence.
The convicted defendants were allowed
their liberty on the same bond fur
nished at the time of their indictment.
The result of the trial was keen
disappointment to the relatives of the
Chaplns. McPherrin, who confidently
expected acquittal, palpably was agi-
tated when the jury rendered its YER
dict, although it is not yet determined
whether he will be retired.
The specific charge against the de-
PENDANTS was defrauding the govern
ment of lands in the Imperial valley,
and If McPherrin faces trial again it
will present the unusual case of one
person being tried on the charge OF
conspiracy.
The indictments against the defen-
dants were found by the federal grand
jury in June, 1908. They charge that
in 1901 and 1902 the defendants oper-
ated in lands which were then part OF
San Diego county, by inducing entry
men to take desert land entries and
by means of blank assignments tc
transfer these claims to whoever they
wished. That money was used in hav-
ing dummy entrymen file claims or
the lands also was alleged.
It is estimated that the trial has cost
the government nearly 100000. oscar
! Lawler former United States attorney
assisted United States Attorney Nc
Cormick in the prosecution of the case
and in two cases when Mccormick was
i'll, took charge of the prosecution him
| self.
Several noted attorneys of Los An
geles and ]. N. Eshelman, district at
torney of Imperial county, appeared
for the defendants.
The long drawn out trial developed
several collateral charges, including
perjury and other serious offenses
which are now pending in the United
| States district court.
