Assassins Fire on Los Angeles
Suspended Chief.
Attempt to Murder Marks Eve
of Primary.

Los Angeles, May 4.-The chances
of Charles E. Sebastian, suspended
chief of police, for the mayoralty NOM
ination, in view of an attempt to as
sassinate him last night and of his
trial on charges of immortality now in
progress, monopolized interest in the
primary election today.
Sebastian had a narrow escape from
an enemy's bullets. He was sitting in
to ]. o. Roger, who was a witness in
his behalf at the trial yesterday.
About IL o'clock the telephone bell
rang and the chief answered it, talk
ing for about ten minutes. The voice
on the other end of the wire prOfeSSed
inquiries about how to mark his bal
lot in the election. Returning to the
room where he left Roger Sebastian
was about to sit down when a shot was
fired and a bullet crashed lthroughs the
window, whizzing directly over the
chair in which the suspended chief of
police had been sitting. Immediately
afterward another bullet crashed
through the window and lodged in
book lying on table. aa et.s
Neighbors attracted by the shots
said they saw man wearing a light
overcoat and carrying a satchel run
from the rear of the house. About an
hour before the shooting, neighbOrs
also said they saw two men lurking In

tan home. Sebastian has alleged that
the charges involving his morality
were the outcome of a political plot.

as a candidate for mayor.
Frederick j. Whiffen, president OF

Guilt ON LAWSON
Labor > Leader Condemned to
Life in Prison.
His Attorney Calls Client Vic
tim of John ID. Gold.

Trinidad. Col. May John r.
Lawson, labor leader. late yesterday
was condemned to spend the remain
der of his life at hard labor in the
Colorado penitentiary. He was found
guilty of first degree murder in con-
nection with the death of John MINI
mo, a deputy sheriff, killed in a strike
battle October rs, 1913. Under the
Colorado statute making it the duty
of the, jury to fix the penalty at death
or life imprisonment, the jury in the
district court fixed the milder pun
ishment.
Judge dillyer announced the labor
leader would be released on $4,000
bond pending action on his motion
for a new trial. Lawson's former bond
In Las Animas county was $4,000.
Seated at his lawyers table after the
verdict, John r. Lawson talked calm
ly of the outcome of his fight for life
and liberty.
Later Attorney Hawkins issued an
additional statement in which he said:
"Rockefeller's gold is claiming j. r.
Lawson, labor leader, as a victim
Rockefe1ler's lawyers worked up the
evidence and Rockefe1ler's detectives
testified in the case to secure convic-
ton. The verdict is an unspeakable
outrage. In any other community an
acquittal would have been had in five
minutes. The conviction is stirring
the nation; kilograms are pouring in
on us from all over the country and
the beginning is not yet"

TRADING STAMPS.
Indiana Passes Law Requiring License
~ Fee of 1000.

The Indiana legislature has enacted
a law requiring concerns issuing trad
ing stamps to pay a license per year of
$1,000. In this connection, it might be
stated that firm which has more
recently adopted the system of
trading stamps in Topeka says that it
it's gross business. 1t is estimated
there are now eighty business houses
in Topeka using trading stamps. This
shows a tremendous tax on business
and with lessened advantage to any
dealer with many in same scheme.
There are probably now more business
firms giving away stamps in this city
than there were fifteen or twenty
years ago when the merchants became
dissatisfied with the plan and united
ly agreed to abandon it.
