LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 4, 1907.
EPES RANDOLPH SUES
L. LINDSAY, HIS PARTNER
Asks Return of $26,784 Alleged to
Have Been Advanced to Finance
Development of Mine in
Sonora
A suit over a mining company contract
involving some of the most prominent
men In the southwest and hundreds of
thousands' of dollars was Wed In the
.superior court yesterday, Kpes Randolph
appearing as plaintiff and Lycurgus Lind
say as defendant, while Henry S. Mackity
Is mentioned as ono of the partners in
thr: deal.
The suit is for the recovery of $20,
75J.62. which plaintiff claims is duo him
by the defendant on amounts advanced
tv keep the mining properties In question
going. The Llanos do Oro Mining and
Milling company is the concern over
which the suit is to be waged.
According to the story of the mining
venture as told in the complaint, hun
drcils ot thousands of dollars have been
.spent in developing the mining property,
which continued to eat up cash raster
than It could be provided, and when no
more money could be raised on credit
the partners were forced to put up tho
coin out of their own pockets to keep
tlie proposition floating and keep taith
with their creditors, who had invested
on Uib representation that tho property
whs a fine opportunity to make money.
The inner workings of a great financial
undertaking and the methods by which
mine magnates engineer their giant en
terprises is told in the complaint.
It appoara from that document that
the three men formed a company for the
development and operation of mines in
Sonora, Mexico, agreeing to share equally
in the expenses and tho ownership of
the properties. The company was cap
italized at $400,0(10.
Notes Issued
It was estimated that $250,000 would be
sufficient to develop tho properties and
erect a hundred-stump mill. To secure
this amount it, was agreed to Issue notes
of the company for ilfteen, months and
otter them for sale on the market, basing
them on the capital stock, which carried
title to the property, represented to be
a valuable investment.
In order to secure the ready sale of
the notes forty shares of stock were
given as a bonus on every $100 of notes.
The property was represented to Invest
ors as worth $4,000,000. Tho notes were
negotiated and 33,333 1-3 shares of slock
glv?n as bonus.
More cash was needed to continue op
erations. The credit of the property was
stretched to, the extent of another $105,000,
which soon disappeared.
It was then found 1 necessary to raise
more money. Tht partners agreed to
advance the necessary amount from their
own pockets, share and share alike.
This was done until the mill was started,
when It was found the oro would not
pay the cost of operation and more de
velopment work would have to be under
taken 'If the enterprise was to be saved.
. This necessitated more cash. • Again
the partners furnished the funds. Again
cording ito . the | complaint, they < were ;to
share , equally |in the expense and if one
advanced | more | than ¦ the other | the ' bal

Epes Randolph claims to have advancf J
under this agreement cash to the amount
of J. 90,556.65. while he says tha defenuant
only advanced $42,987.40. He asks for 8

SANTA RECEIVES
FIRST REQUISITION
LITTLE CLARENCE CROWDB OUT
SI3TER
Son of Harry F. Milling, Cafe Man,
Tells In Letter of Hl* Desires.
Papa Is Figuring on
Mortgage
The first formal rpqulsltlon on Santa
Claus for 1907 has been announced.
It comes from v certain Clarence Mor
ton Milling, 7 years of age, precocious
son of Harry E. Mi.lcr, rn:i;:ager of a cafe
on Spring street.
dome weeks ago the elder Milling sent
his wife and the boy to Ontario, near
Pomona, for their health. That the cli
mate has agreed with the younger Mill
ing is apparent in the finale of his fath
er's visit there last Sunday. As pater
was about to leave for town Clarenco
Inquired: "When will you be back, papa?"
"That is hard to tell," answered papa.
"Before Christmas?" persisted the
youngster.
"Maybe— why?"
"Well, I've made out a list of what
I want, anu If you will do me the favor,
take !t into Los Angeles and mall It to
Santa Claus."
Here is the modest requisition: "A
football, a water pistol, a Shetland pony,
a air-gun, 2 horns, 3 games, 2 books, n
catcher's glove, a football suit, a base
ball suit. 50-cent belt, a train track and
train, boxing gloves two pair oil paints
—Clarence Milling."
Father gazed on the bill of lading for
a time and assured Clarence that he
would see what Santa Claus had In those
lines.
Meanwhile, he (father) is wondering If
a mortgage on the place will be suffi
cient for the kid's demands, and If so—
well, where will the little sister get off?
For / there are two of 'em.

Max Reger has just received the title

There nave been few. if any, moro sat
isfactory musical organizations In Leip
zig during jie present season than the
Norah Clench string quartet. Entirely
unknown to music lovers here, with rep
utation limited to the British isles, they
won immediate recognition by the sheer
beauty of their playing. This is remark
able, Judged by orthodox standards; for
a ladles' quartet is an entire novelty
here, and, without consideration of sex,
must endure comparison with the nu
merous high claE.3 performers _of the
sterner sex who appear In Leipzig. It is
not derogatory to any other similar or
ganization to say that this quartet of
ladles, In many respects, is equal to the
best. There was little femininity In
their playing; assurance, precision, true
and real manly energy were the dis
tinguished characteristics, combined
with a deiicac,'- and musical understand
ing which won for them repeated re
calls.
The program was varied and Interest
ing, consisting of the Haydn quartet in
Q major, Debussy's only string quartet
in O minor, a fantasie In D major by
Ernest Walker, and Ernst yon Doh
nanyi's serenade in C major for violin,
viola and 'cello. The most interesting
of these was the Debussy selection,
which made exorbitant demands upon
the performers, but repaid by Us intense
cleverness and originality of conception
the amount of work demanded in
preparation.

This is true of the famous Kilties,
Canada's greatest concert band, and If
Mr. Carnegie were giving a medal to
the most traveled musical organization
in existence the Kilties would undoubt
edly wear It.
During this time they have visited over
seven countries and played over 4000 con
certs, two of which were before the king
of England by royal 'command. The
Kilties is a unique organization, consist
ing of Scotch Canadian players who wear
the Scotch uniform but who play the
music of all nations with a spirit that
speaks volumes for their individual abil
ity as musicians. With the band is a
choir of sixteen voices which renders
the ballads that have made Scotland
famous the world over.
In addition to the choir and band the
Kilties have with them a troupe of
Scotch dancers and pipers, headed by
Anglus McMillian Frasler, champion pip
er and dancer of America, whose equal
has never been seen in this particular
act. This interesting- organization will
be seen and heard at Simpson auditorium
on the nights of December 12 and 13 and
on the afternoons of December 12 and 14.
A special matinee is to be given for
the school children In which a special
program will be arranged for them. The
idea is to make thl3 an educational pro
gram which will also be of great interest
to the young folks, giving them an op
portunity of familiarizing themselves
with the Scotch songs, the Scotch dances
and the costumes of Scotland.

PURITY OF BUTTERMILK
TO BE INVESTIGATED
Deputy District Attorney McCartney
to Take Up Charges Under
the Pure Food Law
January 1
Traffic in manufactured buttermilk,
Bold as the real article, is said to have
taken on gigantic proportions in Los
Angeles recently. The question will occu
py the attention of Deputy District Attor
ney McCartney, who was Instrumental In
securing the enactment of the state pure
food law.
According to the state law, action can
not be taken before the Ist of January,
when the deputy district attorney plans
to sample the product of every dairy. The
process of ripening the skimmed milk In
to buttermilk by adding chemicals is tsald
to result in the creation of a most in
jurious compound.
The spurious product Is said to bring
five cents a quart when sold to restau
rant keepers, saloon men and soda foun
tains, and Is retailed at a large profit.
The city ordimnces does not provide a
test, so the da<?iers must answer to the
county authorities.

Next Friday morning a hearing will he
held on the fender question.
The Interurban companies yesterday
made formal application for permission
to remove fenders from cars outside
the city limits as they have been found
impracticable. This is the sequel to the
demonstration made in the presence of
the city council when the eclipse fenders
were broken by contact with dummies on
the Long Beach line.
Before taking final action the council
will hear both sides of the problem dis

The formal request for authority to

The rigid cowcatchers will remain on
