12 ARREST SIX LOCAL MEN WARRANTS ALLEGE COMPLICITY IN LAND FRAUDS BANK PRESIDENT AMONG THOSE INDICTED Prisoner* Deposit Bonds/ and Are Re. leased Pending Hearing of Cases—Were Arrested a Year Ago Sir Los Angeles men—Warren Gille lcn, president of the Broadway Bank and Trust company, and. R. \V. Kenny, casnier of that institution; Attorney Will D. Gould, Dr. David M. Goodwin of 901 South. Figueroa street, L. R. Myers ami G«-orge L. Steams—have keen arrested by deputy United States marshals, to appear "before United States Commissioner William M. Van DyKe tv answer to a complaint tiled against them June 2, 1906, charging them with complicity in the Oregon lan.i frauds. For almost two years the cases ol the Oregon land frauds have been hanging fire, and during that time the government has been gathering tes timony. The arrests yesterday and the night previous came as a surprise to the six Los Angeles men. Attorney Gould furnished $2000 bail. Dr. Good win $5000 bail, while Messrs. Myers Steams, Kenny and Gillelen gave $1000 bail each. President Gillelen of the Broadwa> Bank and Trust company characterizes the proceedings as an outrage against himself and Cashier Kenny of that in stitution, saying they are both innocent j of any attempt to defraud the govern ment. He says they simply loaned money to the Pacific Furniture and Lumber company, never meeting any of the men indicted and are not members of that company. He says the other four local men are members of the company. He declares he and Mr. Kenny have simply renewed their bond on the old complaint. New Complaints Issued New complaints, issued recently, wil be served on the following San Fran cisco men, wanted for trial at Port land, Oregon. In connection with the land fraud charges: Messrs. Fred W. Dennis, Richard D. Jones. William H. Smith, Jacob C. Cross, William T. Kerr. John R. Miller and Frank A. Stewart. An appeal was finally made by these six Los Angeles men from the decisioi of Commissioner Van Dyke that they be taken to Oregon for trial, which was sustained by Judge Wellborn of Los Angeles and by Judge Ross of San Francisco, to the United States supreme court, which maintained tha identification of prisoners was all that was necessary in an extradition case, no defense being permissible. This Is how the three alleged Mex ican revolutionists have a chance to prevent being taken to Arizona for trial, since they have a chance for trial in Los Angeles instead of being simply, identified and then extradited to that state. This ruling of the supreme court of the land changed federal jurisprudence all over the country and the Los An geles men were absolved from their bonds. They thought the case dis missed permanently, but the charge against them still stood. Hired Many Men The Pacific Furniture and Lumber company, of which all those on whom warrants were served are alleged to be members, Is charged with having hired great numbers of men to work for it in the Roseburg land district near Gold Beach, Oregon, who, when they reached there, were asked to take up land in the name ol the company. ThU3, It Is alleged, illegal entry was made on from 3000 to 8000 acres of land. The government learned of the work going on through the complaint of Alfred Marsh and his wife, Rachel Marsh, that they did not want to take up land, but to earn a livelihood: while the letter of Frank A. Stewart, de manding back pay and threatening to disclose fraudulent methods of the company to the newspapers, was also procured by the government. In the new complaints William H. Smith of San Francisco is named as general manager of the company and all the other men, including those of Los Angeles, are named as members. WILL CASE MAY REACH <URY THIS AFTERNOON Attorney* in Suit Brought to Annul Will Expect to Begin Argu. ment When Court Opens Today Arguments will be made today to the jury in the contested will case of Bobert Carithrrs, who is endeavoring to h we the superior court revoke the will of his brother. Wm. D. Carithers, by the terms of which the widow. Delia A. <*arlthprs, was left practically the estate of her husband. Yesterday was taken up with medical testimony on bthalf of the contestant. Hypothetical questions were asked, basci. on Cartthers' alleged habits prior to the execution of his last will. Dr. M. B. Campbell, who was for merly in ciiargr of the Patton asylum, provrd a witness not to the liking of the contestant, declaring his belief that ('anthers was not of unsound mind at the time the will was made, but was simply recovering from a temporary drunk. Dr. H. G. Brainerd said a man ad dicted to alcohol for a long period, and •■specially near the close of his life, would frequently display evidences of insanity. The arguments today will probably take up three hours' time and the case should go to the Jury this afternoon.

DAINTY MISSIVES BRING SADNESS TO LOVER'S HEART Dejected Specimen of Humanity Reads Letters from Cruel Miss and Softly Murmurs "Stung!" He was an abbreviated specimen of humanity, and as he shrunk his head down into his coat collar he appeared even smaller. With his hands deep In his overcoat pockets he appeared dlsconsolation personified, and gazed sadly at the three letters, all addressed in neat feminine writing, and now and then glanced sadly at the retreating form of the niai; carrier. Then he sank fo the rustic teat on the verandah of the fashionable boarding house. One of the letters he held had evi dently just come from the mall, while the remaining two had been carried about In the young man's pockets some t'me. The young m»n sighed, turned his gaze to the letters, sighed again, then opened the most worn letter and read Ir. "Dear Boy: How strange is life. Just think, a week ago I had never met you, and it is improbable I would ever have done so had I not come west on the 'rain I did. Then both of us would have been the losers, wouldn't we? Tour present to me arrived today, and I think It is just too beautiful for any thing. \n alligator music roll is some thing. I have wanted for so long, and you showed the most excellent taste. Isn't It ctrangt that a chance acquaint ance on a train should ripen into —what ohall I call a—affection? Now boy. you are soon going back to your work <igain, but you will not forget mo, will you? I take a great interest In you. and I want you to write me often. I t>m goirg to write you a long letter soon. Again thanks for the music roll. At ever May belle." SP *TG Slowly the young man replaced the letter in his i ocket. A slight sugges tion of a smilt played over his face as he ope.iod the second one, and read: ■My L'l'ar Boy: How considerate you always, aren't you? Always think ing up some wa> to please others. You have such a beautiful nature. How did you know ; liked roses? I shall have a good vlme at the party tonight—be cause you want me to. And I will dance ev< ry dance with you—ln imag ination Now please think of me, as I ahall th nk of you, and don't work too l:ard at that old desk. "The postmaii has Just been here, and what >1j you think he brought? Why, h bunch of music from dear old you. O how can 1 thank you? lam going to learn t^em all. especially '1 Love But You,' for your own self, as ever yours, Maybelle." The faint emile faded as the young man drew th« third letter from his pocket and slowly unfolded it: "Mr Raymond: Sir—Tour letter and proposal came as a complete surprise. How you could ever have conceived the Hea thtt I could some day love you Is beyond me. I cannot understand It. 7ou know. Mi". Raymond, - never gave you the slightest encouragement. I V.aye never even hinted I could some day care fcr ycu. "The truth is, I am engaged to be married and will leave in a few weeks for Denver, where the wedding will take olace. "Now pleasn don't be foolish over this. Just lei u«> be friends and allow the matter to end at that. Yours truly, M. B." "Huh," grunted the young man, as h» euttonrd up hit coat and left the house. ' Twelve dollars for books. $10 for roues, nbout a thousand for candy. $7 for music dnd J.;. for an alligator music roll—no encouu gement—willing to be ;i friend —huh! Is it any wonder some men turn woiran haters? I'm a good easy thing, and I'm stung." Bank Declares Dividend - OAKLAND, Feb. 4. —J. P.

"I took the dog home and put him in my back yard," said Mr. gtubbs, "but he didn't seem pleased with his new home and as soon as I unchained him over the back fence he went, and the way I' chased after him reminded me of a person chasing a twenty-dollar bill In a wind storm. "I followed him for a mile and a half in the direction of Hedondo and then gave up in despair. This morning he returned home, still able to wag his tall and with a sort of playful look in his eyes, as much as to say, 'I Just wanted to see how a traveling agent looks when he's In a hurry.'"

And the mystery has not yet been solved. This beautiful street, which is known along the entire coast for its artistic lighting by night and handsome appear ance by day, wore. In one section at least, the appearance of "Main street" in "Back to Grigsby's Station." For near the corner of Second and Broad w ay last Sunday morning, as the rising bun performed his usual imitation of a municipal lighting plant, was to be seen a dilapidated three and one-halt wheeled vehicle, tottering towards the g rave —or rather, stalled on the verge of the tomb. This was a one-horse light built wagon (such as is used by the young Jehu of a butcher boy), with black body and "yaller 1- wheels. How it came there no one knew. Three or four morning papers were lying in the bot tom, adding another gloomy note to the Had spectacle. No one knew its history. There was no driver. No horse was hitched to it. No telltale broken bottle or even fleet ing scent of gasoline had remained to p.tve a "tip" to the anxious investi gator. All day Sunday it stood there. The officer on the beat. No. 164, said he didn't know how it came. Saturday it had not been there, he said; but when he came on Sunday noon the chariot reposed near the sidewalk in the quiet and seclusion of the gutter. The boulevardlers or Broadway, who stroll past the handsomely furnished windows of the department storeß, so brilliantly lit up at night, looked wonderingly at the vehicle of the three and a half wheels. A chap who hadn't been able to go out to Santa Anita chanced a bet with an other man as to how the wheel had been broken. It was badly fractured, while most of the spokes were sprained. The sickly lurch given by the broken wheel, which rested that particular hub on the glistening Jewels of the gutter cobbles, let the public look all the more closely Into the body of the vehicle. Everybody guessed—no one knew. More Mystery Then came Sunday night's rain. And the dreary vehicle seemed to be weep ing to itself as It shed the rain off Its ill painted back .md dished wheels. The police didn't know anything more about it. They realized with the public that this was no addition to the "city beau tiful," as boomed in the papers. They wanted to wait until the man came who owned the thing and when he'd try to "lift" it they'd "pnich" him. But he did not desire to be "pinched," evi dently. Monday repeated the same slory. People became greatly inter ested. Now and then a bustling auto mobile with women desirous of shop ping would be steered within a horse shoe's widtl- of this shattered relic of travel. The water wagon hurled minia ture bouquets of dew drops upon it. The street cleaning machine smoked by In disdain. Some pedestrians even ' swiped" the two days old papers from the body of the thing, leaving It bare and naked to the public gaze. "I don't know how it came to be there," remarked the floor walker on the first aisle of the big department store in front of which the wreck re posed. "We never saw it until Mon day morning when we came to -work. It looks like a country town. They should remove Lhe thing." Then Tuesday morning. Once more the sun came out and lit up the town bs though there never had been any "rainy spell." But the glistening orb missed Its old, faithful comrade who had waited for him through the unkind lain of Sunday night and all day stormy Monday. The wagon of the shattered wheel had departed, leaving not one fleck of axlo grease behind to tell of its history. Officer No. 164 didn't know how it had disappeared. "I was on Hill street when it was taken away," he said. "I'd been trying to catch the chap who owned it when he came for It." The "truly rural" aspect of Broadway of thirty years ago had departed, ani the street was of the appearance and E!ze of a thoroughfare in a growing me tropolis. Nothing but automobiles and trolleys and three hansom cabs for Broadway. The street still wears an unfamiliar look, however, since the conveyance of the Sherlock Holmes brand has silently departed, leaving no history or trace or clew behind. Even pn automobile would leave a stink. But the shattered wagon, limping along on a working majority of wheels, had sim ply faded out of sight— even as scrip will do some day.

JAPANESE SLAIN BY OLD ENEMY LODGING HOUSE OWNER KILLED IN HIS OWN HOME Is Called to Front Room to Discuss Business and Falls Before Five Bullets Which Pierce Body T. Okazakt, the proprietor of a Jap anese lodging house at 125 Vine street, wai shot three times and almost in stantly killed last night In -a Japanese restaurant at 211H North San Pedro street by a man alleged by the police and the wife of the dead man to be T. Ito, a gambler. Five shots in all were fired at the dead man, three of them taking effect and two speeding harmlessly into the wall of the room in which the men \v< lv sitting. The tragedy, It is said, occurred over the refusal of Okazaki, who was a prosperous and well-to-do man, to lend Ito money. Shortly after 5 o'clock Okazaki ap peared at the restaurant, which is run by K. Fugioka, and, as was his habit, went into the kitchen to talk to Fu gioka, who was his friend. The two, with Madam Fugioka, sat in the kitchen for more than two hours, when two strange Japanese entered the restau rant, and going into a little front room rang the bell for service. Madam Fugioka attended them and served them with drinks. She then re turned to the kitchen and resumed her conversation, and a short time after ward there was a second call from the front room. She again supplied the men with drinks and at the same time they asked that Okazaki be called into the room, as they wished to see him. Husband Joins Men She told Okazaki and he went to the front room and soon thereafter there was another call for drinks. When Madam J'ugioka went Into the room a fourth man, T. Ito, had joined the trio and she served drinks for the four men. When she went Into the room Okazaki was sitting at one side of the table with his back to the wall. Facing him was Ito and at the end of the table toward the front or street end of the room sat the two strangers. Five minutes after Madam Fugioka left the room there was a sound of five plHtol shots in rapid succession, and a moment later the two strangers came hurrying- Into the kitchen carrying the recumbent form of Okazaki between them. "He has been hurt," they both ex claimed. "We will go for a doctor," and dropping the wounded man on the floor both hurried from the place. In the meantime Ito had disappeared Immediately after the sound of the shots were heard. No doctor romlnK in a few minutes, the proprietor of the place telephoned to Dr. N. Fujormi, who came to the restaurant and rendered first aid to the wounded man, who had been shot through the neck, the breast and the side. He at once pronounced the wounds fatal'and aald there waa noth- SICK HEADACHE I > s—l PoittlTelr cored by A mTDO these kittle Fills. j LA SI I L I\U TUey also relleye Dls- V£lllkl%W treßS from Dyspepsia.

When the police, ambulance arrived on the scene the man was dying, but he was hurried to the rcccivinc hos pital In the hope that an operation might save his life. He died, however, as he was being lifted to the operating table. The police are looking for Ito to ar rest him for the murder. It is alleged the two men had trouble nearly a year ago, when Okazakl refused to loan Ito money. At that time Ito struck Okn zakl In the head with a club, knocking him senseless. Recently It Is said Ito has been tell ing a story that Okazaki owed him money which he refused to pay and is said to have made threats that he would kill him if he did not pay It. The wife of the dead man made ;i statement at the receiving hospital last night that her husband had refused Ito money several times, but that he did not owe him anything. On the con trary, she stated that Ito owed her hus band a considerable sum and It was his failure to pay this which had caused her husband to refuse him further loans.
