Tho case has figured in litigation pre viously, having been compromised and latrr transferred to the federal courts. The case involves 7000 acres of the finest orange land In Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and is known as Victoria and Arlington Heights, valued nt $2,r>00,000. Technicalities, legal and otherwise, in which the Riverside Trust company, G. Howard Thompson, the Bank of California, Thomas Henry Goodwin Newton, Wilson Crewdson, Edwin Wa terhouse, Richard Lake Harrison, Wil liam Howard Winterbotham and tho Water-house company, the plaintiff al leges, figured, are responsible for the loss of his Interest in the lands. The land was originally owned by Gage, also owner of the Gage system of canals, and he claims he turned the entire property over to the Riverside Trust company, which company Is in corporated under the laws of Great Britain and Ireland and promoted by I Wilson Crewdson. Gage stated his con sideration was £168,000 cash, 1000 shares Of preferred stock and ,08,000 to be paid out of surplus profits. Gage alleges the company did not carry out its agreement to Improve the land, and he instituted suit, which was later compromised. The compromise was that the surplus profits should be distributed yearly to the holders of pre ferred stock. Gage alleges the company made prof its Which they concealed. This action, plaintiff alleges, caused him to lose his Interest valued at $2,000,000. He stated j he pledged 1400 shares of stock to G. Howard Thompson, as trustee, to se cure a note of $160,000, which he bor rowed from the Bank of California. Also that he borrowed $130,000 from Thomas Henry Godwin Newton of Kng land as a pledge of 1000 shares of stock and a mortgage. Because he failed to receive dividends from the stock, Gage says he was un able to meet his obligations, and that the Bank of California made a ficti tious sale of stock to Mr. Thompson, and the 1000 shares In England were lost by foreclosure sale.

LOS ANGELES HERALD HOTEL MAN TO IDENTIFY TAYLOR PROPRIETOR OF HAYWARD GOES TO BAY CITY BELIEVED MAN IS CONNECTED I WITH CLEVER GANG Bonifaces' Protective Association Will Prosecute Unrelentingly Suspect If He Proves to Bs Man Wanted for Swindling I That tlie Southern California Hotel t Men's association of Los Angeles will | pro.secute vigorously the case against George W. Taylor, who is under arrest in Sun Francisco, charged with passing a forged draft on the Hotel Hayward, was the assertion of John S. Mitchell, president of the association, yesterday afternoon. That there might be no mistake in the identity of the man arrested in San | Francisco, Harry C. Fryman, proprie tor of the Hayward, left Los Angeles last night for San Francisco to com plete the identification of Taylor. There has been some confusion in the name of Taylor and the association does not intend to have the wrong man palmed off on the officers. Detective Thomas H. Zeigler, who left for San Francisco Wednesday night to bring back Taylor, has been notified to await the arrival of Mr. Fryman. Chief of Police Dishman and President Mitchell are co-operating in the case. To Insure Identification In speaking of the matter President Mitchell said, "There Is no doubt that an organized gang of the cleverest forgers and hotel crooks that have ever infested the country are now at work. In the arrest of Taylor I believe one of the gang has been caught. We will not take any chances, however, but make positive assurance of the identity of Taylor, and that la the reason of Mr. Fryman's trip to the bay city. The association has ample funds to back the prosecution and will not be satis lied until the gang is broken up and the members placed behind the bars. There will be no compromise In the matter. No matter what the standing of the guilty party is our association was formed for hotel men's protection and protection of our guests." Owing to the fact that Mr. Fryman has gone to San Francisco it is ex pected Detective Zeigler will not be back in Los Angeles with his prisoner before Saturday. In the meantime Chief Dishman is making every effort to locate H. M. Stanley, who registered at the Hay ward with Taylor and disappeared at the same time. LOST GIRL FOUND IN DRY RIVER BED PATROLMAN DISCOVERS CHILD PLAYING WITH GO-CART Postman Gives Information Resulting in Return of Wanderer to Parents After Two Days' Disap pearance Ida O'Nell, the 9-year-old daughter of Mrs. Flora O'Nell, who disappeared from her home, 848 East Twenty-third street, Tuesday morning, was found yesterday afternoon playing with a baby carriage in the river bed near Ninth street. , Detectives who had been informed of the disappearance of the girl while on her way to school searched yesterday and learned that she had been spoken to by a mail carrier at Ninth street and Maple avenue. Tho mail man asked the girl if she was lost. She replied that she was, but knew the way home and would go straight home. When found by Patrolman Dowd the child seemed alarmed, and when asked where she obtained the baby carriage with which she was playing replied that It was standing outside a house near her home. When brought to police headquarters the child refused to answer questions. In reply to the query as to where she had been since Tuesday, she replied that she had been playing near the river bed all the time. The case was turned over to Hu mane Officer Reynolds, who found that the girl had run away from home on several occasions. She said she wished to go home, but fen red her mother would whip her. Officer Reynolds de cided to return'the child to her mother, and will look into the case further. It is not thought that anyone enticed the child away from home, Inasmuch as ■he has a habit of wandering off and her disappearances have been reported to police headquarters at different times.

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 1900. TAKE ELLIOTT TO SCENE OF CRIME SHERIFF BELIEVES YOUTH IN NOCENT OF MURDER THINKS MEXICAN SLAYER OF ANNA POLTERA Every Effort Made to Find Man Who j Discarded Bloody Shirt Found Wednesday—Teamster Furnishes Clew The murder of 9-year-old Anna PoW tera is apparently no nearer solution this morning than on the morning when the cruelly mistrated body of the child was found hidden behind a clump of bushes near the entrance to Griffith park. It is true many clews have been run down, many suspects have been cleared of suspicion, and several clews are still under Investigation, but the strenuous efforts of scores of detectives and at taches of the sheriff's office—efforts such as never before have been made to solve a murder mystery—have as yet failed to disentangle the mystery that overshadows the crime and criminal. Yesterday Ben T. Elliott, the 18-year old self-confessed burglar, whose whereabouts had been eagerly sought in order to clear up one of the suspi cions, was put through the fourth de gree. The net result of the day's work with Elliott was to convince the skeptical that the youth has no near knowledge of the murder. In order to dispel what on paper looked like a mass of accumu lative evidence, young Elliott, hand cuffed to Deputy Sheriff Harry Wright, accompanied by Sheriff Hammel and Coroner Hartwell, was taken to the scene of the murder. Elliott Taken to Scene Elliott during the test never showed the least emotion, and with apparent unconcern, although with evident eager ness to convince the officers that he was telling the truth, went over the ground he said he traveled before leav ing for Redondo. He pointed out the place of his camp, but was unable to find a shirt which he said he had dis carded some time before his arrest. The officers did not regard this fact as of great importance, for with great force of assertion Elliott said the blood stained shirt Which was found by the river bed Wednesday afternoon did not belong to him. This declaration was made more forceful when the party visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Bennett at Troplco, where Elliott made his home until two months ago. The Bennetts were shown the blood stained shirt, and declared positively Elliott had never worn such a shirt. To ma'.;e the dec laration still more forceful, an employe of the Bennett house, who was familiar with Elliott and his clot*'-- added her statement that never had she seen such a shirt in the possession of the youth. She had washed the boy's clothing, and her slatement was regarded as com plete vindication of the Elliott shirt theory. Elliott Believed Innocent Elliott pointed out to the officers every step he made when he left his camp on the Tuesday morning follow ing the murder, and at the conclusion of the test Sheriff Hammel reiterated his belief in the innocenco of the young man. It was to satisfy the public and if possible to eliminate Elliott from the case that yesterday's move was made. That all suspicion has been removed from the boy burglar is not true, for there are .several circumstances that will be investigated before all are sat isfied that Elliott or a comrade of El liott has no knowledge of the crime. The case has now apparently been boiled down to the one fact—find the owner of the bloody shirt and the mur derer of Anna Poltera will be found. Yesterday, as has been the case every day stneo the growsome discovery was j made, several plausible stories were brought to the sheriff's office. Z. Rosa, ;. teamster who in his work travels along the road to the aqueduct and carries supplies to various camps in | the vicinity of San Prancisqulto can yon, reported to the sheriff that he had seen a person answering the descrip tion of Elliott on the San Fernando road two days after the murder. Search for Mexican Rosa said the youth appeared nerv ous, and asked in regard to chances of obtaining- work on the aqueduct. Rosa said he advised the youth not to go there, and after hanging about for over an hour the young man disappeared. Rosa was given an opportunity of seeing Elliott in the county Jail, but did not identify him as the young man Who had accosted him. Sheriff Hammel has become con vinced that the crime was committed by a Mexican, anil strenuous efforts are being made in the outlying districts to find the Mexican who was seen near the scene of the crime on the afternoon that it was committed. A Mexican, the only namo by which he is known being Felipe, and who is said to answer the description of the much wanted Mexican, who was em ployed near the Loa Fella school, which Anna Poltera attended. Is mining. It is laid the Mexican was employed at the Mt. Olive nursery, and has money due him at that place for which he was supposed to call Wednesday. He did not appear, nor has he been seen since Josp Valdez. who has been confined in the county jail as n suspect in the case, was released yesterday afternoon, the officers having become convinced that he was not connected with the crime. CHIEF DISHMAN TO GO TO WASHINGTON TO SEE TAFT Chief of Police Dishman on his trip east to attend the annual meeting of the Association of Police Chiefs of America, which will be held at Buffalo, JN.

EXAMINE WITNESSES IN BRAUNING INSANITY CASE After hearing testimony for two hours yesterday in the trial of G. J. Braun ing, charged with insanity. Judge Wil bur excused the jury and the case was continued to June 1. Two witnesses were examined, a pri vate detective, Gar Johnson, who for several weeks watched Brauning's movements, and Mrs. Delia L. Whipple, mother of Mrs. Marion W. Garretson, the woman who, it was claimed by Brauning during his examination by the lunacy commission two weeks ago, had exercised an influence over his ac tions. Detective Johnson said his observa tions of Brauning led him to believe the man was irrational. "Brauning came to my home several times," said Mrs. Whipple. "I believe he was suffering from what I would term constriction of the brain. He would put his hands to his heaa as If to keep it from bursting. He begged me to write to my daughter at Berke ley and ask her to withdraw her influ ence over his acts, an influence, he said, that resulted in all his business plans being spoiled." Taft Wins Sauerkraut SANDUSKY, Ohio, May 27.—Presi dent Taft holds the ticket that drew a barrel of sauerkraut, worth $3, at the Elks' fair here last night. It was presented to him by William H. Heln hart, president of the Perry Victory and International Centennial Peace commission, who was In Washington recently. ELKS TO ENTERTAIN ORPHANAGE CHILDREN YOUNGSTERS WILL SEE GREAT FIREWORKS DISPLAY Hosts Wilt Provide Candy and Other Refreshments for Three Hundred and Fifty Juveniles at Fiesta Park Three hundred and fifty children who are living in the orphans' homes of Los Angeles are to be the guests of the Elks tonight at Fiesta park to witness the wonderful pyrotechnical exhibition, portraying the eruption of Vesuvius and the grand fireworks display. Arrangements have been completed for this treat for the children and a special section of the grandstand has been reserved for the little guests. A thoughtful Elk originated the idea, which met with hearty response, and the tickets for the admission of the children were procured from contri butions of Elks, so that it will not de tract from the fund that is being raised during the week's show at Fiesta park. In addition to seeing the display a fund has been raised to provide candies and other refreshments and the enter tainment for the orphans will be given in a manner that has always made the Elks noted for hospitality. Program Changed Nightly Pain's fireworks at Fiesta park should have greater patronage from the Los Angeles public than has been shown this week. The show is an ex cellent one fn every respect; the spe cialties are strong and the fireworks very attractive indeed. The program is changed nightly and for Friday night a flre portrait of Gov ernor Gillett will be a feature, also Pain's American Beauty rose with transformation while burning, numer ous comicalities for the children and grownups, including Jumbo, the fire works elephant, who will march across the stage with amusing manipulations of tail and trunk; Jocko, the monkey, in laughable stunts on the turning bar; magic fan with transformations, swarms of fireflies and shooting stars, Pain's spider and web bombs.

Section OFFICERS WILL KEEP BEGGARS RESTRICTED CHIEF PREPARES RULES FOR ELKS' CELEBRATION Regulations Are Necessary for Order and Not Intended to Cause Hardship on the Needy Chief of Police Dishman is going to do his part to have Los Angeles In its Quest condition when the Elks arrivu in July. To this effect he has issued an order prohibiting beggars, mendicants, fakers and hucksters of all kinds from doing business in the congested busi ness districts. The object of the order is not to de prive poor and needy persons from eking out a livelihood, but in view of the fact that the visit of the Elks will bring record-breaking crowds to Los Angeles it was decided to start at once on the cleaning up process. To this effect boundary lines have been established and no mendicants or fa kera can enter the prohibited district. The boundary is from Seventh street north to Temple and from Main street to Hill street. The order also includes West Seventh street as far west as the postoffice, all depots and publiu .stations and public buildings. By enforcing the law at this time it will give the persons who have stations in the prohibited district a chance to Kick new locations before the big Elk celebration. One far-seeing purpose of. the order is that it will prevent a horde of beggars and fakers taking advan tage of the crowds that will visit Los Angeles and ply their craft during the week of celebration. It is assured that Los Angeles will be swamped by all sorts of fakers, and the precaution of Chief Dishman of keeping them out of the congested dis trict will have a wholesome effect and one that will be appreciated by those who dislike to be annoyed. It will :ils.> make a good impression on visitors to Los Angeles, who will realize that beg ging is not essential to a living in Los Angeles.
