CLAIMS FRAUD
WAS PRACTICED
PROMINENT REALTY BROKER
CHARGED BY WOMAN
Accusation Made That Lots Traded
for Slot Machines Exceeded
False Value Placed on
Them by Agent
Charging that E. A. McDonald, a %yell
known young real estate broker of Los
Angeles, with offices in the Bradbury
building, had defrauded her of $16uO
worth of real estate and that he was
aided later in the transaction by his
father, A. B. McDonald, 27M West
Eighth street, by means of a mortgage
dated before the property had passed
into their hands, .Mrs. Ida C. Parlc,
IT'jo Maple avenue, appealed to Deputy
District Attorney McCormiek yester
day afternoon and as a result a com
plaint probably will be tiled today.
Mrs. Parle claims that several weeks
ago she was induced by McDonald to
trade him tour lots she owned in West
minster Square, the value of which
was $1600, for eight "penny in the slot 1'
perfume machines that he told her
were worth a like amount. "Having
always trusted him," said Mrs. Parle,
"I deeded the lots to him and in ex
change received the eight machines,
which I later found were only valued
at J2OO. These machines were owned
by George V>. Waasan, who had his
place of business In with McDonald,
but who knew nothing of the transac
tion in regard to me.
"McDonald," continued Mrs. Parle,
"I later found out, purchased the ma
chines from Wassan for $200 and sold
them to me outright for $1600, telling
me that they were worth that much,
that Wassan would onl\ sell them for
that amount and that the average in
come from one of the machines was
Bix dollar." n day. Although I endeav
ored to make an appointment with
"Wassan through McDonald, when I
appeared at the office Wassan was
never there and I was always met by
an apology from McDonald. I now
know the reason he did not care to
have us meet.
Asks for Property
"After I had traded my four lots for
the machines," said Mrs. Parle, "I con
fided to my intimate friends, who at
once became suspKiou> and urged me
to look further Into the deal, with the
result I found that McDonald had
grossly misrepresented their value. T
begged him to return my property but
li~ would not hear of it. I heard he
was negotiating a loan on this prop
erty, representing its value at three
times its real worth and getting a
large loan on it. I spoiled this deal
for him in another endeavor to get
him to return my lots and at this he
and his. father called on me and grew

NASHVILLE WAKING UP
NASHVILLE, Term., Jan. 21.—1t is
understood the question of a boycott on
all meats will come before a meeting
of the Neahville labor council next
Sunday.
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MOHXLVa, JANUARY 22, 1010,
LOVING CUP IS
GIVEN PAULHAN
CIVIC BODY RECOGNIZES WORK
OF MAN-BIRD
At Chamber of Commerce Reception
French Aviator and Fellows Praise
Climate of Southern Cali
fornia
The Los Angeles chamber of com
merce presented Francis Louis Paul
han, the French aviator, with a mag
nificent silver loving cup last evening
as a special trophy for the latter's
cross-country flying. The cup stood
iv Inches high with a bowl in the
shape of a bell and graceful handles on
either side. Engraved on the side was:
"Presented to Francis Louis Paulhan
by the Los Angeles chamber of com*
merce for long distance cross-country
flight, Los Angeles, January IS, 1910, at
i:■■■! aviation meet held in America,
January 10 to 20, 1910."
The presentation speech was made by
■\Yillis H. Booth, president of the or
ganization. He thanked M. Paulhan
tor honoring the city and the chamber
of commerce by his presence here anil
expressed the hope that the cup would
always remind its owner of his per
formances in Southern California.
M. Paulhan, through his Interpreter,
thanked the president and the organi
zation for their kindness and generos
ity in giving him the trophy, and said:
"I shall take the cup home and look
upon it as marking the first step in my
introduction of aviation to the Ameri
can people."
The French man-bird, accompanied
by his wife and M. and Mme. Rennen
j dref, were served punch and wafers
and later taken through the chamber's
exhibit rooms. Besides President Booth,
Cortland F. Bishop, Dick Ferris and
the directors of the chamber of com
merce were present.
ilhan and his party leave this
morning for San Francisco, where the
daring Frenchman will make (lights
Sunday. His machines. in their private
cars and accompanied by his corps of
machinists, left for the north last even-
Ing and will be set up and in readiness
by the time the aviator arrives.
Paulhan in Good Shape
From San Francisco Paulhan will
probably go to Salt Lake. City and
from there on to Denver, making flights
in each of these cities. The rumor to
the effect that he is a nervous wreck
and in no condition to make flights for
some time is branded as absolutely
false by friends of the aviator, who say
that he never was better physically in
his life.
Dick Ferris said in regard to this
charge last evening: "Paulhan Is not
a nervous wreck. He has been running
around Southern California seeing the
sights and enjoying himself like a
little child. Whoever said he was In a
bad way with his nerves did not know
what he was talking about."
Glenn H. Curtiss, the American avia
tor, is as yet undecided what he will
do. He has two possible engagements
for performances—one in San Fran-
Cisco and the other In Phoenix, Ariz.
He will leave Los Angeles this even-
Ing, but he is undecided where he
Will go.
C. K. Hamilton left yesterday even-
Ing for San Diego, where he will at
tempt to break the world's altitude
record Sunday. Hamilton will fly in
a Curtiss biplane with the same engine
which was used to break the world's
altitude record at Rhelmi,
Knabenshue and Beachy are nego
tiating with Edwin Clearv with a view
to traveling with the Paulhan aviators.
In case arrangements can be made
these two dirigible balloon men will
join Paulhan In San Francisco and
travel across the country, giving ex
hibitions with him.
Clifford B. Harmon will leave this
morning for San Francisco with his
balloon New York, where he also will
glvp exhibitions., ,
All the aviators were warm In their
I'raise of Southern California as an
aviation center. They seemed, how
ever, to be afraid that the public
did not realize how great the
meet had been. Byron K. Norton.
aeronautic editor of the New York
Herald, said last evening: "This
meet was by far the greatest that has
ever been held. Nothing before has
anywhere near equaled It. Some of the
records made here during the past
ten days even the most optimistic of
the aviatom did not hope to see ac
complished for years to come."
Edwin Cleary. general manager of
the Paulhan forces, also had something
to say in regard to the magnitude of
the meet.

he remarked just before leaving for

the world to the fact that Southern
