BROKER BROWN'S
POOL MYTHICAL
COMBINE WITH FINANCIERS
PROVES TO BE SHAM
"HURRY-UP HARRY" ON TRIAL
FOR EMBEZZLEMENT
Dr. Hammond Testifies She Gave the
Bucket Shop Proprietor $800 to
Buy Railroad Stock For Her
but Received No Shares
The story of a pool which probably
neVer reached the ears of Wall street's
financial kings, and if It did, apparent
lycreated no consternation, was told by
Dr Nettie D. Hammond in the crim
inal court of Judge Davis yesterday in
the trial of Harry D. Brown, the 300
--pound broker, on a charge of embez
zling $800 from Dr. Hammond January
E, 1909. Twelve men to try this, the
first of several cases against Brown,
were selected by noon and the prosecu
tion made rapid progress during the
afternoon.
Dr. Hammond testified that she gave
Brown a check for the JSOO January 5,
Instructing him to purchase Missouri
Pacific stock. The certificates were to
be delivered within thirty days, she
eald, but up to the present time they
have not been produced.
It was suggested by Brown, said Dr.
Hammond, that the transaction be
made through him with the firm of
Logan & Bryan, as a larger number of
chares could be purchased for the mon
ey ln this way.
"I agreed to this," said the witness,
"because he told me he, with Logan &
Bryan, had joined five or six million
aires in forming a pool for the purchase
of Missouri Pacific stock, and that the
Btock, which was then quoted at 69,
■would go to 100 within a few weeks."
I A month later, when the certificates
■were not forthcoming. Dr. Hammond
said she wanted to close out the stock,
but testified she was told by Brown
that such a course would be foolish, as
there already had been an advance of
$8 a share.
"When I became persistent in my de
mands for a settlement," she said, "he
told me he was having trouble with
the Japanese, and that Logan & Bryan
had become, jealous of him and refused
to sell th<_ stock."
Harry L. Winters, assistant manager
tor Logan & Bryan, in charge of that
concern's Los Angeles branch, said
Brown placed no money with the firm
ill Janury, last year, and no stock had
Jjeen purchased for Dr. Hammond.
The trial will be resumed today.

the conditions of the work of the

other countries.
William Shaw, speaking from the
standpoint of the layman, said:
"There Is much for young men and
women to do in Christian Endeavor
work. We have not had much use for
the girls who play cards and dance
■until 3 o'clock in the morning, but we
have places for girls who have time
to work for the upbuilding of the good
cause of the Christian Endeavor union.
"Time was when preachers seemed
to Ignore the present auxiliary work
of the churches. But it is now ac
knowledged that such helps as the
Christian Endeavor union are meeting
the requirements necessary for the
great achievements attained."
The Los Angeles Christian Endeavor
union will hold a rally and mass
meeting this evening in the First Con
gregational church, at which Mr. Shaw
■will be the principal speaker. Dr.
Clarke left last night for the north.

Government Should Learn
Causes for Accidents '

why a national bureau of mines

ment on the part of all of the vic
tims. The men were riding in a gas
oline motor car, hardly big enough to

relighting of one fuse that missed Are
out of a previous round of shots, the
party waited twenty minutes. Con

motor to carry it around dump cars,
when the explosion occurred.
All or a portion of the heads of five
were blown off. Coleman lost half of
his right arm and right foot. Griffin
and Joyce were still more terribly
mangled. Some could be identified
only by jewelry.
BLIND OKLAHOMA SENATOR
HAS TO BORROW CARFARE
Left Wallet In Trousers' Pocket at
Washington When He Answered
Hurry Call from Constituent*
ST. LOUIS, Feb. United States
Senator Gore of Oklahoma arrived in
St. Louis last night in a state of great
financial embarrassment. In fact, he
was compelled to borrow money of a
stranger on the train to pay his fare
from Washington to St. Louis.
His predicament came about, he ad
mitted to friends who heard his ap
peal for a loan in thl.. city, because
he boasts two pairs of pants. One he
had on; the other, with his wallet in
the hip pocket, occupies the post of
honor in the senator's boudoir at the
capital.
Summoned to Oklahoma by an ur
gent message Saturday night, he has
tily donned the trousers in which he
likes to appear before his constitu
ents and hurried to the train. When
the conductor came along he found no
wallet, and but for a kindly stranger
the senator would have been com
pelled to walk.
Former Governor Francis and other
Democrats came to his rescue when
he arrived here, and ho was able to
continue his journey later in the
evening.

MAY GAIN CHARGE
OF THREE BABES
WOMAN WITH FALSE "QUADS"
IN COURT
Little Ones Restored to Her Care, and
Formal Court Motion Will
Be Made in Few '
Days
Mrs. W. W. Wilson, who created a
sensation a fortnight ago by repre
senting that she was the mother of
quadruplets, and a greater sensation
a few days later when it was learned
the children were gathered through
Mrs. Catherine Smith from different
parts of the city, was again in Judge
Wilbur's court yesterday to light for
the custody of two little girls and a
boy, who have been in her home since
they were infants. Her possession of
the children was threatened by the
humane society, officers of which had
filed a petition that they be removed
from her home on the ground that she
was an unfit person to care for them
Judge Wilbur, after listening to the
stories of a number of neighbors, who
detailed what they observed during
frequent calls at the Wilson home on
East Forty-ninth street, and the tes
timony of Mrs. Wilson and the little
girls, ordered the children placed in
Mrs. Wilson's care as dependents. This
action was deemed necessary, as the
parentage of the children could not
be established. ,
Mrs. Wilson's attorney, John' Beards
ley, filed a petition yesterday askiog
the superior court to grant her request
to legally adopt the children, and
hearing on this petition will be had in
a few days.
"I see no reason why Mrs. Wilson
should not be permitted to adopt the
children." Judge Wilbur said, as he
closed the proceedings.
Mrs. Wilson told the court the chil
dren were given to her in Chicago and
that she knew nothing about their
parentage. "I love them more than
my life," she said, and the children,
clinging around her and at times halt
ing her-speech with kisses, apparently
reciprocated her feeling.
Several women testified that Mrs.
Wilson was harsh in her treatment of
the children, one neljhbor stating she
slapped their faces; another that' she
saw "dirt In their ear:." while a third
said she heard Mrs. Wilson call them
"rascals." _,_,..
The grand jury resumed its investi
gation yesterday into the facts brought
out as a result of the Wilson disclos

TO AMEND ORDINANCE
An amendment to the billiard hall
ordinance that will permit the police
commission to suspend a permit for
mild offenses will be asked of the coun
cil by the commission. The need for
such a power was felt last night when
Henry Berry was on trial on a charge
of permitting minors In his pool room
at 842 East Fifth street. While the
evidence showed that minors had been
in the place the case was not flagrant.
The commission did not want to re
voke Berry's permit, so the case was
continued for four weeks to give the
council time to amend the ordinance.

25 year 3of age, is being searched for
by Sheriff Hammei and his deputies
as the man who shot and killed the
ranchman, William Moss, near 'Piu

to be a full confession of the affair to
Sheriff Hammei and Deputy Sheriff
Martin Agulrre, stating he and his
brother had been in the winery with
Moss and that they had taken excep
tion to some remark made by the
rancher with reference to their race.
Moss left the winery some time after
the two men, and they attacked him.
Lee Manriques saying he struck the
rancher on the back with a bottle.
"My brother pulled his revolver and
I told him not to shoot, but he fired
a bullet through Moss' heart," said
the prisoner.
Efforts ( were being made to find
the missing man were redoubled after
the confession and messages were
sent out to watch all roads over which
he might travel.
