Thrasher made a full report to | the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, | and an attempt was made to charge the two brokers with embezzlement; but the department thought the evidence insuf- | ficlent. The specific charges against Youngberg were that under the dummy name of Atken he drew down $2000 a year from the Government for nearly two half rs. Barham, Thrasher vi aware of Welburn's em aided him in making up fals and which he knew to be account: When gent Thra r was transferred from this division he was ordered to re- port to Washington. After a long confer- ence with the Commissioners in which all | evidence reques of ev was gone over the ugent wa ed to make a full written minute detail of the e w=as doie, and after being cor the head of the department for month the orders suspe and qualifying sued. It is asserted by friends of Guy B. Bar- ham, who is a son of K. M. and brother over ding the gaugers | the brokers were is- a of Alpert D. Barham, that the charges and allegations made by Thrasher against father and son are not only false but and Thrasher's motive is re- 'uy Barham vho is an inter- broker, and he has the larg- malicio est business of the kind in Southern Cali fornia. When seen this evening Guy | Barham made the followlng statement to | tative: Thrasher swore eternal upon me fome.months 0 be- cause I was the friend of O. M. Welburn, -Collector, in the days of his prosperity: When trouble came upon him I did not desert him. On_the other hand, I put forth my_ best_efforts to support him. i went to San Francisco, secured his bond and saved him from going to jail. In my humble way I saw to it_that he was enabled to make a defense of the charge: made agalnst him and gave him a h ing hand in every way I could. When he was acquitted Thrasher was very mucn aggrieved and claimed I was responsible for' his failure to secure conviction. He publicly stated that I would rue the day that I put forth a hand to ald my friend upon whom disgra d misfortune had fallen. But Thri could do me no injury, so he picked out my father and brother as his victims, h riking me ov sccured th, their shoulde He suspension, but a gross outrage has been perpetrated. It will be rdctified if 1t | takes every dollar I have in the world ana every effort I can put forth as long as there is breath in my body. “My father has lived in California forty-nine vears, and in all that time there has never been the slightest breath of suspicion against him. He has been in the public service for twenty years and nothing has ever been said to his dis- credit. “Yet, now in his declining years this man Thrasher comes forward with alle- gations which are utterly without foun- dation and basely false. “As to my brother, it s true that he has the misfortune to be a crinple as to his right hand. Save that, he is in every way sound in body and mind, and his ac counts, I have been lold, are the best kept of any in the district. ““Through Thrasher’s influence my busi- ness as a broker is being impeded and delayed. In this way he is trying to ruin me, but he will not succeed. We will have our day in court, anu this is all we want. The defense of my father and brother has already been forwarded to_Washington, but I cannot disclose it."" From another source it is learned that every allegation contained in Thrasher's statement to Commissioner Scott about Barfam has been disproved by affidavits of a party who, of his own knowledge, has stated facts which show Thrasher’s report Is not true. The affidavits are about twenty-five in number. R. M. Bar- ham has resided in Los Angeles for about 3 He has always been a re- spected citizen, and the inteclligence that he has been suspended from the Govern- ment service for makin fraudulent charges to the amount of 323 in five years will be a surprize to the Special Agent Thomas of the internal revenue service declined to talk about the Barham matter. Tt is very probable that unless Commis- sioner Scott acts an endeavor will be made to secure Congressional investiga- tion of Thrasher's action in this matter. Internal Revenue Collector John C. Lynch left Los Angeles for San Francisco Jast night with a full understanding of Mr. Barham’s position in the matter. Cardinal Steinhuber, prefect of the Congregation of the Index, has under- taken to revise the condemnations of books decreed In the last 300 years. —————————— Advances made on furniture and planos, with or without removal.

They were not kept long in suspense, however. “Men,” began the captain in that Chilkoot Pass voice of his that rang through the assembly room like a frapped blast on a fog horn. “Men, vou have all heard about the fife and drum corps we are organizing for our beloved Chief! Well, it goes. Here, now, none of your hilarity; I'll break the first man that smile As T was aying, it'’s all ready for business, that the drum corps is. We're a few shy on fifers vet, but we've got six- teen drummers in the three up-town divisions, and they will begin practice when they report off duty at mid- night. We've engaged Hallelujah Pete, the drummer of the Salvation Army band, as instructor and he will be on hand in the shooting gallerey in the basement. Of course, the men will be expected to pay him, but his terms are reasonable. “In my division we will have eight drummers to start with, and T expect to have as many fifers in a few weeks. Spillane and Gillen have four drum- mers apiece, though two of Spillane’s men—O'Connor and Naylor—can double up with the fife if necessary. I here- by detail Officers John J. McLaughlin, S. E.

Jackson, John R. O'Connor, T. C. Naylor and J. J. McEntee. Gillen has selected T. W. Marlowe, W. Kearney, Joseph Redmond and Eugene Herve as his musicians. You will all show them the proper amount of esteem. All will meet here to-night for practice; don't any of you fellows in my division try to work any sick baby excuses on me. Right forward, fours right; sergeant, take command,” and the captain watched his men file out into Larkin street. b w0 gt RS . At twenty-three minutes of 12 ves- terday morning, Sergeant Lindheimer was peacefully slumbering in the of- fice of the City Prison. The prison- ers, male and female, were doing like- Wise in their cells, while over in the Southern Station Michael Joseph Con- boy was taking his forty winks be- fore starting out om his rounds. There were some more tired policemen in other parts of the big building, for policemen are aiways tired. Down in the shooting gallery, un- der the McAllister street wing of the City Hall, sixteen husky patrolmen, stripped to the buff, were lined up be- fore an ex-sailorman clad in a red sweater and other habiliments of the . . * EVEN THF T1o MA Some of the six- teen had drums—drums large and small; others were festooned with large, vibrating dishpans, while Loyal ‘Webster and Joe Redmond had wash- boilers attached to their necks. All were armed with sticks. Hallelujah Pete had explained the process of beating “Mammy-Daddy,” and gave the signal to being the first lesson. There came a crash that rat- tled every brick in the big building, shattered windows for half a dozen blocks around, brought peaceful citi- zens onto the streets scantily attired Salvation Army.

He opened the door and the sound poured forth in huge volume: The lesson was a complete succes Every one of the sixteen was swinging his stick In unison, with as much ar- dor and in much the same manner as though he were clubbing a refractory drunk into submission, and all were blissfully unconscious of the riot they were creating on the streets. The lesson proceeded and the crowds continued to gather. Wittman went back to detail a squad to allay the fears of the populace, and started downstairs again to watch the pro- ceedings. As he did so, Radigan, the driver of the patrol wagon, dashed up and demanded to know what the trouble was. “Only the drum corps at work. Go back and finish your nap,” replied the captain. ‘“Are they golng to keep that up long?” queried the drive: “Only for an hour or so. “Well, I'll take the team and drive over to the North End station. If you want me, telephone. Blamed if I'm going to take chances on having my health shattered by that racket.” Wittman returned to the scene of the conflict, and fifteen minutes later, when Chief Lees came tearing down into the basement, the lesson had progressed so satisfactorily that the drummers were marching up and down the chamber beating *‘hay foot, straw foot,” with Wittman in the lead alrily twirling broom in lieu of a baton, while a smile that looked like a cross between a case of stom- ach ache and a ham sandwich, beati- fier his countenan “What the d—'"" began the Chief, and then he stopped in astonishment. The procession also came to a halt, and Wittman hastened to explain that he had reached the conclusion that it was high time that the drum corps got down to work, and hoping to give his Chief a pleasant surprise he had ordered the men to begin practicing without further delay. hat's all right,” replied the Chief, “only we heard the racket down on Market street, and everybody sup- posed there was more trouble with the volunteers. Say, the boys are do- ing fine, ain’t they?” and the Chief surveyed the scene admiringly. “Oh, it's going to be great, Chief,” chatted the captain. *“Them fellows 00C000000000000000000000000000 WOULD HAVE BEEN WALKING AND THE OAKLANDER S SLEERINGH . drum major?

Now, Frosty, there’s no use feeling sore over this. You're only captain, while I am Chief, and, besides, I'll give you some more gold lace and let you ride a horse if you can—I mean, if you wish. Now, that's fair, and I don’t know but you are getting the best of it, for you will ride and wear a sword, while I must— say, Frosty, do all drum majors walk? Didn’t you ever hear of a mounted ‘Well, why couldn’t I introduce the fashion? Now, here's an idea. I can ride a horse just the same and wear that sword the boys are going to buy for me, too. That will be hung on my left side, and I can swing my drum major’s baton in my right hand. Say, Frosty, ain’t that great? and a bearskin shako; I'll have to get the Commissioners to provide for that in my regulation uniform, and that gold belt slung across the shoulders drum majors wear—baldrie, 1 think they call it, and Frosty,” here the Chief’s eyes sparkled with delight, *1 guess may be I can wear two pairs of eqaulettes on my new uniform—one to designate my rank as Chief of Police and the other as drum major. Now, Frosty, all this will come to you after I retire and you become Chief, but at present you will have to occupy a gallery seat and give your uncle the whole dress circle. Besides, it would not do for you to throw the boys down by not wearing your sword after tax- ing them for it. Now, we'll start up the drums again and I'll just try my hand at leading them,” and the ven- erable Chief seized the broom and pranced off gayly at the head of the procession. It is announced from the office of the Chief of Police that rehearsals of the drum corps will be held daily (or nightly) hereafter, and already prop- erty within twelve blocks of the City Hall has depreciated 40 per cent. The Chief will soon address communica- tions to Governor Budd and General Miller asking them to get up a mili- tary parade as escort to the Stanford and Berkeley football teams on Thanksgiving day, at which he will promise to turn out the entire depart- ment, drum corps and all, to pilot the military and civic bodies. % parts of the land were taught there and returned to their homes to engage in the work, and in this way the growth of the | i eal of life but it reconciles man to the denomination has advanced after the o t“w‘::']flflsgg,‘:nf“"‘;’;; manner of geometrical progression.
