Mills and Herrin, and for a time rumors were in circulation thr about to purchase it in | Governor Gage. The fact was that no purchaser could be secured at the price asked by the representatives of the Southern’ Pacific for the newspaper plant, the interests of and the Harrimans chafed under the strain. A week or two ago, however, former | Police Commissioner Guy C. Bar- !ham, a prominent citizen and pol- itician of Los Angeles, quietly slipped into the city with a power of attorney in his pocket to represent os- tensibly a syndicate of Eastern and Southern capitalists but in fact the Scripps-McRae newspaper people in’ the purchase of the Post plant. Barham called upon Mills and Herrin and many ‘confnrences resulted, Offers were madc and rejected by both parties to the tran: | action, but finally an agreement was 1reached by which the transfer of the property will be finally consummated within the next week or two. It has developed that the only hitch to | the negotiations earlier was Herrin him- selt, Who sought to conclude a_bargain with Barham by which he was to have u string upon the paper. He insisted upon | certain conditions relative to the editorlal | policy of the Post, which Barham refused to agree to without first consulting with | bis associates in the deal. The wires were | hot with telegrams for a_time, the result being that the prospective owners de- clined absolutely. to enter upon an ar- rangement by which Herrin or the South- ] a syndicate was | Abbot of Unteason, who doth these revels rule. | 100k for emiles beneath cach grotésque bonnet, In fact, as King, I must insist upon it.

The jester sang a song and did a litlle ern Paclfic would in any manner what- soever control wholly or in part the pol- Sc)i of the new management of the jour- nal. Herrin reluctantly resigned himself to the inevitable and it is sald will be farced to consent to the unconditional sale of tice Post for $100,000 to Barham. The papers are now being drawn up and will be signed within a few days. The new management of the Post will inaugurate a complete change of policy. It is designed to make the paper indepen- dent in politics. No intimation is given as to the personnel of the incoming managers of the journal, although it is surmised that Barham will be a leading figure in the editorial and business departments. ‘When seen last night Barham declined to say just what position he would assume, if any at all, in the reorganization of the Journal. He denied emphatically a rumor that he was acting in the interest of Dan Burns in the purchase of the paper, ana said positively that Burns was not even aware that negotlations to that end werc in_progress. Barham is a shrewd business man, with some knowledge of the newsFaper busi- ness. He has thoroughly famillarized himself with the local conditions as per- taining to the Post, and under his man. agement the paper is likely to enjoy . prosperity it has not known for many years.

Smith's class, the drawing teacher in said | school, congregated on the street eutside of safd echool and hooted and yelled and threa- ened said Smith, who was obliged to remain in the school building until 6:30 p. m. of said day.

That subsequently thereto the windows of the school building have been broken by members of the school. That the personal attention of said Frank P.
