The defendants appeared in the Police Court yesterday and through r attorney, Joseph ( mpbell, asked for an immediate hearing. After some discussion between the court and counsel and the prosecuting witness, Judge Fritz set next Friday morning for the examina- tion. . application made by the attorneys for and Mr. Leake to have eliminary examination held here, ot in far-away San Pedro. Judge announced that he would put that over until hé could ex- amine into the complaint filed on Mon- day t. He said as the matter now : there is nothing before the court, with the exception of the new complaint, Following is a stenographic report of yesterday’s proceedings: Mr. Campbell—If your Honor please, the de- fendants that were arrested vesterday on & charge of libel present i court, and de- sire your Honor to fix a time for the hearing. 1 understand that there are some special counsel that are engaged in. the prosecution. While we desire they should be notifled and be given an - opportunity, if they desire, to appear, still we desire 4 speedy commence- ment of the case. We are witiing, your Honor, to fix some time when we will start with the examination, Mr. Boardman—As in the aking riday reckels of the far as I am concerned, if your Honor plcase, as-the prosecuting wit- ness in this matter, 1 am ready to proceed with the case at the convenience of the court and the convenilence of counsel on the other side. 1 agree with Mr. .Campbell, -that i much as there has been some proceeding heretofore in this case, and in which special prosecutors have appeared on behalf of the Governor, that some notice might be given to them, if they desire to be present when the preliminary examination commences, OFFERS TO NOTIFY MOORE. Mr. Campbell—I will say, as soon as your Honor fixes the time, I will notify Mr. Moore — Friday morning. Mr. Boardman—That is satisfactory to me, yeur Honor. The Court—Friday morning next. Mr, Hanley—I suggest—Of course Friday— .. ‘Mr. Campbell—(Interrupting.) Then, in the Teantime— Mr. Hanley—(Interrupting.) The calendars in the morning have been pretty heavy of jate. Your Honor might take some afternoon for this matter, because you know the work is very much congested in the morning. COURT SETS HEARING. The Court—I have every afternoon of this week engaged with the exception of Saturday afternoon. Mr, Clerk, will you look at the calendar for Friday afternoon? (The clerk did as requested.) The Court—I have a jury case at 2 o'clock. Myr. Campbell—I prefer to start on Friday morning, if your Honor please. The Court—Friday morning well. Mr. Campbell—At 10 o'clock, The Court—Friday morning next at 10 o’clock. There is a matter pending before the court, ‘an application—I do not See counsel present this morning. I will put that over— I will pass that matter until I can look into this complaint. This complaint filed yesterday is entirely new to me. I have not had an opportunity to look into it at all. I will let that other matter go over also with this mat- ter. As the matter stands now there is nothing next. Very true. I deemed it my duty to do so, and shall bring the matter to a conclusion.” SETS DAY FOR HEARING. San Pedro Justice Demands Presence of Spreckels and Leake. SAN PEDRO, June 24—Upon the de- mand of Johnson Jones, Deputy Assist- ant District Attorney of Los Angeles County, the following order was issued by Justice Henry C.

Boardman, who had the pro- prietor and the manager of The Call ar- rested for libel on the Governor of this State, s very much wroth over the state- ments made by certain newspapers that he is acting on the advice of Samuel M. Shertridge. “It is a faet,” said Mr. Boardman yes- day, “‘that my offices adjoin those of Mr. Shortridge, but I am not assoclated with him in the practice of law. Mr. Short- riage has been absent from the eity for the past two weeks, and could not and did not know of my intention to bring the present proceedings.

Black, the man with many allases, charged with making and passing fictitious checks, will be calied in Judge Conlan’s court this morning, and will probably be dismissed, as the checks have been honored. Black will not, how: ever, be released from custody, as a_draft for '$1100 which he deposited with_the Western National Bank on a New York bank has been returned as worthless. He will be held as a fugitive from justice, as he is wanted in Springfleld, Mass. An officer is expected from there within a few days with the necessary papers for his extradition. Captain Martin said yesterday: “There have been no new developments to-day. We have been expecting advices from the East, but none has ccme. We arg satis- fied that Black is a clever crimidal, and | street, opposite Mason. e hate to part with him. We will keep him as long as we can in the expectation that he will be taken back Kast for trial. His operations in Indianapolis and other Eastern cities were precisely the #ame as here. He did not expect to be caught so soon, but if we had walited he might have made his escape, as he did from other cities.” The Security Trust Company of Indian- apolis, which claims to have been victim- ized by Black in the sum of $500, tele- graphed {o its attorneys in this city last night offering to refrain from prosecuting the prisoner if he will make good the amount.

Jobbers Are Having Exciting Experiences All Along the Line. The wholesale dealers in linseed ofl, turs pentine and lead in this city are having the warmest time in all their trade perience. Every dealer is making an rate on these commodities on hlslcw count, all because the gentlemen’s ag ment among them to preser certain prices has been violated, and a ade wagd has been inaugurated which may cone tine a long time and.invol other artl« cles offered for sale in the same generaj lines. To-day a purchaser of ome barrel of linseed oil can secure_the oil as cheap< ly as if he bought 1000 barrels. The samgq open conditions obtain in relation to the market quotations for turpentine, lead and litharge. In all the downtown p: ing offices circulars are dally ‘in prepar tion containing individual announcements of the several firms engaged In the oil and lead business. These circulars arc greedily grabbed up by the retail tra the members of which are watching tha developments keenly and buying Whera they can make the most saving as com- pared with the former priges. In this the retailers are supposed to be making hay while the sun shines, al. though there are no wholesalers who can be found to hazard a prediction as ta whether the cutting of prices will con- tinue long or will suddenly cease. In the meantime the circulars are like war bul. letins to the trade. In the strife such large concerns as the Standard Oil Com- pany and the Pacific Linseed Oil and Lead Works are taking part. These two have been-supplying the jobbers with the goods to be distributed among the retail trade. On Friday of last week they re- ceived letters from the secretary of tha parties to the gentlemen's agreement which it was diplomatically announced that one unnamed party to the ag ment had seen fit to refuse to cont and therefore the rates could not be m: tained. B Up to that time and during a period of years the jobbers had been allowed a differential of 5 cents on linseed oil. The Standard Ofl Company and the Pac and Lead Works prepared at _shade off their price lists to meet the conditions. One day left only a l-cex differential. The Standard OIl Compa was the more aggressive and wiped out the entire differential in favor of the bing trade on Monday of the prese week and the other supply house imm diately followed suit. So it happened vesterday the retailer could buy fror Supply houses just as cheaply as could the jobbers and fur or oil flew along the entire line. 2 As indicating the genmeral conditio circular that was issued by Yates & and that was eagerly perused by trade, jobbing and retail alike, is inter esting.

There were but two conditions i 500 upward and the other o pounds. Parties who have new buildings or old ones to decorate will be able to save money by buying lead and oil while the war lasts, and this will cause the effects of the outbreak to be felt for some time. There are two explanations as to the or igin of the disagreement. One is tha outside oil was brought in.and was reptitiously sold at low rates to get the market. The other is that the goods reg- ularly proeured from the local supply houses ~ were _deliberately slaughtered. There is considerable heat under this seemingly - spontaneous combustion d hard names are not infrequent when the origin of the oil and lead war is cussed. less than dis- Found Wandering in the Sand Dunes.
