Thompson, 21 years of age, as one of the leaders of the tar-and-feather party which wrecked the I.W.W.

hall in the San Pedro district of Los Angeles Harbor more than a week ago was announced yesterday by Assistant Captain of Detectives Longuevan. The suspect, held at the Harbor Jail since Sunday night on a kidnaping charge, was Identified definitely by Thomas J. Sullivan, radical agitator, aa the leader of the mob which took him and Ave other Wobblies to Santa Ana Canyon and there subjected them to a tar-and-feather bath. Capt. Longuevan stated.

R. M. Blgelow, another Wobbly in the hall at the time it was raided by the mob, also identified Thompson, the officer declared. Just before he and his companions were tarred and feathered, Sullivan declared, Thompson jabbed a revolver into his side and robbed him of $70 which he said he would turn over to the Salvation Army. Then, Sullivan said, he was forced to disrobe and given the tar-and-feather treatment together with the five other Wobblies.

GRAND Jt-RY MAY ACT As a result of Thompson's Identification, Longeuvan said, the entire affair will be turned over for investigation and prosecution to the District Attorney's office.

It- also became known yesterday that the I.W.W. hall at Twelfth and Center streets, long the stamping ground of all Red elements in the community, is to be abandoned permanently with no other hall to take its place. The action of the Wobblies In abandoning this favored haunt, it was intimated, is due to the rough treatment accorded to Reds who have assembled there In the past several years. Capt. Hagenbaugh yesterday also announced the transfer of Patrolman Harry J.

Swindle, head of the Wobbly squad, to the day shift. The transfer was made, Capt. Hagenbaugh stated, as a precautionary measure to prevent Wobblies and other radicals from attacking members of the officers family. It was declared by Capt. Hagenbaugh that after the raid and wrecking of hall a number of radicals had appeared before him and demanded Patrolman Swindle's address.

Crall, whose name has been mentioned as a pos sible candidate for the Appellate Court In opposition to Justice Cur tis at the August primaries, announced yesterday that he will not run, preferring to await appointment. His statement follows: In the last year I have had requests running Into the hundreds, mostly from attorneys, that I consent to be a candidate for the Appellate Court bench at the ensuing election. Certain of my friends have offered to take full charge of the proposed campaign and to raise funds for the purpose far In excess of any sum which I would permit as seemly In a campaign for the bench. There are those who are pressing for and are entitled to an answer. On the Superior Court bench' of Los Angeles county, our choice both of work and of courtrooms comes by the rule of seniority of service.

In the flight of time I have become one of the senior Judges In point of service, although I am still one of the Junior judges In point of age. The work which falls to me Is Important and satisfactory. It Is a pleasure to preside over an Important trial court. The Ideal way first to become a member of the Appellate or Supreme Court benches of California is by appointment. By that method one does not displace a judge or justice who has given the best years of his life to conscientious toll in behalf of the people.

For my part, I am content to be patient and await my turn. If It ever shall be that my character and ability attract tne attention of the appointive power. If not, nhall be content In the knowledge that from day to day I am giving the best of service that lies wlth- Southern California has been nod to me, and always I am more fortunate than I deserve to be.
