LOS ANGELES RISES
AGAINST SENATOR
eopIe Hang Out Flags and
Adopt Resolutions Pro
testing Works' Speech.
DISLOYALTY IS CHARGED
City Council Adopts Resolution of
Denunciation and Times Edito
rially Suggests Another
riace of Residence.
UOS ANGELES, Feb. 8. (Special.)
Resentment such as seldom if ever be
fore has been manifested In the his
tory of Southern California, swept Los
Angeles when Its citizens today read
the speech Senator Works made yes
terday In Washington. In which he
charged the United States and American
citizens with being unneutral toward
Germany, an attitude which he said had
made the break with Germany inevit
able. In answer to Senator Works" criti
cism of the President for the severance
of relations with Germany, Southern
California today hoisted the Stars and
Stripes from San Diego to the Teha
chapi, and Los Angeles tonight is deco
rated In the National colors in a man
ner fitting Independence Day.
City Council Denounces Senator.
The Los Angeles city council by
unanimous vote today denounced Sena
tor Works for his attitude and char
acterized his attack on the President
as "uncalled for and untimely and at
variance with the spirit of true Ameri
canism." The resolution assured the
President that Los Angeles "thorough
ly dissents from the unpatriotic opin
ions" of the Senator. Further, the
President was assured by the council
"of our hearty support of his policy."
The resolution was adopted without
comment.
In commentiilg on Senator Works
speech, the Los Angeles Times says,
editorially.
It is to be hoped, but not expected,
that when the Senatorial term of John
D. Works expires, 24 days hence, he
will not return to this city, but go to
Germany or hell. He misrepresents
California and blots in his old age the
creditable record he has made in many
things by protesting against the action
of the President In severing diplomatic
relations with Germany. And he slan
ders his country in saying that "the
United States has not been neutral as a
Nation."
Chamber Pledges Loyal Support.
Soon after the action of the City
Council the directors of the Chamber
of Commerce sent a telegram to the
President assuring him of their united
support in the crisis. The directors
tonight gave a reception in honor of
Hugh S. Gibson, of Los Angeles, first
secretary of the American Embassy in
liOndon. Mr. Gibson is home to visit
bis mother.
Mayor Woodman today took steps for
the formation of a committee of safety.
With the co-operation of railroad and
steamship companies and Industrial
corporations generally the Mayor plans
to have in one week an efficient force
of 10.444 men ready for whatever panic
and disturbance the International situ
ation may produce here.

6AN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8. (Special.)
Eighteen colonists bound for Palmeto
del Verde Island, near Mazatlan. where
they propose to raise cocoanute, early
tomatoes and tropical fruits, will leave
San Francisco on the steamer Newport
Saturday.
The 18 are said to form an Install
ment of about 300 who are hoping to
make their fortunes out of cocoanut
and tomato ranching on this Mexican
Isle. Among them are several of the
artists and literary folk of Carmel.
Harry Leon Wilson Is eaid to have
acquired an estate of 100 acres of
choice cocoanut and early tomato land
on Palmeto del Verde. Grant Wallace
is another and so Is S. E. Armstrong.
the artist, who has already investigated
the nut prospects in Tahiti. Still an
other is said to be Herbert Schmidt,
architect, who with other members ot
his family is reported to have taken
900 acres. Fred Thompson, of the
Uotremian Club, is going with the Sat.
urday installment.
The colony is said to have been or
ganized by a Los Angeles real estate
man and to have 40.000 acres on
Palmeto del Verde, which is shaped
like Catallna and about as large. De
scriptions picture the island as a tropic
scene of rare and valuable trees of
the kinds used in making piano cases
and abounding in parrots, quail, deef.

BRAZIL'S NOTE FIRM
Measures of Protection Men
tioned in Reply to Germany.
BLOCKADE NOT ADMITTED
Hope Is Expressed That Govern
ment Will Not Be Compelled to
Break Amicable Relations;
Short Notice Protested.
RIO JANEIRO. Feb. 8. Brazil's reply
to the German note to be made public '
today, will, in terms polite but firm.
declare Brazil's intentions to hold Ger
many responsible for consequences
which may result from the new sub
marine warfare.
The reply expresses the desire of
the Brazilian government not to be
compelled to break the amicable rela
tions it always bas maintained with
Germany, a fact, however, which will
not prevent Brazil from taking
measures of protection and from pro
testing against the menace to Brazilian
commerce and navigation contained in
the note of the Imperial government
concerning measures for the marine
bases Us protest upon the
following four fundamental principles:
First The extension of an inadmis
sible blockade.
Second The unexpectedness of the
communication, whjch gives only the
short interval of five days before the
putting into operation of submarine
measures with regard to several
Brazilian ships now at sea or anchored
in foreign ports.
Third The ignoring of all rules
established by international law and
the principles set forth in solemn
treaties and conventions, the signa
tories of which are Brazil and Ger
many herself.
Fourth Brazil's objection- to the
declaration that no country should
dissent from German's purpose to
employ all means to render effective
her blockade under the conditions
mentioned in her note.
The reply concludes by expressing
Brazil's hope that Germany will take
into consideration the fundamental
principles of Brazil's protests and
Brazil's holding Germany responsible
for the consequences which may come
from making effective the threat
againt the navigation of non-belligerent
states.

"I knew it was going to cost some
thing to prevent labor troubles on the
building," Hill said, "so I called Boyle
in and put it up to him squarely. He
wanted $30,000. but I got him to come
down to $20,000.
"I paid him $5000 at intervals, and
when the building was completed I had
paid him the final installment. All

Lokal Anzelger Editor Asks What
Is to Be Expected in Event of
War When Laws Already
Are Being Disregarded.
BERLIN, Feb. 7. via London. Feb. 8.
In a prominently displayed leader the
Lokal Anzelger today charges the
United States with a breach of treaty
obligations, "in compulsorily detain
ing in America German subjects, who.
under the treaty of 1799. are entitled.
even in the case of an actual outbreak
or war, to pursue their vocations un
molested." Recalling the charges of
violation of treaties and the law of
nations made against Germany in the
earlier days of the war, the Anzelger
continues:
'The breach of diplomatic relations
with the United States will probably
be made again the occasion for level
ing against us charges of breaking
treaties and international law in order
to mobilize the indignation of the
whole world against our shameful acts
Breach of Treaty Charged.
"It is, therefore, not at all an act
of supererogation to point out now,
while the deed is still fresh, that the
United States, simultaneously with the
breach of relations, has been guilty
of an unjustified breach of treaty in
confiscating German property contrary
to treaties between them and Ger
many and condemning German sub
jects whose profession, in the words
of clause 23 of the treat yof 1799, serves
the sustenance of the general weal of
humanity to compulsory detention.
This in spite of the fact that the cited
article prohibits any molestations of
German subjects In the United States,
even in the case of war.
Pretext Declared Lacking.
"If treaties are thus trodden under
foot after a breach of diplomatic re
lations, when President Wilson's phrase
that Americans are sincere friends of
the German nation is still resounding.
what have, we to expect if the con
tingency for which we must be pre
pared arrives and war breaks out?
"If wo cannot prevent a breach or
treaty, we must at least call attention
clearly, openly and immediately to the
fact that the United states uovern
ment has violated the treaty of 1799
and the general principle of the law of
nations before Germany has under-
iRbn anvthinar which could give the
slightest shadow of a pretext for such
an action."
