LOS ANGELES LABOR LEADERS, IN
HOT DEBATE, VOTE NOT TO STRIKE
Each Speaker Insists, However. That Federation Mnst Be Recognized and That Unions' Demands Will
Backed ty Strike i f Conflict Is Necessary.
LOS ANOELKS, Sept. 1. (Special.)
Lbur lea.lera here have gone
on record as opposing any strike
on the so-called Harrlman lines In the
Vest. This action came at an open
meeting In the Labor Temple the other
night after a hot debate, and after the
speakers had told of their conference
In S-n Francises with Julius Krutt
schnltt. director of maintenance of way
department of the Harrlman system.
They also outlined their plans for mak
ng the organisation of the Federa
tion of Shop Employes more nearly
perfect and to enlarge It so that it
will embrace nearly every craft em
ployed on railroada. They one and all
announced that they believed a friend
ly eettlement would be reached be
tween the men and the management
. of the railroad, and that no strike
would be needed to clear the situation.
Kaon speaker, however, wound up his
remarks by asserting that the Feder

Sertallata Have New Scheme
"The Insidious progress made by cer
tain "doctrines" of oar Socialist friends
la seen In the proposal here that the
street railways and the city go Into
partnership. The proposal has gone
as far as the City Council and ordin
ance builders of that body have ad
mitted that they are considering the
Idea seriously. The companies, how
ever, are fighting It desperately, and
with every appearent chance of suc
cess. Just what are the details of the
plan as It stands at present, no body
seems to know, or at least no body
will undertake to say. Haines V. Reed,
one of the ordinance experts here now,
made the following statement the other
day: "What we are In effect trying
to d la to make the city and the com
panies doing business In the city,
partner In the great enterprise. Our
Idea la copied more or less from the
city ordinances of Chicago, when the
Accessible, Well Worthy of Visit.
softened afterglow of the setting sun.
One can readily look upon them and
Imagine himself In fairyland and llfcten
to the music of wonderful organs and
the sonifs of nymphs and the. chanting
of goblins and gnomes. One gazes
upon them In awe. contemplates their
grandeur with devoutnens. their sub
limity as something altogether holy.
Let no man or woman say that he
has see all the wondrous works of
Nature In Oregon, nor the best, until
a visit has been made to Pine Creek
Castles. They may be reached over a
good road by automobile from the end
of the railway at Condon In a couple
of hours, or from The Dalles, also over
good roads. In a distance of l'ii miles,
perhaps 10 miles less.
Be
plan Is to give the city more or less
direct control of the transit lines,
particularly In regard to the handling
of the funds for the maintenance of
way and operating expenses."
Blow Dealt "Wllder-tlers."
Oh ye who have been stung by wild
cat mines, learn now that your suffer
ing and losses have not been In vain.
Wildcat mining Is now a thing of the
past. At least so says a dispatch
from Phoenix. Arls a locality where
they certainly should know whereof
they speak In this connection. Says
the dispatch:
Just at present there Is a refresh
ing absence of wildcat mining In Ari
zona and the newspapers have lost, for
a time at least, a branch of patronage
which has been peculiarly profitable
In the past, provided payment for the
advertising was made in advance.
Nothing haa been better for legiti
mate mining In the Soutnwest than the
conviction In Kansas City of the pro
moters of the Two Queens mine near
Christmas and of the Mansfield, near
Patagonia.
It la told that $100,000 was taken
from a single little village oa the Hud
son by a schemer who represented a
former holding company that had some
claim upon he famous Vulture mine,
northwest of Phoenix. The "Investors"
learned at :ast that thay had dumped
their money Into the hands of a sharper
who had not even a shadow of title
upon the once great property In -which
he was selling shares. The Clifford
enterprises In North Central Arizona,
found the Peck and Slayer sections,
were conspicuous examples of how to
make money In mines without mining.
Tet there was a time when ary adverse
publicity concerning mining fakes was
met with a hiss of reproach upon the
man who would keep money from com
ing Into the country.
Power Expert to Tour.
With their eyes on the future of this
district power experts In the employ of
the city are off for a tour of the coun
try to observe, learn and adapt for the
use of Southern California all of the
Idea they m.iy find in an inspection of
the more prominent plants throughout
the Nation. Every large electric plant
In the country will be visited by the
party, composed of Professor II. J.
Kyan, consulting engineer for the city's
power bureau, E. F. Scattergood. chief
engineer of the bureau, and T. A. Paint
er, his assistant. The city's Board of
Public Works has approved of their
plcn and has appropriated $1000 to pay
the expenses of the trio. While the
engineers are keeping their route a
secret, as they are afraid of missing
some of the Information they are seek
ing should their plana leak out In full.
It is understood that several privately
owned plants In Washington and Ore
gon are on their lists, and It Is prac
tically certain that they will Inspect
some of the development work In Colo
rado. Tax Dodging I Alleged.
Charlea M. Smith, a candidate for
the office of City Assessor, ha startled
the public here by the sensational
charges he ha made In hi campaign
literature Jut published. He declares
that the poor man la paying anything
you please above the rate he should
and that the rich man Is doing Just the
reverse, and beating the state and city
out of at least 60 per cent of the money
he owes them. He says, among other
things:
The average taxpayer today Is paying
at least 25 per cent more than he should,
while the wealthy classes are not pay
ing within 60 per cent of what Is right
and Just. Tax-dodging la an art with
three-fifths of those who can afford to
stand their Just share.
Some hide behind their wife's skirts,
others without real estate, living on
the fat of the land and enjoying all
that money can buy. escape paying
taxes by their silence. That class live
in swell hotels and apartment-houses.
This year, as a deputy in the County
Assessor's office. I was Instrumental
in adding to the county rolls 250 special
assessments, with an average of $15,000
each assessment. In round figures those
assessments amounted to $3,757,466,
and the tax on said sum about $40,000.
One assessment alone should be re
garded as out of the ordinary, whfreln
I raised a $260 assessment of the J. D.
Hooker estate to $327, ."70. and only a
thread to work upon. The city assess
ment shows this to be $286.
Three hundred million dollars Is too
light an assessment for a city the size
of Los Angeles $360,000,000 would be
more like it. and easy enough to get. I
emphasize that tho 10 per cent horizon
tal raise was unnecessary, and again
I say unjust. Pasadena has a valuation
of $4X.00.0"0. The values placed by
the City Assessor this year upon gilt
edge downtown and Industrial property
Is entirely too low.
nrongber See Rainbow at Nlgbt.
Dr. J. W. Itrougher. who returned
from his annual vacation the other day.
was warmly received by his flock at
the Temple Baptist Church. He talked
about his vacation experiences, espe
cially about "A Rainbow at Midnight."
He said, among other things:
"There Is. Indeed, a strange spell
that comes over every lover of beauty
who ha voyaged along" these "far
northern now-pearled shores, with the
violet waves of the North Pacific Ocean
breaking splendidly upon them. There
Is Just one scene that forms the basis
of my sermon tonight. In the Wrangel
Channel we witnessed a wonderful sun
set. Every land may occasionally have
a beautiful sunset, but I doubt If there
is any place where the sun going down
casts uch a delicate shade of coloring;
as n the Inland sea.
"The enchanting beauty Is doubtless
due to the many wooded Islands and
high, snow-capped mountains which
cait their shadows over open sweeps
of water, from which there Is arising
a delicate mist. When the fires of sun
rise or sunset sink through these mists
the splendor of coloring is marvelous,
and I doubt if It Is equaled anywhere.
It Is as though the whole bay were
one great opal which had broken apart
and flung its escaping fires of rose,
amethyst, amber, lavender and green
up through the maze of trembling pearl
above It.- It looked like a sea of opal
et In a mountain of gold.
"We had been looking "upon this
scene of beauty nearly two hours when
the clouds bepnn sending forth a gen
tle mist, and Instantly there appeared,
spanning the heavens from horizon to
horizon, a perfect rainbow. In the
west the golden sun was sinking be
hind the mountain, the eastern sky
was draped In the beauty of a rainbow,
and the whole earth was bathed in
colors so delicate and soft that to touoh
would be to destroy them. Such a
scene. I am told, might be repeated at
midnight farther north, where they
have the nightless days. But this rain
bow in the night had its lessons for
me."
Chief's Ancient Bonea Found.
To Jump for a moment Into the past
where the bones of an Indian chief, dis
covered, the other day at Long Beach,
take us, serves to accent the wonders
of the present more than any other one
thing could do. Captain A. PaschalU
who found the remains of the chieftain,
is responsible for that sentiment. The
body, or bones, was found wrapped In
fine grass covering underneath a pile
of stones. On the breast of the skele
ton was a whalebone bow la perfect
condition, as well as other warlike im
plements. The remains were in perfect
condition and are arousing great In
terest In Lorn? Beach and this city.
Blind Man la College.
Master of more than five language
and the higher branche of abstruse
mathematics, despite the fact that he
Is blind and deaf, Edward Ray, the only
blind man ever to graduate from Har
vard, arrived here the other day to
begin work for his fourth academic
degree at the University of Southern
California.
Ray Is $4 years old. and Is probably
the best educated blind man in the
world. In view of the Immense diffi
culties under which his acquirements
have come, hi case is looked upon as
little less remarkable than that of
Helen Keller, blind, deaf and dumb
from birth. He Is possessed of a mem
ory o unusual that, by no other mean
than hearing, hi abstruse textbooks
read to him while his hearing yet re
mained to him, he has been able to
graduate with honors from the most
difficult university courses.
When he haa attained the degree of
master of laws in the university In
this city. It Is Ray's expectation to re
turn to his native State of North Caro
lina, where he will become a candi
date for the United States Senate. Jf
seat In the highest legislative body of
the Nation has been his ambition al
most since hi childhood, and the at
tainment of it he does not look upon
as necessarily mors difficult than the
obstacles which he ha already suc
cessfully overcoma

NEW YORK, Sept. 16. (Special.)
America Is to have BertUlon's
new system of identification
known a the "portrait paries." Cap
tain J. P. Faurot, of tbe New York Po
lice Department, has brought it with
him from Paris, and he wiH teach it
to the police departments of all the
chief cities of the United States. It
was Bertillon who devised the process
of measurement now used for recording
and identifying criminals. The new
system is not unlike it in general char
acter, but it is dependent on classifi
cation of criminals according to three
chief features the ears, eyes and nose.
These features differ materially In
different Individuals. Ears especially
are distinctive.
Lieutenant George Cornwallls-West
is best known as the second husband
of the one time Lady Randolph Church
Ill. Just now he Is .lying in a hospital
in New York recovering from an opera
tion for appendicitis. Lieutenant Cornwallls-West
came over to Canada for
a little shooting and developed trouble
with his appendix shortly after his ar
rival. When his friends heard that he
was in New York they doubted it be
cause they had not known he was in
this country, but cable messages from
his family say that the Invalid in New
York is really he.

clerks in Washington a few days ago
for insulting his daughter. Miss Italy

store with her father to purchase a
coat, when the clerk who -waited on
her tried to engage her in conversation,
which she refused to do. As Mr. Carter
and his daughter turned to leave the
building, the clerk was heard to make
insulting remarks. Mr. Carter then
used his cane on the offender and on
the three clerks who had come to their
mate's assistance.
A new musical conductor has come
to the front in New York this Summer.
He is Elliott Schenck, son of a noted
Brooklyn clergyman. He was musical
director of the New Theater last sea
son. Mr. Schenck has done some note
worthy work In composition particu
larly the Interlude music to the Indian
plays, which were given by the New
Theater last season. During this Sum
mer Mr. Schenck has conducted on the
roof of the .Century Theater an orches
tra of 50, composed of musicians from
some of the best of the New York
symphony orchestras, and the concerts
have been a remarkable commercial as
well a artlstlo success.

Subtleties In Painting. 1
t Bookman.
A strange case of the revealing pow
er of the portraitist's art came under
my notice some time back. A lady who
was suffering from some ailment that
baffled all the doctors, was advised
by her family medico to try traveling
for a time: there was a chance that
such a change would improve her state
of health. The husband readily fell In
with this advice, as he wanted his
wife to be painted by a distinguished
foreign artist. During her absence
from home the lady's portrait was
painted and to the entire satisfaction
of the husband. On their return home
a reception was arranged to give their
numerous friends an opportunity of
seeing the great artist's work. To that
reception the lady's family doctor was
Invited. He gazed long and earnestly
at the portrait, after which he took the
husband aside and 6aid to him: "Now,
I know what is really the matter with
your wife." "Well," answered the hus
band, "what is it?" "Insanity!" was
the doctor's one word. That lady died
in an asylum within a year.
