permanent organization at a mass
meeting of citizens of Los Angeles, in

board of equalization in raising the as
sessed valuation of the property of this
county.
Many of those present at the meeting
today wore badges inscribed "South

trong sentiment in favor of state divi
sion, and this was later crystallized in
a set of resolutions passed by the meeting-

Immigrants Good Citizens.
Chicsgo, Sept. 14. "The immigrsnt
is a better American than the Ameri
can himvelf. He has learned by ex
perience in his native land to appreci
ate the freedom and advantages of the
United States. He can understand the
free life which the American takes
merely as an individual." Dr. David
Blaustein, superintendent of the Chi
cago Hebrew institute, speaking on

pressed himself yesterday.

era in Mexico.
Washington, Sept 14. Tales of
great Buffering in the flooded districts

ed at the State department today from
Lonsul General Philip C. Hanna.
brought forth another appeal tonight
from the American Red Cross society
for funds with which to "supply our
unfortunate neighbors of Mexico with
the necessities of life."
The loss of life and destruction of
property is even greater than was at
first supposed, and it ia predicted that
great physical-suffi ring will prevail
among the homeless during the fall and
winter.
Th destruction waa greatest in the
country and email towns between Mon
terey and Matamoras. Mr. Hanna says
me American consul at Matamoras re
ports that place under water and a seri
ous condition of affairs exists and that
the railroads between Matamoras and
Monterey have been waahed out
"We are sending supplies down the
railroad as fast ss it ia opened," saya
Mr Hanna.
He suggests that it mieht be onssi
ble for the American army in the South
west to co-operate with the Mexican
army and American and Mexican con
suls in assisting Mexican towns.
'It ia believed by many," Mr. Han
na said, "that more than 10,0000 lives
have been lost and thousands are home
less."
OLi SETTLEMENT IN RUINS.
Storm Plays Hsvoc With CenturyO!d
"Plsce of Peace."
La Paz, Baja California, Sept 8. via
Guaymaa, Sept 14. La Paz, the old
eit settlement of the California, is in
ruins. The most terrific storm ever
known has wrought havoc in and about
the old pueblo. Seven lives are al
ready known to be lost and the shore is
strewn with wreckage from ships and
boats in the roadxtead. Jn many places
the water ia four feet deep in the
streets snd some of the thoroughfares
are channels for raging torrents.
Communication with the outside
world, except by a stesmer, which has
just stopped at the port ia cut off and
the greatest misery exists, especially
among the pot r townspeople, the ma
jority of whom have lost everything
they had in the world.
From the country districts comes the
new thut the devastation there has
been great Without warning the cy
clone burst on this "Place of Peace,"
accompanid by torrents of rain. The
boats along shore and anchored in the
bsy were torn from their moorings and
most of them were buttered in collision
or thrown upon the beach. The sky
waa overcast and many believed the
end of the world at hand, and crowded
the old mission church in a delirium of
fear.
BOMB CASES ON TRIAL.

at Cnicago.

ight on the entire series of bomb out
rages which have taken place in Chi
cago in the last two years.
Serretsry John J. Brittain. of the
Amalgamated Carpenters' union, said
today that members of the union would
do all in their power to aid the defence.
Assistant State a Attorney Benjamin
Short who will have charge of the
prosecution, said that the reason the
Bomb 31 case would rot be heard
first was that State's Attorney Way
man believed it was not as important a
case as that of the Standard Sash &
Door company's explosion and fire, and
that the penalty was not o great
'Conviction in the case to be tried
first means a penalty of 29 years' ini-
irisonment he said, "while in the
Bomb 31' case theie is no areon charge
and the penalty for the offense is only
ten years.
