ADMIRAL CAMPBELL
Talks About Rattlesnake Island and
Ballona Harbor.

"Look at here, why don't you stop
calling me admiral. l have no claim to
q title,' said Admiral James Campbell,
OF BallOna, to a HERALD man.
We'll, how are things at the harbor ?'
First rate; we are hard at work and
getting ahead all the time"
There is some talk of the Cross road
getting in at Ballona; is there anything
in it,"
Not thing that know of. I think
they intend to build to San Pedro.
am acquainted with the general mana
ger, Burnett, and think that those are
his plans. In fact believe that it has
been made public that they intend to go
TO Rattlesnake Island"
"How about your road, thenn'
There is plenty of room for both of us.
My line will only go to Long Beach, and
theirs will extend to this city. l don It
see that there is any necessity for us to
clash. But | am paying more attention
to the harbor. l consider that the most
important point on the coast for Los
Angeles, and the near future will prove
it,.
Does your company intend to operate
the harbor to completion ?"
yes, we'll think so. We have had
proposals from several parties, but we
will not be ready to close negotiations
until next year."
"How about your wharf?"
''We are getting around to that, and
the surveys and surroundings are all
complete, and have almost completed
my estimates for the lumber and will
soon advertise for bids. The directors
have not decided when work will COM
mence, but I think it will be soon. 1t
will be 920 feet long and will reach a
depth of twenty-five feet of water at the
loest tide. We are all right; the COM
merce of Los Angeles must be done in
Santa Monica bay and Ballona is the
best spot in that bay"
The admiral is full of faith and
evidences it by his work.

A BABY KIDNAPPED.
TWO MISCREANTS STEAL AN IN
FAINT FROM ITS MOTHER.
A Domestic Tragedy-Mrs. Ricardo Martin
Loses Her Chlld-Did Her Husband
Steal it?

Francisco Carmen and his comrade
Manuel sat in the hallway of the house,
346 Also street, yesterday evening. Man
uel carelessly twanged guitar, and
Francisco lazily blew cigarette smoke
through his nostrils. Little Ricardo
Martin, nine months old baby boy, was
playing in little girls arms near by.
''Let me have the little one", said
Francisco, and the girl placed the baby
in his lap. He rose at once and walked
towards the front door.
Don't take the baby out there, he'll
catch cold", called the little GIRL but
Francisco hastned his gait and gaining
the street, ran, with the infant giving
frightened little cries, and Manuel fol
lowed close.
The baby was kidnapped.
Mrs. Reacrdo Martin, the childs
mother, was married to Ricardo Martin
in Boston nearly five years ago. She
and her husband were natives OF Spain,
but marriage proved failure, and so on
the 18th OF last June an amicable separa-
ton was agreed upon, and Mrs. Martin
resumed her maiden name, Gutierrez
and with her father came to this city
and found a home with Mrs. Pedro
Arenas on Also street. There were
3 childen. Mr.. Martin kept 2 and Mrs.
Martin retained the baby, though her
husband in the most virile Casstilian
swore that he would sooner or later
have the little one. Mrs. Martin thinks
he has kept his word. She last heard of
him in San Francisco, and thinks that
Francisco Carmen and Manuel, who
masqueraded as cigar makers, were in
his pay. The poor mother, handsome
Spanish beauty, was heartbroken over
the loss of her child. The authorities
were at once notified, and mounted
officers in few minutes were on the
search.
The baby is described as very large
for his age, with dark brown hair, dark
complexion and dark blue eyes. He
was dressed in simple white dress.

REFORMERS.
They Pitch Into the Reckless City
Government.

A meeting of the municipal reform
association was held last evening, in Hi
nois hall, with a good attendance.
About five hundred names of members
were reported on the rolls. Several
ringing speeches were made by D. Gill
bert Dexter, DR.. Orme, r. H. Baker Mr..
Bell and others. The speakers presented
numerous facts and figures showing how
the money of the tax payers is
being squandered in various de-
partments of the city government.
An address to the public
was read by Ralph E. Hoyt, and unani-
mously adopted and ordered print
ed. 1t was decided to hold an in
dignation mass meeting in the same
hall next Wednesday evening, to which
tax payers and voters are invited to tell
what they know about city affairs. Mr..
Bosbyshell was elected vice president of
the organization, D. Gilbert Dexter was
added to the finance committee, and G.
M. Wells to the executive committee.
The association then adjourned for one
week.

in hand are in for hot campaign and

THE AUDIGIER BROTHERS.
The Would-be Suicides in Lamen-
table Condition


The two Frenchmen, Philip Louis and
Philip Audigier, who shot themselves in
the San Francisquito canon a little over
three weeks ago, because as they allege
they feared that they would be severely
punished for having started brush fire
which they could not afterward control,
are still at the county hospital. TIL ere
is very little hope that either will leave
it alive. The bullets in their heads
have not been extracted, and it is proba-
BILE that they never can be, now. Louis
is suffering intensity from his eyes and
is threatened with blindness. Philip
cannot hear out of his right ear. Both
men are in lamentable condition,
deserving of the sympathy of other
people, but it will always be subject
of wonderment what the real reason was
that induced them to do so rash
thing.

PROPOSAL TO ABOLISH TAXES.
Corporations to Pay for Franchises and
Privileges Granted Them.


The Real Estate Record and Guide de
clarcs that there should be and there
would be no taxes if the city were in re-
ceipt of payments from corporations
commensurate with the great value OF
franchises and privileges granted them.
1t says if such payments were made
there would be no necessity for main
tanning a bureau for the collection OF
taxes on real and personal estate. III
proof of its assertion. the Record and
Guide says that at the end of last year
the total mileage Of gas pipes laid in the
streets of this city was over LESS. OF
these, liz miles were laid by the Equit.
able Gaslight Company and the remain.
ing 1-116 miles by six other companies.
Tho Equitable began laying its mains
in 1885 and is required by the terms OF
its franchise TO pay into the city treas
ury twenty cents for each lineal foot of
mains laid This payment now amounts
to S1lS.94O. The other companies do not
pay penny to tho city for the valuable
privilege that they enjoy. Despite the
wise provision made in the case OF the
Equitable. the Standard Gas Company
was permitted to begin laying mains in
pipes, paying the city nothing what
ever for the privilege. The Record and
Guide insists that if the gas. heating
horse car, electric light and other COM
panies were made to pay into the city
treasury proper taxes the revenue de-
rived would be sufficient TO meet munic-
ipal expenses and do away with the
collection of all other taxes.
The Standard can not attempt to say
how far the Record and Guide is right.
We hope that our contemporary Will
take the trouble 10 go carefully into the
figures. The principle of the single tax
demands that all individuals who enjoy
a privilege granted to them through the
use of public powers, and all enjoying
right to the use of property belonging 20
the whole people, shall pay into the pub
lie treasury annually an amount equiva-
lent to- the value of the privilege that
such individuals or corporations enjoy.
We claim that the privilege of the mo-
nopoly of land by an individual should
thus he taxed, but we shall rejoice if the
Record and Gui<e can bring the people
who do not yet understand the land Quos-
ton into an assertion OF the rights of the
community 10 ne COM ptl>dLcu 4Ot INC
use OF the public streets for personal
profit.
We presume ~hat the Record and Guide
does not agree with the Standard prin-
ciples concerning tax on land values.
We hope, however. it will seriously con-
slider these questions: If its own plan
could be made practical. and ali taxes ON
real estate be abolished, who would get
the benefit of the exemption: Would 1t
be the mass of tne people in New York,
or the owners OF the land in the city linn
its? Would the exemption of the land
owners from taxation tend to bring la I'D
now held vacant into usef Woulc ~
lower rents?
