FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.
A PLAN BY CAPTAIN CROSS OF THE
PARK COMMISSION.
A Proposed Issue of Bonds for Exten-
sive Park Improvements which
win Kmploy Many Idle
Laboring Men.

The park commission yesterday set in
motion plan to give work to hundreds
and perhaps thousands OF the idle men
OF Los Angeles. The plan is unique, but
will no doubt be looked upon by the
city council, to whom the matter will
be referred, in most favorable light.
The plan proposed is to call an cleo
ton for the voting OF 100000 bonds for
the extension and improvement OF the
various parks In the city. BY the issu-
ance of these bonds 1t is proposed to
give the unemployed laborers OF the city
an opportunity of securing considerable
work upon the improvement of the
parks.
Captain Gross ia the originator OF the
scheme. and at the meeting yesterday
strongly advocated it. He was of the
opinion that it would carry by large
majority. Much time was taken up in
its discussion, and each of the commits
sioners seemed to take deep interest
IN the project. Mr.. Gross gave many
reasons for the aid this scheme would
give the hundreds OF idle laborers of the
city.
Commissioner Pinney thought that
should the bonds carry, it would be very
expensive to maintain the improve
ments, while Captain Gross with his
usual versatility proceeded to dilate upon
the feasibility of the proposition. Fin
ally the captain moved that the COM
mission meet in joint session with the
city council next Monday morning at 8
o'clock to discuss the matter more thor
oughly. The motion carried unani-
mously.
The first routine business to come up
was the consideration OF petition from
Mr.. Grosserner and 150 others, asking
that the name of the Sixth street park
be changed to Central park. Action on
the matter was deferred until the sigma
lures OF majority OF the property own
ers in the vicinity could be obtained.
A communication was received from
Mrs. Mcdonald asking the privilege of
distributing tracts in the park on Sun
days. The matter was referred to the
park superintendent.
Messrs. Harvey and Lyon, members OF
the state board of horticulture, appeared
before the board with view to obtain
ing tract OF land in Elysisn park for
the establishment OF a botanical garden.
Commissioners Pinney and Legrande
were appointed committee to meet the
gentlemen in the park in the afternoon
and decide on the location, boundaries,
etc.
The lease for the boating and stand
privileges at the East Los Angeles park
was given to J. Mohan for two years, the
consideration being $3.50.
Messrs. Pinney and Lagrsnde were
appointed acommittee to investigate the
advisability OF removing the propagating
department and nursery from the East
Los Angeles to the Elysian park.

LETTER BAG.
Gems Can Be Made.

Editor HERALD .-Will you indulge me
in few comments ON the editorial in
your issue OF today on Edison and Gem
manufacture?
In regarding your remarks, am re-
minded of the fact that the information
generally diffused among the intelligent
public, has hardly kept pace with the
achievements Of modern experimental
science. 81 ioI- 9ila sid % oIn,slt
In your article you say :.9Foi ia
But even 10 the midst of the marvels
TO the nineteenth century we must mo-
mentarily pause at the announcement
that Edison or any body else can make
rubies at the rate OF SIS pound-and
rubies, mind you, that are one hundred
times handsomer than the genuine.
There is something in this statement
that raises very grave doubts of the
sanity of Mr.. Edison.
Doubtless it iB true that this claim OF
gem manufacture will appear somewhat
startling to the average intelligent
reader, yet these pretentions should not
occasion any doubt of Mr.. Edison's
sanity.
The artificial production OF genuine
rubies and sapphires is no new achieve
ment nor has its successful accomplish
ment been confined to anyone expert
mentar.
Passing over the labors OF Friedel.
Hautefeuille, Sarrasin, LIE Chatelier,
Fougue and Levy, each OF whom have
produced in the laboratory chrystals
identical with those made by Mother
nature, it is only necessary to mention
the work of Fremig vino succeeded in
producing large rubiea and sapphireH,
and a late result, that of Moissau who
was equally successfully with rubies,
though his gems were not large.
Rubies and sapphires, being nothing
but alumina, with the addition of a
little metallic substance, which gives the
characteristic coloring, the problem was
of course to chrystalize this substance,
which was done by subjecting it to an
intense heat. Moissau with the aid of
an electric furnace and an Edison dyna-
mo, produced the extraordinary temper
ature OF s 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
1t may perhaps be not generally known
that this last mentioned scientist has
also succeeded in producing genuine
diamonds. (though smalD as the British
experimentors, Marsden and Hannery
did before him, by subjecting purified
Carbon to intense heat under pressure.
Though the fact of the manufacture OF
artificial gems is beyond doubt, yet we
may reasonably question the assertion
that the cost is only So a pound, and the
further statement that they are hum
dred times handsomer than the natural
gems is at leaet very vague. Yours
very respectfully,
a..

"DoN'T CHOKE ME-"

Two Men Booke d For Attempting to Rob
Jim Dunn and Frank Pierce were ar.
rested last night and booked at the city
Jail for attempt to rob.
Officer Lennon WAS passing by the
alleyway on Jackson street when he
heard mans voice say, "Take what
I've got, but for Gods sake don't choke
me-"
The officer ran to the alley and saw q
man lying on the ground with two more
on top of him.
Seeing the officer, both men turned on
him and Lennon was obliged to draw
hls revolver in order to take them to the
jail.
A revolver was dropped by one of the
thieves and held ae evidence.
At the Jail, Che man assaulted by the
pair sof hobos, said that the two had
jumped on him in the dark and were
attempting to rob him when Officer
Lennon interfered. He gave his name
ae Sam Simondsen.
Simondsen was very drunk and the
hobos probably thought it was good
opportunity to "roll" him.

Another Unsuccessful Attempt TO Burn a
Frame Block oH Main street.

II is evident that there is still i fire
bug or two in town. and ore thcst
nights he is liable to he BROUGHT VI
to a short turn. Early YESTERDAY morn
ing the discovery was made that an
other attempt had been made 10 burn
the % Of frame buildings on the north
west corner Of Main and Seventh streets.
and it seems almost a miracle that it
was not successful.
W. G. Jackson's building and that oc-
cupicd b. Messrs. Strevell a. Porter
were the scene Of operations. and the
corner where Jackson's extends beyond
the other was the direct point. Both
buildings were saturated with coal oil
from the ground almost up to the caves.
while along the ground by the side Of
Jackson's house. in the little trench
formed by a board which holds the dirt
banking against the building there was
very plain evidence that hay or straw
had been packed in. and her set on fire.
This iniiammablc material had all
burned out. and the side Of the build
ing considerably blackened. 1t is a
complete mystery how the attempt
'ailed Of success, or even how the boards
escaped igniting.
Undoubtedly the fire was started be-
ore daylight. and as the wind was blow
ny hard all the after part of the flight,
I would have been very difficult to have
prevented a terrible conflagration. The
are at a total loss for the least
lue to the perpetrator. and the fact that
here had been SO many people on the
all night. makes il seem strange
anyone should have selected such
time to carry out his designs.

purchased in Miles City. and made out
in the name Of Smith. from which. in
connection with the other documents. il
was presumed that he was a travelling
painter.
deceased was a man about b years oi
age, about , feet 8 inches in height
slightly built and had black side wills

and was buried at Forsyth.

The entertainment given last evenin.
at the Presbyterian church by Bill Ny,
and A.P. Burbank was not as largely at
tended as the prominence of the enter
taIners or the merits of the sponsors de
served. No doubt the unwonted gayety
OF the past few days. winding up with
Wednesday nights dance, accounted
somewhat for the limited attendance.
Both Nye and Burbank acquitted them
selves creditably. Mr.. Burbank giving
the artistic and intellectual part Of the
program, sandwiched by the inimitable
William in his monotone talks. full Of
wit. and delivered apparently without
an effort. All the same William is not a
success on the platform not that he is
not good. but the trouble is that his
newspaper work. which everyone reads
nowadays. is SO very funny and its illus
trations sogrotesque that people form an
estimate of hin, as a platform
entertainer. They size him up in some
what the same style that country people
do the circus. by the bills. and as he can
never he as funny as his writings or look
anything like McDougal's pictures of
him. people are vaguely disappointed
in him. though perhaps they cannot tell
why. An expression heard in the audi
ence last night explains the situation
so, that's Bill Nye." That is all that
said, and it was not said in a depre-
tone either. but it expressed. just
as well as a half hours talk. that the
was somehow OIL somewhere
disappointed. A man with Williams
inexhaustible fund of wit, ought. it
seems, to get closet to his audience. He
cold. distant and imperturbable. He
reminds one of an automaton.
