A BIG HOTEL WANTED.
REPORT ON THE MATTER BY THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..
A Definite Proposal Wanted From the
People Here for the Confederation
of Capitslists-New Quar-
ters Desired.

The board OF directors of the chamber
of commerce met yesterday afternoon
at O'Clock. There were present the
following directors: Klokke, Freeman,
Forman, Mullen, Hazard, Parsons, Pat
terson. Stimson, Jones. Jevne, Lanker-
SHIN. Eisen, Cohn, McGarvin.
President Freeman occupied the chair.
After the transaction of routine busi-
ness, the hotel committee made the fol-
lowing report:
Your committee on hotels, believing
that the time is now at hand when soma
definite action should be taken in the
direction OF inducing capital to invest in
the construction of large tourist hotel
in Los Angeles. beg to report as follows
The committee met Monday, March
9TH, the following being present: An
drew Mullen, chairman I. d. Stimson,
W. G. Cochran, ]. O. Kays.
1t was decided to report advising that
advertisements be placed in the local
papers asking for propositions with re-
gard to site for such hotel, with
these limitations only, namely: That
the site be within the city limits and
that it include at least five acres.
The idea of the committee was that
what iH most needed is q definite plan
to be presented to eastern and local
capitalists that there is better prospect
OF securing attention to the undertaking
if our people here are agreed among
themselves upon the most desirable site
or the best proposition which we have
to offer for such building. The COM
mites at the present time knows of no
direct offers of capital for the construc-
tion of a hotel in this city, but is pro-
foundly of the belief that if a definite
proposal can be secured from this end
of the line, the publication OF the same
through hotel journals and other
agencies will bring it to the attention Of
hotel men and capitalists throughout
the country.
The main order of business for the
day being the location of quarters for the
chamber, the matter was Immediately
taken up and treated to long and vig-
orous discussion. A ballot was finally
taken, and by practically unanimous
vote it was decided to open negotiations
with George Mason with regard to his
proposed building, corner of Fourth
street and Broadway with a view to the
occupancy Of the second or third stories
OF the came by the chamber. A special
committee, consisting of the president
and secretary and Directors Forman,
Mullen and Stimson, to which Mr.. Eisen
was added as consulting architect, was
appointed to complete negotiations with
Mr.. Mason and draw up the necessary
specifications and contract.
Director Parsons reported the follow
ing as members of the mining commit
tee, and their appointment Was con-
firmed by the board: j. P. Culver, A. O.
Bilicke, II. E. Brook and George NJ.

The board then adjourned.

DEATH OF DucLosLANeE.
He Visited France for His Fortune but
Death Intervened.

He Visited France for His Fortune but
Death Interyened.
The sad news has just been received
OF the death OF an old resident. Phil
ip Ducloalangs, who died early last
March in Paris, France. He was rs
years old. and left this city, where he
has resided seven years, in May last, and
journeyed to France to settle an estate
of large proportions left by his grand
father.
His grandfather was secretary of
Louis XIV, and was a man of great
wealth. Mr.. Dueloslange was born in
America, and at the time OF his death in
Paris was with his neices, children of a
dead sister, who, with Mr.. DucloHange,
were to inherit the grandfather's estate.
Through trouble and war in France the
estate was lost sight OF from time to
time, and nearly 100 years elapsed be-
fore the matters were reopened. The
accumulated wealth, which is mostly in
the government treasury in France,
amounts toward nearly $2O00,000.
Mr.. Ducloslange, with his wife, some
"a years ago went to France TO settle
the estate, when the Franco Prnssien
war broke out, the emperor was taken
prisoner, and the case thrown back
again. They returned to their homo in
New Orleans, where they lived com
fortably for many years, having made in
his younger days considerable money,
but he lost it again, and some seven
years ago they came to California, where
the remnant of the small fortune was
lost. Here he was not successful. His
estimable wife worked faithfully, how
ever, for his comfort and happiness, and
kept want from the doos.
He was the recipient Of very encour-
aging news fran time to time from rel
atives in France about the unsettled
estate, and on the advice of Mr. Loeb,
the French consul here, got the case re-
opened, and finally, with some financial
help, in May last sailed for France. He
was rather feeble to undertake such a
journey, and it told on the old gentle
man, and the case was set about
the holidays, and was likely to
have been settled any moment when he
died. Mr.. Ducloalsnge leaves q widow,
whom he married 35 years ago in New
Orleans, and she is living in this city.
Poor Philip Ducloslange could be found
for years every morning at early mass,
and everyone knowing him will feel
sorry indeed to hear of bis death in
foreign land.

TIE FISH STILL ARE SICK
THE BEACHES COVERED WITH
THEM ALONG THE COAST.
The Same Conditions Noted ut Santa
CataIina-A Parasite IL Sup
posed to Be the
Cause.

W. s. Clarke of Long Beach was in
the city yesterday and gave the follow
ing information about the fish disease
now prevalent:
For three weeks or more it has been
noticed that the beach up and down the
coast from Santa Barbara to San Diego
was strewn with dead and dying fiah.
and the wits of the fishermen and the
people living on the coast were taxed
to account for this startling state of af-
fairs.
Fishermen who fish around the
islands OF Clemente and Catalina were
interviewed and reported the same
thing about fsh being washed ashore
on the beaches surrounding those
islands. st3 bis s,.l
ALI sorts Of theories are advanced oas
to the cause; the. report most IciroulRted
and believed for awhile was that through
volcanic action the waters around Cata-
lima were SO impregnateds with sulphur
as to cause the fish in those waters to
sicken and die, and the action Of the
wind and tide would carry their car
cases to the mainland. But this was
Aouhh w 10 uAbonoblcg NC Ju0 lOuk
stretch of coast affected, from Santa
Barbara to San Diego, proves the cause
to be something more than local.
Another cause given was that OF cleo
trical or seismic disturbance. Another,
that the blossoms from the kelp or sub
marine flora now in bloom would stick
in their gills and choke them. In
fact, theories we're as plentiful as cram
berries in New jersey marsh, but none
OF them satisfactory. Some fishermen
whom interviewed stated it to be from
maggots. The barracuda, on being cut
open, were found to be full of very
minute parasite, go small that 1t took
microscope to detect life in the little
devils, and this, l think, is the only
true and rational explanation to account
for the. great mortality among our fish.
The porpoises are having q fiesta in
San Pedro bay, the water being literally
crammed with them. The question
naturally arises, with these facts in
view, is it safe to eat fish while this
state of things lasts?

Matthew ]. Byrne, the we'll known

ceived the pleasant intelligence that
relatives in the old country had left him

Assessments Coming I'm Rather Slowly
From Property Ownsrs.
City Assessor Hinton yesterday re-
ceieved 1l5 statements of property
vouchers sent in by property holders.
These are exclusive of the statemen
turned in by deputies in the field. The
assessor is anxious to get through with
the work at an early date this year, and
urges all property holders to come to
his Office and submit their schedules.
He has issued a circular in which he
says:
''As the city assessment roll must be
arranged alphabetically, the work OF
writing it up cannot be commenced un-
til ell the statements are in the pos
session Of the assessor. You therefore
see the necessity OF this request, and
your prompt compliance with this re-
quest will assure your property being
properly assessed, save yourself and
this Office much trouble, and help me
in making the cost OF the assessment
less.
"Do not send your statement by mail.
1t must be sworn to in person before
the assessor or one of his Deputies"

EIGHT INDICTMENTS RETURNED.
The Grand Jury Gets Down to
Business.
The True Bills Are All Against One
Public Officer.
crimes That Were Committed in Con
nsction with the Public Revenue.
The OficiRl Bald to BE
Now in Hiding.

The grand jury gave signs yesterday
afternoon that 1t was alive and had been
grinding industriously during the few
weeks it has been in existence.
About O'Clock they sent word down
to Judge Smith who was trying a civil
case in department one that they wished
to make partial report.
Judge Smith sent word back that he
would receive them at any time they
chose to make their appearance during
the afternoon.
In about half an hour Foreman Day
and 15 of the other members OF the
grand jury filed into the court room and
as many as could took seats in the jury
box while the balance Of the inquisition.
erH stood up.
Among the members who were pres
sent waB Grand Juror Stein, whose pres
ence indicated that whatever indict-
ments the body had returned they were
not ct this time in connection with the
city board of education, of which he is q
member.
Upon being asked by the court If they
desired to make q report, Foreman Day
replied that they did, and handed into
the hands of the judge batch OF eight
indictments.
Judge Smith looked them over and
held q whispered consultation with
Clerk Forester, who took the mysteri-
ous documents and placed them in bis
inside pocket without even looking at
them. The jury then filed out.
The secret of the indictments waB
very carefully guarded, and it was only
after considerable difficulty that an ink
ling could be obtained 90 to what they
were about.
1t was finally ascertained that the
eight indictments are against one man,
charging him with crimes in connection
with the public revenues.
The exceeding etrictnese with which
the grand jury has guarded the secret
of the indictments is due to the fact
that the individual against whom they
are brought is not directly where the
officers can put their hands on him.
They have been afraid that if his
name should leak out it would result in
mis- skipping over the Mexican border or
being numbered with those who sud-
denly and completely drop cut of sight.
Some people say that the indicted
man is in the city, but there are others
who assert that he is far away and still
going. and that the officers in whose
hands the indictments have been
placed will never get within reaching
distance of him.
Judge Smith did not announce what
bonds he had fixed upon the indict-
ments, but warrants were very shortly
made out and in the sheriff's Office.
