Shall We Vote the Park Bonds?

Editor Herald The first question a
good business man asks himself befo re
making an investment is. Will it pay?
Will it pay the property owners of Los
Angeles to vote the park bonds?
l think there is no investment we can
make that would pay better, because it
is conceded OH all hands by men who
have studied the matter that there is
nothing which tends more to the prosper
ity and rapid growth of city than highly
improved parks and plenty of them.
It is Il fact we'll known by travellers and
residents of London. England. that that
city is growing more rapidly than any
other in the world. [ have reference to
large cities. and this is in great meas
ure due to its numerous large and beauti-
full parks which are distributed at easy
reaching distance one from the other all

KID THOMPSON IN COURT
The Bandits Voice Is Much in
Evidence
A WITNESS GETS RATIFIED
The Suspect of the Roscoe Train
Robbery
Appears at His Ease While the Attorneys
Wrangle Over the Evidence That Will
Convict or Acquit

In department one of the superior court
the case of w. H. Thompson, better
known as kid" Thompson, charged
with train robbery and murder, was be-
gun yesterday morning. The defendant
was brought into court and presented a
very neat appearance. being well dressed,
smoothly shaven and hair cut a la Cor
bett. The state is rerresen ed by Dis
trict Attorney Donnell and J. J. McComas,
while the interests of the defendant are
zealously guarded by Ben Goodrich and
W. T. Harris.
The entire forenoon was consumed
in impaneling a jury. but soon after
the afternoon session began the panel
was completed and the taking OF testi-
mony begaL.
The following compose the jury: Charles
ris. Charles II. Gardiner, J. +. Powell,
d. W. Cate, L. A. Bailey, 2. y. Train.
J. w. Harmon. A. B Caldwell, f. II.
Royce and W. S. Hurlbut.
Only two witnesses were examined.
Henry Edgar. a fireman, who was dead
heading his way to Mojave. riding in the
cab when the hod-up occurred. His tes
timony developed nothing new. Then
W. II. Watkins, a railway postal clerk.
took the stand. He was in the previous
hod-up on December D. 1893 and conse
Quently was getting a little used to the
business. lie stated that he recognized
the voice of the taller one of the robbers
on the night of February Is. 1894. as be-
ing the same as one he had heard in the
hoId-up in December previous, and that
he had also heard and recognized the
same voice since in the county Jail OF Los
Angeles county. and at that time he saw
and closely scrutinized the party. who
was ENGAGED in conversation with Sheriff
Burr. WAen asked if the defendant
was the same party whom he had recog
nized as the owner of the voice i'll the
Jail, he left the witness stand and exam
ined the Kid closely, and then an
swered positively that he could not lden-
tify him as the same. The prosecution
made strong effort to get the witness to
identify the prisoner as the owner OF the
voice, but to no purpose. The district
attorney produced photograph of
Thompson taken as he appeared in the
Jail garb and with face unshaven, which
the witness readily identified as the
owner of the voice which he had recog-
nized in the jail, but he still refused to
identify the accused as being either the
owner of the voice or the original of the
photograph.
The prosecution then offered the photo
graph in evidence but the defense OBJ
jected that 1t was not the best evidence
when the original of it was there present.
and the objection was sustained by the
court.
Mr.. Bertrand. photographer was next
introduced and he identified the photo
graph as one he had taken of the defend
ant; then after m uch legal sparring by
counsel the photograph was admitted.
The court then adjourned until 10 a. III.

Favor the Bonds

Editor Herald The interest that the
people of Los Angeles are taking in the
park bond election that is to come off
Friday, May Sd, is good evidence that our
people are fully awake to the Importance
of having breathing places convenient to
the different parts OF the city.
If the bonds are carried, and we 90 not
see why they should not. as it secures
work for great many laboring men. the
$780, 000 asked for will enable the park
com missioners to secure additional land
adjoining Westlake. East Los Angeles and
Elysian parks, thereby making very ex-
tensive grounds and especially is it nee
essary to secure the ground owned by
private parties in the different parts OF
Elyslan park.
The land can never be bought at any
lower price than at this time and when
water is carried Oh to the park there can
be no more delightful place for good
long walk or drive through canyons and
along trails over the hills to some water
fall or grotto. which will be afforded in
Elysian park in the near future.
The objection raised to expending mon
ey on East Los Angeles and Elysian
parks is that they are so inaccessible.
This will soon be remeded when the
parks are we'll improved. The street cars
will find it to their advantage to extend
their lines so as to accommodate the pub
lie, for wherever there is large travel it is
hard to keep out railways.
Then let every laborng man and every
one interested in building up this city
get out and vote for the park bonds.

consumer is obliged to pay the expense
of advertising and risk the danger in
consumption. ''lf we continue to ac-
cept this evil and remain unmoved un-
der It, we must expect to incur the con-
sequences.
In the discussion which followed 1t was
asked what the parliament could do to
remedy this growing and very palpable
evil, to which Dr. Reid replied that each
housekeeper could refuse to buy ground
coffee and spices instead of the whole ber-
ries, which she could grind for herself.
Mrs. Mills suggested that these facts be
given wide publication and that women
keep on "nagging" until manufacturers
could be made honest.
Mrs. Brady said it was surprising we
were alive with all these adulteratons,
and presumed we should be obliged to go
on at this poor dying rate until the
mothers of the present should train boys
to be honest in business. which would
solve the pure food problem.
The president gave her habitual exhor-
tation on punctuality at the evening ses-
sion, after which the meeting adjourned.
The paper of the evening was read by
Mrs. Margaret Collier Graham of Pasa-
dena, Toward Altruria. A keen. incisive
review of our economic conditions was
presented with Mrs. Graham S character
istic wit and originality. She stripped
the sentme htality from some OF the pre-
valing opinions OF the day, and showed
that the wrongs we complain of are
largely due to extravaganza and false es-
Inmates of life. Permanent good to the
state grows out of individuality and per-
sonal responsibility.
The large audience was regaled by good

The Catholics Misrenresented

Editor Herald have it from a trust
worthy source that some persons are
spreading the report in this city that the
Catholic bishop and the priests are ad-
vising the Catholic people of the city to
vote against the issue of school bonds. y
a proposition soon to be voted upon.
Permit me through the columns of your
paper to say that report is UNANIMOUSLY
and maliciously false. We never adj
vised nor ever thought of advising
any such thing. In connection herewith
u beg leave to put this question to our
fair-minded non-Catholic fellow citizens: ::
Can the cause of education. can the best
interests of this community, can the in
stitutions of our common country. can
any honest purpose be served by men
who will thus Systematically misrepresent
their neighbors? Very respectfully,

The Old rIan Again

Editor Herald: This mornings paper
contains what purported to be reply to
my former letter on woman suffrage. But
in reality as it seems to me it is a per-
sonal attack upon my lady friends, whom
| feel called upon to defend. However.
there is one point we can agree upon
that there is no comparison between my
lady acquaintances ana associates and the
new woman.
l am very thankful for the sympathy
bestowed upon me in the reply. But |
will say for the writer's benefit that it is
uncalled for, as | am happy and content
with my choice of twenty wears ago. and
| only ask the good Lord not to replace
her with a woman of the new order. No,
thanks; do not care for the experience.
The ''old man" is very forgiving and will
accept any apology the new woman may
offer, and hopes in future she will not be
quite so personal but will keep her debate
to facts and points in the argument.
