PLATT AND REFORn

Commenting on the coup by which the
reform Republicans of New York fell
into the hands of the great anti-reform
boss, Tom Plat, the New York Evening
Post says:
The personnel of Platts following in
this city IS strikingly revealed in the
methods by which the primaries and del
eRatc conventions have been carried"
All opposition has been put down with
physical force, panied with whoops and
yells. The Boys stood no nonsense fro m
any quarter. If any one objected to the
Platt programme he was saluted with
such cries as, Come ont of that, you
DEVIL" kick him in the stomach, ="
and others far less suitable for publica-
ton. When the snindies in various
parts of the city we're over, Platt had
nearly all the delegates in his favor. and
he will appear in the state convention
backed up by them as represen tatives of
the Republican party in New York city.
1t is very plain that he has the support
of the boys of the old machine who
fought so CALAMITY for many years with
Jake Paterson, Johnny o. Brien. Barney
Biglin. Johnny McClave and the otber
jmmortals. They are all d own on the
mayor and are all in search of the offices
which his administration has failed to
give them. Lauterbach says that they
are for Platt because the ARE not to be

Of our present population hardly knew
there was such town as Los Angeles on
the Pacific END Of tho United States ten
years ago. Such being the case. the new
corners can have no proper conception as

has become the enterprising and hand
some city that it is today.
Recently local writer wrote, in sub

out OF an Insignificant and rusty old
town. But it 10 just as well for every
body to recognize the facts of history.
About nine years ago, when the tide Of
immigration turned upon this place, Los

traffic almost impossible and pedestrian
ism psrilous, and in summer the dust was
ever swirling and all-pervasive. How
ever, despite these drawbacks, people
came here from the east by scores and
hundreds; they continued to come, and a
large percentage of them subsequently
invested money in Los Angeles mud and
dust and proceeded to make substantial
Improvements in their adopted city. A
few of the early settlers have caught the
spirit Of enterprise from the active new
corners, and have made good improve
mants, and are now making more.
Thus, by the united efforts of old resi-
dents and recent corners we have the
splendid Los Angeles of today. As to

interests of both are identical. If such
jealousies exist, they should be elimin-
ated, and all hands pull tremendously
together to, realize for Los Angeles its
manifest destiny-that Of being the most
prosperous city on the Pacific coast.

Dole government for a cable between the
islands and California, was in Washing

Although law exists providing a penalty

Poor Fund Swelling and the Charity List
Growing Larger Hourly
Many eheerless homes of poverty were
made temporarily happy yesterday as cheer
ful fires cast their glows from the fireplace,
and the dinner pots bubbIed and steamed
merrily as result of the generous donations
during the past few days of the humane citi-
zens of Washington.
A number of new cases OF suffering were
reported to the police. Associated Charities
and Central Union Mission and many baskets
OF food were sent out by the charity workers.
Notwithstanding the low ebb az which the
relief fund OF the Central Union Mission
stands, nearly 600 hungry residents and
homeless wavfarers were furnished with sub
stantial dinner-lunches in the mission dining
r oms yesterday. The bill of fare consisted of
an abundance of hot coffee. coEned-beef sand
wiches, doughnuts and pie. The white
aprOned chief in the cleanly kitchen informed
a TIMES reporter that 500 sandwiches were
made and coffee enough to give each diner
two or more cups if called for. While the din
ners were in progress band Of mission sing
ers clustered in one corner OF the dining
room and, with organ and voice. rendered
a number OF stirring religious melodies.
Religious services were held in the main
auditorium of the mission from forenoon IN
til 10 o'clock last night.
Another feature of the poverty crisis will be
a clothes-mending bureau, which the Legion
Of Loyal Women are about TO establish at
their headquarters, No. 419 Tenth street
northwest.
Contributions received yesterday swelled
the general relief fund TO S299.S1. The Asso-
ciated Charities received $40 from Chandler

handed in at the Central Union Mission,

Later in the night Policemen Muller and
Neale were attracted to the place by Craw-

the latter assaulted the officer and tore his
