THE GREATEST GOOD
Net to IN Iadividuai but to the Greatest
Number

The secretary of the Council Of La
Dor, Z. r. Holman, addresses to the
editor of the Herald a communication
which is timely and is here reproduced:
The primary principle of all labor or
Eanizations is: THE greatest good to
the greatest number" Wehave in the
past and are still struggling to maintain
that principle.
AS regards the harbor question, the
matter came to us in this light:
Coils p. Huntington stands for the
Southern and Centraln Pacific railroad
companies. He is now and always has
been the antagonist of free white labor
1t srepOrted that he is worth 500, 600 OOO
If that be true, every dollar represented
by that fortune stands for the profit
gained by the labor of some white
man-some American citizen-as
against the Chinese or peon labor con-
tracted for by this same man Hunting
ton or his agents in China or Mexico.
Yet when government contract
calling for the unnecessary expendi-
ture of something like sS,O0o,0O0 is
asked for, it is expected by Mr.. Hunt
ington's agents that organized labor
win respond.
1t has responded.
The call is for San Pedro 1t is the
peoples harbor. the only harbor for
which we, as members Of the great
body polite, are entitled to make any
demand until conditions are changed
The fact that a man (Otis) who has
antagOnized our interests and our peo-
PIE In the past is at this time allied
with the peoples interest does not af-
feet the proposition one way or the
other as far as We are concerned. His
errors of the past are no excuse for
ours Of the present.
We propose to perform our duty re-
gardless of who may be on either side
As far as the man Otis is concerned
we have no truce to make with him.
He has fought us and he has endeav-
Ored by his every effort to bring upon
US public contempt and scorn.
Still, while we admit all, this is the
explanation that we offer to the great
body of the American people for the
wanton expenditure of s3,000,O0O of the
money of our brethren, which should be
expended as the people desire.
Let 1t be understood that the labor
unions of Los Angeles are in favor of
securing for this section every conces-
sion that 1t is possible for congress to
consistently bestow
Yet, while this is the case, we as
workingmen and taxpayers are not
asking for any appropriation that the
public good does not warrant.
There will be but one deep sea harbor
on the coast for this county
1t will be either at Santa Monica or
Dan Pedro.
santa Monica is a railroad-locked
harbor. The only railroad that could
possibly find entrance under existing
conditions to its water front is the
Donthern Pacific
Why should the government of the
United etates,a government of the peo-
rle. put forth oftheir wealth to the ag-
Grnndixement of Mr.. Huntington and
Ats associates

Reason for Suicide

BAKERSFIELD, April ED. Hage-
man, marshal of Kern City, left here
ten days ago. He stayed longer than
his friends thought he intended to, and
some one looked over his books and
found that he had collected $1050 in taxes
and licenses since his last report, but
the money cannot be found. Hageman
was recently nominated on the citizens
ticket for reelection. The description
of the man who suicided at San Diego
Sunday, known there as G. d. Mellon,

AT THE THEATERS

Los ANGELES THEATER-An appreciatve
audience witnessed the initial production
last night at this theater of Mr.. Royle's
new comedy, Captain Impudence. The
strictly considered, as its virile action
trenches often in the realm of the most
moving and realistic melodrama. Withal,
the comedy is spontaneous and rpples
through the dction and the action with a
grace and naturalness that give it the po-
tent elements of inspiration. The play
carries ones fancy back to romantic
of Mexico, and there is glamor and fasci-
nation about the subject that has been
utilized to the utmost advantage by the
writer.
Without question, Captain Impudence
takes a foremost position as typi. al
American play, and it is equally true that
il is one of the best that has been here
this season. To this can also be added
the truism that the company most force
fully and happily interprets it. The dia-
logue is bright and sprehtly, and there are
sudden touches of unexpected pathos that
powerfully appeal to the human heart.
1t is also true that some of the situations
are of the most intense interest, and the
story is told with directness and happy
adaptation of American characteristics
that make the stage pictures seem like
vertable bits of actual life in this work-a-
day world. The scenic environments are
artistically conceived and beautifully ex-
plotted, the scene in the patio of the Mis-.
sion Dolores and the panoramic view of
Chapultepec being especially noteworthy.
AS to the players, Mr.. Royle had to divide
the honors with Madeline Merli as Jovita--
wonderfully strong character that re-
ceived consummate treatment ut her
hands. Mrs. Royle as the rollickinR widow
was also we'll cast, and Mr.. Henderson as
Mendoza and Mr. johnson as Jim were also
especially good in their impersouations of
character. Mr.. Bittner as the bluff major,
and Miss Lyons as his daughter gave full
measure of satisfaction. To sum up there
is a rare treat for playgoers in Captain I'M
pudence.
ORPHEUM--The popularity of the Orphe-
um was thoroughly tested last night. In
spite of the many attractions in town. the
Orpheum was crowded as usual. This
demonstrates the assertion that vaudeville
has the call in the theatrical world. The
bill at the Orpheum this week is quite in
keeping with the high standard set by the
management. Little Gertie Carlisle scored
hit, as did the Kins-Ners and Charles b.
Ward and the Andersons. Alburtus and
Bartram. Frank La MondlI, Basco and Rob-
erts and Wills and Collins were we'll re-
ceiyed and all scored several encores. The
bill will run all the week and will no doubt
test the capacity of the house.

be absolutely denied the use Of over three
fourths of the harbor by reason Of the
ownership by Huntington of the Santa
Monica Heights tract and practically from
the use OF all the harbor by reason of the
ownership by the Southern Pacific of the
100 foot right of way along nearly all the
small remainder of the approachable water
front in the direction of Santa Monica.
What can be said of the statements of
Messrs. Hood and Crothell. made before
the house committee and in the newspa-
pers, to the effect that the railroad only
controls fifty.foot strip along the water
front OF the proposed harbor, when these
statements are disproved by Mr.. Hoods
own testimony before the board
of United States engineers?
Why, that Mr.. Huntington's engineers
have, in pain English, lied about this mat
ter in the effort to deceive both the govern
ment and the people.
THE map published by the Express
Mr.. Huntington's agents, bears a false
hood upon the face when it labels Santa
Monica Heights tract, ''Jones and Baker,"
1t is reasonable to charge the Huntington
people with this falsehood, because it is
inconceivable that the Express would have
engaged deliberately in an effort to deceive
it's readers. Furthermore, The HERALD
has in it's possession a certificate from the
Title Guarantee and Trust company of this

Heights tract, of which Hood testified.

was his desire to make it in some respects
