missioner of the Santa Fs railway, has
been making a tour OF observation In
Arizona and Southern California for the
past few weeks, and expresses himself
as well pleased with tbs resources and

the company will do ell it can to enable
people TO market their goods aud pro-
duce by sffording good transportation
facilities and low freight rates. TIE

the road will be to educate the people
as to the best crops to plant under the
peculiar conditions of soils and climates
prevailing in the different sections Mr..

COMPTON'S DEFENSE
Many Witnesses Testify in Favor of
the Alleged Forger

number Of witnesses subpoenaed
by the defense were heard yesterday in
department one in the forgery case for
which Charles Compton is now being
tried. The first one was Police Officer
F. NJ. Fowler who arrested Ware at
Long Beach While he was trying to make
believe that he had jumped into the
sea to drown his remorsc. The officer
received Wares admission of guilt. but
at that time no mention of Compton was
made by his prisoner. James Burdett
testified that the deed which Expert
6eaver had sworn to be in Compton's g
handwriting had been written by him
self in August Mrs. Reinod. a real
Estate agent, denied that she had ever
seen Compton with Howard and Ware
while they wer attempting to raise
money on the land described in the
deed.
Henshaw Horny, Frank p. Nichols
William Hoffman and F. G. c. Irving. all
prisoners in the county Jail, gave evi-
dence tending to show that Ware had
approached them to put up a Job on
Compton in connection with the alleged
forgery.
Nestor A. Young, an expert, and e. c.
Hine. deputy city treasurer, both tes-
.if1ed that the writing in the deed and
that OF Compton, with which they were
familiar. were not the same. The latter

THE TEN BLOCK SYSTEM
ITS ADOPTION URGED BY TEE
BOARD OF PUBLIC TRADE
Cogent Reasons Presented to the
Supervisors Showing That There
Is Need Of It

The board Of trade yesterday present.
ed a petition to the supervisors in con-
nection with the Ten Block" system of
numbering country houses. Several
weeks ago another petition had been
filed asking that committee of five cit
izens be appointed, to serve without re-
muneration to take up the matter Of ar
ranging the roads in Los Angeles county
in suitable lengths for naming, ETC., but
the board of supervisors, on account Of
the depleted condition OF the road fund,
| declined to take action. The board Of
trade believes that the entire expense Of
the preliminary work to be entrusted
to committee of five would not exceed
$3.50, after which the supervisors could
decide whether the work should be con-
tinued.
other things, the petitioners say:
We are sure that it is needless 20 en-
large upon the necessity for adopting
some system for naming and numbering
country roads; every one who is called
upon to use the same realizes that, more
and more, as the roads increase in num-
Der and length, and the population in
the country Immediately surrounding us
becomes more dense. The system re-
ferred to is a simple one, neither diff
cult nor expensive to establish; and ii,
after receiving the preliminary report
from the committee of citizens, you
should decide to establish the same, the
work would be done and the expense in
CURED gradually. 1t would not be a
heavy burden to carry, and the work
would have to be done but once.
There is one feature of this case which
is of the very gravest Importance to
residents in the country districts. In
other communities where country roads
and houses have been made easy of ac-
cess by the adoption of the means sug-
gested here, the postoffice department
has followed up the improvement by dis
tributing mail to the residents upon such
roads. Should this be the result here
which is more than likely-the benefit to
our growing county and it's country res
idents would be incalculable If your
honorable body will consider this side
of the question alone, we feel assured
that you will be ready to further the
movement by every means in your
power.
In conclusion the board of trade urges |
immediate action by the appointment of
a committee to take charge Of the pre-
liminary work.
