CHEERS FOR ASSASSIN
Climax in Chicago Meeting Of Social
lists and Anarchists.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-President McKin-
ley's assassin was cheered publicly
last night at a meeting in Mueller's
hall, $50 North avenue. The audience
was made up of Socialists and An
archists, and, while there were Kisses
for the rabid utterances, the cheers
and shouts OF approval predominated.
For two hours A. NJ. Simons editor of
the international Socialist Review, and
Abraham lsaak, editor of Free Society
and leader OF the Anarchists here
fought out the subject of Socialism
VS.. Anarchy" When Emma Gold
man came to Chicago after the Presi-
dents death she visited Isaak's home.
Simon's challenge from the plat
form that Anarchists dared not con-
done the crime at Buffalo was met
with vigorous You're liar"
Isaak declared openly he could not
condemn the assassin's act. He said
that to personal merit he took u sec
ond place to Czolgosz. The confes-
sion of Isaak was accompanied by
scene of intense excitement 1t was
the climax of the debate, and came
when the audience of over / 200 had |
been aroused thoroughly by wild
oratorcal denunciations.
"Hurrah for Czolgosz, shouted a
nan in the gallery, inging his hat
above his h. ad.
Kisses, ieers, yells of approval and
AT calls came from all parts of the
rouse. The crowd rose to its feet and
riot was only averted by the prompt
lctiOn of the chairman.

AGAINST AGREEMENT
Officers of All the Roads Not in Sym

Kansas City, Dec. 6.-It is possible
that the anti-pass agreement lof the
anti-pass agreement Of the roads east
OF Chicago and st. Louis may be
abrogated on account of the refusal
of some of the roads to be bound by
its provisions.
Officers of the Glover Leaf and of
the Cincinnati, Hamilton Il Dayton
have given notice that their companies
will not become parties TO the compact
which denies exchange passes to Off
GERS and agents of other lines. It is
reported that the Erie company also
will not be "a party to the agreement.
President Norton of the Glover
Leaf has sent a circular to all roads
in the country requesting passes for
officers and representatives OF his
system and requesting executive olii-
GERS Of other lines To send him lists of
names of officials and agents of their
lines for whom passes for 1902 are
wanted.
Ihe antl-pass agreement was largely
brought about by the Vanderbilt and
Pennsylvania interests. The manage
ments OF these systems have been
working for years for the abolition of
all pass privileges. Officers of the
Pennsylvania, particularly, have
made repeated attempts to secure un-
animous action on the question.

Washington, Dec. 6--Theresolution

A FURRY IN GRAIN
Corn and Wheat are Both Going uI
up Rapidly

Kansas City, Dec. 8.-The wave OF
speculation in grain reached new
high mark yesterday, and prices ad-
vanced all around. Corn in Kansas
City sold for seventy cents a bushel,
both for car lots on track and for
May delivery. Oats sold for fifty
cents. These extraordinary prices
mean that there is much greater def
cheney of feeding stutfs in the south
west than the average board OF trade
man has any idea of. The new corn
movement is under way, but instead
of coming to market in large enough
quantities to cause a drop in prices
the market goes on advancing with
country speculators still buying it and
feeders of live stock grabbing for it as
If each days receipts were the last
they would get a chance to buy. Corn
advanced nearly two cents in Kansas
City yesterday, and held cent of the
gain. There was rise of one and
half cent in the Chicago market, half
of which was held at the close.
The scarcity and high price of corn
has prompted the country traders to
buy wheat because it is relatively so
much cheaper than corn, ana because
the farmers in the winter wheat states |
are using many million bushels OF
wheat in place Of corn to feed live
stock. Many farmers raised wheat !
but produced no corn, and it is the |
natural thing for them to do. to feed
The wheat instead of paying extrava-
CANT prices for corn. So extensive
has this practice become that compar-
ltively little winter wheat is moving to

healthy, conservative market. AL vided and put on the market Land and lots are being bought for speculative purposes, and if the pub lie financial pulse of this country could be photographed, the result would be very similar to that of 1886, when the people were drifting into a speculative boom, but didn't know it.
 Sixth-PeOple are coming in from the east in larger numbers today than they ever have before at this season of the year, and during the tourist season of 1901-2 there will be more strangers in Southern California than ever before, not even excepting the period during the railroad rate war in 1886. A larger percentage of these people are now coming to stay than ever before. What does it mean?
 People can not make a speculative boom no more than they can make financial panic.
 People can not stop speculative boom any more than they can stop a financial panic.
 Panics and booms are the results of the laws of trade just as surely as rain is the result of climatic condi- tions. II
 Southern Cal -ornia is today in the swim. The era of speculation will have it's run. During that run great

great speculative craze connected with it orange groves are paying hand somely and the assurance is more solid than ever before that this in- dustry is on a solid and very remun- erative basis.
 Contributing the past year there has been inaugurated movement for the reclamation here in Southern California, of the largest tract of arid land ever reclaimed in the United States. This tract of 50O,00O acres known as the Imperial Settlements, under the Imperial Canal system, in the eastern portion of San Diego County, together with 30O.OOO acres more just across the line in Lower California, has an available water supply from the Colorado river greater than all the water to be found in all the irrigation systems of the State combined. This new country will furnish homes for 15O,OOO additional population, support several towns and cities, demand the building of more railroads, and furnish a field for profitable investment and speculation such as California has never had be- fore.
 Fifth-Real estate activity is today prevalent everywhere Real estate transactions have nearly quadrupled in volume in Los Angeles city during the past year and prices have ad- vanced as rapidly as is justified by a

panic of 1892. The results of that panic were far reaching and have but very recently given way to period of unparalleled business activity far exceeding that following the panic of 1873-so far as the commercial world is concerned.
 Second-As a result of this busi- ness activity, railroad building is again very active, especially in the western section of the United States, and particularly so far as Southern California is concerned This section of the State is to be the terminus of two additional trans-continental lines now building from Salt Lake City and probaLly one or two more via Yuma. In addition to this stand ard guage, trans-continental railroad construction, the HuntingtOn-Hell- man syndicate have just commenced work in a system of inter- urban electrical, rapid transit roads that will soon gridiron Southern Califor- nia in manner not equaled by any other portion of the country west of the Mississippi river. Several mill ions will be spent in this work during the next two years, and it will be stimulus for development such as this country has never seen before.
 Third-The orange industry is to- day on more solid foundation than ever before, and while there is no
Imperial press and farmer., 1901-11-23

development will be made in the in- dustrial condition of this country. During this period this country will become more wealthy and more densely populated. The country will be benefited. Some individuals will overreach themselves just as they did in 1886-7-8, and when the end comes they will drop with a dull, sickly thud, and they will won der what kind of a dream they have passed through.
 The end of this period of prosperity will come. Don't make any mistakes about it. Now is the time to make hay while the sun shines, but don't try to make too much hay.

as the coming place from which to market their fruits, and that where they sold their fruits they would probably buy their goods. With this slogan, they Cotained entrance to the leading papers of that city, and in terested the business men of the Western Metropolis.
 Fifth-SOuthern California was just beginning to show very large orange crop that was being marketed with great profit to the growers. No crop in the United States gave such re-. turns per acre. There were thousands of acres suited to the growth of the orange that was yet to be planted, and both citizens and new corners saw fortunes ahead m developing this field of industry.
 Sixth-The rapidity with which this work was pushed, the laying out of new towns on new lines of railroad, and the opening up of new sections by the building of those railroads, created the general feeling that Southern California had suddenly be- came the center of the universe. These conditions sent real estate prices up with rapidity that made the average Lead swim and hence the real estate boom which had vigorous but short run and then passed into history
 What are the conditions in 1901?
 First-The entire business world has just passed through the financial

by Southern California in the city of Chicago. For five weeks, this fair held the boards at Battery D. Armory in that city. and was daily visited by thousands of people many of whom
 became interested in Southern CalifOr- mia, and others, of course, came as matter of curiosity. One gentleman, after visiting that fair several times and getting all the information ob- tainab ble about this country, came out here and located. He was afterwards instrumental in bringing many valu- able citizens here to locate, together with hundreds of thousands of capital for investment. He was afterward sent to Congress from this District. The citrus fair management went be- fore the Chicago public with the prop osition that Southern California de- sired to open up markets for their great and increasing orange and lemon crops-that they looked to Chicago

ANOTHER REAL ESTATE BOOM
CONDITIONS OF 1901 COMPARED WITH THOSE OF 1886
 AND LESSONS DRAWN TFIEREFROM.
Does History Repeat Itself? Is Souhern California Entering Upon
 Another Period of Real Estate Speculation.
L. M. HOLT IN LOS ANGELES EXPRESS.

It is said that history repeats it. self. If this be true is it not possible that Southern California may soon experience another real estate boom such as took possession of this coun- try during the years 18S6-7-S? Such a period of business activity may not necessarily culminate in town lot craze, but real estate speculation may run wild without that crazy accom- paniment.
 Similar conditions are liable to pro- duce similar results. Let us compare the conditions of 1886 with those of 1901, and see wherein they resemble each other.
 In 1886 there were several impor- tant features that tended to create an active real estate market and busi- ness activity.
 First-The entire business world had passed through the financial panic of 1873-75 and had fully re-
Imperial press and farmer., 1901-11-23

covered from that depressed condi- tion which had lasted for several years. The tendency therefore was towards business expansion.
 Second-As result of this business expansion, railroad building was being pushed with great energy and during this railroad activity the Santa Fe system was extended to Southern Cali fornia, making it's temporary ter minus at San Diego. but little later making it's permanent terminus at Los Angeles, the growing commercial metropolis of Southern California.
 .Third-As result of extending the Santa Fe system of railroads to Southern California, friction between that system and the Southern Pacific precipitated that memorable rate war between the two roads which sent fares between Chicago and Los An geles down to $5 for the entire trip, and this rate war lasted for several months. Those cheap fares induced thousands of people to come to Cali fornia who would never have made the trip at regular rates. This influx of people broughl many who would have better remained at home; but it also brought many who have since become valuable citizens.
 Fourth-Just before the beginning of the rate war between the railroads, arrangements were completed for holding the first citrus fair ever held
