If you have not 1 have the figures
to show that since January 1, 1905,
over $500,000 worth of property has
been sold on Los Angeles street, north
of Tenth street as far as Requena.
Does this alarm you, or does it attract
your attention? 1 can tell you that
big things are doing on that street,
and to complete the record I can add
that during the fall of 1904 an equal
amount of property was sold.
AS to the causes for this tremendous
movement I can only say that Los
Angeles is the legitimate wholesale
street Of the city and that every firm
doing business in the great southwest
and in Old Mexico from this point
has its splendidly equipped store on
street on Monday, when trucks and
wagons are carting away tons Of goods
and you will see the pulsating heart of
commercial Los Angeles in all of its
activity.
Every firm of any prominence is
seeking quarters on that street and
from what I have learned the march
to that street has only begun, be-
cause bigger things are yet to come.
And among these things I can men,

PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEE
MAKES A STATEMENT

Boston, April IA statement was
made public today by the prudential
committee Of the American board Of
commissioners for foreign missions
which yesterday voted 20 accept 500 O0O
offered to the board by John D. Rookie.
Teller. Two weeks ago the prudential
committee adopted the report Of sub
committee recommending the accept
anc Of the money but I'm view Of the
strong protest made by the ConErega-
tional clergy final action was deferred
until yesterday, when supplementary
report was made by the sub-commit.
tee This report together with that OF
two weeks ago was adopted. The sup
Elementary report which was made
public today takes up the objections
Of the protestants and'assorts that they
are not sufficient 10 prevent the board
from accepting the money, zone Of the
principal points raised IN the report is
the claim oS the committee that the
American board cannot now legally re-
turn Mr. Rockefellcrs money because
the decisions Of the highest court nre
10 the effect that trustees who have
once accepted a gift and assumed cer-
tain obligations have no power 10 re-
turn the gift and to absolve themselves
from those obligations The commit
tee holds that by returning the gift, as
suggested by the protesting clergvmcn,
the American board would be made re-
sponsible not only to those for whose
heneit the gift was designed, but also
10 the present officers successors. This
statement refers 10 the fact that the
board already has used one-half of Mr..
Rockefellcr's gift, which had been ar-
tually accepted on February a. Tho
committee holds that the action pro-
posed by the protcstants, namely. the
return Of the Gift would have been
wrong. Tor II would have expressed dis
appreciation and condemnation of n
man when he was doing an act Of be-
ncvolenCc.'
The committee says
This would have been TO confuse
the Issue and 10 act contrary 10 tho
Christian spirit, To prevent any man
from doing good Is q wrong way I'm
which To- condemn him for evil. II Is as
wrong to condemn him when he Is do
ing good deed az TO commend him
when he is doing bad deed"
The committee also contends that the
board Is not organized 20 decide qucs-
lions OF temperance, economy or social
ism, II Is held that the return OF tho
money would be the passing of iudg.
ment upon tho character Of the donor
and the business methods he IL alleged
10 have used and that this would he
n wrong TO the church ~ which he Is q
member. The committee adds;
