OFFICIALS FAVOR IDEA
OF GROUPING BUILDINGS
DISCUSS PLANS FOR CREATING
PUBLIC SQUARE
Movement to Locate Municipal and
County Offices Near Federal Build
ing Site Is Fast Becoming Popular
With the Public

The proposition to group the public
buildings of the county and city of Los
Angeles near the new federal building
and court house sites is meeting with
favor on all sides, if opinions expressed
at the city hall are an indication of the
public view.
Mayor McAleer is understood to be
strongly in favor of the scheme, though,
as yet, he has not sent a message to
the council to this effect. That body
would like one to file.
The movement, which has been car
ried on under cover, and only the out
lines of which have leaked out, to pre-
sent the city with a site upon which a
suitable municipal building might be
constructed, is gaining recruits every
day.
Several prominent attorneys and busi-
ness men in discussing the question
yesterday, put themselves on record as
favoring it. Whether to put the city
hall where the Temple block now
stands, or across Spring street, is a
question which is eliciting discussion.
Many are of the opinion that the
building should be erected on the corner
of Spring and Temple Streets so that
it would be directly across Temple from
the grounds of the new postoffice and
across New High street from the
grounds of the court house. Thus
~
governmental buildings of this section
of the county would be together and
form a sort of square.

Statue of Late Senator

AS has been stated in The Herald. a
scheme is now on foot to plant the
statue of California's illustrious son,
the late Stephen M. White, in a little
park or plot of grass planted in the Y
formed by the intersection of Spring,
Temple and Main strets, instead of
the grounds of the county court house.
A number of the councilmen have de-
clared themselves in favor of this. The
plan will probably include the selling
Of the present city hall site and the
money thus obtained being used in the
building of a new city hall. A bond
issue may be necessary to meet a
deficit The plan to tear down the
present city hall and construct on the
site a new building ten or twelve stories
hight does not meet with the approval
of many of the councilmen.

ten feet deep with surface seventy
feet wide flowing at an average rate Of
two and half feet per second. In
places where deep cuts are necessary
the cuts are much narrower and the

PORTER WAS CROOKED.
Leaves With Team And is Badly
Wanted.

M. H. Porter, who came here from
Denver several months ago left some
time last Sunday with team and wagon
which he had bought from Mrs E. E.
Harding. He sold the team and wagon
in Montrose Monday for saddle and
horse and one hundred dollars and has
not yet been located.
He came here to take charge of the
steam laundry last October. claiming
to be laundry man. After he had
done considerable damage to the wear
ing apparel of Delta people it was dis
covered that he did not know the first
thing about running laundry and was
fired. He knocked about town for
few days borrowing "few" from the
boys now and then just to pay expenses
and finally bought the team and wagon
and went into business right. He gave
it out that he intended to buy about all
the hay in this section for speculative
purposes. With a glib tongue and an
unlimited amount of gall he secured
hay in small quantities from number
of people in this vicinity. When they
began to crowd him for the money he
"hiked." While he had only paid
about fifty dollars on the team and
wagon it is doubtful whether anything
could be done with him for selling it as
there is nothing but note against it
there being no chattle mortgage on
record. However, he made payments
last Saturday, drawing checks on the
bank where he had no funds. It is
pretty clear that his whole intent was
to defraud and swindle and if appre-
hended this will be the charge brought
against him. The team andwagon was
Sa1ns5 at S275. .

Battle Continues.

The news comes by way of Germany
that the Russian offensive movement
has not yet been completed, but con-
tinues to develop and the result cannot
be forecasted. The report which deals
largely with technical information with
out concentrations or descriptions,
affirm that the Russians have not at
tackled the Japanese left wing in force,
but that only skirmishes have taken
place on that wing and that the greater
part of four out of General Kuropatkin's
six army corps have so far taken part
in the demonstration.
