his fidelity TO the purposes Of the committee
and his untring energy made many converts to
The TWO State proposition. and he is convinced

The opposition. on the other hand, thinks II

The enactment of q bill admitting Oklahoma

the last member OF his committee TO yield his

visibility Of passing the TWO State measure,
and he has never permitted his former views to
diminish the energy with which he has sup
ported The committee measure.
II Is argued that IL the opposition attempts

SENATOR CLARK
ARRIVES IN CITY
MEETS OFFICIALS OF SALT
LAKE ROAD
Concessions to Be Made to Secure
Santa Fe's Switching Tracks
Discussed, but Little Is
Accomplished

United States Senator William A.
Clark of Montana, president of the salt
Lake railroad, arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday morning in his private car,
coming direct from New York city,
after having spent about two months
in Europe.
The senator spent most of his time
Yesterday in company with the Salt
Lake officials, discussing the conces-
sions which the line will make to the
Santa Fe to secure the use of the lat
ter roads switching tracks here, but
he refused last night to give out any
thing concerning what had been ac-
complished.
Engineer Cross and Conductor Beach
were in charge Of the special train
which brought Mr. Clark to the Salt
Lake depot The senator's new pri-
vate car, POOL" is one of the finest in
the United States.
Mr.. Clark is accompanied by his
brother, j. Ross Clark, second vice
president of the Salt Lake; General
Passenger Agent Gilett, superinten-
dent Cullen and his private secretary,
j. II. Anderson.
Mr.. Clark stated that the branch of
the Salt Lake that is being constructed
to Bullfrog will be built as expedi-
tiously as possible, and that it will be
well under way by the first of next
month.
Regarding present conditions in the
United States he said: I'VE have never
before seen such prosperous times as
we are enjoying at present. Europe
is seemingly in the same condition,
with the exception of Russia. They
seem to fear that another French rev.
olution may be re-enacted.
The future of the United States is
safe. The Tightening of the New York
money market is a local affair that
will soon clear UP. The cattle trust
seems to be the only molester of the
peace. Beef cannot be bought in the
market a bit cheaper than it could be-
fore the price of cattle dropped almost
40 per cent.
THE investigation of the trusts and
the life insurance companies seems to
have had a good effect upon the whole
United States. and believe that such
matters will be probed until this coun.
try will see brighter day than it has
yet witnessed"

PLAN WARD CIVIC ALLIANCES
Improvement Associations Appoint
Delegates to Form Organizations
Throughout City

Further arrangements were made
last night for forming a Sixth Ward
Civic alliance when, at a meeting OF
the Central Avenue Improvement as
sociation, it was unanimously decided
to take steps toward forming such an
alliance and the following delegates
were appointed: d. o. Freeman, w
T. Dalton and w. H. Chalender.
On Monday night of next week the
South Side Improvement association
will hold a meeting at Moneta and
Vernon avenues, and, after hearing an
outline of the plan of the work by
President A. A. Bayley of the Second
Ward alliance, will probably appoint
three delegates.
The Vernon Improvement associa-
tion will appoint three delegates
through its president, w. c. Newman
On Tuesday night the Ninth Street
Improvement association will hold a
meeting at Wilson and Ninth streets
and will appoint three delegates.
These delegates will meet In con-
junction with the delegates from the
other associations to form the Sixth
Ward Civic alliance
After the alliance is complete in this
ward an alliance will be formed in
the First ward and will be extended
to the other wards In turn. When al
liances are in working order in all of
the wards they will band together into
a municipal civic alliance.
Mr.. Bayley said last night that after
the municipal alliance is complete the
Chamber of Commerce, Municipal
league, Merchants and Manufacturers
association and the Central Labor
council would be invited to join them.
He expressed himself in favor of such
q plan,

Wornen's Clubs
Friday Morning Club

Mrs. Morris Cohen, the popular and
talented member of the Friday Morn
ing club who so often entertains the
members in various ways, gave a
morning of songs at the meeting yes
terday which proved one of the most
delightful programs of the season.
Mrs. Cohen has a beautiful voice and
the selections chosen from Schumann,
Wagner Robert Franz, Rubinstein and
Strauss were especially suited to her
clear sweet tones. Natorp Blumenfeld,
the violinist who has been delighting
the musical public of Los Angeles
since his arrival from Europe, con-
tributed three solos, each of them re-
ceiving merited APPLAUSE.
Miss Blanche Rogers was at the
piano.
The committee of twenty-one ap-
pointed to consider sites for a new
club house gave a brief report which
was taken under asvisement, to be
discussed at the next meeting.
The book committee will have charge
of the program next week and books
old and new will be the subjects of
talks by Mrs. H. r. Boynton and Mrs.
7. Bruce Wetherby. Miss Olive Per
cival will speak on illustrated Books.

MUCH BUSINESS HANDLED
BY MINING CONGRESS
TELEGRAMS OF THANKS SENT TO
ROOSEVELT AND DIAz
Executive Committee Empowered to
Elect One Honorary Member Each
Year-Committee Amends Its De-
cision in Rock Drilling Contest
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Ell PASO, Tex, Nov. 17.-Today was
a busy one in the American Mining con-
gress. Secretary Galbreath's report
was read, amendments to bylaws
adopted and much other work of i'm
portance was cleared up. kilograms
were sent to President Roosevelt ex-
pressing thanks for the interest he has
shown in mines and miners and to
President Diaz for the fair treatment
miners and other foreigners investing
in Mexico have received. The congress
defeated proposition to increase mem
bership dues from $5 to $40 and held
that all delegates, whether they had
paid membership fee or not, could
vote on the proposed amendments. The
recommendation that the president
should name committee at each ses-
sion of the congress to elect an execu-
tive committee was not favored, the
delegates holding that the congress
should have the privilege of electing
the committee. The proposition to have
each state elect a member to the resolu-
tions committee hereafter instead of
having a representative named by the
president was adopted. An increase of
from $50 to $1OO was made in the dues
for life membership.
The executive committee was empow-
cred to elect one honorary member
yearly, Associate members, not actual
miners, will be admitted to member
ship hereafter upon payment of the
membership fee and 81 yearly. Control
of the association is to be vested in a
board of directors consisting of nine
members, three for one year. three for
two years and three for three years in
the first election and three to be
elected annually after that date. To-
morrow the election Of officers will be
held.
The next place of meeting will be an
nounced by the directors Saturday and
will probably be Phoenix, Ariz., as the
convention has already expressed itself
in favor of that city. The committee
judging the rock-drilling contest to-
night filed an amendment to it's de-
cision this morning, which was rem.
dered in favor of Chamberlain and
Make of Mexico. Make is declared to
have struck several blows after the
call of time. The men are credited with
the same record as that made in yes
terday's drilling by the Page brothers,
SO 1916 inches. Tomorrow the two
leading teams will drill for the cham
pionship, the prize for which is a purse
of $1,000 and the FL Paso cup.
