REPROVES REED
FOR PUBLICITY
PRESIDENT SM0THERS CANAL
REPORT
SAYS CHARGES UNSUPPORTED
Secretary Taft Makes Explanation Of
lsthnIan AhaIrs-Dld Not Con-
sent to Publication Of
Matter
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 21.--secretary
Taft today made public letter which
he has written to the president con-
cerning complaints made by DIR. C. A.
L. Reed, regarding the work of the
isthmian canal commission. In the
course of his letter Secretary Taft said
that many of the things complained Of
troll of the canal under one head, or
at least under a commission composed
of not more than three members. He
added that he would submit to the
president in a short time a plan for
the Encouragement of the commission.
Following are extracts from the sec
retarys letter and of the presidents
reply. thereto:
"The President: 1 herewith transmit
the answer Of the commission to the
c. A. L. Reed to me as to the sanitary
provisions made by the isthmian canal
commission on the isthmus.
"Dr. Reed visited the isthmus at my
request to act as an assessor of land
upon commission provided by the
treaty between Panama and the United
States.
1T is probable that had he taken
more time he would have been more
measured in his criticism, less extreme
n of &c IL,
his references to the action of the COM
mission. The report of DIR. Reed was
published without my knowledge or
consent.
1T is doubtless true that there have
been undue delays in the furnishing of
what was needed for sanitary purposes
on the isthmus, but 1 venture to think
that it Is due rather to the inherent
clumsiness of the commission as an
executive body than the willful or nom
attention of any member of that body.
1.-THE remedy for the delays which
may have occurred here, it seerus "
me, are to be found in a rearrange-
ment of the commission, with new
distribution of powers and the con-
ferring of the executive on one or at
the most not more than three members
of the commission.
with your permission | will submit
in day or two a plan for the better
carrying out of the work of the COM
mission, which may be embodied in a
new series of instructions. Respect
fully yours,
civilian H. TAFT,

HURLED TO DEATH BY
SWIFT ELECTRIC CAR
Compton Farmer Instantly Killed by
Coach on Long Beach
;s'+s%S4+@ss4%4s@4 4+s4@s@44+..

Line
James Muckols, a farmer living about
half a mile north of Compton, was
struck and instantly killed by Pacific
Electric railway car on the Long
Beach line shortly after o'clock last
evening. His body was thrown fifty
feet and when the motorman of the
car reached him Muckols was dead.
Muckols had been to Compton on
business and was returning home when
the accident occurred. According to
the story of the motorman running the
car which struck him, Muckols was
walking along between the tracks. and
when the whistle of the car was blown
to give warming he was apparently Sc
cure from danger.
Just as the car reached him Muckols
either became confused or was uncon-
scious of any danger, for he stepped
upon the track. His body was struck
by the fender with terrific force and
hurled through the air.
The man leaves a widow and one
child. He was we'll known in Comp
ton, having owned a small ranch
there for many yeaiS. Muckols was
a member of the Modern Woodmen and
Red Men societies and carried insur-
ance in both organizations.

At the same time, a woman darted at
her from the shade of tree and quick
ly relieved her of her valuables.
When the robbery was reported at
the police station speculation was rife
as to the identity of the woman rob
ber. Her daring and nerve which bore
her through the robbery also served
to throw the detectives off the track.
For some time Mrs. Gilbert worked
on the case and was rapidly reaching
a solution of it when the arrest of the
young couple on the other charge was
effected.
when the officers turned this young
woman over to my care, as in all cases,
| talked with her and soon learned the
details of the burglary of which she
was charged and for which she took
all the blame in attempting to shield
her lover" said Mrs. Gilbert yesterday.
Il Immediately came to the conclusion
that the girl was the one connected
with the hold-up case and began to
question her. She accidently betrayed
herself and then broke down and con-
fessed."
1t was learned yesterday that no
marriage existed between the young
man, Eugene II. Allen, and the girl,
Nino Goode. as was at first supposed.
Allen met the girl in Los Angeles
several months ago and, although she
was of a refined family, she became in
fatuated with him and went to live
at a room furnished by him on North
Hill street. From that time on her
troubles were many. Allen, the lover,
unable to control himself, expended
every cent he could get his hands on
at the race track. When the money
was gone he whined for more.
Did Companions Bidding
1t Is said that the girl was made to
bend to the will of the man with whom
she was infatuated, and was led to
commit the hold-up and later the rob
berry. Detectives Hawley and Murphy,
who made the arrests. say the young
woman entered the school building at
the orders of Allen and passed out the
typewriters to him.
The young man and woman appeared

dressed to the Los Angeles chamber of
commerce and to the Municipal league,
telling the good points of the Decarie
system, but as far as came out in the
hearing no kilograms had been sent or
received in regard to other systems.
Councilman Smith made a persistent
fight for what he termed the protection
OF the city's interests He said he was
not alleging that the Decarie incinera.

Gilman, "and we will not be doing it If

GARBAGE BIDS

DEFINITE RESULTS
COMPETITION OPEN TO ALL
Readvertlsement ls Ordered by coun-
ell After Learning Of Apparent
Discrepancy In Prices Of
Apparatus

Disclosure by The Herald yesterday
morning of the fact that the Decarie
company had recently built in Atlanta,
Ca, garbage destruction plant for
s31 800 which is identical in every way,
according to the statement of a De-
carrie representative, with the one which
the company desired to install for the
city Of Los Angeles for $7O,S64, caused
a change of plans when the committee
of the whole of the city council con-
vened to consider the subject of gar
bage destruction plants.
The Herald was quoted repeatedly
by speakers who demanded that more
time be given in order that other
firms desiring to bid might have the
opportunity of doing so and that other
systems might be investigated, and the
same speakers complimented The
Herald upon the stand which 1t had
taken on the subject, declaring that
in this 1t stood for the best interests
of the city.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-22


in this 1t stood for the best interests
of the city.
All Bids Rejected
30 persistent was the fight of Coun-
Gilman Smith, backed by Councilmen
Hitler and Houghton, for the rejection
of all bids received and a re-advertise-
ment with thirty days time in which
bids were to be submitted, that after
long and heated session the bids
were rejected and the city clerk in
structed to advertise for bids under
the same specifications, bids to be in
and accompanied by certified check
for $500 thirty days from date Of ad-
vertisement.
This conclusion was reached only
after long and at times bitter wrangle,
but when the question came to a vote
but two of the seven councilmen pres
ent voted may"
Councilman Blanchard was made
chairman of the committee of the
whole and called the committee to or
der, after which the representatives of
struction plants were heard. The rep
resentative of the Dundon Iron works
of San Francisco showed that there are
as yet five months before the garbage
destroying contract expired, and that
at the outside but three months would
be required to construct a plant, and
he argued that the council had ample
time to investigate systems existing in
this country, and those in operation
in England through the consul general
in London.
Several of the speakers, arguing
against the city entering into a con-
tract of such great Importance prac-
tically without investigation of but one
system, wanted to know why the
Municipal league and other organiza-
tions, since they had taken it upon
themselves to investigate the garbage
business, had looked into but one sys-
tenn, when there are a number of sys-
TENS in successful operation in the
country.

No enterprise has met with greater success in Douglas than the Copper City Brewery, which practically began operations with the beginning of the present year. MT. H. N. Reno, the manager of the company, now states that owing to the fact that he was un- able to meet the demand made upon him for his product during the sum- mer just passed that he has planned to greatly increase his product for the next beer season.
 The brew plant was originally built with the view of increase in the amount of business which could be secured for the enterprise. There was a hurried addition to the amount of storage capacity last spring, but with this it was found necessary to refuse orders in the month of July owing to inability to fill them.
 The additions to the storage ca. pacity to be put in during the coming winter will amount to about 50 per cent The present storage capacity amounts to 2500 barrels, and it is in tended to increase it to 4000 barrels
 The bottling works in connection with the brewery was also unable to keep up with the demand for bottled beer during the last season. and this plant will be doubled in capacity.
 The product of this brewery has proven to be very popular, and next year, with the proposed increased ca- pacity. it will be pushed into new markets. The Copper City Brewery is the only beer manufactory in southern Arizona, and the only other brewery in the territory is in Prescott.
