CHICAGO, March 13.-Rumors today
indicate that the coming investigation
of the federal grand jury into the beef
trust will turn into a battle royal of
the trust against the Schwarzschild .S
Sulzberger company and other inde-
pendents. The Sulzbergers are sup
posed to have acted independently of
the trust since Judge Grosscup's in
junction was issued and to have done
many things in the trade inimical to
the trust. Inspired information from
Washington is that the SchwaNzchild
& Sulzberger company is in danger of
being caught in the tolls of the grand
jury and the big five" is disposed 20
help the case against the firm.
In this connection it is reported ths
''Big five" recently made an offer of
10000, 900 for Schwarzschild & Sulzber-
gers interests. This offer was refused
and the "Big five" thereupon decided,
to fight.
The Independents naturally will side
with Sulzbergers. Some of their prom
to give the grand jury information
they consider valuable.
Over two hundred witnesses have
been summoned to appear before the
grand jury, which begins its delibera-
tions week from today.
The beef trust representatives deny
they are fighting the Schwarzschild Sc
Sulzberger company, but it is believed

With a rumble and roar, carrying
tons of wreckage in its wake, the Los
Angeles river dashed out of its bank
early yesterday morning and, leaping
upon the piers and supports of the
Seventh street bridge, hurled the struc-
ture into the water, completely demol-
ishng it and sweeping fourteen pedes-
trians from the bridge into the water.
Two young men were drowned, their
feeble efforts to save their lives prov
ing of no avail against the dashing
waters Their lifeless bodies were car
ried on down stream and have not as
yet been recovered.
Six other victims occupy cots at the
receiving and emergency hospitals.
while others are at their homes, re-
tanning the memory of an experience
the shock of which may remain with
them for life.
The accident occurred shortly after
o'clock, just after number of people
had arrived at the bridge to view the
waters of the river as they piled high
against the structure, carrying along
many logs, shakes and planks. A
number of workmen were on the bridge
watching the unusual violence of the

SEARCH FOR MURDERERS
st. Louis Police Hope to Find SIayers
of Mrs. MiIburn
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, March 13.-Chief of De-
tectives Desmond today began a
search for the murderers of Mrs. Nancy
Milburn, whose body was found on
the sands at Ocean Park, near Los
Angeles, Cal, February 26. Dhe local
officer is in communication with the
authorities who are working on the
Los Angeles end of the affair, and It
is thought by all concerned that the
criminals who perpertrated the crime
are headed this way, if they have not
already been here since it was COM
mitted
Just before Chief Desmond an
nounced his determination to COM
mence a search for the criminals in
this vicinity he received a visit from
w. A. Glore, brother. and John Deit-
rich, brother-in~law of the murdered
woman. New clews were laid before
the chief, but he declined to state their
nature.
One thing which Glore and DIETRICH
asked Chief Desmond, was to locate
Mrs. N. E. Smell Baker, who was as
sociated with Mrs. Milburn in the man
agement of the Altamont Heights tent
city. The relatives of the dead real
estate dealer think Mrs. Baker may
be able to shed some light on the
enemies of Mrs. Milburn.
The detectives are also seeking n
mysterious male friend with whom
Mrs. Milburn is said to have had busi-
ness dealings. 1t is expected that
when he is found one phase of the
mystery will be cleared up.

To Regulate MonopoIies

Some months ago the council in
structed the city attorney to draw up
ordinances which should regulate these
monopolies, and the ordinances were
presented to the council, but they were
handled charity and finally buried in
the committee of the whole, where they
rested peacefully until yesterday morn
ing, when the committee held a ten
minutes session and reported as fol-
lows:
Having had under consideration the
several ordinances regulating the rate
for telephone, electricity and gas ser
vice, we beg to report as follows: That
the city attorney be instructed to pre-
pare and present one ordinance COW
ering telephone companies. electric
light and gas companies.
"That upon presentation of such
ordinance the same be Immediately
considered with view to its passa ge."
The report was at once adopted. In
the afternoon the city attorney pre-
sented an ordinance containing all of
the points of the three previous ordl-
nances, and it was Immediately con-
sidered

WOMAN 'SCOLLEGE
FOR LOS ANGELES
EDUCATORS MAY FOUND NEW
INSTITUTION
Congested Condition of Stanford and
Berkeley May Be Relieved by
! Segregation, Girls Attend-
ing in Local School E

Shall Southern California have a col
lege for women?
This is the question which is being
discussed in educational circles. Ger
tain prominent and influential men
have taken. steps toward securing an
answer and with this in view a meet
ing has been called for Thursday even
ing at the Westminster hotel.
DR.. Norman Bridge, who is one of
the promoters of the plan, is in posses
sion of two letters, one from Benjamin
Ide Wheeler of the University of Cali
fornia, and the other from David Starr
Jordan of Stanford. The letters both
lege presidents with the movement and
set forth reasons why such college is
necessary.
The crowded condition of the state
university as we'll as of Stanford is,
they contend, sufficient ground for the
establishment of college which will
be for women only, allowing the men
to have free scope in the northern in
stitutions.
A woman, who is an alumna of an
eastern college and is interested in
this movement, said yesterday:
Men Crowded Out
ut is something which is bound to
come up for consideration sooner or
Iotor o,,5 ie oO ad,,oatiopoI prohIa,O
which we cannot shirk. The desire for
higher education is becoming so pre-
valent among women that the applica-
tions for entrance into the state uni
versities are getting more numerous
all the time. This necessarily means
the crowding out of the men.
"The University of Chicago had to
try the system of segregation. North
western university has also faced the
problem and discussed reactionary
measures.
"The problems which have to be
faced here in California are essentially
the same as those which have been
met in the east. Co-education destroys
to a certain extent, the close friend
ships between men and this is detrl-
mental to the qualities which a man
will need in business life. Social dis
fractions are more or less apt to enter.
The time has come when women are
considering the real trend of the COM
petition with men and they realize that
certain influences are impossible in a
co-educational college,"
Bishop Joseph Johnson, who is an
other of the promoters, says that as
yet the plans are somewhat visionary,
but hopes that after the meeting of
Thursday evening they will be given
definite shape.
Many prominent people Of Pasadena.
as we'll as Los Angeles, are interested
In the founding of a woman's college.

No Hitch in Passage

Without hitch the ordinance was
passed on a motion by DR.. Houghton,
seconded by Councilman Harmon. The
ordinance provided that the price of
gas and electric light and telephone
service should be regulated every year,
and on a motion by Councilman Smith
it was determined that the various
the council the first day of January
each year, and that the rates should
be fixed the first day of February.
Councilman Blanchard moved that
the new rates should go into effect
July 1st OF each year and these dates
We're inserted in the ordinance.
The fee to be paid the gas, electric
meter and telephone inspector was
fixed at 81.
The ordinance provides "That the
minimum Illuminating and heating
power and quality of gas supplied to
the city of Los Angeles or the inhabi-
tants thereof by any person., firm or
corporation engaged in the business of
supplying or distributing gas, to said
city or the inhabitants thereof is here

ating quality of 16 candle power, with
gross heat value of $50 British

sion is this; Every electric lamp fur

gagged in supplying electricity to the

1t might be we'll for members of the
legislature and the fiscal officers OF
the State to remember that the rail
roads have not yet acquiesced in the
four per cent gross earnings tax, and
it is hardly safe to make large extra
ordinary appropriations in anticipa-
ton of the increased revenue that
will be derived from the railroads.
We believe that in the end the courts
will sustain the four per cent law, and
we also believe the railroads will con-
test to the court of last resort the
right of the State to increase the rate
of taxation from three to four per
cent.

If the State can manufacture bind

time save the farmers thousands of
dollars annually, and it does, there
is no good reason why the State can
not utilize it's convict labor in the

matter is worthy of consideration by
the legislature although it has not

THE PEOPLES FRIEND.

G.. A. Smith of Minneapolis who
served his apprenticeship under the
tutelage Of the late Governor Pills
bury, was an apt pupil. He has grad
uated from common coachman to
the front ranks of the multi-million-
aire lumber barons. Mr.. Smith is
one of John Lind s best clients. Can
the reader see any connection between
Smith and Lind in the annexed para
graph? Smith has been engaged for
years in dickering for climber home
steads." He boasts that he is the
proud possessor of billions of feet of
timber on the Pacific slope that cost
him less than ten cents per thousand.
Where is the sense of dealing with
four "homesteaders,'' when you can
cover as much territory by negotiat-
ing with one? Here is the paragraph
referred to which appeared in the St..
Paul Pioneer Press of the LIST inst:
''The sincerity of John Lind's pre-
tensions to a dominating friendship
for the people is illustrated by his
appearance as one of the principal
advocates of the land-grabbers bills
increasing the amount of land which
may be taken up under homestead
claim from 100 to $40 acres. As re-
peatedly shown, this measure is con-
trived solely to play into the hands of
those seeking to establish baronial
estates and to shut out the small farm
er and home-b builder. An expert
landshark, employing say twenty
men to locate "homesteads" for him,
may in a very few years, under the
laws favored by Lind, become abso-
lutte owner Of 1880 acres of good
land.''
We may be all wrong in our sur
misses. ''Honest" John Lind is an
honorable man! He may have been
actuated by the best of motives in vot-
ing for the land -grabbers' bill. But
lit looks snspicious!'' .

every year.

There is one live country newspaper
man in the State house of representa-
tives; he halls from Fergus Falls and
his name is Elmer Adams. Elmer has
some old-fashioned ideas. Among
other things he believes that when he
purchases 1000 feet of lumber he
ought to receive 1000 and not 900
feet. In other words, he believes a
piece of 2x4 lumber should be two
inches by four inches, and not 15$ by
81 inches; that an inch board should
be an inch and not seven-eighths of
an inch in thickness. Elmer embodies
his views in a bill, and after a siren
uous fight with the friends and para
sites of the lumber barons succeeded
in getting the measure through the
house. The bill should pass the
senate and become a law.
