ANGRY CROWD FOLLOWS
OFFICER AND PRISONER
n. SMITH RESISTS ARREST AND
is BEATEN
Spectators Make Violent Demonstra-
tions, but Policeman Hackett De-
ties Them and Takes His Man to
Jail on Street Car

A riot was narrowly averted yester-
day morning when H. Smith, driver
for the Central Avenue planning mills,
was sent to the police station with "A
badly bruised head, inflicted by Patrol
man William Hackett.
1t is alleged that Smith was throwing
stones from the street into the yard OF
the planning mill, one of the stones
striking an employe, when the officer
ordered him to desist. Smith is said tC
have refused to obey the Instructions
of the policeman and declared his de-
sire to fight with the officer of the law
Seeing a dispute between the officer
and Smith a crowd quickly gathered
and threats were made by some of the
bystanders. When Hackett attempted
to arrest Smith a struggle ensued, in
which 1t was necessary for the police
man to use his club, which he finally
broke over Smiths head, rendering
him unconscious.
When it was learned that Smith was
unconscious a number of the men and
boys became very violent in their de-
monstratlons, 1t is said. As soon as
Smith regained consciousness, Hackett
hurried him to a street car and took
him to the police station, the threat
ening crowd following him until the
car was out of sight.

RAILROAD RATE
REFORM IS ISSUE
NEW YORK REPUBLICAN SAYS
PARTY is LAX
DEMOCRATS TO FORCE ACTION
Ex-Menber Of the Empire state Legls-
Iature Thinks the Present Con-
uress Will Decline to Take
Hand

Congress, in my opinion, will not
act on the question of government SUI
pervision of railroad rates at the COM
ing session, unless the president sees
ft and is strong enough to enforce ac-
tion.
New York state may be depended
upon to stand by the railroads, and If
there is any portion of the country that
should take the other view it is the
west. The western people are to play
a far larger part in this question than
1 believe they realize"
These were statements made yester-
day by ex-State Senator Philip Keck
of New York, who is in Los Angeles.
SHOULD congress be dilatory and re-
fuse to take any action on the subject
it will be left to the people to rise in
their might and demand redress. If it
comes to this, action may be necessar-
lily deferred for four or five years." con-
tinued Mr.. Keck.
''If congress fails to take action on
this subject, do you think it will be
made an issue in the next national
campaign" he was asked.
Democrats Not Lax
''I think that such will be probable
in the Democratic ranks" he replied.
!'I am Republican, but regret to say
that l fear the New York Republic
cans will make the attempt, with
probable success, of keeping it out of
our platform. The Republican organiz-
alton in New York will certainly pre-
vent it if such is possible.
Ex-Governor Odell, during his term
of office, in all his administrative work
sought to enhance the Hartman inter-
ests. Whether he will be powerful
enough to remain in control is a ques-
ton
''I believe the chances are even for
this question to be carried over to the
time of the next national election"
Mr.. Keck, as the representative of
the Gold and Cement syndicate of New
York and Boston, is in Los Angeles in
connection with the building of a con-
centrator on their properties located
near Golden, N. NJ. The Pneumatic
Concentrator company, in which Rust,
Merrill and DIR. Shumway of this city
are large stockholders, is the company
which is to have in hand the work.

CHEAP EASTERN RATES
ARE NOW IN EFFECT

Cheap excursion rates to the east
went into effect yesterday on the roads
entering Los Angeles, and the different
offices were kept busy in making out
transportation for those persons de-
sirous of leaving the soil Of California
behind them for a few months.
May has been an exceedingly dull
month in railroad circles and the pas
senger traffic Of the past thirty days
has fallen far below the record for the
same time last year, when the cheap
rates and the opening of the st. Louis
exposition proved a sufficient incentive
to create a large eastern travel. A
The Salt Lake route is proving
fayorite one for the excursionists and
the majority of the tourists are going
that way.
The present excursion rates will con-
tinue in effect until Tuesday, when
round trip tickets good for ten days
and selling at s35 will be placed on sale
for the exposition at Portland, which is
10 open June /.

RUSSIANS REINFORCED.
Troops at Mukden Said to Number
100000 Men-No Big Battle
Likely Soon.

Toxic, Jan. 23.-In well-informed
quarters here 1t is said that the Russian
army at Mukden was recently rein
forced by four divisions. Its present
strength is estimated at nine army
corps, or 100000 men OF all arms. Gen.
Kuropatkins headquarters are at Fong
mountain in close touch with the (Muk-
DEM Fushun. line. The Russians late
ly have heavily strengthened their
wings. At present two and one-half
divisions are facing Gen. Oku, two corps
are before Gen. Nodzu and the greater
strength of three corps confronts Gen.
Kuroki and guards the coal mines in
the vicinity Of the Fushun valley. Be-
tween the opposing armies is network
Of trenches. Kuroki's outposts are
within 500 yards of the Russians en-
trenched along the line OF ridges near
Kwantalien mountain. Cannonading
and rifle firing are constantly taking
place, but owing to the intense cold
there seems to be no immediate likeli-
hood of a great battle.
