HIGHLY
OF Los ANGELES
S. M. Van Horn of First National Bank
of New York First Made Local
Securities Marketable
in the East

-Four years ago I made it possible
for savings banks in New York state
to invest in Los Angeles municipal
bonds, and after a careful study of the
conditions which obtain in this city at
the present day 1 cannot see wherein
erred in the slightest particular" Thus
did S. NJ. Van Horn, manager of the
bond department of the First National
bank of New York. show his approval
of Los Angeles and all that pertains to
Los Angeles.
"In 1901 I was connected with the
firm of Farson & Leach. one of the
large bond houses of the east; the firm
had subscribed to and bought the issue
of Los Angeles for the purpose of buy
ing and maintaining the waterworks
for the municipality. AS the laws of
New York then were no savings bank
in that state could buy municipal bonds
of cities having a population of less
than 100000 inhabitants. That law
would debar them from buying any
bonds from Los Angeles. But L and
my colleagues felt that this law barred
the savings banks from making many
profitable investments, so we did all in
our power to pass a law which would
remedy that state of affairs.
"And this we finally did. But before
we succeeded in passing that bill it was
necessary for us to convince the gov
ernor and both houses that Los Angeles
was not a mushroom town liable to dis
appear in a night. And so opportun-
tiles for investment in Los Angeles
bonds were given to New York savings
banks.
81 have been able to spend in Los An
geles only tithe of the time which I
would like to, but in the time have
been here 1 have observed that this
town has more snap and hustle to it
than any other that ever visited

with vaseline."
On cross examination Mrs. Miles was
somewhat confused as to minor details
but in the main did not vary her direct
testimony.
officer Hoover testified, but his testi-
nony was much the same as that of
officer Henderson. Mr.. Jolly was re-
called to the stand in an effort to as
certain who removed the box from the
cellar, but he was unable to enlighten
the court on this point
Attorney Willis asked the court to
dismiss the case. but Justice Chambers
asked Attorney Keyes what tie prose-
cution had to say. Attorney Keyes
merely stated that he believed that
there was sufficient evidence to hold
Mrs. Yager, but acknowledged that the
evidence was circumstantial and not
very definite.
Justice Chambers said that there was
much evidence lacking and positively
no evidence to show that either Mrs.
wager or Mrs. Jolly were connected
with the crime

"Could you distinguish at that dis
tance it's color?"
mo. I could only tell it was paper
money. 1 mean that it looked like
paper money. 1t may have been other
paper of that shape and color"
"Then, being at a distance of sixty
feet, with the larger of two men OBJ
scuring the other, and a misty, foggy
night with the sun gone down, you saw
something pass you thought was paper
money, did you not?"
"I did. But had a diagonal view of
the men, who were standing on the
edge of the sidewalk"
Just before the noon recess Mr.. john
son asked: ':
Before the senate committee you
testified that you were sure you had
not made a note of the time Emmens
was paid, and you now say you did
make such a note. Which is true and
how do you account for your answers?"
Several answers were declared unre-
sponsive before the witness said:
81 don't believe I did. 1 referred on
the first occasion to note made of the
time they left Hanlon's saloon"
At this point the noon recess was or
dered.
Hartley resumed in the afternoon and
testified that he had resided in Kern
county for over three years under his
own name and in thes employ of the
Morse Detective agency. Then Mr..
johnson made one Of his sudden shifts
of attack and extracted an admission
that Hartley during the noon recess
had talked over his testimony with the
district attorney and Tichenor. He
added that he had read his testimony
given before the senate committee and
at the Bunkers trial since he was sum-
moned as a witness, but merely to re-
fresh his memory
Hartley testified that he had not
known Jordan's name prior to seeing
him enter the house at 1107 Seventh
street. In reply to questions, he con-
| tinued:
Saw Jordan Pass Bills
Jordan passed the bills to Emmons
1
with his right hand. The bills were
loose and not folded. 1 could not say
whether there was one or more. Jor-
dan held them with the end showing
above his hand"
Mr.. Johnson, with strip of paper
the size of a bank note. asked the wit
ness to show him how Johnson held
the bills and asked the reporter to mark
the paper at the point where it showed
above the hand. Then Mr. Johnson
asked:
"You know what hand he took it
with?"
mo"
"You don't know what he did with
it?"
mo"
"Then how do you know he took it?"
'It disappeared from Jordan's hand"
Jordan might have placed 1t in his
own pocket, might he not?"
mo"
How do you know he did not?"
Because Emmons reached out for
it,"

coLoNIsT RATEs,FRoM EAST

Colonst rates from the east to Cali
and it is estimated that already 800
persons have arrived in Los Angeles.
The majority of these came from the
middle west, as colonists from eastern
cities leaving on the day the low rates
became effective have not had time to
reach the land of sunshine and flow
ers.
Two trainloads of seekers after health
and happiness are expected to arrive
today and railroad officials report that
many more are on the way.
According to estimates of general
passenger agents of western roads,
California will be visited by more east
erners this season than during any
preceding year. The severe winter eX-
perienced in the east last season and
the widespread advertising that has
been given California as a place for
winter residence will attract people of
all classes here by the thousands, say
the railway men.
Western roads are ordering new
equipment in the way of coaches in
anticipation of the heavy tide of travel
which they say will be turned toward
California, and especially Los Angeles.
Local hotel men say prospects for bust
ness the coming season are unusually
bright. With the large number of hotels
and apartment houses built during the
past summer no difficulty is anticipated
in caring for all the tourists who may

with which hand?"
81 don't remember"
Hartley then testified that the men
were standing a foot or less apart He
was unable to say whether either man
was smoking; did not think Jordan
wore an overcoat, but was sure EN-
mons wore one. He said that he had
taken the bills from the right hand
pocket either of his trousers or his
vest. He was not sure which.
William N. Russell of Oakland, an
employe of the Continental association,
was on the stand long enough to tell of
his having received an envelope in the
Mills building; of having delivered it
to Tichenor at Sacramento and of hav-
ing seen Tichenor extract therefrom a
hundred dollar bill.
Tichenor Testifies
George N. Tichenor was the next wit
ness called. He identified the envelopes
and told of the memoranda he had
made on them and the precautions he
had taken to identify them. He told of
his meeting with Jordan and of the ar
rangements made for delivering the
money to the four senators. Subse-
quently he narrated how the money
was delivered to Jordan and how the
latter had Joined Emmons in Hanlons
saloon, walked across the street and
paid the money to Emmons while wit
ness was watching the transaction. He
stated in conclusion that he had
watched the proceedings for the pur-
pose of entrapping the senators.

TOXIC, Sept. 21.-Regarding the loss
of the battleship Mikasa in Sasebo har-
Dor. strong doubt is entertained as to
whether it was caused by a fire which

explosion of the magazine. The dis
