MAY FORT|FY
PACIFIC COAST
COMMITTEE HERE ON TRIP OF
INSPECTION
Brisadler General s. M. Mills Admits
Extensive Improvements Are Con-
templated but Declines to
Give Details

Within the next few months it is
possible that active work of erecting
large fortress upon Catalina island
and fortifying the Pacific coast may
be begun. This information was given
out last night by Gen. S. M. Mills, one
of the committee on Notifications from
the war department, which is now In
Los Angeles on a trip of inspection of
the coast.
The committee returned last night
from a trip to Catalina island and are
stopping at the Van Nuys hotel. Those
of the committee who are in the party
are: Major General Storey, chairman;
Brigadier- General Mckenzie, Briga-
dier- General S. M. Mills, Major George
w. Goethals and Col. w. H. Hener.
Speaking of the probabilities of the
erection of forts and construction of
Notifications along the Pacific coast,
Gen. Mills said last night:
I'VE have just finished the inspec-
ton of the coast from Puget Sound to
San Diego. This committee is work.
ing as the committee on Notifications
of the Taft commission appointed by
the president.
I'VE are making the inspection in
relation to changes in fortifications
along the Pacific and our recommends
tions will be made to the war depart
ment There are extensive changes to
be made in the Notifications in Puget
Sound, on the mouth of the Columbia
river and in San Francisco bay. OF
course there are other changes and I'M
provements to be made, but what they
will be we cannot say until later.
This committee has just finished the
inspection of the Pacific and tomorrow
we leave for Washington, D. c., 10
prepare our report. We have been all
along the coast to San Pedro, San
Diego and Catalina. This afternoon we
returned from the latter place"
What is the significance of your
visit to Catalina island?" was asked.
"Oh, merely an inspection tour" was
the answer. When asked If there was
any truth in the statement that for
tif1cations were to be placed along the
southern coast, the general replied that
he could not say at present.
Practically no information could be
gained about the Catalina island forr.
In fact General Mills denied that any
such rumor was true. Nevertheless in
formation from a reliable source is to
the effect that the committee made an
investigation of parts of the island
representatives of the owners of the
island and that the conference was in
relation to purchasing land for forti-
fications.

NEW MEDICAL SCHOOL OPENS
Seceders From Pacific College OF Os-
teopathy Organize a Rival
Institution

At the Saunier sanitarium this morn
ing at 8 o'clock the opening session Of
the Los Angeles College of Osteopathy
will be held.
This is the name of the new college
that has been organized as a result of
the recent disagreement in the faculty
of the Pacific College of Osteopathy.
The following are the faculty of the
new institution: DR.. w. H. Forbes
president; Col. A. B. Shaw, business
manager; DR.. w. r. Laughlin, DR.. c.
Fl. Spencer, DR.. Jennie B. Spencer and
DR.. C. A. Hammet.
For the present clinics will held
at the Saunier sanitarium, opposite
Hollenbeck park, but immediate steps
will be taken toward the erection of
their own quarters. With the exception
of DR.. Laughlin all members of the
faculty, as we'll as the students, num-
bering nearly 100, are from the Still
college at Des Moines, Iowa.
When this institution was absorbed
about a year ago by the parent school
at hlrKSVllle, MO', d CoHSOlludlioh was
effected by the faculty of the Des
Moines school with the Pacific college
in this city, but matters have not been
altogether pacific and eliminated last
week in the withdrawal of the Iowa
ontingent-students and all-and the
opening of the new school.
DIR. Laughlin was seen at his home
at 6S3 Westlake avenue but declined to
dwell upon the differences which led to
the disruption, simply stating that it
was decided best to agree to disagree.
and after speaking of the bright pros
poets of the new institution guided the
conversation into discussion of his
pet science-is one wrong in referring
to osteopathy as a science?

INrG. LsHesIerGury

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins a childs DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women actlike firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency. the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound |;
pain in the oyaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervouS dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a ashattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing IN
the world Is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

MARSHALL FIELD EMPL0YE
FOLLOWS NOVEL BUSINESS
BUYS ALL INSURANCE FOR THE
MILLIONAIRE
Asserts That Big Dry Goods Concern
Is Not in Cahoots With Insurance
Companies, in Spite of Assertions
to the Contrary

Buying insurance is the novel bust
ness followed by Arthur Hawshurst of
Chicago, who has devoted thirty years
of his life to this purpose alone. Mr..
Hawshurst is probably the only man in
the world who follows this business ex-
clusively.
For thirty-five years he has been in
the employ of Marshall Field company.
Not building is planned and no i'm
provements are made without first con-
sulting Mr.. Hawshurst.
Mr.. Hawshurst arrived in Los An
geles yesterday and with his son Paul
is staying at the Lankershim hotel. He
has been on a tour of the west. In an
interview yesterday Mr.. Hawshurst
said:
Yes, for thirty years l have done
nothing but study insurance and buy it
for Marshall Field. l do not say it with
an egotistical feeling, but feel that 1
know something about insurance.
"Under my supervision is the fire in
insurance and in fact all the insurance
that the company buys. Instead of
placing the buying of the insurance for
the stocks of goods as they come in
and all the other kinds of insurance
into the hands of a broker I handle
it and figure on it and buy it.
Get Low Premiums
with my knowledge of the insurance
business am able to direct the con-
tractors who construct our buildings in
such manner that they will be able
to build so that we can get the lowest
insurance rate We do not stand in
with the companies as we are some
times accused of but we build and equip
our buildings so that we get all of the
discounts on policies possible.
ST direct the handling of stocks in
the same way and we have to pay
probably the least insurance because of
the way that we handle it. I make a
study of insurance and Marshall Field
pays me to handle it. He says it pays,
and it must if he says so.
"a movement was on foot in the
Illinois legislature to have law passed
preventing the boards of underwriters
from fixing the rates of insurance from
time to time. am glad to say that it
did not pass. 1t is impossible to fix q
rate of insurance as the losses vary
greatly. For instance, in 1903 the losses
by fire were $16OOOO.OOO, the next year
they were $3.50 900.
THAT shows how they vary and how
impossible it would be to have fixed
rate of insurance"
