Landlsdy's Complaint Results In sec-

Claims to Have Been
Chicago Lawyer

c. Il. Darling, believed to be known
In Los Angeles as Manager E. y. Mil
Ter Of the Proflcial Surgical institute,
with offices In q building at 445 1-2
South Spring street, was arrested last
evening ON the complain of woman
living at 62S West Eleventh street
who. claimed that Darling threatened
to burn her house.
Several days ago Darling was arrest
ed on complain of the woman, who
charged him with disturbing the peace
He had been boarding at her house for
some time previous. Within a short
time Darling made known that he was
a thirty-seCOnd degree Mason and upon
communication with brothers of the
same fraternity his bail was reduced
from $50 to $40
Since being released, Darling is said
to have been endeavoring to evade the
trial on the charge of disturbing the
peace. Late yesterday Darling is said
by the police to have called Mrs. Will
liams on the telephone and told her
that he would burn her house If she
did not dismiss the case against him.
This followed an alleged ATTEMPT to
sell his landladys house. After henS
released from Jail, 1t is claimed that
Darling placed an advertisement in
local paper Offering the house for sale.
The advertisement was answered and
the woman declares she was bothered
by his actions. He first asserted that
the woman was his wife, but later
denied it.
From what could be learned from
the police 1t IS their theory that Dar-
ling. who claims to be Chicago
lawyer, is insane, Efforts to settle the
question OF his sanity will be made
today
Articles found in Darlings possession
lead to the belief that lie has been

of this city and has been using the

DENVER, Jan. 7.-Denver's social
leader, Mrs. Crawford Hill, who has
just returned from her annual trip
abroad, was hostess of theater party
occupying the Hill box at the Broad
way Monday night, and gave society
the tip on what is correct in fans for
the opera. Denver's ultra-fashionables
divided their attention between the
stage and Mrs. Hills fan, and not an
eye failed to take in the exact measure
ments of the wonderful creation, this
innovation from the other side of the
Atlantic
Sixteen white ostrich tips upon ivory
sticks formed this fan of indescribable
beauty which Mrs. Hill carried When
opened the semi-circle measured in cir
cumference an even thrty-siX inches,
and the center stick, from handle tn
end OF plume, measured eighteen
inches.
For several seasons past decidedly
small fans have heen in vogue. Six
and eight-nch fans We're mostly fin
favor foi practical use, but fads leadto
eXtreme,. and small ones. four and five
inches, tiny trinkets which would be
worn with effect upon gold neck
chain, came into favor. These fans
were for the most part made of silk.
decorated with colonial figures and gold
and silver spangles. Now they must
seek the seclusion OF retirement.
Not for thirty years or more has
fashion smiled upon fan of the de-
scription carried by Mrs. Hill Monday
evening. The new. or revival of the old.
now comes as the proper thing, from
the courts of fashion abroad, and Mrs.
Hill is the first to bring the idea to
Denver

thing for wear" said debutante, as
she struggled into her opera coat in

play. II suppose this is practically the

STREET IMPROVEMENT

The city council is perfectly right in
calling halt on street Improvements
till the contractors put in reasonable
bids for the work offered, with more
evidences of competition and less of a
combine and "divvying" system.
Los Angeles certainly needs street
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS them badly. She
has grown so fast that the inrush of
population has far outstripped her abil-
ity to care for it. In a measure, out
lying and new residence tracts are pro-
vided with street betterments; the men
who put these on the market are forced
by competition to put in curbs, cutters,
walks and trees, and to make the
streets.
But in the region between the down
town district and these newer tracts
are miles of older streets, laid out and
built up Il few years ago, before the
present enormous development, which
are crying for care. These the city
must look after.
And she will. But just because the
necessity is great and the work is
pressing, the city does not propose to
be held up. She has few funds to spare
at best, till new fiscal year begins.
and she doesn't propose to be robbed
meanwhile Of her small patrimony.
It is by no means contemplated that
street work shall stop--Los Angeles
never stops. But jobs will be held Ia
allegiance till contractors are reasonable
or new ones come in. 1t is up to- the
contractors.

A ROTTEN PARTY

The Republican party in New York is
absolutely so rotten that everyone of
any standing is afraid of it. No one
cares deliberately to contaminate him
self, and that's what it means to be
mixed up with that mess.
The latest instance in point is the re-
fusal of Ex-Governor Black to take the
state craftsmanship. out of which B. B.
Odell has just fallen with a dull, sick
ening thud" Mr.. Black declares that
there are no conceivable circumstances
in which would accept the offer, and
says these times in the party ARE too
swift for any man who still has any
abiding respect for old fashioned
things"
That's a pretty hard arraignment
from man who has been party
leader and is again sought for the same
place. But who can blame him?
Think of party whose two repre-
sentatives in the senate are the senile
Tom Platt and the unspeakable Dephew;
whose leader has been the fat and cor
rupt Odell; party which the president
of the United States, himself of it,
refuses to touch even with tongs; a
party that fattened and gorged on the
savings of widows and orphans and
''milked" insurance funds for its graft:
that is owned by rotten railroads and
upstate robbers, and whose only aim
in life is to add to it's spoils in New
York city, saved from pillage by it's
stalwart Democracy. No wonder Mr..
Black says: you can't make it too
strong that 1 am out of it,"

That change in our currency sys-
tenn whereby Its volume and elasticity
may be increased fs a necessity Is
generally admitted. The recent furry
in wall street, when money went to
10 per cent premium, confirms this
and the still more recent utteranoes
Of Jacob II. schiff, that panic threat
ems unless reforms come, clinches the
argument We must reorganize our
currency system, or face serious trou-
BILE; the bankers and finaneiers both
demand and confess this.
1t is we'll that these gentlemen who
manipulate the wealth of the country
are at last awake to the danger It
has taken them a long time TO realize
It. The people generally were aware
Of it twelve to fifteen years ago. The
Democratic party, then in power, faced
a terrific crisis based on this very In
elasticity Of the monetary system, and
only the bold and coura geous actions of
Grover Cleveland saved the country.
Bryan sounded the advance cry for
revision of the currency then, but
the financiers and bankers pooh-poohed
him, spent gold like water. and de-
feated the project-and have done the
same thing ever since.
Now, however, comes their cry for
change. Even the money kings can
no longer stave off the demand for
reform; they are. in fact, leading 1t.
Can it be that the Republican party
will yet admit that it was wrong
that we must have a flexible currency,
that our system needs change? And
will the Republicans yet put through
the very policy that the Democrats
have advocated for fifteen years?

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
AUSTIN, Jan. THE United States
immigration inspectors stationed at
Rio Grande border points in this fed
eral district are much concerned over
the smuggling of Chinese into this
country that is going on under their
very eyes In his report to the commits
sioner Of immigration. T. F. Schmucker,
who is in charge of the upper Rio
Grande division. says:
From interviews with reputable
American citizens residing in Mexico
City, Chihuahua, Tampico, Guaymas
and other cities i'm the republic of
Mexico, it is learned that in the places
named schools have been established
in charge of competent tutors. for the
sole purpose of teaching English to the
Chinese. That the object in view of
such Chinese resident of Mexico in
studying English is not wholly disin-
terested is readily illustrated when,
after having been arrested in the act of
crossing the international boundary
line, or having been found in Ell Paso
with certificates, they state in English
that they live in the United States.
Practically all of the Cinnamon in FL
Paso are engaged in the business of
smuggling their countrymen into the
United States Illegally"
He declares that specially built houses
are used with underground and attic
rooms.
During the past fiscal year 1856 China
men are known to have arrived in
JuareZ, and of that number 800 have
disappeared. Explaining the wherefore
of these conditions the report says:
THE Chinese population of Ell Paso,
numbering about $50, is banded to-
gether as one man for the purpose of
concealing and conveying into the in
terror of the country those Chinese
coolies who have crossed the line. Some
OF the most influential Chinese business
men Of El Paso have been engaged in
smuggling ana secreting coolies in their
establishments. In certain alleys i'm El
I'aso houses have been 50 constructed
that Illegally resident Chinese can be
concealed in chambers under the
ground or spaces between the roof and
the ceiling. 1t is believed that the
handling of Chinese coolies is the sole
occupation of one-third Of the Chinese
population OF FL Paso.
