100000 In FOUR HOURS

It Is proposed by the Southern Cali
fornia Development company to raise
100000 in the four hours intervening
between O'Clock and 10 o'clock next
Saturday morning. as the contribution
of this city to the work of the company
in advertising the delights and ad-
vantages Of Southern California.
Can Los Angeles do it9
Why, of course. 1t is a rather large
undertaking, but Los Angeles has never
yet failed in any effort that only re-
quired giving up money for a public
purpose
The pull together" habit here Is phe-
nomenal. We never do things by halves,
and wherever the good Of Los Ange-
les is at stake, there you will find all
the people, ali the time.
The Southern California Development
company is an organization Of we'll
known citizens Of the south, banded to-
gether for the purpose Of extending the
fame OF this section by means of large
advertising in the eastern magazines
and newspapers. None of the officers
will receive any salary. and every dol
lar subscribed to the fund is to be APP
propriated at once to the single pur-
pose named. The cause is certainly
worthy one. and the large sum asked
from Los Angeles will be raised within
the narrow time prescribed-provided
the leading citizens show their GUS
tomary patriotism and generosity.
Raise 100000 in four hours?
Just watch Los Angeles turn its full
pockets inside and out and fairly smoth-
er the company with money. We do
things in this city-not next month, or
next year. but this year and this month
and this week.

WOMAN ATTEMPTS TO
BURN LODGING HOUSE

A woman, whose name could not be
learned, attempted to burn the lodging
house at $685. East First street last
night by breaking a lighted kerosene
lamp and throwing the oil about the
room.
But for the Intervention of E. d. Wat
son, lodger in the house, it is believed
that the building would have been de-
stroyed.
He saw the flames leaping above the
transom, and breaking in the door
showered the fire with water.
The skirt Of the woman was burning
when Watson succeeded in battering
down the door.

AN ANOMALOUS CONDITION

1t is announced that leading San
Francisco savings banks are preparing
to place large loans on Los Angeles real
| estate.
Considerable sums have come from
such sources within the last few
months, for investment in this city, but
present reports are to the effect that
the scope of the investments will be
greatly enlarged. 1t is explained that a
plethora of money in the San Fran
cisco savings banks accounts for this
movement of funds southwark. Suffi-
cient loans on satisfactory terms cannot
be negotiated by these banks in their
home city.
This notable action Of the savings
banks accords with the policy that the
San Francisco banks of issue have been
pursuing during recent months. In
order to realize on their deposits the
national and state banks of San Fran
cisco have been obliged to send out vast
centers, chiefly New York, for invest
ment on short time or call loans. Two
or three months ago it was reported
that the San Francisco banks of issue
had placed an aggregate of $50,00O,0O0 of
such loans in the eastern cities.
1t seems to be an unparalleled situa-
ton that is disclosed in San Francisco
by this great accumulation of funds in
the banks when the vast work of re-
building the city is just beginning. 1t
will require hundreds of millions of dol
lars to restore the city to anything in
the semblance of its condition before the
| catastrophe. Taking into account the
normal requirement OF funds for busi-
ness purposes and other current ac-
counts, it would seem that the demand
for funds needed in reconstruction
would cause a stringency rather than a
glut of money in the banks.
The anomalous condition thus noted
appears to he eXplainable on only one
ground. That Is a suspicion that rea
estate security for loans in San Fran
cisco is not as desirable as it was
thought to be prior to the calamity
Such suspicion would result naturally
from the disappointment manifest In

BOOK NOTES

"The Electric Theft" by Neil Wynn
Williams. Is a book for one who likes
action and not analysis; an unhack-
neyed plot, original and novel; put
reasonable; a love romance knit into
the thread OF incident, with struggle
between two strong rivals, who make
the very earth tremble In their efforts
for mastery. An English engineer Is
sent to Athens to discover the cause OF
the theft of electricity from the Athe-
nian Electric Power company, and after
a time he does-but that Is only the be-
ginning of his troubles and of the story.
He is an inventor as well as an en-
gineer, and all the resources of both
his wit and of his skill are brought into
play against the clever cunning of his
adversary who also has marriage In
his heart. The scene later shifts to
London, whittier the stolen electricity
is shipped by vessel i'm accumulators,
followed by an underground electric
siege of that city as a necessary meas
ure for the subjugation of the en-
gineer's rival and the winning of the
hand Of a beautiful girl.

The mere statement that THE Sc
cret of Moor Cottage" by II. Ripley
Cromarsh, is a detective story by the
sister of A. Conan Doyle Is enough in
itself to excite curiosity aside from
the mystery of the plot itself. Here
is an opportunity for a family test of
the comparative fertility, in certain di
rections, of a mans and a wuman's
mind. This tale of mystery and adj
venture-as might be expected when
written by Conan Doyles sister
naturally involves a detective, who,
although not a professional one, dis
covers himself in a situation where he
finds 1t desirable, for various reasons,
to seek solution of the puzzle which
surrounds him. He tells the story
himself, with a supplementary narra-
tive by one of the other characters of
the story for the final clearing up of
the mystery.

TO THE MEXICAN WOODS

! The American people have had suf-
ficient instruction in the management
Of their political affairs and it will
not be necessary for w. r. Hearst
personally TO teach and lead them
further.
That is the substance Of what Hearst
has been saying in Texas, for trans
mission throughout the United States.
Hearst was in transit for Mexico at
last accounts and his remarks in pass
ing were somewhat in the nature of
a farewell address, pro tempore.
I shall never again be a candidate -
was the stunning announcement that
Hearst made TO the Texans at san
Antonio. He proceeded to explain that
these principles CHearst brand) are
now sufficiently understood by the
general public for it TO be no longer
necessary for me TO be a candidate
The starch was taken out Of his
York election, but his ineffable gall
remains The people have been edu-
GATED sufficiently by him to go 1t alone
in future without his Napoleonic lead
srship, As he crosses the line and
enters Mexico he figuratively turns
and gives his benediction to the Amer
lean people, tells them to brace them
selves for the ordeal of getting along
without his guidance and counsels
them to remember his teachings.
And thus disappears for a time the
starchless chaser of the gubernatorial
rainbow in New York. All the vim
was taken out of him by his crushing
defeat when every other candidate on
the Democratic ticket was elected. AS
the worst whipped individual who ever
ran for an office in the Empire state
he now seeks seclusion somewhere in
Mexico, his last words on American
soil being a declaration that he Will
never again be a candidate"
But he will be missed in the polit-
ioal arena. What the clown Is to the
circus Hearst was to the election
campaign. The only astonishing thing
about the announcement that he
"never again will be a candidate" is
the evidence that he has sense enough
to see the folly of ever again desiring
to be candidate.

C. Coping at the Tourist lodging
house at Second and Los Angeles
streets, r. E. Harlowe, Morris Stone

the acquaintance of Coping rev
hours after he arrived in Los Angeles
and induced him to take room at the
Tourist lodging house.
A short time later Moore and Harlowe
are alleged to have asked Coping to
have a drink with them. The unsus-
pecting victim readily acquiesced, ana
while the three men were drinking in
n. saloon a few doors from the Tourist
lodging house Stone and Haynes are
alleged to have robbed Coppings s room

USES A CLUB TO
COLLECT A DEBT

In a fight in a cholo construction
camp at Forty-eighth street and Ver-
mont avenue, last night, Losario Lo-
pez was beaten upon the head by B.
Morello with a branch of a eucalyptus
tree.
Lopez sustained a deep cut in the
back of his head and was rendered un-
conscious by the blow.
Lopez is said to have borrowed SIT
from Morello yesterday at San Pedro.
The former went to the construction
camp with the evident intention of
evading payment of the obligation.
Morello discovered where his fellow
countrymen had fled to, and followed.
After a short but spirited conversation
Morello seized a club and hit Lopez on
the head. Morello was arrested by Off
GERS Burnee and Hickok and taken to
the central police station. Lopez was
treated at the receiving hospital

TAKE NO CHANGES

There are ominous warnings concern
the final movement for the jointure Of
the harbor cities with Los Angeles.
Outgivings from San Pedro, particu-
larly, indicate that a serious mistake
may be made IN the method OF APP
preaching the climacteric OF the propo-
sition. " Is evident that better judg-
ment will be needed in managing the
merger than was displayed In handling
the city and county consolidation pro-
ject, or In managing the recent strip
annexation election.
The Herald has repeatedly urged the
Importance OF satisfying the people Of
the harbor cities. beyond all peradven-
ture, that their best interests would
be subserved by union with Los An
geles. There is abundant evidence that
q large percentage of the people of San
Pedro have not been satisfied on that
point, nor are they likely to be satis-
fled If the merger is to be hurried to a
vote. There is reason for grave doubt,
in fact whether an affirmative decision
would be given on the proposition. as
the matter stands today, by the voters
Of San Pedro.
This uncertainty results solely, there
is reason to believe. from lack of in
formation concerning the status Of San
Pedro If the union were consummated.
The feeling in that city is voiced by the
statement of one of its leading spirits
to this effect: I'VE are not going it
blind in this scheme to hitch onto Los
Angeles; we want to know in advance
just how much we are likely to gain or
lose" Another citizen expresses the
sentiment of a considerable class by
saying he is opposed to annexation as
the matter stands now. but would favor
making san Pedro a part Of Greater
Los Angeles under the borough plan,
giving to San Pedro the right TO retain
local lf-government
The people Of san Pedro and VIII
mington are right in demanding that
their post-merger status be specifically
assured before they give their assent.
They viii be justified in opposing any
haste in bringing the matter TO a vote.
The proposition is the most important
probably, that those cities ever viii be
called upon TO decide by 4 If votes and
they should not be expected TO go it
blind
But there Is scarcely 3 doubt that the
general proposition Of 5ointuTe is Re-
gzr5ed farurably by a large majority Of
voters in the harbor cities The only
Objection relates TO matters Of detail
