The city council did not meet last
night. The light committee, which has
under consideration the proposition of
Edward L. Healy to furnish the city
plant with power from Red Lake falls.
was not prepared to report. 1t has
been in session several times and the
members have given the matter con-
siderable consideration, but it is a
rather difficult proposition to deter
mine, and as the action of the COM
mittee, If accepted by the council, will
be binding for term of years, every
detail is being considered. The meet
ing was adjourned till the regular
time, August z.

crossing at the foot of North Fourth

of Street Commissioner Durick who
superintendent the job The crossing
is put in at the railroad company's
expense.

pairing the paving on Chestnut and

cradle grading is going on, particu-
larly upon Oak. Cherry and Eshel-

to say that fire is an advantage to

often true. The new buildings which

the old ones were, and will be a de-

PLAN EXCURSION TO HAWAII
Chamber Of Commerce Wants to Es-
tablish Closer Relations with
Rich Islands

II. p. Wood, secretary of the Ha-
waiian promotion committee, appeared
before the executive board of the
chamber of commerce yesterday in
reference to an excursion for the pur-
pose of bringing the residents of Los
Angeles and vicinity into closer touch
socially and commercially with the
Hawaiian people, who live in the rich
est country per capita under the
United States government
1t is proposed to get up an excur-
sion, probably just after the holidays,
and the president was requested to
appoint committee to take up the
matter and report on the feasibility
of the proposition.
Mr.. Wood assured the members that
he would personally take up the en-
tertainment and would see that they
had a. good time. Also that he would
send cablegram to his board of
directors of the action taken by the
chamber, and request them to appoint
committee on arrangements looking
to the entertainment of the excursion
lists from this section.
Secretary Wood thought that If a
sufficient number expressed a desire
to go, special arrangements might be
made for sailing direct from San Pedro.
Mr.. Wood also asked the privilege
of placing an exhibit of Hawaiian
products and photographs in the ex-
hibit hall of the chamber of commerce.

FAITHFUL MoToRMAN BURIED
Had Operated Street Car Sixteen
Years and Never Had an
Aecidenf


Impressive funeral services we're held
yesterday in the Occidental Heights
Baptist church for Frederick c. Ran
dolph, who had been in the employ of
the Los Angeles Street Railway COM
pany for sixteen years. The company
testified its appreciation by placing a
funeral car at the disposal of the
family, and the conductors and motor
men of the Boyle Heights line showed
their regards by their presence as pail
bearers.
Mr.. Randolph began service with the
company when the old cable lines were
in operation in 1890, and several of the
pallbearers had worked with him i'm the
early days. The testimony was uni
versal as to Mr.. Randoph's faithful
ness and reliability. He never had an
accident on his car. He often said that
II any one was ever run over through
his carelessness he should leave his car
then and there.
Mr.. Randolph had been a member
of the school board for the Belvedere
district for many years and for five
years had been the secretary of the
board. The trustees, teachers, pupils
and members of the community gener-
ally attended the funeral services. The
obsequies were conducted by Rev. p.
F. Bresee. pastor of the Nazarene
church, assisted by Rev. l.. A. Gould
of the Occidental Heights Baptist
church and Rev. G.. Fred Ross of the
Euclid Heights Methodist church.

WELCOME IS GIVEN BISHOP
"Pontia, Daughter of Pilate," Re-
peated Last Evening at ST.
Joseph's Hall

AS a welcome to Bishop Conaty the
Young Ladies' sodality of st. Joseph's
church gave the second presentation
of 'ePontia, Daughter of Plate" a re-
ligious drama in four acts.
The young women repeated their for
mer success last evening and were
warmly greeted by a large audience.
The church choir took part in the play
last evening, forming choir invisible,
during the scene wherein an electrical
cross appeared during the thunder,
which marked the crucifixion. The mu-
sical program throughout the evening
was one of the special features of the
event.
The young women of the cast all de-
serve much credit for the manner in
which they presented the different
characters. Miss Florence Dick essayed
the title role with success, as did all
the other characters.
The drill of the vestal virgins and
the flower girls of the Roman en-
press, the latter composed of very
young. children, We're among the taking
features of the event.
Rev. Raphael Fuhr, the energetic
pastor, under whose direction the play
was given had charge of the event
last evening, and made short address
of welcome to the bishop.
The event partook of a reception to
the bishop, it being his first visit to
the parish since his eastern trip.

CARRIED 10000
COL0N|STS HERE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC KEEPS UP
OCTOBER RUSH
immigration Consists Mainly Of Home
Seekers, Mechanics and Labor
ers-pevelopment and Ex-
tensions Continue

The Southern Pacific has advised its
Los Angeles office that it has carried
10000 colonlsts into the state since
the first of September under the low
rates prevailing from the east.
An erroneous statement was tele-
graphed by the Associated Press that
these rates would be discontinued on
October is. The rates will be contin-
ued until october 81. and II is believed
from the present rush of business,
which exceeds 600 people per day, and
which is increasing, that not less than
10000 colonists will move into Califor-
mia within the next two weeks.
The immigration consists largely of
home seekers but there Is also a con-
siderable movement of mechanics and
laboring men from the eastern cities,
seeking work in San Francisco.
The government reclamation and ir-
rigation schemes near Truckee and
Klamath Falls have attracted large
numbers of people.
Los Angeles and vicinity is getting
hundreds of new residents and settlers
every day, and the letters and news
papers they send east swell the grow
ing army.

FACES ANOTHER EMBARGO
San Francisco Puts Ban on All Freight
Temporarily

Late reports to Los Angeles officials
are that freight shipments to San
Francisco over the Southern Pacific
have again been tied up.
The new embargo will become eff
fective today and no more freight will
be received for shipment to San Fran
cisco or Oakland yards or forwarded
The officials after a long conference
decided on this move as absolutely
necessary to clear the San Francisco
yards and relieve the congestion which
has rapidly been increasing since the
embargo was removed.
The freight condition in the yards of
the Southern Pacific, both in San
Francisco and in Oakland, has, it is
reported, become alarming.
At present over $500 cars are stand
ing idle on the tracks.
Cars have been coming into the city
at the rate of over 400 day and all
efforts of the officials to get them un-
loaded have proved of no avail.
The railroad officials report also that
a number of freight cars are badly
crippled on account of the heavy SER
vice and have to be laid up for repairs.
These are in local yards hemmed in
by the glut of loaded freight cars.

SEED GRAFT IS

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. T.-"Be-
hold how great matter a little fire
kindleth," quoted a Long Island farmer
OF religious turn of mind a few days
ago when he saw about 10, 900 packages
of government free seeds being
burned in the yard of a neighbor In one
of the suburbs of Brooklyn.
why are you burning the seeds?"
he asked. a a.,A
Because they are. worthless" was
the reply. The farmer thoroughly
agreed with this statement, but he
thought they might be made useful.
What Will you sell them for?" he
asked. r-.a
"You can have all you can carry away
for half dollar" was the reply, so he
loaded up bushel bag and took 1t into
New York. Here he told his story to
seed dealer, with the result that these
despised- seeds will form one of the
principal exhibits in the anti-free seed
campaign when congress reassembes.
These 200 or more packages of
seeds which generous government
forced upon unwilling Long Island
farmers were not being destroyed be-
cause they were old or worm eaten as
was once the case. They were prob

! truck farmers although especially de-
| signed for truckers. They were de-
stroyed because fthey were of the COM
monest varieties, many of them being
seeds that had been OH the market
! twenty or thirty years. In fact some
| OF them are so old that they have been
discarded by the more enterprlsing
seedsmen for newer and improved
varieties, and the only place they arc
obtainable fe'at the department Of agri-
culture, which sends them out in the
congressional free seed distribution as
"new, rare and valuable" seeds
At one time the free seed distribution
was a Joke, but II has now become a
serious matter for congress Is wasting
$250,000 yearly In this manner to say
nothing of the $250,00O 1t costs the post
office depa rtment to handle them. The
farmers are getting very tired of the
farce The up-to-date and prosperous
farmer considers 1t an insult to his in
telligence for a member of congress to
send him a Scent package of the same
kind Of seeds his father planted twenty
years ago and attempt TO palm 1t of
on him as something new, rare and
| valuable.
To determine Just how new these
seeds are. which had been rescued from
the flames. the seed dealers examined
their catalogues with interesting re-
suits. II was found that one variety OF
