TACOMA MILLIONAIRE
VISITS MOUNTAIN HOME
So Many Chances Here for Profitable In
veStment That it Gives Him
Nervous PrOStratiOn.

Seymour H. Bell arrived here
Monday morning, accompanied by
his financial hacker, Henry Hewitt
Jr., of Tacoma, who is probably the
wealthiest man on the Pacific coast,
counting his rapidly accumulating
fortune by the millions. He is lri-
marily a lumbermsn, having grown.
up in the business in Wisconsin,
and is today the largest individual
timber land owner in the world,
holding vast areas in all the coast
states, Idaho and British Columbia;
but of recent years has extended
his interests into other fields; coal,
iron and copper mines, steam and
electric railways, municipal light
ing and water plants, banks, into
any and every enterprise where
money is to be made, and when you
hear of Henry Hewitt investing
his money in any scheme, 1t is a
safe gamble that more money is
concealed somewhere thereabouts,
for his judgment is apparently un-
erring on this subject.
He accompanied ]. II. Garrett
on trip of inspection over the
irrigation system, returning Tues
day afternoon, and yesterday they
went down to the Bruneau coun-
Try. Seymour Bell prefers to do
his travelling in Pullman, and
left for the coast Tuesday night.
He says that when he gets to be
as old as Mr. Hewitt he will
doubtless also like these trips
through the mountains and over
sage brush plains, behind team of
cayuses, eating Garrett's cold lunch
, cs--that he generally forgets-and
drinking his warm beer-that he.
never forgets; but being young and
tender, he will confinc himself to.
| fast trains for while longer.
, Mr.. Hewitt says there are so
many opportunities for profitable
! investment in this country that it
. superinduces nervous prostration
D when he thinks of the impossibility
Of acquiring them all. He is a
great admirer of j. d. Rockefeller
and that fine Christian spirit which
he possesses to such a remarkable
{ degree, that impels him to take
n everything in sight. To the writer
n Mr. Hewitt said: This is a great
: and rich country you have here,
n the value of the resources and un-
: developed wealth OF which the res
!. idcnts seem not TO fully appreciate.
y But the most valuable asset of this
# county is that man Garrett. He is
: building a splendid irrigation sys-
: tenn that will convert 80, 600 acres
- of contiguous desert into fertile
- farms. That in itself will make q
# large and prosperous town here, and
r some of his other contemplated en-
"A terprises will accomplish wonders
J. that you people don't dream of. /"
= What's he here for? Maverick
= doesn't know, further than that i
N is not a pleasure trip, and Mr.
.. Hewitt never talks of his busines:
ID affairs for publication until aftei
he has landed the deal He is [;
valuahle man for any country tina
he becomes interested in, and Ell
more county is fortunate in secur
ing his favorable attention, through
]. H. Garrett's efforts.

THINKS SHE WAS SWINDLED
Girl Complains of Treatment ReceieVd
at Hands of Employment
Agency Sharps

A healthy, good looking daughter OIL
Erin, Miss Alice Farnum, late OF DUP
lin, ireland. yesterday complained TO
City Prosecuting Attorney Eddy about
the unfair treatment she had received
from AN employment bureau on Broad
way.
Miss Farnum says this bureau made
her the promise to secure a position Ior
her on the payment of a $3.50 fee she
paid and was sent to a place near Red
lands, on a promise of wages of S5 a
month. Here she says she was given
spoiled, disgusting food to eat, when
given food at all, and her sleeping
apartment she says was little better
than a dogs kennel, and simply alive
with Vermin.
Miss Farnum says she is convinced,
and the prose cutting attorney seems to
agree with her. that this treatment by
her pretended employer was a pre-ar-
ranged scheme between the employment
bureau people and the woman at Red
lands, believed to be associated, for
disposing of Miss Farnum after she
was made to think a position had been
secured for her in consideration Of the
$3.50 fee she had paid

READY To FIGHT
LIQUOR DEALER
CENTRAL AVENUE RESIDENTS
WILL PROTEST
Arnetts Application for License Will
Meet With Vigorous Opposition
Before Police Commis-
sion Tonight

Eugene Arnett, who has filed pc
tition with the police commission ask
ing for a wholesale liquor license at 25Of
Central avenue. will be met with strong
opposition from residents in that dis
trict when the case comes up before
the police commission this evening.
All the churches in the vicinity VIII
protest. Members of the Bethel Baptist
church visited the city hall yesterday
and declared that the proposed loca-
tion was within forty feet of that
church. A ruling of the police commls-
sion prohibits the esta blishment of any
kind of a liquor store within 500 feet
of a church or school house. It was on
account of the fact that 1914 San Pedro
street was but 440 feet from a school
that Arnett was refused a license to put
in his wholesale liquor store at that
address by the commission last week.
1t Is not expected that the commission
viii refuse to grant license within
44O feet of a school and grant the same
applicant a license within forty feet OF
a church.
Arnett has the consent Of more than
two-thirds of the frontage in the block
in which he proposes to establish his
wholesale house on Central avenue and
he also had a two-thirds frontage pc
tition when he asked the police commits
sion for "A license at 1914 San Pedro.
The building i'm which Mr.. Arnett
proposes to locate on Central avenue is
owned by Robert Furlong. Mr.. Furlons
owns a row of small business buildings
ON Central and Twenty-fifth street.
few months ago Furlong made appli-
cation to the police commissioners for
a billiard hall license for 2515 Central
avenue, which is but one store removed
from the location desired by Arnett,
and was met with resistance by the
property owners and residents i'm the
district one of the largest crowds that
ever gathered in the commission room
appeared to protest against the grant
ing of the billiard hall license and rath-
er than be subjected to great deal OF
criticism Furlong withdrew his appli-
cation.

as the Sixth District Agricultural So

DIS tne Sl&ln DlStrlct Agricultural So
ciety.
The object of the society was TO pro-
mote horticulture and agriculture and
the land was to be used for county
| fairs and stock shows. But in 1895 an
act of the Legislature permitted the
stockholders of the society to manage
the land throughout the year with the
exception OF one week each year.
Since that time, when a new society
sprung up known as the District Agri-
cultural association No. 6, there has
been the constant question as to whether
the management and control of the
property were V, ted in that corporation
to be controlled by its directors elected
by it's stockholders or whether the
property is under the control of IA board
of directors appointed by the governor,
or in other words by the state board of
agriculture.
The question has been fought over
many times, but on nearly every occa -
sion the members of the state board
were members of the stockholders or
ganization, and as result nothing was
ever done in reclaiming the land from
the hands of the amusement company
and giving it back to the control of the
state board.
Five years ago Attorney w. NJ.
Bowen representing the state society,
began the fight for reclamation. He
has continued that fight down to the
present date, in the latter months as
sisted by Judge Scarborough and Judge
Hunsacker.
Several months ago the entire fight
for supremacy was threshed out before
Judge York. and yesterday he rendered
decision giving the land, now valued
at $750000. to the state society and
giving the same society small damages
against the members of the stock
holders board.
The present stockholders board is
composed of the following members:
E. T. Wright, W. G. Kerchoff Guy
Barum, Walter Parker. w. j. Harrison,
Casper Cohn, c. i. De Camp and Mr..
Eshman.
From their control the land will
henceforth be managed by the state
board The present members of the
state board are John f. Jones, Guy r..
Murdock, Horace NJ. Dobbin, John Rey-
nods, former Senator Currier Martin
Marsh, c. E. De Camp and Casper

COFFIN BOXES BLOWN UP
Excavations in Old Cemetery Near
High School DVuIge Crew.
aome Features

Reports were circulated yesterday
regarding the blowing up Of coiilns III
the old Cemetery adjoining the high
school for the new school buildings
When asked about the incident, Prof
W. II. Housh, principal of the school,
stated that he had heard nothing OF
the incident and thought probably that
coffin boxes. from which the cottins
had been removed, might have been
encountered during the excavations.
Contractor f. Engstrum, who mas
charge of the excaVating, said last
evening that he had heard of no eofi1ns
being encountered and that to his
knowledge no bones had been found,
although the grounds were once used
for a cemetery
The cemetery on the hill, adjoining
the high school, has long been neg
lected but was once the only cemetery
of the then Pueblo and was first used
over hundred years ago. Members
of well known families were Inferred
there, but later were removed to other
cemeteries.

PREDICTS BIC
TOURIST SEASON
FAMILY HOTELS ENGAGED IN
ADVANCE
Fasteners .romise to Flock to the
Coast in Greater Numbers Than
Ever Before - Rush
Begins Early

Proprietors of family hotels in the
outskirts of Los Angeles are preparing
for the largest season in the history OF
their existence.
These hotels secure a large proper
ton of the eastern people who come to
Southern California for the entire win
ter After a few days at the first class
transient houses eastern visitors usually
seek apartments in one of the houses
that cater moEe particularly to the
"longtimers.
All these houses had a prosperous
season last wear, but they expect even
greater crowds this year.
c. j. Corwin of the Alvarado hotel
said yesterday that many more reser-
vations have been made by easterners
this year than at the same time last
year.
by the middle of next month we
expect that our house will be crowded, -
said Mr.. Corwin. There are already a
great many people and we are conf
dent that before the season is really
started we will be turning people
away"
Not Frightened Away
William Randecker of the Bellevue
Terrace ON Figueroa and Sixth streets
says that that house will be almost
filled with people who have been COM
ing mere every year Tor 1Ouf or nVe
years and some of them even longer
than that.
1--WE thought after the earthquake
that some of our old patrons might be
frightened away from California, but
we have completely changed our
minds" said Mr.. Randecker. "The
house will be crowded and we will
probably have to turn people away
The outlook for this season Is very
prosperous said G.Nll. Hart, propre-
tor of the Hotel Pepper on West
Seventh street
1--WE have received many letters from
the east making application to have
rooms reserved. and it Is still very
early In the sea SON We had a season
last year that was all we could wish.
and this year history is to repeat itself.
We turned people away last year and
we most certainly viii have to do that
this year"

LONG LITIGATION
COMES To AN END
AGRICULTURAL PARK REVERTS
TO STATE
Big Tract of Land Will Be Cut Ito
Lots or Other Improvements
Made to Boom Univer-
sity District

BY decision handed down yesterday
by Judge York i'm departme of the
superior court i'm the quiet title suit OF
the Sixth District Agricultural asso-
citation against the stockholders board
OF Agricultural park, a legal tight OF
more than five years standing has been
finally settled and the ownership of 1lO
acres of the finest property in Los An
geles has been once and for all given
over to the state association.
In his opinion Judge York quiets title
to the property now known as Agricul-
tural park and gives it over to the
Sixth District Agricultural association.
Also $3.50 is given to the association as
recovery of damages against the In
dividuals who have had control of the
park for the past ten years.
The plot of ground known as AGri-
cultural park has had a stormy history.
From the first day of it's establishment
its ownership was marked with mort
gage and clouded title until at last the
real ownership has been established,
and that fact is welcomed by patriotic
Angelenos, who now hope for speedy
transformation of a forsaken spot to a
beautiful residence district.
viii Be Improved
The park has held back the Univer-
sity neigh bor,.ood for years, accofdlns
to statements of real estate men. and
IL it is not divided up i'm town lots for
the benefit of the association then inn
provements of some sort will be made
upon the 10 acres and the nelghborhood
will be on the boom.
The tract of land, then including 16U
acres, was purchased for agricultural
purchases in 1873 1t was held under
$4,000 mort gage, which was foreclosed
in 1879 and the tract sold to l. N.
Moore.
Moore subsequently executed deed
to the land to j. u. Hollenbeck and los
others, who purchased town lots front
ing on Vermont avenue. In 1884 judg-
ment of the superior court declared
Moore's deed as given to Hollenbeck
and others to be null and void and or
dered him to draw up second deed
declaring ,he terms of trust on which
the premises should be held perpetu-
allv thereafter by society organized
