has been delivered, yet no step toward
actual work has been taken and the
Pacific Electric had every plan made
for an elevated line to enter the Hunt
ington building at the rear and carry
the now congested traffic over a costly
private right of way through a dozen
crowded blocks in the heart of the city,
when that work was suddenly stopped,
all of which is significant.
1t is. understood the proposed changes
will revolutionize the personnel of the
rival systems in Southern California.
Hartman, who is likely to be the con-
trolling power, is not the man who
would carry the additional expense of
an. extra set of general and executive
officers when one organization would
do for all.
Huntington, since his recent arrival
here, has received flattering offers for
his interests In the Pacific Electric, but
it is not believed he has given serious
consideration to any proposition. as he
takes a diminishing pride in the
development of his great electric sys-
TENS in Southern California, the best
paying of which is the Los Angeles city
system. On the other hand, all things
being equal, 1t is believed Huntington
would prefer purchasing all the rival
lines than to sell and make a system
rivaling in mileage and proftableness
many important steam railroad systems
of the country. Should he SELL how
ever, it is confidently predicted that he
would go to Northern California or
Washington for his new field and give
either San Francisco or Seattle such a
trolley system as neither city ever
dreamed Of
Should Hartman gobble up the
Southern California system, it is be-
lieved from his attitude on the subject
that all the contemplated extensions
and perhaps even those actually under
construction would be indefinitely ta-
bled and the earnings paid to the new
factors in control in the shape of divi-

Trials Completed in Four Days-Ves-

Rear Admiral HemphilI Is Pleased

BY Associated Press
BOSTON, Dec. S.-The battleship
Vermont, from the yards of the Fore
River Shipbuilding and Engine COM
pany of Quincy, successfully completed
all her government trials at sea this
afternoon, including a four-hour full
power and a twenty-four-hour endur-
ance test, and the usual turning and
backing maneuvers.
Her entire forward deck from stem
to bridge was encased in ice as the re-
suit of a thirty-six hours trip in a
northwest gale and zero temperature.
Tonight Rear Admiral Hemphill noti-
fled the secretary Of the navy that the
behavior of the ship had been excellent.
On the four-hour full power run yes
terday the Vermont averaged 1888
knots an hour. In the twenty-four-
hour test the average speed for 18.4a
knots an hour and the horse power
14,500. The requirements called for an
average of 1S knots at full power and
13, 200. horse power at two-thirds speed
The trials were held under the most
severe conditions yet undergone by a
government vessel, and the require
ments were all completed within four
days, which is the shortest period in
which battleship has been put through
her PAGES.

SOLONS TO MEET
IN Los ANGELES
MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE TO
GATHER TUESDAY
Conference on Desirable Legislation
20 Occur In the Chamber Of
commeree-Three In the
Race for Speaker

Next Tuesday morning senator's and
assemblymen Of Southern California
will meet in the chamber of commerce
In Los Angeles.
For several years 1t has been the
custom to hold such meeting for the
purpose Of consultation as to legisla-
ton necessary for the welfare OF
Southern California.
1t is expected that practically all OF
the members of both the senate ana
the assembly from the lower section OF
the state will attend Tuesdays con-
ference
The meeting probably will result in
the selection of a candidate for South
ern California for the position Of speak
er of the assembly, although the office
doubtless will go to a northern man.
p. A. Stanton of Los Angeles, War
rem Johns of San Luis Obispo and
Manuel Estudillo of Riverside have
been mentioned for the position OF
speaker, but as none is considered a
strong organization man, 1t is prob
able that some assemblyman closer TO
the machine will be decided upon as
Southern California's candidate for the
honor.
Representative Beardsley of Stock
ton is q northern candidate for speaker.
Bennie Cohn, chief lieutenant of
Walter Parker, will probably be chosen
sergeant-at-arms of the house.
Republicans in Control
According to returns from the re-
cent election received by Secretary OF
State Curry, the next legislature will be
overwhelmingly Republican, with that
party having a large majority of both
houses.
The senate will be composed of 27
straight Republicans, six Democrats,
one non-partisan and six Republicans
indorsed by the Union Labor party.
The assembly will consist of fifty
seven straight Republicans, four Demo-
Gratis, one Independent league man and
eighteen who received the Endorsement
of the Union Labor party, they in the
majority of instances having been
nominated by the Republicans.
In the list of senators and assembly
men published below, those whose party
affiliation is not marked were elected
on the straight Republican ticket.

FIRE CHIEF LIPS
LIFE IN PERIL
IS NEARLY OVERCOME BY
SMOKE
Dragged from Death once by Flremer
He Again Plunges Into Danger
and Is Rescued SEQ
ond Time

Overcome by the smoke from
smoldering rolls of paper and yet at
tempting In sheer desperation to crawl
t. safety, Fire Chief Walter Lips was
rescued from the basement of the burn
ing building of the Pioneer Roll Paper
company on South Los Angeles street
yesterday afternoon, just as q tumbllng
mass of paper swept over the spot
from which the rescuers had dragged
him.
The alarm came in from the paper
ccmpany's building at o'clock, and
Lips was one of the first men to reach
the spot 1t was the third fire in the
same companys works within a year,
the first fire causing damage of more
than 100000 and the life of one of the
firemen, while the second was put
under control with little loss.
Yesterday afternoon, remembering
the earlier blaze Lips rang in third
alarm and started - the head of the
first hose line for the building. The
smoke was pouring in clouds from the
cellar windows at 219 South Los An
geles street. Spontaneous combustion
had caused the blaze among the rolls of
tightly wrapped tar and white paper In
the basement, and 1t had probably been
smoldering for hours when discovered.
The basement was filled with smoke,
just a dense gray wall of it. There
was no fire to be seen, as it smoldered
low beneath the paper, and there was
only one thing to do and that was to re-
lieve the basement of smoke and flood
the cellar.
Lips Overcome
Lips went down first and left his men
in an attempt to fight his way to the
rear of the building and open up the
windows he thought were there. His
men were gradually beaten back by the
smoke to emerge choking and splut-
tering. Two members of company 8
were carried from the basement by
their comrades. Both boys were over
come by smoke, but were quickly re-
vived and sent back to the fire.
But Lips failed to appear. Time after
time his men dashed forward to find
him, and at last they reached him. He
was staggering along trying to reach
the sound Of the swishing water so as
to follow it to safety. When he was
brought out and revived he stayed out
but a moment before again plunging
back into the smoke in the basement
For the second time he was dragged
out by his men, and the boys settled
down to the work of flooding the base
ment.
The building carried a stock of $75,-
900, with $4,000 insurance. The dam
age, confined to paper ruined by water
will not exceed $4,000, If that much.

Conditions in the flood-stricken city
of Clifton are now slightly improved.
Clear, mild weather is to the advan-
tage Of the homeless refugees. The
work of clearing away mud and debris
is progressing slowly, the city being
still without water, lighting and tele-
phone service, while journeying over
the town is difficult and dangerous.
party of searchers saw a human
arm protruding from the mud, and
digging down they recovered the bodies
of six unidentified Mexicans. 1t is
certain that the death list is large,
although but two Americans are
known to have perished. A strong
guard Is still maintained and four
men have been shot for looting. Eff
forts will be made to run a train out
of the city tomorrow The cry is for
a new Clifton to be built upon higher
grounds.
