THE SKYSCRAPER CLASS

A new test of a city's claim to metro
politan distinction has been accepted
within the last few years. Title to the
claim is recognized now when city
reaches the skyscraper period IN It's
growth. A city that has not reached
that stature is on a relative level with
a boy in knickerbockers. The boy may
be big for his age, and may think he is
bigger, but he counts as a. cipher
among boys who have attained the
dignity of trousers.
1t was not long ago when Los An
geles made it's metropolitan debut, with
skyscraper credentials. But a stranger
would hardly suspect that the coming
of the first structure of that class was
so recent as the facts prove. Half
dozen years ago there was not build
ing In the city that rose above five
stories, that now is in mind, but at the
present time tall structures of the real
skyscraper variety, as seen in the lead
ing eastern cities, have become COM
mon here.
More important still, evidence is at
hand to show that Los Angeles is just
at the entering edge of its skyscraping
era. Not less than eight or ten tall
modern buildings, designed for COM
mercial or office purposes, are in vari-
Gus stages of progress. They are of the
highest type of such structures, as is
evidenced by the fact that they will
average in cost, including the land,
nearly or quite $1,0OOO0O.
Los Angeles is in the metropolitan
skyscraper class, all right.

BLACKMAILER LANDS IN JAIL
New York Train Clerk Who Makes
Attempt Is Caught Red
Handed
BY Associated Press


NEW YORK, April 10.-Homer Haw-
kins, a train clerk, was arrested at the
Melrose station, One Hundred and
Sixty first street, and locked up on the
charge of attempted blackmail.
The complainant is Louis r. Fuller,
a Harvard graduate, who is in business
with his father at 81 Fifth avenue. The
police say that Hawkins is nephew
of Fuller.
According to the police, the blackmail
was based on the threat of information
by Hawkins, that Fuller's conduct was
such as to jeopardize his engagement
to marry a Miss Rowthan. A threat
of exposure was contained in letters
sent to the latter and a personal in a
newspaper Sunday morning paved the
way for the payment of $500 as the price
of silence.
Hawkins was arrested by detectives
near the railway station, where a meet
ing between Hawkins and Fuller haI
been arranged under the direction OF
the police. The officers seized Hawkins
after he had accepted a roll of marked
bills from Fuller. The prisoner strus--
gled samely, drawing a revolver but
was quickly overpowered.
Fuller is the son of DR.. Frank ruler,
territorial governor of Utah in Linz
coins administration. DR.. Fuller mar
ried a sister of Jacob H. Thompson, an
editorial writer on the New York Times,
who was killed on September II last
in his rooms in the St. James hotel

suburbs of Los Angeles. The purchasers
of the big ranch as stated. are II. e.
Huntington and a number of his asso-
ciates, whose names are recognized as
those Of prominent Los Angeles capital
lists. The property affords a direct
railway route between the city and the
seaside towns now served by the cleo
trio railway company which recently
was purchased by F.. II. Hartman. 1t
is presumed that Mr.. Huntington's pur-
pose is to enter into competition with
the lines included in that purchase, the
only alluring interurban field from
which he has hitherto been barred.
This latest project of Mr. Huntington
and his associates means large eX-
tension of the splendid interurban SER
vice already in operation, also the open
ing up and development of convenient
home sites for the thousands that are
swelling the population of this city.

MORE RANCH DISSECTION

Again the curtain before the greater
Los Angeles of the future is lifted a
little, just enough to disclose a glimpse
of further suburban. expansion. An
other of the few remaining big ranches
of the olden times is doomed to the
dissecting knife of subdivision. A ranch
of 5000 acres. nearly five square miles,
lying not far beyond the city's western
boundary. has at last been brought
within the suburban home circle.
More important than the promise OF
early conversion of this property into
home sites is the evidence that the pur-
chase carries with it an assurance OF
'Still greater railway expansion in the

EXCHANGE HOT WORDS DUR
ING DISCUSSION
Poem by Arizona Woman Favoring
Statehood Read by Delegate Mar

Humorist
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON April 1O.--For seven
hours today the house had under con-
sideration the postofiice appropriation
bill, but in only a few instances were
the provisions considered.
During the debate on the special APP
preparation for railway mail pay hot
words were exchanged between repre-
sentatives from North Carolina, Arkan-
sas and Kentucky, but all were within
the rules of the house.
A humorous speech was made by j.
Adam Bede of Minnesota. and Charles
A. Towne of New York spoke in behalf
of the jamestown exposition.
Both Mr.. Bede and Mr.. Towne repre-
sented the Duluth district in Minnesota
in other congresses. They were warmly
congratulated on their speeches.
Marcus A. Smith, delegate from Ari-
zona, rose, not to make speech, he
said, on the statehood situation, but to
read poem by an Arizona woman,
Charlotte M. Hall, entitled Arizona
in favor of statehood for Arizona.
Without regard to the merits of the
bill, Mr.. Bede of Minnesota arranged a
text for speech, brilliant in it's humor,
by having read a resolution creating
four states out of the state of Texas
At $40 the committee rose and the
house at 5:25 adjourned until tomorrow
at 1 o'clock.

PROHIBITION AND BUSINESS

The perennial liquor question appears
to have been more distinctly in evidence
than usual this spring in the municipal
elections of Southern California cities
and towns. 1t is noticeable also that in
the more ambitious of these communi-
ties the spirit of commercialism looned
up at least to level with the od-fash-
ioned issue of home liquor consumption,
All these cities and towns are emulous
of Los Angeles as an attraction to tour
lists with well-lined pockets, and the
liquor question in relation to such visit
ors has become a paramount issue.
Even the old guard of prohibitionists
wavers in some instances before the
straight proposition that a prohibition
town is as repellant to tourist coin as is
the negative fob of an electric battery
to a needle. The most Jealous pro-
hibitionist is eager to see the wealth
of his community swelled by the
strangers money-eager to see his towr
become a magnet of attraction fol
tourists-hence the mental conflict be-
tween self-interest and conscientious
conviction.
Monday ended hot municipal cam
paigns in several of these cities. In Red
lands, for instance, the election hinged
solely on the issue whether tourists
staying at the city's swell hotel should
be permitted to have wine served will
their meals. Even the party favorint
such privilege objected to saloons .
any kind. But the stake was the tour
ist travel and the prospect of a ney
100000 hotel in case the wine-with
meals won.
And so both prohibition and religion
seem to be strongly tinctured with com
mercialism nowadays.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-11

Business men, professional men, tour
lists and night workers are unanimous
in their expression of opinion that a
crying need of Los Angeles is an owl
car service. Such a service is deeply
important to the progress and pros
perity of the city and the time has
arrived when it would be reasonably
profitable to the street railway manage
ment Mr. Huntington has never failed
the people Of this city when they really
demanded anything, and the city has
considered Mr.. Huntington full part
ner in it's growth and enterprise. Let
there be a continued fair exchange of
accommodations. Mr. Huntington can
by q word please the people in their
desire for the owl car service. Will he
not act promptly and graciously?

NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS

Even before action was taken by the
city council The Herald declared itself
in favor of the proposition to issue
81 500 900 of bonds for much needed pub
lie improvements. And now that the
council has fixed upon May II as the
date for an election by which to author
ize the issue of such bonds, The Herald
reiterates its opinion that the people
can do no better than approve the plan.
1t is officially declared that the money
to be derived from the sale of these
bonds will be used as follows: Bridges,
S2S7 500; sewers, $2S7 500; storm drains,
s225, 900: fire department, $200,OO0; park
department, 100000 police department,
$4,000.
The only objection that could possibly
be raised to such a division of the
money is that the amount appropri-
ated to the police department is just
one-half what it should be- STILL all the
other necessities are equally urgent,
and it would be difficult to make more
equitable or judicious apportionment.
Angelenos need not be reminded how
badly the city needs sewers and storm
drains. We have just passed through
another rainy season that has inn
pressed our delinquencies in this re-
spect upon every inhabitant. Consid-
ering the enormously rapid growth of
Los Angeles, the city has done fairly
well in the construction of sewers, but
the time has come when the sewers
we have will not suffice. In the inter-
est of health the sewage districts must
be extended, and storm drains have
become an urgent necessity
In the matter of small parks, avail
able land is disappearing so rapidly
that within short time there will be
no chance to build parks. Property
must be purchased now or never.
Bridges are necessary for the quick
transfer of persons and vehicles from
one section of the city to another. The
bridges already proposed are to span
Los Angeles river to carry trolley lines
along with them. This means rapid
transit and is in the interest of all
householders.
The fire department absolutely re-
quires more engine houses and more
engines. The city has spread itself
out so rapidly and in a sense so uneX-
pectedly that there is great lack of fire
fighting facilities. With the money
proposed to be obtained these needs
can be partially supplied. There will
be no argument on this point.
Altogether. therefore, no apparent
reason exists why these improvements
should not be approved by a unanimous
vote in favor of the bond issue. An
issue of bonds is required because the
city revenues, as at present distributed,
are not sufficient or available for any
of the purposes named. Los Angeles
is building big and building for the
future. Some of the expense should
fall, by right, upon succeeding years,
so that all who profit by or enjoy the
improvements may help carry the bur-
den of their construction. Hence every
body should vote yes.

Says Government Should Participate

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Mr. Towne
declared, during his speech on the
jamestown exposition. that it would be
difficult to oVerestimate the significance
of the celebration of the landing at
jamestown of the first permanent Eng
lish speaking colony on this hemis-
phere.
The object seemed to him so worthy
and important as to justify the govern
ment in participating in the commerce
ration of the event. In his remarks he
said:
Never has period of similar dura-
tion witnessed such transformation and
such progress as that whose close is to
be so appropriately commemorated at
jamestown in May of the coming year
in military organization and equip
ment, in naval architecture and arma-
ment. and in the whole domain of in
dustry it would be impossible to cite a
parallel. Nor could there be found a
place in all America so appropriate to
an impressive demonstration of this
marvellous change as the fair domain of

WOMEN AGREE ON HOW TO

Secret Is to Keep Him From Know

cIsees Highland Park
y = Club Women

How to manage husbands and how
to keep house!
The men who score women's clubs
because they take the minds of their
wives from homes and husbands
should have been listening at the key
hole yesterday when the Highland
Park Ebel club met to discuss these
all important subjects.
The men might have been forever
converted and perhaps they might have
been-well, The women may be given
the benefit of the doubt.
Not all of them believe in the theory
which was the prize winner in a re-
cent contest, which is to feed the
brute"
The theory was discussed and there
We're some who admitted it has good
points, but the general opinion was
that something else must go alonS
with the food.
The meeting was in charge of the
home section, of which Mrs. d. NJ
Hammack is director, and the discus,
sion brought out many interesting
pieces of advice.
First Control Yourself
"The best way for woman to con-
troll her husband is to learn to con-
troll herself" was the advice of one
woman and her sister club members
seemed to agree with her.
She told story of her early married
life.
IT was alone all day" she said, "ano
when my husband came home at nigh
l was grieved if he did not talk to me
One evening felt worse about it thar
usual and / spoke to him. He was {
newspaper man and lawyer and 1 knew
he worked hard all day.
eff you only knew what HEAVIER
it is to come home and be with you
and to feel that / need not talk unless
L want to, you would understand ht
said, and l did. We never had an
other word on that question"
The give and take system was adVo-
vocated by another woman, and she
declared that tired man should moi
be expected to talk.
Still another member expressed the
opinion that husbands should not bt
managed at all, but this theory did moi
meet with the approval of the meet
ing.
"Every man needs to be managed
but the secret of success ia to keel
him from knowing that he is being
managed" said another, and then th'
women turned 70 the discussion OF
the good things that grandmother
used to make" and some TREASURED
recipes were exchanged.

Senator Bailey's great speech in the
United States senate yesterday was a
masterpiece of legal argument. He
abundantly proved his contention that
while congress could not deny to the
railroads the right of appeal from a
decision of the interstate commerce
commission. it certainly could limit that
appeal to the supreme court. The SEN
ator held that congress has the power
to utterly abolish, if it chooses, the i'll
ferior federal courts and hence it must
have the power to limit their jurisdic-
ton. His amendment to this effect will
probably be added to the Hepburn

For supplying San Francisco with

Los Angeles can secure a more perma-

any offered to San Francisco, for SO,
600, 900. And with the Owens river
water and power combined the returns
to the city will wipe out the cost.
