Hold on State Machine.

Pohticians are not at loss to under
stand the controlling motive in this little
game. Nobody thinks that President Roose-
veit has been hoodwinked by Senator PEN
rose Taking into Consideration the two
personalities the presumption would be
preposterous. The general idea among pol
iticians is that President Roosevelt has
merely taken steps to secure his hold upon
the pennsylvania state machine Politicians
nave been watching with close attention for
several months the success of President
roosevelt In getting hold of political or
carnations OF course he controls the ma
tional republican committee without ques-
tion The Star has heretofore pointed out
now the President has taken charge of the
New York political machine. He is abso-
lutely the master of that organization and
holds it in the hollow of his hand It is
well known how he mastered the Ohio ma
chine when he sent Secretary Taft to Ohio.
Knocked out Boss Cox of Cincinnati and
took hold of the situation. although it
caused the defeat of the republican candi-
Date for governor. 1t was prophesied last
fall that he would get Pennsylvania next.
Politicians do not especially criticize this
course of the Presidents, because they
realize there is no reason why he should
not, II he wants to, gather to himself these
political assets, but at the same time the
politicians cannot refrain from talking
about it.

FLING AT CANNED MEATS.
Request Injected Into Debate for Bar
on American Goods.

LONDON, June THE house of COM
mons reassembled today after the Whit
suntide recess and set to work on the army
appropriations. In the course of the de-
bate Hugh Cecil Lea. liberal "a newspaper
proprietor who has served in the British
and American armies), pressed the gov
ernment for an assurance that no more
American timed meat would be purchased
for the British army. He asserted from
personal observation that the conditions
under which it is packed are revolving.
War Secretary Haldane replied that he
would be sorry to insist that all timed
meats must be bought In the united king
DOM He intended to purchase wherever
he could procure the best and purest AMI
had already selected an officer who was an
expert IN these matters and had sent him
to the United States to inspect all tins
carefully before any We're purchased That
course would be pursued in the case OF all
timed meats.
Mr.. Lea asked II this officer would have
access to the factories and be able to see
how the work was done. to which the sec
retary replied; That is why am sending
him to America. He win see the meat
in process of manufacture before 1t is sent
here
Henry w. Forester, conservative, asked
whether the war Office had power to cancel
q contract III II was not SatlSHeQ with the
conditions under which the meat was
timed.
Mr.. Haldane said the war Office fortu-
nately had very wide powers under the
contract and intended using them to the
fullest esAent
The secretary added that the war Office
had bought large quantities of timed meat
In America and had large contract for
further supplies. At the present moment
the secretary reminded the house, the
United States was not the only place where
bad meat was turned out. The question
OF the purity of British products had been
raised at times in the past The whole
question required investigation. He knew
personally under what disgusting condi-
tons meat In some cases was packed In
the United States.

of the Los Angeles Metal Stamping
works, and by the use of his mechanical
knowledge has been able to produce
skate that local enthusiasts declare will
travel all over the world.
The Pacific skate, as it is called, is
built on original lines. The footboard
is turned around the edges, and can
not scratch a smooth floor. But its
principal parts of excellence are the
larger ball channels which, instead of
being three-quarters of an inch as in
other skates, are one and three-eighths
inches. This provides room for twenty
eight balls, the oiling and cleaning of
which form a feature in themselves
Felt washers are used in the channels,
and while these keep the balls oiled and
clean, no oil can drip down and soil the
floor.
The cushion is made extra large, and
with view to making quick changes,
the tension being capable of adjustment
at a moments notice. The rear trucks
are set well back, and all straps have
been done away with, the skate being
of the full clamping variety.
The good points of the skate and the
expressions of commendation from
those who have tried it make Mr.. Tay-
lor feel very hopeful over the pros
pect of it's speedy success.

WANT TENTS FOR
ELECTION BOOTHS

Thomas Mcclure of the San Fran
cisco board of elections was consulting
with City Clerk Lelande yesterday on
the election methods used in this city.
He was especially interested in the
tents and other temporary structures
used for polling booths.
He explained that heretofore San
Francisco had used portable houses
for it's polling booths, but during the
disaster all these houses were turned
over to the refugees and now the north
ern city has no place in which to cast
its ballots for Abe Ruef's candidates.
He expects to place an order with local
merchants for the rental of ninety-five
tents to be used during the coming
elections in San Francisco.

involved in legal proceedings until the
middle of the week.
Whether or not the heads of depart
ments who have been instructed by
Mr.. Dunn to prepare estimates of the
cost of running a late night street car
service have completed their work.
Dunn was not prepared to say yester-
day when seen at the California club
II had expected these figures would
be completed by the last of this week.

them my personal attention, but 1 was
Unexpectedly called out on the road

Il am not in a position to make posi-
tive promises as to what will be done
with regard to running an all night
street car service. | do not yet know
what it will cost 1t is not a question
of simply losing money, We can afford
to lose some money, but we cannot
afford to lose a fortune. l am certain
it will cost at least s10O a night for
power to operate these cars, in addi-
ton to the pay of the car crews that
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-26

must be employed on these cars. 1t
takes a good many nickelS to make a
dollar and to pay for the power alone
we would have to carry 2000 passengers.
That is a good many people to find
on the streets of this city between the
hours when the last regular car stops
and the first one in the morning be-
gins. But, as say, it is not question
of losing a small amount of money.
If we find we can do it and not lose
fortune 1t will be done. At least
some kind of service will probably be
maintained"
And that was as much as BILLY"
Dunn would allow himself to say yes
terday afternoon.
Those who know Dunn, however, and
heard of his utterances on the question
of "owl cars" yesterday, say that this
line of talk is Characteristic of the man.
He delights to look at the hard side
of a question and present its thorns
first in order that he may break them
off to get at the soft parts underneath.
Dunn's estimate of the cost of oper-
ating the cars, he readily admitted, was
all a guess and he did. not know even
approximately what the cost would be.
In any event his guess at the cost is
based on an all night service with cars
running more frequently than an hour

BUILD PACKERY
IN LA CANANEA
LOS ANGELES ENGINEERS TO
FURNISH PLANS
Reinforced Concrete Plant, With Fa=
ciIities for Flooding Floors, Will
Furnish Meats for Mexicans
by Next Year

r. A. Tovrea of La Cananea, Mex,
who is associated with Col. w. Q.
Greene in the Sonora Packing company,
arrived in Los Angeles yesterday and
Is at the Lankershim. Mr.. Tovrea and
his associates are preparing to erect
large packing house at Cananea and
he is here to consult Engineers Camp
and Huff relative to immediate con-
struction to insure completion by Janu-
ary.
According to Mr.. Tovrea the recent
troubles in Cananea between the Mexi-
cans and the Americans are over and
the talked about riots which are pre-
dicted to occur on the Mexican Inde-
pendence day next month will fail to
materialize.
There is no sign of trouble in the
big mining camp said Mr. Tovreu.
THE recent outbreak and the prompt
manner in which their government pro-
tected the foreign interests proved con-
clusively to the Mexicans that they
could not attempt to bother outsiders
without having to reckon with the
troops.
Just as an instance of how safe we
feel, look at the work contemplated
by our company. The new packing
house, for which Mr.. Camp drew plans
last week, will cost over S3500O The
equipment will all have II be shipped
in from this country and win be as
fine as money can buy. When COM
pleted the plant viii be the finest in
Mexico"
Cananea's new packing house will be
modern in every particular, The build
ing will all be of reinforced concrete,
the most tireproof and lasting material.
Concrete floors Will also be used and
will be arranged so as to allow flood
Ing at any time, thus inguring sanitary
conditions.
The entire plant viii consist of six
buildings of four stories each and a
power plant, and will cover an area
of ground Is by 200 feet in an oblong
stretch
A soap and candle factory will be
operated calling for a special invest
ment of $4,000 alone. A capacity of
10000 pounds a month is being figured
on for the soap factory, the products of
whlch VIII be marketed over Mexico
and the Central American states.
Active work on the new plant will
commence before the middle of next

Those who are eager for the owl SER

Mr.. Dunn that at first the night cars
