Judge Dillon Tells Needs
Judge Dillon briefly referred to
the causes which have led up
to the consolidation movement, and
pointed to the phenomenal growth Of
Los Angeles in the last few years He
also called attention to the fact that
among the greatest of the present needs
of the city are water supply that
will be sufficient to permit of its still
greater growth and adequate harbor
facilities. Both of these needs, he
said, the consolidation project is de-
signed to furnish.
There is nothing new or revou-
tionary in this proposition continued
the speaker. "San Francisco carried
out a plan of that kind in the SOS, and
London, in 1856, consolidated it's COR
poration with the metropolitan board
of works and thirty-eight vestries and
district boards. Paris is divided
into twenty arondissements, with
four subdivisions. Each arondisse-
ment has mayor with local
rights and powers for local purposes.
New York has five subdivisions,
called boroughs, as follows:
New York and Others
"First-Manhattan consisting of the
island of Manhattan and the outlying
islands naturally relating to it;
"Two-The Bronx; that is to say. all
that part of the present city of New
York lying north of the Harlem. q
territory which comprises two-thirds
of the area of the present city of New
York;
"Three-BrooklynJ
"Four-Queens, consisting of that
portion of Queens county to be incor-
porated into the greater New York
"Five-Richmond; that is, Staten
Island
Chicago, st. Louis, Denver and sew
eral other cities either have taken or
are about to take steps in this same
direction.
"The general plan adopted follows
that of London. The latest report OF
the Royal commission of 1894, selected
to recommend scheme for the COM
plete municipal unity of the metrop-
oils, says:
GA consideration of the evidence
we have received confirms the opinion
suggested by the course of previous
inquiries and in legislation. and of the
historical development of the metrop-
oils, that the government of London
must be intrusted to one body exer-
'cising certain functions throughout all
the areas covered by the same, and to
a number of local bodies exercising cer-
tain other functions within the local
areas, which, collectively, make UP
London.
L-ondon's Example
"'We are, in all cases, dealing with
areas which possess the characteristics
of town life, and the organization of
their joint and several governments
should be settled accordingly. London
is one large town, which, for conveni-
ence Of administration, as well as from
local diversities, comprises within
itself several smaller towns, and the
application of the principles, and still
more of the machinery, of the munich
pal government to the several areas
must be limited by conditions arising
from this fact
Carrying this general principle into
effect, in Greater New York, each of
the five grand boroughs has an auton-
omy and history of its own, which af-
fords ample room for local pride and
civic rivalry. Each of these boroughs
has a president elected by it's own

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, June 7.-Three
hundred dollars in confederate money
is said to have played prominent part
in the recent release from Mexican GUS
tody of j. Marshall Brooks, who was
recently arrested by Mexican rurales
and who escaped from their custody.
Brooks was wanted here for having
broken, Jail in company with Fl. r. Hall
and his wife. officials here have been
convinced that Brooks was in Lower
California and they have been seeking
to have the rurales round him up.
Some three months ago, according to
reports, the rurale guard learned
Brooks was at the house of Poncho
Crosthwaite, Justice of the peace in
that district. They surrounded the
place and arrested him, but he got
away, and now the officer of the guard
and Poncho Crosthwaite together with
his son Philip, have been placed under
arrest because of their failure to hold
the man when they had him.
Tries to Realize
The story brought up from the lower
country today is that when Brooks
was arrested or caught at the Cros-
thwaite place he gave $500 to Cros-
thwaite to square things if he could.
This money was In three $100 bills, and
it is stated that the officer in charge Of
the guard took the bills. These he
tried to realize on in Ensenada, and
there discovered that they were old
time confederate bills.
The authorities learned enough to
warrant the arrest of the officer and
justice and they will have to clear their
skirts of the charge of aiding in
Brooks escape. San Diego officers are
of the opinion that Brooks is still with
in the jurisdiction of the Ensenada au-
thorities and they are asking that an
other attempt be made to arrest him.

MURDERED MILLIoNAIRE's WIFE
Mrs. Garfield Was Seated on Front
Porch at Her Home In Los Angeles.


Porch at Her Home In Los Angeles.
Los Angeles. Jan. 28-Mrs. c. A
Garfield, wife of Multimillionaire anc
Oil Magnate C. A. Garfield, and 9
prominent society woman of Los An
geles, was shot and killed while sit
ting on the front porch OF her resi-
dence in the fashionable section of the
city. Her slayer was Morris Buck, a
former family coachman, who is in
custody. According to his own story
related to the officers who captured
him, Buck wrote to Mrs. Garfield, so.
Letting an interview and demanding
the payment of a large sum of money,
which he claimed to be due him. He
said his letter met with no response
and he determined to seek a personal
interview with Mrs. Canfield. He ar
rived at the Garfield mansion about
40 in the evening and found Mrs.
Garfield sitting on the porch. When
he renewed his demand for cash, she
ordered him off the premises. A SER
want of the household started toward
him and Buck drew a pistol from his
pocket. Mrs. Garfield grabbed the pis-
tol and attempted to wrest 1t from
him. During the scuffle, he pulled the
trigger of the weapon and the bullet
struck Mrs. Garfield In the breast and
she fell back on the porch.
Officers who arrested Buck after a
chase of several blocks are convinced
that the man is sane. According to
the version of neighbors, who witt
messed a portion of the tragedy, Buck
first shot Mrs. Garfield in the breast
and when she fell back on the porch
he leaned over and deliberately fired
another shot into her abdomen. The
first shot went directly through her
heart. On Bucks person, in addition
to the pistol with which he had done
the killing, were found a 3S caliber re-
volver, long dirk knife sharpened to
a razor edge and several loose cart
ridges. Buck is about 28 years old
and little is known of him.
G. A. Garfield left home a few days
ago in private car for an inspection
of oil properties in Mexico. He was
accompanied by two of his young |
daughters, ~ and IA years of age. |
