SUSPICIOUS
Inquest viii Be Held Today-Find-

That Man Died From
Violent Blow

WAS w. M. Mathews murdered or
did he die from the effects of blow
received in a car accident?"
These and similar questions puzzle
friends and relatives of the dead man,
Mathews died yesterday at his home,
lila West Ninth street. Death was
caused by a blow on the skull which
caused a fracture.
Mystery surrounds every phase of
the case but indications point to an
accident.
Mathews was brought to his home
Saturday evening in an unconscious
condition by the crew of a West Ninth
street car and several passengers. The
sight of the man covered with blood
so agitated the friends and relatives
that they forgot to ask particulars
until all had departed.
The man died without regaining con-
seriousness.
Tell of Mans Fall
Mathews had been employed in the
street department. On the day of his
death he left for the city early in the
evening and when next seen was un-
conscious and bleeding. The friends
of the deceased gave no thought as
to how he was injured when he was
brought to the house, because of agita-
Two men, whose names were not
learned, claim to have seen a man fall
from a car at Ninth and Sundry
streets about the time that Mathews
was brought home. They say that they
were standing on the street about $3.50
o'clock that evening and a man was
seen to fall when descending from
car.
The witnesses to the accident say
the man was the last of party to
leave the car. The car started sud-
denly as he was about to step to the
ground and he was thrown with great
violence. He lay as though unconscious
and was carried away by passengers.
Connection Not Clear
One of the strange features of the
case is that no one can be found who
was on the car at the time of the
accident. The connection between the
fall of the man and Mathews injuries
is not quite clear.
1t is understood that DR.. Campbell
performed an autopsy on the dead man
at Pierce Brothers morgue yesterday
afternoon and found evidence that
death was due to violence. Coroner
Trout has ordered an inquest to be
held today.
One strange feature of the case is
the fact that it was not reported in
the usual official way. 1t is presumed
and wish to keep the death as quiet
as possible for fear of foul play.
An interview with relatives of the
dead man was secured yesterday and
the facts concerning his death were
confirmed

EDITOR DE YOUNG
DENIES RUMOR
SAN FRANCISCO NEWSPAPER
MAN HERE FOR PLEASURE
Has No Intention of Starting Evening
Paper, but Is Lavish in His Pre-
dictIons for Los Angeles
Future

M. H. de Young, president and owner
of the San Francisco Chronicle, ac-
companied by his family, arrived in
Los Angeles last night and took apart
ments at the Hotel Alexandria.
Although loyal to San Francisco, the
well-known journalist is lavish in his
praise of Los Angeles, but regrets that
the rains spoiled an automobile trip
for him from Santa Barbara to this
city.
However, Mr.. De Young has faith
in the proverbial delightful climate
here and has shipped his machine by
steamer to this city.
Mr.. De Youngs mission to Los An
geles is purely one of pleasure. 1t was
rumored that he was about to establish
another evening paper here with the
Associated Press service, but he de-
MED that rumor last night, laughing
at the suggestion.
So far had Mr.. De Young gone in
the preparations for an automobile trip
to Los Angeles from Santa Barbara
that he had prepared his machine by
placing aboad it shovels and picks to
enable him to dig his way out of several
places where he had heard other auto
mobilists had successfully moored
themselves.
Laughable Auto Experience
II heard a great many stories about
the experiences of other auto parties
before 1 determined to take the trip
myself" said Mr.. De Young. In one
instance a party had attempted to pass
through a bit of roadway south OF
Santa Barbara and buried up to the
floor of the machine in the mire. The
f1ywheel unfortunately protruded some
distance below the car and when 1t
tried to churn its way through the mire
the party was brought to sudden
halt
"I concluded that l did not care to
add a similar experience to any of my
trips, so came to Los Angees by the
more prosaic method of travel. The
last accounts that | received of the
marooned party was that each of the
four occupants, in their shirt sleeves,
were digging the machine out of about
two feet of mud"
When asked as to his opinions of the
future of Los Angeles, Mr.. De Young
replied:
Great Future for Los Angeles
"There is a great future before Los
Angeles. / have not the slightest doubt
that the population will have Increased
50 per cent i'm five years.
at cannot be denied that the growth
of Los Angeles within the past few
years has been remarkable. Were Los
Angeles a seaport town instead of an
inland city there would not be so much
cause for marvel at its remarkable
progress, but since it is not seaport 1t
surely is wonderful. Personally [ have
much faith in Los Angeles and its
future.
"The idea that rivalry exists between
San Francisco and Los Angeles is err
roneous, at least so far as San Fran
cisco is concerned. OF course, 1t is
naturally believed by San Francisco
that Los Angeles, being smaller city,
is slightly jealous, but 1 believe that
idea is also exaggerated to an extent"

THE ADOPTION OF
THE METRIC SYSTEM.
Municipal journal.

An agitation which has been start
ed in a New York daily in favor OF
the immediate and wholesale adoption
o. the metric system follows the too
common course of missing the real
necessity of the case. This is as we
believe, to get rid of the perDlexing
array Of local and other measures,
whether Of length, weight or capacity.
and to decimalize the subdivisions of
the units ultimately selected for adOp-
ton in their stead. Instead of con-
centrating their efforts upon a scheme
Of this reasonable and practicable
character. the advocates of the metric
system glibly assume the existence of
some mysterious and awe-impelling
advantage in that Interpretation of
metric standards which, if the truth
be told, is merely the result of a con,
cession to the French passion for
academic unity and logical complete
ness. On paper, a plausible case can
be made out for the alleged scien-
tifc simplicity of being able. to refer
such diverse factors as the length of
a piece of cloth, the weight of a win
ter's coal and the volume of a cask
Of beer to a mythical proportion of z
particular geographical meridian. In
practice, this Wanted unity is not
the life-giving feature which the
metre-at-any-price people yainly
imagine. 1t is in the universal and COM
pulsory decimal subdivision that the
merit of simplicity is to be sought
and, granted that a suitable choice of
urits were made from the formidable
1Yr-f lob 1n to UN,fu1fgh
races, the same merit can be realizeI
from these as from an alien standard
which appears to exercise, upon
many minds, the influence exerted
by that blessed word, MeSopotamia"
upon a certain estimable female
We have no intention of minimizing
the inconvenience and loss entailed
by the present heterogeneous tumble
of barleycorns, firkins, yards, gallons

tain that an end should be made of
all but a necessary survival of ante
d:luvian monstrOsities which lay SUI
perfuous upon a stage too small to
give scope to their fearful and won
deTful capabilities. But this attitude
does not carry with it the conviction
that the metre should be chosen as
their successor, especially when, as
has frequently been urged by practi-
cal men, that standard labors under
serious disabilities, in it's linear side
in particular. Among these are, on
the one hand, the excessive length
o. the metre and ;On the other, the
unsuitable character of the millime-

practical sense the inch or the tenth
of a foot, lending itself much more

LIVELY MIx-UP
OF BATTLESHIPs.
The Marine Journal.


That vast the Ifveliest mix-up of bat
tleships that took place last Sunday
in, the lower bay that has ever hap
pened. Tho Kentucky, Kearsarge,
Alabama and Illinois, following the
flagship Maine, the only ship having
a pilot ON board, didn't follow the
flag" as ordered by Admiral Robley
D. Evans. The consequences was that
the Kentucky got out of the channel
and stranded enz the East bank; the
KearsargAs h the eHdeavor to clear
her. also went ashore; the Alabama,
being close aboard of the Kentucky at
the time, struck her glancing blow,
damaging the former quite badly. The
two stranded ships worked themselves
afloat within two hours, and all pro-
ceeded 20 sea but the Kentucky, which
vessel returned to the navy yard with
hole in her side and other damages.
The wind at the time was blowing a
gale from the west across the cnan-
mel, and the Kentucky not following in
the wake of the Maine, in charge of a
Sandy Hook pilot, caused the mix-up
with the ships astern Of her.
This is another case Of the parsi.
mony Of the Navy Department, or the
over-zealousnes Of naval officers in
attempting to navigate their vessels
in a somewhat intricate channel with
out a pilot. The officer who was con-
ming the Kentucky needed a pilot bad
ly to reinforce his judgm ent, which
was seriously at fault, and it was a
case of great good luck and superior
management on the part of the close
ly-fOllowing ships that more serious
damage was not done.
The battleships Of the United States
or any other country for that matter,
cost the taxpayers too much money to
be allowed TO run in and out of har-
bors without competent pilots to guide
them. If it is one of the requiem ents
of the Navy Department that it's Off
GERS should become pilots of our prin-
cipal ports, so that naval vessels can
enter them safely under their guild
ance, they should be obliged to serve
their apprenticeship in vessels less
costly than battleships.
Sinez-4fle foregoing was written, a
bill has Deen introduced in the House
of Representative by Mr.. Acheson, of
Pennsylvania, making it obligatory for
battleships and cruisers of the first
and second classes to have pilots on
board when entering or leaving ports.

Need Of immigration
