SUMNER BEGINS TOMORROW

Three or four days ago. when the
mercury was kissing the 10O-degree
mark on the thermometer, it would
hardly have been safe to answer the
hot enough" inquiry by saying This
is not summer" But it was not sum
mer then, nor will it be summer until
o'clock tomorrow morning. The sum-
mer solstice is astronomically scheduled
this year, as indicated by Washington
mean time, for June 20, 3 O'Clock a. IN.
Therefore, today we are stil in the
spring season, but tomorrow we shall
be in summer
With the exception of perhaps half
a dozen days altogether, appearing in
two groups, we have had no noticeably
warm weather thus far the present
year. AS The Herald reminded its
readers some weeks ago. when the lack
OF sunshine was in evidence. our springs
are normally cool, and settled warm
weather need not be expected until
about the middle OF June

A RED LETTER DAY

In the annals of Los Angeles a "red
letter" will mark the date June 10, 1906.
The record will show that on the day
noted the first million dollar building
was officially begun in the City of the
Angels. 1t will be shown, further, that
the firm of Hamburger & Sons obtained
a permit for the great structure and
that the firm had the distinction of pay
ing the largest sum ever received by
the building department, down to that
time, for a building permit
But the significance of the million dol
lar building permit is of broader con-
sequence than the breaking of the per-
init record. 1t exempl1es, most strik-
ingly the saying that money talks"
1t draws attention to the Los. Angeles
of the past, marks the Los Angeles of
the present and points to the Los An
geles of the future.
Hundreds of hale and hearty citizens
remember the modest little store on
North Main street where the seed of the
present business of Hamburger & Sons
was planted. These citizens have seen
the seed sprout and grow in the genial
warmth of Southern California pros
perity to the stupendous proportions
indicated by the starting of a million
dollar structure in which to house the
business. And the sagacious managers
of that business now show their un-
bounded confidence in the city's future
by giving tangible form to Secretary
Shaw's advice to Los Angeles people,
Build big-build for the future"
A walk through the leading business
thoroughfares of Los Angeles today
will show probably not less than $1O,-
100000 worth of large and costly mod
ern structures in course of erection.
Every one of these buildings is a monu-
ment to the judgment of capital in the
future growth and greatness of Los
Angeles. Outside the business section
are thousands of homes, in various
stages of construction, every one attest
ing supreme confidence in the belief
that this city is the ideal home site-the
ne plus ultra of earthly habitation.

BOY HERO SAVES

BURNING LAMP ON CHAIR WAS
ACCIDENTALLY UPSET
Five Families Live in House on GLADYS
Street Where Two Children
Narrowly Escaped Being
Cremated

Mary, the baby daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. e. l.. Mercer of 514 Gladys ave-
nue., narrowly escaped death by fire last
evening at Z o'clock.
The little one was asleep in a room
in which there was only Roy Mercer, a
-year-old lad. In some manner
which he was unable to explain the boy
overturned a kerosene lamp which was
upon q chair. The lamp exploded and
in few seconds the room was ablaze.
The boy did not call for help but at
tempted to put out the blaze himself.
He failed to do so and when the flames
were seen from the street by M. j.
Baldwin he turned in an alarm. The
fire was quickly extinguished and the
property loss was about $500. The baby
was taken from the room by fireman
just as the bed caught fire. The little
one was uninjured except that the
smoke had nearly overcome it. The
furniture in the room and the clothing
belonging to Mr.. and Mrs. Mercer were
completely destroyed. The house is
the property Of Mrs. M. Lamb. Five
families live in the house, but none
suffered loss except the Mercer family

TAKE a rRnSH SrARr

II is thoroughly convincing state
ment Of the case that President Butler
of the consolidation commission makes
in HIS letter to Governor Pardee. Quite
properly Mr.. Butler says, in conclusion.
Il now consider this matter between
you and me a closed incident" From
the beginning to the end Of the contro-
versy the gVernor's action has been
characterized eby subterfuge and
trickery. He has acted in accordance
with his natural bent for duplicity and
double dealing.
But the governor has accomplished
the main purpose at which he was
aiming. He has won the promise of
support from Abe Ruef and the San
Francisco Republican ring I'm his fren-
zied longing for denomination. Prob
ably his only dread now, in respect to
the nomination, is that his San Fran
cisco hackers may prove as recreant to
their promise as he was in his prom
ise to the representatives of Los An
geles.
AS the controversy now is a "closed
incident" Los Angeles should promptly
give attention to the situation at home
This city always has been able to take
care of itself, and the rebuff received
from the governor and his San Fran
cisco sponsors will serve only as
stimulus to greater independence in
future. At the same time the rebuff
will not be forgotten when the oppor-
tunity occurs to square accounts with
the responsible persons.
The broad project for city and county
consolidation is sidetracked for the
present. but there is nothing to pre-
vent the territorial expansion of Los
Angeles whenever that may be deemed
desirable by the communities interested.
Los Angeles heretofore has absorbed
contiguous territory by the initiative
of all interests, and can follow the pre-
cedents now. There never has been,
and never will be, desire on the part
of Los Angeles people to draw unwiII-
ing outsiders within the city's boun-
daries. That fact was well known to
pONOiAiOl OIL oSts W lHG Odll II dllCloCO
steering committee and to every intel
ligent member of the legislature. The
idea that Los Angeles attempted toI
enmesh neighboring communities, in
opposition to their wishes, was simply
The consolidation plan must for the
present be adapted to circumstances
What was intended to be done as a
whole must be done piecemeal. The
first step in this procedure is for Los
Angeles to determine what part of the |
outlying territory might be annexed
with benefit to the city and to the said |
territory as well. Following that de-
,ision should come the initiative test,
by popular vote, to decide the question
If annexation. And to make sure of no
it would be we'll for the
outlying district first to declare its
wish on that issue.
The consolidation project is back to
he starting point. There has been no
essential loss by the backset. Now
make fresh start, adopting the maxim,
BE sure you're right, then go ahead"

HELD U? IN HIS OWN STORE
Robbers on Central Avenue Perpetrate
Bold Deed and Get
AMaU

While showing cheap set of harness
to man in his store last night John
Herr, 1211 Central avenue, was told oy
a second man to hold up his hands, and
while the harness maker held up his
hands he was robbed of $50.
The police were Immediately notified.
Herr says a heavily built man en-
tered his store at o'clock yesterday
evening and asked to be shown some
cheap harness.
Herr took the man to the rear of the
store where the harness was kept, and
as the light was turned on a second
man appeared who ordered the harness
maker to hold up his hands. Herr says
he was robbed of $50 and that both men
left by the rear door.
A good description is given of both
men as they left by the rear of the
building they were said to have been
seen coming toward Main street
Detectives Jones and Boyd were de-
tailed on the case.

INJURIES END IN DEATH
Clarence M. York Falls or Jumps
From Hospital Window at
Washington
BY Associated Press,

BY ASSOCl9teu ffeHE-
WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Clarence
M. York, private, secretary for many
years to Chief Justice Fuller Of the
supreme court of the United States,
early today jumped or fell from a win
dow at Garfield hospital and received
injuries from which he shortly after
ward died.
No one saw him when he went
through the window.
1t was learned that York yesterday
afternoon at the emergency hospital
was treated for slight injury to his
face. which he said had been received
by falling from a street car
At the hospital it was said that York
had been drinking.
Later he was conveyed to his apart
ments in the Logan, where he was at
tended to by his family physician.
When the doctor visited him again
at night he found the dressing had been
removed. 1t then was decided to take
York to Garfield hospital to have new
dressing applied. This done, York was
sent to a ward.
AT the time he was perfectly rational.

A contracting firm has propounded
this conundrum to the boarG OF public
works; The firm furnishes sprinkling
wagons, the city furnishes the drivers.
who are compelled to pass a civil SER
vice examination; suppose a driver Is
found to be deaf, incompetent and care
less and thereby horse is killed and a
wagon damaged-who pays the bill?
It's a very pretty question. but it looks
as though the civil service commission
should pay.
