LOS ANGELES POPULATION
25L465

The population OF Los Angeles today
exceeds a quarter Of a million.
That statement Is attested by the
enumeration of the city directory com
pliers eliminating July l. plus the
ratio Of addition between that date and
the present time. with the addendum
Of relative increase from July 1 to
August 81, as figured by The Herald,
the city's population at the end Of this
month will be 25i 4so.
The compilation Of the Los Angeles
city directory on April 1, based on ac-
tual enumeration OF all residents-not
on estimates based on directory names
showed a population at that date of
22S, 29S. The revision and addition
bringing the figures down to July 1
gave an increase of 1880, making the
total at the latter date 242, 1877. Taking
the ratio of increase in the three
months prior to July 1 as a basis Of
calculation for July and August we get
an Increase for those two months Of
1886 Add that increase to the 242, 1877
and the total for August 81, next Fri
day. will be 251 14sS.
In the five months from April to
August inclusive the increase in the
city's population has been 2S,165. At
that ratio the increase for the year
April l. 1906, to April 1, 1907, will be
1886. Add that to the figure for last
April 1 and the total for next April
will be 2S3, ,s94 Taking into account
the constant progression in the ratio,
however, it is obvious that April 1,
1907, will witness a Los Angeles popu-
lation approximating 100000
The growth of the city within the
last four or five months has been much
more rapid than it was in the preced-
ing five years, wherein the population
doubled. This extraordinary increase
is attributed to the large influx of
home seekers from San Francisco. In
stead of any diminution in arrivals
from that city there Is rapid in
crease in the proportion, as shown by
homes and business places.
The progress Of Los Angeles makes
the telegraph poles look like a high
fence, sure enough.

CHICAGO TOURIST IS
TAKEN BY SURPRISE
FINDS LOS ANGELES NOT LIKE
WINDY CITY
Carries Concealed Weapons for Pro.
lection, Because It Is Done in Chi
oago, and Pays $5 Fine for His
Little Mistake

W. A. Bell, a Chicago tourist stop
ping at the King Edward hotel. was
rudely shocked yesterday morning
when he was arrested by the eagle.
eyed officer who patrols East First
street for carrying concealed weapons.
In vain the tourist protested that
firearms were not only permitted but
were in fact en- regle in the Windy
city.
Patrolman Pautz fixed the unucky
Chicagoan with his icy stare and said;
Just you come to the station. [
don't like the looks of you"
SO Mr.. Bell accompanied the police
man to the central station and deposit
ed bail for his later appearance in the
police court
When arraigned before Police Justice
Austin Mr. Bell informed the court he
was in the habit of carrying a revolver
of latest model for self-protection. He
said he went out early in the morning
to find a drug store and slipped his
gun into a side pocket just for precau-
tion.
on street corner he met the Off
Ger whose gaze was attracted to the
bulge in his pocket. An investigation
followed the gaze and thereupon the
officer hailed him to the station.
Several witnesses testified to the ex-
cellent character of Mr.. Bell and the
court let him off with fine of SIS, ad-
monishing him that the fair city of
Los Angeles was free from thugs, ow7
ing to an efficient police service, and
firearms were not necessary.
Inasmuch as most offenders found
guilty of carrying concealed weapons
are fined from SIS to $685. the court Off
cials congratulated the Chicago tour
ist on his easy escape.

TOURIST FILES A COMPLAINT
Critlcises the Regulations Now Gov
erning Central
Park

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27.-(Editor
HERALD: AS tourist from an Eastern
state, l find much to praise in your
delightful city, but you will kindly al
low me a small space in your columns
to express surprise at the regulations
| find your beautiful Central park.
A section in recent city ordinance
forbds the assembling of persons in
the parks, and another section forbids
public discussion therein, and these
sections are interpreted to mean that
no one shall remain standing, and no
question shall be discussed in the park
grounds. A special policeman has been
assigned to Central park toNsee that
these instruction are carried out. This
virtually means that persons going in
the park shall pass through, or sit
down and keep silent.
Already a number of persons, indig-
nant at this regulation. now sit in
parks in other portions of Southern
California, and there win certainly be
many more If the laws referred to are
rigidly enforced. Law-abiding Amerl-
can citizens will not long stay where
they can have no liberties, and I speak
for many visitors in writing this public
communication. AS a contributor to
Eastern papers l naturally turn to the
newspaper for hearing.

STOLEN DOVES COO
TO ANGRY PRISONERS
EMBLEMS OF INNOCENCE TEACH
GOOD LESSON
Officers Say Birds Set Example Of
CheerfuIness and Content and Feel
Better for Their Presence at the
Police Station

The billing and cooling of doves filled
the lower corridors of the police station
yesterday, while in the tanks" beyond
snarled angry prisoners, and wounded
men groaned with pain in the receiving
hospital.
More than two score birds were in
pens awaiting their owners, from whom
they were stolen, the police averred,
Saturday.
Detective zeigler, who was instru-
mental in the capture of three boys
Sunday, in whose possession the birds
were found, took pity on the pretty
captives and bought grain for them and
placed in each pen a bowl of fresh
water.
One of the homers found his mate
and together they perched on the side
of the bowl, preening their feathers
and talking in the dove language.
During the morning terrible acci-
dent occurred and soon the receiving
hospital was filled with injured, some
of whom skrieked in agony as the
surgeons dressed their mangled limbs.
But out in the corridor the pigeons
cooed sweetly, waiting for release from
their pent-up quarters, yet beguiling
the time with song.
"I tell you what, those little birds
set us fellows a good example," said
one Of the cops" 81 reckon the doves
would enjoy the freedom of their quar-
ters at Garvanza. 1t isn't natural to
be penned in a little coop. But they
make the best of it and coo away like
our last baby-sometimes.
Toward evening the owners of the
pigeons identified and took home their
property, and it was easy to imagine
the amount of conversation that was
cooed in the dovecotes all the night,
with such astonishing adventures to
relate to the stay-at-homes.

YOUNG sUHRE RESTS EASILY
Youth Who Was Hurled Through
Window Still In comatose
Condition

Edwin Suhre, son of Henry Suhre of
1887 East Sixth street, who was serl-
ously injured Sunday morning by being
thrown from his horse and hurled
through the front window of a Euclid
avenue car in Euclid avenue. was re-
ported resting easily last night at the
German hospital.
The attendant surgeons said 1t was
impossible 10 state whether the young
man would recover, as he is still in a
comatose condition.
Suhre sustained compound fracture
OF the left leg, numerous decorations
and suffered a slight conclusion OF the
brain.
He was first taken to the receiving
hospital and later removed TO the Ger
man hospital in South Soto street.

FIRST IN RACE TO START"
Long Beach Prohibitionist Replies to
an Editorial in The
Herald
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Aug. 27,-(Editor
Herald) In the Sunday edition of
your valuable paper 1 find an editorial
headed, First in the Race Start" in
which the editor expresses surprise at
the ''plucky determination" of the
Prohibitionists. This persistence arises
from the fact that we know we are
right and our politics is a very essen
tial part of our religion. We could
not abandon our politics and retain
our religion, hence our enthusiasm and
determination.
AS to our success, we are as certain
of it as we are that right is finally
omnipotent. This makes us willing to
fight it out on this line if it takes all
our lives, and to swear our children, at
the altar of our faith, to continue the
battle until every legalized rum shop
that debases our citizens shall be pro-
hibited.
AS to our determination to take
temperance straight" in this we have
the example of Christ, who formed nc
alliances with the forces of evil nol
ever lowered the standard to obtain
some temporary victory.
We think we stick to our principles
not like a burr to a cows tall" but
like the Christian to his faith, for which
he will gladly die. While we hold alofi
the banner of national prohibition, the
members of our party are always
found the leaders in every local move
ment looking toward partial prohibi'
tion.
The only answer to the charge thai
we, crab like" progress backward, il
that ii is not entirely true. We hav@
some thousands of Prohibitlonists now
in Office. 1t is true that in 1893 the
party split in two on the question OF
broad or narrow platform, but th'
figures given by the editor shows /
to have recovered, and II will, unless
all signs fail, poll one million votes a
the next national election.
We thank the editor for th'
confession that "nine-tenths OF tn
American people, probably a large
proportion agree that the liquor hald
is the greatest bane of humanity"
He might have added that this habi
Is nourished by the open saloon AM
that the saloon Is an institution of gov
ernment from which IL derives a reVe
nue.. The mission of the Prohibition
party is to rescue our government fron
this unholy alliance with criminal, pau
per and insane producers, thus washing
this foul stain from Old Glory's folds
50 that II may be, I'm fact, the banne
of the free. M. G. McCASLIN.

WHERE THE STRIKE HITS

In a dispatch descriptive OF the car.
mems strike IN san Francisco on Sun
day this statement appears: "From
early this morning until late tonight
Market street presented an animated
scene, in some respects similar to that
during the days Immediately following
the fire. long lines of men, women ano
children wended their way on foot tc
and from the ferry"
The so-called fight Of the carmen
against the railway managers is really
fight against the people, and particu-
lGrly the class known generally as the
common people as distinguished from
those who are in comfortable circum-
stances. The latter class suffered COM
paratively little because they have the
means requisite Tor hiring special con-
veyances. The dispatch states that
"owners of every kind of vehicle were
quick to take advantage of the situa-
tion. and did a thriving business. Au-
tomobiles, carriages md other vehicles
were brought into requisition."
The immediate sufferers from the
strike, therefore, were the class of peo-
pie, generally speaking, to which the
striking carmen belong. The class hRv-
ing means for hiring other conveyances,
including the stockholders in street
railway companies, suffered compara-
lively little discomfort from the nom
operation of cars.
Three interests are directly concerned
in the strike. They are the strikers, the
railway corporation and the public.
The railway earnings will be diminished
In proportion to the duration of the
tie-up. The worst that can happen to
that interest as result will be a rela-
tive decrease in revenue and possibly
temporary reduction in dividends. None
of the railway managers nor stock
holders will suffer hardship as a con-
sequence. None of their families will
be put on short rations, no matter what
the outcome may be.
The situation in respect to the
strikers will be quite different. They
and their families will suffer because
their necessities require the monthly
wages heretofore received. The meager
allowance that they may get from the
earnings of other workers, during the
strike, will fall far short of the re-
quirements for home comfort.
And the third class of sufferers from
the strike, the San Francisco nUblic,
will be in far the worst plight " all
because they number scores of thou
sands, now obliged to trudge the streets
wearily instead of riding in the cars.
So the direct consequences Of the
strike fritter down to a shaving off the
profits of railway operation, loss of
strikers wages entailing suffering
upon their families, and finally great
inconvenience and pecuniary loss to the
people and the business interests of San
Francisco.

MAKE EXPORTING GENERAL

| 1t would be well for all interests con-
cerned if an example set by Inspector
Hanley were followed by all other heads
of municipal departments in Los An
geles. Mr.. Hanley, who was street su-
perintendent prior to the merging of
that office in the functions of the board
of public works, made this request to
the board: II understand that the books
of the city engineers office are being
examined by experts, and l wish to
request that the books of my depart
ment be examined at the same time. "
That is a request that stamps an
honest and conscientious city official.
Honest Jim Hanley" was elected
street superintendent by an extraor-
binary majority as a Democratic can
didate, while most of the Republican
ticket won hands down." The same
public confidence manifested in the vote
for Mr.. Hanley is experienced today,
and the citizens of Los Angeles, of all
parties, are as confident now as they
were in December, 1904, that "Hanley's s
all right"
The board of public works acceded to
the request for expert examination of
the street departments books. 1t was
wise decision, but it's scope should
be extended, as intimated before, to
all other city departments. Such ex-
animation would not imply distrust of
any official. Large business establish
ments, whether conducted by individ-
uals, firms or corporations, are usual
ly subjected to expert examination at
regular periods. And a municipal gov
ernment is practically a business con-
Germ of which the people are owners
and the officials are employees.
But it is particularly important that
such expert examination as Inspector
Hanley requests be made, at this time,
involving all the municipal depart
ments. The necessity for maintaining
the city's financial credit at the high
est mark calls for absolute assurance,
demonstrated by rigorous investigation
proving that the public business is con-
Quoted in the safest and most me-
thodical manner possible.
The recent official admissions that the
system of accounting is defective In
certain departments are alone suffi-
cient incentive for Investigation. Such
defects imply opportunities for wrong
doing, and opportunity is a close re.
laton of temptation.
AS Los Angeles is known to eastern
inanciers as a large prospective bor-
rover of funds for public purposes, q
close scrutiny undoubtedly is kept upor
the management of our hduciary af.
fairs. The marketing of our bonds or
favorable terms depends upon the
standard of our credit in the eastern
financial centers. Any cause for sus.
picion about unsatisfactory methods oi
accounting, or of loose management II
other respects, must initiate against
the city's credit.
Inspector Hanley's example shoult
be followed by other heads of depart
ments. and whether followed or not, tn,
expert examination should be general
Serve 'em all alike.

The Los Angeles delegation to the
state Democratic convention has prop
erly declared itself in favor of Nathan
Cole, jr., for governor. Mr.. Cole is an
active and well known business man of
this city, with a clean record and
plenty of brains. He will get the vote
OF Southern California, with very few
exceptions, and no reason exists why he
should not be nominated. At the same
time, it should be understood. Mr.. Cole
is not a candidate except in the per-
mission given his friends to use his
name. If nominated he will accept the
honor and the responsibility. If not
nominated, he will be first to toss up
his hat for the successful candidate.
And that's the kind of a Democrat
Nathan Cole is.
