LOS ANGELES is NOW
LARGEST COAST CITY
BUSINESS MEN PREDICT PROSPERITY
Duties and Responsibilities of Metropolis Are
Thrust Upon Her and Prominent Men
Of Affairs Declare They Are Prepared
to Handle the Situation

Los Angeles has suddenly become the
largest city on the Pacific coast.
BY reason of the San Francisco dis
aster the southern city has had thrust
upon her the duties and responsible
ties of metropolis, and business men
of Los Angeles are preparing to meet
the situation.
The citys population was greatly in
creased by the arrival Of refugees,
many of them persons of considerable
wealth who cannot but be impressed
by the manifold advantages in South
ern California.
The financial interests of the coun-
try have, through this great misfortune,
gained an inkling of the solidity of the
banks in Los Angeles. Los Angeles
is at present especially fortified against
any adverse financial condition. Local
banks have received large shipments
of cash from the east. 1t was authori-
tatively stated yesterday by banking
officials connected with one of the
largest banking institutions of Los An
geles that more than $15,000,000 had
been sent to the local banks and that
the sum Is now distributed among the
various banking houses.
And ON all sides there is evidence
that business is brisk in all directions.
The Herald prints a few random in
terviews Just to show how the wind Of
prosperity is blowing:

bound to be ushered in at once in all

leave, and If they did they would be
liable to be killed by lightning or a
cyclone before they got to Chicago.
I'VE are all right, and life and prop
erty are perfectly safe in Southern
California; and we are going to have
the Fiesta, no matter what Collins
says. Everything was ready for the
Fiesta and the Shriners' coming before
the Frisco disaster, and the expenses
have been incurred and will have to
be met.
LOS Angeles cannot afford to give
up the Fiesta and the entertainment
planned for the visitors. There Is no
good reason why we should abandon
any enterprise. II Collins continues to
stand pat after two weeks, just see
what independent action will do for
Los Angeles. He may control the
imperial council, but he does not boss
the rank and file of the Shriners. And
you can say with certainty that there
will be no more Canadian potentates
on the Shriner throne"

REALTY WILL
BE BRISKER
IN THE FUTURE

"What effect the earthquake in Sar
Francisco will have upon the real es-
tate market in Southern California? II
is my candid opinion that Los Angeles
and all Southern California will ex-
perience the greatest real estate boom
that it has ever seen," was the opti-
mistic observance of Leroy M Gridel
of Grider & Hamilton, the big real es-
tate firm.
when the press of Los Angeles and
Southern California let's the world
know that Los Angeles and vicinity
have never experienced an earthquake
that has done a dollars damage, the
situation will improve.
"The newspapers should now let the
world know that while they are hav-
ing earthquakes and fires in San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles and all Southern
California have not been damaged
and are prospering.
'I have lived here for over fifty
years, and during that time I have
never experienced an earthquake that
has done a dollars damage. We never
had a cyclone or floods, and now is

DOCTOR AND DENTIST
ARE BOTH EXONERATED
PATIENTS SUDDEN DEATH WAS
UNAVOIDABLE
Abnormal Gland fastened Death of
Young Woman, Bringing on Heart
FaiIure-All Precautions Had Been
Taken

Both DR.. Frank D. Bullard and DR.
Adam Carlson were exonerated from
all blame for the sudden death of Miss
Ida Larson, who died in the operating
chair Wednesday afternoon at DR.
Carlson's office in the Mason building
while under the influence of an anaes-
thetic. The verdict was:
1--WE find that decedent came to her
death by shock occasioned by the ad-
ministration of an anaesthetic and the
extraction of teeth; that all precau-
tions were taken by Dentist Adam
Carlson and DR.. Frank Bullard, who
administered the anaesthetic. and we
find absolutely no blame chargeable. -
Miss Larson was employed as a do
mestic in the family of w. j. Foley,
1888 Menlo avenue.
On Tuesday she went to the dentists s
Office and after an examination of her
teeth she was told that fourteen teeth
required extraction. The girl returned
to the office Wednesday afternoon, and
fearing the pain, asked to have an
anaesthetic administered to her. DIR.
Carlson called in DR.. Bullard to assist
him.
She seemed to be in healthy con-
dition, but shortly after becoming un-
conscious her pulse began to fail. Ar
tificial respiration was resorted to, but
the girl died in few minutes without
recovering consciousness.
The body was taken to Pierce Bros
morgue and a post mortem examina-
tion was made yesterday. 1t disclosed
the fact that the girl had an abnormal
gland that caused heart failure.

DELAYS WORK ON
OUTFALL SEWER
CONTRACTORS ARE BAFFLED
BY SEA OF MUD
Excavators Find Floating Clay and
May Be r rced to Abandon
Section a. Change the
Route Of Tube

Stansbury & Powell, tn contractors
who are constructing the outfall
sewer from Los Angeles to the "a, are
very much worried and the fat that
they have discovered a natural phe-
nonenon that experts profess never to
have seen or heard Of before Is not
greatly relieving their unrest. 1t Is
probable that ON account of this phe-
nomenon $150,000 worth of work may
have to be abandoned and the outfall
sewer detoured.
West of Inglewood the excavators
have come on floating clay bottom.
This bottom has been uncovered for
only a short way and for six weeks the
latest improved pumps have been
working day and night to bail out the
muck. 1t is composed chiefly Of clay in
a liquid form and the pumps cannot
work more than a few minutes at a
time before becoming clogged up.
In six weeks only six feet of tunnel
has been constructed and City Engineer
Stafford became so nervous over the
delay that he took the question up with
the board of public works. Wednesday
the board with Contractor Powell and
the city engineer went to lngleWoOd
and investigated the battling phenome-
non.
With them were several mining ex-
perts from Arizona, Colorado and Mon
tana who were as much surprised as
the members of the board of works.
They declared that in all their expert
ence7 they had never seen or heard of
such thing.
May Lose $15o,ooo
Efforts were made to sound the bot
tom of the sea of clay but these proved
futile. Apparently there is no bottom
to the mess.
The question of the depth is not as
important as the length of the OBJ
stacle to be overcome. Should it prove
to be thousand feet or more in length,
the contractors and the city engineer
declare this section of the tunnel will
have to be abandoned and the work
done somewhere else. Should it be but
few hundred feet long. however, it is
believed the side walls of tn brick tun-
mel can be made so strong that the
weight can be borne without resting
on solid bottom.
The section of the tunnel that has
come to temporary halt on account of
this peculiar state of affairs was to
have been $4,000 feet long. Already &c.

NEARLY SEWERS WRIST
Cook Tries to Break Down Restaur-

Now at HospitaI

Jack Mauphine, a cook at the Texas
Chilli parlors. 537 South Main street,
thrust his arm through a glass door at
the restaurant yesterday morning and
severed the arteries in his right wrist.
The man was nearly dead from loss of
blood by the time he arrived at the
receiving hospital. By quick work on
the part of the police surgeons the flow
of blood was stopped. The man will
recover.
1t is said that Mauphine was intoxi-
Gated and tried to create disturbance
in the restaurant. AS he started to
leave he tried to kick the door down
and smashed the glass with his hand
almost severing it at the wrist. He
became delirious in the hospital and
was constantly watched by an attend
ant.

Relief measures for the sufferers
from the earthquakes and fire in CEN
trail California and prevention of dam
age to the interests of Los Angeles
by false reports were the topics of dis
cussion at the regular meeting of the
Los Angeles Realty board yesterday.
The boards relief committee reported
that the pledge of $4,000 from the
real estate agents of Los Angeles had
been fulfilled More than that amount
had been contributed and some belated
subscriptions are still coming in. There
was collected by the committee in cash.
$5,512.25, while $7,065.25 was subscribed
directly through the committee, the
balance of the $4,000 having been sub
scribed by realty men through other
funds before the committee called upon
them.
AS a matter of fact. a large addi-
tional sum was thus subscribed in
amounts not reported to the committee.
successfully to this end were w. M.

Will Refute False Reports

The following were appointed a spe-
cial committee to confer with the cham
ber of commerce relative to renewed
vigor in advertising Los Angeles and
the refutation of false reports as to
alarm or damage in this city: Gilbert
Wright, chairman; w. G. Griffith (of
Realty Trust company and Walter e.
Brown.
1t was announced that benefit per-
formanec expressly for the assistance
of San Jose would be given at the Bur-
bank theater, and it was resolved by
unanimous vote that the board should
attend this performance in body. As
San Jose was to have been the meet
ing place for the annual convention
of the State Realty federation sched-
uled for next. month the disaster in
that city appeals especially to the real
estate men. The convention has been
postponed until later in the year.
