SENATORIAL INSOLENCE

The Washington correspondent Of an
that recently the president asked SEN
ator Perkins of California to ascertain
why his appointment of Franklin X.
Lane as an interstate commerce COM
missioner was being h up in the
senate The California senator at once
approached Senator Foraker, to whose
committee the nomination had been re-
ferred.
Senator Foraker's reply, the corre-
spondent says, twas frank an direct.
Foraker said that the nomination was
held up and would ontnue to be held
| up as long as the administrati Il was
insisting upon railroad rate legislation.
He said that Mr.. Lane was not the type
of man who should be on the commits
sion if the Legislation such as was
asked by the administration was en-
acted or anything like it. If the Hep
burn BILL the Dolliver bill, or any other
measure passed which increased the
power of the interstate commerce COM
mission the name would be rejected"
If this isn't senatorial insolence. what
is it? Foraker knows that a great
majority of the people are with Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his demand for rate
regulation and that they see in the
Hepburn or Dolliver bill promise that
would meet popular demand. Foraker
also knows that Franklin X. Lane is
honest enough, fair enough and cour-
ageous enough to see that the legisla-
ton enacted would, so far as he is con-
oerned, be impartially and vigorously
enforced.
The program of the railroad sena-
tors is clear and we'll understood. They
will fight all rate legislation bills to the
last ditch, but if one should happen to
PASS, under the pressure of public opin-
ion, they p"opose to suggest or dictate
the personnel of the interstate COM
merce commits sion, so that the measure
may be nulified by failure to enforce,
or by recourse to possible technlcalitles.
Democrats and Republicans alike
| throughout the west demand the cons
| firmation of Franklin X. Lane. The
| fact that he supported Bryan in 1896
and 1900 is mentioned by Senator Fora
ker as a personal reason why Mr.. Lane
should not be confirmed. Whom should
he have voted for-Buckner? But this
objection is a mere subterfuge. The
cause of the senatorial opposition tC
Lane is frankly stated by Foraker
How long will the people of this coun-
try stand for that sort of thing?

WHAT LOS ANGELES NEEDS

1t is generally conceded that Mr. ].
w. Hellman is one of the best and
safest bankers and most successful
financiers in all the west. His home Is
in San Francisco, but his heart and
the larger slice of his business are, in
Los Angeles, where he announces that
he and his associates are about 10 or
ganize "A great trust company. with a
capital stock of anywhere from $1,000,
600 to $4,000, 0O0 He reports California
north and south as having an unex-
ampled period OF business prosperity
and that it is well based.
Mr.. Holman is quoted as saying
about Los Angeles. after speaking of It's
tremendous growth; What we need
here is plenty Of elegant hotels. fine
driveways, varied amusements and a
broad, liberal spirit, SO that all tastes
and desires can be met"
This is precisely in line with the sug-
gestions recently made by Passenger
Traffic Manager Byrne Of the Santa
Fe after his return from Chicago. Mr.
Hellman has recently spent some tim,
along the Riviera and his advice eman-
ates from careful study of that sec
tion of southern Europe,
Los Angeles has many fine hotels
more than any city Of it's size In IN,
country, and two splendid ones build

FIND MAN DEAD,
HIS THROAT CUT

An unidentified man committed sui
eide yesterday afternoon near Watts
station OH the Long Beach line ana
his body was discovered lying near the
rails of the electric line.
The mans throat had been cut in
CHASTITY manner by a razor, which was
found by the side OF the body.
With the exception of a handkerchief
on which was marked with indelible
ink the word Settler" there was no
means of identification.
The man was evidently about 70 years
old and he was neatly dressed in
gray suit, blue shirt, with an under
shirt of Il peculiar shade of lavender.
He was evidently in poor health and
it is thought that dependency over
sickness led to the rash act.
Nothing was found in the pockets
and the decedent had apparently re-
moved all marks that might lead to his
identification.
The body was discovered about the
middle of the afternoon and the sher-
ifs office was notified.
The body was brought to the city
last evening and was taken to the UNI
dertalSing rooms of Pierce Brothers to
await an inquest Thursday
