them, for his Indignation at what he
considered Delroy's laXness in enter
tanning man whose conduct was so
little known had not in the least di-
minished, and his distrust of Ire
maine had grown stronger with the
passing hours. The prospect of a day
alone in the house was intolerable,
and he felt that Grace Croydon would
wish to avoid him till the hour Of ex-
plan"tiol vas at hand.
Indeed. the sudden antagonism he
had developed toward Delroy would

not, at this moment desert Grace Croy-

He must save her if he could, not o1ly
Cor Lis own sake, but for hers.
It was this gloomy meditation which

details Of the days business. left him
severely to himself. He babe them
goodby at the ferry and, in sort Of
desperation, went down to the Record
Office and asked for Godfrey. He felt
that he was being swept into waters
beyond his depth, that he needed a
strong, cool hand to pluck him back
to safety, b.s. he found that Godfrey
was cut of town.
Delr0y and Tremaine went at once
to the Wall street office where the con-
ference concerning the railroad was to
take place. Memories of that confer
ence still survive in the street; wild
legends concerning it-how a company
of conservative cold blooded, steel gut
ted capitalists were worked upon,
bambooZlei, hypnotiZed, wrought up to
enthusiasm over project which was
proved by the subsequent reports of
engineers to be about as practicable as
a bridge to the moon. Even yet the
glamour of that meeting endureS with
some Of the investors who We're pres
ent, and they are still convinced that
railroad in Martinique would pay
fabulous return. Tremaine set for the
street new standard of ''smoothneSS"
and one which has never been APP
preached.
The conference was over by noon,

As soon as the meal was over she
and her sister disappeared upstairs,
while the men lighted their cigars and
strolled down to the boathouse to view
the preparations made by the Grahams
for the protection Of the necklace. Tie
night was very close, with a promise Of
rain unmistakable.
They went through the boathouse
without finding any one, but out on the
pier beyond old Graham was sitting
gazing across the water and smoking
an odoriferous pipe. Between his
knees he held a Winchester repeater
and a revolver QUIT stuck from a case
at his side.
Delroy laughed quietly as he looked
at him.

without speaking.

ENCOURAGE IMMIGRATION
Southwestern Lines Will Establish
Bureaus in Europe

Railroads running through lands that
are thinly settled are making an effort
to create more business in this terri
tory. 1t is the belief of the officials
that the greater the population the
greater will be the business derived by
them, hence they are turning their at
ten tion to immigrants from Europe.
John Sebastian, passenger traffic
manager of the Rock Island, accom-
panied by an experienced immigrant
agent, will go abroad next week to
establish immigrant bureaus for the
purpose of securing immigrant business
for the southwestern lines of the Rock
Island and Frisco.
1t is the intention to be careful as to
the qualifications of the people who are
encouraged to come to this country
1t is believed that the best class are
those who have been engaged in raising
grain and cultivating fruit Immi-
grants heretofore have been prejudiced
against coming to the southwest, but
it is believed that it will be more suit
able for them on account of the climate,
which is similar to that where they
have been accustomed to live.

the First Methodist church, Sunday,
June 20. The following day class ex-
ercises will be held, and i'm the evening
President Millspaugh will give re-
ception at his home for the members
of the graduating class.
The class play will be given Tuesday
evening in the auditorium and the fol-

RAILROAD BRIEFS

r. w. Thompson, general western
agent of the Rock Island with head
quarters in oakland, is in Los Angeles
on business.
T. C. Peck, assistant general passen-
ger agent of the Salt Lake, went to San
Bernardino last night on a business
trip.
b. F. Coons, commercial agent of the
Rock Island, is again able to be at the
Office after having been confined to his
home with the grip.
The plates used in printing the $50, 900
book, THE Road of a Thousand Won

were destroyed in the earthquake at
San Francisco. The first edition only
had been printed and the supply was
almost exhausted. A Chicago printing
firm asks $4,000 to reproduce the plates

Friends Are jealous
The extent of the Jealousy Of many
of her acduaintances can be imagined
by the arrival yesterday afternoon of
a twenty-pound weight of lead bullion
heavily gilded.
When the driver who was given the
lesson i'm arithmetic carried 1t into the
Lankershim he was almost bewildered
at the sight of the immense chunk of
gold" When he called for Miss Hall,
who appeared from behind the counter,
he looked in awe upon her, fully be-
lieving she was some king of finance.
mered "this package is for
you. There are IS charges on 1t for
expressa ge. Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You see II is
valued at $4,000"
Miss Hall at once scented what
she believed was a Niger in the
woodpile, and was about to aC-
cuse the driver of trying to obtain
money under false pretences. But upon
casual gance at the package she dis
covered the decimal point was between
the dollar sign and the figure five.
Poor fellow" she soliloquized. "he
needs a little arithmetic"
with the same dispatch that charac-
terizes all of Miss Halls work she
demonstrated to the trembling driver
that a decimal point placed before a
collection of figures alters their value
decidedly from being placed after
them.
Driver Is Convinced
The amazed driver looked long at the
figure of value on the gilded lead bull
lion. After few moments, in which
he enacted a heavy thinking part, it
became apparent to him that the value
of the bullion was S.500O ordinarily
translated 80 cents, and not $4,000.
But the pretty gilded lead bullion
has been marred, much to the grief of
not only Miss Hall, but the entire
of the Lankershim. The
driver would not be convinced that the
heavy slug was not gold until he had
been allowed to cut "A deep furrow on
the face of it and taken a piece out of
the edge. Below all this was the cold,
dull color of the lead.
Miss Hall and the other employees
behind the counter at the Hotel Lam
kershim are still laughing over the
fact that all through several books of
the Wells-Fargo company in which a
record of the package was kept the
clerks have placed the value of the
lead bullion at $4,000 and the incidental
calculations made in accordance with
the rules governing that amount.

WOULD PRRCHASE
THE CITY HALL
REALTY DEALER WILL MAKE
OFFER FOR STRUCTURE
Will Raze Building to Make Quarters
for Commercial Concern-Want-
ing to Locate in Los
Angeles

The old. old question of building a
new city hall was brought up again
yesterday when C. Wesley Roberts, a
local real estate man who represents
a large corporation formerly having its
headquarters at San Francisco made
known his intention to city officials
yesterday to buy the city hall on
Broadway Next Monday he will lay
his proposition before the city council
and the board of public works. What
price he proposes to offer, and for what
firm he is acting, he refused to state.
Real estate men estimate that the city
hall property is easily worth $4,000 a
front foot, and it has a depth of 1SO
feet.
When members of the council learned
that there was a good prospect of SELL
ing the old city hall for enough money
to build a modern, up-to-date struc-
ture, they expressed deep regret that
they had not accepted the offer made
by North Main street property owners
a few months ago of a free site on that
thoroughfare next to the federal build
ing. Joseph Mesmer was the moving
spirit in the effort to have the city
accept the North Main street site, but
he recently left for Europe.
Mr. Roberts explained yesterday that
the firm he was representing was a
large commercial organization and
would make its headquarters in Los
Angeles if it could secure suitable
site The city hall property, in the
eyes of Mr. Roberts, is the most desir-
sirable property to be purchased on
Broadway.
Not only will the sale of the city
hall bring this large industry to Los
Angeles, but the firm that proposes to
buy the city hall will tear down the
old ramshackle structure now used for
municipal purposes and build big
business block as high as the restric-
tions will permit.

SUGGESTS PUBLIC ABATToIR
Health Officer Would Prevent Danger
of Tainted Meat In Los
Angeles

Chicago is not the only place suffer-
ing from tainted meat.
According to DR.. l.. M. Powers, city
health officer, there is considerable
menace from tainted meat right here
in Los Angeles.
'The danger from tainted meat is
present and is constantly growing"
said Dr. Powers yesterday "As long
as the slaughtering of animals is al
lowed to be done promiscuously there
will always be danger of tainted meat
THE best solution of the difficulty
that / can suggest is for the city and
county to join in making stringent
laws governing a public abattoir. and
all animals should be government in

ished product inspected before 1t is al

Gold bricked" TO an embarrassing
finish was the fate of driver for the

weighty package yesterday after
noon to Miss Carrie Hail. cashier at
the Hotel Lankershim
Not only was the unfortunate driver
gold bricked," but every clerk i'm the
local office of the Wells-Fargo COM
pany shared the joke which was in
tended solely for Miss Hall.
Through the timely Intervention of
fate Miss Hall turned the trick and
taught the driver and the other clerks
in the employ of the Wells-Fargo COM
pany lesson in arithmetic with a
special course upon the use of the
decimal point.
Miss Hall has recently become af-
fected with the investment fever.

horizon that looks good" to her she
disposes of her loose change with a
shrewdness akin to that of Russell
Sage.
Knows Many Magnates
So broad has been her field of opera
tions that within the course of two
months she has become intimately ac-
quainted with business men in all
commercial lines from breeders of
fancy dogs to members of the Schwab
syndicate The proprietors of the
Hotel Lankershim have been so strong
ly impressed with her keen business
abilities that they are momentarily ex-
pecting to wake up and find that the
Hotel Lankershim has passed into her
possession.
Miss Halls latest plunge into the
commercial world was in gold mining
stock. The identity of the gold mine
in which she purchased the stock she
is guarding with the greatest secrecy.
According to the clerks at the Lanker-
shin the mine is said to be located
in the vicinity of Kalamazoo. Mich,
but nothing to substantiate this sup
position has been discovered.
Friends Want information
Friends have beseeched Miss Hall for
information on the mine, which it is
honestly believed is fabulously rich.
But Miss Hall is like an Egyptian

GOULD TO BUILD
FROM NORTHEAST
BELIEVED THAT WORK ON THE
ROAD WILL BEGIN SOON
Head Of System Says Two Lines
VIII Be Built to Los
AngeIes-General
News

That Los Angeles is the city where
the Gould lines will build their greatest
Pacific coast terminals is no longer
doubted by railroad men who keep in
close touch with any construction work
that is contemplated. 1t IS now believed
that the first Gould line that will reach
Los Angeles will be from the northeast
paralleling the Salt Lake to the east
When George Gould was in Los An
gees about a year ago he was asked If
he ever intended to build to the Angel
City.
IL most certainly do" was his reply.
"When?" was asked.
I'VE will probably reach here about
the same time that the Western Pacific
reaches San Francisco he replied
When questioned as to what direction
the line would be built from Mr.. Gould
said that line would be built from San
Francisco and one from Salt Lake City
the latter to be built first.
Construction work on the Western
Pacific has already begun and If Mr..
Gould is to keep his word work on the
road from Salt Lake City must be COM
menced before long. Railroad officials
and others in position to know say that
ground will be broken for the new route
by the middle of the summer.
Make Gould Lines Strongest
The proposed line is to connect with
the d. e. r. G.. at Marysville, Utah.
From there it will run in a south
westerly direction, paralleling the Salt
Lake road and opening up a country
that is known to be rich in mineral
The road will touch at the Grand
canyon and will reach Los Angeles by
way of San Bernardino and Riverside
Engineers, who are said to be in the
employ of the Goulds, have made a sur
veying trip over the route and within
the past two or three weeks have spen t
much time near Riverside and San Ber-
nardino. 1t is evident from their
actions that it is not easy to decide
what would be the best route by which
to reach these places and yet pass
through the country most productive
in freight.
With the completion of the road and
one to San Francisco, the Goulds will
have the strongest system of lines in
the west. This will allow them two
outlets to the east, and all the trouble
from blockades could be easily avoided
