HERALD'S BARBOUR SCOOP

From the Long Beach Tribune.
1.-THE Los Angeles Herald scored a
noteworthy SCOOP on its competitors in
the morning field in Los Angeles today
by finding Mr.. Barbour and having an
interview with him, while the Times
and Examiner had him still lost to the
world. The Times, which is usually as
near to the truth as any one, had Mr..
Barbour far in the distance with a
woman whom his manager was an
nounced as saying is very bad But
the discovery of Mr.. Barbour quietly
going about his business in the Doug
las building has eliminated the alleged
woman phase of the case and clears
this part of the story up in a satisfac-
tory manner. The facts concerning the
real estate transactions which resulted
in trouble for Mr.. Barbour were given
quite correctly in the Tribune of yes.
terday."
The Long Beach Press copies the
Herald story in full printing the fea-
ture part of the Scoop in heavy
black-faced type.

YELLOW KNOCKERS HUSTLED

There Is reason to believe-and the
pernicious activity of certain self
seekers confirms this assertion-that
the gray wolves and yellow dogs al
ways trying to hurt Los Angeles are
trying to secure the abandonment of
the present site for the new federal
building at Spring. Main and Temple
streets. They have been "agin' this
site ever since 1t was given the gov
eminent, and just as they have been
"agin" every other movement for Los
Angeles betterment, including the
Owens river water DEAL and nothing
would suit them better than to SIT,
up some opposition and secure at least
a delay in the governments plans.
The point that these knockers raise
is that the land given the government
is soft" that it will not bear the
weight of a s1,OOO,OOO building, and that
more solid site is needed. ANA as a
pretext for their yawps they depend
upon reports of the tests now making
on the land in question.
this lot is amply able to sustain any
weight that may be placed on it has
been demonstrated within the last day
or two. Exceedingly thorough tests
have been made, and they have es-
tablished the stability of the soil be-
yond cavil. Even if they had not, it
is positively known and admitted by
the test engineers that further depth
would have been the only result; they
would have sought in the earth ill
they reached strata that would have
carried the weight, and would so have
reported
The pans for the new building are
now in the hands of the supervising
architect in Washington. The details
of the foundations are held up, await
ing the official results of the tests, but
only that they may be drawn for the
depth required for absolute safety.
The CHE and only reason for desiring
a shallow foundation is that l. leaves
that much more money for the build
ing above ground. If the required sta
hility is found at fifteen feet rather
than thirty it will reduce the sub-con-
struction cost just that much that's
all there is to it.
The yellow howl about removal and
abandonment is all prepared and only
awaits ii semblance of excuse to he
sprung. The only hope resting oil it
is delay of years and setback to
Los Angeles. This is the ore and only
object The yellow knockers have. That
it is foledoomed to failure is already
known.

NOW FOR THE SENATE

The passage by the house of repre-
sentatives of the Hepburn railroad
rate bill by an almost unanimous vote,
S46 to 7, is a sweeping victory for the
people. 1t is also a notification to the
senate that the lower house of con-
gress, being closer to its constituents,
has recognized the Importance, the sig
nificance and the imperative nature Of
popular feeling upon this subject. Only
seven members of the house, and they
from the extreme northeastern section
of New England, dared raise a voice
or give a vote in opposition to the
overwhelming demand for rate regu-
lation. The entire house appreciated
the fact that it meant political eXtinc-
ton for any member outside of the
northeast to stand in the way of pub
lie sentiment, which has now reached
the boiling point
The victory in the house should
warn the senate that the avalanche is
coming. Such senators as Foraker,
Elkins and Aldrich, ct i'd omne genus,
who have manifested the most supreme
contempt for the demand for rate reg
ulation and who have threatened
President Roosevelt with the defeat of
all his administration measures unless
he desists in his efforts to enlarge the
powers of the interstate commerce
commission, will learn from the action
of the house that the groundswell is
moving in their direction and that II
they desert the people now, when all
their interests are at stake, they may
as well prepare for the inevitable
amendment of the constitution proVid-
ing for the election Of United States
senator's by popular vote.
The Hepburn bill, which now goes to
the senate, gives to the interstate COM
merce commission authority, when a
rate has been complained of by a ship
per as unreasonable, to investigate that
rate and il found TO be unreasonable
to name rate which is just, reason
able and fairly remunerative, and that
rate is to be the maximum charge
The rate thus fixed will go into effect
thirty days after 1t is announced by
the commission, subject during that
time TO be set aside or suspended by
the commission or by the courts. Az
ter going into effect, 1t win remain in
force three years, when 1t may be re-
vised.
In other words, instead Of shippers
going first into court to secure a rea-
sonable rate, they will appeal TO the
commission, and If costly suit is de-
sired it must be at the expense and
instlgation Of the railway companies
Publicity Of railway methods Is
provided for by prescribing a system OF
bookkeeping. The commission il en-,

GAINS EYESIGHT IN A FIGHT
Kentuckian Loses a Piece of His Nose
in Exchange for 1t After
the Melee
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PARIS, Ky, Feb. Some of the most
remarkable cases of sight being re-
stored as the result of an accident oc-
CURED here today.
Leslie Combs, in a fight on a
Paris-LeXington interurban car with
an unknown man was almost slashed to
ribbons. Combs has been totally blind
in one eye for several years, and in the
fight with the stranger was cut across
the face several times, n portion of his
nose being cut off. There was also a
deep cut down the forehead and across
the eyelid, the eyeball being also
slightly pierced.
Today the swelling in Combs face
has subsided sufficiently to admit of his
opening the lid of the injured eye. To
his intense surprise Combs was able
to see as well as ever Local physi-
clans attribute the recovery of his eye
sight to the fact that some nerve of the
eyeball which had caused the blindness
was severed. Combs loses half of his
nose, but says he is glad to exchange
that for two good eyes.

ELLERY PLANS
TO STAY HERE
PALM GARDEN WILL BE BUILT
FOR BANDMASTER
Though Offers From other Cities Are
Pling UP on Popular Leader
He Prefers Los
Angeles

Claiming 1Glery, whose band leaves
Venice permanently March 10, will be
back here next winter I'm a home Of his
own-one worthy of his fine organiza-
ton in every way.
Negotiations for this have gene SO
far that a site has beeh selected,
whcreon will be erected paim garden
and band concert hall the equal of ATTY
in the world. This will be q large and
commodious affair, thoroughly up to
date, with u gallery for those who do
not care for Bohemianism with their
music, and a large lower floor, ar
ranged with small tables, plenty of
palms and growing plants and full fa-
cilties for serving such refreshments
as the heart and palate may desire
The place will be run in an eminently
respectable way and will be open
every afternoon, and at night, till II
o'clock or so.
Ellerys band is probably the most
popular that ever played i'll Los An
geles. It's music is of high character
and its work has been conscientious
and thorough. Mr.. Ellery will take it
on tour Immediately after. leaving
Venice, going drought the Southwest
and on to the East, where he has
summer engagements to keep him till
fall.
Renewal Offers
He has had renewal offers from
Venice and from the Chutes. where he
formerly played, but will not consider
them just now as this other project is
so far advanced.
This was brought out by a group of
his friends and Los Angeles music
lovers who desire to retain Ellery here
permanently.
A similar offer has been made to
him from Chicago people, who desire
to build him q concert hall and have
the band become u feature of Chicago
musical life. Elery prefers Los An
geles, and will stay here if this project
goes through-and it is now past the
''if'' stage, it is declared.
THE facts are as you state" said
Mr.. Ellery yesterday. Il cannot tell
you more, not even the site. But l
have no doubt that 1 and my band
will be permanently housed here next
winter"
The programme which the Ellery
band will give tonight at the Venetian
gardens is composed entirely of COM
positions by Wagner, Rubinstein and
Tschaikowsky. The first will be repre-
sented by "Albumblatt No. L."
"Rienzi' overture, the Pilgrims
chorus from "Tannhauser," Elsas
dream from "Lohengrin," played by
Signor Palma, and a selection from the
same opera, Lohengrin's farewell to
the swan, the wedding music and the
finale. The Rubinstein pieces will be
the melody in f, "Kammenoi Ostrow,"
and the romance in e fiat, and those of
Tschaikowsky will be the Caprice
Italien" and the Adagio Lamentoso
from the Symphonic Patetique."
