Sees SUCCESS OF owens River

$50 far as the Owens river project
is concerned" continued the senator.
"the way is rapidly being opened for
the successful carrying out of the plans
for that great undertaking.
LOS Angeles is made up of popula-
ton that has come here from all parts
of the country. and by reason of this it
is attracting the favorable attention
of the whole nation. The feeling toward
this project on the part of congress is
in the main friendly. and yet, but for
the stand taken by President Roose-
velt. 1 do not believe this city would
have been able to secure any legisla-
ton at the last session. Strong pro-
tests were sent to Washington against
the passage of the bill granting Los
Angeles right of way over govern
ment land. l do not personally know
that any of these protests came from
any of the public utility corporations
of this city but many protests came
from individuals. and several corpora
tions having interests in the Owens
river valley made vicious onslaught
on the proposed measure. and, as /
say. but for the action of the presi-
dent, these probably would have sue
ceeded in carrying their point. The
bill was passed. however. and / do
not believe that anything now can
stand in the way of the successful car
rying out of this project, which means
so much to Los Angeles and the sur
rounding country.
Talks of Irrigation
while on my way home visited all
of the great irrigation projects in the
west and northwest. The government
is spending millions in this work, but
the money will all come back i'm time.
In several districts the land will be
opened to settlement within the next
year These districts include those at
Yuma and Klamath. as well as some in
Montana and parts of the northwest.
In my opinion the efforts which SEN
ator Hansbrough and others are maxi
ing to secure a diversion of the recla-
nation funds for the purpose of drain
ing swamp lands In the south and mid

TOO CARELESS ABOUT LABELS
Grocers Who Mix GasoIlne and kero-
sene Cans viii Find Trouble
Ahead

City Prosecutor Beebe is to make a
crusade against dealers who sell gas
oline without properly labelling the
cans.
Several accidents have recently re-
suited from persons supposing a can
of gasoline was kerosene.
Not long ago man was severely
burned because he poured what he
thought was kerosene into his lamp
and set a match to the wick An ex-
plosion followed, and an Investigation
proved the fluid used was gasoline
According to information furnished
to City Prosecutor Beebe by Charles
A. Blackmar. city oil inspector. grocers
have become careless about labelling
their gasoline cans.
Complaints were issued yesterday
against w. II. Saxman. 900 West Sixth
street; II. M. Grifing, 525 West Sixth
street. and w. ]. Jones, 595 West Sixth
street. The defendants were fined s5
and given a lecture by the court.
Inspector Blackmar stated last night
that a rigorous campaign would be
made against all dealers violating the
law by neglectlng to afIix proper labels
TO gasoline cans. and more Complaints
would probably be issued today.

STANDS ALOOF
FROM POLITICS
SENATOR FLINT WILL NOT
INTERFERE
Candidates for State and County Of
fees Need Look for No Assist
ance Talks of New
.. Postoffice

Senator Flint stepped off the Owl at
River station yesterday morning, look
ing exceedingly we'll and apparently
glad to be back in Los Angeles again.
In company with his wife. daughter
and son, who were the only ones to
meet him at the station. he boarded a
street car and went directly to his home
on Pasadena avenue where he found
his private secretary and large
amount of mail awaiting him. Later
in the day the senator came down
town, where he received many hearty
greetings from his host of friends in
this city.
Candidates who are counting on the
senator's support in their canvass for
votes in the present campaign will be
grievously disappointed. He said yes
terday that he wished it distinctly un-
derstood. and that the statement could
not be too broadly made, that so far
as local, county and state politics were
considered, his policy would one of
hands off.
Remains Absolutely Neutral
IT do not propose to take a hand in
any of the political fights now on, or to
interfere in any way in the present
campaign" he said. II do not think
II proper that / should do so. BY vir-
tue of the office / hold / have consid-
erable patronage at my command, and
the influence might exert either in

iosition. None of the candidates need
expect me to use my influence In his
behalf, and none need fear that / shall
use 1t against him"
Speaking of Congressman McLach-
lan's candidacy for denomination, Sem
ator Flint said:

ness at Bullfrog, whom they claim can
establish Stackpole's innocence.
The strange witness, 1t is alleged,
was passing the Scheck home and
heard two shots and then saw a man
run from the house and dash past him.
He says that man was not Stackpole
But the prosecution laughs at the
idea Of such witness and Attorney
Edward Fleming grimly suggests that
the witness be brought from the noun
tain camp and produced at the trial
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-09
Yearn to See Woman

Since the trial of Stackpole has COM
menced spectators have been flocking
to the court room. They have crowded
the aisles and the ante-rooms and have
craned their necks and watched and
listened for every movement and every
word.
The constant whisper of that we'll
dressed audience, most of whom are
women, has been, when will this
woman appear who opened the door of
her home to admit the murderer of
her husband?" and with every whisper
the interest has increased so that Mrs.
Scheck will have an attentive audience
when she takes the stand.
Yesterday was practically dead day
in the trial of the case.
AS on the first day of the trial,
women thronged the court room. eager
for a glance at the prisoner. AT 10
o'clock Stackpole, still the debonair
youth, was marched into the court
room.
During the early stages of the trial
he is being permitted to go to the
court room wearing but a single hand
cuff, but toward the end, in spite of
the objections of the man, the two
heavy steel cuffs will decorate his
wrists every time he makes the trip
from the Jail to the court room and
back.
Spectators Disappointed
But the spectators were doomed to
disappointment yesterday. The first
Venire of jurymen had been exhausted
the night before with but three select
ed. A second had been called but was
not ready to report until the afternoon
session, and Stackpole was allowed toI
return to jail.
At the later hour the return was
made and the attorneys for the defense
keeping up their desperate game of
playing for time. challenged the sheriff
and the officers who selected the jury,
alleging that they might have been
preiudiced in their selection. Sheriff
White and Deputies Cochran and
Cleveland, who made the selections,
were sent for. but were absent and viii
this morning answer the charge.
Then the jury will be selected and
the case taken up and 1t is expected
that the first witness will take the
stand either late this afternoon or early
tomorrow morning.

however that congress should make
a special appropriation for that pur-
pose. Large appropriations are made
for the improvement of rivers and
harbops and it is only fair that people
living in those sections of the country
having immense areas of swamp lands
should be provided for in a similar
way. But this work should be done by
means of an appropriation for that
purpose, and not by the diversion of
funds set aside for the reclamation of
arid lands.
1.-THE irrigation work that is now
going on is too important to be ham,
pered or checked because of insufficient
funds"
Talks of Yosemite
Senator Flint said he expected work
on the Los Angeles government build
ing to be begun within the next sixty
days. THE building will cost 81, 100 000
and as soon as the old site on Main
street is sold all of the money neces-
sary for construction will be available
The old site probably will be disposed
of within the next three months. Ac-
cordng to the plans which have been
prepared, Los Angeles will have a
government building which for both
exterior and interior finish will COM
pare with any similar building in the
country"
The senator said he expected to re-
main in Los Angeles until congress
meets again in December. At any
rate. he knew of nothing now that
was likely to call him out of the city,
except. possibly. for few days at
time. He is greatly interested in the
work that is being done to improve
Yosemite park and to make that region
more accessible to tourists. ''I stopped
in Yellowstone park for few days
on my way home" he said. but in
my opinion the attractions there do
not begin to compare with those at
Yosemite. AS soon as the roads now
being built into the latter region are
completed and the proposed consolida-
ton of government parks there is car
ried out there is certain to be a great
rush of tourists to tht Yosemite"

MRS. SCHECK TO
TAKE THE STAND
WIDOW OF MURDER VICTIM
WILL TESTIFY
Defense, on stackpole's Behalf, Maxi
ing Efforts to Locate Mysterious
Witness at Bullfrog,
Nevada

Mrs. Aurellia Scheck, who promises
to be the star witness for the prosecu-
ton in the trial of Eugene G. Stack
pole, charged with the murder of Joel
Scheck. will probably be required TO
take the witness stand in department
one of the superior court Friday after
noon, according to a report given out
from the district attorneys office last
night.
The woman has been the mysterious
witness throughout the case.
She alone was a witness to the
fearful murder of her husband and she
alone, according to her confession.
knows the name of the man whom she
let into her home just q few moments
before the murder and whom she
claims committed the act.
But Stackpole is simply sneering at
Mrs. Scheck's testimony.
1t is alleged that Stackpole was inti-
mate with the woman and that the
murder OF the woman's husband grew
out of that intimacy.
Insurance Money
1t is further rumored by the prose-
cution that another motive might he
found in the fact that Scheck's life was
heavily insured.
At any rate the testimony of the
woman will be the one ray of light in
the details of tragedy as dark as the
shadows of the night upon which 1t
was committed.
Mrs. Scheck has been carefully guard
ed at the police station. Since the day
of her confession, when she accused
Stackpole Of the murder, she has been
watched by attorneys and officers and
has been closely confined in the city
jail
have seen the woman, and Friday,
probably at the Afternoon session Of

her first public statement, there in the

whom she accuses of the horrible
crime.
And for that particular session of
court there will be a squad of officers

nate thing, not only for Los Angeles
but for the state as a whole. that Con-
gresham McLachlan will have no op-
position for the nomination at the COM
ing convention. The circumstances are
such just now that 1 think it would be
unfortunate If he were not returned to
congress. He holds a prominent posi-
ton ON one of the most important COM
mittees In congress, that of rivers and
harbors, and his position will become
even more prominent by reason of the
probability that one or two other mem
bers are not likely to be reelected.
Representation on this committee
means a great deal to California, and
if Congressman McLachlan were de-
feated for reelection 1 doubt if this
state would secure another member on
the committee in several years.
