OCEAN PARK PLANS
SOME BIG IMPROVEMENTS

OCEAN PARK. May 23.-Bids for
what is believed to be one of the larg-
est contracts ever attempted under the
Vrooman act are being advertised by
the city. Should the proposals ten
dered for the work be deemed reason
able by the city trustees the contract
will be let to one bidder and the work
will probably be we'll under way within
two weeks, otherwise the work will be
divided into parcels and carried out by
separate contracts.
By the terms Of the ordinance, which
was passed last December, under which
the work is to be done, all of the back
country south OF Rose avenue and ex-
tending to the Los Angeles-Pacific
short line tracks, is to undergo perma-
nent improvements, the work including
graveling, grading and oiling of streets,
installation Of sewer mains, storm
drains, curbing and sidewalks. 1t is
believed that the improvements will in
volve an expenditure of $250,O0O.

.LIFE's FITFUL FEVER"

Another tidbit of domestic scandal
on the upper level of society is re-
vealed in a divorce suit just instituted
in New York city. 1t recalls an in
teresting line of history illustrating the
possibilities of life in this rapid age.
About forty years ago, soon after
the Civil War, young married man of
80 years made his advent in New York
city from an "up-state" county. His
occupation was that of a surveyor, but
he had dabbled in several enterprises
one being in connection with small
railway which had yielded him consid-
cradle money. He fell in with keen
Yankee of about his own age and the
two undertook a scheme, after time,
to get control of the Erie railway,
which was owned chiefly by English
capitalists.
That scheme proved to be successful.
The pair were charged subsequently
with looting the railways finances.
They finally were forced to disgorge
$7,550,000. The Yankee partner was
assassinated not long afterward as the
outcome of disgraceful affair in which
notorious woman was the central
figure.
The former surveyor played a lone
hand after that event and became the
recognized king of Wall street. He
died in 1892 leaving an estate that was
appraised at $72,OOO,OOO Each of his
six children inherited $10,000000 by the
will, the oldest getting an extra $5,0O0.-
900 for his services as assistant to his
father, as stated in the will, and the
residue of $7,000,000 went to the widow.
One of the girl children married
French count from whom she has
lately been divorced, after having
parted with large part of her fortune
to supply the needs of her prohigate
husband. Another of the children, a
son, is now in the limelight with a
divorce suit brought by his wife in
which the complainant, as reported, de-
mands $25OO0O per year as alimony.
1t is said that Jay Gould earned his
first money by the invention and man
ufacture of an improved rat trap which
he peddled in the country districts.

SEEKING MORE TROUBLE

Although up to it's neck in trouble,
San Francisco is looking for more.
Strangest of all is the fact that it is
seeking more trouble at the source of
it's present woes.
The alluring bauble of municipal
ownership now is enticing San Fran
cisco into further trouble as the ignis
fatuus leads it's pursuer into greater
depths of the swamp.
The city authorities of San Francisco,
as reported, have determined to take
over the Geary street railway, which is
a comparatively unimportant concern,
not in the United Railroads system.
This action, as explained, is an outcome
of the pending strike and was precipi-
tated by the union labor leaders.
1t is said that the board of super
visors will at once appropriate 100000
for the experiment in municipal rail-
way management. The operation of the
line will be solely in control Of the city
government. New equipment will be
supplied from the public treasury, man.
ayers and men will be satisfactory to
the labor unions and all the blessings
that are supposed to flow from municipal
| ownership may be expected.
The city government of San Fran
cisco is an example of the practical
working of trade union theories in mu-
nicipal affairs. In that city, as in
|
union labor leaders had been for years
pleading with voters to afford them ar
opportunity for demonstrating theh
theories of government. Finally Sar
Francisco was led or pulled to the poin
of yielding to those appeals, with thu
result now in evidence.
The combine of political leaders, o
whom Abe Ruef was until recently thu
honored head, will now introduce thu
system of municipal operation in Sal
Francisco's transit service. The boarC
of supervisors, confessed criminal
amenable to terms in state prison, will
control the new departure of the mu
nicipality. The Geary street line, an
others when obtainable, will be di
rected by the official grafters and b
manned by the class of men who 70
more than three weeks have mad
street travel perilous terror.
And, strange as it may appear, tn
very men who have won fame b
breaking the graft ring now appear a
sponsors for the original grafters. Th
graft prosecutors are credited with at
solute control of the executive an
legislative branches of the city gov
ernment-Mayor Schmitz and the boar
of supervisors-and it is the knucklin
Of these authorities to the labor lead
ers that is accountable for the mt
nicipal railway scheme.
S The ways of San Francisco are ir
: comprehensive to the outside worl'

United States for uprooting officii
Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-24

graft in San Francisco, and now 1t
looks as If the same prosecutors were
sowing the seeds for a fresh official
graft crop.
And the spectators of the San Fran
cisco drama will await with increasing
wonder the raising of the curtain on the
next act, showing the branded official
grafters in control of new branch of
municipal authority, backed by the
official anti-graft champions!

SAYS EMPLOYMENT MAN
FORCIBLY ELECTED HIM

Frank Sexton, who lives at the
Greater Los Angeles hotel. claims he
has a grievance against E. H. Crowley,
the much arrested employment agent.
Sexton says he went to Crowley's Of
fee for a job and he was sent to the
Malibu ranch. But at the Malibu
ranch there was no job and Sexton
went back to see Crowley. Crowley is
said not to have been pleased with the
visit and Sexton was thrown out.
Sexton applied for complaint from
the city prosecutors office, but was re-
fused by Joe Ford BECAUSE he had no
witnesses of the alleged assault.

SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN KICK

The reported anti-administration
movement among southern Republicans
may be rated as interesting but not
specially important. 1t is interesting
as evidence of the widespread disaf-
lection in the grand old party" but 1t
is practically unimportant because OF
the small figure cut by the southern
Republicans in presidential election
excepting in the border states.
The anti-administration kick now
brought to notice appears to be vigor-
GUS only in the southern states that are
classed by Republicans as "hopelsssly
Democratic"
The chief grievance, as formulated
by the Republican league of Georgia
and expressed by the chairman thereon,
is "the appointment to office of Demo-
Gratis and lukewarm Republicans"
Southerners of the political stripe of
the Georgia league resent the adminis-
tration's oversight in not dropping all
the official plums into their laps. In
In the language Of Texas statesman
they want to know what are we here
for?"
The resentment of those office-hungry
patriots toward the administration has
reached so acute a stage that the
Georgia league declares in a public adj
dress: "Let us make this fight to the
knife, to see that no federal officer, re-
gardless of his party affiliations, shall
be elected a delegate. All the
money efforts and influence which can
be brought to bear by the officeholders
cannot stem the tide or prevent COM
plete revolution in Republican politics
in the south"
It is only the significance of this. atti-
tude in it's bearing on the border states
that makes the Republican kick in the
able. None of those states polls much
more than enough Republican votes in
a presidential election to represent a
political corporars guard.
1t is the likelihood that the leaven of
Republican discomfort is working in the
border states, as well as in the lower
tier, that makes the vigorous Georgia
kick interesting. All of the border
states except Kentucky gave their
electoral votes for the Republican
ticket in 1904. Even old Missouri, for
the first time on record, hauled down the
Democratic emblem and ran up the Re-
publican colors.
The result of the election next year
may hinge upon the electoral votes Of
the border states. AS Kentucky stood
by it's Democratic colors in 1904 it may
be reckoned as sure for repetition in
1908 Missouri will atone for its tenn
porary fall from grace by an old-time
Democratic majority. But Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia are in the
doubtful category. They have total
of eighteen electoral votes and a much
less number has changed the result of
a presidential election.
The Republican disaffection in the
south only reflects the more potential
fight against the administration that is
developing in most if not all of the
northern states. In certain of the lead
ing states the split in the party has be-
come so pronounced that it clearly
foreshadows defeat for the Republican
ticket in those states next year, with
the almost inevitable consequence of a
Democratic successor to President
Roosevelt.

CALVIN p. PEABODY DEAD
FROM BRIGHTS DISEASE

Calvin p. Peabody died at his apart
ments on the second floor of the Tag
CART building, 317-319 Main street, Fri
day night of Bright's disease, after an
Hines of about months duration, al
though he was confined to his bed only
a portion of that time.
Deceased was born at Tunbridge
Vermont November 81. 1886, conse-
quently was a little more than seventy
years of age at the time of his death.
He was a half brother of James II.
Peabody, and was the Oldest member
of the family, to which Gov. Peabody
was the youngest. He was unmarried
and came to Colorado in 1865. soon
after the close of the Civil war, and
settled in Denver. where he engaged in
the mercantile trade with his brother
d. G. Peabody and for a period of three
years a fiourishing business was done
under the name of Peabody Mercantile
company.
In 1858 he removed to Pueblo where
he again engged in the mercantile bus
mess as a member of the firm of Pea
body & Jordan. This partnership con-
tinued until 1872. when he sold out and
gave his attention to real estate, which
proved to be a very profitable venture.
Mr. Peabody amassed a considerable
fortune in merchandise and in real es-
tate, but lost it all in unfortunate spec
ulations and by the shrinkage of prop
erty values during the hard times.
which followed the financial panic of
thirteen years ago.
Deceased has been guard at the
prison here for the last five years and
was intimately known to the en-
ployees of that Institution. In addi-
ton to his relatives here he leaves a
sister, Mrs. Julia Dickerman in Pueblo,
a brother, John Peabody. in Boulder.
and brother. W. S Peabody. who re-
sides at 1880 Corona street, Denver.
The funeral took place at the
chapel of A. E Wilson's undertaking
establishment at $3.50 O'Clock Sunday
Rev. J. T Thomas. Pastor
of the Congregation of the First Pres
byterian church, conducting the obse-
quies. The interment was at Lake

Judge Bowen replied In kind and
his retort likewise has gained a place
in legal lore as a model of its kind.
The application for change was de-
MED and Judge Bowen issued an in
junction preventing the Santa Fe COM
pany or any of its agents from per-
forming any acts whatever in the
state of Colorado. The writ took from
the Santa Fe all hold upon the canon,
and the Rio Grande then directed by
Gen. w. ]. Palmer. of Colorado
Springs, took advantage of this vic
tory to push its line through the
canon and forever shutting the Santa
Fe from Leadville.
Judge Bowen made several lucky
strikes in the mining camps of the
state and was several times in his
career quite wealthy.
