BRYAN at the White House.

William ]. Bryan paid a visit to
President Roosevelt at the White
house last week, and held a long con-
ference with the president, the nature
of which can only be guessed. 1t is
assumed by the correspondents that
the.twe distinguished men talked about
railroad rate legislation, the financial
situation ana other public questions.
Their interview was strictly private,
however, and Mr.. Bryan firmly declin-
ed to even hint as to its nature. There
is one thing the public does know, ana
that is that Mr.. Bryan was received
by Mr.. Roosevelt with the greatest cor
diality, and that the interview was
somewhat lengthy one. Mr.. Bryan was
received in the private executive Of
flee, room that he may be called
upon by the people to occupy himself
a year from now. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Roosevelt would prefer to have
Mr.. Bryan succeed him as president
rather than any other democrat in the
land. For it is well known that Mr..
Bryan's influence with the democratic
members of congress led them to sup
port Mr.. Roosevelt in some of his most
strenuous plans which have seemed to
be, in theory at least, democratic and
right. The president feels duly CRATE
full to the democratic leader for this
support, and takes no pains to conceal
his respect and kindly feelings for Mr.
Bryan.
The New York Worlds correspond
ent, in referring to Mr.. Bryan's visit
to the White house. says:
There was a remarkable scene al
the close of Mr.. Bryan's visit. In some
mysterious, telepathic fashion it be
came rumored all over the White house
a minute before Mr.. Bryan left the
presidents room that the interview
was about to end. Immediately every
White house employe, from high tC
| low, left his desk, his typewriter, his
shovel his broom, or whatever he was
working with, and all rushed pell-mel
to the door and stood there lined up
Mr.. Bryan passed between the lines
bowling and smiling.
Visitors of the greatest epinencE
are daily at the White house, and &c
and come without getting so much a:

Never before has such an ovation beer
given at the White house to any Wis
itor.

order, that fact alone would have beel
regarded as sufficient ground for dis
missing him from the service"

Will Rear Watching.

As the ship subsidy lobby is already
gathering in Washington for another
assault upon the treasury, they must
have confidence in the great majority
of republican congressman being in
favor of that grating proposition
Still one can hardly believe that, fol
the sake of their own political for
tunes, many representatives of the
people will take the chances of voting
for the ship subsidy graft and expec
the people to reflect them.

Injured Man Is Joined by His Wife
in Los Angeles and Continues
on His Way
Home

F. R. Tinsley, publisher of the Pomona
Review, was in Los Angeles yesterday on
his way home from a trip to Lake Tahoe
and San Francisco with the California
Press association. While in the northern
city Mr.. Tinsley had a narrow escape
from death by being run into by trolley
car. Even after several days in the hos
pital he still shows marks of his accident
1t was on the way back from Tahoe that
Mr.. Tinsley bumped into trouble in the
shape of a car. He was taking in the
sights of the ruined city in company with
men occupying buggy drawn by rather
fractions horse.
Mr.. Harmon left the buggy for a few
minutes and entered a store, leaving Tins
ley alone in the rig. The horse imme-
diately began to back, and a passing car
which had stopped at the corner but
whose motorman paid no attention to the
rig struck the rear end of the vehicle with
great force.
Tinsley was thrown to the ground and
sustained injuries about the head and
When Harmon came out of the store to
rejoin his companion he was surprised to
see the buggy wrecked and also to learn
that Tinsley had been carried to a hos
pital
While the injuries to the publisher were
painful they were not of serious nature,
and after a few days treatment he was
with Harmon as head nurse and body
guard Mrs. Tinsley met her husband in
Los Angeles yesterday and took him to
their home in Pomona.

BRINGS THOUSANDS
into TREASURY
FRANCHISE RECEIPTS ACT
ROLLS UP NEST EGG
Jefferson Street Line and Angels
Flight Are Notified to Pay 2 per
Cent of Annual Gross
Earnings

Los Angeles will in few years get q
growing income from franchises through
the provision which, after five years
forces all franchise recipients to pay /:
per cent of gross earning to the city.
The city has just served notice on the
officials of the Los Angeles Interurban
line that its proportion of gross receipts
was due June 6 for the Jefferson street
line franchise from Western avenue to
the city limits. The company replied
that its clerks are now at work on the
books to determine the proportion. as the
line is a mere spur of its system.
This franchise was granted June 6.
1901, and every year hereafter till the end
of the twenty-five year franchise the
municipality will get its share OF the
gross proceeds.
In February next year the Home Tele-
phone company must begin making SINH
lar returns on its gross receipts. This will
bring thousands OF dollars into the city
treasury.
Other franchises include Col j. w.
Eddy's Angels Flight enterprise, which
is stated to be overdue in payment, and
proper notice has been sent.
The Union Oil company sent a check
for S1S5 TO the city clerk the other day
under the same act as its contribution.
Many street railroads, belt lines and
other franchises will help to swell the
sum in time to hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually.

TOO MUCH LAW
HAMPERS BOARD
Cannot Get Chief Sanitary Inspector
Without Appealing to City coun-
ell, Though Official Is
Much Needed

For some time yesterday the board of
health discussed the question of NAM
ing a chief sanitary inspector in order
to keep closer watch on the movements
of the present force of inspectors, but
took no action.
The health department now has chief
milk inspector and a chief meat inspect
or. DR.. l.. NJ. Powers has for years
favored naming chief inspector to re-
lieve him of the work of following up
sanitary inspection, but has been ham
pered. The last man selected for the
position died before he could serve even
temporarily.
To create the office the council must
first act and then the civil service COM
mission will hold an examination. None
of the present inspectors could be de-
tailed to the job because of civil service
rules requiring that the nature of the
work be similar for the same pay. The
board would prefer TO appoint an expert
enced inspector by promotion rather than
to select an outsider, who must first take
an examination.

PURGES BUSINESS DISTRICT
OF DISORDERLY HOUSES

Acting under orders from Captain OF
Police Thomas Broadhead, the New Ar
lfngton, the lone and the Richmond hotels,
which have been the abiding place of the
lower class of women in the half world,
were closed and the inmates ordered to
seek quarters elsewhere on Monday night.
AT the same time all of the other rooming
houses situated on Main and Commercial
streets which harbored women of this
class were ordered to get rid of their
dodgers at once. This step is taken, ac-
cording to Capt. Broadhead, to rid these
two streets of this class of tenants, and 1t
was further stated that they will not be
tolerated either on Main or Commercial
street again.
This action of the police does not in
terfere with the conduct of houses of
similar class located in other sections of
the city and is merely taken, so say the
police, to rid the wholesale business sec
ton of class of people whom the mer-
chants do not desire in close proximity to
them.

COAL RATES REDUCED
FOR SUMMER MONTHS
Interstate Commerce Commission
Grants Privilege to Stimulate
Trade and Avoid Future
Fuel Fanlines
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 20.-To stimulate the
purchase of coal during the summer
months when the greatest number of
cars for this purpose are available the
interstate commerce commission, at the
request of the Union Pacific railroad and
the Oregon Short Line, have especially
authorized a reduction of % cents a ton
on coal shipped to Washington, Idaho
and Nevada, between July 10 and Sep
tember /.
For the last two months officials of
the Hartman lines have been endeavor-
ing to induce western coal dealers to
make their shipments this summer III
order to avoid a recurrence of last win
ters fuel scarcity.
The difficulty then in supplying coal
to the western states grew partly out
of shortage of equipment and partly from
the fact that orders were delayed until
weather conditions made freight move
ment slow and difficult.
The Union Pacific therefore took the
unusual step of applying to the inter-
state commerce commission to be allowed
to make a reduction in it's rate in order
to get the cooperation of dealers in
shipping fuel now when the lines are
in good shape to handle 1t promptly.

TELLS CONVERSATION
OF ITO AND EMPEROR
BY Associated Press.

by ASSOCIATED 1TeSS
TOXIC, July 2O.-The following, 1t is
claimed, was the gst of the conversa-
tlon between the former emperor of
Korea and Marquis Ito at the audience
granted the latter on Thursday, July 49,
The emperor asserting his ignorance of
the dispatch of the deputaton to The
Hague, the Marquis Ito replied that he
had not come to ask the origin of the
authority for the deputation.
When the emperor asked Marquis Ito's
opinion regarding his abdication of the
throne, the latter is said to have an
swered that the affair was one purely for
imperial consideration in Korea and a
matter on which no foreign subject could
pass judgment.
The emperor then requested to have
those Koreans who were illegally acting
at The Hague punished through the
agency of Japan, but this the marquis
declared could not be done for the rea-
sor that they were in Holland
The marquis then turned to other sub
jects and retired.
The Korean premier, VI Wang Yang,
subsequently notified Marquis Ito of the
emperors abdication, requesting him at
the same time to notify the powers.
Says Abdication Is Voluntary
The minister of justice, Cho Ching,
then verbally explained to the MARQUIS in
behalf of the retired emperor that his
abdication was solely upon the initiation
of the emperor himself, ard not the re-
suit of any outside pressure.
1t was only the outcome, he said of a
desire upon the part of the emperor
which had been in his mind for ten years
past
In reply to both ministers it is be.
lieved that Marquis Ito said nothing def
mite.
According to Korean usage, abdicatior
of the throne means a total transfer OF
the ruling power to the successor, leav-
ing no room for any future interference
by the administration
The minister of agriculture, Sor
Phyonej Chun, in conversation with the
Associated Press representative said lat
he could hardly bear the idea of advis.
ing his imperial master of the necessity
for abdication, but in view of the gravity
of the situation involving danger, no other
alterratve was left him.
Should Japan, he said, not rest salts
