position Is Considered
Good Plan

The suggestion in yesterdays Herald
that division of the state of California
can be brought about easily and amio-
ably through an agreement with San
Francisco and Alameda for the removal
of the capial from Sacramento to Ber-
kelley has met with instantaneous and
practically unanimous approval.
on the streets and throughout Los
Angeles generally the subject was dis
Cussed yesterday and to all appear
ances the sentiment in favor of the
creation of the state of Southern Cali
fornia is growing rapidly.
opinion is freely expressed that under
the plan proposed by The Herald divi-
sion can be brought about with the least
possible friction and at the same time
the object of what appears to be tne
desire of a large majority of the resi-
dents of the northern section of the
state for a removal of the capital will
be gratined.
AS yet there is a noticeable aversion
on the part of many of the leaders in
business and professional circles of Los
Angeles to be quoted in favor of a di-
vision of the state, but when confidence
is assured many reasons are given as to
why Southern California should consti-
tute an individual commonwealth.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-26
Interests Not Common

The principal reason grven is that the
north and the south in California never
have had interests in common, and that
as time progresses this condition of
affairs becomes more apparent. The
south, in years gone by, has been al
most completely ignored by the north
as not worthy of consideration, so 1t is
declared, but with the rapid increase in
population and material advancement,
indicating probability that the south
will lead the north in both population
and wealth, there has arisen a spirit of
jealousy in the north against every
thing that pertains to Southern Califor-
mia, with the prospects that this feel
ing will increase in a ratio equaling
the advancement of the southern sec
ton.
During a casual canvass of the city
yesterday not an adverse criticism was
heard on the proposition to divide the
state, but the declaration was made re-
peatedly that the subject was one which
the Los Angeles chamber of commerce,
as the leading civic organization of
Southern California, should take up for
consideration and agitation.
1t was reported yesterday that within
a few days the chamber of commerce
will issue call for a mass meeting to
consider various subjects of vital l1n-
portance to Los Angeles, and the belief
is expressed that at this gathering the
subject of state division will be the
chief topic discussed.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-26
Chamber Is Reticent

Many members of the chamber of
commerce have declared themselves in
favor of separation of Southern Cali
fornia from the northern section of the
state, and they also have expressed the
belief that the chamber should officially
take cognizance of the agitation, but
officials of the body declare that while
they have pronounced views on the sub
ject they cannot at this time discuss the
affair or say whether there is a proba-
bility that the chamber will take any
action whatever in relation to the Dues
ton.
Belief is expressed, however, by men,
bers of the chamber that the sentiment
in the body of nearly 2500 leading busi-
ness and professional men of Los An
geles Is strong enough to induce the
board of directors to take the lead in
the agitation.
II am heartily in favor of division"
yesterday declared H. S. Baer, the we'll
known grape grower and a prominent
member of the chamber of commerce.
L am a native son of California and
was born in San Francisco and from a
sentimental point of view l am averse
to dismembering the Golden State, but
from a practical point of view and in
Justice to Southern California I am in
favor of the idea. The southern and
northern sections have nothing in COM
mon, and we of the south are tired of
the domination of the Ruefs and the
Herrins of the north. AS a rule, I am
not in favor of the chamber of COM
merce taking up political questions, but
it seems to me that this is not a
political subject and that the chamber
can with propriety not only discuss it
but take leading part in agitating the
affair"

Bankers Favor Division

A. w. Skinner, vice president of the
American Savings bank and a director
of the chamber of commerce. declared
himself as most emphatcally in favor
of state division, to be brought about as
soon as it can be accomplished He
declared that the recent developments
in Sacramento showed that such a move
is imperative, and that the south should
no longer be made to suffer by the
jealousy of the north, prompted by the
machine politicians
w. Fl. Workman, former city treas
urer and now president of the American
Savings bank said that the only objec-
tion he had to the division of the state
was based on his being an old Califor-
nian, but he thought the time was ripe
for agitation of the question.
II won't say just what l think of state
division" said j. M. Elliott, president of
the First National bank and member of
the board of water commissioners, but
l will tell you that l know men whom
supposed to be the soul of honor go TO
Sacramento and seem to try to do their
duty until there comes up a question in
which the railroad is interested, when
they fall down, This latest deal the
Legislature gave us was the limit"

STEALS A MARCH
Sudden Rain After Hackneyed "Con-
tnued Fair" Leaves Weather Man
Guessing on What Will
Come Next

Jupiter Pluvius stole a march both on
the state forecaster and on Local Fore
caster Wollaber Friday night when he
opened the spigots of the upper regions
and began to ring the rainfall total for
the season up nearer the average mark
for past years.
Prognosticator Wollaber could only
stand at his window watching the ram
drops and declare diffiidently, This is
50 sudden The fact that both the
weather seers overlooked the storm
clouds which began leaking Friday
night bears out the statement of Mr..
Wollaber.
Without the slightest warning the
storm seems to have come in from the
ocean, and Mr.. Wollaber says that not
even now does low pressure area show
sufficiently to permit him to say this
rainfall will be light or heavy. He ex-
poets to see the storm area moving
eastward by tonight, but in the mean
while unsettled showery weather will
prevail.

BES0LD DEFENSE WILL
BEGIN MONDAY MORNING

Expert testimony in Identification of
various articles of clothing belonging
to Mrs. Glade Besold occupied the ses-
sion in department 1 of the superior
court yesterday in the trial of Anton
Besold, charged with the murder Of
his wife.
The state practically finished it's
case when former Sheriff Will A.
White testified regarding the CONVERSE
tion held with Besold by the officers
on their return trip from Washington
in which the sheriff stated he had
asked Besold why he took his wife in
the lonely canyon to kill her, and
Besold had replied
IF you have any heart, sheriff, you
will not ask me that. She made trou-
BILE for me while she lived and now
she is making more for me after she
is dead"
The defense will probably take up its
case at today's session, but not one
idea of it's plan Of campaign has yet
been learned.

CITY ATTORNEY
WINS A POINT
Assembly Committee Agrees to Com
promise, Giving Him Privilege
of Conducting City Cases
in Police Court

Assistant City Attorney Works
returned from Sacramento yesterday
and told his chief, Leslie r. Hewitt,
that he believed he had been success
full in his efforts to kill the bill which
has passed the senate, giving the dis
trict attorney the entire supervision
over city cases in the police courts.
A compromise has been reached, ac-
cording to Mr.. Works, whereby the
district attorney will have jurisdiction
over police court cases involving a
felony and where state laws are Vio-
lated, but violations of city ordinances
will still be under the city attorney.
Accordingly City Attorney Hewitt
and his assistant were busy until late
last night drawing up an amended bill
Incorporating this compromise, which
will be forwarded at once. The OBJ
jectionable bill is now in the hands of
the judiciary committee of the house
and this committee has told Mr..
Works 1t will accept the amendment.
Members OF the senate who were in
strumental in passing the first bill
have also agreed to the compromise
and say that when the amended bill
is returned from the house 1t will be
passed without opposition.
