GILLETT APPROVES
WILLIS BILL
Equipment Expensive
CContinued from Pare OneD
pass. The voting of the entire amount
will guarantee the complete construc-
ton of the work to this city,

VIII guarantee Jne complete COISJTuC-
ton of the work to this city.
Equipment Expensive
In starting a great work of this kind
a very large percentage of the expendi-
lures must be put into equipment and
organizations so that with 80 per cent
of the funds expended it very seldom
follows that so per cent of the work
will be performed. According to previ-
Gus experiences, after the organiza-
ton and equipment has been assem-
bled, the, e,latter part of the work should
&c with relatively greater rapidity and
smaller expense.
1t is frequently difficult to have this
understood, but anyone connected with
large construction enterprises will
fully appreciate this condition. Bond
buyers also feel they have greater Sc
curity. If they know all the funds are
available for the completion of the en-
terprise, than if the funds are only
debt will be secured by the property of
the city at large, mast experience else
where has shown that if some failure
should occur to issue the final amounts
for the construction of the plant, it
would be quite possible that the pay
ment of interest and principal would be
grudgingly made, if not resisted. The
JULIUS Will SSll W DeIleE advantage ana
at a lower rate for the city if the en-
tire issue is voted at once, say bond
experts.
While it is proposed that the entire
issue should be voted at one election
1t is intended that the bonds should
be issued and sold by the council in
series, that is in blocks of from four to
five million each. The series will in eff
feet be separate bond issues, which will
be progressively sold as the work ad-
vances and will not bear interest for
required sinking fund payments until
they are so issued, consequently in
terest charges will not be due on the
entire amount until all of the bonds
have been sold. During the first year,
possibly $5,000,000 of this amount will
be sold, the other series being sold with
possible intervals of one year each.
May Bank Funds
At the election last November the
state constitution was amended so
that public funds may be deposited
with banks, provided the banks secure
the deposits on the part of the city, by
depositing with the city treasurer muni-
cipal bonds. This arrangement will
prevent these large amounts of money
being taken out of circulation, and this
provision In the bond law correspond
ingly enhances the value of the NUM-
cipal bond to the banks, and will very
materially assist the city in getting low
rates of interest on its bonds Be-
cause of this feature it is believed that
these proposed bonds will be largely
sold locally or in the state of California.

CONSPIRACY CASE
STILL HANGS FIRE
GREEN AND GAYN0R TO HAVE
ANOTHER CHANCE
After Seven Years In the Courts,
Action Brought by the Govern
ment Is to Be Aired
Again
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS, March 5--The
case of Benjamin +. Green and John
f. Gaynor charged with conspiracy
against the United States government.
was called for argument today before
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals.
This case has been pending for more
than seven years I'm one form or an
other, involving arguments before ju-
dicial authorities of this country Can
ada and England.
After the original indictment had
been found i'm Savannah, Ca, in 1899,
there followed about two years of a
preliminary examination in New York
where the defendants reside. Then, fol-
lowing brief hearing In Savannah,
they were for three years fugitives in
Canada, while the United States gov
ernment carried their cases to the
privy council In England before finally
securing their extradition.
In January, 1906, at their trial in
Savannah they were declared guilty on
charges of conspiracy, embezzlement
and presenting false claims.
Convictions Secured
Convictions were secured upon allie
cation that they conspired to defraud
the United States government, induc-
ing the acceptance of t,.eir bids at a
higher cost than the conditions war
ranted, on contract work in Savannah
harbor
They were sentenced to four years
Imprisonment each and to pay a fine
of $575,000 which equals the entire
amount paid them by the government
for the Savannah work. They are now
in Jail at Macon pending the result of
the appeal.
Before the case was called attorneys
for Green and Gaynor announced that
the appeal is based on nearly 200 as
signments of error, classified under fif-
teen subjects, including the extradition
or the statutes of limitation, the ques-
tion of whether New York or Georgia
courts had jurisdiction and the claim
that the jury which convicted was not
legally qualified.

The Southern Pacific lines are heavy
sufferers from the storm. A bad cave
in at tunnel II, a frequent scene of
trouble, delayed traffic yesterday.
Trains on the Ell Paso division are held
at Mojave and Kern City. The Salton
sea is reported to be leaving its banks
on the Colorado desert and submerging
the tracks.
The work at the postoffice was demor-
allied by the failure of the mails to ar
rive on time. Early last night con-
signment on the delayed Southern Pa
cif1c overland kept the postoffice en-
ployes working far into the night.

will compel the rural delivery men to
take roundabout routes today.
In the hilly districts of the city, where
the streams were turned into torrents.
much damage was done. Trenches dug
for gas mains and water works were
filled and several of these were the be-
ginnings of deep cuts into the streets.
One of these trenches was washed into
yawning hole at Fifth street and

Thunder PeaIs

A strange feature of yesterdays
storm was the fact that several peals of
thunder were heard. A number of per-
sons meeting downtown in the morn
ing claimed to have heard the thunder,
and were discredited, but the report of
the weather bureau contained the rec
ord of three distinct claps. The wind
which preceded the rain reached the
unusually high velocity of thirty-four
miles an hour.
The storm is moving to the north and
east Although showers are predicted
for today, clearing weather is prophe-
sled later in the week. Showers will be
probable in the clearing.
At Ocean Park the thunder was dis
tinctly heard The beach cities were
drenched by the deluge, which was ac-
companied by high seas. Santa Monica
bay was in a ferment. The precipita-
tion in Santa Monica for the twenty
four hours of the storm was 1.94 inches
up to date This gives a total of 1S. 81
inches for the season, an excess over
the Los Angeles record. The records
were taken by the Southern Pacific rain
gauge. The short line division on the
Los Angeles-Paeific road was damaged
by washout on the line east of Ivy
station, Traffic was stopped on the
! line and special trips were made from
Venice to The Palms.
While the small craft in the bay was
driven to cover by the storm. none IL
known to have been seriously damaged
and there have been reports of but two
losses. The steamer Santa Rosa, from
San Francisco, made several unsuccess
full attempts to land at Santa Monice
and went to Redondo, where she wal
unloaded yesterday afternoon.
The two losses were dories belonging
to Hans Carlsten and w. H. Fair. Th,
