in the Police Sta
ton

Dr. William r. Severson of 1913 Fedora
street and L. ]. Newcomb, well known
figure along Spring street, were arrested
at the central police station last night by
Lieutenant William Murray and booked
on charges of drunkenness.
According to the statement of the police
DR.. Severson and a party of friends were
out in an automobile AS they approached
the turn at the corner of Second and
Spring streets Newcomb was standing
near the sidewalk. DIR. Severson motioned
to the man to get out of the way of the
machine, which he did.
After the automobile had passed New
comb is said to have thrown a cigarette
box at DIR. Severson, knocking off his
glasses and breaking them. DR.. Severson
then drove to the station and lodged a
complaint against Newcomb. Patrolman
Spellman was sent after him and brought
him to the station.
In Lieutenant Murrays office the two
men almost came to blows and refused to
be quiet when ordered. After trying all
means to get the men into a good humor
Lieutenant Murray was finally forced to
lock them up on charges of intoxication.

RABBI EDELMAN

The entire city of Los Angeles sus-
tains a loss in the passing of Rabbi
Abraham W. Edelman, who died yes
terday at the ripe age of rs years..
Having been a resident of the city for
almost half century, during which he
was active and helpful in all religious
and charitable work, and particularly
identified with the city's growth, he be-
came personally well known to thou
sands of people who were always proud
of his friendship. The rabbi did not
confine his labors to the Hebrew race,
but always manifested interest in the
progress of all races. During the past
two years he was a frequent contribu-
tor to The Herald on topics of Hebrew
faith, and his delightful English and
beautiful expressions will long be re-
membered. The sorrowing family of
Rabbi Edelman have the sympathy OF
all Los Angeles in their bereavement.

MORE POWER no Fem

1--WE are crushing monopoly" says
Franklin X. Lane, interstate commits
sioner, in a late interview. 1--WE are
putting all men and all business con-
Germs dealing with railroads upon a
common level of privilege, and we will
not allow railroads to control indus
tries by offering rebates to certain men
and trying to murder smaller concerns"
That's the right sort of talk, and
everybody in California knows that 1T
is absolutely true, or Mr.. Lane would
not have said it. On the contrary,
had the reverse been true, his voice
would be loudest and strongest in noti-
flying the people that his commission
had failed of its purposes.
The commission has travelled far and
fast since it received new powers from
congress and since Mr.. Lane became q
member Of 1t. Living in a state noto-
riously throttled and manacled by the
Southern Pacific-a pocket borough of
e. H Harriman-no member Of the
commission could appreciate as does
~
people to railway greed, rapacity and
political domination. Hence he entered
upon his public duties filed with en-
'thusiasm and hope. His inquiries at
Los Angeles developed much material
for reform, and that he is still fighting
the battles of the people is shown by
the fact that an additional investiga-
ton is now being conducted here by
Attorney Frank G. Finlayson, repre-
senting Mr.. Lane.
But the commission finds that it needs
additional powers If its labors are to
be made completely successful. 1t will
ask congress for power to make rules
governing the furnishing of cars to
shippers: to control the movement of
cars at minimum rate after they are
loaded; to have plenary power to con-
troll the capitalization of railroads; to
prevent the watering of railroad stocks;
increased powers respecting the regu-
lation of all kinds of rates; and to
govern the movement of freight to con-
signees.
These additional powers are deemed
necessary by the commission to the
accomplishment of railway regulation
by the government on behalf Of the
people, and it is morally certain that
congress will not now hesitate to give
the commission all possible assistance.
The people demand it, and If they don't
get it-look out for the deluge.

sci for time, at least, perhaps long
enough to effect a rescue Of all on
board.
1t is notorious fact that our coast
wise steamship service is a constant
menace to life. Obsolete vessels unfit
for the Atlantic service are brought to
this coast and put in commission with
out much regard to the safety of pas
sengers. Between the ocean craft sup
piled by the Southern Pacific company
and the company's coast line railway
it is "Iobson's choice" for safety.
Although the steamship business in
our Pacific waters is mere fraction of
similar business on the Atlantic side,
disasters on this side are frequent,
while they are rare on the other side.
No volume of special pleading by
Southern Pacific officials nor other man
ayers of craft on this coast can con-
trovert that fact.
Marine collins should not be tolerated
in public service on the Pacific coast.

BRYAN HITS THE MARK

While the debate grows hotter on
the public ownership question the minds
of cool-haaded Americans are likely to
accept the judgment of William j.
Bryan, as expressed few days ago.
The Democratic leader says: Gov
eminent ownership is not an immediate
issue; a large majority of the people
still hope for effective regulation. and
while they so hope they will not con-
slider ownership" And this conclusion
is emphasized by the statement that
regulation must be tried under the
most favorable circumstances before
the masses will be ready to try more
radical remedy"
The declaration thus quoted silences
the persistent assertions of opponents
that Mr.. Bryan favors the acquisition
of the railways by the government. AS
matter of fact his attitude agrees
with that of every other thoughtful
citizen. That is to say, every clear
minded citizen believes that the rail-
way companies should be obliged to
play fair" with the people. AS last
resort in the effort to compel fairness
the government may be driven to the
extremity of railway ownership and
operation.
Not, however, as Mr.. Bryan declares
until the plan of government regulation
has teen tried exhaustively.
In this judgment of the distinguished
Democratic leader lies the solution of
the whole question of public ownership,
municipal as we'll as federal. 1t offers
a medium course between the two ex-
IRENE sides of the question, one of
which goes the full length of public
ownership in all utilities, while the
other side opposes such ownership on
general principles.
The idea of public control of utilities
is just as applicable to municipal af-
fairs as to affairs of the federal gov
eminent. President Roosevelt and Mr..
Bryan agree on the point so far as the
railways are concerned. There is no
apparent reason why the public utilities
of city-Los Angeles, for instance
might not be improved by such control
as is contemplated by the government
concerning the railways.
There is wide difference, be 1T re-
membered, between such control and
the actual handling of public utilities.
Control does not destroy competition,
but public ownership necessarily builds
up a government monopoly that is de-
structive of individual and corporate
effort.
1t is possible, as Mr.. Bryan intimates,
that government control of the railways
may prove to be unsatisfactory and
that it will be necessary ultimately to
try the last resort of government own
ership. A like result might follow the
plan of complete municipal control of
utilities. But the virtue of the control
system should be tested first and tested
to the extremity of thoroughness.

MILES OF NEW STREETS

More substantial evidence is at hand
indicating that Los Angeles again has
struck it's gait" as racing men say.
The relative lull in progress that pre-
vailed for few months is disappearing
rapidly.
At the last meeting of the city coun-
ell action was taken, as reported, thus:
"Within a quarter of an hour there
were passed ordinances of intention
for the paving of more miles of the
city's streets than was accomplished in
all of last years work" The aggre-
gate of street paving provided for in
that quarter of an hour is in excess of
eight miles.
All citizens understand the signifi-
canoe of that announcement. 1t means
that the preliminary steps have beeE
taken for eight miles more of cozy Los
Angeles homes-sixteen miles, in fact
as the homes will occupy both sides of
the new streets. Allowing for standard
lots of fifty feet frontage, the eight
miles of streets will provide for PIP
dwellings,, affording homes for more
than 10000 people.
And yet that addition to the living
accommodations of the city is sufficient
to supply the needs of our growing
population for only three or four
months. At the present rate of the
city's growth, about $4,000 year, there
is need in single year for more than
three times the homes provided for by
the eight miles of street improvements
Provision for extensive street work
such as the city council has again COM
menced to lay out, will start renewed
building activity all along the lines
marked for improvements. Hundreds
of lot owners desiring to improve prop
erty on such lines have waited long
and patiently for the street work order
But there are many more miles OF
streets awaiting such action of the
council as was taken at the last meet
ing. Thousands of other prpperty own
ers, noting the good luck that befell sc
many at that meeting, will look for
ward now to like action affecting thei,
own interests.
The scarcity of house room in Los
Angeles is growing more acute every
day and a "house famine. is forecast
for next winter as the judgment of rea,
estate agents. There is yet time, how
ever, for the erection of many miles Of
homes before the coming of the rainy
season.

MARINE CoFFINS

The only surprising thing about the
loss of the Columbia is that such old
and worn out craft survive so long.
According to reports the Columbia was
built in 1SS0-twenty-sev years ago.
Like the other ancient craft that have
gone to the bottom on this coast, it was
brought around Cape Horn, presumab bly,,
because of being out of date for Allan
tic service.
A strictly modern steamship might,
of course, have been a victim of the
mishap that befell the Columbia. But
a modern vessel would not have gone
to the bottom in seven minutes, as the
Columbia is said to have done.
The coast line to which the Columbia
belonged is a part of the water trans
portation system of the Southern Pa
ciflc Railway company. r. P. Schwerin,
general manager of all the company's
water lines, says the Columbia was
equipped with five water-tight COM
partments and collision bulkhead. He
assumes, therefore, that the impact of
the San Pedro was so terrific that it
crushed the side of the Columbia as if
it were an eggshell breaking down
the bulkhead and flooding the compart-
ments.
But a down to date steamship, sup
piled with such compartments as are
seen in the Atlantic service, would not
sink as the Columbia did, even if 1t
were cut half through amidships. Ger
tain compartments might be destroyed,
but the other ones would buoy the yes

with apologies to Kipling).
When earths far maidens have faded
and their hair is scanty and dyed.
When all their lashes are falling, and
their skin is wrinkled and dried,
They will paint, and. faith, they will need

Until lips and cheeks and eyebrows will
take on a beautiful hue.
And those that were rights shall be

They'll enter her shop, n-headed, and

They shall find an artist to pad them-old

They shall gain five pounds at visit

And only their sister will notice, so only
their sister will blame,
But they will not mind her sneering, for

They'll change themselves where they

Committeeman who are arranging for
the Catholic picnic to be held at one Oh
the nearby beach resorts in August are
searching for n man.
They haven't decided yet just where or
lust when the picnic will be held. Those
minor details can be settled any time
but man they must have and ne must
be man of exceptional qualihcatlons'
First of all he must be brave to the
noint of foolhardiness He must be a
Hobson in war and a Hobson in peace
though he will be asked to confine MS
kissing proclivities entirely to his own
department.
The man must be a judge. 1t matters
not whether he knows the law; or
whether he was born in Kentucky or
out of it, He must be judge and good
judge-of babies.
Last year the annual Catholic picnic
baby show brought out fifty babies ana
the Judge was almost mobbed by proud
mammas, whose little Willies and tiny
I,ucys failed to receive an award.
This year there has been a pronounced
inclination to avoid service in so haz-
ardous a position, but the committee reefs
certain that it will be able to unearth
hero. sooner or later, who will accept
the task.
A meeting was held in Cathedral hall
last night at which about 300 persons
were present, to appoint a committee
which shall have the detail work of the
big annual picnic in hand. This was done,
P. ]. O'Connor being named as president;
p. ]. O'Donnell, as secretary and Theo-
dore Bussman as treasurer.
1t is the intention to make the 1907
picnic the biggest in the history of similar
gatherings in Southern California. A fine
athletic program, with appropriate prizes
for the winners, will be offered. There
will be swimming races, rowing races and
similar aquatic sports.
And there will be baby show-and
