WILL BUY LAND
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Board of Education Favors Purchase
for Extension of Grounds for
Botanical Gardens and
Athletic Field

BY the expenditure of almost $4,000
the board of education will provide
athletic and botanical ground for the
Los Angeles high school. The grave
yard" property behind the high school,
now in the possession of C. r. SHILLING,
was recently condemned by the courts
and a valuation of $21, 500 set upon it;
and last night the question of buying
it came up before the board of educa-
ton.
Principal Housh of the high school
pointed out strongly the needs of the
additional grounds both for BOTANICAL
gardens and for the athletic activities.
Other members of the board urged that
the present cramped conditions of dpe
school grounds were deporable, and
when the high school board adjourned
it was in favor of purchasing the proptt
erty.
Two years ago the same plot and
another lot besides were offered the
board of education for $4,000, but the
board did not accept it at that time
because of lack of funds, and since
then the property has almost trebled
in value.
Owing to lack of sufficient funds in
the high school treasury the necessary
money will be taken from the common
school fund. A special meeting of the
board has been called for Wednesday
noon to vote this money.

DUSTIN FARNUM HELPS
VICTIMS FORGET INJURIES

The kindness of Dustin Farnum,
whose work in 1.-THE Virginian" is
pleasing every one this week, is caus-
ing two of the desperately injured
girls at the emergency hospital, vic
Tins of the Cressaty disaster, to ex-
perience some sort of happiness even
in their condition.
Several days ago Farnum learned
that the wife of Eddie Graney, the
referee at San Francisco, was i'll and
he shipped a great basket of violets
to her.
At the performance at the Mason
last night a great floral piece went up
over the footlights for Farnum and to
1t was attached Graney's card. Far
mum donated it to the sufferers and 1t
was sent to Misses Anna Cooper and
Emma Haggerty, two injured girls.

TIME NOT RIPE
FOR GAS PLANT
counciImen Oppose Municipal owner
ship, as Owens Aqueduct Is En-
crossing Undivided Atten-
ton of Lawmakers

Municipal ownership delegates in the
lobbies of the council yesterday tried
to induce the gas and light committee
to make a report favoring municipal
ownership Of a plant in Los Angeles.
Later they addressed the council itself.
Chairman Lyon stated that because
of owens river and other subjects the
committee could not hear all concerned
so far.
Member Wallace of the same COM
mittee said he was ready to vote now
on a proposition, but it would be adj
verse. His view was that discussing
such a purchase at this time was ill
advised. The owens river aqueduct
was the surprising subject confront
ing legislators here now.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The action OF
the stock market today gave full war

extreme despondency had swept over
the sentiment of the operators. ThG
selling was constant and the demand
was so small as to be negligible quan-
tity, except as the concessions in the
price level uncovered some buying
This demand was not aggressive In
character and interposed no effective
obstacle to the continuous drop OF
The progress of the testimony of f.
ri. Hartman before the Interstate COM
mercc commission was the subject of
universal discussion and the weakness
of stocks was generally attributed tu
this cause Wall street sees in this
prospect a supply of fuel for the anger
against the railroads and other Corpo-
rations. which is active in shaping eX-
ecutive measures and in directing pub
lie policy all over the country.
The fear has gained ground in finan-
cial circles that the stability of the
country's prosperity or the averting OF
coming industrial depression is to be
decided by the course of public senti-
ment in these lines.
Money rates here are inclined to WORK
higher. Large maturities are falling
due of loans made last fall during the
period of high rates and 1t is reported
that interior lenders instead of renew
ing arc disposed to call in their funds
for use at home.
a survey of the days net losses shows
a severe impairment of values and
prices in some important stocks at the
lowest of the year.
The western and northwestern rail-
road stocks generally came within the
special effects of the feeling growing
out of the Hartman testimony. These
special stocks show losses extending to

orally from one to three points and last
