MINING EXPOSITION

TIME preliminaries to building up a
mining exposition in Los Angeles
Il to cover six months of time-from
May to October, 19O8-and to be located
in reach of all lines of travel, are in
the hands of competent men, and the
subject will, deservedly, awaken great
interest. 1t is strange, but true, that
the great mass of the people do not
know "winge," or "crosscut," or
"drift," or fault" from a last years
potato vine, yet they gladly invest their
savings in the hope of winning by
chance.
A we'll equipped scientific exposition
of practical mining, in all it's varied
phases, would be a genuine help, and
serve not only the purpose of attracting
crowded attendance but of educating
the people in matters all should know.
Second thought raises the natural
query "Why did not some man think
of this before?" so inviting is the pros
pect and so we'll adapted the time and
place.
Investment in mining stocks is not
COnnueQ 10 any SGCllOil VI lIC SOuhIly y
or class of the people; and it is safe to
assume that no other incentive of a
like nature could draw by it's innate
interest so many intelligent people to a
given point. The possibilities of "boost-
ing too are great If in wise hands, and
excellent results may be the outcome
of this exposition.
1t is hoped Mayor Harper and the
city authorities generally will lend all
help possible, under judicious care, to
competent managers who shall prove
that personal ends are not part of
the program.
1.-THE days of old, and the days OF
gold, and the days of '49" would pass
before the newer generations, and ster
by step the younger element would be
led up to a full realization of the her
culean labors of the men who have ad-
vanced scientific mining from the pan
and ''rocker" to it's present condition.
The Herald favors the exposition il
it shall be hedged with proper safe
guards and believes it will be the means
of much good to Los Angeles.

CHARACTER AssAssINs

backbiter planted the venom, with the

character and with no special motive
therefor than to crafty a lust for kill

inner history of scores of bitter lives
would tell the agonies thus piled on
innocent men and women by that curse
of modern social life-the man who by
inunendo robs the stranger of his or

1t is as certain and universal as is
the law of gravity that so-called social
respectability covers no meaner wretch
than the man or woman who stabs
character in others with-"But 1 for

Now the muzzle Of another gun has
blown off during naval target practice,
this time at Che Foo. This recalls a
similar accident few years ago on
the battleship Iowa. In that instance
the forgings for the guns were once
condemned as defective but afterward
accepted by a special board" Five
lives were sacrificed on that occasion.
How long must we wait for day of
reckoning for those who sell and

HEWITT RESEN7S
HEALY'S THRUST
EXCITING SCENE IN COUNCIL
ENDS IN LAUGHTER
Blanchard Puts End to Strain by Con-
Tossing That Old Council
"Jobbed" Ordinances
Secretly

Dramatic scenes attended the effort OF
the city council yesterday to adjust the
number of men to be employed in Tax
Collector E. Il. Johnson's office and to
fix the salaries.
Councilman Wallace had intimated that
the old council had granted increases III
salaries to some men when there was
little occasion to do so-that 1t was
merely another treasury grab.
The nonpartisans were making an
effort to put the salaries on the OLD
basis before the raise but the Repuplcahs
stood by johnson.
Wallace's hint at looting the treasury
brought Councilman Healy of the Eighth
ward to his feet and in defending the
old council tried to put some of the blame
on City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt, who
was then chief deputy for City Attorney
w. B. Mathews, Healy said the city
attorney had been consulted.
MANY ordinances were passed by that
office of which the city attorneys office
knew nothing" said Mr.. Hewitt, pale al
the charge. IF my office Is to be re-
sponsible it must be cognizant of the
measures passed and assist in their
preparation. Salary ordinances were
passed that our office never saw.
Healy started to speak again but his
holdover colleague from the old council
Blanchard, changed the trend by saying;
IAN honest cofession is good for the
soul. Mr. Hewitt is right 1t is fact
that when we had a job we wanted to
put through we did it without letting the
city attorney know anything about it,
as we were afraid he might spoil it.
'I guess that's right" said President
Niles Pease.
Blanchard with his witty interlude had
turned the debate, caused laughter and
ended any further disclosures.
Now some of Johnson's deputies threat
en- to walk out as many Of them under
the new ordinance are cut from $40 to
$40 a month.

W|nfRSKl BOUND OVER
Is Held on the Charee of
ManS1au&hter in First
Degree

Theodore Wiherski, charged with
being responsible for the death of
Mr.. Gertrude Kufel, was brought az
from Minneapolis Tuesday morning
by Sheriff Long and arraigned before
Justice 9audet Wednesday morning on
the charge Of granddaughter in the
first degree preferred by Jos. kutfel,
q son of deceased.
The state was represented by Coun.
ty Attorney Cameron and the defense
by A. P. Blanchard.
The evidence brought out was much
the same as at the coroners inquest
except in the case of Barbara Kutfel.
daughter of the woman, VINO testified
that her mother, although at first
having said it was her own fault, be.
fore her. death stated afterward that
Wiherski shot her on purpose. The
other witnesses examined all stated
that Mrs. Kuffel lad said the accident
was through her own fault and re-.
peated the story as to the fact of try
ing to kill the woodchuck.
The defense cling to the theory that
the woman was struck by the outlet
after glanciDg from ROCK, and that
it was purely accidental. no bad feel
ing having been shown between the
parties, and that the deceased herself
importuned Wiherski to kill the wood
chuck, and that the bullet could just
as we'll have been DETECTED by coming
in contact with stone as with rib,
as was shown by the inquest.
Tne prosecution claims that thecon.
ditlon OF the bullet would 90 away
with the theory OF glanclng shot,
and that the missile entered the body
by q direct shot.
Although the charge is for man
slaughter in the first degree, the de-
fendant can be Indicted or tried on a
lesser one
After hearing the testimony Justice
4audet after some consideration
bound the defendant over to the grand
jury in the sum ct $500.
