Sina Patriotic Airs

SluH ahNpAlS NUS
During the progress of the dinner the
orchestra played number of patriotic
tunes, and the diners rose and sang
america" and "The Star Spangled
Banner" and afterward heartily cheered
Dixie"
Every one present was i'm great good
humor, but If merriment was needed II
was supplied by Gen. NJ. G. wentworth
and Seward A. Simons of Pasadena,
who sat together and led in the vocal
numbers.
At the head of the table sat T. M.
Gibbon, while on his right were Rev.
Baker Z. Lee and Col. w. L. Green. and
on his left Dr. L. a. Perce and Lee c..
Gates.

president, which was drunk standing,
after which the banqueters sang For
He's jolly Good Fellow"
Mr.. Gibbon said n few words in be-
half of the work of the Development
Society of California, and then the an
expected happened.
I'VE must work for Southern Califor-
MIA until Southern California becomes
an independent state. which 1t will in
time; but until that time comes we
must coordinate and work for the en-
tire state" declared Mr.. Gibbon.

extended explanation and defense OF
the transactions, which, he Contended,
were fully justified by the conditions
and circumstances of the time and had
oeen conducted entirely in the open.
Harriman's examination lasted for
hNe hours and was unmarked by acri-
mony. The witness declined to be led
into an attempt to explain the details
OF the Alton operation, and constantly
referred his questioner to the records
of the Alton company.
Mr.. Harriman's testimony began
with the issuance of one hundred mill
lion of convertible bonds by the Union
Pacihc for the purpose primarily of
paying for the Southern Pacific i'm 1901.
ana then led through the purchase in
connection with the Oregon Short line
of the Northern Pacific stock
MI. Hartman identified a statement
showing that since the first day of last
july the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short line have purchased stocks at a
cost of $lSO.0O0,0OO and Mr.. Kellogg, the
governments attorney. sought to show
that, inquired by prices in the market
today there had been a loss of SILL
100000 on the investment
Hartman Explains
Mr.. Hartman said that this was pos
sibly true and when further questioned
asked permission to explain.
The witness said If Northern Pacific
and Great Northern MAINTAIN their
present prices the profit in the North
ern Pacific investment would amount
to about S6100OOOO. The witness was
taken over the total investments and
sales made by the Union Pacific and
oregon Short line and in the end de-
MED that they had been made for
speculative purposes.
The witness then related the story of
the purchase of $4,000, 900 of the stock
of the Baltimore & Ohio, payment for
which would, he said. be completed in
March and September next. He had
discussed the purchase with the late
President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania
railroad but nothing had been said as
to price, and no conditions were at
tached TO the purchases.
Inquiry about the Union Pacific pur-
chase of stock In the Alton led the way
to the first objection of counsel for Mr..
Hartman to a question as to the
amount of stock the witness had held
in the Alton. The witness explained
the sale
Examination as to the purchase of AL
ton stock by the Union Pacific COM
menced just before adjournment. The
witness said the first purchase of AL
ton by the syndicate was made with
out any reference to the Union Pacific
and when Mr.. Kellogg produced a cir
cular issued in 1898. stating the ad-
vantages of a Union Pacific connection
to the stockholders of the Alton, the
witness denied knowledge of it's is
suance.
Mr.. Hartman will continue his tes-
timony tomorrow.

Want Younq Men

John Willis Baer, president of Occi-
dental college, took slight issue with
the preceding speakers who had urged
the Importance of an increase in the
inflow of tourists and capitalists into
California.
I'VE are not after wealthy men only"
said Mr.. Baer. I'VE want young men
to come here. and do their life work.
There is no place in the world where a
young man can get more for his work
and energy and capital than in South
ern California. The state needs pub
licity, but not Of the yellow kind. There
is one example of the yellow press with
its headquarters in this vicinity, and 1t
ought to be gagged. There is a man in
San Francisco who was doil4s this
state in infinite amount of harm-I re-
fer to the mayor of that city. When
the president invites him to eat with
him, it seems much more questionable
than other invitations which he has
given for which he has been criticised.

Strikes Popular Chord

The effect of the remarks was cleo
trical, and it is safe to say that during
the ensuing sixty seconds or more there
was never a greater demonstration
among a body of similar size, and the
statement was frequently made after
ward that If a popular vote were taken
now in Southern California it would
show practically a unanimous sentiment
in favor of breaking away from the
north of California, whose hatred for
the southern section apparently is con-
stantly growing.
Col. w. l.. Green of Pasadena, who
was announced for a speech on Good
Roads and What They Mean to Us"
was greeted by the yell, "Rah, rain,
rah; Green, Pasadena" for which COM
pliment he expressed his thanks.
Col. Green demonstrated by his re-
marks that he is an enthusiast on the
subject of good reads. and he argued
that the acquisition of good roads was
desirable from every point of view, IN
cluding pleasure and profit, and which
he said means the same, as the pleasure
which good roads would insure would
bring profit through the attraction of
wealthy tourists who would come to
Southern California in preference to 60
ing to Europe.

of the sentence, or take such action as

Another railway project to connect
