.HARBOR SUITS
WILL NOT DRAG
Arguments Urged by Certain Resi-
dents of San Pedro and Whining
ton Asserted to Be Without
Good Foundation

/ The argument has been made at San
Pedro and Wilmington this week that
| litigation from one or both of those
cities should be initiated to prevent the
| Los Angeles harbor commission from
carrying on the tide lands suits 1t is
urged in support of this that the suits
amount to the tying up in the courts of
harbor development for a number of
years, and that the best interests of
the bay will be injured.
There is no occasion for delay of any
kind" said A. P. Fleming, secretary
and attorney for the harbor commits
sion yesterday. I'VE have insisted,
when discussing the suits with attor-
neys representing the defendants, that
no delay of any kind will be tolerated.
If they will make an agreed case and
accept service we can have a decision
from the supreme court in six months.
This is entirely possible and will settle
the question.
In any event. the tide lands titles
will be disposed of within eighteen
months There is no foundation for
any statement that the cases will take
several years, and there is nothing to
substantiate this in the history of cases
before the supreme court. Cases of less
Importance and on all fours with this
matter have been carried through and
disposed of i'm between two and three
years, including delays in the lower
courts, and without any reason for adj
vancing them.
IF the defendants will agree to fa-
ciitate progress of the suits there is no
reason why the matter should remain
in the courts more than six months.
If they wish to delay the ultimate de-
cision it will not, in that case, take
more than eighteen months. 1t is UP
to them"
The persons who are endeavoring to
work up suits against the harbor COM
mission to interfere with the tide lands
cases are said to be the same men who
circulated the stories at Wilmington
that the commission had no intention
of institutinF any tide lands suits.

WOMAN OPERATES
POLICE SYSTEM
Continues Work Begun by Her Hus-
band-Robbers Give Her
District a Wide
Berth

Mrs. Charles Foster, wife Of the late
private watchman whose invention Of
police signal service attracted atten-
tion in all parts of the country, is still
in charge of the service founded by
her husband, and alone and unaided
she is controlling one of the finest pat
rol systems in the west.
During the years Foster was in
charge scarcely a robbery disturbed the
residents in the Bonnie Brae district,
despite the fact that many criminals
and highWaymen were arrested there.
At the time of Fosters death it was
stated by polite officials that Mrs.
Foster would be unable to carry on the
work in the same manner her hus-
band had, and it was freely predicted
that before long the system would be
back number. Mrs. Foster however
did not feel that way about it, and q
few days after her husbands funeral
she took active charge of affairs.
Since the death of Foster there has
not been a single robbery or attempted
robbery reported from the district
which the system covers, yet nearly a
dozen men have been arrested there
Not one of them has been able to give
any satisfactory explanation of his
presence leading the police to believe
that robbery was the thing which
prompted them to visit the neighbor-
hood.
The headquarters of the Foster sys-
tenn is equipped with a switchboard
over which the wathcmen ring in their
calls. This board is attended by Mrs.
Foster personally She receives all calls
and gives orders. The force is COM
posed of about fifteen private watch
men, all uniformed, and members Of
the police force, who six months ago
were convinced the system would soon
be thing of the past, now take off

WIRES MURPHY HE
IS ARCH TRAITOR
Los Angeles Real Estate Man Tells
Tammany Leader He Is Despised
by All Who Know
Him

Denouncing Charles F. Murphy, Tam
many leader in New York, as a traitor
to the cause of Democracy, j. Harvey
Mccarthy, well known Democrat, pres
ident of the Pioneer Investment and
Trust company and one of the big real
estate operators of Los Angeles, yes
terday telegraphed Murphy his opinion
of the deal by which, it is believed by
many, Bryan was sold out in New
York.
In his message toe Murphy Mr.. Nc
Carthy says:
You have at last unveiled yourself
and are today the greatest living
American traitor, despised by all who
know vou."
To Mr.. Bryan at Fairview Mr.. Nc
Carthy telegraphed the following mes
sage of confidence and regard:
Hon. w. j. Bryan, Fairview, Neb.:
Though defeated, you are the great
est living American and the most be-
loved by those who know you. We
always stand ready to follow where
you lead"

RESUME OF VOTES ON
SENATE AMENDMENTS
Direct Primary Scheme Leads in Pop
ular Choice, and Capital Removal
and San Francisco Harbor
Acts Are Lost

! Counting of the returns shows tha
more voters than at first supposed tool
pains to vote on each of the proposed
| constitutional amendments.
The hard fight made for and agains
some of them left the probable success
matter of pure guess work, but last
night the following was regarded as a
fair approximate of what happened to
the various senate and assembly
propositions:
The following constitutional amend
ments appear to have carried:
No. 16-Relating to the length OF
legislative sessions, compensation OF
members of the legislature, and limit
ing expenses of employees of the senate
and house.
No. 29-Relating to state indebted
ness.
No. 31.-Relating to the extension of
the terms of existing corporations.
No. 32-Relating to limitation of the
expenses of the employees of the senate
and assembly.
No. 3-Reiating to the election of del
egates to conventions of political par
ties and providing for the direct nomin-
alton of candidates for public office
without convention at primary elec-
tions.
No. 2S-Relating to the approval and
return of bills by the governor and the
exercise of the veto power.
No. 33-Relating to the liability of
stockholders of a corporation or joint
stock association.
Amendment No. is still in doubt. 1t
relates to the giving of authority to the
legislature to fix the fees of certain
state and county officers.
Judging by the early canvass of Los
Angeles precincts the following pro-
posed constitutional amendments have
been defeated in Los Angeles;
No. 1-Relating to the separation of
state and local taxation and providing
for the taxation of public service and
other corporations for the benefit of the
state.
No. 14-Relating to the compensation
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-05

of state officers, especially the salary
of the lieutenant governor
No. 26-Relating to the assessment of
mortgage. deed of trust, contract or
other obligation by which debt is Sc
cured, and to taxes due upon such as
SeSsment.
No. 34-Relating to lotteries and to
fictitious sales of corporate stock.
No. 8-Relating to public schools, the
revenues of the state school fund, the
general state school tax, and providing
for the levying of a special state school
tax.
No. 24-Relating to the state board of
education, textbooks and county zrds
of education.

DESERTED, NOW LIES IN
HOSPITAL SERIOUSLY ILL
Young Mrs. SiegeI, with Eighteen
Months-oId Child, Rescued from
Dire Poverty by Former
Schoolmate

Mrs. A. A, Siegel, 10 years old, who
with her 1S-months-old baby. is said
to have been deserted by her husband,
is a patient at the county hospital and
is in a serious condition.
The unfortunate woman came to Los
Angeles with her husband some time
ago. They had money, but it was
swept away in an unfortunate business
venture. Then, it is alleged, he de-
serted her and left her penniless.
Mrs. Siegel was found by Miss Anna
Off, who went to school with the un-
fortunate woman in Denver. She and
her brother, John OFF. provided her
with the necessaries of life and looked
after her until she became so ill that
it was necessary to send her to the
hospital The whereabouts of the hus-
band are unknown.
