TYRRELL EXPLAINS DUTY
OF POLICE COMMISSION
Speaker at Federation Club Shows
the Board Is Responsible for
the Laxity of Law
Enforcement

''The Board of Police Commissioners
Their Duties and Their Relations to
the Morals of the City, was the subject
of F. G.. Tyrrell at the weekly luncheon
at the Federation club yesterday.
In the course of his address he said:
1.-THE police commissioners are chiefly
responsible for the fidelity or the lax
ity with which the municipal laws are
enforced and for the consequent peace,
order and happiness, or the crime. suf-
fering, loss and debauchery.
1T is impossible to exaggerate the
vital Importance to the city of we'll
organized, well-equipped and we'll
disciplined police force. Upon it de-
Ponds the safety of property and life,
and the maintenance to a great extent
of good morals. There are cities in
America in which the -olice depart
ment works hand In glove with Grim
inals; they are honeycombed with off,
cially protected vice and crime. While
petty criminals are arrested and pun
ished, the saloons openly defy the law;
disorderly houses ply their infamies
unmolested; gambling of all sorts Is
open and notorious, and the whole
horde of criminal and semi-criminal
parasites whose business 1t is to
pander to and prey upon the weak
nesses and follies of men, flourish and
fatten.
This criminal license and protected
anarchy is not for naught. 1t is not
simply because the officials happen to
be men of the same kind; 1t Is because
the criminals, big and little, pay for
protection, in various ways

MISS YAW TO SING
AT YACHT BENEFIT
GIVES SERVICES BECAUSE OF
HER INTEREST
Preparations for the Benefit Give
Promise of One of the Best
In History of the
City

Because she is interested in the trans
pacific yacht race and because she
wants to do ali she can to aid 1t, Ellen
Beach Yaw, the prima donna of inter-
national fame, has given her services
to the chamber of commerce committee
having in charge the benefit for the
yacht race fund.
This means that Miss Yaw will de.
vote a week to this enterprise and will
deprive herself of a contemplated trip
of recreation that she may give her
magnificent voice to the benefit.
This benefit is under the auspices OF
the chamber of commerce committee
of which Frank Virgins is secretary
and promises to be one of the biggest
successes in the history of the city II
will be at the Auditorium-the theater
beautiful-next Wednesday afternoon
and besides Miss Yaw many others o;
wide reputation will be on the program
Among them are Eugene Rowland, the
eminent violinist, late concert meister
of the Ysaye orchestra at Brussels
Belgium; Bruce Gordon Kingsley, the
celebrated organist Of this city; Miss
Olga Steeb, pianist. and Mrs. Toby
Newman, who recently appeared with
Miss Yaw with success.
In addition Manager Wyatt of the
Mason opera house will endeavor to
provide Henry Miller with one act OF
"The Great Divide" and this feature
alone is arousing great enthusiasm.
The transpacific yacht race is to be
the principal feature OF the San Pedro
harbor day celebration on the Fourth
of July, as 1t is to start from that port
on that date. The race will be to
Honolulu. The proceeds of the benefit
are to aid in promoting the success of
this race.
Seats for the benefit are now on sale
at the Auditorium box office at prices
ranging from so cents 60 So.

.SCHWAB STRIKE
IS RICH COPPER
GREENWATER DISTRICT FUR
NISHES NEW RUSH
THIRTY PER CENT ORE AT ONE
THOUSAND FEET
Discovery Made June I, but Kept
Secret Until Now - Means
Great New California
Industry

California is to have a gigantic cop
per mine added to its already big list
of mineral industries If the reports that
are percolating from the Greenwater
district, near Death valley in Inyo
county, are true.
For a week mining men have been
aroused over a reported strike In the
Greenwater. The reports at first used
the name of the Copper Queen property
at Greenwater, but, while the report
said the strike was important, details
were lacking.
Now comes the report that the shaft
sunk by the Charles M. Schwab inter-
ests on the Copper Queen No. 2, about
half a mile southwest of the town of
Greenwater struck an ore body be-
tween the $50 and 1000-foot levels and
that assays of this ore shows it to av-
erage 30 per cent in copper, with fair
showing of gold value.
The strike, 1t is said, was made about
June l, but was kept as quiet as pos
sible until the Schwab interests could
secure control of contiguous territory.
But it leaked out and a rush is making
for the district and there Is likelihood
of a furore being the result. Mining
men here who could not get satisfac-
tory reports by wire have Joined in the
stampede to the district.
e. ]. Donnelly, a mining man who
has interests In this district, talked to
a man yesterday who had just passed
through the district on his way from
Rhyolite. He said that when the
Greenwater junction was reached a
score of men got off the train to join
the rush and that automobiles and
stages were waiting for them.
Richness Expected
Much has been expected of the Green
water district, If great depth was ever
attempted. 1t has been a constant pre-
diction that great, rich copper ore
bodies would be found. On the Furnace
Creek property PATSY Clark has sunk
a shaft several hundred feet, probably
not so deep as the Schwab shaft, but
has not developed rich ore. There are
many undeveloped properties in the
district that bear just as good promise
1t is said, as the Copper Queen. Among
them are the Kempland, Furnace
Creek and Clark Consolidated proper
ties.
The Copper Queen properties were
bought from a man named Kunze, who
located the claims.

CHARGES PEDDLERS
TRIED TO KILL HIM
CONSTABLE ESCAPES, HORSE
PERISHES
Officer In Hollywood, Questioning
Young Vendors, Says They Sought
to Hurl Him in Front
Of Car

AS a result of what is alleged to
have been malicious mischief, If not
an attempt to kill Constable Will L.
Herman of Hollywood, which resulted
in the death of valuable saddle
horse about noon yesterday, one BLOCK
west of Western avenue, on santa
Monica avenue, a complaint probably
will be sworn out today against J. M
| Sizelove, Lawrence Sizelove, MS
brother, and II. Anderson, three horse
radish peddlers of Los Angeles.
While questioning the three ped
dlers, the Oldest of whom is only
about II years old, Constable Herman
claims one of them deliberately
reached from the seat of the wagon
they were driving, as a Colegrove car
approached on Western avenue, and
took hold of the bride of the horse
on which Herman was sitting and vio-
lently jerked 1t, soaring the horse and
causing it to lunge back into the Cole
grove car, which killed 1t almost in
stantly.
That Herman himself was not killed
seems marvellous, as in the excite
ment of the violent actions of the
horse, following the rough jerking Of
the bride, Herman had barely time
to leap from his saddle and came near
going down to his death with the ami
NAL under the wheels of the trolley.
mo blame attaches to the motor
man or conductor" said Mr.. Herman
yesterday. "Those boys had long been
acting suspiciously. They are hood
lums of the worst type. and l had
kept an eye on them, believing they
were crooks.
Yesterday I saw one of the men
leap from the seat of the wagon and
grab up box which someone had
dropped to the sidewalk. The box was
empty, but not knowing this I fol-
lowed them on my horse and demanded
to know what they had picked up.
"They laughed at me and became
insulting and defiant. I secured their
names and addresses and was parley-
ing with them when one of the boys,
observing the approach of the Holly
wood car, almost on the curve where
we were standing, deliberately reached
for my horses head and also slapped
him, I believe, on the neck, causing
the animal to lurch back into the car"
Mr.. Herman's home is at the corner
of Melrose Junction and Santa Mon
lea avenue. E. A. Lockwood, near
whose home the killing of the horse
occurred, is said to have been wit
ness to the affair.
The horse was a fine-looking ami
NAL. 1t was valued at about SITS.
