RESPONDENT YOUNG MAN
ENDS LIFE WITH GAS
my Last Cent" Says Youth as he
Pays Room Rent, and Little
Later LandIady Finds
Dead Body

Dependency on account OF lack OF
funds and employment Is assigned as
the reason for the suicide OF young
man supposed to be Charles Adams,
whose body was found in the rooming
house at 629 South Hill street shortly
after noon yesterday.
Late Friday night the young man
entered the lodging house and asked
for q room. One was shown him ana
he paid fifty cents for 1t, at the time
remarking 1t was the last money ne
had. He laughed when he made the
remark and the attendant supposed he
was joking.
He did not arise yesterday morning
and shortly after noon the landlady or
the house decided she would investt-
gate. Repeated knockings on the door
failed to bring a response, and at last
entrance was forced. When the land
lady entered the room she found the
body of the young man lying on the
bed, with the gas flowing from an
open jet.
The police and coroner were notihed
and officers were sent to investigate.
They found meal ticket on restau-
rant, partly used, in one of the pockets
of the young mans coat, but nothing
else of value was found. On the back
of the ticket was the name Charles
Adams, and In view of this the police
believe it was the young mans name.
The body was taken to Bresee
Brothers undertaking parlors at tne
instructions of the coroner and an IN
quest will be held there Monday.

OPPOSE HOLDING
ELECTION NOW
COUNTY GOOD ROADS ADV0-
Gates MEET
PLAN TO BALLOT NEXT DE-
GENDER
Members of Association Wish to Know
Personnel of Incoming Board OF
Supervisors Before intrust-
ing Money to Them

A strong opposition to calling imme-
diately the 100000 bond election for
the building of good roads in Los An
geles county was manifest at the after
noon session of the representatives of
the twenty-five sixth class cities of
the county, who held an all-day ses-
sion in the Chamber of Commerce
building yesterday.
The opinion expressed by many of
the delegates was emphatic against
the proposition of holding the election
this summer, and by vote of ten to
three-a number being absent when
the ballot was taken-it was resolved
the election be postponed until De-
cember.
A. c. Weeks, chairman of the AL
hambra board of trustees who was a
prime worker in the interest of the
invitation was extended to the high
way commission and to the executive
committee of the Good Roads asso-
citation to attend the conference.
1t was evident most of those pres
ent had come without any tangible
idea of what the cities they repre-
sented wanted, and due to this fact
the election was delayed, so far as it
was the sense of the conference, until
all the cities could post themselves
more thoroughly in the matter Chair
man Daggett of the highway commits
sion briefly reviewed the work so far
done and said the present estimates

AT THE HOTELS
GREAT FUTURE FOR ARIZONA,
SAYS PHOENIX PUBLISHER

That Arizona grows sweeter and
jucier oranges than those raised in
Southern California was the statement
and general manager of the Arizona
Gazette, published in Phoenix, when
seen at the Hotel Westminster yester-
day. Mr.. Akers said
II do not wish to disparage California
fruit, but those who are familiar with
the oranges of both states yield the
palm to Arizona. The fruit grown in
the Salt River valley has flavor and
sweetness that is lacking in the Cali
fornia orange. The intense heat of an
Arizona summer and the absence of
frost in the winter is, think, RESPONSE
BILE for the difference. In the same way
rose grown in Los Angeles is large
and beautiful, but lacks the fragrance
of the roses found in Phoenix garden.
1.-THE valley of the Salt river, in
which the capital of the territory lies,
is rapidly being transformed from arid
land into a veritable garden of Hes
perides. 1t will be the Eden of the
southwest. In two years the great dam
at Roosevelt will be completed, forming
the largest reservoir In the world. The
long and three wide, and will contain
enough water to cover three million
acres one foot deep.
is Great Work
1T is the greatest piece of work ever
undertaken by the government reclama-
ton service. The great diversion dam
at Granite reef, over which the water
flowed for the first time week ago
Saturday, is but part of the whole
system of irrigation"
Mr. Akers said that while Arizona
fruit is shipped east, some of the money
received for 1t is spent in Los Angeles.
Arizona looks to Los Angeles as its
natural source of supply.
when the Arizona & California
line is completed-it lacks about loo
miles now-it will prove of great benefit
to shippers and travellers, as it will be q
direct line between Los Angeles and
| Phoenix. And / wish to say, and say

| ton, that the first seventy-five miles
