YOUR INSURANCE
PREMIUM

Presents itself for attention
with strict regularity and often
finds you unprepared to meet
it. The amount divided into
monthly portions does not ap-
pear so formidable. Why not
make monthly payments2 You
cannot do this direct to the
Insurance Company, but you
can deposit a sum with US
equal to these payments and
at the premium periods pay by
check on US. If you wish to
adopt this plan, we will be
very willing to accommodate
you.

No JoKE-.wHoopINen was NEEDED.

w HILE the Hon. L. Irving Handy was
making the rafters Of the Dover Opera
House fear for their safety yesterday, because Of
the tremendous volume Of his eloquence, one
delegate bravey shouted "Whoop her up" And
there was no Joke about that advice. It was not
intended as humor. If ever the sails Of a ship
needed wind TO start it moving, the Democratic
ship at Dover was. for the moment in that condi-
ton yesterday afternoon. And Mr.. Handy sup
piled the needed wind
We have heard him on different occasions,
under many conditions but we have never heard
such "whoopng' before, not even from Handy.
Handy was in oratorical motion and locomotion.
If the ship was to drift on a rock, it was not TO
be the massive pilots fault.
To Handy and ninety-nine per cent OF the
Others the letter from Judge Cray was a pro-
found secret until the time it was sprung. There
had not been a whisper that the judge was to re-
peat the throwing Of a bombshell, and the silence
was painful until broken by Handy The queer
est part Of it was that most Of the Kent and Sus-
sex delegates were as silent after Handy had
~whooped' as before he had "whooped." OF
course il was different in the New Castle end Of
the hall

TWO-NUMBER SYSTEM
is TO BE INSTALLED
Pasadena and Los Angeles viii Be
Joined by Wires in Such Way
That Connections Can Be
Made Quickly

A system of communication between
Los Angeles and Pasadena without the
aid of the long distance department of
the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company was announced yesterday by
c.. NJ. Seeley, division superintendent.
Mr.. Seeley declares that the new sys-
tenn, which is known technically as the
tWo-number system, will put Los An
geles and Pasadena, telephonically, in
as close touch as different parts of Los
Angeles.
The new system will be in effect on
and after Friday, March 20, prepara-
tions for installing it having been in
course of preparation for several weeks
under supervision of Division Superin-
tendent Seeley and of o. Cole, jr., of the
traffic department of the company in
San Francisco.
By the two number system, accord
ing to Mr.. Seeley, it is necessary only
to look up the number desired, and tell
it to the local operator speaking the
word Pasadena Cor Los Angeles, as the
case may be- before giving the prefix
and number, thus: Hello, central, give
me Pasadena Main 7-4-7." The local
operator will then Immediately connect
the subscriber with the Pasadena office
and the Pasadena subscriber will an

ing only few seconds longer than
when a call is made from one part of
Los Angeles to another.
1--WE expect the system to prove the
most popular innovation the company
has ever made" said Mr.. Seeley. 1.-THE
two-number method was recently in
stalled for use between San Francisco
and Oakland and has made a decided
hit. The new system means that Pasa-
dena and Los Angeles, already con-

WILL TELL OF THE
CITIES OF THE DEAD
Lecturer Prepares an Interesting Ad-
dress, Which Will Be Delivered
at Simpson Auditorium
Tonight

It is new lecture which Professor
Baumgardt will give to the public this
evening at Simpson auditorium, and
to those who have heard a portion of
the Baumgardt series before they will
find this one no less interesting than
those which have preceded it.
Each one of the illustrations and the
corresponding descriptive matter forms
a link in a chain of educational in
Struction and amusement.
The subject for this evening, which
is the second of, the travel series of
the new university course, given at
Simpson auditorium is Pompeii and
Herculaneum, the cities Of the dead,
and which is one of the most inter-
esting of experiences, whether visited
on a trip abroad or in these comfort
able easy chair Journeys on which Mr..
Baumgardt takes you.
1t is difficult to realize that the
speaker in walking the streets of these
old unearthed cities to secure the ma
terial with which to interest his audi
tors was treading the same pavements
that were in use in these places nearly
1000 years ago; that the photographs
years before the present time. Pompeii
was destroyed by ashes from Vesuvius;
Herculaneum was buried under a river
of lava mud thirty feet in depth. All
of this data, descriptive matter and
connecting links will be given by the
speaker.
This is the first presentation of this
subject by Professor Baumgardt in Los

NE w WA TER
COMMISSIONERS
COUNCIL PROMPTLY CONFIRMS
APPOINTMENT
PROMINENT DEMOCRAT GETS
BAKERS PLACE
Appointee Is Legal Authority on
Water Questions and Has Served
in Many Positions of
Trust

The city council yesterday ratified
Vale to the position of water commits
sioner to succeed Fred L. Baker, presi-
dent of the Baker iron works, whose
term has expired.
Those near to the administration say
that eventually Senator Del Vale will
be chairman of the board.
The new commissioner is an authority
on questions involving water supply.
He assisted City Attorney Godfrey in
preparing the brief for the supreme
court in the case involving the rights of
Los Angeles to the waters of the Los
Angeles river.
AZ the extra session of the senate he
had charge of all the water bills, was
prominent in the Wright legislation
and has since been legal adviser in
many water cases. He is also in pos
session of many original maps of ,reat
value in water questions.
Raised in California
Aside from being one of the best
known attorneys in California, Senator
Del Vale is widely known because his
family owns Camulos, the country seat
where Helen Hunt Jackson obtained the
plot and color for her famous story
Ramona"
Senator Del Vale was born in 1854,
and was educated mainly at st. Vim
cents college, Los Angeles. and Santa
Clara college, graduating shortly after
his friend Senator White in 1873. He
then studied law in the Office of Winans
& Belknap, San Francisco and after
being admitted to the bar returned to
his native city to practice in 1877.
Senator Del Vale is one of the stall
warts of the Democratic party, and
politically his story is stirring one.
He was a candidate for governor, lieu
tenant governor and congressman.
In the fall of 1873 he was elected to
the assembly, serving during the 1880
session. He also served in the January
March session of 1881 and at the extra
session in April and May. At the next
session ne was elected to the senate.
as president pro tenn in March~May,
1884
AS Chairman and Elector
He was a candidate for congress, but
after a creditable run was defeated by
H. II. Markham. He was unanimously
elected chairman of the state Demo-
cratic convention which met in Los
Angeles on May Is, 1885, He also
served as chairman of the state con-
vention which in 1894 nominated James
H. Budd for governor.
In 1900 he was a delegate to the Kan
sas City convention which nominated
Bryan. He was also an elector for the
state on the Hancock ticket, receiving
the highest votes
At one time, under the Cleveland re-
gime, his friends pushed his name for
minister to Mexico, but he withdrew
when former Governor Gray entered
the list The place of minister to Chill
was rendered him by Secretary of State
Gresham, but it was declined.
Senator Del Vale is we'll known as a
public speaker In 1884, at the Mon
terey centennial of Father Sierra
death, he was the orator of the day.
The restoration of the mission of ST.
Carmel was another notable occasion
when he spoke. In recent years an eX-
tensive law practice has kept the dis
to the courts and his office.

NEW CONTEMPT CITATION
MADE BY JUDGE WELLBORN
Attorney for East Liverpool Firm

trict court yesterday, citing the follow
ing officials of the California Develop
ment company for contempt OF court
Epes Randolph, president; H. I. Corey,
general manager. and F. C. Harmann,
superintendent.
Attorney w. J. Hunsaker of the East
Liverpool Salt company asked that
this action be brought against the
California Development company, since
he alleges that the latter company has
disregarded the courts injunction re-
straining it from allowing it's waste
water to flow into the Salton sea.
The former contempt order of Judge
Wellborn was dismissed several weeks
ago, as he thought that through an
appeal he had lost Jurisdiction--al-
though a higher court has decreed
otherwise since then. The present ac-
tion. however, is taken as an additional
safeguard.
