There was no truth, however. in the

pressed himself TO the effect that he

dictated, and he saw no good reason
why he should back down at this or at
any other time.
Mayor Bransford said that the last
time he had seen Councilmen Martin

the attitude assumed by them last

the lofty peaks and ranges possessed
wonderful charm for him. Governor
Swanson noted specially the agricultu-
raj development of the far west. which
is far beyond his expectations, the
great fields of alfalfa catching his
observing eye very quickly. He said
the organ recital was II revelation Ia
him. He had heard nothing like II
i'm the old country. Both the scope and
quality OF the BIthA Ailh
abilities OF the organism, Prof Nc
Clellan, and the character of the pro-
gram produced a deep impression upon
the distinguished visitor and his WIG.
When asked as to what he thought
of the political outlook, Governor swan
son said the convention was one or the
most hormonius and altogether saiisfae-
tory national conventions he had ever
attended. COL Bryan IL sure TO be tri-

OCEAN PARK, March 6,-Mayor
George M. Jones today threw down the
Government ticket by reiterating his
doubts that Kinney Is sincere in his
promises to expend half million dol
lars in building the big hotel on Wind

house on the ocean front, and Offering
to give all his support to the Good Cow
eminent ticket and contribute $4,000
in cash to Kinney If the latter will give
a bond to keep his word about the
promised improvements.
my partner, Mr.. Fraser, and myself
will not only give Kinney $4,000 in
cash, but we will lend our entire sup
port to the Good Government ticket
for trustees If Abbot Kinney will exc
cute a bond to build the bath house
and big hotel which are being held out
as a bait to catch beach voters" said
Mayor Jones.
Santa Monica bay is big enough for
all of us. It's future, commercially and
as a pleasure resort, cannot be over
estimated. l have assurances from
railroad authorities which cannot be
disputed that make it certain to my
mind that in five years from now we
can walk on stone Walks GEAR from Tue

Want Square Deal
'All Fraser and Jones want is the
square deal. The Progressive party

man stand up and declare that such
men as Charles Damerel. M. r. King,
A. e. Meiggs, DR.. J. b. Sands and Mr..
Royston are mere tools of mine or any
one else?
IF we fight Abbot Kinney it is be-
cause he has made us believe he is In
sincere, and If placed in control of the
beach towns will sacrifice every inter-
est outside his own. We have no way
of Judging the future but by the past.

HERO OF MUKDEN
LIKES CALIFORNIA
TELLS WHY GENERAL STOESSEL
WAS FORCED TO TRIAL
Surrender of Port Arthur Threw
Sixty Thousand Japanese Against
Mukden, Routing Rus
SLAMS There

AS plain Michael Sievers a distin-
guished young Russian is spending a
month incognito in Los Angeles pick
ing up information that will enable him
to launch in the career his family has
set out for him, that of a merchant
prince. His home is in st. Petersburg,
and he has spent year in the United
States.
Sievers comes of a military lineage,
but avoids all reference to his family
history, which is distinguished in the
annals of the car.
Sievers at the age of 10 serving as
second lieutenant in the Fifty-second
Nejinsky dragons, with his squadron
formed the bodyguard for General Bill
derling, the courageous Russian COM
mander. Sievers' troop charged repeat
eddy into forest lined with Japanese,
to cover the retreat of the Russian in
fantry toward Mukden.
General StoessePs surrender really
turned $4,000 fresh Japanese against our
columns fighting near lMukden," said
Sievers. for with Port Arthur capitu-
lated there was no need of big army
to surround 1t. The besiegers were
rushed to Mukden at once.
"Stoessel's trial therefore was not so
much in surrendering fortress which
everybody acknowledges he held brave
ly for year against odds. but by yield
ing he sent inevitable defeat to the
thousands at Mukden. There were
100000 men engaged in that dreadful
battle"
Sievers says California is most de-
lightful country for tourists, and he
took special interest in visiting all the
missions in Southern California.

STRANGE FOSSILS FOUND
IN OPENING OIL FIELD
Route of Pipe Line to Santa Monica
Surveyed-Sea Relics Are
Discovered Three Thou

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, March "a party
of surveyors are engaged in mapping
route for an oil pipe line from the
new fields In the vicinity OF Russell
valley, west of Calabasas peak, and
adjoining the Malibu ranch on the
north to the sea.
So confident are the oil promoters of
a big flow that the survey is being
made for the shortest line for deliver
ing the oil direct at the seaboard.
The development of the oil field is
bringing many interesting things to
light regarding the geological forma-
ton of the Santa Monica range. 1t
has long been claimed that the Santa
Monica range was upheaved long be-
fore the Sierra Madres
On the summit of a high peak near
the Calabasas a giant fossil turtle has
been discovered. The fossil is six feet
long and nearly four feet across. In
the same vicinity are beds of petrified
clans of immense size.
Countless other fossils, now over 5000
feet above tide level, indicate the
great age of the Santa Monica range.
