INCREASE OF RATES
WILL WORK INJUSTICE
Manager of Los Angeles Traffic
Bureau Says Southern California
Will Be Injured by Rail-
roads Action

Manager F. p. Gregson of the Los
Angeles traffic bureau is authority for
the statement that if transcontinental
roads raise rates to Los Angeles and
leave the rates to New Mexico, Ari-
iona and other interior points the same
great injustice will be done Los An
geles and Southern California.
Gregson, who was formerly with w.
G. Barnwell in the general freight Of
flee of the Santa Fe, says that, while
the railroads are considering raising
freight rates again. it should not be
forgotten that in 1904 a considerable
raise was made in transcontinental
rates.
Among those articles on which rates
were raised at that time he cited struc-
tural iron, raised 10 cents a hundred
pounds; drugs and chemicals, Is cents;
blankets, 20 cents; some dry goods, 20
cents; electrical and other machinery
was raised from slips to $1.40 hun
dred, boots and shoes from 81 to 1925
The last affects the jobber and retail
buyer, not the consumer.
"As a rule,' said Manager Gregson,
"jobbers are not interested vitality in
changes in rates, provided differentials
are maintained as against other points,
Los Angeles business men are not OPP
posed to the railroads, and as long as
treated fairly they will maintain the
same attitude toward the roads"

TRINITY METHODISTS TO
ERECT 100000 CHURCH
Property Held at Present and Located
Near Ninth Street Will Be Sold.
Proceeds for New
Building

A meeting of the official board of
the Trinity Methodist church, South,
will be held this evening to complete
the plans for the new 100000 church
building which is contemplated by that
congregation.
The new church will be located in
the district bounded by Ninth and
Pico streets and Grand avenue and
Figueroa street, the definite location
not having been decided. The present
church property on Grand avenue.
near Ninth will be held for some time
until a better price can be secured,
when it will be sold and the money
applied on the new church building.
Trinity church was organized thirty
five years ago and had it's first church
on Broadway near Fifth. It's present
location has been occupied the past
fifteen .'ears and during that time has
greatly increased in value. Rev. j. j.
Pritchett, the pastor came here eight
cen months ago from Kansas City,
succeeding Rev. e. P. Ryland.
Nothing definite has been decided by
the official board with the exception
that there is to be a new church, and
that it is to cost not less than 100000.

CLERK WITH PISTOL
ROUTSTWO BURGLARS
YEGGMEN ATTEMPT TO ROB
WATTS POSTOFFICE
EmpIoye of Store Is Aroused from
Sleep, Seizes Revolver and
Fires on the In
truders

Two yeggmen attempted to rob the
Watts postoffice early yesterday morn
ing, but We're frightened off by three
shots from the revolver of o. J. La
Bait, clerk in the general store of
w. M. Kellogg, in which the postoffice
is situated.
La Bait, who sleeps in the store, was
awakened at o'clock by the breaking
of glass in a.rear window He reached
for his revolver and in his stocking
feet stole softly in the direction of
the sound. Silhouetted against the
window, with one arm reaching
through the broken pane in an effort
to reach the latch, was the form of
one of the yeggmen; further back in
the shadow second man stood, evil
IDENTIFY playing the part of lookout.
La Bait fired twice at the man in
the window, who fell silently to the
ground. When the clerk ran to the
window and looked out neither man
was in sight. 1t is thought that the
wounded man was assisted away by
his comrade, for La Bait is certain he
hit him.
Later in the day it was learned that
on Sunday night two strangers ap-
peared in Watts There is no hotel in
the place, so in their quest for lodg-
ings they were taken in at the home
of the village blacksmith. They said
they wished to depart at an early hour
and mentioned o'clock as the time
at which they would like to be called.
When the blacksmith's wife knocked
on their door at that hour it was
found they had already left. 1t is
thought that the two strangers and
the yeggmen are the same. An excel
lnt, I,ar
nished the police at Los Angeles for
use in case they come to the city. The
sheriff was also notified and he sent a
deputy to the place.

dangerous than the demagogtc appeals
of professional agitators to class hatred.
Our national conscience, l firmly be-
lieve, has been awakened. We Will not
and cannot go back to the conditions
which tolerated wrongdoing. Neither
can we afford to be led astray by those
who would embark us in a visionary
and twisted crusade against corpora
lions and all business methods. We
should address ourselves to the faithful
and honest observance of laws and of
civic righteousness. The welfare of all
of us can best be obtained by striving
for a policy which will promote the well
fare of each of US. We must all CO.
operate in order that benefit may be
derived by the entire nation.
Good laws make good government.
but laws are of no value unless vital
lied by the people who made them.
Our recent legislation has been good,
and it Is to the interest of the entire
country, and especially of the business
interests, that it shall be enforced.
Such further legislation as is required
is merely building upon the broad
foundation that has been laid. 1t con-
ceals no menace to business any more
than does that legislation which has
already been enacted. There is no need
of agitation concerning it; there is no
excuse for demagogic excitement about

the real rights of property as 1t is to
conserve the real rights of labor. This
we have done in the past, and this we
OF ght to do in the future.
1.-THE country realizes that confidence
is not a matter of law. 1t Is an in
tangible something that exists in the
relations of men. Those relations have
been strengthened in our country by the
economic reforms that have been In
stituted. Therefore we are more power
Jul than we ever have been. SO far as
the present administration is concerned
1t will continue unchanged. The policy
of safeguarding the rights of all and
of embracing every possible and legiti-
mate means to advance the welfare
and prosperity of our country.
Let there be no misunderstanding
about this. The business and CONNER
cial interests of the country, to be
prosperous in an enduring sense, must
be administered honestly. With occa-
sional exceptions they have been and
are now so administered. AS you have
we'll said, wherever there is evidence of
dishonesty 1t must be pursued relent-
lessly and punished, but, having thus
moved forward to high plane of bust
ness integrity and on that plane built
wisely. let no man seize the moment
when we have as a nations pillorized
the real malefactors to say that all
American business men, or even a con-
siderable number of them, are male
factors. l welcome your work and
shall be glad to cooperate with you in
any effort to establish prosperity on

Neighborhood Ethics

These are public concerns under the
province of the authorities. But there
are exasperating noises which fall I'M
der neighborhood ethics. Among these
the most prominent and annoying are
the cats which are allowed to prowl all
day and often all night from house
to house and from roof to roof of cot
tages, where they dance their rat-tat-
too, shrek their fierce caterwauling,
rob the nervous of sleep and the nests
of trusting birds; the walls also of thu
mother COW, bereft of her nursing.
which walls echo dolefully from block
to block, and which, 1t is said, may
be averted by the separation of mother
and calf at the first without harm to
either and probably without the con-
seriousness on their part that either is
defrauded.
The permitted and pernicious. noises
of young boys on the street, their cat
calls, piercing whistles and boisterous
shouts, are annoyances that violate
all rules of peace and good will to
neighbors and should not be allowed.
This passion for noise can be traced
doubtless to the wild ancestors of the
race-to its childhood-when the
higher resources for eye and ear were
undeveloped, and it still survives in
those who delight in the childish eX-
clCe1ne1CS OIL war uTulIlSs DdSplpeS, Hlc
works and all the other "sports" of
our Fourth of July and other festivals.
This passion is cultivated by the
parental excuse for boisterous street
conduct that "boys will be boys" until
they become obHvious to the needs and
comforts of the invalid and the aged
and have been heard to defy the police
by the threat: "My father is rich;
he'll get me off," A well hammered,
thoughtful boy is an exception and a
treasure beyond price in ones neigh
borhood-a fine object lesson, model
to his fellows and credit to his
parents
1t is not too much to claim that the
seeds of anarchy, of defiant self asser-
ton are thus sown in the fertile soil
of the young soul and are reinforced
by the prevalent example of their eld-
ers in street and office Against these
potent influences the moral instruc-
ton of the school and the pulpit make
slow and spasmodic Roadway. An
ounce of example is worth, on this
practical line, far more than many
pounds of precept.
May we soon hail the day when this
patent fact shall be universally recog-
nizedi

This is a memorable occasion for all

The building, the cornerstone of which
we lay today, emphasizes by its exist
ence the growing sense of solidarity of
interest and aspiration among all the

recognition of the need to knit ever
closer together all the republics of the
western hemisphere, through the kindly
bonds of mutual justice, good will and
sympathetic comprehension.
"At the outset, on behalf of all of us
l wish to thank Mr.. Carnegie for his
generous gift-a gift to all the nations
of the New World and therefore pre-
eminently fitting as coming from one
who has so sincerely striven for the
cause of peace among nations; for while
we have yet long path to tread before
we can speak with any certainty of the
day when wars shall cease from the
earth, we of this western hemisphere,
by movements such as that symbolized
by this building, have taken great
strides toward securing permanent
peace among ourselves.
