WEATHER WARNINGS

~ ONE magazines seek circulation by
opening their pages to wanton
~ attacks on American officials and
institutions The quasi-legitimate field
for undertaking having been explored,
the magazineers are now driven to ex-
treme methods in order to tickle the
public palate, jaded with sensational
ism and tired of revelations" dis
closures" and exposures" Elmer
son Houghs published attack on the
weather bureau is an example of en-
tirely unnecessary and uncalled-eor
magazine sensationalism.
Hough is free in the expression of his
own adverse opinion, but is unable to
quote from adverse criticisms made
by even a single representative of any
of the agricultural. commercial or ma
rine interests served by the weather
bureau.
The reason why he is not able to
make such quotations is the best Of
reasons. There are none. Hough is
grossly in error when he says the
weather bureau failed to forecast the
Galveston storm and the tempest in
which the ship Portland was wrecked.
There is plenty of evidence which
proves, in fiat contradiction of Hough's
charges, that the bureau gave ample
warning of the coming of the Calves
ton storm, with the result that the
Gulf of Mexico was practically cleared
Of vessels and there was no loss of life
or property in the open sea.
AS the newspapers stated at the
time, the Inflated Portland left Bos-
ton harbor against the protest of
the Boston weather bureau, personally
delivered to the captain and in the
face of storm signals which had been
flying for many hours along the New
England coast Mr.. Hough, with aston
ishing recklessness, says the "storm
signals went up after the storm had
begun" But a newspaper which
chronicled the event made this COM
ment: "In leaving Boston Saturday
night the captain of the Portland took
chances which no man in his position
had a right to take. From a source
that warranted implicit belief he, like
every other captain on the Atlantic
coast, had received warning that a
storm of exceptional severity would
strike him as soon as he reached open
water, and he knew that his steamer,
although we'll built and comparatively
new. was of a type much, better de-
ant e1,o /,
than for encountering winter gales on
as dangerous a coast as there is in the
world. Despite all this. and, accord
ing to his employers. in defiance of ex-
plicit orders, he steamed out into the
gathering tempest"
In California the weather bureau
should find a host of sturdy champions
and grateful friends, because in this
state its work has been of great prac-
tical and economical benefit. BY adj
vising orange growers of impending
frost it has rendered a notable service
to an important California industry,
and for this service all Californians
should be grateful.
In these modern days of scientific
wonders the weather bureau, working
in conjunction with a wireless teleg-
raphy service, will to a remarkable de-
gree increase the chances of safety of
all those who go down to the sea in
ships. Wireless warning of impending
storms will reach all vessels equipped
with receiving apparatus, and seldom
or never will ship captain be caught
unawares by tempest or hurricane.

HARMONIOUS EFFICIENCY
os ANGELES has reason to con-

OS ANGELES has reason to con-
gratulate itself over the pleasant
fact that for the first time in a
number of years the city prosecutors
office and the police department are
working together in perfect harmony
for the good of the city. It should be
said. In justice to the prosecuting
branch of the municipal government.
that the officials connected with 1t have
wished to enforce the laws, but until
recently have been hampered by Off
eials in the police department who did
not display any marked willingness to
second the best efforts of the prose-
cutor's office with the best efforts of
the police department.
Conditions indeed existed which
would have led observers to infer the
police and prosecuting departments of
the city were acting at cross purposes.
The mutual good feeling and good
understanding now prevailing augur
well for the future of Los Angeles,
With two excellent citizens and COM
petent officials like Chief Dishman and
Mr.. Eddie in accord the best interests
of the city will be looked out for.
There is one reform which might
with advantages be adopted. For the
use Of the city prosecutors office there
should be a secret service fund. Each
month an allowance of money should be
set aside to enable the office to conduct
Investigations which can be handled
and managed successfully only by
members of that office itself. In many
cases specialists would be employed
and their work would be altogether out
side of the scope of ordinary police or
detective duty. The secret service ap-
preparation would be available in con-
nection with the enforcement of the
health ordinance, the license ordinance,
and any other regulation the neglect of
which may affect the public welfare.
Since official conditions have been
improved, and are now highly salts
factory, it is important that advantage
should be taken of the Improvement, |
and that Los Angeles should get the
full benefit Of 1t. In order to bring |
about this result. a sufficient fund of
the character we nave liiuiNeAeSu =" 80
solutely necessary, and TO delay the
provision of such fund is to take
chances.
With every thousand addition to our
population there is a definite addition
to official cares and responsibilities, and
offices ought to be thorough
ly well prepared to live up to the fun
extent of their responsibilities, or, N
other words, should be completely and
unquestionably efficient.

SCHOOL CENSUS

TIGURES at hand, along with what
is accepted as an accurate estl-
II mate for the only ward in which
the exact totals cannot yet be obtained,
show there are in Los Angeles 46,94S
children of school age. In addition,
there are 14,49S under the age of B
years, bringing the total child popula-
ton up to 61.446. The total population
of Los Angeles has passed the 100000
mark, and is probably about 100000.
This is a good start for Greater Los An
geles, which will be a city of million
inhabitants while the twentieth CEN
tury is still young.

ANSWERS ATTACK MADE
AGAINST sPlRITUALISM

LOS ANGELES, May 6.-[Editor
Herald: If it be permissible to butt
into another mans argument beg
leave to differ with the argument
brought against spiritualism by Mr.
Sprading. For a considerable time he
has appeared before the public as
demoIisher of popular idols Orthodox
Christianity, Christian Science, Marx
ian Socialism and Spiritualism have
been felled to the ground by his an
archistic fist, and by this time he must
have more scalps on his belt than any
other Liberal club member No doubt
but what Mr.. Sprading is smiling
around for new game elsewhere. But
some of us won't give up yet.
His argument against Spiritualism
is that there is fraud associated with
it; that the phenomena of mediums
can be duplicated, and that certain
scientific men are against it. Well, If

 In reports of poisoning, the victims are almost invariably well cared for dogs, while the worthless CUTS sell dom die.

 ELOPERS CAPTURED - Sheriff Hayden yesterday received a tele- gram from the sheriff of Merced county California, thanking him for his assistance in the capture of Will Clanton and Myrtle Lowrie. The couple had spent part of their time during the past month in Phoenix and it was upon the investigation of the local officers that they were traced to Prescott where they were arrested and later taken in charge by the California officer. Clanton de- serted his wife in Merced on Febru- ary 18th, leaving with Myrtle Lowrie who is his sister-in- law They ar rived in Phoenix where the woman was taken sick and went to the hospital While there she wrote to

 the California officers their first clue as to the whereabouts of the couple After leaving the hospital and joining
 Clanton, the couple lived at the Kersting house on South Center and afterward at the Nordrach.

Two pet cats in the same neighbor hood suffered the same fate and not long ago a valuable dog be- longing to Mark Martinez, next door, became a victim of poison.
