HEAD OF ARMY
INSPECTS PORT
GENERAL BELL VISITS HARB0R
AT SAN PEDRO
CHIEF OF MILITARY DEPARTMENT
is ENTHUSIASTIC
Strategic Importance of Los Angeles
Front and Necessity for Ade-
quate Fortifications Is
Fully Realized

General ]. Franklin Bell, head of the
United States army, is another dlStin-
guished visitor to the harbor who is
enthusiastic over It's possibilities. He
follows General Arthur Murray, head
of the coast artillery; General w. L.
Marshall, chief of the corps of engi-
neers, and Forester Clifford Einchot, all
of whom have expressed their admira-
ton of the harbor possibilities. Within
a few weeks President Taft and two
members of his cabinet will also inspect
the harbor.
General Bell realizes fully the
strategic Importance of San Pedro and
the necessity for adequate fortifications,
and so expressed himself after his in
spection of the sites proposed for the
fortifications at the harbor. If his in
terest is a criterion it means he favors
not only the expenditure of $6,000,000
but provision for a larger sum in
future.
That this is possible is indicated by
the supposition that the government
wants not only all of the Ocean View
tract and the Point Firnin tract, south
of Thirty-eighth street, b, also large
acreage on the hill outside the city
limits.
General Bell, accompanied by General
A. r, Chaffee, Lieutenant Charles T..
Leeds. President Willis H. Booth of
the Los Angeles chamber of commerce
and City Engineer Hamlin, arrived at
the harbor at 10 O'clock yesterday
in a special car and took an automo-
bile to Point Firmin
After a complete inspection of lands
on the mesa and on the hills, the party
returned to the California club, where
lunch was served and General Bell met
number of Los Angeles citizens. IN
til he left for San Diego on the night
train, General Bell was the guest of
General Chaffee.

UNCLE OF DEP0SED SHAH
IS FORBIDDEN TO RETURN
Rich Persian Receives Notice He Is
Not Wanted, Although His
Sons May Go Back

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 1O.-Zul-es-
Sultansh, the deposed shah's uncle,
and reputed to be the richest Persian
in the world, set out from Vienna on
the news of the establishment of the
new regime at Teheran intending to
return to his estates. peremptory
order, however, reached him at Odessa
from the governing committee in the
Persian capital that he is not to enter
Persian territory, although any of his
thirty-four sons is free to return.
There is much speculation as to how
he will take this ban pronounced
against him, as he has many truculent
adherents in Persia. His way of treat
ing his private enemies is we'll known
throughout the country. He had them
stripped and basted with honey, then
tied to trees in his sunny gardens until
they were stung to death. He is a
sworn enemy of the Constitutionalists
and all the new administration at
Teheran.

ANOTHER DIAMOND FIELD
FOUND IN SOUTH AFRICA
Discoveries Made North of Hottentot
Bay Cause of Great Ex-
citement

JOHANNESBURG,S Sept. 10.-Accord-
ing to a dispatch from German South
west Africa, the discovery Of diamonds
north of Hottentot bay and Franzhen-
rique bay has caused great excitement
in Che territory. Syndicates are being
formed with capitals varying from
$2500 to $4,000 to peg fields.
Two syndicates went to the expense
of chartering steamers to land few
tons of cargo and barrels of water. T.
is reported on good authority that one
syndicate, in trying small wash,
found ten diamonds in one seine, and
that another syndicate found a stone
weighing one and one-half carats.
The ground between Osterkliffe and
Sylvia Hill Is much the same as that
at Pooma, and it is expected to yield
good -sized stones. Unfortunately,
there is not a large extent of country,
and the few lucky prospectors who
arrived there first are congratulating
themselves on securing some of the
first claims in German Southwest

GOLDFIELD PREPARES
PROGRAM FOR GUESTS

Information received at the Los An
geles chamber of mines indicates that
there will be something doing every
minute of the time during the coming
session of the American Mining con-
gress at Goldfeld, and particularly
from the time the chamber of mines
special pulls out of Los Angeles until
it leaves Goldfield at o'clock Sunday
morning for Tonopah.
Goldfield is preparing a varied and
exciting program for the entertainment
of visitors on California day, Saturday,
October 2. Every automobile in the
town has been secured for trips to the
mines; in the afternoon a big rock
drilling match will be held, and the
evening will be devoted to a desert
mardi gras. to be followed by ball,
to which the elite of the camp will be
invited.
The session of the congress will be
particularly interesting and instructive.
The star attractions include James j.
Hill of the Great Northern, John Hays
Hammond, Sir Mereton Frewen, SEN
ator Hepburn, the able exponent of
the department of mines and mining,
Senator Smoot of Utah. all of whom

desire will be given an opportunity to
visit and inspect the famous Hampton
stope in the Combination mine, and
others equally notable in the Mohawk
and Florence. The big mill of the
Goldfeld Consolidated will be another
of the show places.
The special train Of the Los Angeles
chamber of mines will leave Friday,

will be telephoned to members from
the central office of the club, the build
ing permits and other possibilities will
be watched and analysed and oppor-
tunities will be looked up in other
ways. After establishing this as a
local influence, the club will extend it's
activity in looking out for trade in
Southern California, and later, as the
harbor develops possibilities, in foreign
markets.
The aeroplane contests which come to
America next year through the winning
of the Gordon Bennett trophy at
Rheims by Glenn Curtiss, may be held
in the winter If assigned to Los An
geles. This is so revolutionary a prop
osition that it is without precedent, for
even the flights made at Pau, in South
ern France, by Wilbur Wright last win
ter were extremely uncomfortable at
times
At Los Angeles, however, it has been
demonstrated by ballooning that con-
ditions can be obtained which are ideal.
To settle question of possibility of as
signing the contests at a winter date
Dick Ferris last night telegraphed the
following inquiry to the Aero Club of
America:
Asks for Views
Los Angeles raising funds to bid for
international aviation contests. Prefers
to ask for holding in January. as winter
conditions are ideal here. What is
your opinion as to this?"
The Aero Club of California feels that
negotiations to secure the aeroplane
contests for Los Angeles should be
conducted through that organization,
and has so notified the chamber of
commerce, and stating that the Aero
club Is willing to work in conjunction
with the chamber of commerce to Sc
cuer the meet. The club has appointed
President Twining, w. II. Leonard, j.
H. Klassen and William Stevens a
committee to confer with the exposi-
tion committee of the chamber of COM
merce.
1.-THE Aero Club of California is af-
filiated with the Aero Club of America,
and hence the contests must be secured
through it's auspices" said W. H. Leon
ard last night. I'VE want to secure it
for Los Angeles and are willing to
work with other organizations to make
it a success"

GH0STLY FIGURE JOINS
M0URNERS AT FUNERAL
Peasantry Holding Wake Are Startled
by Entrance of Person in Black,
Who Goes Unchalenged

DUBLIN, Sept. 10.-A remarkable in :
cident is stated to have occurred at
Garrick- on Shannon at the wake of
a woman named Goldrick.
The wake" had been proceeding for
some little time when. at about IL
o'clock in the evening. a strange fig
ure, dressed entirely in black, and with
the face yelled, glided into the room,
where it remained seated in the midst
of the mourners. All present were too
terrified to question the figure, which
sat muttering to itself until, at the
break of day, it glided, away as mys-
terlously as it had come.
So deep-rooted is the superstition of
the average peasant that it 10 difficult
to persuade the mourners the ghost
was a practical joker.

Charles W. Eliot former president
of Harvard university, who delivered
the principal address at the commence

Missouri the other day, said in part:
s 1.-THE most valuable element in a
feasible equality is equality before the
law and all agents of the law, and this
element is precious just because it
tends to make the pursuit of happiness
free and secure The American de-
mocracy, which should make the pur-
suit of happiness free and secure to
all, is far from having accomplished
this result.
1T can do so, however, without seek
ing to establish among mer monoto-
nous, tiresome and unnatural equality,
for happiness Is fortunately state Of
mind quite independent Of condition
as regards wealth or the habitual oc-
cupation and Of mental gifts. 1t is a
product Of health. serviceableness, 10y
atty, security, amiability and good
standing among ones fellows.
''In a democracy all sorts and condi-
lions Of men should be equally free

piness, but all experience proves that

whose simple, dutiful lives VIII not
