HARRIMAN'S PROMISE

COMMITTEE representing owners
N of property contiguous to the Ar
IA cade depot has addressed letter
to e. H. Hartman, president of the
Southern Pacific Railway company,
calling his attention to the delay in
carrying out the Hartman end of the
agreement for erecting a new depot.
In 1906 presentations were made to
the city council on the part of Harri-
man that the Southern Pacific COM
pany desired to begin as soon as posi-
BILE the erection of a large and COM
modious depot building which would
take the place of the one now in USE
and application was made to the coun-
ell for the vacation of all of Fifth
street abutting on the Southern Pacific
property on which is situated the Ar
cade depot. By an ordinance passed
over the veto of Mayor McAleer the
company got the land. 1t was declared
at the time that the work to be done
on the grounds would amount to a sum
of not less than $750,O00, and perhaps
81, 900, O00 but as yet nothing has been
done in the way of construction. The
Southern Pacific has the land-the
public has promises more than two
years unfulflled.
Mr. Hartman stated at a chamber
of commerce reception that when
moneys expended for the reclama-
ton of the Imperial country from
the floods We're paid they would be
used in building a depot in place of
the old Arcade structure.
But this has nothing to do with the
case. An agreement was made. The
city has lived up to its part of the
agreement. The Southern Pacific COM
pany has not. There is a growing pub
lie opinion which favors action with a
view to holding Mr.. Hartman to his
agreement Not single spadeful Of
earth has been turned, not nail has
been driven in the much desired depot
structure. By the committeeman Mr..
Hartman is urgently requested to or
der his part of the contract with the
city of Los Angeles in the matter of
, the vacation of Fifth street and the
construction of the depot complied
with, and in this position they will be
supported by the public.
The people of Los Angeles are in no
mood for trihing. They do not care to
submit quietly to the whims and ca
prices of any "magnate" who may
imagine himself superior to the public
and the public's interests. Nor does
the public care to accept Kruttschnitt
as the wicked partner. The response
bility for the unjustifable delay in the
erection of the depot is Harriman's,
and Harrimans alone. This RESPONSE
bility cannot be lodged or evaded Mr..
Hartman must keep his word and If
he should fail to keep his word, the
people Of Los Angeles will demand an
explanation.

And as to the war in heaven of Rev,
1879, let us read Rev., IL, and we will
see that the whole book is prophecy

ly come to pass"-things which must
be hereafter" (Chap. AID, so that what
ever Rev, 1879, may mean land it not

figurative representation of events that
were to come to pass after John wrote,
about A. d. So, and not '1ong before
God had created man." as Lux says.
I am quite familiar with the other
references Lux gives, which are all IN
perfect harmony with the truth, that
man is his own worst enemy. 1 chose
this for explanation because 1t carries
us back further toward the supposed
origin of this supposed spiritual evil"

can be written in the Letter Box. 1

LUcIFER WORD APPLIED TO
KING OF BABYLON IN DEATH

POMONA. April 26t-[Editor Herald:
I am glad to see the interest taken in
considering the subject of the devu.
l believe it is of primary Importance
to know who or what is our great en-
emy. But in striving to answer the
question there is danger of our laying
hold of symbols to be found in book
that is highly figurative and confessedly
"hard to be UNDERSTOOD 0I Pet. $3.50
and making them fit the assumed SUI
pernatural devil idea. To show how
easily this may be done, see Lux IN
today's issue: Long before God Gre
ated man he had created numberiess
spirits called angels, and great many
of these committed sin under the
leadership of one called Lucifer, and
the result of this sin is stated in Rev.,
1919" etc.
Now let us see. OF the work of the
angels the writer to the Hebrews says
Q:14): Are they not all ministering
spirits (not tempters in any case) sent
forth to minister for them who shall
be the heirs of salvation? Lucifer Is
a word found only once in the Bible,
and is there applied to the king OF
Babylon, when he has gone to the grave
like other men. Let us read: THAT
thou shalt take up this parable against
the king of Babylon and say
Thy pofnp is brought down to the
grave Heb, Sheol, where there Is
neither work. device, wisdom nor
knowledgel Eco, 9:10), and the noise
of thy viols the worm is spread under
thee, and the worms cover thee. How
art thou fallen from heaven, Lucifer,
son of the morningl How art thou cast
down to the ground that didst weaken
the nations! They that see thee shall
narrowly look upon thee and say; Is
this the man that made the earth to
tremble, that did shake the nations"
Qsa., 14:4, IL, IL, 16). Read the whole
chapter and see that Lucifer is but a
figurative representation of the former
brightness of Babylon's king. who now

Throughout the United States the
daily press was closed to the public.
Only a man of distinction or promi-

1t is foregone conclusion the friends
of John Willis Baer-and he has le-

here and continue to identify himself
with the interests of Los Angeles and

with educational interests. This edu-

Washington. Aug. 25.-The western

interior generally are overflowing with
money. They can get along with little
aid from the eastern banks. This is
the view of Acting Secretary of Treas
ury Norton, who has Just returned
from conference with the president.
Any talk, indicating that the banks
are pressed for money with which to
move crops, seems to be discounted by
this view.

of the country than can be found In

New York, Aug. 25.-The stock mar
ket opened weak on the favorable in
terpretations of the report of Harr-
mans health and the disappointment
over his interview, in which he indi-
Gated 1t to be his policy to maintain
the present dividends and extend his
properties, rather than to increase i'm
meliately the returns to the stock
holders.
The Hartman railroads, the New
York Central, Erie, and Reading were
conspicuously weak, with declines of a
point or more.
v. p. sIumps Badly.
Before the end of the first hour fur
ther weakness was shown by Harri-
mans stocks. Union Pacific sold Ssa
below yesterdays close, with preferred
at 2ss. Southern Pacific was 2 down.
Reading was sold extensively at de-
cline of over two points. Despite the
fact that the business of the first hour
was limited largely to half dozen is
sues, the volume of trading was in ex-
cess OF 100000 shares. In the second
hour there was some recovery, but no
reduction in operations.
Wall street heard unofficially this
morning that Hartman was resting
comfortably at his home in Arden. 1t
Is the evident determination of his
family there to protect him from any
thing that might cause him worry or
mental strain.
Stocks Break Lower.
BY noon further losses were record
ed thruout the list. Union Pacific was
off over five points, and preferred over
three. Southern Pacific was down
three; New York Central az; Reading
3A; st. Paul 2A; and United States
Steeel common and Erie common two
points each. The selling was apparent
ly for both accounts and a great deal
of long stock was being offered. At
times support was shown, but each
rally was at a lower level.

CONVICT IS FREED
Supreme Courts Decision That Section
Of Law Was Unconstitutional Results
in Liberatins Man Who Confessed to
Heinous Crime.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The two-year
sentence imposed upon Louis Hinder
stein, convicted at Baltimore in Octo-
ber. 1908, on the charge of harboring
and maintaining an alien girl for inn
moral purposes, was today committed
to expire Immediately. The action was
based upon the recommendation Of At
torney General Wickersham, who was
moved by the decision of the supreme
court declaring unconstitutional, sec
tion three of the immigration act of
Feb. 20, 1908, under which Hinderstein
was convicted. The section was de-
clared unconstitutional because of the
fact that 1t interfered with the police
laws Of states and municipalities. 1t
was found that the federal government
had right to make a law excluding
aliens imported for immoral purposes,
but that after they were once admitted
such persons were under the control
Of the local laws. Hindersten pleaded
guilty to the charge against him.
