OPENING OF RESORTS
Tourist Season Begun Yester-
day---Resorts Ready for
1909 Business.

Yesterday marked the opening
of all the resorts IN this section
for the season of 1909, and indi-
cations are auspicious for a lib
eral patronage and a remunera-
tive season to resort owners.
While this section is in an I'M
developed state, it affords to the
seeker for variety an unlimited
field. The conditions are hard
to beat. If the average man or
woman wish to forged troubles
and can, temporarily, get along
without electric lights, trolly
cars, smoke, dust and dirt, they
should spend the summer vaca-
ton among the resorts in Villas
county. To him who, in the love
of Nature, holds communion with
her visible forms, Villas county is
the land of hearts desire.
And June fishing combines in a
rare degree the subtle qualities
which attract the true fisherman
t,o the lake region. Wearied as
he is with the strain of the
winters work his mind turns
longingly back to nature. Mem
cries arise of the fresh green of
springtime, OF an atmosphere
quivering with life. of the !impid
lakes decked with lily pads be-
meath which Turk the wary bass,
or into the deeper water where
the pike or muscallonge lie in
wait for the articles of the bait
caster.
To those who wish only for a
change from every day cares-a
stroll Though woods filled with
balsamic odors--a shady nook to
while away the days in quietude
and contentment, delectablefood
and comfy" beds, a dip IN the
lake, launching, boating-in fact
any and every method of amuse-
rnent to please the visitor, can be
found among the many resorts
which are located in this section.

CANNON WANTS
COMMIT TEEMEN
SPEAKER is PUZZLED ABOUT
APPOINTMENTS
TAWNEY MAY PRESIDE OVER
BODY ON RULES
Minnesotan and Mann of Illinois Men,
toned as Probable Chairmen.
Westerners Ask Return
of Plum

WASHINGTON, March 6.-SpeakeT
Cannon is puzzling his head in the in
terim between the sessions of congress
over the personnel of the next commit
tee on rules. The appointment of this
committee is one of the first duties
the speaker of the incoming congress
will have to perform unless the in
surgents" muster enough strength to
form an alliance with the Democrats
to amend the rules SO as to provide for
the election of a committee on COM
mittees.
Speaker Cannon does not believe they
will, and so he is considering some of
the problems that may VeX him IN the
days to come.
There are two vacancies on this pow
erful committee. Vice President Sher-
man has Just left it and so has Sem
ator-elect Williams of Mississippi.
Many members believe the choice of
a successor to Mr.. Sherman lies be-
tween Representative James A. Taw-
ney of Minnesota and Representative
James r. Mann of Illinois. Although
Mr.. sherman came from New York, the
position is claimed by western MEM
bers.
MIR. sherman succeeded General
Grosvenor of Ohio, and the western
delegation claim it is high time that
the plum be returned to them.
While the speaker Is d WeSlSln llidiif
il is urged as customary that the other
two Republican members of the COM
mittee be chosen one from the east and
the other from the west. Representa-
tive Dalzell of Pennsylvania is the
eastern representative.
Mr.. Tawney's rise in the house has
been phenomenal. He has powerful
influence on the floor and it is urged
that he would be good strength TO
the committee.
Most of all the speaker desires par
Humanitarian who can defend any rule
on the floor of the house in an impress
sive and persuasive way. Representa-
tive Mann fills the qualification very
we'll. but the objection to him is that
he comes from the speakers own state.
Messrs. DENLY and Townsend or
Michigan, Smith of Iowa, Currier or
New Hampshire and Foster of YER
mont are regarded as possibilities.
The selection of the new Democratic
members will probably be left to MI
nority Leader Clarke.
1t has been regarded as desirable
move to have the minority leader for
a member but Mr.. Clarke cannot take
the position as long as Mr.. De Almond
of the same -MisSouri-remains
on the committee.
A plan has been devised by which
Mr.. Fitzgerald, regarded as one of the
best parliamentarians on the Demo-
cratic side, should have place on the
committee. AS yet the plan has not
been approved by all interested in 1t.

TWO WELL KNOWN SOCIETY
GIRLS DROP OUT OF SIGHT
Simultaneous Disappearance of Young
Men Points to Elopement as
Probable Solution

SAWTELLE, March 6.-Much excite
ment has been caused here by the sud-
den disappearance of Miss Laura Cope
ley and Miss Florence Williams, each
about II years old.
Miss Copeley resided with her moth
er on oregon avenue, and Miss Will
liams at the home of her parents on
Oregon avenue.
The last seen of them was Wednesday
evening, when they left home ostensi-
bly, to attend a moving picture show.
Their failure to return home alarmed
their friends, but not until today were
any steps taken to learn their where
abouts.
City Marshal M. l. Young was given
charge of the case, and the latest de-
velopments indicate that two young
men of the town disappeared at the
same time 1t is thought that the girls
and their male companions eloped
One of the young men in question is
George Green, an employee on the
Wolfskil ranch. The name of Miss
Williams companion has not been
learned.
The girls are both handsome and ac-
eomplished, and belong to the best
families in town.

MERRY LITTLE BROWN MEN ARE
THE GAMERS
Broker Says He Pays 312 Per Cent on
Investments and That Japanese
Get Profits-May Trim
Morgan

Harry d. Brown, the broker who de
clares he pays dividends of 800 per CEN
and pays them weekly to all VINO care
to invest, takes exception to statements
about his business methods publlsneo
in the Japanese paper, the Rutu Shlm'
20.
Mr.. Brown declared, in the presence
of his attorney, Fred Spring, and three
members of The Herald stan, that he
had a direct wire from Slauson juno
ton to Wall street. He also declared
that by "scalping the market he coulo
legitimately pay the dividends OF %
and Sc upon 500 investments. He salc
he had paid such dividends to many
Japanese customers, who came to ms
office through his advertisement in the
Shimpo.
Mr.. Brown afterwards changed his
statement about his direct wire connec-
ton between Slauson Junction and Ne"
York, He said the wire was to san
Francisco or some other point, ana
that he was not sure where it did go.
He declared he had a telegraph operat-
or in his employ, but did not know the
operators name.
THE broker further. declared he was
fleeing the lambs in Wall street Tor
the benefit of Japanese laborers on the
Pacific coast. He denied that he was
q philanthropist in his work or that he
had thought of patriotism as motive.
When 1t was suggested to him that II
he could get 1000 Japanese to contribute
500 each it would make 100000 Mr..
Browns eyes sparkled and he rubbed
his fat hands together with great unc-
ton.
When 1t was further suggested that
ION this investment at the rate of 300
per cent he would pay to the Japanese
in one year the snug sum of 100000,
Mr.. Browns broad expanse of chin set
tied down even to its third fold.
To further cheer Mr. Brown, it was
suggested that each of the 1000 Japan
csc might be persuaded to invest $500
This would make 100000 for you to
handle, Mr.. Brown" said the reporter
The brokers' gladstone smile expanded
across his countenance His eyes
snapped as he rubbed his hands and
beamed upon the listeners present.
100000 in Dividends
"But that would mean 100000 in divi-
dends for the Japanese. snug sum,
isn't it, Mr. Brown
The broker looked solemn for a brief
moment Then, smiled less broadly,
rubbed his hands less vigorously, but
declared with an assumed briskness:
at can be done, gentlemen; it can be
done" he declared in tones that car
ried little conviction.
Asked if he devoted all his attention
to Japanese clients Mr.. Brown declared
he had many more American patrons.
He declared the Japanese business was
a small portion of his business. His
attention was drawn to the fact that
at his superb rate of earning dividends
for his clients all the loose money in
New York, especially that of Wall
street, would soon find it's way to Los
Angeles--or Slauson Junction. Mr..
Brown admitted the truth of the as
sertion, but declared he wasn't a phil
anthropist-just a booster for Los An

of Mysterious Red-Bearded
Man Accused of
Perjury

NASHVILLE, March 6.-Both sides
in the Cooper-Sharpe murder trial rest

Monday, when the arguments will be-

During the morning the state called

nesseean office, who on the afternoon

to the store moment later.

the business Office of the Tennesseean
that afternoon. Benning was arrested
last night for alleged perjury.
Gen. Washington made efforts today
to confuse Farrell, but failed.

POVERTY URGES
THEM TO SIGN
CAR MEN LIKE SHORT HOURS,
BUT NOT LOWER PAY
FEAR OF BEING SUPERSEDED
ALSO POTENT FACTOR
Action Taken In Signing Petition
Against Eight-Hour Law Ex-
planned by Pressure of
Necessity

II the statements of score or more
OF street railway employees are true.
more than two-thirds of those who man
the street cars in Los Angeles signed
the petition against the eight-hour day
law, not because they are opposed to
an eight-hour day, but because they
were told II would mean less wages.
Fear of discharge, men having been
found who could take their places, Is
said to be another reason.
That the officials of the local street
railway companies intended to make
1t disagreeable for all the carmen who
refused to sign the petition was made
known when a committee from each
of the barns called on John j. Akin,
superintendent of the Los Angeles rail-
way, Thursday to talk over the eight
hour law. At this meeting Akin in
formed the men that Huntington would
not raise the schedule under any con-
sideration, and that with only a few
hours of work each day the men would
hardly be able to earn a livelihood.
At present new men are paid only "a
cents an hour. If they should work
only eight hours a day at this rate
they would make but $1.92, or 1894,
working seven days week. On such
a small amount, they declared, they
would be unable to support their fam
lilies.
The only encouragement the men re-
ceived was the advice to sign the pc
tition. Superintendent Akin went on
record as declaring that he did not be-
lieve the state had a right to dictate
how many hours man should work
or what he should be paid. He stated
that it was realized by the officials
of the company that many of the men
would quit If the schedule was not
,o ;sa1 xx,har1 tho aiQhf-hOur daV law
was passed, but he added that it would
be easy to get men to fill their places.
Those who took exception to the
methods employed by the company in
inducing them to oppose the bill were
at the same time unanimous in de-
claring that the company usually had
treated them right in the past. They
said they relied on Huntington to do
the same in the future.
