During the entire week a better
feeling has been noticeable in the
local market. The volume of bust
ness has increased appreciably, and
prices closed a little better than
those prevailing during the early
part of the week.
Snowstorm responds very readily
to even small buying and looks
like it ought to get back up around
$175 at an early date.
The buying movement in Snow
shoe continues without intermis-
sion and there Is no doubt
about a concentrated movement

to have started a grass fire on
Northwest boulevard near Nata-

mere spark dropped among them
may cause a disastrous fire.

CITY MUST BE ADORNED ONE
WEEK FROM SATURDAY
APPEAL MADE TO MERCHANTS
AND BUSINESS MEN
Establishment of Los Angeles In
Honor of Presidents Visit De-
pends on Quick Action
of Citizens

One week from Saturday night all
the decorations in honor of the visit of
President Taft must be finished, and
yesterday members of the street deco
rationS committee of the chamber of
commerce issued a special plea to mer-
chants and business men to get to-
gether in embellishing their street
fronts as soon as possible. 1t is hoped
the downtown streets can be made gay
with flags and bunting, but much of the
work will have to be done by the mer-
chants as the committee has decided
not to appeal to business men for con-
tributionS in order to eXpend money for
lavish establishment. No solicitation
for money will be made at any time
by those in charge of the arrangements.
1t was decided yesterday that the
press representatives and the four
members of the press committee, with
Secretary of the Executive Committee
Philip D. Wilson, will be given table
directly in front of the stage where the
presidents table will be set. The press
committee comprises John G. Mott
chairman, Douglas White, John r.
Elliott and Guy Barham. The repre-
sentatives of the five newspapers Will
complete the list of ten that will sit at
this table.
The press representatives who are
travelling with Mr. Taft's party will be
given seats at his table. These men
and their employers are: Robert I.
Small Associated Press; Robert H.
Hazard, United Press; T.. A. Fowler,

ANOTHER WHITEWASH
AT SOLDIERS HOME
MAJOR BREWSTER REFUSES
TO LOOK OVER AFFIDAVITS
G. A. r. Leaders Wait in Vain at
Office for the Promised Call
of the Inspecting
Officer

Maj. A. W. Brewster, assistant IN
spector general of the United States
army, returned to Washington yester-
day morning after a visit of inspection
to the National Soldiers horne at Saw
telle.
Maj. Brewster and Governor Coch-
rane had a pleasant visit at the home
inspecting the geraniums and the gov
ernor's office cat.
Everything is in fine shape, major"
said the governor.
Sure, it's great" said the major.
Meanwhile MAJ. John Q. A. Walker
and DR.. Charles H. Case were waiting
patiently at the latter's office, 4151a
South Spring street, fer Maj, Brewster
to arrive and examine a number of
affidavits which they had gathered re-
garding i'll treatment of the veterans
of the soldiers home.
HE promised to come" said Maj.
Walker, looking at his watch. We've
got enough evidence here to make our
case if he'll only come and look at it,.
The telephone bell rang. Maj. Brew
ster was on the line.
''I am at the soldiers home,' he said.
'If you have any evidence Io submit
come out at the home and I'll examine
it,"
1--WE were given to understand that
we were not welcome at the home,"
said Mai Walker, 81 am Offering you
evidence of serious mistreatment Of the
veterans l cannot go to the hor1es
and ask you to come here and examine
the affidavits which 1 have gathered"
IT came here to inspect the soldiers
home, and that is what 1 am inspect
ing" was the answer. II cannot in
spect anything outside the home" This
terminated the conversation, but Maj.
Walker and DIR. Case declared that 1t
did not terminate the incident.

WILL RUSH PLANS
FOR NEW SCHOOLS
Board of Education Will Have Every
thing in Readiness for Building
When Money from Bonds
Is Received

Anticipating the early sale of the
school bonds, the board of education
has ordered work rushed on the plans
for the new school buildings, so sorely
needed in the city now. 1t is the hope
of the educators that they can have
the plans and specifications all ready
for submission to contractors for bids
the day after the money for the bonds
is in hand. Several of the plans are
now completed and in the hands of the
board. The others will probably be
finished this month.
Several additions will be made to the
buildings of the new POLYTECHNIC high
school and at least $4,000 will be eX-
pended at the Los Angeles high school
in improvements. The Gardena high
school is to be remodeled and made an
agricultural high school,
Parkinson and Bergstrom have been
awarded the work of drawing the plans
for the proposed manual training nigh
school. Work on this building will not
be started before next year, as a site
has not been chosen and the board OF
education does not expect to get the
building ready before the winter term
of 1910.

GOT NEW SUIT CASE IN
PLACE OF ONE HE LOST
Police Looking for H. A. Whitney, Who
Took Novel Method of Getting
Even with Clerk

Deputy District Attorney Arthur
Veitch yesterday issued a complaint
charging H. A. Whitney with stealing
a suitcase containing a valuable set of
sheep shearing tools and a quantity
of clothing from George Gallemore of
the Greater Los Angeles hotel at 2271s
East First street. The theft was COM
mitted in an original manner and is
evidence that Whitney has peculiar
sense of humor.
1t is charged that Whitney occupied
room 144 at the hotel. Saturday night
he created a disturbance and was or
dered by the clerk to leave the place.
AS he was emerging from the hotel Of
flee Whitney stopped and asked the
clerk if he could return to his room
and get his suitcase.
you stay where you are and will
get it for you," the clerk is said to
have replied. What is the number OF
your room?"
Room 142," said Whitney.
The clerk soon returned with new
and heavy suitcase and handed it to
Whitney.
MANY thanks, old man, for your
Kindness" said Whitney as he hur-
ried away.
Shortly afterward Gallemore, who
occupies room No. 142, returned. He
missed his suitcase and reported the
matter to the clerk. An Investigation
was made and a dilapidated suitcase
containing a small quantity of old col
lars and ties, was found In the room
recently vacated by Whitney.

HEINzE AGAIN MAY
FACE INDICTMENTS
SEALED BENCH WARRANTS
ARE ISSUED
Grand Jury in New York Probes Af-
fairs of the Copper Maanate and
Steamship .Lines-Returns
Sealed Verdict

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-After inves-
tigating the affairs of F. Augustus
Heinze of the United Copper company
as well as charges of rebating against
several important transatlantic steam
ship lines and railroads, the federal
grand jury returned several sealed in
dictments today which were handed in
to the criminal branch of the United
States circuit court.
Bench warrants were issued on the
indictments but they will be kept
under seal until the grand jury inVes-
tigation of the steamship railroads
case is completed.
According to a statement issued to-
day by attorneys for Mr.. Heinze, the
efforts of Newman Erb and others to
wrest the management of the Davis
DAILY Copper Mining company of the
control of the Heinze interests VIII
prove unavailing, as proxies for S50,-
600 shares-a safe ma1ority-it is said,
are already in the hands of the Helnze
committee.
In regard to the Maine injunction,
the statement said
"Mr. Erb and his associates have
been unsuccessful in gaining sufficient
proxies to control the annual meeting
and are now merely sparring for time
in an effort to work themselves out
of bad situation.
"It is not known at present on what
charges or allegations Mr.. Erb hopes
to sustain the temporary injunction
but it is clear that they cannot be sub
stantial or well founded.
'sThe annual meeting will be held on
September 2S, but will adjourn without
taking up any business until october
IS, awaiting in the meantime the de-
cision of the Maine courts"

WILL FLY FLAGS
FROM BALLOON
SIGNAL CORPS TN MAKE FIRST
TEST IN STATE TODAY
DICK FERRIS COURTESY MAKES
TRIAL POSSIBLE
Automobiles Will Follow Big Gas Bag
and Receive Signals Under the
Direction of Captain
Slotterbeck

Through the courtesy of Dick Ferris
the first military ascension to be made
in California, which will take place
from the Chutes park balloon grounds
at II o'clock this morning, will utilize
Lieut.. Lahm's famous basket with
which he crossed the English channel
from Paris in 1906 to win the first in
ternational balloon race ever held. The
basket is the property of Mr.. Ferris
and was loaned to company A, signal
corps, for the occasion. Lieut.. Lahm
is the army officer who is now detailed
for the Wright aeroplane flights on the
aeroplane recently purchased by the
government.
The balloon United States, with
which he made the international fight,
was purchased by Mr.. Ferris and
brought to Los Angeles after it had
competed in the second international
contest from st. Louis in 1907. Its en-
velope could not be used today, as it is
still in Modoc county, almost at the
California line, where it landed in July.
Capt. H. w. Slotterbeck of company
A, signal corps, arranged the ascen-
sion, which will be conducted in mill
tary style throughout for the benefit OF
the visiting members of the National
Guard association of the United States.
If the lower currents permit. as the
weather map indicates, the balloon VIII
De sent over Iu6 DuSiIltoS uIolilCIs liS
ascension will be made Immediately
after the adjournment of the National
Guard association this morning.
The men detailed to take the. balloon
trip are Corporal Vance Worden, w.
A. Hall and George B. Harrison, the
latter acting as pilot. Other members
of the company will follow in automo-
biles and practice signaling with the
occupants of the balloon, using the
Meyer code and action flags. Dick Fer
ris has donated the use of his big car
and w. r. Reuss has given the use Of
a Pope Hartford for the benefit of the
signal corps.
Although there are several aerial de-
tachments of the national guard in the
United States none has yet made a
regulation balloon ascension. Com
pany A of Los Angeles was the first
in the country to organize an aeronau-
tical squad and is anxious to be the
first to do practical military balloon
ing. The signal corps of the regular
army has made several balloon ascen-
sions and trips with the army dirigible,
and will soon be utilizing the aeroplane
purchased by the government from the
Wright brothers.

LEoNARDT SAYS EMERGENCY
CAUSE Of ILLEGAL HOURS
Hearing of Contractor Accused of Vio-
Iating Eight-Hour Clause Is Held
Before Board of Supervisors

The final hearing # the charges
against Carl Leonardt, contractor, that
he had violated the eight-hour law by
employing men to work more than
eight hours on buildings at the county
hospital and the hall of records, was
held before the board Of supervisors
yesterday. After listening to testi-
mony of a number of persons, the mat
ter was taken under advisement by
the board.
sit was stated in Leonardt's behalf
that an emergency existed at the hos
pital grounds because it was found
necessary to lay extra foundations and
at the hall of records on account of
a cave-in about July l.
Concerning the last-named occur
renee 1t was stated by Leonardt in
an interview at the time that there
was absolutely no danger to be feared
and that braces had been placed in
position to prevent any further falling
away of the embankment. Those who
filed the charges contend that If extra
work was necessary two or more shifts
of men should have been employed.
