CHICAGO PROFESSORS.

It may be doubted whether Mir. devoting some thirty millions of dol lars to developing the Chicago uni versity he has been as wise as in his other investments. It is scarcely to be hoped that the Chicago university will take rank in the public mind with Harvard, Yale, Princeton or Cor nell or Stanford so long as the profes- sors of the Chicago institution lose no opportunity to make themselves ridic- ulous. The alleged discovery of the north pole by Dr. Cook was at once pronounced fake by the Chicago pro- in doubting Peary's story. These news events were of sufficient importance to warrant expressions from them. of course, but the pointed fact is that the professors of the Chicago univer- sity never lose an opportunity to rush into print with any sort of state ment that will place them in the limelight-
 If a woman is quoted in the press on the subject of twins. the reporters hurry hot-foot to a Chicago professor for an interview on the same subject and they are never disappointed. No matter how trivial the topic, if it has some element of sensationalism. a Chicago professor is at once on the job with observations, and always with remarks to the effect that all the rest of the world is wrong, and that he. the learned professor. is equipped with the correct dope"
 Mir. Rockefeller never has been credited with any pronounced sense of humor, but perhaps the world has not understood him. Maybe the Chi cago university is intended by him to be a grim joke. -

AT THE THEATERS

All the airdomes will open with new vaudeville Tuesday night. The Grand will bill what seems in advance to be two very strong acts. The Golf scum will have the big bill of the week. Special rates will probably be made for Mesa and Tempe. although at this date nothing can be stated as a certainty. The Majestic has very good bill, although not the bill that was booked last week. Al Bini will open on the 21st instead of thja Tuesday. The Coliseum will enlarge it's seating capacity to 300 more peo- pie today. This has been contem- plated for some time.

sion, we understand, for gathering of the democratic chieftains of the territory for a conference with the peerless leader"
 It is to be feared that if the chief tains are as candid with the colonel as he has a right to insist that they shall be, they will not be able to give him all the comfort he would like in the matter of assurances concerning the political future of Arizona.
 It is safe to say that the Arizona democratic leaders are for Bryan, all right, but we are doubtful of the ability of anybody to prove to Col. Bryan that Arizona will be for the democratic party.
 Party lines are holding people less strongly in the United States than ever before. Men. and the policies they stand for, are more important in the minds of the voters than the question whether the candidate wears this or that party label. And Arizona is one of the most intelligent and progressive sections of the United States.

REDUCED FARES IN DOLLARS.

Based on transformation there seems effect that the reduced passenger rates recently accomplished by the substantial benefit to the travelling public. The statement has been pub lished, for example, that inasmuch as regular travellers buy scrip books, which are sold on the basis of 3 cents a mile, and the rest of the public waits for low excursion rates, practically nobody will benefit by the reduced tariff.
 The statement is, of course, absurd on the face of it, for it would imply that the regular daily trains carry substantially nobody paying the tariff rate.
 The fact is that the revenues of the Maricopa & Phoenix line will be diminished to the extent of some s2000 per month, and the revenues of the Santa Fe lines will be diminished some sS500 per month. In other words, approximately s66.OOO per year will remain in the pockets of people who travel on these lines.
 And we fancy that in the judgment of most people the sum of s66.0OO is a considerable saving.

ONE-MAN STORIES.

It is a curious coincidence that the respective reports by Dr. Cook and Commander Peary that they reached the pole, rest so far upon the un- supported testimony of the discoverer himself, in each instance.
 Cook says he was accompanied by two Eskimos, only, and Peary says he was accompanied by four Eski- mos. only.
 to his story on the ground that his Eskimos were negli- gible witnesses. and they in sisted that Cook must support his assertions with proof in the form of documentary data of observations, photographs, etcetera. The world, ac- cepting the force of these objections. awaits with suspended judgment the production of Cooks report in full
 As to Peary, when the news came that he had reached the pole, it was at once assumed that he had been accompanied by one or more white members of his party. and it was pointed out that Peary, at least would be able to produce credible wit nesses in corroboration.
 But Peary's story as so far given out-which the Associated Press has not handled because it was copy righted for the benefit of a New York newspaper and has been published only where sold by that paper to other papers-shows that the naval explorer in his final dash" for the pole left all his white men behind and took only the Eskimos with him in each case is a one-man story, and the world will believe both, or neither, as it chooses.
 As a matter of fact, however, there seems to be no disposition in any
  Peary's report. His high standing as an officer of the United States navy precludes doubt of his word. And, no doubt. carrying the equipment he did, he has brought back with him such photographs and astronomical data as will amply support his claim.
 There is, however. one feature of Peary's story which opens the way for belief of Cooks report. One of the strong objections to acceptance of Cooks report, made by men who have been on other polar expeditions, was that it must be considered impos- sibIe for sledge party to make the distance each day that Cook claims he made an average of some fifteen miles. Now comes Peary with the statement that he frequently made twenty miles, and in one instance as much as forty miles, in day.

FRUIT MERCHANTS
Senator Mccartney, Trainer of Bill,
Accuses Dealers of Falling to
Provide Proper Sanitary

Senator Mccartney, Trainer Of the
California pure food bill, obtained yes
terday nine warrants, alleging that

Ian 1.-TWO complaints), w. M. Duke,
Vernon Hanlemann, G. Peterman, Jo-
seph Riebold, E. Berckoff and George
Gedis. The cases will be tried before

Senator Mccartney was instrumental
in bringing nineteen produce dealers
of Los Angeles to court in answer to
similar charges, but the cases were
dismissed at his request, as it was
found that the defendants were not ia
miliar with the new pure food law.
At that time Mr.. Mccartney stated
that a vigorous campaign would be in
stituted against fruit dealers who per-
sisted in violating the law and the
complaints issued yesterday resulted
from the present crusade against the

vestment Opportunities

E. Hamilton Banker a large manu-
facturer of New York, is visitor in
the city for several days Mr.. Banker
is one of the fortunate investors in
Southern California who has never
parted with any of his real estate
purchases. He is a great believer in
the "City of the Foothills"-Pasaden
and has large investments there with
which he has repeatedly refused to
part. He has the utmost confidence in
the future of that section of California
and says that it is the consensus or
opinion among eastern capitalists and
investors with whom he is acquainted
that ultimately this favored section in
and around the City of Angels will be
the playground of America.
Banker has visited on this trip the
northwestern cities-Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland also the bay cities, and
states that no where did he find that
enthusiastic feeling which exists in
Los Angeles.
#. A. Sperry. president of the Sperry
& HUTCHINSON company of New York
City, the largest trading stamp COM
pany in the world, with branches in
more than fifty-six cities, is also look

a number of days and then return di-
rect to New York. Banker is vice

GAL MOVEMENT
Business Men Will Be Asked to Assist
in Work of Guiding Orphaned

Men

The Fishermans club, under the su-
pervision of Charles T. Youngken, has
appointed a committee of eight to be
known as the big brother" commit
tee. The object of the committee is to
rescue the hundreds of boys adrift on
the Streets of Los Angeles, discharged
from the detention home or brought
before the Juvenile court. The princi-
pal feature of the plan, however, is to
provide as many boys as possible
with guardians.
1t is proposed to interest the promi-
nent Los Angeles business men in the
movement and to induce each of them
to be a big brother" to one of the
boys. The idea has been taken largely
from similar movement started re-
Gently in New York city and which has
already met with unqualified success.
The "big brother" committee. COM
posed of Rev. 7. c. Horton, chairman;
Bruce r. Wallace, treasurer; C. I.

Judge Curtis d. Wilbur in speaking
of the movement, said, so far as it
bears on the work of the juvenile
court l will say that I am heartily in
favor of it. If the probation plan is to
be as good as it has already been,
and l am sure it will continue to
be, it is exceedingly important that the
boys and girls on probation be sur
rounded with the best possible influ-
ences l think your plan Is an ex-
ceedingly good one and L will be very
glad to cooperate with all the big
brothers. Our probation officer will
be glad to have such assistance as you

CHARGED WITH LURING BOY
INTO GAME OF CHANGE
Man Arrested Near San Diego VIII
Be Taken to Mississippi
for Trial

]. o. Smith, alias Oscar Smithwick,
who was arrested in grading camp
near San Diego Wednesday, was
brought to Los Angeles yesterday aft
ernoon by Detective Chapman and will
be held at the city Jail pending the
arrival of Sheriff ]. C. Magruder of
Hattiesburg, Miss.
The special charge against Smith is
enticing a boy to enter gambling
game, which offense, according to the
laws of Mississippi, is a felony. The
Los Angeles detectives have been
searching for Smith for more than a
month, as it is alleged that he is
wanted in Mississippi on murder
charge. Smith declared yesterday that
he had been acquitted of the murder
charge and the only complaint charged
against Smith is that of enticing
youth to take part in a gambling
game.
Repuisition papers signed by Cover
nor Gillett, which were issued in
Mississippi, were in the possession of
the Los Angeles detectives for more
than a month, having been obtained
when it was learned that Smith was
in Southern California.

TO ADDRESS THE CITY CLUB
Senator Miguel EstudiIlo Will Speak
Saturday on "The Peoples
Lobby" s

At the regular weekly meeting Of the
City club Saturday, June 10. Senator
Miguel Estudillo of Riverside will
sneak on 1.-THE Peoples Lobby
1t was largely through the efforts of
Senator Estudillo that the state OBJ
tanned as good direct primary law as
it did. Los Angeles county owes him
a debt for the good work he performed
in favor of consolidation. He was one
of the strongest supporters of the anti
race track gambling bill, and made a
valiant though unsuccessful fight for
the passage of the Estudillo local op-
ton bill.
Everett j. Brown judge of the supe-
rior court of Alameda county will also
address the club. His subject will be
observations From the Bench" and
he will tell why the judiciary should
be divorced from politics. Judge Brown
was formerly district attorney of that
county, and it was his fearless fight
against the evils of the Emoryville
track that made him the logical candi-
date for judge.
