NEED FOR STATION
SHOWN BY CROWDS
ARCADE DEPOT CONTESTED TO
OVERLOOKING
Los Angeles is Filled to a Greater
Extent Than Ever with Tour
lists and CoIonists from
the East

The urgent need for a union station
in Los Angeles, which has been widely
discussed since Edward H. Hartman,
the railroad king, made the announce
ment in the chamber of commerce
rooms last Monday that in the event
of his obtaining the money due him
from the United States for reclamation
services he would use it for erecting a
suitable station in Los Angeles, was
never more apparent than the past
week.
1t is not because the present station
has deteriorated to any great extent IN
the last week, but the enormous rush
of colonists and tourists who arrived
at Los Angeles the last week showed
up more than ever the inadequateness
of the present station, but particularly
the fact that Los Angeles is harbor1ng
more colonists at the present time than
ever in it's history was indicated.
Every overland train to Los Angeles
the last week brought a large number
of homeseekers to Southern California,
and all transportation records were
broken. The congestion at the Arcade
station was the most noticeable, as
the Southern Pacific railroad brought
the largest quota of fasteners.
Hotels had the banner week of their
existence in Los Angeles, and at nearly
all of the leading houses it was i'm
possible to be accomplished any night
during the week unless reservations
had been made.
The rush was not confined to the
hotels alone, but to every boarding
house, apartment house and private
home where rooms are rented.
The present activity of real estate
dealers, always held to be reliable
business barometer, is another fact
which proves the fact that Los Angeles
is attracting more eastern capital than
ever before in its history.
The endeavors of the chamber of
commerce and the widespread adver-
Using that Los Angeles has had are
showing returns, and indications point
to continuance Of the rush of people
to make their homes in or near Los
Angeles.
It is claimed the advertising that
Los Angeles has received during the
recent political agitation was not the
least which attracted favorable atten-
ton, for the eastern people were shown
a true example of western hustle and
enterprise by the energetic manner in
which the political situation was
brought about and the successful and
speedy manner in which 1t was con-
cluded.
Although a large number of colonists
have been attracted to Washington on
account of the coming Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition, this circumstance
does not seem to have an effect on the
travel to Los Angeles. The many at
fractions that are scheduled for Los
Angeles and the Pacific coast this
summer promise to make this section
of the country known to the world at
large as 1t has not been before.
The idea expressed by Frank Wig
gins, secretary of the chamber of COM
merce that every visitor to Los An
geles who goes away makes a living
advertisement for the city is proving
true.

SOCIALISTS FRET AT
MACHINES ALLIANCE

That many members of the Socialist
party in Los Angeles do not regard the
large vote cast for Fred Q. Wheeler,
their candidate for mayor at last FRI
days election, as tribute to Socialism,
as a principle, was manifested last
night by many of the members at the
meeting in Howell hall, South Main
street.
The Socialists are keenly alive to the
fact that the machine push" was re-
sponsible for many of Wheeler's votes,
and openly expressed the feeling that
they would have preferred to have
fought the election out on principles
alone. even If their vote had not been
nearly so large.
AS one prominent Socialist said last
night: Socialism has as it's mission
the carrying on of a progressive propa-
ganda, and we would rather never hold
an office than gain it by the votes OF
those who have not, and never have
had, the interests of Socialism at heart.
1t is a principle we are fighting for, and
not an office, but when we have sue
ceeded in convincing the majority that
our principles are the right ones then
the offices will come easily and natur-
ally, and not with the aid of those who
take up our standard simply to work
out a political spite. OF course If we
can persuade all who supported Mr..
Wheeler to vote the Socialist ticket, be-
lieving it to be the right one, that is
we'll enough, but until then we do not
want Socialism dragged down by those
politicians who have been downed be-
FORE
The fact that Mr.. Wheeler was at the
recall headquarters and congratulated
George Alexander on his election was
also commented on, and did not meet
with general approval. Prominent So
cialists stated that they did not believe
hobnobbing with other party leaders
was the true Socialistic spirit.
Last nights meeting will be the last
held in Howell hall, as the party is to
secure new headquarters, not settled
on as yet, which will be announced be-
fore next Sunday.
George w. Downing addressed the
meeting last night on conditions in the
underworld. but did not refer to the
recent election.

CITY FELICITATED ON
TRIUMPH OF RECALL
Victory Must Not Be Regarded as a
Mere incident, but as Setting
Standard for community's
Future Life

The clergymen o. Los Angeles stand
almost as one man for the recall move
ment, and yesterday many expressed
their qualification at the result of the
election. Mayor-elect Alexander has
the moral support of the churches be-
hind him, as is evidenced by state
ments made by prominent clergymep:
DIR. Charles Edward Locke, pastor of
the First Methodist church, said: Il
think one of the difficulties was that
some of the papers said that, if elect
ed, Alexander would give the city a
dry administration and that arrayed
the whole liquor element against him.
Mayor Alexander cannot enforce laws
not passed and it seemed unfair to
make that statement. If prohibition
laws were passed no doubt Uncle
George would enforce them. What
ever laws there are on the statute
book will be enforced. There is no law
to prevent the 200 saloons from keeping
open, but I imagine the blind pigs
will have some trouble. I was in favor
of the recall, and see no reason to
change my views. 1 believe that we
shall have a good-sensed administra-
tion.''
Personally I am very happy over
the victory" said Rev. William Horace
Day, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church. 1T am certain it will
make the city dare to deal vigorously
with the law-breaking element"
Rev. Hugh K. Walker, pastor of the
Emmanuel Presbyterian church, said
"The election of Mr.. Alexander is very
gratifying. / was always in favor of
the recall system, and I hope and be-
lieve that the administration will be
all that we could desire. I am very
fond of Mr.. Alexander personally, hav-
ing known him many years, and /
know him to be an honorable man and
believe his will be an honorable adj
mfnistration. I hope that something
will develop to give us the chance to
vote out the saloons"
at consider the recall movement a
splendid expression of the aroused
sentiment of the moral element of the
city" said Rev. A. B. Prichard, pastor
of the Central Presbyterian church.
"It constitutes victory of which we
may we'll be proud and sets a standard
up to which the people of the whole
community must be brought. 1t would
be fatal if it was simply regarded as
an incident and not as emphasizing a
principle up to which we are expected
to live. The prospect for nine months
good government under George Alex
ander could not be better"
1.-THE recall as a principle is excel
lent" said Rev. A. S. Phelps, pastor
of the Central Baptist church. 81
think it will have a good effect on all
officials"

Marksmen Practicing For
Two Weeks Shoot

OAKLAND, July 3I.-These are busy
days for the rifle and revolver shooters
of the bay cities. the Shell Mound tar
gets being occupied every afternoon by
marksmen. The big shooting tourna-
ment which is to be held at the Emery
Vile park under the auspices of the
San Francisco schuetzen verein is the
cause of the activity among the marks
men.
The shooting festival will begin
August % and continue every day for
two weeks. over $4,000 will be dis
tributed in cash prizes, besides num-
Der of valuable trophies. Entries are
daily being received from all parts of
the United States and the success of
the bunderfest of 10 years ago will
surely be duplicated. The shooting
range has been overhauled and work
men are now putting the finishing
touches on the improvements.
Half a dozen clubs will compete at
the ranges tomorrow in regular
monthly and special shoots and a num-
Der of individual shooters have engaged
targets for practice. The following
clubs will be at the ranges: Shell
Mound pistol and rifle club, Oakland

Haggin Brings Back
Mares Sent to Europe

Because Bids Were Too Low

The sale of horses held by ]. B.
Haggin in England recently did not
prove a success and "a of the brood
mares and yearlings sent abroad from
the Kentucky farm were brought back
to this country few days ago. A re-
serve price had been placed on them
at Newmarket. and when the bidding
was not satisfactory the Haggin rep
resentative ordered them withdrawn
There We're II mares and an equal
number of yearlings in the shipment
it Is pointed out in some quarters that
the American invasion of the English
turf this year has not been particu-
larly successful and that this fact, to-
gether with the poor prices realized
by some owners may tend to discour-
age future shipments abroad. 1t is
also held that a better class of horses
is needed at home. The absence of
many star performers in England this
summer allowed few owners like
Sam Hildreth to have things their own
way. Hildreth in particular profted
by the condition of affairs.
Robert Leighton, who is manager of
the Victoria meeting, will act in a
similar capacity at Vancouver. Last
Sunday he took a party of 80 horsemen

prediction was made that within three

modate $500 persons.

cress, leased by A. j. Joyner last year

Eddie Dugan, the California lad who

merous complaints in that direction the
stewards warned Dugan that If he
persisted in rough riding he would
permanently lose his license.
There was some criticism that the
Empire City meeting catered to west

the management, saying it was not to
blame because eastern owners did not
support the racing at Yonkers. 1t is
