members of the advisory committee
seek the advice and counsel of the
various bodies whose representatives
they are and to which official connec-
tion they owe their appointment to
membership on the advisory commit
tee.
Believing that in the collective wis
dom of the various organizations which
we have the honor to represent in this
matter will be found sound advice, we
respectfully submit the question for
your determination.
For your guidance and information
we submit herewith a copy of the res
olution creating this advisory commit
tee, adopted June 30, 1908, at which
time Messrs. Manning and Eldridge
were members of the board which
adopted the resolution, together with
copies of letters addressed to this COM
mittee and signed by Supervisors Prid-
ham, Nellis and McCabe at the time
they were candidates for members of
the board of supervisors.
Promises Were Violated
1--WE also submit a copy of resolu-
ton adopted by the present board of
supervisors, April 27 of this year, con-
frming the action of the former board
in creating this committee.
"You will note the language Of the
resolution of June 29, 1905 concerning
the filing of vacancies upon the high
way commission, and also the refer
ence to the same matter in the letters
of Messrs. Pridham Nellis and Nc
Cabe.
"In the recent appointment of
Messrs. Calvert and Marsh as members
of the highway commission neither the
advice nor approval of the advisory
committee was sought, and this COM
mittee hereby desires to go on record
as protesting against the method in
which such appointments were made,
which proceedings it declares to be
fiagrant violation of the solemn pledges
given to the people by the three super
visors who voted for these appoint
ments, Messrs. Eldridge, Nellis and
McCabe.
"We believe that your honorable or
ganizations are sufficiently familiar
with the history and the work of the

manifest indisposition of the majority
of the board of supervisors to abide
bv the terms of the resolution creating
this committee, and their reluctance to
submit their proposed acts to TINS
committee for review and approval, Is
whether it will be for the best inter
ests of the public that this commit
tee shall disband or continue IN ex-
istence. to the end that it may safe
guard the peoples interests so far as
possible with it's lack of power and
limited influence with the board of su-
pervisors.
''If the board of supervisors will not
voluntarily seek the advice OF this
committee, in accordance with the
terms of the resolution creating II, the
committee has no means OF FORCING
it's advice or suggestions upon the
board.
ITO continue in office under such cir
cumstances seems futile and affords
onnortunity for the supervisors to
shield themselves behind this commit
tee in order to escape responsibility for
possible wrongful or unpopular acts in
connection with the expenditure of 3d.
5000 on the improvement of the
highways. By resigning, the RESPONSE
biiity would be placed directly and en-
tirely upon the members OF the board
rilv would hold them directly account
able.
Are Obligated to Public
"On the other hand, the members of
this committee, by accepting appoint
ment thereon have assumed an obliga-
tion to the people to safeguard their
interests that cannot be lightly re-
garded or easily cast aside. Without
taking into account our personal pref
erences and inclination to be relieved
Of a disagreeable duty, will the inter-
est of the public best be conserved by
this committee remaining in active
service, even If 1t can do nothing more
than publicly express its approval or
disapproval of the action of the board
of supervisors after such action has
been taken and when such expression
will prove Intellectual in preventing
mistaken or wrongful action?

EIdrIdge Makes Statement

The advisory committee specifically
charges that the recent appointment of
Martin G. Marsh and j. w. Calvert on
the highway commission was made
without consulting the committee. This
is as specifically denied by "Tus" Ed
ridge, the head and front of the solid
three supervisors.
I'VE saw by The Herald this morning
that the advisory committee would is
sue a statement and we have waited
around all day to receive it, naturally
supposing that If any kick is to be
made it would come to the board of
supervisors" said Mr.. Eldridge late
yesterday afternoon. Now we find
that it went to the civic bodies That's
not the place for 1t.
"The trouble with the advisory COM
mittee Is that the members are trying
to crawl from under; they think they
can do 1t by passing the buck UP to
the civic associations. 1t is not true
that the board of supervisors ignored
the advisory committee in making the
appointments to the highway commits
sion. About two weeks ago the board
met with Messrs. Blanchard, Fleming.
Beveridge and Farley of the advisory
committee and these gentlemen vera
notified that appointments were about
to be made. Whether they took the
matter up with the rest of the COM
mittee I do not know, but there was
ample time for the committee to make
recommendations.

Says Alliance Was Disgrace
Finally the board got tired of wait
ing for the advisory committee to do
anything and went ahead with the
business. The committee was urged to
act by the supervisors, but did nothing.
If the members of that advisory COM
mittee had as much ginger as the su
pervisors they would accomplish more
than they do.
1--WE disgraced ourselves by having
anything to do with them, and would
have been better off if we had ignored
them, as they say we did"
The statement of the advisory COM
mittee is given In the following letter,
forwarded yesterday to the associations
addressed:
LOS Angeles, Cal, July 10, 1909
ITO the Board of Directors of the
Chamber of Commerce, the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton, the Municipal League, the Good
Roads Association and the Members
of the Board of Public Works:
Gentlemen: The undersigned, mem
bers of the advisory committee appoint
ed by the board of supervisors to act
In an advisory capacity to both the
board of supervisors and the highway
commission in the matter of the con-
struction of a system of good roads in
Los Angeles county, and holding such
appointment by virtue of our official
connection with your various honor
able organizations, appeal to you for
advice and instruction in the crisis
that has arisen between the board of
supervisors and the advisory commit
tee.
Advice Asked For
TN the face of the evident disin-
clination of majority of the board of
supervisors either to seek or accept
the advice of this committee and their
willful disregard and violation of the
plain terms of the resolution creating
this advisory committee, the members
hereof feel that in justice to them
selves they should not longer be COM
PEELED to remain in the equivocal posi-
ton before the public which they now
occupy.
"Feeling as we do that a majority of
the members of the board of ,supervis-
ors are unfriendly to the committee and
studiously follow a policy if ignoring
its functions and it's advise, our person.
al inclination is to tender our resigna-
tions to the board of supervisors and
disband as an advisory committee.
From such action we are deferred
only by the fact that the people of Los
Angeles county approved the issuance
of $3,500,000 worth of bonds for the per-
manent Improvement of the highways
with the distinct understanding that all
the acts of the board of supervisors
and the highway commission lin con-
nection with such road improvement
would be submitted to the advisory
committee for approval, and that mol
final action would be taken unless the
same should first be approved by this
committee.
"The bonds having been voted with
this distinct understanding, the tax
payers who authorized the issue look to
the members of this committee to carry
out to the best of their ability the re-
sponsibilities which they assumed iii
accepting such appointment.
"The question for determination, inI
view of all the circumstances. theI

BITLER ESCAPES.
Murderer Convicted Here Last March, Sawed
Out OF Reno County Jail Tuesday
Mint

| NIgnI.
Sam Bitter. who was brought from
Kiowa county to Dodge City for trial
on charge of numbering Mrs. Rosen
berger, and who was convicted in
the district court here last March,
escaped Tuesday night from the Reno
county Jail at Hutchinson. Bitler
was sentenced by Judge Finley, aud
had life service in the penitentiary
ahead Of him, unless his attorneys
could secure a rehearing OF the case.
At Hutchinson it is thought that
Bitler's friends furnished him tools
for saving out Of Jail, and that he
will be furnished funds, and assisted
in getting out Of the country. There
seems to have been some carlessness
on the part Of the jailor, in allowing
peonle to see Bitler, and taking
things to him. Other prisoners in
the Jail say that Bitter had saw in
his cell for some time, and they think
that he even had agun hidden away
in the Jail.
Bitter left note in which he
claims that no one helped him to get
out Of the Jail, but he must have had
help.
The Reno county sheriff writes
here that Kiowa county will offer
large reward for Bitter, at least
$4,000. 1t cost Kiowa county over
Sc, 900 to convict him.

Reports are Coming In Of Good Yields Wheat
Practically Made and Price Sure to be
High.

Reports are Coming In Of Good Yields Whe;
| Practically Made and Price Sure to be
High.
Reports are coming in from differ
ent parts Of the county on the prob
able wheat yield. The grain is prac
tically made. and some Of it can b
pretty closely estimated at this time
H. M. Speer, from east Of Wright,
in town Tuesday, reports wheat con
ditions in his vicinity excellent. He
believes his crop will yield from II
to 30 buehels per acre.
D. O. Rinehart. south Spearvillt
township was in town Tuesday and
said some Of the wheat in his locality
was the finest ever seen there and
thinks bis neighborhood will have an
average crop Of 15 bushels.
WIN. Perkins, southwest Of Spear
vile, has 200 acers Of wheat which
experts believe will yield 80 to 35
bushels per acre.
Henry Smith has large field Of
wheat in Royal township which is
said TO be about the best ever
grown in the county.
Wheat is sure to sell for a high
price. The man who has 10 bushels
to the acre this year, will cell it for
as much as he could sell 20 bushels
for some years, and the fellow that
has 20 to 30 bushels per acre will sell
his crop for enough to pay for the
land it is grown on. There are
places in the county where the wheat
is very light, but there will be fair
crop generally in the county, and a
big crop in some localities.
