the installment of the large tank two years
ago it failed to make good. The company
later refused to accept the apparatus and suit
was brought in July, 1905 for about $95, 0C0
damages. This suit year later was with
drawn after the corporations had got together
and reached agreement to settle the liti-
cation out of court. The complaint filed
yesterday alleges that the Indiana concern
after final test failed to make the apparatus
satisfactory The great tank is in the city
supposed to be IN an uncompleted condition

federal court from Fresno.

CLEW TO MISSING GIRL
Elsie Palgrene Ran Away Several
Weeks Ago but Returned

No trace has been found of Elsie Palgrene.
IA years old, who has been missing from her
home, 1921 Wall street, since Monday morning
about o'clock.
She left her home to go to nearby
butcher shop to purchase some meat. When
she did not return after an hour her mother
went to the shop and discovered that her
daughter had not been there. Assisted by
friends, she then secured the neighborhood in
hopes of finding the child, but no one had
seen her. When she did not return home ill
the evening the mother appealed to the
police.
According to the detectives who have been
detailed on the case, the girl ran away from
home several weeks ago, but was returned
within a few days after by a woman friend

OLD Maud STATION To
Be FORCED Off STREET
Historic Depot Now Doomed to
Destruction to Make Room
for Double Tracks

Historic old Maud Junction station
has to go. There isn't room at this
point for the large crowds that gather
for Tom McCarey's garden fetes, so the
old station of the Southern Pacific has
to go. The council so decreed yester-
day, and ordered the city attorney to
prepare an ordinance carrying the idea
into execution.
The action was taken on the recon-
mendation of the board of public util-
tiles. This station is located in pub
lie street and the Southern Pacific
claimed it had right to plant its
station there. The city had another
notion and took the matter to the su-
preme court, and the supreme court
said the city was right, that the street
belonged to the city and not the rail-
road.
The board of public utilities finds
this a dangerous spot because the Los
Angeles railway has only a single
track at this point. In its report to
the council yesterday it told of several
bad accidents that had occurred at the
place. AS soon as the station is torn
down the Los Angeles railway will be
ordered to put in a double track and
adopt some other safety measures to
reduce the drain on the accident in
surance companies.

WANT To SWAP?' THEN
TELL IT TO THE HERALD
Anything from InIaid Snuff Boxes
to Real Estate to Be Found
in the Exchange Column
Do you want to swap?


Have you something. tucked away
somewhere, which is of no use to you,
but which the other fellow might put
to good advantage?
OF course you have; but perhaps it
never occurred to you that the object
was of any value.
Perhaps it's a pair of snowshoes you
brought with you from the east. They
are no good here. You've discovered
that, and you don't know what to do
with them.
Why not trade them off? You can
do it, If you want to. Lots OF people
think snowshoes make fine wall deco
rations for a bungalow. Lots of other
people really regard them as great
curiosities and would like to have a
pair. Perhaps those same people have
something they don't want and you do
THOSE LITTLE ADS
It's easy to find out. Just put little
"ad" in The Herald's new Exchange
column" You can telephone it in, If
you want to, and it will cost you only
10 cents. That's fair enough, isn't it?
Look on page 13.
Remember that baby carriage? Little
George is grown up now, and the car
riage is of no use to you. What Will
you take for it in trade? There are
other little Georges, you know, not SO
old as your own.
This exchange column is a new thing
in Los Angeles, and it's catching on.
Yesterday any number of things were
advertised, from a gold inlaid snuff
box, 200 years old, to real estate. The
list included shotguns, rifles, oil lands,
houses and lots-almost anything you
can think of.
THE SAME OLD GAMES
When you were a kid you used to
swap "unsight unseen" There was Il
pleasing mystery, a sort of fascinating
gamble, in that transaction.
Nowadays, of course, you'd prefer
to see the color of the other fellows
marbles before you make the swap;
Well, YOU can do it; and you'll find
the old excitement just as pleasant as
it ever was.
What have you to trade?
What do you want for it?
The Herald offers you an opportunity
to get what you want and to get rid OF
what YOU don't want. And it costs
only 10 cents.

CONSUL SUGGESTS BONDED
PORT FOR LOS ANGELES
Turn District Into One Big Ware
house, Is Urged

Consul General Robert Skinner calls
attention in his recent governmental
report to what he terms the adVant-
ages of bonded ports in the united
States" and points the way by Whlch
Los Angeles may rival the great har-
bor of Hamburg. He states that when
the Panama canal is thrown open to
the world, the port of Los Angeles by
its geographical position may become
the Hongkong of America, but to make
it the Hamburg of the new world would
be another and even greater STEP ne
declares, not at all impossible.
AS to what effect the opening OF the
Panama canal will have on the world S
commerce there is much speculation,
hut there can be no speculation, 1t is
claimed. as to what effect it will have
on the manufacturing development of
the Pacific coast. Mr.. SINNERS idea
of enlarging the American conception
of a bonded warehouse to include a
manufacturing district would give Los
Angeles all the advantages of a free
trade country without the city losing
any of the benefits of a protective
tariff

LAST CHANCE TO
Be IN BIG COUNT
Census EnumeratorS Will Finish
Stunt of TotaIing Los An
geIeS Tonight
WORK is THOROUGHLY DONE
Supervisor Farmer Says Helpers
Have Been Systematic in
Checking Inhabitants
Last call for the "uncensused."

Last call for the "uncensused."
The enumeration of the inhabitants
of Los Angeles will cease at midnight
tomorrow.
with the exception of call-backs to
secure data regarding persons who
have not been at home whom the enum
orators called" said Bert l.. Farmer
last night, II expect to have the city
completely cleaned up on Wednesday
evening. In spite of the fact that
some of the large cities have found it
necessary to secure an extension of
time to complete their count l feel that
no injustice will be done Los Angeles
by closing the census Thursday night.
Every person who has not been
reached by an enumerator is urged to
fill out and send in the coupon or tele-
phone in to my office the information.
If you have no telephone, mail the
coupon. 1t costs nothing to mail the
coupon and it will be ten years before
YOU have another opportunity to send
a letter through the mail without post
age. I feel safe in saying that not
more than one per cent of the popu-
lation will have escaped our count
when the census is closed. l feel that
l have been particularly fortunate in
securing a conscientious force of
enumerators, and the coupons and
telephone calls 1 have received have
given me a valuable check on their
work.
"In one precinct I received notices
that 50 persons had not been seen by
the enumerator, and knowing that the
person in question was very exact in
his work l made a personal canvass
of the precinct and found that of the
50 information regarding 80 cases had
been given by other parties without
the knowledge of our informant, and
the other two cases had been reported
to his inspector by the enumerator.
Another check I have put on the
work has been in the matter of vacant
hoSses. In the course of my expert
ence as supervisor of the school CEN
sus during the past eight years L have
found that an average of 100 families
each day move around from one house
to another in the city.
GAS the enumerators made their
rounds they have noted the vacant
houses in their precincts and on the
last day L will have each vacant house
so listed visited, so that any families
which move from in front of one
enumerator to territory already COW
cred by another will not be overlooked.
BY this method l think that several
thousand names will be added to the
rolls"
Population sharks are busy with
their pencils now, and all manner of
arguments are heard, from guesses
hazarded that the census figures will
show an increase to 100000 to statistics
compiled by the government ratios of
population to school cenSuseS and reg
istration, by which many persons prove
absolutely that Los Angeles has not
more than 275,O0O inhabitants. Mr.
Farmer points out however, that such
statistics are not reliable for a. grow
ing city like Los Angeles, where so
many persons come without families
or children, and where so great a por-
ton of the population is unable to reg
lister on account of not having been
in the state a year.

NO DEADBEATS LIVE HERE;
EVERYONE PAYS HIS TAXES

Despite the fact that only 96 per cent of the
taxpayers of Los Angeles county paid their
taxes last year, less than per cent are de-
linquent this year. according to Tax Collector
W. o. Welch's books. This, in view of there
being 50. 900, 900 less to collect this year. is con-

Tacoma Woman'S Complaint
Causes Police to Take
Action

NEW YORK, May 3.-It was a
strange story which Detective Callahan
told the police court today in describ-
ing the raid last night on the mystic
temple of ON" G youns man vino 10
entered on the police records as Pierre
A. Bernard, a native of India.
Om was arraigned on the charge of
abduction, after the detectives had
found him in a luxuriously appointed
house where he taught physical culture
and languages, surrounded by num-
ber of pupils, mostly young women.
Some of his girl pupils said Bernard
represented himself as a swami from
India.
NICE DOINGS
when 1 pushed open the parlor
door," Callahan testified at the hearing
today, Bernard was standing on "a
glass globe that was on a hair mat
tress in the center of the room. He
was going through some peculiar gyra-
tions. Five girls and several men, all
in bathing suits, were gathered around
him, trying to repeat the movements"
Miss Zela Hopp said she went to
Bernard's place last October and con-
suited him about a method of curing
her heart weakness. Bernard told her
she must come to the place and stay
for a time, which she did, first paying
him, she testified, fee of $100.
MAKES CHARGES
Miss Hopp told the magistrate that
Bernard had a peculiar influence over
her and that she believed he had hyp
Noticed her. She made grave charges
against Bernard.
While she was in the place she met
Miss Gertrude Levy of Tacoma, Wash,
another student" and when she got
out she thought she ought to advise
Miss Levy's sister, a Mrs. Hanford of
Tacoma, of what was going on. Her
letters brought Mrs. Hanford to New
York, and the two women complained
to the police.
Bernard was held in $4,000 bail.
