Pensions as Charity and as Reward.

Pensions a. Charity and as Reward.
Plans to alleviate the pecuniary
stress of INDECENT age generally meet
with approval. But there is string
tied to this approval. for 1t makes the
condition that only the deserving shall
be put on the roll. This is a well nigh
impossible task, for the thriftless and
lazy are never thriftless and lazy when
1t comes to boring for money they
never have earned. On the other hand.
the deserving are sensitive and mod
est, leaving it to others to determine
their merits.
INDECENT old age has strong claim
for relief. because old age Is in itself
good evidence OF having lived useful
life. Civil servants and the mass Of
tollers who have passed long. lives in
the same occupations have additional
claims. Constancy deserves reward
because the trained worker is more
useful to the government and to So
ciety than one who Is continually shift
ing in search Of an easier or more lu-
crative job. The principle followed in
industrial insurance and In the pension
systems of labor unions aims to re-
ward constancy in employment The
worker who stays in the game will be
taken care of, but he cannot shirk a
share in the responsibility which the
pension system puts upon others in his
behalf.

PROSECUTION SCORES
TWICE OVER HERMANN
GOVERNMENT SHOWS DEFEND
ANT APPARENTLY LIED
Prisoner Admits He Was Guest of oil
Men in California Following Ex-
tensive "Scrppine" in Petro-
leum Districts

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 4.-The three
days cross-examination of former Con-
gressman Binger Hermann, who is on
trial charged with conspiracy to de-
fraud the government of public land,
ended today.
The prosecution scored twice during
the session. The first instance was
after Hermann had made the assertion
his acquaintance with B. F. Allen, SUI
perintendent of the California forest
reserves, was purely official.
Prosecutor Heney introduced a num-
Der of letters which Hermann admitted
he had written to Allen and which in
dicated an apparent intimacy between
them.
The second occasion was Hermann's
admission he had toured the California
oil fields in the private car Of oil men
as their guest.
This event occurred some time after
it had come to his knowledge that
there had been ''scripping" going on In
the California oil districts.
Under his own counsePs questioning
Hermann testified he had never known
f. P. Mays and Willard N. Jones to
cast a vote for him.
The prosecution claims that Her
mann Joined Mays and Jones, both OF
whom were members of the legislature,
in the Blue mountain conspiracy in or
der to secure their political support in
his ambition to become senator.

MYSTERIOUS WORK GOING ON
IN WEST SECTION
FOREMAN AT OCEAN VIEW AVE.
is NoN-coMMITTAL
Los AngeIes-Pacific Railroad Company
Believed to Be Responsible
for Sudden ActiV-
lty

That the Los Angeles-Pacific Railway
companys proposed subway through
the hills west of the city to Vermont
avenue is about to become a reality is
the belief of residents in the vicinity
of Ocean View avenue and Park View
street. A construction gang with big
drilling machine was at work all day
yesterday, drilling test holes in the top
of the Ocean View avenue hill, and
those familiar with the topography of
the country in this vicinity cannot be-
lieve that the work is being done for
any other purpose than for the subway.
The foreman of the construction gang
would not say who he was working for
or why he was drilling holes when seen
by reporter yesterday Earlier in the
day, however, a resident of this district
was told by workman that it was his
opinion this was the preliminary step
toward building the subway. He point
ed out that there was no hope of strtk-
ing oil or water in this location, and
the holes could be of no value for any
thing else, unless they were tests for
tunnel sites.
The drilling is being done within one
block of the line of the proposed sub
way. According to General Manager
r. p. Sherman of the railroad company,
1t Will run approximately uluer olAIh
street as far out as Vermont avenue
The vacant lot where the drillers are at
work is just one block from this line.
The subway, when constructed, VIII
run from the present Hill street Los
Angeles-Pacific depot west under Sixth
street, through the hills to Vermont
avenue and from there to the coast.
1t will be double-tracked throughout
and up-to-date in every particular. 1t
is estimated that third of the time
between Los Angeles and the coast will
be saved by it and much new territory
opened I'D for residence purposes.

thorIty on Subject

Acting Chief of Police Charles e.

matrimonial bureau at police head
quarters. He received a letter yester-
day from r. Ford, said to be a guest
at the Lankershim hotel, and prob
ably wealthy, requesting that the chief
help him find a comely wife.
Ford intimates in the letter that
he thinks Dixon is an authority on
such matters. Dixon says he would
rather have Ford refer to a matri-
moniaI agency, but that nevertheless
he will help Ford out in this case and
will be glad to receive any letters
from "refined young ladies' who
would seriously consider Ford as
matrimonial prospect.
Ford's letter reads as follows: Chief

EAST HOLLYWOOD IS
KNOCKING Ar DOORS
THREE THOUSAND MORE ASK
TO ENTER CITY
District Wishing Annexation Is Key
Between Los Angeles and
Beauties of Griffith
Park

East Hollywood, 1.-THE Key to the
situation" is beginning to knock IN
sistently at the doors of Los Angeles
for admission. The annexation election
will be held February 18, and from
present indications there will be prac-
tically no opposition either on the part
of Los Angeles or residents OF the sec
tion seeking admission.
There are about 5000 inhabitants in
East Hollywood, and the assessed Valu-
alton Is in the neighborhood of $SOO0,-
900. Two schools and no debts are
among tho good points urged by the
committee in favor of annexation. All
city officers of Los Angeles are also
urging annexation because East HoiIy-
wood is looked upon as the only loglcal
solution to the annexation problem at
present. 1t is bounded on the east by
Hoover street and Sunset boulevard,
on the west by Center street and Nor
lnandie avenue, on the north by Grlf-
fifth park and on the south by Holly
wood or Prospect boulevard.
On all sides Of East Hollywood there
is the city of Los Angeles. In fact, II
is impossible to leave East Hollywood
without walking into Los Angeles since
Hollywood became part or the CITY.
Griffith park belongs to Los Angeles,
but unfortunately Los Angeles has no
direct entrance to the park because 1t
is not contiguous to the city. Just be-
yond Griffith park there are 1900 acres
of land which the city expects to use
as a municipal farm.
One Of the really great reasons for
annexing the East Hollywood territory
is that it will include the Los Angeles
riverbed at point vital to the sue
cessful control of the aqueduct. Will
liam Mulholland, chief engineer of the
adueduct, is strongly in favor of the
annexation for this reason. The harbor
commissioners have indersed the an
nexation because residents of East
Hollywood, practically all of whom
own their homes, are a unit in want
ing the harbor improvements and
power bonds voted at the special cleo
tion March 26. The chamber of COM
merce executive committee has in
dorsed the annexation unanimously.
The annexation committee for East
Hollywood is composed of l.. A. New
man, chairman; E. II. Eskew, secre-
tary; r. B. Bowles, treasurer; Hugh
Wooten, w. Z. Bowles, G. H. Rein
hardt. W. A. Colwell and Harry Ben

Reports of three robberies were re-

from the cash drawer.
F. D. Haddock of Florence brought
the third report. His home, he said,
was entered during the absence of him
self and family and jewelry valued at
1890 was stolen. Haddock told the
sheriff he believes he knew the iden-
tity of the thieves, and he was sworn
in as a deputy and told to arrest the
suspected persons.
The investigation into the postoffice
robbery at San Fernando was turned
over to Postoffice Inspector Wilson,
while Deputy Sheriff Harry Wright
was given the work of tracing a horse
and buggy taken from a livery stable
by the thieves after the robbery.
