Police of New York Believe Bodies
of Would-Be Bank Robbers
Are Under Caved

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-The twenty
laborers who yesterday uncovered the
body of Isaac Finkelstein in the Lud-
low street tunnel, which he had dug
with a view to reaching the millions OF
the Fourteenth street bank, We're back
at their work again this morning, for
the police are not satisfied that the
tunneler was alone when he met his
death.

others in the plan to rob the bank, and
the nearby jewelry store, and one or
more of the confederates they think
may nave oerished with Finkelstein in
the cavein.
SO today the police ordered the work
taken up where the department of
buildings left it yesterday. Finkel-

His Reelection
tAssoclated Pressl

KANSAS CITY, Jan. S.-More than
600 Missouri Democrats gathered at
Convention hall here today in "har-
mony conference"
Most of the leaders of the party in
the state were on hand and the spirit
of all the speeches was missouri
Must Be Redeemed"
"Cannonism" and "Aldrichism" were
denounced.
Three of the speakers-James A.
Reed of Kansas City and former Gov
ernors David R. Francis and Joseph
w. Folk-are regarded as candidates
for the United States senate to sue
ceed William Warner, Republican,
whose term expires on March 8, 1911
and at the informal conferences held
before the big meeting was called to
order the race for senator was dis
cussed freely.
The Ballinger-Pinc episode was
injected into the gathering when
Champ Clark, minority leader in the
house of representatives, said in an
interview:
"The dismissal of Pinchot is one of
the first steps in Roosevelt's candid
acy for the Republican nomination for
president. And if Roosevelt runs for
president ii will be the hottest fight
that has taken place in Republican
convention since Grant was defeated
in the dog days of $780,"
Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, CHAIR
man of the national Democratic COM
mittee, who had been invited, sent a
letter of regret.
Former Governor Folk in his ad-
dress this afternoon said in part:
Nations Great Fight
1.-THE great fight in this country
TODAY is to euualize the distribution of
wealth. There is a growing demand
for protection for the people against
monopoly instead of protecting mo-
nopoly against the people. The only
purpose of the protective tariff is to
stihe competition.
"The Democratic party should take
a clean-cut stand against the system
of protection. NO protection for mo-
nopoly' should be the battle cry in the
next campaign. :.
with Cannonism and Aldrichism IN
control of the legislative machinery OF
fine national government directing
marty politics, suppressng reformative
measures, blocking every movement IN
tbe interest of the people, making
snort of-representative government, in
solent with power, defying public opin-
ion and planning further to serve the
snecial interests, there is picture that
should alarm every patriotic Amerl-
can"

MANIA, CRUClFIES SELF
Young Woman Is Found by Mistress
with Feet and Left Hand Nailed
to the Boards of Her
Bed

ROME, Jan. S.-A servant girl in
Turin became possessed recently of a
religious mania. The woman who en-
ployed her found her crucified.
The girl, after placing thorns on her
head and inflicting severe wound on
her chest, nailed her feet and her left
hand to the boards of her bed and
passed the night suffering excruclat-
ingly from her self-infifcted tortures.
When found she was unconscious.
She was taken to a hospital in a criti-
cal condition.
She said that out of love for Christ
she voluntarily crucified herself. Her
reason, she said, was she wished to
share Christ's sufferings.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Although Lewis

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The Grand Opera
House company and number of other
downtown playhouses brought suit in
the superior court yesterday to enjoin
the city from enforcing the ordinance

NEED FOR SHARP EYES

Editor Herald:Tn your issue of today
is a statement of the case of a friend
less lad and what happened to him be-
calse he was poor and friendless. NOT
having the money to put up at the
Lankershim and rot knowing ABOUT n
nossible shelter at the Salvation Army
or at Bethlehem, he actually climbed
into a box car to sleep, and for this
heinous crime he was promptly arrested
and Jailed by one of our ever vigilant
police. and then left in a Jail cell
twenty-eight days without hearing.
Your reporter does not say, but l sup
pose they must have given him some-
thing to eat. He does say that
sharp-eyed matron found him at last
and brought about his release. l
wouldn't have thought of calling her
sharp-eyed after her taking twenty
eight days to find him, but maybe she
was. Perhaps the cell was in dark
corner somewhere! But, say, what's
the matter with us, anyway? Are we
short of common sense or common nu-
manity, or both? l suggest 1t might be
a good idea for The Herald to send
around a "sharp-eyed" reporter quite
often to look after such things. There
might be some more little boys, or even
men, tangled up in idiotic red tape.
Don't you think so? 1 feel out OF
patience with the press sometimes TOT
it's prying idle gossip about citizens
priyate affairs, but in matters pertain
ing to public welfare and in running
public business we need constantly the
| light that only the honest, independent
press can give. I believe The Herald
to be that kind of paper, and am
not a Democrat. either, though I vote
for individual Democrats often, and In
| tend to next time! w. u. Z.

modated.
The Yosemite valley and Mariposa
big tree grove will be made accessible
to visitors by rail, both summer and
winter. Railway facilities will also be
enlarged for accommodating visitors
to the Grand canyon Among the
various other great attractions will be
the fully extended Mount Lowe rail-
way, which has been one of the great
est advertisements of Southern Cali
fornia and will be still more so when
the road is extended to the summit of
Mount Lowe and the new fireproof OBJ
seryatory built there to contain the
instruments. The largest searchlight
in the world will cap one of the higher
peaks which will at night light all the
incoming and outgoing trains and
throw its rays for 100 miles around.
1t is believed that this road will also
he extended to the great Carnegie OBJ
seryatory on Mount Wilson, which Is
already one of the most extensive in
stitutions Of its kind and will be con-
tinually added to.
The early work of the Lowe observa-
tory under DR.. Louis Swift, who dis
covered over 300 nebulae and seven new
comets, so attracted the attention of
the astronomers of the world that
many medals of honor were bestowed
upon Dr. Swift and the institution. 1t
was to this early work that Southern
California is indebted for the establish
ment of the Carnegie observatory un-
der the management of one of the most
able astronomers of the world.
These two observatories operate on
entirely different lines, and, therefore.
one does not duplicate the work Of the
other. The last observatory does high
ly scientific work where the public can
not be admitted generally without in
terferinG with it's operations, while the
Lowe observatory, with it's astronomi-
cal instrument which Alvin Clark de-
clared was the finest he had ever made,
will be supplemented by at least six
smaller instruments more suited for the
use of laymen and which will admit of
a half dozen lines of spectators where
they cannot only see but have fully
explained what they see and where to
look for interesting heavenly bodies,
making this observatory an education
al feature of the people generally.
With all the attractions named above
together with the exposition, it is not
strange that all who can reach Cali
fornia will be here on that occasion.
This whole country wants to see and
know more of California. Not only
this country. but many other countries
are interested in this great state. which
is proving the marvel of the world.
The United States government and, of
course, the people who want to visit
California more than any other spot,
are more interested in encouraging this
great exposition than any other sec
tion of the country There is not a
single city where one hundredth part
of the attractions can be found to in
terest people, outside of the exposition
itself; therefore the talk of New Orl-
cans, or any other eastern or western
city, would be mere folly.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

~ OUTHERN CALIFORNIA has been
occupying place very near the
~ center of the worlds stage during
/ the past fortnight. The horrors of the
Times disaster had hardly ceased to
hold prime place in the columns Of the
newspapers and give us the most un-
desirable publicity we have ever suf-
fered when red revolution began to re-
yolve in Portugal around Henry 7.
Gage of this city, the United States
minister to that country. AS Mr.. Gage
read the dire news from home and then
began to see a dynasty tumbling
around him he might have been par
doned for wondering if the foundations
were being kicked out from under
things everywhere.
Next came celebrity of a pleasanter
sort Walter Brookins, a former Los
Angeles boy, who has come to be looked
on as the premier American aviator, es-
tablished a new worlds record for en-
durance flights by his trip from Chi
cago to Springfield Now that record
has been superseded by another, made
| by Arch Hoxsy, a former Pasadenan,
who flew from Springfield H., to Clay
ton, Mo, taking the worlds honors for
sustained flight distance of 104 miles.
The science of aviation owes much to
these dauntless young men and South
ern California is proud of them.
Both of the aviators are in the serv-
ice of the Wrights and this is as good
place as any 10 say that while the
Dayton inventors of the aeroplane let
others have a clear field for fancy fly
| ing and spectacular stunts" they
come along regularly with the perform
ances that are establishing the air
motor as a practical serious device of
| the future. The Wrghts and their
fearless young mon from Southern
California are adnering To a course
that may let others momentarily dim
their glories, but in the end will estab-
lish them in the minds of an intelligent
country as the men pre-eminent over
all others In the new science.

MYSTERY EXPLAINED

n EADBRS of The Herald, and es-
X pecially Democrats, were amazed
AZ yesterday to find the following
paragraph printed as what is known
in newspaper parlance as a filler on
page 70;
The insurgency movement is
not going to hurt the Republican
party. 1t will help it. rather. 1t
will result in a much needed
cleansing and an awakening along
lines that needed new ideas and
new blood. 1t will also, in the end,
get rid of some undesirables. who
will go to the Democratic party
where they belong.
For this amazing utterance and its
appearance in The Herald we are in
debted to our unfortunate morning
contemporary, the Times, to which
newspaper the hospitality of The Her
aid has been extended since the eX-
plosion destroyed the plant of the
former. The result has been more OF
less confusion in the crowded compos-
ing room of The Herald.
The foregoing paragraph, which was
the conclusion Of a political speech, OF
an insurgent candidate, had been re-
moved from a galley" of type and in
the confusion, instead of being thrown
away, inadvertently was placed on an
other galley" containing brief articles
which are kept in newspaper offices
for emergency papers and are tech
nicaIly known as filters"
We hasten to repudiate the senti-
ment expressed in the above para
graph and must crave indulgence for
any mistakes of similar nature that
may occur while The Herald force is
endeavoring to enable our contem-
porary to rehabilitate itself and at the
same time assist the Times to con-
tinue daily publication with as little
interruption and inconvenience to its
patrons as possible.

the army reorganization. which WASH

posts in the interior states and the

SEND THE SMALL SUMS

w HILE the fund for the relief of
w the families of the Times dead
has been steadily mounting to
good proportions it should be remem-
bered that more than score of homes
have been bereft by the assassins'
deed and a larger sum will be needed
than has yet been secured to give to
each the relief that rich and pros
porous city like Los Angeles ought to
extend. Divided among all the living
victims, the fund at present in hand
will be scarcely more than enough to
tide them over present emergencies.
Surely the people of Los Angeles
who live in comfort and have been
spared the dire experiences of crushing
grief and want combined mean to do
more than that. Subtracting the large
sums given to the fund, it is seen that
the general response has not been as
large as it should be. There ought to
be thousands instead of scores of con-
tributors in a city as large and pros
porous as this.
1t is quite probable that many who
cannot give large sums have been with
holding their offerings in the belief
that what they can offer will not be of
material aid to the fund. To such
The Herald wants to make it clear that
their cooperation is just what it asks
more than anything else. While The
Herald is not personally soliciting sub
scriptions, it is glad to be a medium
of such offerings to this charity. It
will gladly receive the gifts of mil
lionaires, but would rather turn over
$1,000 in dollars and dimes than in
large sums.
The newsboy who gave a dollar of
his savings to The Herald fund typified
the kind for whose sympathies this
paper is particularly glad to be the
medium. Let those, therefore, who
have hesitated to send in small sums
be assured that their offerings will be
as acceptable as the largest and do as
much to remove the stigma of the most
tragic misfortune that ever befell
Southern California.

any other section.
While the pittance that other parts
of the state will sustain in proportion
to the voluntary tax upon themselves
is so very small in proportion to the
benefits there should not be a
single vote against the method now
outlined for raising the balance of the
capitol necessary to make most COM

The continually growing prosperity

TOM PAINE DEFENDED

Editor Herald: Perhaps l may be
allowed to dot the rs and cross the
t's Of Peter Dale's letter where he
deals with Roosevelt, the historian.
Truly the latter did reverse the order
of things by all accepted standards,
when, in his Life of Gouverneur Nor
ris," he gIorifled that enVious, self
seeking and treacherous person, while
he vilified the truly great, wise and
ever self-sacrificing Thomas Paine.
Paine, the author of American inde-
pendence, the man who educated
Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and
the rest up to the first idea of separa-
ton; Paine, founder of the republic
of which Roosevelt later became an
accidental" president; Paine who in
vented that grand auxiliary to human
progress, the iron bridge; who was
Joint inventor with Fulton and Henry
of the steamboat; Paine who wrote
the immortal Common Sense" and
"Crisis" papers which more than any
thing else achieved the revolution. The
man who, though poor, gave his writ
ings (Which would have made him
vastly rich) to help the cause of free
dom; who incurred outlRwry by the
British --oernment, and the loss of his
patents and all other rights for the
cause of precious-but, alas! ungrate-
ful-h man liberty. This was the man:
author, statesman, brave soldier who
vet hated war, philosopher whose
tender heart was concerned for dumb
creatures as well a. for humans, who
honored women and championed
childhood, who anticipated Lincoln,
Garrison and all other great liberators,
as . advocate of slave emancipation,
even as he anticipated the whole
school of modern humanitarian writ
ers on almost every theme of public
veal and policy-land naturalization
included. This was the man whom
Roosevelt has called a dirty little
atheist"
When the American constitution was
amaking, Paine had-and avowed-his
mlsgivings lest the evils of royalty
might tend to survive In presidency.
