IRON September 20 to October l there will
= be in session in the city of Los Angeles
what should be made, if properly taken adj
vantage of by our business men and citizens, the
most important convention that ever assembled
in our city, We refer to the American Mining
Congress, whose members to the number of sew
erAl thousand, representing all the varied and
important mining interests of the country and
especially of the southwest, will gather here be-
tween those dates.
Los Angeles has had many conventions with
in its borders and probably will have many more.
1t has undoubtedly reaped advantages from all
of these meetings, because no man can become
acquainted with Los Angeles, its opportunities
and its environs without being made in measure
a missionary to advertise it abroad.
Also many who have visited Los Angeles as
delegates to conventions that have met here have,
attracted by its beauties and advantages, later
become citizens and added their means and eff
forts as a contribution to its great success.
At the same time no body of men have ever
met in the city representing business or inter-
est of any kind SO much of which should natural
ly, by geographic location and lines of communi-
cation, become subject to and centered in our
city as of the business represented-by the Ameri-
can Mining Congress.
Much of the larger part of the mining for
precious and semi-precious metals of the United
States is conducted in our southwestern terri
tory This territory, by existing lines of COM
munication, should nearly all be subject to and
its interests center in the city of Los Angeles,
The business interests of any center of the min
ing industry are especially fortunate for the
son that that industry represents actual cash in
such large volumes. The products of precious
metal mines are cash, and the products of semi
precious metal mining are readily and constantly
being turned into cash. The results of mining
are not like the results of agriculture which ac-
crue once season. They represent constant
daily production of wealth which goes into the

by the officials of the Isaacs-Wo oodbury
Business college for the guests who at
tended their informal reception held at
the colleges rooms in the Hamburger
building last evening.
The guests were received in the coll
lege's reception room, which had been
artistically decorated in red carnations
and greenery, from which they were
escorted by the reception committee to
the main study room, where the Jennie
Musso orchestra entertained with many
musical selections, and the Ellis quar-
tet and members of the Davis School

TEN TONS OF ICE
REQUIRED TO CAR
Citrus Fruit Shippers Show That
Preceding Saves Much of
Refrigeration Cost
RESULT OF TESTS TABULATED
Five Hundred Defendants in Case
Now Being Heard by Com
missioner Prouty
RESULT OF TESTS TABULATED

Less than ten tons of ice are re-
quired for preceding and refrigerating
a car of citrus fruit from Southern
California to the east, according to evil
dence given yesterday before the in
terstate commerce commission, meet
ing in Los Angeles.
That evidence was in line with the
assertions made at the meeting held
here last spring, when growers said
quired and the representatives of rail-
roads declared the requisite amount
was sixteen tons.
That less than ten tons are required
was asserted as the result of actual
tests made on 769 cars by the Santa Fe
railroad. Tests on 112 cars on the Og-
den route, partly estimated, showed
that a little more than twelve tons of
ice were averaged to the car.
PRE-COOLING SAVES FRUIT
That preceding saves large amount
of fruit shipped to the east was also
stated in the evidence, very little decay
being found In fruit sent In that man
ner, while out of 5201 cars refrigerated
in the ordinary manner, 284 arrived at
their destination with the fruit in a
decayed condition.
This evidence is expected by the
growers to be largely in favor of their
$62.50 to Chicago and adjacent points
declared unjust It also is hoped that
it will influence the commission to
agree with the growers, who are rep
resented by +. e. Matthews and ]. H.
e. A. F. Call. that the railroads have
no right to exact icing charges from
them when the fruit has been preceded.
Results of tests, tabulated as agreed
upon by both the growers and the ship
pers, were presented by Earl Dezelle.
His figures on the amount of ice re-
quired for preceding cars related to
those shipped from San Bernardino,
Pomona, East Highlands, Pasadena
and Los Angeles. He declared that pre-
cooling saves ton or more OF Ice to
each car.
FIVE HUNDRED DEFENDANTS
Defendants in the case in which evil
dence was given yesterday, the hearing
being before Charles A. Prouty, inter-
state commerce commissioner, In the
United States court room in the Tato
building, number more than 500.
To serve all of the defendants with
papers in the case required more than
four months, though such service could
be accomplished now in a day. This
change results from the work of Jo-
seph H. Call, who prepared an amend
ment to the interstate commerce law
providing that railways must have in
Washington an agent upon whom SER
vice may be made for them. Senator
IaFollette put the amendment through
congress.
Extraordinary interest is taken in the
hearing, growers from all over South
ern California and traffic and refriger-
alton managers from the railroads be-
ing in attendance.

HEALTHY TREES WILL Be
SUBJECT Of CONFERENCE
Well Known Citrus Growers and
Scientific Men Will Meet
at Pomona

How to cultivate healthy trees will
be the main subject that will come
up before the citrus growers conven-
ton at Pomona next Tuesday.
AS entomologists work out the in
sect problem and the growers the
treatment of the varied soils of diff
ferent localities, which seem to be the
two greatest problems and concerning
which, as yet, there seems to be no
set rules, ]. w. Jeffrey, state commits
sfoner Of horticulture, conceived the
idea of bringing together both sci
entists and practical growers in this
convention to discuss the matter.
Experience of the growers will be
compared and scientific men will give
their views, thus cooperating, and it
is expected that conclusions will be
reached that will help materially in
the cultivation of healthy trees.
The Pomona board of trade has an
nounced that 1t intends to give an
automobile trip through the valley
surrounding Pomona.
The following growers and scientific
men will read papers as indicated:

LOCATE WILL OF WOMAN
WHO LEFT $4,000 ESTATE
Claim Administrator Has Mis-
managed Property

The will of Marie Begon, who died In
1896, leaving an estate valued then at
100000 and now at 100000, has been To-
Gated in the probate department of the
superior court.
John Lapique, who says he is the
assignee of the claims of the surviving
husband, Antoine Begon, asserted the
will never had been presented in court,
but the locating of the instrument dis
proves his allegation.
Lapique has asked the court to re-
move Jeanne L. Geantit from the office
of administrator of the estate of Mrs.
Begon, who was her grandmother, on
the ground that the property was mis-
managed, but the action has been post
poned by Judge Rives of the probate
department of the superior court, pend
ing the result of a suit to quiet title to
the estate that now is pending in Judge
HerVey's department.

both legs, which were badly crushed in
an accident Wednesday at San Bernar-
dino, Charles G. Graham, 40 years old,

car passed over his legs, crushing them
so badly they had to be arputated.

CLAIMS WIFE IS TO BLAME

Him to Desert Navy

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9.-Blaming the
woman he married in San Francisco in
1908 for his downfall, w. c. Mair, alias
Billy Mansfield, in jail here on a
charge of swindling a Los Angeles
woman out of valuable jewelry, this
afternoon admitted he was a deserter

ed also that his brother is the private

ton, Mass.

coast in 1908 as chief electrician on
the battleship Alabama. He says he

was transferred to the supply ship
Arethusa. Eight months afterward,
he says, she induced him to desert from
the navy.
His statement was made to the sher-
ifr at the county jail but 1t is doubt
full IL he will be claimed by the navy
department until after he has been
tried in the civil courts. Mrs. Mair is
in jail and is blaming her husband for
the entire affair. 1t Is probable both
will be tried at the same. time.

TO ROB SALOON SAFE
Two Holes Drilled Near TumbIerS
on the Door

Another attempt was made Friday
night to open the safe in the saloon of
WaddeIl & Boyer at Seventh street and
Maple avenue, but as in the previous
attempt, made about three weeks ago.

An open transom over the front door
enabled the burglars to enter the build

been drilled in the outer door near the
tumblers of the safe, but the men were
evidently scared away before they
could force the door open.
The attempt was discovered yester-
day morning and reported to the de-
tectives Three weeks ago a futile at.
tempt was made to open the safe, the
thieves in that instance stealing $5

TWO HORSES BURNED:
HOMES THREATENED
Bucket Brigade Prevents Neigh
bors' Houses Taking Fire
from Truemen'S Barn

When the barn of James Truemen,
who lives a mile southeast of Bur-
bank, burned yesterday and two
horses confined in it lost their lives.
only the active work of bucket
brigade prevented neighboring houses
from catching fire. The loss is esti-
mated at $500.
The barn caught fire in some mys-
terious manner about 8 o'clock in the
morning, the heat OF the day and the
contents of the building being such
that the flames soon gained rapid
headway, and to extinguish them was
impossible.
Neighbors rushed to the aid of
Truemen, but 1t soon was found that
the fire was beyond control of such
meager apparatus as they had at their
command, and when the frantic horses
could not be taken from the building
to prevent their burning to death the
people turned their attentions to their
own homes.
Sparks from the barn settled upon
many a roof made extraordinarily dry
by the warmth of the last weeks, and
would have resulted in other fires had
the timely formation of bucket brig
ades not prevented it.
