There is not room in the house
to be had we are full now and there
are a dozen or more registered before
you now
Yes, l might possibly get you a
place to sleep by day after tomorrow,
but really can't promise even that"
And the hotels of Los Angeles turn
from the travel-worn pleasure seeker
from the east to the line of still wait
ing pleasure seekers from the north
and south, and tell them the same
thing.
Yesterday was a record day in a
record year for tourists. At every
first class hotel in town the same cry
went up, NO rooms" Almost all the
registers had long strings of names on
them to whom no rooms had been
assigned. The managers of the differ
ent hostelries assert that the tourist
this year is not the "eome and go"
person of former years. This season
they stay in Southern California the
season through. For this reason it is
impossible to accommodate the pleas
ure seekers from the east as hitherto
by registering them and finding them
accommodations as soon as others
leave.
Not only are the larger hotels
crowded, but the smaller ones are
also running to capacity. Lodging
house keepers all over the city heard
many complaints from the new arri-
vals yesterday because they could not
secure places to stay Few of the
newcomers go to oother parts of the
state preferring to put up with a few
hardships in Los Angeles and Southern
California than to leaving

stuffed into her mouth, the woman
was unable to move or make an out
cry, and for some time lay helpless in
the dark closet.
Finally her son returned. Knocking
and kicking the door with her foot
and elbow, the mother attracted his
attention. Not finding her about the
place, the boy at once surmised it was
she who was pounding on the door, but
he could not find any key to fit the
lock, and tried vainly to open it by
other methods.
Removes the Door
Urged on by her groaning, the boy
finally procured a screw-driVer, re
moved the hinges of the door, and
lifted it out. His mother, still bound
and gagged, with her face covered
with blood and her hair disheveled.

and neighbors took up the robbers

his attempt to steal the automobile.

and the city detective force Will begin
a search for him.
Mrs. Thompson's condition last night
was somewhat serious, and it was
necessary to call a doctor. Owing to
her severe fright and nervous collapse,
she was unable to give an accurate
description of the bandit, but from
what the officers have learned it is
hoped they will be able to run him
down in Los Angeles.

STANTON CHALLENGED
BY FRESNO SOLON
A. M. Drew Wishes to Debate Japan
ese Question with Republican
Candidate for Gov
ernor

A dispatch received in Los Angeles
last night states that Assemblyman
A. NJ. Drew of Fresno, author of the
alien land bill in the last legislature,
has sent a challenge to p. A. Stanton
Of Los Angeles, Republican candidate
for governor, to debate the Japanese
question in the ten largest cities in the
state.
Mr. Stanton, when seen by a reporter
of The Herald last night, declared he
had not yet received the challenge.
When asked if he would accept it, he
replied:
Il have nothing to say at this time.
Wait until 1 have received Mr.. Drew's
letter and have considered the matter
carefully"
The report from Fresno states that
Mr.. Drew, in his letter to Mr.. Stanton.
predicates his challenge on the report
that Mr.. Stanton is to make his cam
paign for governor on his pro-Jap-
anese record. as Mr.. Drew expresses it.
When the dispatch was read to Mr..
Stanton he made no comment on the
reference to his "pro-Japanese record, ,"
and would neither deny nor affirm this
attitude.

SPECIAL POLICE RECEIVE
STARS FROM COMMISSION
Majority of Eighty-Six Consists Of
Watchmen and Corporation
Employees

Eighty-six men were commissioned
special policemen at the meeting of
the police commission last night.
All special stars had been called in
and all commissions revoked because
the specials had got beyond the control
of the police board. No accounting
of stars has been made for a number
of years and some of those who held
them have died, others have left the
city and taken their stars with them.
Applicants were required to appear
in person before the commission. As
they appeared a few questions were
hurled at them by the mayor in rapid
fire order and the mayor pronounced
them granted to avoid tedious delay
of roll calls.
Most of those who received stars
were night watchmen and employees of
corporations who find police power
necessary in their work. In most
cases the commission was glad to
grant these as the specials are practice
ally additions to the police force with
out added cost to the city. Applicants
had been thoroughly investigated by
Chief Galloway before being presented
to the commission for action.

land special train, known as the Cali
lornlan,' which makes the run in sew
enty-two hours from Chicago, is daily
bringing hundreds of colonists to Los
Angeles and arrives each day with
two or three extra coaches all well
filled with colonists.
The two southern routes are still the
only transcontinental lines open to
through traffic, and in addition to
handling an immense amount of mail,
diverted from the north, these lines
are kept busy handling the westward
rush of travellers.
The new special, the Californian, ''
which comes by way of Ell Paso, brings
colonists from all points in Illinois.
Michigan and northwestern states who
otherwise might come via Salt Lake,
ogden or Portland.
The first Californian" special car
ried five extra coaches and brought 2S3
passengers. Yesterday it carried ten
coaches and carried 800 passengers.
The Rock Island, it is said, is ex-
tensively advertising the colonists' ex-
cursions and is contributing largely to
the western influx.

querque, also Is bringing in several
hundred colonists daily and every Santa

tionally impaired, all the mail cars be-
ing stacked with postal matter divert
ed from other routes. Mail from east
ern Iowa. Montana, Minnesota, WIS
consin and eastern states yesterday
began to arrive in Los Angeles. Most
of it was diverted in Ogden because Of
the washouts and avalanches along
the Salt Lake, Oregon Railway and
Navigation and oregon Short Line rail-
roads.
Instead of coming here direct the
blockade between Ogden and San
Francisco necessitated sending the mail
the Shasta route, several hundred miles
out of the way. Much of the mail is of

ability of children in Los Angeles to
get into any high school of the city.

beautiful and most healthful location
possible. We need a high school
sorely"

meeting, urged that the people of the
east side awaken to their need and do
all in their power to bring about the
establishment of a school in Highland
Park at the earliest possible time.

attention to the difficulty that would
be encountered in securing the funds
necessary for the move. DR.. +. w.
Steddom of the school board said that

needed and expressed his belief that

would hardly justify the building of a
school there. Mrs. w. II. Waddell,
president of the Fifty-fourth Avenue
Parent Teacher association. spoke of
the great number of east side students
who are attending school at Los An

side in Los Angeles high and Poly
technic high. Frank Forbes and r.
