AN OPEN CONFESSION

A millionaire who makes his home
in Philadelphia. in addressing a Chi
cago audience recently said. I'VE
can't get rich in a lifetime nova
days without robbing the people. I
have made my money that way, and
my firm is still doing it. However,
have begun TO recover my con-
science, and | am going to devote my
swag to doing away with the cursed
system which makes it possible.
That is the case of Rockefeller,
too. and the case of Carnegie, and a
lot of others who are fixing the kind
of penance they shall do for the
wrongs they have uracticed upon the
people.
There is a part Of this millionaire
statement that is not literally true,
namely, that one can't get rich IN d
lifetime, but that depends altogt Their,
upon what is meant by the word
erich.
Of course, if it means acquiring
possession of millions it is true. (but
a man can be rich without nillions)
but he can't make millions in a life
time without stealing it unless he
takes it out of the earth. or finds it
in the sea.

The COMETS TAIL,

fernaps no question within the past
decade has 80 disturbed the scientists
of the country as has the question of
HALEY 8 comet and the probable and
improbable results that NAV occur
should the tail hit the terrestrial globe.
In discussing this interesting question
the christian Science Daily Monitor
says: There has been considerable
discussion and conjecture as to what
the effect will be when the tail of
Halley's comet shall, in the near
future, sweep this planet. The most
eminent men have assured US that
our existence will be in no ray dis
turbed. Camille Falmmarion, the
French astronomer, in his latest essay
on the subject. brings forward the
possibility of our behoIdlng a tailless
comet. He states that in 1886, on the
occasion of the last visit of HslIey's
comet, remarkable phenomenon
occurred. During It's perihelion pas
sage, which took place On Nov. l6,
the comett lost it's tail. 80 that when
it reappeared on the other side uf the
sun it had the appearance. of a round
nebulosity, without an appendage. and
it was only later, when it reached the
distance of the planet Mars, that a
new tail was turned. A popularity
of the tail IL that it does not follow
behind the comet in the course it is
taking but is projected in a direction
opposite To the sun.
AS for the head of the comet,
Astronomer Garrett p. ServIss says it
is probably solid, but not q single
body. H. thinks 1T likely that it
consists of multitude of solid parti-
cles, like a close packed mass of
mete0rs. The fact that many comets
are known to have turned into meteor
swsrms strengthens this probability.
The gaseous portion of the comet does
not condense into crystals because
there is practically no pressure exert
ed upon it in open space. The cold
there would no doubt be sufficient to
liquefy or solidify any gas, but exper-
iment shows that cold alone cannot
produce this transformation: there
must be great pressure also. To add
still further to the mystery Of the
comets composition. Berlin observer
says he saw the comet pass before
very pale star of the twelfth maEni-
tude without altering its light or culor.
If solid. the Ducleus must then be
transparent.

MOTHER OF AN ACCUSED
BURGLAR CREATES SCENE
Prays for Release of Son and
FaintS on Stairway

Hoyt Browns hearing on the charge
of insanity before Judge Willis of the
superior court yesterday was held to
the accompaniment of his mother S
fainting and calling upon the Almighty
to save her son.
His case was called in the morning,
but it was postponed until the after
noon. When the postponement was
announced his mother left the court
room in apparent mental perturbation,
and when the corridor was reached she
succumbed to her feelings.
Loudly praying that her son be not
sent to the penitentiary Tor the alleged
burglary of house at Sixth street and
Burlington avenue, she started down
the stairs, only to faint when she had
but half completed the downward jour-
ney.
Quite a little excitement eesulted
from her Inconsistencies, and contin-
ued even after she was revived and
led away by friends.
At the afternoon session, however,
she retained her self-possession very
well, and displayed no extreme emo
ton even when the jury decided that
her son was sane, despite her claim to
the contrary.
Browns record shows that he has
been in reformatories and penitentia-
ries since he was 16 years old. His al
legged insanity was supposed to have
resulted from his being locked in a
dark cell at an institution where his
mother once was employed.
Judge Willis set his trial on the
burglary charge for August 10.

Case Involves Shares of Night

ner, it's secretary, for the transfer of
1855 shares of stock in the institution
to his name.
Blue is acting as the agent of L. G.

institution $4,000. Blue also holds stock
which was pledged to the Pasadena
National bank and the Crown City
National bank for loans of $4,000 each,
The stock was sold after the institution
had failed in making payments.
Blue declares that if the transfer of
the stock is ordered by the court it will
result in new officers for the bank, as
the stock he holds will control the in
stitution.

.REDONDO LINE MUST
SECURE A FRANCHISE
City Attorney Asks Council fol
Instruction to Move in
the Matter

Declaring he mo longer disposed to
defer action against the Los Angeles
& Redondo Railroad company to force
1t either to secure franchise or stop
operating it's cars where 1t has none,
City Attorney Hewitt yesterday asked
the council for further instructions in
the matter. The council postponed
action until next Tuesday.
The Redondo railroad operates its
interurban electric cars over the tracks
of the Los Angeles railway on Grand
avenue, Seventh street and Broadway
to Second and Spring streets, where
it has a passenger station, but 1t mas
no franchise north of Slauson avenue.
This illegal operation of the cars has
been going on for years, but councils
have previously stood for it because
it was a convenience TO the travelling
public to have the cars operated TO
some down town point.
The fact that it has no franchise has
been used as q lever to secure five
cent fares as far south of Manchester
avenue, and the effort has been part
ly successful as five cent fares are
granted to Florence avenue and a 20
ride book as far south as Manchester
avenue can be purchased for 81. But
this arrangement is not satisfactory.
The board of public utilities has been
negotiating with the railroad officials
for a straight five cent fare and while
these negotiations have been pending
the instructions formerly given the
city attorney to proceed against the
railroad have been Cancelled for a
time.
The railroad has made the stipula-
lation that it will ask for a fran
chise before January l, 1911, or stop
operating its cars where it has no
franchise, but the city attorney does
not see the necessity of giving the
railroad further time.
