MAN GIVEN CHANCE
IS AGAIN ARRESTED
w. T. BROWN FACES CHARGE
OF EMBEZZLEMENT
Confessed to Stealing $40o from Enl-
ployer--Was Granted lmmu-
nifty and Permitted to
Go to Work

Having been offered an opportunity
to begin life anew, after confessing to
stealing money of his employer
amounting to $400 w. T. Brown
strayed from the path of honesty, and
as a result was locked up at police
headquarters last night charged with
felony embezzlement of $50 from C. c.
McClintock, proprietor of a market,
121 South Olive street.
Brown. who until year ago was
we'll and favorably known, lived with
his wife and child, 1908 Essex street.
At that time he was employed as coll
lector by Mr.. McCHntock, and is al
legged to have appropriated $400 of the
firms money and left Los Angeles for
parts unknown.
During his absence he communicat-
ed with Mr.. McClintock. and it was
agreed that no criminal proceedings
would be taken if Brown returned.
The conditions of his return and
promise of immunity were offered IL
Brown would resume work and restore
by weekly payments the amount OF
his alleged defalcation.
For the past several weeks Brown
acted as collecting agent for the Nc
Clintock firm, but Friday a report was
made to the detective department,
stating Brown had not appeared for
work and was $50 short in his collec-
tions His arrest followed and he was
locked up at police headquarters.

accomplishment, which is the party of
arduous deeds done and which is the
party of words and irresponsible oppo-
sition.
| only want one more word. From
time to time attacks are made on the
administration on the ground that its
policy tends to create a panic in wall
street and to disturb business. All 1
have to say upon that subject is this:
That certainly no one responsible for
a government like ours would foolishly
run amuck in business and destroy
values and confidence just for the
pleasure of doing so. No one has a
motive as strong as the administration
in power to cultivate and strengthen
business confidence and business pros
perity.
But it does rest with the national
government to enforce the law and If
the enforcement of the law is not con-
sistent with the present methods of
carrying on business, then it does not
speak well for the present methods of
conducting business and they must be
changed to conform to the law.
Thert was no promise on the part
Of the Republican party to change the
antitrust law except to strengthen 1t
or to authorize monopoly and a sup
preston of competition and the control
of prices, and those who look forward
to such a change cannot now visit the
responsibility for their mistake ON in
nocent persons.
OF course the government at WASH
ington can be counted on to enforce
the law in the way best calculated 10
prevent a destruction of public con-
fidence in business, but that II must
enforce the law goes without saying
l am glad to be present and meet
your distinguished governor, whose
name is such power before the people
of this state and of the country that
to lose him as a candidate for COVER
nor by his voluntary withdrawal is to
lose the strongest asset the Republican
party has in the state TO enable IL 10
win at the next election.

tains 1868 guest and 300 bath rooms and
occupies an area of 60x740 feet. The

VICTOR PONET INVESTS
$4,000 At SAN PEDRO
Plans for Harbor Highway Give
Boost to Realty Values
Along the Coast

SAN PEDRO, Sept. 1O.-The first
sales of real estate along the line of the
proposed harbor highway since the con-
demnation suits were filed by the city
attorney have been made. Capt. Victor
Johnson has sold to Victor Ponet of
Los Angeles a lot 45x125 feet on Second
street. fronting on both Beacon and
Front streets, for $10,5OO' Charles Men
Wig has also sold two small lots in the
same block.
Very few sales of real estate along
the line of the new boulevard have
been made in recent years on account
of the high prices at which lots are
held. At TimmS' point, where three
blocks are to be condemned for muni-
cipal warehouses, a lot was sold for
$4,000 a few years ago. Since then
very few lots have been on the market
at any price. Aside from the property
of the Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany and the right of way of the Pa
cifc Electric and Southern Pacific the
new highway will cross but six short
blocks of subdivided property, but the
city will probably have to pay a good
price for lots required in these blocks.
The announcement of plans for the
harbor highway has established more
staple value TO all inside property.
Around the outer harbor the old pro-
ject of cutting down the bluff and
grading streets from Pacific avenue
down to the water front has been re-
vived There is much talk of organ
izing an improvement district to do this
work, although no organization has
been perfected as yet.
The old project advocated for years
included about twelve blocks, but this
may have to be enlarged to meet the
requirements of the plans of the city.
No action was ever taken because of
the cost. It is estimated that it would
cost about $3.50 a lot to do the work.
1t is now proposed to cut down the
bluff by hydraulic process and use the
dirt on the Huntington and Minor fills.
A similar plan is proposed on Mob
hill on the north side of the city, Here
an organization was perfected several
months ago.

DESERT LAND At OTIS
OPEN FOR DEVELOPMENT
MANY Families Listed as Pioneer
Settlers in the New
Section

George Mendenhall and family of
Los Angeles left. last week for Otis,
in San Bernardino county. Mr.. Men
denhall goes to Otis in the interest
of ten other families who, with him,
have planned to locate on government
homesteads in the vicinity of Otis.
The colonists propose to commence the
cultivation of their ranches as soon
after the first rains as possible.
This is the first of a number Of par
ties who will locate on the desert, If re-
ports from there regarding the fertility
of the desert region and the water
possibilities are found by Mendenhall
to be well founded. On this trip Men
denhall will spend two weeks care
fully looking over Possibilities.
Mendenhall is an expert on water
sources and has drilled and dug hum
dreds of wells in the Downey and An
telope sections, and also in owens
river valley. He has acquired a
knowledge of water sources which will
prove invaluable in his present quest.
In an interview with Sun reporter
at San Bernardino Mr.. Mendenhall
said
"The first thing I shall ascertain is
whether we stand any show of getting
surface water, or rather If at so or $50
feet it is practical to develop a water
supply. If necessary to arrive at a.
conclusion 1 will drill a well, but I
do not anticipate that such an expense
will be necessary. I understand that
there are wells in and about Otis, and
from them I can form a fairly ac-
curate opinion of what the surround
ing region holds"
If his report is satisfactory land FL
ings will be made at once, and SMALL
temporary dwellings will be erected
on some of the homesteads. He expects
that before the spring many hundreds
of acres will be sowed to grain, which
will be the first large acreage, put in.
Later alfalfa will be sown, fruit trees
set out, and with the progress of wa
ter development permanent dwellings
and other structures will be built.
The inspiration of the colonists
comes from the big water development
scheme undertaken between Otis and
Daggett by the Holt-Tibbott syndicate.
It is understood that the engineers
employed by the syndicate have pro-
gressed steadily with the preliminary
surveys which precede the building OF
the immense irrigation system, and
the outlook seems bright for actual
work on the system before the new
year.
This project alone means the spend
ing Of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in the development of the agri-
cultural resources of the desert, and
with the f1ocking in of permanent
horneseekers who will make substan-
tiaI and costly improvements, vast
tract of what is now strictly desert
land, is to be added to the county's
productive column.

Important Land Deal Is Closed.

$4,000 ACRES FOR $1,250,000

The transfer of $4,000 acres Of rich
Colorado delta lands, just across the
international line in the republic of
Mexico, for a total consideration of
81, ,250 900, goes on record as one OF
the largest land deals lately negotiat-
ed in the southwest. The sale was
closed Saturday through the Title In
surance and Trust company, where
the property has been in escrow
number of weeks pending the verttica-
tion of title.
The $4,000 acres were held by the
Colorado River Land company OF Los
Angeles and were sold b ythis cor
poration to the Imperial Valley Land
and Irrigation company or Mexico,
with branch office in room 707 in the
Central building in Los Angeles in
charge of e. e. Easton, president of
the purchasing company. Associated
with Mr. Easton in this huge land deal
are John Cudahy, the widely known
packer of Chicago, and Robert Prln-
gle, a prominent member Of the Chi
cago board of trade.
The land asquired is near the Mex
lean town of Cocopah, on the line or
the Inter California railway and will
be developed at once on an extensive
scale, together with 100000 acres in the
same locality acquired by lease.
1t is the purpose of the Imperial
Valley Land and Irrigation company
to expend $2,OOO,O0O or more in sub
stantiaI improvements, for the building
of a canal to tap the Colorado river
two miles east of the east line of the
purchased tract, for the building of
| laterals to the canals, carrying water
to 1900 acres which will be planted
next year to cotton. Experts employed
by the new owners of the land have
found that Egyptian or Nile cotton
grows readily on the Imperial valley
land, producing two bales to the acre,
as against a half a bale to the acre
in the southland.
The company has directed that
scores of new buildings be erected on
the acreage for the comfort of the large

ployed in the agricultural and stock
