5000 JOIN RUSH
FOR YUMA LAND
ORDERLY THR0NG ASSEMBLIES
IN BIG AUDITORIUM
Charles McCoiIister First Man Carry
ing Ticket to Reach Bureaus
Office in Chamber of
Commerce

Nearly 5000 persons assembled at the
Shrine auditorium from a. m. until
8 o'clock yesterday morning and re-
ceived numbered tickets emitting each
of them to a chance to file on one OF
the 173 farms to be opened for settle
ment in the Yuma reservation.
All night band of about 100 persons
waited in the doorways and various
retreats Of the auditorium, but were
prevented from forming line, and at
Z o'clock in the morning there were
1000 men and women of all ages crowd
ed against the entrances of the temple
waiting for the doors to open.
When finally the announcement was
made for them to enter and take seats
there was a sudden, but orderly rush,
and 2900 tickets were then distributed
to the applicants.
Several who said they were first on
hand received tickets whose numbers
ran high up into the hundreds, and
these not understanding the method
went away dissatisfied, but others who
drew numbers under 200 were elated.
In the crowd at the Shrine auditorium
were many, if not all, of the original
homeseekers who lined up nearly two
weeks ago on Broadway, in front of
the Chamber of Commerce, and who
later formed a line on Hill street,
thence moved to 326 West Second street.
Capt. A. j. Bradish and fifteen police
officers were present, but so orderly
was the crowd that their services
seemed unnecessary, and five minutes
after the doors of the auditorium
opened everyone who wanted chance
at the lands was seated.
When everyone was in and the hum
of conversation had died out the regis
ter of the Los Angeles land office,
Frank Buren,, announced the numbers
would be distributed, and while men
moved among the homeseekers, giving
away the tickets that entitled them
each to apply for 100 acres of land in
a promising agricultural region, he
made a speech, telling the prospective
entrymen their duties and advising
them of the qualifications eXacted by
the government. He explained that
the entries must be made between now
and March 19, and urged that since
they had their tickets there was no
need of a rush" He told of the
method of payment and said that $G5
an acre would be charged by the gov
ernment in installments covering a
period of ten years.
Rush for Land Office
Following the distribution of the
tickets at the Shrine auditorium a
grand rush was made for the land
office in the Chamber of Commerce
building, and nine street cars, backed

LAW STUDENT WALKS INTO
OPEN CAGE PIT
Freshman at U. of S. c. School, Son
of Santa Monica Family, Ex-
pires When Taken
to Hospital

Walking out of the well lighted room
in the law school of the University of
Southern California, 502 Exchange
building, Third and Hill streets, Lloyd
E. Pulham, 20 years old, member of
the freshman law class, entered the
darkened hallway and stepped in the
open door of the elevator shaft, thlnk-
ing the elevator was waiting for him
and plunged head foremost downward,
striking on his head at the bottom Of
the shaft, 70 feet below.
He was picked up several minutes
later and taken to the receiving hos
pital where he died in a few minutes
as the result of a fractured skull.
Young Pulham lived with his par
ents at 124S Eleventh street, Santa
Monica. He entered the law school
last September and was diligent
student.
Several students who emerged from
the school a a few moments after Pul-
ham left, entered the hall in time to
hear his groans. They noticed the
open door of the elevator shaft and
realizing that an accident had occurred
hurried to the basement and found the
young man lying unconscious and
bleeding profusely from his left ear.
The police We're notified and the
Young man was hurried to the recelV-
ing hospital. Just as he was placed
on couch he gave his last gasp and
died.
Frequently Open
Persons occupying offices in the
building stated that the doors to the
elevator shaft frequently were left
open and the fact that the fatal acel-
dent happened was not surprise TO
them.
The man in charge of the building
stated that the catch to the doors prob
ably failed to work and the doors re-
bounded when the elevator operator
slammed them together.
The body was removed to a local
undertaking establishment, where the
coroner will hold an inquest.
LLOYD Pulham was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. George Pulham of 124S Elev-
enth street, Santa Monica. He was 20
wears old, and one of the most popu-
lar young men of his home city. He
had lived with his parents at Santa
Monica for five years and last June
graduated from the high school at that
place with high honors. He was ac-
tive in school athletics.
Young Pulham leaves brother, John

Happy with the proper wives.

PLAN IS ON FOOT
TO SQUEEZE BRYAN
Nebraska Democrats Repudlato
Option Plank.

Omaha, Ncb., July 1S.-William j.
Bryan is to be completely crushed by
the Nebraska Democracy, is the word
which went out to the leaders OF all
counties of the state In which con-
ventions have not been held. Not a
single Bryan man is to be placed on
committees, regardless OF the instruc-
tions given the delegates by the
county conventions.
The poor showing made by Bryan
and his county option scheme In the
county conventions already held was
surprising to the insurgents, and they
have determined once for all TO rid
themselves of the "peerless leader"
The anti-county optfonists expected
victory, but not so overwhelmingly,
and the weakness displayed by Bryan
has made the opposition leaders bold.
To date Bryan has captured the
delegation from only a single county.
Efforts will be made in the counties
yet to hold conventions to prevent
the naming of a single Bryan sympa'
thizer In the convention itself. The
plan is that Bryan be not placed upon
single committee. that the time of
the great speech which he is expect
ing to make be cut to the minimum,
and that while no actual discourtesy
be shown him, yet that he receive
scant attention from the convention.
Three'fourths OF delegations so far
are anti-Bryan. Republican conven-
tions already held show that the Re-
publican state convention will declare
for county option. With the Demo
cratic platform declaring against the
plank which Bryan says is the great
paramount moral issue, and the Re-
publican platform carrying plank
standing for exactly what Bryan has
been fighting Tor. the question natur-
ally arises, will Bryan stand for the
Democratic platform or will he work
for the election OF the state Republi-
can ticket this fall?

Rv limited Press Wire.

Washington, July 1S.-Republican
leaders are already at work on a plan
to prevent an increased representation
in the house from the South under
the new census, and 1t is predicted
here today that the membership of
the house will not be more than 41O.
1t is 391 at present.
The new census will show many
important changes, and the politicians
are ready to meet and make use OF
every available advantage. II is ex-
pected that the ration of representa-
ton will be about 100000. Prognosti-
GATORS figure that the South, not
counting Delaware and West Virginia,
will, show a population of 29,OOOOOO.
If this is correct, at the ration of 22O,-
600 the South will have two more rep
resentatives in the house than at pres
ent.
A Republican leader stated today
that If the southern population should
exceed 29,0OO,00O the ratio would be
increased even IL some of the strong
Repbllcan sections in the North
should suffer.
The Republicans are worried over
Oklahoma. They fear that the pop
ulation of this new state will have In
creased enough to give her five or six
additional representatives. A big gain
| is expected in New York City, which
will rebound to the benefit of the
Democrats in the house, but the Re-
publicans contend that i'm the electoral
college that gain may go to them. If
| the Republicans can carry out their
/ al ~, loo TO nf hn nnN
census will be gained by New York,
| Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
| Ohio and Minnesota.
The Republican leaders argue that
the house with its present member
ship of 391 is unwieldy, and that
business was transacted much more
quickly and efficiently when the mem
| bership was $50. To make good their
arguments some of them are advo-
eating the reduction of the member
ship to $50.
Should the ratio of representation
be allowed to remain unchanged IL Is
estimated that the South would gain
about twenty-five representatives
while the North void gain about
thirty-five.
| With the great rise of insurgency
and the constant combination of pro-
gressiye Republicans with the Demo
Gratis, the regular leaders fear that
such increases would mean the over
throw of the organization.
| The Democrats are planning to
block this move early on the part OF
] the Republicans and they expect tC
be able to put up a fight that will
sweep the Republicans off their feet
sending their calculations galley-west
The confident expectation of the
Democratic leaders that they will
control the next house gives them
double assurance and the fear of such
a contingency spurs the Repblican'
all the more to drastic action.
