ENGLAND URGES NEUTRAL
RAILROAD IN MANCHURIA
Great Britain in Sympathy with Pro-
posaI of United States Regarding
Chinese Problem

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Great Britain has
not given a formal reply. to the pro-
posal of the United States for the
naturalization of the Manchurian rail-
road, though the proposal has not been
received unsympathetically.
1t had been felt here for some time
the railway situation in Manchuria
was one of the most dangerous ele-
ments in far eastern politics and, in
common with the United States, Great
Britain would be gratified to see the
question settled.
However, it is realized Russia and
Japan are more vitally interested in
the subject, and while Great Britain
would suggest to her ally and also to
Russia the acceptance of some such
proposal as that made by the govern
ment of the United States, the British
government is not disposed to press
the matter of the whole question in
volved.
Nevertheless, a fuller consideration
will be given the subject when the
ministers of the cabinet are relieved
from the duties imposed on them by
the present campaign.

INF PROVEMENT CLUBS
DISCUSS CONDITIONS
ASSOCIATION HEARS REPORT
ON TRANSIT LINE
viii Ask Good Roads Commission to
Decide on Right of Way for Ex-
tension of Sunset BeuIe-
ward to Ocean

A report on the proposed rapid
transit railroad which is to be operated
between Los Angeles and Pasadena
was read yesterday afternoon at the
meeting of the North, Northeast and
Northwest Improvement association
which was held in the committee rooms
of the Chamber of Commerce building.
z. H. Lanning, chairman of the
committee which interviewed H. H.
Dobbins president of the Rapid Tran
sit company, said the company had
not selected terminus for its road in
Los Angeles, but was considering sew
eral sites in the northern part of the
city. He also said Mr.. Dobbins as
serted as soon as the road was COM
pleted at least 10000 persons could be
crried over the line in day.
The proposed route of the new line
is over the old cycleway from Los An
geles to Pasadena.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the good roads commission to
secure the best right of way which
could be obtained under the provisions
of the good roads commission for the
extension of Sunset boulevard from the
western city limits to the ocean, and
particularly to urge that that part
situated between the western city
limits and Hollywood should be COM
pleted before the proposed annexation
of East Hollywood takes place. Those
appointed on the committee are S. d.
Rannells, B. B. Miller and j. Mills
Davies.
The matter of relieving the congest-
ed condition around Temple block was
discussed. R. e. Wirsching, chairman
of committee selected to investigate
the matter, said the car companies
are willing to make changes in their
routes, and as soon as the proposed
change in the grades of the streets
on the east side of the plaza are made
cars will be run around the plaza in
stead of Temple block.
Communications were read by the
secretary of the association, Mr..
Davies, from the city council, United
States navy department, congress and
the senate concerning the naming the
next cruiser built by the government.
Judging from the communications in
dications are the next war vessel con-
structed will be named Los Angeles.
r. F. Baeker called the attention of
the association to the deplorable con-
dition of North Hill street in front Of
the Los Angeles high school, and from
there to Sunset boulevard. 1t was de-
cided the board of public works be
notified of these conditions.

BURGLAR DISPOSES OF
PRIVATE STOCK WHISKY
BEFORE L0OTING HOUSE
Empty Quart Bottle Left, but Contents
and Valuable Jewels Missed by
Owner of Michigan Ave-
nue. Home

After visiting the wine cellar and
draining the contents of a quart bottle
of private stock whisky, a burglar
was able to conduct a systematic
search of the home of John Heber, 1925
Michigan avenue, during the absence
of the occupants last night and carry
away jewelry and cash amounting to
about $500.
That the private stock was drunk
in the house was evident by the finding
of the empty bottle and a corkscreW
near by, which gave Heber the first
intimation that his house had been ri
fed.
On investigating Heber found that
three gold watches, valued at $75 each,
a few stick pins and $12 in cash had
been taken by the burglar.
Heber in reporting the burglary to
the east side station, said the loss of
his valuables was a surprise, but how d
burglar could drink one quart of whis
ky in a short space of time and then
escape was beyond his comprehension.
Entrance had been gained by forcing a
window in the rear of the house.
Patrolman Williams was detailed on
the case, but late last night had not
discovered a man with the stolen goods
and a quart of whisky slowed inside
his belt.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-07

Smith and Brigham Young have built
themselves a village that, in the midst
of one of the most arid wastes in the
Sagebrush State, is more like a New
England village than any other hamlet
in the southwest. It's inhabitants are
a generous people and, amid the ice
and snow and raging waters managed
to save the people on the marooned
train.
Meanwhile Uncle Sans mail is still
being delivered despite washouts, land
slides and other troubles. Changes of
routes have been made necessary but
the great system works on and, any
one who posts letter in Los Angeles
at any time may rest assured that the
same will reach it's destination. The
entire modus operandi of dispatching
the mails of the southwest, however,
has undergone several changes.
Mail Routes Changed
AS soon as it became known that the
majority of the Salt Lake, Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe trains were tied
up en- route orders were issued by f. L.
Moore, chief clerk of the southwestern
division of the railway postoffice, to
every postoffice and every mail clerk
of the division to route the mail east
either by way of Ell Paso or Alber-
toned.
Mail sent over the Salt Lake route
for the east and some of the states of
the Mississippi valley and which usual
ly is transferred at Salt Lake City, has
been going east via Albuquerque over
the Santa Fe route or via Ell Paso
where the railroad signs read South
ern Pacific"
Letters addressed to persons in Utah,
Wyoming, Idaho and the northwestern
states have been diverted through the
valley route known as the San Fran
cisco-San Jose-Los Angeles dispatch
Mails from the east also are coming
by way of the southern routes and but
few hours delay has been caused in any
instance. Most of the mail which for
merly was sent to Los Angeles by way
of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
now is being rushed through by way
of the Santa Fe.

TURBULENT RIVER
RETURNS TO COURSE
San Gabriel Again Flowing Down Rio
Hondo and Danger from
Floods Is Now
Over

Members of the bridge committee of
the board of supervisors yesterday
found that the San Gabriel river, after
having washed away railroad bridges
and tracks and imperiled many lives,
again has resumed its old course and
is flowing down the Rio Hondo on it's
way to the ocean.
But the river, which in summer is
nothing more than a dry, sun baked
wash, has conformed with the ameni-
ties of decency only after a rampage
which long will be remembered. Per-
sons looking for the old mission bridge,
near Montebello, have found nothing
but a few broken piers to mark the
place where a substantial structure
once stood, while nearly 200 feet of the
San abriel bridge have been washed
away Both ends of the crossing, near
Whittier, were carried down with the
flood, and many smaller bridges have
been rendered unfit for travel
Not satisfied with keeping to a
channel which has answered the pur-
pose for many years, the mighty San
Gabriel has changed its course in sew
eral places. Above Ell Monte the river
now flows through a bed long ago
abandoned to horned toads and jack
rabbits. Torrents now rush through
the San Gabriel wash, while the San
Leandro river which empties into
Alamitos bay, and which for the past
ten years has carried the bulk of the
San Gabriers water, now is compare
lively dry.
Nearly four times as much water
now is going down the Lexington wash
and the Rio Hondo as there was two
weeks ago To this fact may be at
tributed. the slight danger from floods
in which Artesia and the regions east
of Downey were placed. This change

GREEK CITIZENS WILL
CELEBRATE, CHRISTMAS
Customary Observance of the Day Is
Planned at Homes and Clubs
of People

The Greek citizens of Los Angeles
and vicinity will today commemorate
the birth of Christ.
Since the separation of the Roman
Catholic and Greek Catholic churches
it has been the custom of the Grecian
people to subtract one day from the
Christmas calendar every hundred
wears, celebrating Christmas on jan
uary Z instead of December 25. New
Years follows seven days later.
There are two Greek clubs in Los
Angeles, the Marathon and Greek
American club, both situated on North
Main street Neither of these clubs has
made arrangements for the recognition
of the day, but it is customary for the
members to form themselves into
small parties and visit friends and go
into the country for a days outing.
Contrary to the custom of this coun-
try of giving presents to friends and
relatives on Christmas day, the Greeks
delay this until New Years, the ex-
PLANTATION given being that it was on
that day that the wise men from the
east arrived at Bethlehem with their
presents for the child Jesus.
