AGENT LEAPS FOR CAR;
SKULL BROKEN IN FALL
Howard Cook Seriously Injured
by Missing Platform and
Rolling Under Wheels

Howard B. Cook, 35 years old, pur-
chasing agent for the Richards-Neu-
stadt Construction company probably
was injured fatally late yesterday
afternoon when he was run over by
car No. 1856 Of the Franklin avenue
line at Sunset boulevard and Echo
Park road. His right leg was crushed
above the knee, his left foot was in
jured and he suffered a frontal frac-
ture Of the skull. He was taken to the
Sisters hospital, where DR.. Edward
T. Dillon performed an amputation.
Cook ran to catch the car, which
was in motion. He either slipped or
missed his hold on the front platform
and rolled under the car. Before the
motorman could bring the car to q
stop the rear trucks passed over the
prostrate man.
1t is understood that Cook had just
alighted from a car on the Elysian
park line which connects with the Los
Angeles Pacific cars at Sunset boule-
ward and Echo Park road, when the
Franklin avenue car, which he in
tended to board, started. The rear
platform, it is understood, was
crowded and Cook, it is said, ran to-
ward the front end and tried to get
on the front platform.
According to the attendants at the
hospital, Cook is in a serious condi-
ton and may die. His home is at 42S
Hill Crest grove, Hollywood.

from the snow-clad sides of the highest
mountain in the United States. suffi-
cient for population of 100000.
Not only can the city be supplied
with drinking water for many years.
but there will be enough surplus to
irrigate all the available land In the
county. Not only this, but the water
will furnish an immense amount of
power for electric lighting and for
factories. For this enterprise the peo-
pie OF Los Angeles, by vote OF 10
to 1, authorized bond issues totaling
$23.000.000.
SCHOOLS ALSO INCREASE
The increase of population has de-
manded a corresponding increase in
the amount of school facilities. The
value of school property in Los An
geles represents almost $3.5OO,O0O. The
combined salaries of it's 1900 teachers
totals almost $1,000,000 annually. There
are now 113 school buildings, and new
ones are in the course of construction
to accommodate the ever-increasing
throng of children.
In the Polytechnic high school, Los
Angeles has an institution beyond
compare. Housed in magnificent white
granite and marble buildings, which
occupy a block at the head of Hope
street on Washington, 1t is landmark
which demands attention. The recent
ly completed manual arts high school
is another splendid institution.
Subsidiary to the city the oil and
mining industries play an important
part. Los Angeles is the center of a
number of rich mineral and oil fields
and Is the natural center, not only for
the mining fields of Southern Cali
fornia, but also for the vast mining
sections of Lower California, Sonora,
Mexico, Arizona and Nevada.
Today the petroleum interest or
Southern California is attracting the
attention of the world. One of the
chief producing sections of the county
is a well-defined narrow belt running
across the city in southwesterly and
northeasterly direction.
Thus is noted the growth of a COM
munity which thirty years ago was
made up of 1900 persons and which
now stands on the census list with
population of 319,198.

C|TY'S GROWTH IS
RAPID BUT SURE
Fifty Years Ago Los Angeles Was
Inhabited by Only 37OO
of Mixed Races
INCREASE IS IN ALL LINES
Manufacturing, Commerce and
Educational Facilities Notably
in Step with Population

From a comparatively unknown and
listless pueblo of less than 300 people
of mixed races in 1860 to magnificent,
bustling metropolis of S19,198 inhabi-
tants, Los Angeles has made tremen-
dous strides in winning for itself hun
dreds of thousands of former residents
of all parts of the world. Every train
which enters Los Angeles adds to this
influx.
The rapid growth of Los Angeles,
from an insignificant semi-Mexican
town to a splendid metropolis, has been
told and retold, until 1t is familiar to
millions of Americans and residents of
other lands, while the attractions Of
fered by the city to health seekers,
pleasure seekers and tourists have been
spread to the farthest corners of the
earth. After one trip to this section
they are anxious to return, and many
become permanent residents.
1t Is conceded that three leading
features have contributed to the mar
velous growth of Los Angeles. They
are climate, soil and location.
Since 1880 Los Angeles has grown
from a population Of 1000 to a city or
319,19S in 1910. The census of 1900 gave
the city a population of 102,479, and in
ten years the population has jumped
216,719. Here are the figures in de-
tail showing the wonderful expansion
in poulation since 1860:

TAFT REGRETS RESULTS
OF ELECTION ON PARTY
President Disappointed at Loss
of House of Representatives

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Feeling
keenly the blows dealt by voters to
the great political party of which he is
head, President Taft returned to Wash
ington today from Cincinnati. where
he had cast his vote. He had no COM
ment to make on the result and went
directly to the White House, where 1t
was stated that he probably would not
break his silence concerning political
affairs until his return from Panama.
Disappointed as is the president at
the loss OF the house of representa-
tives to the Democrats, his political
advisers are pinning their hopes to the
fact that three months session Of the
present Republican majority in both
branches of congress is about to begin.
1t is known that into that brief period
the administration intends to crowd as
much of it's legislative program as
there seems to be the remotest chance
of enactment.
Much of the proposed legislation
which will be urged on congress in the
presidents forthcoming message will
be Of progressive character.

ATTORNEY TELLS
Of CITY IN 1853
Lawyer Pictures Los Angeles
When Horse Corral Occupied
HOIIenbeCk Hotel Site

''When I lived at Second street and
Broadway CFort street them, forty-one
years ago" said H. w. O'1Ielveny yes
terday, 1.-The only house within blocks
of me was that of j. M. Griffith, and
the site of his home Is now occupied
by the Coulter building. The entire
city was but a small village, and the
council chamber and city hall were in
close, i'll lighted adobe buildings on the
present site Of our beautiful court
house, which has grown much too
small for the affairs of our city today"
Mr.. O'Melveny pointed proudly to
picture of Los Angeles in 1869. The
hills north and west Of Broadway, IN
cluding Hill street Of today, are shown
as bare plains. A horse corral oc-
cupied the present Hollenbeck hotel
site, and the corner now occupied by
the Alexandria hotel, the annex to
which is causing so much comment at
present, contained one-story hcuse,
the home of E. Niedecker. Not many
years ago number of small frame
buildings took its place and remained
there until a few years ago.
The site of the Peoples store, the
old home of Hamburgers department
store, which to most of the inhabitants
of Los Angeles appears an old build
ing, is remembered by Mr.. O'Melveny
as the home of a Spanish rancher, who
grew fields Of waving grain In his BACK
yard. The Wilcox building was the
home of the father OF Phil Wilson, g.
well known young banker Of the city.
Mrs. Hancock Banning was born in g.
little house, the home of her father,
Hon. George Hugh Smith, in Court
street, Just opposite the Title 1nsur-
ance and Trust building.
The Los Angeles district school oc-
cupied the Bryson building site. Fred
Eaton had beautiful little cottage
where the Los Angeles Trust COM
panys building is situated at present.
The county jail still stands as part
Of the Jail of today, and was later
owned by e. J. Baldwin.
In 1876 the politics of the county was
largely Democratic, and in the elec-
ton Of that year every nominee of that
party for county offices was elected ex-
cept Thomas q. Rowan, who ran for
treasurer. He was defeated by ID. r.
r. Temple. The total registration OF
voters that year, when what is now
Orange county was still part OF Los
Angeles county, was but 29OO, ana
many of the Democrats received as
great majorities as 1900.
William r, Rowland, who was sheriff,
is still living and is fond OF telling of
his experiences, for his duties then
we're much more strenuous than those
of sheriff in Los Angeles today He
was succeeded in 1875 by Don David
w. Alexander.
The population of this city in 1875
undoubtedly was less than 1000 people.
and a large majority of these were
native Californians. In 1880 the popu-
lation was $4,000, and L. 1900 10l 900;
today it is 319,198.

FRENCH PRESS GOSS|PS
ON ELECTION RESULTS
High Cost of Living Blamed for
G. O. P. LosSes-Tariff
Law Unpopular

PARIS, Nov. 9.-The French press
gives prominence today to the Amer
lean elections. The writer's generally
agree that the high cost of living was
the fundamental cause of the Repubii-
can losses. The Temps thinks the out
come was due partly to split in the
Republican party for which Roosevelt
was largely responsible and in meas
ure to the vengeance of the political
bosses and the trusts upon Roosevelt
However, the paper adds that 1t IS
difficult to foresee the future, partic-
ularly whether Mr.. RooseVelt's chances
for the presidency have been blighted
The Steele concludes that the Re
publican party. was hit as hard as
Mr. Roosevelt was, and attributes its
overthrow to the unpopularity of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law and the op-
position of the financial interests. 1t
does not think the results indicate the
end of the former presidents political
influence.

the result of yesterdays election.
"I do not view the result in a par

elation," said the mayor. "I see in
it a readjustment of those voters
throughout the country who are too
intelligent to remain mere thick and
thin partisans. The intelligence of
the country is asserting itself and
business men and property owners
will again divide themselves normally
between the parties as formerly, and
as they do in other countries"
