THE CENSUS

1T Is THE DUTY OF ALL CITI-
ZENS OF GREATER LOS AN
n GELES TO TAKE AN ACTIVE
INTEREST IN THE CENSUS. If you
have not been enumerated, or if you
know any omitted family or neglected
Individual, it is your duty to communi-
cate at once with the chamber of com
merce. Secretary Virgins says: I'VE
MUST get a fairly complete count of
our inhabitants if we are to take our
rightful place among the large cities
of the west. There is no doubt in my
mind the population of this city is
more than 100000. The chamber is
doing all in its power to arouse inter-
est in the enumeration. We have re-
ceived several thousand complaints
and have sent out thousands of blanks
and much information If anyone has
not been counted or knows of any
family passed by he will confer a
great favor on US by telephoning.
I'VE have a special department for
census work. We will be open night
and day until the census ends. If per-
sons making complaints will give us
their telephone numbers as we'll as
street numbers it will aid in check
ing up"
In dealing with the foreign pOpula-
ton census enumerators have encoun-
tered many difficulties.
When the great area over which Los
Angeles extends is considered and
when it is remembered our population
is constantly being augmented by i'm
migration from other states as we'll as
from other countries the almost i'm
possibility of taking an absolutely ac-
curate census becomes apparent. But
an approximately accurate census will
be assured if citizens cooperate in the
work And the result Of an approx
mately accurate census will give
Greater Los Angeles d population of
more than 10000.

TRACKLESS TROLLEYS

TT SEEMS strange we hear SO little
of the trackless trolley bus, al
Il though it is said to be now in con-
stant use in France, Germany and Hol-
land. In those countries it is reported
to have taken the place of the horse
omnibus, as it has been found prac-
ticable for all ordinary roads. Elec-
trio companies are using it to extend
their operations into districts too thin
ly settled to Justify the expense Of
laying rails, and it is obvious it opens
up to traffic immense sections hither-
to accessible only to those who owned
their own means of locomotion. More
and more it appears certain the day
when transportation can be monopo-
lized by those who own rail tracks is
at an end.
In full review of the situation given
in the Cosmos" NJ. Norbert Lallie
declares this railless electric traction,
which is an intermediate step between
motor traction by gasoline and trolley
traction by rail, has been found easy
of establishment and effective of great
etOHOlllltS. II IL cthlIIAAACu lhSAC - a
somewhat larger waste of current but
this is said to be compensated for by
the smaller weight of the vehicles, and
emphasis is laid on the immense
amount of territory now brought with
in the area of systematic cOmmunica-
ton.
It would be difficult to set out in de-
tail the influence such an invention
may have on the development of Los
Angeles, but certain salient facts can
be readily grasped. At present this
city has at command some $4,000 volts
of electric power, supplied by private
companies But in the immediate fu-
ture the aqueduct power will place at
the direct disposition of the city itself
about 1200 900 additional volts, render
ing possible an extension Of industry
unthinkable a few years ago. Every
line of production viii receive an enor-
nous impetus, and it is only reason
able to suppose transportation will un-
dergo startling developments. The city,
being able to operate at an exceed
ingly cheap rate the pumping plants
now III existence, and such others as
increased demand will necessitate, will
be in a position to utilize all such
inventions as this of the railless troll
ley for the better distribution of its
population. Elysian and Griffith parks
and other pleasure resorts, at present
too much neglected, viii be brought
within easv reach.
Mr.. Huntington stated in a recent
interview it did not pay to build cleo
trio roads when the franchise granted
was limited to twenty-one years and
he announced his company would not
engage in construction on such terms.
But with the ample power the city will
possess, with the fine roads we are
determined to obtain. and with the eli
mate that makes such roads available
at all seasons, the transportation prob
lem in Los Angeles is likely to un-
dergo startling notifications, and
nothing is more certain than that all
possible expansion win be insisted on

SUGGESTION AND CRIME

" ADDINGTON BRUCE, in the
ii Womans Home Companion,
He publishes an interesting con-
tribution to criminology. He throws
ray of common sense on pet theory
Of novelists and dramatists by saying:
"While some still cling to the idea hyp-
motto crimes are possible, the consensus
of scientific opinion is that no person
who would not in his normal state per-
petrate the crime suggested would per-
petrate it hypnotized."
This conclusion Is somewhat vaguely
expressed, but we take it to mean
person who would commit crime sug-
gested under hypnotic influence would
commit a crime suggested while nor
NAL. This surely does not lessen the
danger Of suggestion. 1t rather seems
to indicate there are persons of such
weak will power, even when in full
possession of their senses and reason
ing faculties that they will take hint
or obey a command and commit a
crime.
To what extent are these moral
weaklings culpably responsible for the
unlawful deeds they may do?
Another conclusion stated by Mr..
Bruce is startling, and should receive
most careful attention. He says;
1T IS CERTAIN people under hyp-
motto influence are liable to accuse
themselves of crimes they have not
committed.
This is a real danger, which ought to
be guarded against in courts of justice.
"There is reason to believe 4IANY
police confessions extorted from ac-
cused persons by the processes of the
so-called third degree and afterward
found to be untrue are made in a hyp-
motto state. The persistent questioning
of the prisoner by the police their pitt
less insistence that he is guilty and
knows he is guilty, may develop in him
that peculiar hysterical condition in
which he may become spontaneously
hypnotized by an unexpected noise or
the sudden flashing of light"
Inquisitorial proceedings of any de-
scription, conducted in the seclusion
and terrorism of a prison or a police
station, are dangerous and untrust-
worthy and should be absolutely for
hidden in every civilized community.

TRUE SUCCESS

N ONERNOR HUGHES of New York
T has preached a little sermon on
y" altruism which should be repeated
often and remembered ever. Here
speaks a man who has made a close
study of life, and is aware of the sig
nificance of the word "Americanism"
Everything is as naught if. as We
progress, we do not come closer to-
gether in realization of opportunities
for service to our fellows, and in ap-
probation of the extent of misfortune
which may be prevented or relieved.
The success which is indicated in the
facility of communication, in the aCtiv-
tiles of markets and in the products Of
manufactures is important indeed but
its importance must be found uti-
mately in those other qualities which
are represented in growing solicitude
for an improved condition and the real
betterment of the great masses Of the
people. The thing we are proud Of in
America today is the enlarging area
of opportunity, and the concern Of
those who have been favored by their
talents or fortune for those less fa-
vored. That is the real pride of our
national life" And this, in effect, is
Americanism-the doctrine of the
greatest good for the greatest num-
ber, and Of the protection Of the people
in the guaranteed enjoyment of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Child Uses Get-Rich- Quick Plan;
Writes Black Hand Letters

NEW YORK. May 3.-Harry Spindle,
a brisk little boy of thirteen years, is
being held by the Childrens society
here on his own confession that he
kidnapped himself, terrorized his par
ents with Black Hand letters and then
when they failed to procure the money
he needed to go west invented get
rich-quick scheme that netted him 800
in less than a week.
A string of sad little girls, his tools,
and their angry mothers, his victims,
corroborated his story.
Harrys plan, as told by himself, was
to find some little girl on the street,
flatter her with news of how her father
had just been elected president of q
lodge, and then get the mother to
borrow three. four or five dollars from
the corner grocer to buy flowers to
surprise father when he came home.
Then Harry would offer to run to
the florists with the money, but he
never came back.
With his pal, Arthur Gulden, IL years
old. Harry left home more than a week
ago, fired with an ambition to go west,
after having seen a thrilling moving
picture show.

BANKING soLIDITY

nANKING hurries in Greater Los
X Angeles are so rare that when
~ there is one it is singled out for
perhaps more publicity than would be
bestowed upon it in some other COM
munlties. 1t is natural run on any
bank should cause excitement and mis-
giving, for timidity is infectious. and
run is nothing more nor less than the
result of a scare.
There have been so few financial
disasters in the history of Greater Los
Angeles that it is not easy to under
stand why any established institution
should be the cause of scare.
Los Angeles financial institutions are
firmly founded on the prosperity of the
most successful city of modern times.
Greater Los Angeles is sound finan-
cially and commercially, and its bank
ing institutions are SOLID.

SURGEONS TAKE FINCH
PIN FROM VICTIMS BODY

NEW YORK, May 3.-George Allie
mile, an engraver, was fatally stabbed
with hatpin in an early morning
alteration here today.
According to the story, as pieced to-
gether by the police, the hatpin was
welded by young man, a neighbor
of Allemile. The two met shortly after
midnight at a street corner near their
east side homes and quarreled over
some trivial affair.
Allemilles companion was returning
from college with a young woman ac-
quaintance and had in his possession
a hatpin which he had taken away as
a souvenir. When the argument be-
came heated, Allemille charges, the
young man seized the hatpin and
plunged 1t into the engraver's abdo-
men. Ambulance surgeons removed the
long pin from the wound. 1t was
seven inches in length and had been
buried almost to the head. The as
sailant was arrested.
