RIVAL CITIES TO CONFER
ON EXPOSITION RIGHTS
Committees from San Diego and San
Francisco Plan Open Meeting
at Hotel Alexandria

An open conference between the
committees of San Diego and San
Francisco upon the holding of an ex-
position to celebrate the opening of
the Panama canal in 1915 will be held
tonight at the Hotel Alexandria.
Col. D. C. Collier, director general
of the san Diego committee, received
a telegram yesterday from the San
Francisco committee Stating that a
delegation is coming to the conference.
Unlike the conference recently held
in San Francisco, representatives of
the press will not be excluded.
Col. Collier, in speaking of the ad-
mission of newspaper men to the meet
ing, said: "If both sides are acting
on the square neither will be hurt by
the admission of newspaper men to
the conference. 1 don't take any stock
in meetings from which the press is
excluded and concerning which q
statement is framed up by one side
after it is over and given out for pub
lication."
A large delegation of San Diegans
is in Los Angeles to be present at the
conference.

DAYLIGHT BURGLARS PLY +
PROFESSION UNM0LESTED
Thieves Gain Entrance to Homes BY
Means of Pass keys-Mueh
Booty Is Secured i.ss,..

Daylight burglars, equipped with pass
keys, continue to work in the residence
districts, and four more cases yesterday
were added to the long list of similar
offenses which have been committed
since the beginning of aviation week.
AS in the cases reported previously. the
homes robbed Thursday were entered
while the occupants were at Domlnguex
field watching the aeroplanes fly.
C. e. Richards of 1211 Magnolia ave-
nue. notified the police that his homo
had been entered sometime Thursday
afternoon and a cameo brooch Yalo
class pin, u pearl set brooch and an
onyx watch charm stolen.
A pearl brooch, gold locket, two
pairs of earrings and brooch were
stolen from the homo of J. F. Lukens,
1928 Winfield street
Mrs. Ida Wells of 1924 West Pico
street reported to the authorities that
while she was absent from home Thurs
day afternoon her home was entered by
means of pass key and a woman's
watch, chain silver card case, several
rings, some stick pins and a pair of cuff
buttons were taken.
A Masonic charm, several bracelets,
two neck chains, a brooch and several
other articles OF jewelry were stolen
from the home of William r. Uber, 3241
Royal street.
The detectives who are detailed on
these burglaries say it evidently is the
work of clever gang of crooks who
have invaded Los Angeles since avia-
ton week began. So far they have
been unable to find trace of the dar-
ing thieves.

bate between Rev. T. w. Williams OF
the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ
of the Latter Day Saints and KEY.
Harvey Hazel pastor of the Boyle
Heights Christian church, took place

sessions of the week, the usual accusa-

modified.
Braden and Kelley debate given Mr..
Williams by Mr.. Hazel was taken up
by the former and read at the opening
session last night. proving quite unob-

had been selected.
The second week of the debate will
open Monday, to continue each even
ing during the week. Large congrega-

COTTON MARKET
SCENE OF PANIC
BULL CAMPAIGN RESULTS IN
TOTAL COLLAPSE
DECLINE REACHED OF OVER FIVE
DOLLARS A BALE
Aqqressive-Leader In Texas Estimated
to Have Made Ten Millions for
Season-Shorts Thrown
Into a FURRY
Associated Pressl


NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE big bull
campaign in cotton definitely collapsed
today, with the most spectacular de-
cline seen in a week of erratic recess
sions.
Reports freely circulated in the trade,
after the close of the market, had it
that the position of the leading south
ern bull has been completely under
mined by the liquidation that has been
in progress since early in the year.
At the low point today New York
contracts showed a decline of from
$500 to $3.50 a bale from the closing
prices of the night previous, which
was break Of from $6.10 to $3.50 bale
from the high figures of the day, and
1885 to SLABS a bale from the high
point of the season. May contracts
touched $1370 late in the afternoon.
The bull movement has lasted more
than a. year. At the height of the
campaign it was estimated that e. G..
Scales of Texas, the leader, had accu-
mulated profits of $10,000,000 for the
season. AS a Christmas present he is
said to have given 100000 to one of his
favorite brokers. Another accepted
story has it that he had given a mil
lion in cash to one of his brothers.
His heaviest holdings were in May
cotton, and he and his friends were
generally believed to control contracts
calling for the delivery of fully a mil
lion bales in that month.
Shorts in Panic
The situation developed into a threat
of the greatest squeeze of shorts ever
recorded, but other bulls who had
followed Mr.. Scales lead without en-
listing in his party decided the time
was ripe for a bear raid.
One after another the big accounts
began to come into the market. The
Scales party was said to have its cot
ton margined down to 10c a pound,
and it was confidently asserted that its
members never would abandon their
position.
Events have proved, however. that
the continued pressure was too heavy.
Today it was announced that Mr..
| Scales was transferring his holdings
| to leading bear interests. Smaller op-
orators were hard nipped, but it is be-
| lieved the largest bulls liquidated
| above their average buying price for
| the season.
| AS soon as the news spread that ar
| agreement had been reached between
the conflicting interests the market re-
ceived aggressive support, closing al
from 20 to 80 points up from the low
mark of the day.
| A much better feeling prevails In the
trade tonight. and it is thought that a
quieter market may be expected for
the coming week, with prices more
generally Influenced by legitimate de-
mand and supply.
After the official close May contracts
changed hands at $14.10. compared with
$3.50, the low point of the day. The
mark at which the bears are said to
have taken over the bull holdings is
| $3.50 for May.

YOUTHFUL HIGHWAYMAN
SHOOTS ANOTHER BOY
AND THEN DISAPPEARS
Arnold Ekstrom, Injured by Emulator
of Jesse James, Taken TO
Hospital

Armed with an air gun and perched
on a high bank at First street and
Beaudry avenue, lad not more than
IL years old attempted to emulate the
example of Jesse James by holding up
every person who passed. The youthful
bandit would order each one to hold
up his hands, and the failure to do so
resulted in leaden pellet shot in his
direction.
All went well until Arnold Ekstrom,
years old and small for his age, ap-
peared. He refused to throw up his
hands at the command of the young
"desperado," and was shot in the upper
lip. The owner of the air gun saw the
blood streaming from the wound and
ran away. The injured lad screamed
with pain and hurried to his home
near by, and later was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital, where the police sur
geons dressed the wound.
A policeman was sent out to invest1-
gate, but was unable to find the youth

Gen. Chamorro is expected to arrive
in the heart of the Chontales district
tomorrow, where he will be joined by

Gen. Juan Reyes, former governor
of the coast provinces, has telegraphed
to Gen. Estrada from Greytown re-
auesting permission to come to Blue

with Estrada without the acquiescence
of President Madriz.
It will be remembered that Reyes,
second in command of the revolution
ary army, turned traitor and Went to
Managua with Madriz from Costa
Rica.
Refuses Permission
Gen. Estrada therefore answered the
telegram and refused Reyes perm1s-
sion to come here.
Gen. Huraldo, in command or the
government troops at GreytoWn, sent
a wireless dispatch to Gen. Estrada
today through the British cruiser
Scylia asking that a boat be sent to
Greytown to convey the Red Cross,
