There is nothing perhaps which
more aptly illustrates the wonderful
progress and development of Los An
geles from the quiet little pueblo OF
the early days, much visited by tour
lists and health-seekers, than its splen-
did automobile service. In the days
that have passed-in fact, up to a very
few years ago, the visitor depended
almost entirely upon the carriage. bus
or tallyho to travel over the streets
of Los Angeles and the surrounding
country enjoying the delights of this
glorious southland.
Today, however, this is all changed.
The globe-trotter, tourist and pleas
ure- e-seekers arrive in Los Angeles, are
driven to their palatial hotels in mod
ern. high-powered automobiles and
taxicabs. Here, after the natural rest
after the fatigue of their travel. they
plan to see Los Angeles in luxury ana
comfort. To do this it is necessary, II
one does it right, to use one of the
handsomely appointed automobiles fur-
nished by the Alexandria Auto and
Taxicab company, from its offices IN
the lobby of the famous Alexandra
hotel the most noted establishment OF
its kind in Southern California, where
the wealthy social leaders of the
world mine owners, business and pro-
fessional men. globe-trotters and 9th

MADRIZ FORCES
BOMBARD TOWN
AMERICAN CONSUL PROTESTS,
AND FIRE CEASES
Another Attack on MataeaIpa Expect
ed Soon-Offcer Who Ordered
Shooting of Americans Is
Himself Slain

MANAGUA, Feb. 14.-Heavy field
guns posted on the hills by the Madriz
forces. yesterday began a lombard
ment of Matagalpa, which, on Febru-
airy 10, was taken by the revolutionists
under General Chamorro.
The American consul protested
against the bombardment. The Madriz
troops about 5000 men, were under
command of General Lara, with Gen
eral Chavarria and Gen. Porto Carrero
supporting him.
Subsequently the attack upon the
city was abandoned, but it is likely to
be resumed at any moment. The bonn
bardment lasted several hours.
The situation in Managua is tense,
and no one can say what is likely to
happen in the next few days.
Capt. Constantine SaenZ, who was In
command of the firing squad at the
execution of the two Americans, Groce
and Cannon, was shot to death in the
streets this afternoon by Nicaraguan
soldier.
A large number of political arrests
have been made.
Vice American Consul Caldera has
received this message from the reyolu-
tionary General Chamorro:
"You know of the BATTLES fought in
the last few days by my command in
Sagael and San Ramon, and the TAX
ing by my troops of Matagalpa and
Jinotega, and also the six hours bat
tie of the 18th, in which SO much pre-
cious blood was shed on both sides
Being anxious to stop further blood
shed, 1 authorize you to convey to
Madriz my readiness to reopen nego-
tiations. If he accepts, notify me and
1 will notify General Estrada
Rear Admiral Kimball has warned
the belligerents on both sides that
they will be held responsible for the
persons and property of neutrals in
Matagalpa.
The American consul at Managua,
Jose Olivares, arrived today at Metapa,
twelve miles from Matagalpa. The
consul is accompanying a courier who
came here recently and appealed to
him to prevent the destruction of
American property.

DEMOCRATS FOIL
BOLD MANEUvER
SCHEME TO SAVE BALLINGER
FRUSTRATED
Bill Favored by President Would
Jeopardze Vast Coal Lands of
Alaska and Take Control
from Congress
Especial 10 The Herald. I

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The quick
perception and prompt work of two
Democratic senators, aided by several
Republican insurgents, today led to the
Illustration of what is claimed to have
been a daring political plot to rescue
Ballinger and place the coal lands of
Alaska beyond the jurisdiction OF
congress.
The bill is entitled "An act to create
a legislative council for Alaska" the
members of which council, under the
stipulations of the measure, would be
appointed by congress, and the latter
guided by the wishes and demands of
Alaskas political lobbyists. BY the
terms of the measure these Alaskan
legislators would have power to repeal
any act governing Alaska which might
be passed by congress.
The bill also gives the Alaskan coun-
ell full power to control "all public
lands" and calls for the appointment
of an army officer as a member of the
council. 1t is believed this latter fea-
ture was intended to make room for
Major w. p. Richardson, Alaskan high
way commissioner and friend of the
administration, whose lobby work at
Washington has caused much protest
and considerable gossip.
Incidental to the storm raised by the
Democratic senators at this palpable
attempt to place the invaluable coal
deposits of Alaska beyond the jurisdic-
ton of congress- it was brought out
Enthusiastically that President Taft was
behind the bill and that he had given
it his personal Endorsement.
Taft Indorses 1t
The bill itself, while fathered by Sen
ator Beveridge, who today tried to slip
it through the senate, is said to embody
the same legislation desired by Ballin-
ger and Taft and drafted by them in
the famous measures which Ballinger
tried to present in congress, and for
which he afterward apologized.
The insurgent Republicans We're
quick to come to the rescue of the
Democratic members and in a few mo-
ments a lively squabble was precipi-
tated.
Assaults on various features of the
measure by Senators Clark of Wyo-
ming. Crawford of South Dakota, Bo-
rah and Hepburn of Idaho, Frazier and
Clay were answered by Senator Bever-
idge, who has the bill in charge, until
his voice gave way.
Consideration of the bill was then
postponed.
Senator Clark took exception to the
power given to the proposed council to
repeal laws enacted by congress; Sen
ator Clay of Georgia to the control of
public lands vested in the council, and
Senator Hepburn to the appointment of
an army officer as a member of the
council.
Replying, Mr.. Beveridge said that
local legislators would understand con-
ditions in the territory better than con-
gress. possibly could, and that the pres
ident had reached the same conclusion.

you placed all the papers that had
been called for by your successor in
one of the boxes in the grand jury
room which was broken open on the
Sth of this month and the letters and
copies found therein?"
THAT is absolutely false-it is a
frame-up," cried CLAWS, showing anger
for the first time. "Those letters did
not hurt me Why did I want them?
They hurt Ballinger."
CLAWS was interrupted with a ques-
tion.

ernment officials to gain favor with
their superiors, would stoop to such a
thing"
The crowd in the courtroom broke
into applause. Chairman Nelson said
such another demonstration would re-
suit in the room being cleared.
Got Carbon Copies
Claws said the letters which ap-
peared in the weekly paper We're those
of which he had furnished carbon
copies to the forest service. He had
! furnished these copies to the service as
further means of safeguarding the
Alaska coal lands.

guard the Alaska coal lands?''

erley last September
The last hour of the afternoon ses-
sion was taken up with an eXamina-
tion of the witness as to the construc-
tion he had placed upon the opinion
rendered by Attorney General Wicker
sham after CLAWS had protested
against the opinion by Assistant Secre-
tary Pierce.
Didn't you say in an article you
wrote in a weekly paper that the at
torney general overruled Mr.. Pierce on
every point and sustained you, and
thus saved the Alaska coal land?'
asked Mr. Vertrees.
Yes" replied CLAWS.
And doesn't the attorney general in
his report to the president say the
memorandum submitted to him, in
the preparation of which you assisted,
specifically exclude any possible con-
sideration of the Cunningham cases?"
Il was very much surprised that he
would make that statement" replied
CLAWS, because he had my report on
the Cunningham claims before him,
and one of the questions we submitted
to him. 1 thought, covered the Cum
ningham class of cases"
The examination was proceeding
along this line when adjournment was
taken until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn

BERLIN, Feb. 14.-Except for a

there in the east side streets and a few
saber wounds, there was no effect of
yesterdays demonstration against the
proposed Prussian franchise reform
measure to be observed here.
The Socialist papers protest bitterly
against what they term the unneces-

McCarthy's team has always been
regarded as a snappy lot of players,

any, especially if it fails to turn out
