GERMANS PLAN To GET
NATIONAL SAENGERFEST
Singing Societies viii Agitate to
Secure Great Musical Con-
greSs in 1918

The first of a number of saenger-
tests which will be held in Los An
geles during the next few months in
order to arouse interest in bringing
a big saengerfest, similar to the one
recently held in San Francisco, to this
city in 1913, was held last evening in
Turner hall, 332 South Main street, by
the South Pacific SaenGerbund
The han was we'll filled with mem
bers Of the local German colony and
the efforts of the choruses We're we'll
received. Before the program began
Joseph Blust, president Of the organ
iZation. made an address of welcome
in which he stated the object of the
saengerfest He spoke of the possi-
bility of securing the national saenger-
fest here in 1913, in which German
singing societies from all over the
United States would come to Los An
geles to sing. He stated that it was
possible, provided the local Germans
would promote the affair properly to
secure even a larger saengerfest here
on the date mentioned than the one
held in San Francisco in September.
The program consisted of chorus
work entirely, the singing section of
the organization, which with the song
''Waldandacht" won the German en-
peror's prize singing cup at San
Francisco, being especially encored for
its rendition of that selection. The
Fidelia male chorus. which also won
a prize in san Francisco, also rem
dered it's song "Abendfeier" in a cred
liable manner. Following the concert
the floor was cleared and those present
enjoyed a social dance.

TRAIN CRUSH MANS LEG
Railroad Clerk Suffers Amputa-
tion Of Limb Following an
Attempt to lump Car

An attempt to board a rapidly NOV
ing Pacific Electric car at Eighth street
and American avenue, Long Beach,
yesterday caused o. w. Wright,
visitor from San Bernardino, to receive
injuries which necessitated the ampu-
tation of leg. Wright, who is 30 years
old, is clerk in the Santa Fe offices
at San Bernardino He was on his
way to the ocean front after visit to
the home~of a young woman to whom
he is affianced and who lives in Ninth
street in the beach city.
Ignorant of the fact that the cars
are not scheduled to stop at Eighth
street and American avenue, Wright
waited there for a car this morning
about II o'clock. The motorman of an
approaching electric train sounded his
gong repeatedly to let Wright know
there was to be no Stacking of speed.
Wright made a quick grab for the
guard rail at the head of the first car
and was thrown to the pavement. He
rolled under the wheels, which crushed
his left foot and leg half way to the
knee.
Motorman Rothrock, who with Con-
ductor Macdonald was in charge or
the electric train, brought it to stop
as soon as possible and Wright was
placed on the first car and hurried to
the Seaside hospital, Long Beach, where
Drs. j. w. Wood and c. o. Waterman,
Pacific Electric surgeon and assistant
surgeon, took charge of the case. Inc
injured mans leg was amputated hve
inches below the knee. Wright is Suf-
fering from shock, but the physicians
state he has a chance for recovery.

only with facts, but the other-that is,
the estimate--is a mere guess, which
past experience has proved to be more
frequently wrong than right
The Census Bureau report on the
amount of cotton ginned to December 1
is, therefore, more likely to afford a
more accurate line on the size of the
crop than the governments estimate, but
even then the real problem will be still
in doubt, as it is impossible to say just
what percentage of the total crop has
been ginned to December I. Some be-
lieve that a greater percentage has been
ginned than ever before, while others are
equally confident that owing to gener-
ally late crop the per cens ginned is TN
der last year very considerably. Thus,
after all, it will take another month tc
settle the question of the size Of the
crop, 10 it can be settled even then.

WEATHER AND CROPS
1t Will Take Another Month to Settle
Question of Size of the Cotton Crop.

New Orleans Picayune Dec. S: The
past week has developed good deal OF
cold weather, but there has been no ex-
cessive rain, an dthe harvesting of the
remnant of the cotton crop has made
good progress. If all accounts can be
relied on, the last boil has been picked
in many portions of the belt, and what
is left still unpicked elsewhere is insig-
nihcant. The movement of cotton to
market has recently been unprecedent-
eddy heavy, the weather having facili-
tated the marketing OF the crop as well
as its gathering.
The all-important question, OF course,
is the size of the crop. The crop has
been made and nearly all picked, accord
ing to all accounts, but the total yield is
still the debatable question. There is
still much difference of opinion as to the
yield, the estimates ranging all the way
from 100000 TO 100000 bales and
more, with the preponderance of senti-
ment leaning towards the smaller fig
ures. The government will issue its
annual estimate of the crop December g,
following closely the Census Bureaus
report of the amount of cotton ginned
Ito December !. The latter report deals
