SAVE HISTORIC BUILDINGS,
SAYS REV. w. BARTLETT
Clergyman Urges Movement for
Preservation of Structures

That structures in Los Angeles
which, with the lapse of years, are
taking on more and more historic val
lie, should be protected against fire,
is the opinion expressed yesterday by
the Rev. w. Bartlett. Mr.. Bartlett
said:
"The incident of the recent fire in
the building adjoining the Plaza church
leads me to feel that steps ought to
be taken at once for safeguarding that
historic building. The city cannot af-
ford to have this ancient landmark IN
jured by fire.
1.-THE cutting through of Sunset
boulevard will destroy some of the
store buildings owned by the church,
leaving a few unsightly structures.
would like to recommend that popu-
lar subscription be started that may
reach a sufficient amount so that the
Catholic church can afford to purchase
the land adjoining on the south, and
pull down all of the buildings surround
ing the church; the church building to
be restored to it's original condition:
The land round about should be parked
and appropriate memorials erected,
commemorative the lives of the found
ers of the pueblo. All citizens, both
Catholic and non-Catholic, ought to
be interested in the restoration and
preservation of this historic church.

Wharf in Danger
Especial to The Herald)

LONG BEACH, Nov. 4.-High water
washed out more cement walk and
more sand along the ocean front to-
day, endangering several residences
and the Eel Rodeo and Milicoma club
houses. A further washout under the
roller coaster left the front entrance
to the concession in precarious condi-
ton and it is expected to go down if
the high water continues.
Ground sWells were responsible for
the trouble this morning. The bath
house company and other property
owners along the ocean front had men
making more sandbag dykes this
morning at an early hour. Several
streets west of the Virginia hotel have
been cut out for a distance of from
twenty to thirty feet back from the
beach. The city authorities have
taken no precautions to prevent the
damage and no city men were at work
along the front this morning. Several
electric light and telephone poles fell
today as result of the cutting out
of sand.
Tonight the Bathhouse and Amuse-
ment company submitted to the city
council a bill for $156.41 for emergency
services rendered the city during the
last previous high water scare, when
a force of men was organized ana 66Vo
sacks of sand were used in building a
temporary bulkhead along the ocean

There will be a conference at the
chamber of commerce this morning
at 10 o'clock to consider methods of
increasing tourist travel to this sec
ton and boosting Southern California

POLICE THINK DYNAMITE
CONFESSION is UNTRUE
Arizona Waiter Tells Weird Story
and Then ReCantS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. A sensa-
tional story of participation in the
destruction of the Los Angeles Times
building was told by Edward Gilham,
waiter in a Chinese restaurant, at the
Salvation Army meeting last night.
Gilham, who was Immediately placed
under arrest, today denies the truth
fulness of the story, saying he was
drunk last night.
Gllham last night said that he was
one of seventeen blindfolded men who
drew lots at Los Angeles union head
quarters and that he was one Of three
chosen by lot to blow up the Times
building. He said the plan was to
blow up the paper after it went to
press, but that some employe encoun-
tering wires caused the explosion to
occur shortly after l o'clock in the
morning. In Los Angeles he said he
was known as King.
Denying the story today, Gilham
says he left Los Angeles September
25, was in Yuma two days later, ar
irving here September 3O the day be-
fore the destruction of the Times. AL
though an investigation will be made
to ascertain the truthfulness of his
story today, the authorities are inclined
to believe that his confession" is the

U. S. NOT To CANCEL ALL
Of ALASKA COAL CLAIMS
Report Former Secretary Gar:
field Knew of the MaCKen-
zie Purchases

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-That the
government has no idea of arbitrarily
canceling all the Alaska coal claims,
as was reported from Spokane yester-
day, was declared at the interior de-
partment today.
The government can cancel only
such claims as have been investi-
gated and which, after hearing,
have been shown to be fraudulent
Spurred on by the results obtained
when the indictments were returned
at Seattle last month of the claim
ants in the Stracey, or English, and
the Christopher-S Simmons groups, and
those yesterday at Spokane, involving
what are known as the Brown-Dunne-
Doughton groups, the department, it
is said, will push vigorously the in
vestigation into all Alaska claims.
Those which are found after investi-
cation and hearing to be of fraudu-
lent nature will be Cancelled, but no
steps under the law can be taken
which would enable the government
to cancel the claims of bona fide en-
trymen.
No information as to the specific
charges against the men indicted at
Spokane yesterday has been received
at the general land offices here. The
claims in the latest indictment do not
include the NJ. A. Green group, as was
first stated.
While it was denied today by counsel
for Donald A. Mackenzie, whose name
was mentioned in the list of those in
dicted yesterday in connection with
the Alaska claims, that he had re-
ceived information in relation to his
Indictment, it was admitted that he
had gone out OF the city to arrange
to give bonds in the case.
Mr.. Mackenzie simply bought
claims from the locators, according to
his counsel, and by that action vio-
lated no law. Mr.. MacKenzie's pur-
chase of the claims, it was said, was
effected with the knowledge of former
Secretary of the Interior Garfield.
