POPULATION OF Los ANGELES

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 22.-As a result
of Investigations just completed by
Clarence H. Matson, secretary of the
harbor commission, Los Angeles has a
big lead in population over every other
city on the Pacific coast, and it is
growing at much more rapid rate.
As a result of data compiled by him
Secretary Matson shows that on the
basis of three and twc-thirds persons
for every registered voter Los Angeles
in all probability has a population of
609, 100 instead Of 100000 estimated be-
fore.
Here are Matson's deductions:
"If San Francisco, with a total regis
tered vote of $4,000, has a present pop
ulation of more than 100000, as il
claims. what is the population of Los
Angeles, which had a total registered
vote in the recent election Of 166, ,11S?
"If San Francisco has the population
il claims, it means three and wo-thirds
persons for each registered voter. Fig
ured on the same basis, Los Angeles
would have a population of 500, 100--a
figure which Los Angeles has not pre-
sumed to claim.
"1f Los Angeles were figured on a
basis of three persons to each regis
tered voter. it would have 49S,354, or
nearly 10000 more than San Francisco
figured on the 81 basis.

WOULD PUT PRESIDENTS
ON THE CHARITY LIST
OF A B|LuONA|RE

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSl
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The Carnegie
corporation has announced a plan to
pension future American ex-presidents
with $4,000 annually to permit them
to devote their time and knowledge to
the public good. Presidents widows
will be pensioned unless they remarry.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Govern-
ment officials, almost unanimously
disapproved Carnegie's plan to pension
ex-Presidents. The general opinion 3
that acceptance would be beneath their
dignity. President Taft is busy on
his congressional message and is in
accessible to get his opinion. Con-
gressmen are discussing plans to lay
before congress to provide for expires
idents. Many favor Bryans plan to
seat them permanently in the senate
or house.
OYSTER BAY, n. Y. Nov. 22.-The-
odore Roosevelt flatly refused to COM
ment on Carnegie's presidential pen
sion plan.

CHEWS BOILED ONIONS

NEW YORK, Nov. 22-Mrs. Hetty
Green, probably the worlds richest wo-
man and certainly the worlds greatest
business woman, said today:
Il always have boiled onion with
me. and | always chew on one when
I am hungry. 1t is the greatest prote@-
tion in the world against disease germs
I have been doing this 30 years. and
have not had a sore throat in that
time. All women should do the same
thing, and would. too, if it were not
for their vanity"
The worlds greatest business woman
is still against woman suffrage. Il
do not believe in it at ALL" she snapped
when asked about it,
Mrs. Green said she could not state
the amount of her fortune. II may De
worth S25. 900 or 1 may be worth
5000, ,000,0 900. I would have to guess
But early next year my son Ned and
l are going to take an inventory, ther
we will know definitely the value Of
our estate"

SAVES VICTIM OF HICCOUGHS

Los ANGELES, Nov 22.-Hastening g
to his bedside with a medicine that
brought almost instant relief, Mrs. F.
G.. Faulkner, $50 West Third street
saved the life of J. H. Carver, a gro
cery man of Long Beach. Mrs. Faulk-
ner read in paper that Carver was
near death from a protracted and vio-
lent case Of hiccoughs and immediate
ly started for the sufferers home n
Long Beach.
Introducing herself, she said a re
tired physician several years ago gave
her prescription for her husband
who was attacked by hiccoughs. Sew
eral times since then she has been
able to arrest dangerous cases with
the medicine. A dose was admins
tered to Carver and the convulsions
became less, then disappeared.
Mrs. Faulkner declined to accept any
money for the medicine.
1T was given to me for nothing
and l could not charge for it, she
explained. Il am glad to be able
to take it where it is needed"

GOVERNOR JOHNSON URGES
PROCRESS|vES TO CONTEST

tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 22.-Charac
terizing as unjust the decision of the
appellate court in the election contest
in Los Angeles and referring to the
status resulting from the contest
brought by Democrats as due to ef-
forts of hired thugs at the polls
and "hypocritical pretense of a judi
cial decision, Governor Johnson
lengthily telegraphed Meyer Lissner
urging the Progressives to continue
the fight and declared il to be imma- =
terial who gets California's electoral
vote, but of utmost Importance the
manner of counting votes.
Governor Johnson's message reads:
1T is reported in the press that the
Progressives, because of the courts
decision in the matter of the canvass
of Los Angeles returns, are going II
quit. 1 trust the report is erroneous
1t continues by saying: THE votes le-
ultimately cast by our men must be
cry Progressive in Southern California
will make every effort TO see the Los
Angeles vote squarely counted and
that the decision of the voters will not
be altered or overturned by unjust iu
dical decision or otherwise"

DECIDES FOR WILSON

Los ANGELES, Nov. 22-The decis-
ion of the appellate court, handed
down yesterday, apparently insures the
plurality of Woodrow Wilson in Cali
fcrnia at about $50 votes and nearly
all. if not ALL of the electors sent from
this state will be Democrats. For n
time it was believed that the decision
. would have the effect of throwing out
the entire vote of Los Angeles coAnty.
which gave Roosevelt a majority of
10000, but this fear proved unfounded
when advices from the secretary of
state were received.
The supervisors announced that
there would be sufficient time to coun:
all the votes before Monday and it was
their understanding that all votes
must be in the hands of the secretary
of state not later than that day, but
the secretary declared that the law
was directory, and not mandatory in
that respect and that he would count
the votes whenever they were sent TO
him.
Progressive leaders have not given
up the fight and will seek other legal
means of obtaining what they claim
was rightfully theirs by a fair count
of all votes cast in the election.
The Democrats are jubilant over the
decision and declare that it will give
the state to Wilson, because all re-
turns must be in the hands of the sec
retary of state not later than Monday
and 1t will be impossible for the can
vassing of the Los Angeles returns to
be completed by that time.
The Progressive leaders of Los An
geles county are filed with indigna-
tion at the decision which the court
made in regard to the petition of the
Democrats to have the votes counted
by tally instead of by official totals.
1t will probably mean the loss of Cali
fornia from the Progressive column
and placing her in the Democratic
rank.

still Ill Treating the Indian
colchester Union and Advertiser: F.

Rochester Union and Advertiser: For
some time past the New York Herald
has been printing articles on our treat
| ment of the Indian, showing "the dis
| graceful failure of the national gov
ernment in administering the affairs
we have wronged the Indian is pretty
generally recognized, but it was popu-
| larly supposed that we were now treat
| ing them with some approach to de-
cency. This is evidently wrong, for
the Herald has shown that we are
! still trying to kill them off and rob
those whom we cannot kill. That there
is authority for this statement is seen
| in the following editorial extract from
| our New York contemporary:
The Herald yesterday published an
| interview with Francis f. Leupp, re-
| Gently the head OF the Indian bureau
in the interior department. and a noted
writer on Indian affairs. Mr.. Leupp
holds that reform in the relations be-
tween the government and the Indi-
ans is a matter Of the greatest impor-
tance.
He shows that congress should make
more appropriations for the welfare
of the Indian or permit the use of
some IF the $500, 100000 of property
of the Indians themselves to protect
them from the ravages of disease and
from scheming men who not only want
their lands but their lives.
THAT there is an excessive percent
matter of easy proof
For instance, Edgar B. Merritt law
officer of the office OF Indian affairs,
declared in the Herald that while the
death rate among the whites averages
only Is per 1000, the death rate among
the Indians is more than 80 per 1000,
while 80 per cent of the number of
deaths among Indians is due to tuber-
culosis and only about II per cent
among the whites is due to that dis
ease.
1.-The inevitable result of the course
now being pursued by the government
of the United States is to exterminate
the red men completely, while hordes
of greedy adventurers find fault only
because the process Of determination
is not more speedy
at is high time the national con-
science was aroused regarding this
matter"
There seems to be great difficulty IN
arousing the public conscience over the
fate of the Indian. He is left to the
protection of professional politicians
who protect not him. but the swindlers
who are trying to exploit him. It
would be a great deal better if the
indian bureau were taken out Of poll
tics and made a real bureau composed
of men who understand the Indians
and their needs and who feel the ne
cessity of repairin gthe wrongs we
have done them. A bureau Of this
kind, dominated by spirit of char
ity, could greatly ameliorate the condi-
ton of the Indian.
