Bankers Aid Roads

SACRAMENTO, June 16.-Concern-
ing the statement that Southern Cali
fornia is securing more state highway
construction under the S1S,000,00O
bond issue, Burton A. Towne, presi-
dent of the commission, said
THE big bond buying houses have
not been buying these bonds because
there is no market for bonds and also
because they carry but 4 per cent in
tereSt, when investors can get 6 per
cent and secure ironClad security. This
failure of the bond houses to purchase
has resulted in keeping back the work
mission. acting with the state treas
urer and the state board of control,
to make efforts to place the bonds
in California with the banking houses.
1T is true that more work is being
done in the south and this has been
brought about by reason of the south
ern bankers purchasing more of the
bonds than the bankers of the north.
mo work is being done, however,
on any route that was not selected
and laid out previous to this bond
selling scheme going into effect. The
bankers in Southern California bought
the bonds with the understanding that
the money was to be used on highway
routes within their territory and the
commission has done so.
"Work will be done as fast as the
bonds are sold. But no discrimination
is being shown. An effort was made

LESTER LAUGHL|N DESERTS
FAMILY WITHOUT SUPPORT

The attention Of Undersheriff Charles
Applestill was called yesterday to the
fact that Mrs. Lester Laughlin was
in cottage near the alfalfa mill suffer
ing from deprivation. Going to the place
he found Mrs. Laughlin, her ten-year-
old daughter by a former husband and
her -yearold daughter by Laughln
without food in sight in the house.
except for crumbs Of bread, Laughlin
having sent them nothing for their
support for several weeks.
The wOman'S mind was apparently
affected to certain extent by her Suf-
ferings, and she and the children We're
taken to the county hospital, where
they were placed under the care of
DR.. Virgil McCombs.
Mr.. AppleStill wired Judge Cole, who
is in Los Angeles. to- investigate the
case there, as it is believed Laughlin
is under parole from the Los Angeles
courts requiring him to support the
wife and children
Dr.. McCombs said today the case
IS peculiar, the woman apparently
having miScOnceptiOn of several mat
ters. She thought the husband was
paying her bills. and could not realize
why she was in the hospital. At the
same time she imagined her husband
to be Mason, and thought the Masons
should assist her. At one time she
would claim 10 be well. and at another
time would complain of her whole side
being numb.
The children show no outward evi-
dence of having suffered for want Of
food.
Lester Laughlin, the husband. was in
Ell Centro, having been in several lines
Of business here at different times.
He is a nephew of the late Homer
LauShlin OF Los Angeles, and tele-
gram has been sent to Homer Laughln
Jr., asking where Lester can be found.

he has been notified, but has not yet

The couple were married here about
three years ago, the wife up to that

Garfield controls more land in the
San Luis Rey valley than any other
individual and is buying more every
time he gets the opportunity. 1t is
reported he bought out the interests
of Huntington and Kerckhoff in the
South Coast Land Company, which
owns land extending from Oceanside
to and including the great Warmers
ranch.
Garfield Is devoting his energies 10
the Improvement of land at Bonsali
ten miles from the nearest railroad
At This point he has a large crew of
men placing 1000 acres of land under
cultivation and has announced his in
tenti0n Of establishing a town site on
adjoining land. to be known as Garfield
City, instead of Bensall. He is having
plans completed for a $4,000 country
home, on which work will be COM
menced within a few weeks.
II is also reported that Garfield is
making arrangements to build a large
water system by the construction of
huge dam at the lower end of War
ner's ranch. where preliminary sound
ing work was done a year or more
ago. This dam will supply water for
the irrigation Of many thousands of
acres of land in the rich San Luis Rey
valley and on adjoining meSaS.
1t was learned yesterday from what
is believed to be a reliable source that
Henshaw, the wealthy Oakland banker
who is Interested in the development
of the San Luis Rey country, is ar
ranging finances with New York for the
of this water sSStem.
Another indication that the Santa Fe
proposes to enter the Imperial country
is offered in the purchase of 1000
acres of land on the edge Of the desert
at the mouth of the San Felipe pass
about year ago by Nat r. Titus. He
secured this property on Santa Fe Land
improvement COmpany's scrip, a cor
pOration which is controlled by the
Santa Fe railroad.
At the present time this land is
commercially valueless, but with a rail-
road passing through it the property
would Immediately become of great
value. 1t now is entirely inaccessible

Question Of DAMAGES

LONDON, June i6.-Whether suf-
fragette leaders can be held reSpon-
sible financially for damages to prop
erty committed by the rank and file,
and to what extent, is to be decided
in case that opened in the Kings
Bench division today before Justice
Bucknill and a jury
The plaintiffs are the West End
ClothierS' Company and 90 other firms
in Piccadilly, Haymarket, Regent street,
Bond street, Oxford street and other
fashionable shopping thoroughfares Of
the west end whose windows were
smashed in the Amilitant raids Of No
vember, 1911, and March, 1912, and
the defendants are Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, her daughter. Christabel
and Mr.. and Mrs. Pethrick Lawrence
Damages agSregating $4,000 are
claimed, ii being charged that the raids
were directly due to the eXhortatiOns
OF the PankhurstS and the Lawrences
in their capacity as executive officers
of the Womens Social and Political
Union. Some time after the last raid
took place the LawrenceS severed their
connection with the organization on
the ground that militancy was being
carried too far, but they are in the
present action alleged to have been
equally guilty with the Pankhursts.
More than 100 witnesses have been
summoned by the prosecuting mer-
chants, including 40 police who made
arrests Oh the two occasions. 1t is
understood also the plaintiffs will be
able to use much Of the documentary
evidence unearthed by Scotland Yard
when the headquarters Of the Women's
Social and Political Union were raided
last April.

STEPHENS WANTS VESSELS
oWAEO BY GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Because
of revelations of the existence of
steamship~ss>alhines in the Atlantic ana
the Pacific, and the disclosures Of
.mOnOpolistic conditions as the result of
the investigations of the house mer-
chant marine committee, Congressman
Stephens of Los Angeles said he would
press for the enactment by this con-
gress of his bill for a government
owned line of steamships to ply
through the Panama canal between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, touching
the most important ports on each
coast
Mr. Stephens, who, as a member Of
the house merchant marine committee,
took an important part in the investi-
cation, declares the shipping business
of the world is being carried on in a
fashion harmful to the best interests
of the people of the world. Radical
steps for reform, he believes, must be
taken, the establishment of a govern
ment owned line being one of them.
Furthermore, he says, the revelations
thus far made are only part Of the
truth and that much more which is
Objectionable will be disclosed on a
further inquiry. 1t is the intention to
pursue the investigation further.
Mr.. Stephens said: "Steamship lines
Of the world are tied up into a very
few corporations. The freight and
passenger carrying business of the
world is booked into few divisions.
1t is shown, as the result Of the in
vestigation, that each division is con-
trolled by some particular steamship
line or association of lines and that
they divide the business, either under
contract with one another, through ac-
tual understanding with one another,
or on some plan that amounts to the
same thing.
For instance, practically no freight
goes from the United States to South
America without first obtaining rate
from Germany. The rate is given out
by the German office and it cannot be
varied until consent is obtained from
the German office. 1t is shown that
these practical monopolies exist on the
Pacific as well as the Atlantic.
''The inquiry, as far as it has gone,
cOnvinces me that government owned
line plying between Atlantic and Pacific
ports through the Panama canal is, to
say the least, one Of the solutions, one
of the ways of correcting the condi-
tiOns which now exist"

I In connection with this project II
also is proposed to connect up with
! the -Elsinore- Perris line run
ming into Riverside. With this branch
the Santa Fe would have a direct route
from Imperial valley to Los Angeles.
II would cut off the Southern Pacific
from the big Imperial valley business
which the latter now handles eXclu-
sively. The road also Will provide a
good route from the valley to san
Diego.
There are two routes to select from.
connecting the san Luis Rey valley
line with Temecula. the southern ter
minus of the Perris line. One plan
is to follow the MonSerate creek -
Rainbow and thence to Temecula. The
other is to leave the san Luis Rey
valley at Pala and pass over the ridge
at that point. Either route taps rich
territory, especially that passing
through the Monserate valley.
If the Temecula line is connected
up in this way it will fulfill request
for which the citizens of San Diego
have been clamOrng for years. 1t is
lot exactly what the san Diego people
have been asking for, but it will serve
the same purpose, provide a shorter
route to the east over the Santa Fe
without passing through Los Angeles.
The MOnserate or Pala routes VIII
eliminate the necessity Of building in
the Temecula canyon and a better
grade will be obtainahle. The main
line into san Diego passed through
Temecula canyon once upon time
but the track was washed out two or
'hree times by flood waters and 1t was
finally abandoned about a score of years
ago, leaving a gap between Temeculd
and FallbrOOk. which now is the north
ern terminus Of a branch line running
into OceanSide.
In support Of the statement that
the Santa Fe plans building into I'm
perial valley from OceanSide is re
port that a t00-foot right of way
already has been arranged for through
the Pauma grant, great rich tract,
containing ~ 900 acres of land in the
san Luis Rey valley. 1t is claimed
that when w. J. HollingswOrth and
Robert Marsh secured this property
about a year ago they made an agree
ment with the railroad officials to deed
right Of way where needed and the
Santa Fe promised have line run
ming through the property when 5000
acres are placed under cultivation.
The operations of C. A. Garfield in
the valley also indicate that a railroad
is soon to penetrate that section. Can

SAN DIEGO SEES PROOF OF
COMING OF THE SANTA FE

San Diego Union: A series Of Incl
dents dating back about year form
strong chain of evidence which tends
to confirm the recent reports that the
Santa Fe is planning an invasion Of
the Imperial valley With a line con-
Meeting with the main coast tracks in
san Diego county at Oceanside.
Many San DieganS who have studied
the situation, investigating the trans
fers of certain property and other OC-
currenceS of the last several months,
are satisfied in their own minds that
the Santa Fe intends to continue the
construction of the branch line now
building up the san Luis Bey valley
from Oceanside. until it reaches the
rich Imperial valley.
why is the Santa FC spending So
600 to build "a spur track Of seven
miles in length to handle a crop of
sugar beetS which can be moved in
thirty days."
This is one of the questions being
discussed among those who have
studied the situation, referring to The
new OceanSide branch line. This track
is being constructed OStenSibly for the
purpose Of tapping the lower end of
the San Luis Rey valley only and thus
encourage the raising Of beets, to
which the land is admirably adapted.
But those who have seen the class
of work being put into the line believe
differently. The say the railroad would
not spend more than $4,000 a mile
and build heavy standard road bed
on a low percentage grade when it
could serve the announced purpose by
the expenditure of a small fraction Of
that sum.
QUESTIONS ASKED
why are Santa Fe officials So in
terested in Oceanside property if they
do not know that something will de
yelOp in the near future?"
This is another question being dis
cussed in regard to the situation. 1t
is claimed that Santa Fe men have
been buying land in Oceanside and
vicinity and that two of them are in
terested in the twO-stOry concrete bus
mess block now being constructed on
the main street OF the town.
The report that the Santa Fe in
tends to build a line from Oceanside
to Imperial valley came direct from
an official of the railroad, who told
a reporter of the plans, with the re
quest that his name be not used, as
it might cost him his position. He
claimed to have seen papers in Los
Angeles which made him absolutely
certain of his statements.
The plan Of the railroad, accord ,
ing to his statement, is to follow the
San Luis Rey river its entire length
to Warmers ranch, where it will pass
over the divide and follow the San
Felipe pass to the Imperial valley.

DIRECTORS OF CHAMBERS
ARE AT BAT IN NEW GAME

Now the fact is noted that the d-
rectors OF the Imperial Valley Chamber
Of Commerce propose to go to bat with
publicity campaign, ignoring the mis-
fortune they met with in placing con-
fidence in the wrong man for secretary.
1t is probable that the directors will
hereafter aim to give more of their
personal attention to the affairs of the
chamber, leaving it less in the hands
OF the secretary, whoever may be Sc
lected, and the probability is that the

chamber will hereafter be run on
basis friendly to the newspapers OF the
valley, rather than on an antagonistio
basis.
Several candidates have appeared for
the position Of secretary Of the cham
Der, and within a few days it is ex~
pected to be in running order.
The directors met Saturday to can
vass the situation, and decided that il
would be foolish not to continue with

NEW BOARD OF CONTROL
 BILL IS INTRODUCED
Provides Attorney General With Membership md Salary; Cuts
 Out Citizen Member

The provisions of the new board of control bil introduced on Satur- day in the house of representatives. melted much comment among the members of tie legisla ture yesterday. Both the members of the adminis- tration forces as well as the antis took occasion express themselves quite freely Under the provisions of the bill, the board of control. which is given full charge of the public institutions and grounds of the state, is to be composed of the governor, the state auditor and the attorney general As the board is at present constituted 1T is composed of the governor, the auditor and the cit izen member who is appointed by the governor. The citizen member is the secretary of the board and draws salary for the conduct of his office
 Under the bill as suggested. the secretary will not be q member of the board, but will he elected by the board because of his peculiar fitness. He will act as purchasing agent of the state for the institutions, but IS responsible to the board proper for his conduct. and makes no purchases except upon the approval of the board The salary of the clerk as fixed in the bin is $250 per month a greater salary than the present cit izen member gets. and equal to the cOmmissiOrerships
 There is another change in the bill that is quite radical. This provision makes the attorney general a mem Der of the board, but it also pro- vides that he shall receive a salary of $200 per month for such service, but 1t prohibits him from engaging in private practice This will raise the stipend of the attorney general from $2500 as now provided in the con- stitution to $500; making him the highest Salaried officer in the state This section also has another ef- feet It enables the legislature to indefinitely postpone the Johnson bill making the salary of the attor- ney general S36OO per year and pro- hbiting him from engaging in pri- Vate practice.
 The friends of the administration say the present system is all right
 that il makes the governor the re sponsible party to the people, makes him the head of the administration as he should be The friends of the bill say the present law places too much power in the hands of the gov ernOr whereas the proposed bill re- duces that power and places it in the hands of three men instead of one as heretofore.
 Whatever is the final outcome of the present disagreement between 1 the forces. right good fight is pre- dicted in both house and senate 1 upon the bill. The proposed measure was introduced by the committee on state institutions and public ex penditures of which both Craig and | Jacobs are members. In the former 1 sessions of the present legislature 1 two board of control bills. one each l by Craig and Jacobs These bills passed the house and were killed in l the senate It is said the present I bill will meet the same fate.
