NOTED REFORMER
TALKS AT BANQUET
CLINTON ROGERS WOODRUFF
SPEAKS ON CITIES '-
GUEST OF MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
Secretary of National Organization
Tells Local Workers of Prog.
res* In Improving Clvlo
Government
Puzzling problems of municipal gov
ernment were discussed before the Lot
Angeles Municipal -league last evening
by Clinton Holers "Woodruff, secretary
of the National Municipal league, at a
banquet given in his honor at the Lan
hershlm hotel.
The highest praise ■was given to the
work of the local organization by the
speaker, who has made a life study ol
the. problems confronting American
cities.
According to Mt. Woodruffs Idea
there is but one way in which munici
pal reforms can be effected and that is
through . public opinion, and the best
•way. to mold public opinion is through
local organizations such as municipal
leagues.
Civic Patience Needed
"While it ia necessary to.be aggres
sive It -is absolutely imperative to be
patient," said Mr. Woodruff. "Don't
expect results too soon; they affect too
many people. A sudden burst of pub
lic opinion Is too often insincere. The
kind wd need is that which come 3
slowly and is the result of absolute
conviction."
In speaking of the rapid strides
•which municipal reform has been tak
ing,in the last few years, Mr. Wood
ruff declared that it was nothing more
than the natural outgrowth of the in
creasing population of business centers
and conscious demand* 'of citizens for
more . advanced ideas. -V' '
"According to the last consuls 33 per
cent of the population -of } the* United
States is living directly under munici
pal government and half as many more
under, its . Influence," ' he .-., said. "Tc
demonstrate this I' will say that th«
expenditure in Philadelphia, in 1800
■was • seventy cents per capita. One
hundred years later it was $29.50 per
capital.
Growth of League Work
"A few years ago a local municipal
organization, j composed of men whe
worked for the benefit of the govern
ment and not for political jobs, was
practically unknown. Today we have
in » this country 750 such organizations.
"The exposure of great municipal
graft in the last few years is not indi
cative of greater corruption, but, on
the other hand, it shows that the people
are' awakening to the fact that such
things which were taken for granted a
few years ago can now be readily and
advantageously dispensed with."
Mr. Woodruff will speak at Venice
tomorrow afternoon, after which he
■will go to Portland.

INSTANTANEOUS HEATERS
A MENACE TO SAFETY
Coroner's Jury Recommends That
Board of Health Compel Use
of Warning Placards
In the verdict rendered by a cor
oner's jury yesterday at the inquest
over the remains of. Miss Grace Mur
ray, a recommendation was iTin.de that
the board of . health order that notices
bo placed in bathrooms where instan
taneous water heaters are being used.
' Within a short time several deaths
have been caused by, heaters which
exhausted all the oxygen in the room.
As the autopsey on the body of Miss
Murray, found Saturday night at the
Cain apartment house, showed that
she had died from the lack of oxygen
in the air and the , presence of the
deadly carbonic acid gas thrown off.
by the heater, the jury considered that
ie is time for the health department
to take precautions against any more
fatalities. ' : ,
. Miss,. Murray's.. relatives ihave -been
notified and the body will be taken
back to her home.

CLARK ROAD TO USE
S. P. TRACKS FOR FREIGHT
Agreement Between Llnei Goat Into
Effect Today— Limitation* Are
Clearly Defined
Beginning with today the Salt Lake
road, by the arrangement made a week
a gro with the Southern Pacific, will be
In a position to use the rails of the
Harrlman lines for the handling of
freight.
By the terms of the contract the
Salt Lake may solicit eastbound
freight and make deliveries over the
Southern Pacific road within a dis
trict extending south from Santa Bar
bara and Mojave and as far south as
Banning.
By this understanding the, Clark
road. It is expected, will do a largely
increased freight business. As , the
short line it is favored both by the
shippers of the east and those of the
Pacific coast.
It was stated at the general head
quarters yesterday that for the present
at least the train schedule will not be
changed* In time or enlarged.
With the opening of the citrus fruit
season the Clark road will put on a
fant fruit special service In order to
compete with the Initial lines. Last
season for the benefit of tho few ship
pern who were so situated as to give
the Salt Lake their business a seventy
hour schedule was maintained but
railway officials say that now the road
in in a much better condition, this time
will be shortened.
No arrangements for the transfer of
freight have been made between the
Clark road and the Santa Fe but now
that the Southern Pacific has Joined
hands with the Salt LnUn it Is expected
that the Santa Fe will be brought
into the fold.
General Freight and- Passenger
Agent E. W. Gillett stated yesterday
that officials of the Santa Fe had not
yet been approached on the subject of
the interchange of switching and ter
minal privileges but that the question
would be taken up soon.
