appointed to Inquire Into nnd report as
to the organisation and policy that
should prevail In the expenditure <>f
pBBMc moneys provided for sclontillc
experimentation and research in tho in

i I, il. Bailey of Cornell uni
versity to Presldenl David Starr Jor
dan of Lrlnnd Stanford university, a
r which was received i>y Oifford
Pinchot. chief of the forestry service.
Mr. Bailey Is president of the araocia
i agriculture collpkos and experi
ment stations which tho commission
represents and Dr. Jordan Is chairman
of tho commission.
This commission has hold several ses
sions In Washington In the last few
days, during wnlch the work of the
Various members was laid out.
The members have discussed the pro
posed work with President Roosevelt,
and it Is stated that he is much in
tereatad in what It is expected to ac
complish.
President Bailey's letter says:
Bailey's Letter
"The occasion for the creating of the
Commission lies in the fact that in tho
very rapid evolution of experimentation
and research in agriculture in the
United States there has not yet arisen
a clear understanding of mutual limits
and relationships or a settled policy In
relation to many large public questions.
We need to work out principles of
action.
"There undoubtedly needs to be a co
relation and harmonizing of subjects
and methods, an understanding of the
proper scope, function and limitations
of national and state agencies; a con
ception of the relation of institutions
in the state to federal appropriations
and control; of the most effective dis
tribution of investigation and efforts
among the different state and national
institutions: consideration of the Influ
ence exterted in research in agricul
ture by the current methods of appro
priations by legislatures, of the relation
of the individual worker to institution
organization: discussion of what con
stitutes research that shall produce
useful and worthy results; the rela
tion of this research to the teaching
and publicity functions of the insti
tutions; consideration of the relation
of research in agriculture to the gen
eral body of science and the co-ordina
tion of them, and in general such a di
recting of experiment and research In
the Interest of agriculture as shall com
pact and economize the work, render
it more fortlle and effective and inte
grate it with wise policies in the in
terest of the public welfare.
Needs Discussed
i "It lies with the commission to have
much or little of this field, but it will
be essential to consider the best meth
ods of organizing research work, the
mutual relations of experiment sta
tions and federal agencies and the gen
eral character of each report that may
issue from institutions founded on pub
lic money. The two members repre
senting tho association are familiar
with the questions that need most to
be discussed."*
President Bailpy says that the com
mission may consider any other re
search work supported by public money
that supports agricultural efficiency. It
cannot, he nays, neglect direct educa
tional questions insofar as they touch
the interrelation of experiment and
teaching in the Institutions and par
ticularly as they relate to the training
of men to undertake the research.

HUNTINGTON COMES
TO TAKE UP WORK
RETURNS TO CITY AFTER LONG
ABSENCE
Street Railway Magnate Has a Busy
Time Cut Out for Him— Rail.
way Extensions Are
Expected
Henry E. Huntlngton arrived from
the east last night on the California
limited after an absence of several
months.
The train was due shortly after 5
o'clock, but did not arrive until about
7 o'clock.
The street railway magnate was in
good health and did not seem to be
fatigued by his long overland journey.
Upon arrival at the Jonathan club
rooms at the top of the big Pacific
Electric building Mr. Huntington
threw down his traps and after a hasty
word of greeting to those who stood
ready to welcome him dashed out of
the building again to pay some calls.
A number of important moves in the
electric /ail way world have been await
ing the arrival of Mr. Huntington and
business has piled up for the chief.
First and foremost there are impor
tant extensions to* be considered. A
number of interior towns are awaiting
the advent of an electric line and In
several towns lots have been sold on
the strength of railroad communication
with Los Angeles. And then residents
of the suburbs are wondering If Mr.
Huntington will increase the rolling
stock and provide more cars on systems
like the University and West Adams
lines, where traffic has outgrown car
accommodations, according to persons
living in the southwest.
In Good Health
Mr. Huntington on his return to the
Jonathan club said in reply to questions
touching upon line extensions and addi
tional equipment:
"We are adding to our equipment
all the time. I know there is plenty
of business to attend to and I shall be
hard at work Monday. My health was
never better. I am glad to be back In
Los Angeles. I am always pleased to
return here. The journey was a pleas
ant one."
At the present time, when many rail
road presidents are foretelling hard
times and retrenchment in construction
work, it Is believed that Mr. Hunting
ton contemplates extending several in
terurban lines and reaching further
away frorh Los Angeles for additional
passenger and freight business.
But those close to the biggest street
railway owner in America say that
lie v. ill keep his counsel as to contem
work. They assert that the atti
tude of the city council will determine
Mr. Huntington'B course of action In
Los Angeles to some extent and that
the future course of events in railway
construction will depend upon many
circumstances.
I .hm night Mr. Huntington Intimated
that he must once more fully grasp all
the details of his gigantic undertak
ings before committing himself as to
his future policy In railroad extension.

REVELATIONS IN INSURANCE
ELECTIONS
International Policy Holders' Commit.
tee Tells of Obstructive and Other
Tactics to Keep Old Crowd
in Office
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 7.— The Inter
national policy holders' committee issued
a statement t.,day pointing out alleged
violations of the present insurance com
panies' recent election of officers and
the a'leged inefficiency of the depart
ment of insuraree in conducting tha
supervision of the election.
"Tho ir.u.-rnatlonal committee," says
the statement ' has maintained tor
months in both the Mutual and New
York idfe canvass a force of watchers
and translators and every el|ort has
been made to protect the interests of
policy holders who have voted against
the eld management, but the rulings of
the inspectors have been so uniformly
asrainst us and being fully satisfied
that it is imFossltle under the present
condi-.-ons to s-ecure a fair count of the
votes as cast we withdrew our watch
ers.
"From the beginning the companies,
with the assistance of the department
of Insurance, have evaded and nullified
in every way possible the law as en
acted.
"The companies filed lists of policy
holders at Albany which contained
thousands of Incorrect names with false
and misleading addresses while they
gave agents and canvassers not alone
the correct names and addresses but
the policy numbers of the insured."
This statement sets forth the various
forms of irregularity charged and de
clared it was practiced on a wholesale
scale.
Illustration is given of a family which
was recorded as casting five votes, the
"ment adding:
"Investigation showed that not a
member of the family voted In the re
cent election and that they had not
resided at the stated address in over
two years.
"Numerous cases developed where
agents had sent in proxies and ballots
bearing the names of policy holders
who had been dead for years, while
many ballots were cast bearing the
names of former policy holders who had
allowed their policies to lapse.
"The officers of these companies and
the department of insurance are re
sponsible for this condition of affairs."

PANAMA GIVES
GIFTS TO STEVENS
LATE CHIEF ENGINEER GETS
ROYAL SEND-OFF
Declares That with Machinery Com.
pleted. Homes for 25,000 and
Other Facilities Advanced,
Canal Is Booming
■
By Associated Press.
COLON, April 7.— John F. Stevens,
former chief engineer of the Panama
canal, was given a splendid ftendoff last
night previous to his departure tod
for the United States.
W , O. Blcrd, general manager of the
Panama railroad, acted as chairman.
Mr. Stevens, In a speech, gave John F.
Wallace, whom he succeeded as chief
engineer, the credit for the organiza
tion of the work. I
Mr. Stevens said ho had only modi
fied when necessary. He ,sald tho
preparations deemed necessary two
years ago were underestimated, and
though the working forces had since
boon doubled they were still were In
adequate. But now. he declared, the
machinery had been completed, hom«s
had been provided for 25,000, there were
railroad facilities for handling over a
million yards of earth monthly and the
organization was so advanced that it
was possible to carry on the work in
both dry and wet seasons.
10 snld ho firmly believed the canal
would be opened in January, 1916. He
did not seek the position, and was leav
ing It of hs own volition.
Mr. Stevens nsked his local friends
not to take their complaints to Wash
ington but to make them to Maj. Goe
thals, the new chairman of the cannl
commission, for whom he solicited the
same loyalty as had been given him.
Just before sailing today Mr. Stevens
was presented with a two-volume tes
timonial signed by American and other
employes of the canal, expressing their
loyalty to him. The employes also sub
scribed for three gifts intended to be
handed down by Mr. Stevens to his
three sons.

ENGINEER'S BURNS
CAUSE HIS DEATH
"HOT STUFF" WARMINGTON
DIES AT HOSPITAL
Accident at Colton Was the First In
Which Famous Engine Driver
Had Been in His
Career
Engineer ClareJVce E. Warmington,
better known as "Hot Stuff 'Warming
ton," the man whose hand was on the
throttle of train No. 9, which jumped
the rails a mile beyond Colton the night
of March 29 and Instantly killed twenty
five passengers and seriously injured
more than eighty others, died at the
Sisters' hospital at 8:20 yesterday morn
ing as a result of injuries received in
the wreck.
During the twenty years "Warming
ton had served as engineer on the Yuma
run the wreck which caused his death
was the first In which his train had
been. He was looked upon by his asso
ciates on the railroad as one of the
ablest engineers and had gained a repu
tation for ability such as few men have.
The fireman, Victor Clapp, who was
with Warmington in the cab at the time
of the wreck, escaped without serious
Injury.
So far no arrangements have beel
made for the funeral. Warmington
lived at 1311 Buena Vista street, and it
Is probable the funeral will be held
from thlLplace.

are now circulating petitions to keep
the license at the uld figure of $ljj a.

Councilman Yonkln of tho sixth ward
Introduced the bill which rained the

would drive all fakern from (he city.
Ho rich wore their barv«ati that very

Instead il>> y Ml their wit» to work
and are now trying the old plan of cir
luiating petitions.
From glances at Home of the, signed
lists the names are far from represen
tative: many are questioned as being
of mythical persons, few are taxpayers,
voters or residents.
Several mediums, with tearful eyes,
have also called on Mayor Harper to
plead against his signing 1 the bill which,
they claim, will lake their means of
livelihood mini them.
As The Herald has repeatedly print
pel. thousands of dollars are tAken
monthly from victim* of the devices of
these sure-thing fortune tellers. The
police and city fathers would break up
the practice altogether If they could.
Fulling In this, the higher license has
been decided on us one effective way
of getting at the gentry.
The Antl-Fnkor^'JnelPty, with head
quarters at 220 West Fifth street, Is
collecting evidence to show that few
of these petitions are worth the paper
they arc written on, Their wording Is
as follows:
"To the Honorable, the Mayor and
City Council of the City of tios Angeles:
"The undersigned citizens and tax
payers hereby protest ngalnst the ac
tion of the council In raising the
amount of license tax fixed by flection
2 8 of ordinance No. 8097 (N. 50. and
ask that the mayor veto the same and
that It be rescinded by the council for
the following reasons:
"First— That any occupation tax Is
unjust, oppressive and contrary to the"
spirit, If not the letter, of the consti

"Second— That. if it were constitu

NO PENSION FOR
OLD INDIAN SCOUT
GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HELP
HIM IN OLD AGE
Denied Admission to Soldiers' Home,
Although He Lost His Health
While Helping to Sub
due Redskins
Because no provision has been made
by the federal government for volun
teer scouts wounded in the Indian wars,
James Wheeler, a noted Indian fighter
in the early days of Oregon's history,
is forced to remain at the county hos
pital, while thousands of soldiers who
were never wounded are in soldiers'
homes.
Seated In front of one of the ward
building's at the county hospital yes
terday, Wheeler was peering wistfully
at the far off foothills clothed In vivid
green.
"I am not complaining," said the
aged scout with a winsome smile light
ing up his rugged face, "but I think it
is rather strange that the government
has never made any provision for us
volunteers In tho Indian wars of the
seventies. \
"I enlisted in a company at La
Grande, Ore., and acted as scout ■dur
ing the war with the Nez Perces,
Plute and Snake Indians. I was injured
in a skirmish and have never been a
well man since that day in 1878."
Has a Broken Hip
The physicians at the county hospital
say Wheeler's hip was broken and that
the bone never kitted properly.
Smoking an old briar pipe which
some visitor had given him, the scout
leaned on his cane and in picturesque
language told of the border fighting
In which he had taken part.
"You see, the trouble first arose
about moving an Indian chief called
Moses to another reservation. And
then straying bands of braves who had
been in the fight where General Custer
had been killed In the Modoc country
came over the mountains and told the
Bannocks and Snakes how easy It was
to kill off the palefaces.
"The first we hedrd was a lot of
loggers were surprised and killed in
the hills.
"Our town raised a company and I
was a scout, knowing the whole terri
tory well, having punched cattle and
trapped there for years.
Lost Health Fighting
"Our company saw active service, but
was not rated as an organized volun
teer command, as General Howard
never formally accepted us. So none
of the boys were entitled to pensions,
and I found that I could not enter a
soldiers' home, although I lost my
health while helping to keep tho red
skins from the settlements."
Wheeler, while in advance of the lit
tle force of volunters and regulars,
came into an ambush in a horseshoe
bend in the mountain trail. He was
struck by a bullet and hurled from his
horse, the animal dying from a wound
in the heart and falling heavily over his
master, breaking the hip of the brave
scout. When the Indians were finally
dislodged Wheeler was picked up and
carried back to the settlements, but
his life of activity was over, and slnco
1878 he has hobbled along on a, cane
and has been denied admission to the
last refuge of old soldiers and is now
living on the kindly charity of tho
county hospital physicians.
Chinese Helpless Cripple
Ah How, better known as "Charlie,"
was sitting on the porch of one of the
county hospital buildings yesterday
talking animatedly to a spruce young
Chinese from the city.
"Charlie" has beon an inmate of the
hospital for twelve years and is a
helpless cripple, facing a living death
with all the stoicism of his race.
And yet during all theso years that
the Chinese has been confined to his
wheel chair, with his broken back
fastened with bands and straps, local
Chinese have never failed to remember
him and in their kindly sympathy show
an exampln of the Golden Rule, al
though they are not classed as Chris
tians.
"Charlie" is a favorite among the
outdoor patients, the doctors Kay, he
caUM Of liis cheerful face and his read
iness to do any bit of work his skill
ful hiiinlM ran iMiompllsh.
An adept In Hharpeulng tools and
knives. "Chaylle" keeps all the
nary utensils in porfeet repair and in
lelsuri Hi'iiia whittles out toys and
strange looking images from lilts of
bone and place* of wood.
Back Is Broken
Ah How was once a vegetable gar
dener and every day, rain or shins,
went through certain districts of j.,rm
Angeles with his cart. One day he
drove across a, little ditch. He was
hurled from his wagon and pinned be
neath the heavy wheels.
When he was taken to the city re
ceiving hospital It was found his back
was broken. it was not expected that
the Chinese would live when be was
sent to the county hospital, but he
pulled through, to remain a helpless In
valid for the rest of his life. He Is
one of i lie old-timers of the Institution
now and has seen many changes there.
Ready to pace on Into the oriental
bt-yoiid. "Charlie" is niaklim hi
of hl« crippled life and Is mor<
ful than many a more favored Indi
vidual.

in the downstairs part of his house. A

ing In his hall and he arose to extin
guish It. Ac he opened the door lead

door slam and rushed to the window In
time to see ■ tall, heavyset man run
ning down the street. Lelby ran l " his
bureau and obtained hu» revolver, Ho

four shots after the man, but failed to
