4 PIERCE ENDS OIL LAND ARGUMENTS First Assistant Secretary Interior Holds Final Session on Yard Decision LEAVES FOR BAKERSFIELD Nevada Men Defend Government Position, Which Is Held Specific Ruling That the decision In the Yard case Is specific and not general and cannot apply to all placer locations; that It is based on a fraudulent location In the forest reserve under the allegation that the land contained mineral and that it should not prevail when a man had made a location in good faith and done his work to the point of discovery, was the chief argument of the opposition to the Yard case, the hearing of which was concluded yesterday by Frank Pierce, first assistant secretary of the interior. There were some who argued that the Yard decision should he reversed, some that it should be upheld and some that the state laws and decisions of the supreme court of the United States ■were adequate to govern in placer min ing and should not, and could not, be disturbed by a decision of the interior or land departments. The Yard decision, being based on a case involving fraud, states among other things that one man is entitled to only twenty acres, or if there is a party of eight locators that only 160 acres can bo taken up and that these lands can not bo disposed of to an individual or company. For this reason the op positi m hiis been led by corporation lawyers, their argument being bnsed on a decision handed down by the state supreme court and sustained by the United States supreme court. It is the case of Miller vs. Chrisman. PEOPIVE BErNO ROBBED Miller was one of eight locators. The other seven transferred to him their right in the claim, and Miller in turn transferred to an oil company which the first discovery. In every part of the decision, the right to construc tive possession is upheld, thus acting In direct opposition to the Yard de cision. The Yard decision, based upon fraud ulent transactions in the forest reserve, roused the government to the fact that the people were being robbed, and it aims to pfevent wholesale fraud in the future. In cases where work has been done in good faith it would work a hardship to enforce the terms of the decision, and for this reason, it is said, a modification of the decision is likely, or some legislation favoring possessory rights where the law has been com plied with and a discovery made In good faith. On the land grabber, wllo has never acted In good faith, the Yard case de cision falls heaviest, for it is at him the decision is drected. The sole aim of the interior department, backed by the president, In writing this decision •was to eliminate as far as possible from the public domain the practice of graft, dummy locations and fraudulent constructive possession. A cabin here or a broken down boiler there does not constitute such a possession, although many locations have held under such pretext. CANT WORK HARM It is the consensus of opinion among those who are In favor of letting the Tard decision stand in its entirety that It cannot work harm, that It must in variably result in good to all the peo ple and be a means of saving what Is left of the public domain from devasta tion at the hands of greed. Tho Yard decision was stanchly de fended yesterday before Judge Pierce by C. O. Whittimore, representing C. L. Lyman .and other Nevada men, who •were ejected from lands now held by the Honolulu Consolidated Oil company In the Elks hills of the Sunset-Midway field. This Is the ■William Matson com pany. Mr. Whittimore submitted a petition to the interior department through Judge Pierce asking that an investiga tion be made, claiming that his clients •were ejected by gun men who now hold possession. The Honolulu Consolidated ■was the first settler on the disputed land, but Mr. Whittimore alleges that eoine ten square miles were located by those back of the Honolulu by dummies and that In view of recent rulings such locations are not legal. His eight lo cators went on 160 acres of this land and located. He claims that the Hono lulu gun men forced them off with nei ther legal nor equitable right to do so. ARMY NOT NECESSARY Judge Pierce interrupted to inquire ■what the remedy would be, adding, in somewhat of a Jest, "Do you think it ■will be necessary to order out the Unit ed States army?" "No," answered Mr. Whittimore. "It Is a matter to be decided liy either the Interior department or the courts." "Well," rejoined Judge pierce,, "you might wait a long time, for the Interior department Is almost as slow as tho courts." Mr. Whittimore cited the federal ease of Hanson vs. Craig to Bhow where the Miller vs. Crisman case was at error, and that therefore where Judge Frank Short, who argued against tlie Yard decision Monday on the strengt] of Miller vs. Crisman, was ai fault. The Hanson vs. Craig decision holds that a man rannot what he does not own, and Whlttimoro constructed this to mean that the Honolulu people h rißht to transfer holdings until a dis covery had been made thereon. L. W. Anderson, counsel for the T."n ion Oil company, opposed the Yard de cision, arguing along lines similar to those of Judge Short on Monday. Both being for tho corporations, they held to tho old standards, and that the spirit of the law, or an equitable adjustment of land 'matters, should prevail. E. L. Tolin, the. last to appear before Judges Tierce, also opposed the Yard ao cision, basing ills argument on facts brought by all who had preceded him. A summary of his argument was that the miner should be protected In his constructive possession, and that no law should Interfere with that which lie, through honest practice, had made for himself, a law that was adopted by congress long after it had been put into practice in mining camps. At the closo of the hearing Judge Pierce thanked all present for the great service they had rendered him and the interior department, and said the sub ject would be given most careful con sideration. He thanked especially the attorneys who presented the two sides and the Lob Angeles chamber of mines and oil, which arranged for the meet ing, hired the hall, and under whose auspices the hearing was held. Judge Pierco loaves tonight for tho Oil fleldß,-where ho will be the guest of the California OH Men's association and the board! of trade oX Coallnga and Uakersflcld. NITIATES ACTION ON CONSOLIDATION Mayor Sends Message to Council on the Merging of City and County WATER PROBLEM IS BIG ISSUE Executive Asks Authority to Ap point Committee to Con sider Question (Conttnned from Pace One) position of the Owens river water supply and the distribution of the power to be obtained from the generating plants to be constructed In connection with the aqueduct. It must be obvious, I think, from the public hearings that have been held recently, and are now in progress before your honorable body, that a number of legal dif ficulties are Involved In the sale or distribution of water and power, either to neighboring cities for re distribution by them, or the sale by this city of such water or power directly to consumers outside of the city. REMOVES OTFFICCI/riES Many of those who have ad dressed your honorable body re garding this matter have clearly pointed out that the difficulties surrounding the distribution of the city's power and water would be practically, if not entirely, re moved by the expansion of the city boundaries so as to include the territory over which the water and power would be distributed. This would apparently lead to the con clusion that such territory should be under one governmental con trol, and that such governmental control should bo exercised by what is known as "city and- county gov ernment," modified, or specially framed. If necessary, to meet our local conditions. Every one who has given this matter even superficial attention must realize that the management and disposition of the immense water and power surplus which this city is to have under its con trol in the immediate future, and the policy to be adopted by this city with regard thereto, are of the utmost importance, and upon their correct solution vitally depends the prosperity and well being of this community. The idea seems to gain .strength, as we proceed further with the discussion of how best to deal with our water and power problem, that It naturally and perhaps necessarily leads into the question of what form of gov ernment is best adapted to cope with the situation thus presented. Some of our citizens have pointed out, with much force, that the same authority which owns the water and power, and is charged with the duty of distributing it for the' public good, should also have political or governmental control of the territory in which the water and power are distributed and con sumed. If so, there is apparently, under the systems of municipal government existing in this state, only one form of government ap propriate for the purpose, and that is city and county consolidated government, ' chiefly for the reason that territorial expansion is a nec essary element to b,o taken into account. QUESTION IMPORTANT The question is, however, of grave importance, and should only be decided after most careful and exhaustive investigation, A/id even if city and county government be accepted as the form of govern ment best adapted for our pur pAses and needs, It may be that legislation will be required before it can be carried into operation. The next legislature will meet in January, 1911, and If we are not prepared by that time, or very soon thereafter, while the legisla ture is in session, to take up this matter, so as to be prepared to apply for the necessary legislation, the water and power will be on our hands, in all probability, be fore the following legislature meets in 1913. Certainly nothing can be lost, and it would seem to me a great step in advance will be taken if we proceed now to con sider this matter of city and coun ty government in earnest. It should be examined In all its bearings, and public sentiment be given positive direction, and, if possible, a definite plan adopted, before wo are confronted with ac tual emergencies which can even now be clearly foreseen. I call the attention of your hon orable body to this subject for the purpose of recommending that a commission of our representative citizens be appointed and request ed to Investigate the question of consolidated city and county gov ernment and the form In which it should be cast, in connection with, or as it may be applicable tp the administration of the water and power supplies, and make report thereon, through your honorable body, to the people of this city and its surrounding territory. By this meant I believe a great deal of information can bo placed before the people, so as to enable them to form an Intelligent judgment upon this somewhat difficult problem. I •would suggest that tnis commis sion should consist of not less than nine persons, representing, if pos sible, the various civic bodies of the city and its various enter prises, as well as the legal profes sion. The adoption of any form of government, while It must be guided to a largo extent by the advice of men learned in the law, should alßo have the counsel of those who can apeak for business anil Industrial interests and for the welfare of the workers and people ; ,i large. I most sincerely recom mend tills matter to your careful consideration at this time. Re spectfully, GEORGE ALEXANDER, Mayor. EXPECT GREAT CROWD KANSAS CITY. Oct. IS.—Preparing to accommodate the largest crowd that lias ever attended a football came her«. W. C. Landson, manager of athletics at Kansas university, and V,'. Q. Manly, the Missouri manager, were here yenterday completing arrangements for the Thanksgiving contest between Kansas and Missouri. Besides the fact that Missouri won the game last year, the other reason for expect ing a banner attendance Is that this will be the last game between the two uni versities to bo played here. Hereafter the games will tie held on tho colics* grounds at Lawrence and Columbia, LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 19, 1910. CALIFORNIA NOW TOURISTS' MECCA 1250 Colonists Come to Land of Sunshine Daily Over the Salt Lake Route BREAK PREVIOUS RECORDS End of Cheap Rates on Oct. 15 Marks High Tide of the Westward Rush Colonists have been coming to Cali fornia at the rate of 1250 a day on the Salt Lake railroad alone, according to the traffic report received yester day by T. C. Peck, general passenger agent for that route. This breaks all previous records for daily travel on any one line Into Southern California. It Is believed that even this record will be shattered by the Santa Fe rail road when its reports are In, as It has one more overland train arriving each day than the Clark road. Just what the Southern Pacific's daily arrivals will amount to Is a con jecture at' present, but owing to the fact that that road has seven trains on which tourists are accommodated arriving every day, the figure will be large, according to traffic officials. It is believed that fully 15,000 colo nists and tourists arrived in Southern California during the period men tioned. It being the last days of the annual low rates west. So crowded are the trains that passenger agents and traffic managers on tioth the San ta Fe and Salt Lake lines are in ft quandary as to how to Handle them. The Salt Lake is badly tied up at Salt Lake City, where, It was stated yesterday, the tourists are arriving in crowds over the Denver & Rio Grande and Union Pacific, expecting to con tinue their way to Los Angeles via the Salt Lake. The road has run out of diners to accommodate the trains and every bit of rolling stock at the command of the road in which pas sengers can be hauled is being pressed into service. The Santa Fe is also having troubles of its own, It is reported, the absence of sufficient motive power on the di vision out of Albuquerque hindering the rapid transportation of the colo- nists. It is believed that the greatest rush will come today, when hundreds who left Chicago on October 15, the last day of low rates, are to arrive. It is believed that a new dally record 'will be set with today's arrivals. CELEBRATE OPENING OF LINE TO OWENS RIVER Valley Residents Hold Festivities to Mark Completion of Railroad Branch The completion and opening of the Southern Pacific's new line from Mojave to Lone Pine, in the Owens river valley, was celebrated by citi zens of tho valley yesterday at Lone Pine, tho day being given over to fes tivities in honor of the event. An old fashioned barbecue at noon; speeches by General Superintendent Platt of the Southern Pacific, Assist ant General Passenger Agent T. A. Graham of tho came company, J. B. Lippincott, representing the Los An geles aqueduct, and a number of tho most prominent citizens of the valley; a roping and tying contest between Indians and cowboys; and wild horse riding followed during the afternoon. During the evening a grand ball was given in the town hall, followed by a display of fireworks, which com pleted the day's program. The sentiment expressed by several of the speakers from Los Angeles was to the effect that the success and prosperity of the valley depended largely upon the establishment of friendly relations with this city. Lo cal speakers expressed themselves as realizing this, and maintained that on their part such relations were in ex istence. As an instance of what the road has accomplished in the valley It was stated yesterday that land val ues have doubled during the past year as a result of the approach of means of rail communication with Los An- geles. That the new road will open up to the commerce of Southern California one of the richest agricultural and mineral sections of the state was the statement made yesterday by James It. H. Wagner, a Los Angeles business man who has extensive interests In the valley. Until the line was completed, the valley with Hh abundant water supply and fertile Boil was one of the most isolated sections In the United States. With the now line in operation it is within ten hours of Los Angeles by ral, and this city will be the dis tributing point for the largo crops of applet, corn, potatoes, onions, grapes, berries, pears, garden truck and honey, In the production of which the valley is making great strides. The new road connects the branch running out of Mojave to Olancha with Owenyo and Lone Pine the terminus of the narrow gauge road from Hezen, New Hitherto, by using the narrow gauge, only goods which would stand a long shipment could ho exported from the valley, and for this reason all perishable freight was excluded. With the new line, however, nearly every commodity raised in the valley can be sent to Los Angeles. The regular operation of trains over the new line was commenced yesterday morning. NUN DRIVES MAD DOG TO COVER; CHILDREN ESCAPE CHICAGO, Oct. 18.—A mad bulldog caused a panic among the forty chil dren In a classroom at St. Bridget's parochial school yesterday. The dog ran through the aisles, foam dripping from Its Jaws, and the children has tily climbed on their desks. As the animal came toward Sister Josephine, In charge of the room, she faced him and drove him under her desk, where ho remained yelping and growling until the last child had es caped from the room. When a patrolman arrived the dog was in the worst stages of rabies, dash- Ing about<the room and biting at the seats. The officer drove tho dog Into the yard, where he shot it. FAVORS INCREASE IN FIRE FIGHTERS Mayor Recommends Addition of 2 Lieutenants and 15 Men to Department MONEY IS ALREADY PROVIDED City Executive Points Out Dan gerous Condition in Con gested Districts Two lieutenants and fifteen firemen can be added to the fire department without additional cost, according to figures submitted to the council yes terday by Mayor Alexander. The money to pay the additional men has been "appropriated In the budget and was to have been used to pay the members of engine companies 23 and 24, but there was a long delay in put ting these companies in commission, and a portion of It was not used. The mayor explains this matter In the fol lowing message: » "At the present lime a fire company In the congested district consists of but ten men. Each man is entitled to one day oft eacn week and to four teen days' vacation during each year. Thus during the greater part of each week there are but eight men on duty. Each man is entitled to one hour oft each meal. Dividing eight men Into j three shifts at meal time three times a day means that lor two hours each mealtime, or six hours each day, there can be but five men on duty. This provides a fireman, a stoker, a driver and two hosemen, which is sufficient in the residence districts, where the buildings are not high. With but two hosemen only one line of hose can be handled, and it would be very slow work for two men to carry one line of 1 hose to any height. This is a danger- , ous condition in the congested district. Moreover It would be necessary at times, with so few men, to shut off the water and use the engine crew to help raise ladders or to help man the life nets. APPROPRIATION MADE "Fifteen more men and two more lieutenants can be provided for the congested district without increasing the appropriation already made for the fire department for this fiscal year, in the following way: The amount saved to date In th» salary fund of the lire depart ment by reason of the delay in going Into commission of engine companies Nos. 23 and 24..110,000 Two months' salary for truck crew at engine 16 saved, an th« truck will not be ready for de livery until about March 1.. 1.570 (11,370 Salary of fifteen men at $80 per month for eight months $ 9,800 Salary of two lieutenants at $106 for eight months l.«S0 $11,280 "This will leave an unexpended bal ance in the salary fund of the fire de partment for this fiscal year of $90. "Believing it to be for the best in terests of the city I would strongly recommend that your honorable body provide fifteen more men and two more lieutenants for the lire department." The matter was referred to the sup ply and finance committees. The Theaters If James McCormack, who, with Eleanor Irving, is one of the best fea tures of the new bill at the Los An geles, could not talk so well he surely would be taken for the well-known Billy Gaston, for in manner, method, appearance and cleverness Mr. Mc- Cormack Is a "double" for this well known comedian. McCormack and Irving have one of the brightest of ferings that has been seen at the Los Angeles theater in their laughing, singing and dancing skit, '■Fllrtology." Both have personality, stage presence and a light, airy, natural manner that always delights an audience. Mr. Mc- Cormack wins much applause with his catchy song, "Foolish Questions," while Miss Irving has a big voice and understands how to use it. They are both ntmble dancers. The Free Setters Four is a quartet of splendid voices, who offer an act far away from the beaten trail usually pursued by acts of this character. While their numbers are all rendered with a high degree of excellence, their rather novel manner of presenting them is partly responsible for their hit. They are all masters of harmony, while one of their number is a master of fun. This is the colored chauffeur, who causes a giggle evory time he moves, and who has a method of ex tracting laughs all his own. His sing ing of the "Chinatown Rag" wins him much applause. The act is full of good comedy and well worth seeing. Bookman and Gross, "The Merry Maidens," are sprightly 1 and pretty maidens offering a series of character songs, light, graceful dances, and dis play several changes of natty cos tumes. Mile. Olive, the French jug gling artiste, is a skillful juggler, who works in a rapid manner every minute she is on the stage. A clown assistant supplies considerable humor. Maxwell and Dudley are entertaining and mu sical in Will M. Cressey's song skit, "The Singing Lesson," and 801 l and Richards, the mqjodious novelists, pro duce real music of every variety on a score of odd Instruments. Completing the new bill, which is enjoyable, is a film of amusing motion pictures. MAUS WANTS GREATER GULF BETWEEN OFFICER AND MAN WASHINGTON. Oct. 18.—Brig. Gen. Maus, commanding the department "f the Columbia, In his annual report to the war department, recommends legis lation for the elimination of inefficient officers. He expresses the belief that a general service corps would add greatly to the efficiency of tho army, and in the end actually prove econ omical. Gen. Maus also recommends that as far as practicable greater distinction be made between non-commissioned officers and privates generally through out the service, and that privates be divided Into flr^t and ■econd cIaMM.

LIFE IS TAKEN FOR A SMALL PIECE OF LAND Ak a result of a dispute over the division of a small piece of proporty, John Stacel of 1822 Darwin avenue Vm shot to death in his home last night. Pete Carbonno, who recently camo to Los Angeles from San Fran elsfco, Is a prisoner In the county Jail, charged with murder. It seems that Carbonne and Stacel purchased several acres of land some time ago and have been quarreling about their holdings since that time. Last night Carbonno visited the home of Btaoel and while they .were dliouaaing the matter in the kitchen Stacel, it is alleged, drew a revolver and fired two shots at Oarbonnc. The latter, according to his statement, grappled with Stacel. In the struggle Carbrtnne seized the revolver and was about to wrest It from the grip of SAacel when the weapon was dis charged and the bullot struck the lat ter in the nock, severing: the jugular vHn. Deputy Constable Corneau. who Is employed as a watchman at the Maier Brewing company, heard the shots and raa over and placed Carbonne under arrest. Detectives Cowan and IngTam were detailed on the case after the matter was reported to the police. The dep uty constable refused to turn over the prisoner to them and the detectives withdrew from the case In his favor. The officers were unable to locate the revolver with which the shooting was done. Lady—Did you aay that you are an or phan.
