MAYOR NEFF RAPS
GOVERNOR FOLK
KANSAS CITY'S EXECUTIVE
TALKS POLITICS
Say* Missouri Reformer Plays to Gal
leries—Says Hearst Wants Only
Name of High Office In
New York
Kansas City's mayor, .?. H. Neff,
who with a party of councllmen Is
inspecting the Decarle garbage Incin
erator and other public utilities In
Los Angeles, was persuaded yesterday
for a few minutes to talk of things
political.
"Joe Folk, governor of Missouri,"
eald Mayor Neff, "plays to the gal-
leries. My estimation of him Is low.
The people outside of Missouri do not
//'know Folk. The only places In the
state where Folk Insists on reform are
Kansas City, St. Louis and fit. Joseph.
He knows that they have no "lid" any
other place In the state and he knows
they pay no attention to his reform
laws."
In regard to the recent elections
Mr. Neff said. . -
"The election In New Tork had no
more foul play this time than It al
ways has. No one ever knew an elec
tion In New York in which there was
no crooked work. This time, however,
the party which was defeated knows
as much about how the game was
■worked as the Tammany followers.
\ \ McClellan Better Than Hearst
v "I believe MeClellan will make a
better mayor than Hearst. His work
during the last administration has been
very satisfactory. Hearst only wanted
the name; he did not want the Job. ■
"Jerome's victory I regard as the
greatest possible triumph I have ever
seen. He Is a man who deserved what
he received.
"In San Francisco the result sur
prised me. I expected to see Schmltz
receive an overwhelming defeat. San
Francisco must be a wide open city.
I do not think it Is a place where I
would want to live and own prop
erty.
"The elections throughout the coun
try Indicate that the people are well
satisfied with the present national ad
ministration, and hence they have
time to contemplate reforms that they
would not think of at other . times.
There is no great national problem
before them.
"Every election has been similar to
that of Governor Folk of Missouri.
The candidates who are elected, how
ever, I believe are more deserving:
than Is Folk. •*i*s|
"Missouri is not after reform the
way people think It Is."
When asked what he thought of Los
Angeles the mayor said: "It Is a bet
ter place than Kansas City. I will
live here for some time when I can
get out of business and politics. I
, like California and I think It is the
best city In the state." / . .' •
He also said that fhe-Decarle gar
bage Inclnderator came up to the ex
pectations of the committee and that
Kansas City would probably dupli
cate it.
The party spent yesterday in look-
Ing over the Incinerator plant and
In sightseeing. Last evening they
were guests of Mayor McAleer at din
ner at the Lankershim hotel. In the
party are Mayor Neff, Alderman
Joseph Weston. M. Wuerz, C. E. Zinn,
S. C. Woodson, E. W» Davis and B.
S. Cromwell. ,

SUPER FALLS INTO CANYON
Prospective Actor Tumbles Through
Stage Settings and Sustains
Broken Foot
While Oliver Morosco and Harry D.
Cottrell, Joint authors of the play "The
Judge and the Jury," were superin
tending a dress rehearsal of the mob
yesterday afternoon at the Burbank
theater, Raymond Kleffer, one of the
eupernumerles. In his zealous efforts to
act, slipped through the heavy bridge
that Is supposed to cross a deep chasm
In the Grand canyon of the Colorado
and alighted on the stage, sustaining
a broken right foot.
The huge mob of almost two hundred
people Is supposed to cross this bridge
In their first entrance, and It was while
ever one hundred of them were upon
the bridge that a portion of it gave
way. Five men and three women fell
with Kleffer but their fall was broken
by the framework.
Dr. Ralph Hagan dressed the Injured
foot and Raymond Kleffer will witness
the production from the front of the
house Sunday afternon Instead of par
ticipating in it.

COUNCIL STUDIES EOUTE OP
GREAT OWENS EIVER CONDUIT
Junketing Party Travels Across Desert in Wagon
Train, Living Close to Nature— Ex- Mayor
Eaton Pilots Los Angeles Official s
W. C. Lewis
Bpeelft.l Correspondence to The Herald.
COYOTE HOLES. Nov. B.— Drawn
by horses so Jaded they could scarcely
set one foot In front of the other, thir
teen members of the councllmanlc
Junketing party reached this place
about 9 o'clock this evening. With the
exception of a few short stops, where
ex-Mayor Fred Enton pointed out some
of the features that would enter Into
the construction of the conduit to bring;
the Owens river water Into Los An
geles, and half an hour for lunch at
Parrel springs, about 4 o'clock this af
ternoon, neither men nor horses had a
minute's respite from the tedious jour
ney since 8:30 o'clock In the morning,
when the party left Mojave.
Five wagons compose the caravan,
which Is needed to convey the mem
bers of the party and the supplies. The
commissary wagon headed the proces
sion, carrying beds, bedding and pro
visions which the small stations along
the route are unable to supply In suf
ficient quantities. This wagon was fol
lowed by one containing the feed for
the horses, guarded by Councllmen
Pord, Healy and Kern. A third wngon
bore ex-Mayor Fred Eaton, pilot of the
party, with Consulting Engineer Frank
Olmsted, who made profiles and' maps
of the proposed conduit. Councllmen
Hlller and Houghton and Minute Clerk
Charles Wilde, with the driver, made
up the party In the fourth vehicle,
and a double team, with a three-seated
buggy conveyed representatives of four
Los Angeles newspapers, chaperoned
by father of the council, O. A. Smith,
from the Fifth.
The day could not have been more
perfect for the journey If It had been
mode to order. A hard rain the night
before had settled the sands of the
Mojave desert roads and In several
places they were almost as hard as
dirt roads. ■.
The members of the party had spent
most of the night before In telling
stories and discussing their plans In a
spirit of good fellowship and It was
very late before most of them sought
their downy- couches In the railroad
hotel. As they were called out of bed
In the cold gray dawn to prepare for
the trip only a few of the members of
the party looked as if they had enough
sleep. But the rich, wlne-llke air of
the high altitudes of the desert put
new life Into them and It was a Jolly
crowd that started on the forty-five
mile drive to Coyote Holes.
Location of Siphon
About sixteen miles from Mojave
Pilot Eaton called a halt and pointed
out Pine canyon In the Tehachapi
mountains, where it will be necessary
to build an Inverted syphon of 325 feet
pressure. The Tehachapi mountains
will be used to build the conduit, which
will be given a fall of about one foot to
the mile In this valley. The conduit
will deliver 45,000 inches or ten to eleven
feet. The fall Is - light but the amount
of water Is great.
At Jawbone canyon, five miles from
Pine canyon, . another halt was called
and . the place In . the ,- canyon pointed
out where a very large Inverted syphon
with 4000 feet ■ pressure will be built.
Surveyors for the city were at work at
this point today.
The Tehachapi mountains form a na
tural contour for the conduit and it will
be built over, this range around Mo
jave, and between Soledad peak and
the main range of the Sierra Nevadas,
WILL CELEBRATE
SILVER JUBILEE
PLAN TO HONOR FOUNDER OF
SOCIETY
Rev. Mother Francis Xavier Cabrini,
Founder of Missionary Sisters,
to Observe Twenty.Flfth
Anniversary of Order
For the first time In the history of
Los Angeles the silver jubilee of the
founder and superior of a religious
order will be observed with special ser
vices next Tuesday. It is looked for
ward to by the religious communities
with special Interest. Rev. Mother
Frances Xavler Cabrlni, superior gen
eral and founder of the Missionary Sis
ters of the Sacred Heart, who Is In Los
Angeles froni the mother house In
Rome, will observe the twenty-flfth a.n
nlversary of her entrance into the sis
terhood and of the foundation of the
order which she first started near
Milan, Italy. Rt. Rev. Mgr. Hartnett,
V. 0., will celebrate solemn mass at the
new home recently purchased by the
sisters, "Edgemont," on Sunset boule
vard and will also bless the building;
at 8:30 a. m. Tuesday. The monsignor
will also preach at the benediction ser
vice at 4 o'clock In the afternoon.
This order has spread to all parts of
the world during; Its twenty-flve years"
existence, until there are now forty
five houses, of which twenty are In the
United States. The mother general was
sent here sixteen years ago by Pope
Leo XIII to especially care for the
Italian immigrants. They have a hos
pital In New York city, where 26.000
patients are cared for annually. The
primary object of the order Is teaching,
but all branches are taken up where
good may be done. There are academies
conducted by the order In Italy, France,
Spain, England, South America and
Braill. There are also a number of
orphan aeylums.
Sisters Ara Delighted
In Rome the order conducts the pon
tifical school, which Is supported by the
pontiff.
In 1887 Leo XIII showed his apprecia
tion of the order, and the work of the
superior general in presenting the
mother house with $125,000, which has
been used by the superior general In
the erection of the Church of the Holy
SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER it, 1905.
Ex.Mayor Fred Eaton
tunneling for about four miles through
the Soledad ridge, the conduit ending
in Paeolma canyon. In the northeast
corner of San Fernando valley. For
more than sixty miles this work will
be as easy as the simple laying of the
conduits will permit, but from Pine
canyon north, for twenty miles, En
gineer Olmstead believes that the work
shows engineering difficulties.
The work through Red Rock canyon
Is not so difficult as It was feared, for
examination today showed that the
rock might be plowed.
The work through Red Rock canyon
will In no way Interfere with the na
tural beauties of the canyon. When
the members of the council beheld the
wonders of this canyon today they
unanimously agreed that It would be
sacrilege to spoil even the least of Its
natural wonders.
Most of the members of the council
beheld this grand work of nature for
the first time today and were speech
less with admiration.
Red Rock Canyon
, Red Rock canyon is about two miles
long, close to what is known as Twen
ty-seven mile station. It gets Its name
from the great quantities of red sand
stone of which It Is chiefly formed.
Nature has wrought 'most wonderfully
with this sandstone formation, and
formed castles and palaces whose In
tricate designs and beauty of archi
tecture are the despair of the greatest
builders of the world. Tall colonnades,
massive pillars, carved : balconies are
but a few of these great wonders.
Close Inspection does not undeceive the
observer, for they appear as natural
at a few feet as at a distance. The
members of the party were agreed that
the Royal gorge of the Rocky mount
ains was not a circumstance to the
Red Rock canyon of the Mojave des
ert.
Redeemer, Rome, -which will be dedi
cated on her return there, for which
place she will leave shortly.
It was expected that Mother Cabrlnl
would be In Rome for her jubilee, but
was detained here arranging for the
new orphan asylum and Industrial
school for girls which will be estab
lished at "Edgemont." The local sisters
of the order are delighted that the
jubilee will be observed here.
It is the plan of the order to estab
lish a home for orphan girls, where
they will be taught all trades fitted for
women, and will be kept until good
positions are found for them. It Is the
rule of the order to ascertain the child's
talents and to train It along those
lines. The sisters, of whom there are
sixteen In Los Angeles, have already
commenced the building of a parochial
school on Alpine street, where they will
establish a day nursery to care for the
little ones whose mothers are obliged
to work during the day. The present
buildings at "Edgemont" will be util
ized for the home at present and later
others will be erected. The buildings
are surrounded by spacious grounds,
where the children may find recreation
under the guidance of the sisters.
