PROSPECTOR SAYS
CITY IS LUCKY
HAS USED OWENS RIVER AND
RECOMMENDS IT
Considers Price at Which Land and
Riparian Rights Were Secured
as Very Cheap — Expects
Railroad
Thomas Plgott of Lone Pine, a
miner and assayer who has been active
in the Owens River valley for several
years, called at the office of the cam
paign committee in the chamber of
commerce Saturday afternoon to con
gratulate the committee and the citi
zens of Los Angeles on the splendid
prospect of bringing the Owens river
water to this city.
Mr. Plgott is engaged In mining in
the White mountain range on the east
side of the valley. He says that the
quality of the water in the Owens
river is excellent, that he and many
friends of his have lived alongside the
river and used water directly from the
river itself for a long time, and that
It is as good as can be found any
where, and to use his own words,
"There are worlds of it."
"I consider the price at which the
city of Los Angeles has procured its
lands and water rights in the valley
extremely reasonable," said Mr. Pigott,
"in fact the prices that the city paid
are very much below what similar
lands can be procured for in the city
today, and this is the general opinion
In the valley.
Mr. Plgott states that the little op
position which existed to the plans of
the city in the valley is very fast melt
ing away, because the residents there
have begun to realize what the city has
claimed from the start, that the com
ing of Log Angeles to Owens river will
make for the prosperity of that section
rather than hurt it.
To take his own case, Mr. Plgott
said, "It is to my interests, for instance,
that the Owens river project be car
ried through, because It will undoubt
edly mean the building of a railroad,
giving close connection with tidewater,
and bringing in of outside capital for
the purpose of developing the rich min
eral territory which surrounds the val
ley and It 3 resources generally."
COMMITS SUICIDE
IN LODGING HOUSE
Man of Whom Nothing Is Known Ex
cept a Supposedly Assumed
Name Drinks Carbolic
Acid and Dies
John Garmuman committed suicide
yesterday morning by taking carbolic
acid in his room at 104 South Los An
geles street. Nothing is known about
the man or his motive for the deed. It
is supposed by the police that the name
used was an assumed one, for no piece
of paper or anything which would lead
to identification could be found on the
body or in the room.
Saturday night abouf 8 o'clock Gar
muman applied for a room at the lodg
ing house at 104 South Los Angeles
street and was told the price of a room
was 50 cents. He said he had only 25
cents and the landlady, Mrs. Bell, gavo
him the room for that price, Yesterday
morning at 11:30 she went to make the
bed could not unlock the door, and
looking through the window saw the
dead man lying on the floor.
Officer Pursell was called and he sent
the body to Bresee Bros. 1 undertaking
parlors, where the inquest will be held
Suicide seems to be In the atmosphere,
for during the last two weeks there has
been an average of one suicide or at
tempted suicide each day. Whether it is
the weather or just a coincidence the
learned doctors at the police station are
not yet prepared to say.
THREE ARE INJURED
BY GARVANZA CAR
Mrs. L. Colby and her daughter, Miss
Annie Colby of 326 Boyd street and
Joseph Colby, a relative of 123 Nortn
San Pedro street, were, slightly injured
In a collision between an inbound Gar
vanza car and a surrey in which they
were riding on North Main street near
the Plaza last night.
Joseph Colby, who was driving tne
horse attached to the surrey, pulled
close to the car track in order to avoid
a lunch cart which was standing outside
of the curb. The street car going in the
same direction struck tne surrey, and
its occupants were thrown out.
Mrs. Colby sustained a wrenched hip
and sprained ankles and was bruised on
the side of the head. Miss Colby was
slightly bruised, and Mr. Colby also
escaped with but minor injuries. Mrs.
Colby was removed to the receiving hos
pital, where Drs. Clark and Steams at
tended her, after which she was sent to
h« r home.
HONOR NAME OF
GREAT LIBERATOR
ITALIANS CELEBRATE GARI-
BALDI DAY
Three Hundred Sit Down to Banquet
and Orators Tell of Great Achieve.
ments of Foremost
Patriot
All hail to Garibaldi!
His memory, ever fresh In the minds
and hearts of all true and patriotic
sons of sunny Italy, was celebrated
yesterday in fitting style and the im
pulsive natures of the Italians respond
ed to the spirit of the occasion and
paid enthusiastic tribute to their most
honored patriot.
In commemoration of the constitution
which Garibaldi and his band wrung
from the oppressors for the people
years and years ago, the Italians of
Los Angeles held a grand banquet at
Garibaldi hall, on Date street, the af
fair being under the auspices of the
Italian relief committee of Los Ange
les. Nearly 300 covers were laid and
the name of the liberator, with the his
tory of his life and achievements, were
the principal themes Indulged In by
the speakers of the occasion.
B. Sassella acted as toastmaster at
the head of the big board, which ex
tended the length of the room on two
sides In a U-shaped line. With Mr.
Sassella at the speakers' table sat F.
Bessolo, acting president of the relief
committee; B. Castrucclo, honorary
president; Mr. Cotte, speaker of the
day, and C. Marchetti.
There was keen regret expresed on
all sides that the Italian cruiser which
was expected to anchor off San Pedro
in time for Garibaldi day had not ar
rived, and its officers could not be pres
ent vi. the banquet. A telegram of
regret was sent from Mexico to Mr.
Castrucclo late Saturday night and the
rading of the message was the cause
of temporary but none the less deep
felt gloom.
Banquet Hall Brilliant
The hall in which the banquet was
spread was brilliant with a glow of
colors and decorations^ Along the walls
masses of ferns, their green beauty
backing beds and festoons of carna
tions, were hung, while in the center
of the room gay streamers hung from
the ceiling. At the entrance a large
American flag was surrounded on all
sides by the flags of Italy, and around
the platform at the other end of the
hall the picture of Garibaldi, in its
brilliant setting of the red, white and
green of Italy's national colors, ruled
supreme. On the tables little Italian
flags and festoons of smllax and ferns
relieved the monotony of the white
i cloth, and lanterns of various hues were
suspended everywhere.
F. Bessolo was the first speaker
called on by Toastmaster Sassella, and
he was followed by B. Castruccio. Then
Mr. Cotte, the principal speaker of the
day, held his audience with an Im
passioned address on Garibaldi and his
work. He recounted at length the glor
ious achievements of Garibaldi In ob
taining the constitution for Italy and
how the people of that land of sun
shine and ease owe their present liberty
to the great hero.
Relief Committee Work
C. Marchetti, the closing speaker on
the list, took occasion to render a few
remarks on the work of the Italian
relief committee, to which the proceeds
of the banquet, which amounted to
about $300, were given. The speaker
recounted the work which was done
during the San Francisco disaster and
also the fact that $2000 had been sent
from here to relieve the sufferers who
fell victims to the Vesuvius disaster.
Mr. Marchetti also spoke of the work
that is being done in Los Angeles at
present and feelingly portrayed the
plight of many poor families among
the Italians before the relief committee
came to the rescue and helped them to
their feet and the good things of com
fortable living.
At the banquet, which lasted from 3
o'clock until after 5, all the good things
known to the Italian palate were in
evidence. There were ravtolas and
spaghetti In abundance, and the gen
erously seasoned viands were washed
down with the choicest of clarets . All
the foods and liquors consumed were
donated for the occasion, and the money
obtained from the sale of tickets was
given In a clear sum to the committee.
In the evening after the banquet the
third grand ball given here by the relief
committee In honor of Garibaldi an.l
the anniversary of the constitution was
held, and 300 couples were in attendance.
The costumes worn by the younger peo
ple, bright with the colors of their
native land, were typical of. Italy, and
the scene was a gay one indeed. Excel
lent music was rendered by the Italian
band under Prof. Berrea, and until after
midnight the dancers paid merry tribute
to the memory of Garibaldi and his
noble deeds.
MEXICAN IS SHOT
ON WAY TO DANCE
Advises Friend Not to Carry Revolver,
and Accidentally Pulls Trigger
While Trying to Unload
the Weapon
John Leon was shot and seriously
wounded on the Hulbard & Wright
ranch, seven miles from San Fernando,
last night. Leon says the shot was
fired by Jose "Velarde. The bullet en
tered the left side of the abdomen and
went to the right side, stopping just
under the skin. The doctors at the
county hospital say the bullet just
missed the abdominal muscles, and the
man will recover.
Leon says the shooting was acci
dental. The. men, who work on the
ranch, were preparing to go to a dance
at Chatsworth Park. Leon noticed that
Velarde \yas carrying a gun and ad
vised him not to take the gun to the
dance. Then he asked to see it, anil
"Velarde answered that It was loaded.
Leon asked him to take the cartridges
out and then give It to him. Velarde
opened the gun quickly, then closed It,
and while holding the weapon close to
his body pulled the trigger. The bullet
struck Leon.
"Velarde had not been arrested up to
a late hour yesterday afternoon, but the
wounded man says that he will ask that
it be done.
Leoo says that the "boys" In some of
their country dances have a lively time
and some carry guns with them when
they go, but ho never did himself and
did not want his friend to carry one.
The sheriff's office has been notified.

HUMORISTS WILL
COMMEMORATE NYE
EXPECT TO BUILD MONUMENT
TO FUNNY MAN
National Organization Will Hold Con.
vention Here During Middle of
September — Contributions
Asked for Work
It is not many years ago since every
American with any claims to a sense of
humor eagerly awaited the next effusion
of the shiny-pated laugh-provoker,
Edgar Wilson Nye, or, to speak in plain
English, BUI Nye. "Baled Hay" wasn't
nearly so dry as Its name seemed to in
dicate; even the "Chestnuts" had a cer
tain piquancy and flavor far from
ancient. And then came those witty,
and withal sensible, "Remarks." The
strange weird caricatures which the
talented humorist drew of himself —
and always the omnipresent cat— were
known from one end of the land to the
other.
The veteran fun maker is now no
more, but his books seem destined to
escape the limbo of forgotten vanities
to which so much pseudo-humorous
work departs. Bill Nye Is dead, but
there are a hundred or more American
press humorists who have decided that
their old pal shall not be forgotten. In
the little village of Laramle, said to be
somewhere In the wilds of Wyoming, a
monument will be erected to the memory
of the man who by his utterances from
that place, both by pen and mouth,
placed it on the map; for In Laramie
Bill Nye passed the best years of his
life. From Laramie came those won
derful decoctions of brain and no-brain
which made the name of Nye famous
wherever the mother-in-law joke had
penetrated.
Asked to Contribute
The boys who are boosting the monu
ment scheme are humorists— hence,
unselfish. About fifty million people in
the United States have each had from
$23 to $300 worth of laughs on Bill Nye.
These people are now urged to eon*
tribute to the monument fund to build
a lasting memorial to the man who by
his droll homely humor helped them
keep healthy and get fat. The mails of
the American Press Humorists head
quarters at 325 West First street are
never so full but that a subscription to
the fund will receive as kindly a recep
tion as a bill for rent.
From all over the country subscrip
tions to the fund are coming. The
grand amen will come during the week
of September 15. At that time the
humorists will meet in convention In
Los Angeles, and the week will be ended
with a monster benefit at the Aud
itorium theater. Frank Thompson Soa
rlght of Loa Angeles, secretary and
treasurer, is co-operating with Robert
J. Burdette to make the program the
biggest thing Los Angeles has ever
seen.
The American Press Humorists' asso
ciation claims everybody with a faculty
for saying printable funny things. Mark
Twain, Bangs, Loomis, Outcault, "Zim."
Flagg, Day, Brown, Chapman, Dudley,
Comfort, Culver, Hulff, McAdams, Mo-
Kinsey, Ormsby, Wells, Harrison, Cllne,
Davis and McDougall are some of the
new additions to the membership roil.
Eli. Perkins is another member of the
select bunch of professional funny men.
The coming convention, which is tlie
fifth annual affair, promises to be th>;
biggest ever. The prospect of complet
ing the fund for the Bill Nye monu
ment seems to be installing additional
vigor into a convention which even nt
normal pressure is never dull. The
visitors will be shown the southern sec
tion of the state in true California style,
and everybody will be in fine fettle to
make good when the big benefit per
formance is held.
Angelenos are particularly interested
in the American Press Humorists bo
cause of the prominent members of that
organization who hail from the Angel
City. The president, Thomas Augustln
Daly, is from Philadelphia, and the vice
president comes from New York, but
the secretary and man who holds the
money, Frank Thompson Searight, Is a
Los Angeles man. Robert J. Burdette,
perpetual parson and pastor emeritus,
hangs M||s silk tile in a Pasadena man
sion. Mr. Burdette began making the
country laugh long before some of the
present members of the association had
ever perpetrated a Weary Willie joke on
an innocent world, and his effusions
have continued to improve with age till
now the little "R. J. Burdette" scrawled
at the bottom of a manuscript is a pass
port into the best and most respectable
laugh making publications of the coun
try. Robert J. Burdette, jr., a "chip off
the old block," while not so widely
known or prominent in the profession as
his hire, has nevertheless perpetrated
sufficient mental exhalations to be
classed as a humorist, and he is also a
member of the association. "R. J., jr.,"
too, lives in Pasadena. Other Los An
geles members are John S. McGroarty,
Harry C. Carr, William Hamilton Cline
and Arthur J. Burdick.
Robert J. Burdetto and Secretary Sea
right are making preparations for the
benefit program. Subscriptions for the
fund will be received up to September 1.
Before the convention a book, 'Tho
American Press Humorists' Tribute to
Bill Nye," will be published and will be
presented to alnJubscrlbers to the fund.
COUNCIL FACES
MONEY DEBATES
FINANCIAL QUESTIONS WORRY
COMMITTEE
Pay of Police Prosecutors and New
Jail Are Live Issues — Landlords
and Smoky Chimneys Slated
for New Laws
Today's session of the city council
will embrace a wide line of discussion,
growing out of prospective reports of
the finance, building, legislation and
other committees.-
As the finance committee majority has
refused to finally consider the demands
of the salaries of the police station pros
ecuting attorneys — Councilmen Drom
gold and Wallace refusing to attach
their signatures — It is up to the council
to act. Last Monday the council agreed
to stand by Its previous decision to Int
District Attorney Fredericks name two
prosecutors agreeable to the city. But
is it understood that even if the com
mittee had approved the salary de
mands they would have been held up by
Auditor Mushet, hence a suit to test the
constitutionality of the new law seems
inevitable. The trouble grows out of
the action of the last legislature In pass
ing the Broughton act for police prose
cutors. This act turned this patronago
over to the district attorney.
Those whose claims are held up aro
E. J. Fleming, $81.31; Harry Alexander,
$70.91; Guy Eddie, $70.96; Joseph Ford,
$70.96; also Stenographer A. H. Russell,
$35.47.
Fighting Smoke and Landlords
The new anti-smoke ordinance may be
presented today through Dr. L. M.
Powers, health officer, who, with a com
mittee and Deputy City Attorney Emm
et Wilson, has worked on the plan for
months. It will allow ninety days'
grace for factory owners to make their
chimneys tractable.
The law will be drawn so that viola
tions begin only when for over five
minutes there has been a dense con
tinuous discharge of smoke. When fir
ing or putting on extra loads of steam
extra discharges of smoke are unavoid
able, but all good firemen should be
able within five minutes to check this
density.
Councilman Bernard Healy will make
another effort to Introduce his measure
imposing an extra tax on landlords who
refuse to take tenants who have chil
dren. As the father of eight children,
Healy has suffered the rebuffs of the
hard-heafted landlords, and says he Is
fighting race suicide. The last ordinance
offered was ruled out as Illegal by the
city attorney.
Want New Jail
The building committee may recom
mend to the council today that steps be
taken at once to erect a new jail and
police headquarters for the city on a
larger site than the present one. The
price which the city will obtain for the
present jail will go far toward buying
a new site and erecting a modern build
ing. Chief Kern and the police commis
sioners are working hard to get the ap
propriation.
Another effort may be made to push
the new electric sign ordinance. Under
this measure signs may swing out any
where at night, provided they are
hinged or fixed In such a way as to
fold back and out of the way when not
lighted. Much opposition hus arisen
against the scheme, which is simply a
variation of the old billboard evil and is
drawn manly to benefit the elecric com
panies, which are now fighting the
Owens river bonds. Metallic signs are
providod for, and they must be lighted
eveiy night continuously except Sun
days. Exceptions are made for news
papers and theaters, which may erect
illun^nated bulletin boards, provided
they do not obstruct passageways.
MACHINIST'S ACTIONS CAUSE
HIS ARREST FOR INSANITY
John Schneider, a machinist in the
employe of the Western Gas Engine
company, was arrested at 851 Buena
Vista street last night and placed In
the detention ward of the receiving
hospital until an inquiry can Le made
into his mental condition.
When arrested Schneider was pro
claiming in a loud voice that he had
robbed a jewelry store of three diamond
rings, which, however, he claimed were
worthless. He also stated that he was
a priest of the church and a detective
in the personal employ of President
Roosevelt.
At the station house he became- vio
lent and had to be restrained with
muffs and hopples.

MOUNTED POLICE
HAVE HARD TIME
MEMBER OF FORCE TELLS HIS
EXPERIENCE
Has Desperate Encounter with Smug.
glers, and Often Brave Com.
panions Are Killed by
Men in Ambush
Twelve years as a member of the
Canadian mounted police, twelve years
passed as a frontier guard, each day
carrying his life in his hands and fight
ing against men whose daring, shrewd
ness and cunning have made their
names famous In all parts of the world.
This is the life led by Randolph H.
Holman. 32 years of age, who Is visit
ing relatives in this city.
"Two weeks ago I left ray uniform
behind and donned citizens' clothing,"
said Holman when seen at the Angelus
hotel yesterday. "It was the first time
I had been out of uniform since the first
day I went into service twelve years
ago.
"I had received a three months' leave
of absence and had arranged to come
to Los Angeles and visit my relatives
who live here. At the close of my va
cation I will again return to my old
command and, I presume, pass the re
mainder of my life In the harness.
Mounted Police No Myth
"Few persons aro familiar with the
work of the mounted police." continued
Mr. Holman, "and to many this body
seems to be a myth. Since my arrival
in the United Sttaes I have been asked
many peculiar questions about our du
ties, most persons apparently believing
that we are the same as a police force
which guards city streets.
"Our work, on the contrary, is more
like the work of the Texas rangers. It
Is our duty to guard against smugglers,
protect the borders of our country and
to guard against the illegal distilling
of liquors.
"During my term of service I have
passed about four years on the bor
ders of Alaska. There is a great deal
of smuggling carried on between Can
ada and that territory, the ones who re
ceive the goods transmitting them to
the United States. Then a great deal
of tobacco and whisky is smuggled
across into Canada, the price of those
articles being very high there.
"We frequently get into combat with
these gangs of smugglers and several
times I have been in rousing good fights
with them. The^ are men who are
hard fighters and shoot to kill. Many
of our boys ocrupy lonely graves in the
frozen north, having served as marks
for the snapshooting smugglers, but
as a usual thing a short distance away
can be found another grave which con
tains the body of the man who brought
our comrade down.
Secret Agents Assist
"It takes many men to cover the bor
der betwen the territory and Canada,
but they are greatly assisted in their
work by the secret service agents, of
which there is one or more in every
city. Thes agents make it their busi
ness to know all about what is going
on and it is seldom a cargo of goods
of the kind smugglers carry is turned
over to any person without our officers
knowing of it.
"The last big fight we had was in a
bleak region about thirty miles from
the Alaskan border. The smugglers
were carrying a large amount of to
bacco to a small town known as Bear's
Head, where they intended to turn it
over to a 'fence.' Word was brought to
us and with a detail of ten men Lieut.
Miller, at that time our commanding
officer, started in pursuit. We had
been camped about twenty miles from
Bear's Head and left that place short
ly after 10 o'clock at night. About
three hours later we spied our men
in the distance and a long, stern chase
began.'
"They saw us about the same time
and knew what we were after. For
several hours we continued the chase
until our horses began to show signs
of fatigue. We knew we rode better
animals than the smugglers, however,
so stuck to the chase. At last we got
within rifle shot and at a command
from the lieutenant began sending bul
lets singing after the fugitives.
Dislodge Smugglers
"The smuggling gang continued on
the run until they at last gained a
small hill behind which they dashed.
We at once drew rein, fearing an am
bush, and began to circle the hill. As
we did so the smugglers' rifles began
to crack and soon several of our boys
lay stretched out in the snow with
blood flowing from bullet wounds.
"This sight angered us, and at last,
despite our decreased numbers, our
lieutenant decided to charge the hill
nd drive the smugglers from their
stronghold.
"We drew back a short distance, ex
amined our guns and then galloped
toward the hill, leaning far over the
side of our horses and using their
bodies for shields.
"As we neard the hill the smugglers
suddenly broke and galloped away, with
our men in close pursuit. The result
was that out of the gang of nine smug
glers five were taken to the jail in
Bear's Head, while the remaining four
were laid in quiet graves alongside the
two members of our squad who had
lost their lives.
"The life of a member of the mounted
police is filled with incidents of this
nature, and any young man who seeks
adventure can get plenty of it by join
ing the force. It is a hard life, one
filled with many privations, but still is
an interesting one, and I know of no
other I would prefer."
AUSTRALIA SHIPS BIG
CARGOES OF APPLES
Special to The Herald
NEW YORK. June 2.— A consignment
of 1000 barrels of apples has arrived on
board tin- steamship Celtic from Liver
pool. The apples were grown in Aus

apples. The western crop has been
used up.
The ;ipples are the best that Austra
lia produres, hand picked and each
apple Is wrapped in tissue paper to pro
tect it during the voyage. From Aus
tralia to London the apples came as

OWENS VALLEY INHABITANTS
HAVE CHANGED THEIR VIEW
Fred L. Baker, member of the water
board, who recently returned from tha
business men's excursion to Nevada,
said:
"I met Capt. Rickey In Goldfleld and
he told me that the people of Owens
valley are now convinced that the build-
Ing of the aqueiuct will be the making
of their country. Capt. Rickey said that
Los Angeles could take three or four
times as much water as la contem
plated out of the Owens valley, and that
there will still be plenty to spare.
"The electric power possibilities of the
Owens river project are already heiripc
demonstrated by Capt. Rickey, for his
company has completed Its power plant
above Bishop and is now transmitting
its current across the mountains to run
the mines of Tonopah and Goldfleld.
Nearly all of the 384 mines in Goldfleld
are now being run from Owens river
power, brought over wires 125 miles."
THIS WELL FURNISHES
TWO KINDS OF WATER
Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, June 2.— A well which
yields fresh and salt water at the s;une
time has been discovered by a member
of the I'nlted Stnets geological survey
in Hamilton county. Virginia, about a
half mile south of New Burlington.
Except for the fact that two pumps ars
set in side by side, it resembles ordi
nary wells, but one of the pumps sup
plies water excellent to taste, while
the water from the other is bo highly
charged with various mineral salts that
it is almost brine. This water has been
recommended by some physicians a 8
having high medicinal value. When
first dug. several years ago, the well
was a great wonder to the people of the
surrounding country, who flocked in
great number to see it and taste Its un
usual water.
