He re ceived the message on his return to his residence, and answered it at once. In his address to the women, having been flatteringly Introduced by Bishop J. C. Hartzell, Judge Taft gave an en thusiastic commendation of foreign mission work. His experience in the Far East, he said, had taught him the' value of this work in uplifting those paople, and he commented upon the ele vating effect of Christianity and espe cially upon the heathen women. In the Philippines, Judge Taft as serted, the present degree of success in civilization and government was made possible through the Influence of Chris tianity.

IPS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1908. SAYS ELDRIDGE WAS BENEFITED BUILDING OF HIGHWAY MAY BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHFARE PROFITABLE TO y SUPERVISOR. ALLEGED Philo J. Beveridge* of Hollywood Throws Some Sidelights While Testifying in Suit Against "Solid Three" (Continued from Pace One) under conditions named in their ad vertisement for bids; the other to pre vent the carrying out of the contract to W. P. Jeffries company for the fur nishing of the bonds, was concluded yesterday. Arguments will begin at - o'clock today. . « Two more members of the board of supervisors were on the stand yester day. These were Chairman Patterson and Peter J. Wilson, who, with S. T. Eldrldge, constitute what is Known as the "solid three." -. Their statements went further to show that a lack of business acumen was exhibited in the transactions sur rounding the private sale of September 8. Both testified that J. R. Martin had asked them to compare his offer of August 31 with any proposition that other banks might put forward. Wil son said he made no investigation whatever as to the merits of the Mar tin offer. Patterson said he spoke to Banker Washburn, who said he be lieved it was a good Idea to have a million or more on hand; that 2 per cent could be relied upon, and that bet ter bids on contracts could be secured when plenty of money was forthcom ing. . :.!'•» The chairman did not say whether or not he told Mr. Washburn of the pre mium offered by Martin. "I also saw a man from the east," said the chairman. "I have forgotten his name. He told me that owing to the fact that the county Is practically free from debt we should get par. I told him we should get more, and he said It would be a good sale If we did." Investigation Balked Philo J. Beveridge was one of the first witnesses yesterday. He is a member of the good roads advisory committee and was one of those ap pointed by that body to investigate the private sale, and if possible bring about a withdrawal of the bid. While he and his colleagues were asked to make an Investigation into anything that sa vored of fraud, Mr. Beveridge said this inquiry was not made, as he was asked by the purchasers to say nothing in this respect, as it might Injure them. "We told them our only object was to investigate, not to injure any local Institutions," he said, and showed the report made to the . full committee, which contained the statement that the sub-commitee did not believe any fraud had been committed. "Is it your opinion that the sale was 111-advised?" questioned Attorney Me serve. "I don't think so now. I think there was a deal of some kind," remarked the witness, positively. He gave facts to bear him out In this conclusion, one of these being the action of the supervis ors In refusing to consult with the ad visory board after the withdrawal of the private sale and when they had passed a resolution to submit further proposals to that body. Prior to the withdrawal of the pri vate sale, he said, a conference with the solid three was held at Levy's cafe. "1 urged them to withdraw for their own sakes," he said. 8n , "Public Be D " "Public Be D " "Wilson expressed himself as not car ing for public opinion, and used some words which I dp not care to state. Practically he said the public could be d—d." i Chairman Patterson, he said, told him no idea could be had of the num ber of men seeking employment. "He told me the supervisors had spent $15, --000 county money oh one piece of road in Laurel canyon, leading from Park er's house to Bungalow Land, in order to give men work. "Dp you know where Mr. Eldrldge lives?" asked former Judge Works. "I asked Eldrldge one day on a street car where he lived and he told me In Bungalow Land," replied the witness. Regarding the advertisement for bids Kir. Beveridge said he regarded if as a discrimination against eastern buy ers as the certified check of .50,000 must be issued by a Los Angeles coun ty bank. "If that feature was written in the resolution by Deputy District Attorney Shaw without consulting anyone else but to the county, would you believe there was fraud in the written the by Deputy District Attorney hout consulting anyone else c county, would you believe . fraud in the transaction?" asked Attorney Meserve. "I, do not think Mr. Shaw would commit fraud," repled the witness. Wilson Testifies Supervisor Wilson, while on the stand, said he knew nothing about the meeting of August 24, but was asked by J. R. Martin to attend the Augu-st 31 • meeting. He related the Incidents which took place at that meeting and the one on Labor day. Wilson said had not place at that meeting one on Labor day. Wilson said had not discussed the offer made by Martin with anybody and made no Inquiry as to its merits. When he left the meeting on Labor day he said he did not understand that Martin's proposition was to be placed before the board the next day and that he would agree to it. * * Supervisor Patterson also testified ln regard to the throe secret meetings, but said he had made inquiries about Ipervisor Patterson also testified in rd to the threo secret meetings, said he had made, inquiries about tho private sale of the bonds and that two persons told him It was a good Idea. He also left the "little side room" on Labor day with no understanding that the Martin proposition would be accepted. Deputy District Attorney Shaw, how ever, told the court that when he left the side room It was his understanding that tho bid then ' made was to be placed In shape by him and would be voted upon favorably the following day. The deputy said he had made some general inquiries regarding the bond sale, but received no definite replies to his Inquiries. Eugene Germain; one of the plain tiffs ln the suit torestraln the super visors from proceeding further with the sale under present conditions, was a witness during the afternoon.. He said he had been requested to place his name on the complaint as plaintiff by J. A. Graves, vice president of the Farmers and Merchants bank, In which he himself Is a. stockholder. B himself is a stockholder. Suspected Conspiracy "I based my belief that there was a conspiracy on what I saw In the news papers and what I heard on the streets, In restaurants and everywhere," said the witness. '"'«_, Attorney Meserve evinced a strong desire to discover who had employed Judge Works, and the latter was quick to satisfy his curiosity. "I was regu larly employed .by the advisory com mittee,", Mr. Works. "A commit ttee," said Mr. Works. "A commlt tee 'of i that body called on me, paid me' a retaining fee and furnished me with I funds to carry on the matter. I told the committee that I must have reputable citizens as plaintiffs, and this! Is the reason,; I presume, , that Mr. Germain and others appear as plain- , tiffs In the complaint." ;; Attorney Oscar. Lawler will begin his statement at 2 o'clock today. Mr. Works wil confine his argument to a discussion of actual fraud, while At torney WUlard E. Lyons, who repre sents William Lindsay and John Mush rush in the suit to restrain tlie carry ing out of the Jeffries contract, will base his argument on constructive fraud. : y WATCH 'ADS' OF HOME PRODUCTS SUNDAY HERALD WILL GIVE COMPETITION ENTRIES- Successful Effort Will' Be Displayed on a Banner In the Industrial Parade and Posted at Headquarters Next Sunday morning will bo "Home Products Advertisement Day" ln the columns of the Los Angeles Herald and Its readers will be treated to a great exposition of the art of advertising home industries ln the competition for the prize offered by the chamber of commerce for the best announcement.

T., Nov. 6.—ln connec tion with the choice of a successor to United States Senator Thomas C. Piatt, whose term will expire March 4, two names not hitherto much discussed In this regard came to the front today and were received with much Interest- That of Secretary of State Root was most discussed for the reason that he was mentioned in a dispatch from Washington today as having the sup port of President Roosevelt.

Attention is strongly invited in the annual report of Rear Admiral Pillsbury, chief of the navigation bureau, to the lack of a de fended naval base, ln either the Ameri can insular possessions in the east or the Caribbean sea. So important Is this question believed to be that in Admiral Plllsbury's opin ion, all appropriations for new improve ments at naval stations, or for defense of naval bases in Pearl harbor and at Guantanamo, for these bases are vital to our success in war. There is a renewal of the previous recommendation that the grade of vice admiral be revived. It is proposed that five officers of this rank be authorized. Adlmral Pillsbury thinks it due the services and the country that the com manders ln charge of our Atlantic and Pacific fleets should have at least this rank. Prospects are now that under the present system there will be an excess of graduates from the naval academy, and the recommendation Is made that the period of nomination of midship men be extended from four to six years with a view to reducing by one-third the number promoted'to ensigns.
