HANDLING OF FREIGHT
Santa Fe Officials at Los Angeles
Meeting to Discuss Means for
Reducing Expenses
Officials at the head of the operating
and claim sections of the freight de
partment of the Santa Fe railroad will
hold a meeting in Los Angeles, March
8, to discuss ways and means for re
ducing the expenses of these two
branches of the company. It is esti
mated that fully sixty officials will at
tend the meeting.
The Santa Fe pays out $2,000,000 an
nually for damage to freight while in

just what changes should be made in
present methods that the meeting was
called.
Officials from all branches of the
Santa Fe will attend, coming from as

CITIZENS URGED
TO LABOR FOR
CIVIC PURITY
WORK DONE BY GOOD GOVERN
MENT FUND EXPLAINED
MORE EXTENSIVE FIELD HAS
BEEN MAPPED OUT
Belief Entertained That There Are
Men Enough Interested in Hon.
est Conduct of Public Affairs
to Pay Cost
Practiral patriotism In the year end-
Ing yesterday, as demonstrated by the
directors and other officials of the good
government fund in LjOS Angeles, and
the subscribers thereto, cost the sup
porters of clean and good government
J23.323.49. This expenditure or disburse
ment of the fund subscribed by scores
of patriotic citizens of Los Angeles was
contained in a report made yesterday
by P. M. Johnson, treasurer of the
Good Government Fund organization,
to the directors.
That the existence of the organization
justified itself and fulfilled the expec
tations of its founders was the essence
of a report filed by the officials. The
report was addressed to the subscrib
ers to the fund, and with it was a rec
ommendation that $50,000 would be re
quired to maintain the movement the
ensuing year.
A suggestion that a campaign be
Instituted to obtain subscriptions to In
crease the fund to that amount was
made by the officials, and it will be sub
mitted to those who believe in practical
patriotism of the kind that supported
the Harper recall, the legslative bureau
—known as tha "people's lobby"—the
Municipal league, the advisory commit
tee of the Los Angeles highway com
mission, and to the Good Government
organization for the campaign for the
re-election of Mayor Alexander.
Report of Directors
The good government fund was or
ganized February 23, 1909, by ten men
who agreed to pay $1000 a year to the
fund. It now has 159 subscribers, whose
pledges total $24,639 a year. The pledges
for the year amounted to $26,58.). From
this $1770 was deducted because of the
withdrawal of pledges, leaving a work
ng balance of $24,827.46, which included
interest on deposits.
Secretary Lissner's disbursement re"
port showed that $400 was given to the
Direct Legislation league, to assist it
in maintaining the people's lobby; $9925
to the Municipal league, $11,169.42 to
the Good Government organization,
$372.90 to sundries, $581.62 for secret
service, printing, stationery, typewrit
ing and other incidentals. The cash on
hand is $218.97.
At the annual election held after the
reports were adopted, the incumbents
were retained with the exception of J.
O. Koepfli and Gilbert S. Wright. Mr.
Koeptli is about to undertake a tour
around the world, and Mr. Wright's
private business requires his entire at
tention. A. J. Wallace and Frank J.
Hart were chosen in their stead. The
officers of the organization are: Chair
man, S. C Graham; vice chairman, C.
J. Kubach; treasurer, P. M. Johnson;
secretary, AI. Lissner; board of direct
ors includes these officials and Stod
dard Jess, William Lacy, A. J. Wallace,
Frank J. Hart and Dr. John R. Haynes.
Following is the report in part of the
directors:
Experience has shown that the
financial support of one political
campaign in the city of Los Angeles
alone, conducted with strict econ
omy, entails at the present time an
expenditure of about $20,000, and
while the good government fund
contributes liberally to political ac
tivities that are worthy of support,
it is also Its function to support
movements for the improvement of
governmental administration; for
the investigation, exposure and
prosecution of graft and misgov
ernment, and for tho betterment of
civic conditions generally.
It has therefore become apparent
to the trustees of the fund that to
properly maintain such worthy and
practical movements for civic ad
vance in Los Angeles county as are
entitled to financial support will re
quire a fund of approximately
double the present total subscrip
tion, or, in round numbers, about
$50,000 per annum.
To this end it is recommended
that the trustees elected for the
ensuing year endeavor to raise the
present subscriptions by an appeal
to the general public instead of de
pending principally upon the sub
scriptions of those of largo means.
There are probably several thousand
persons in Los Angeles county who
sufficiently appreciate such an insti
tution as the good government
fund to subscribe a moderate
amount monthly, and It is suggested
that a campaign for such subscrip
tions be instituted, and the mini
mum amount to be solicited be fixed
at $1 a month or $10 a year In ad
vance.
Disbursements Explained
From a perusal of tho report of
tho treasurer it will be observed
that the principal purposes for
which contributions were made were
the following:
To the legislative bureau, known
as the "people's lobby," maintained
by the Direct Legislation league at
Sacramento during the last session
of the legislature, $400.
To the Municipal league for the
purpose of financing the recall cam
paign against Mayor Harper and
the election of Mayor Alexander,
19825.
To the advisory committee of tho
Los Angeles highway commission
for the employment of engineers,
etc., in its supervision of the ex
penditures of the good roads bond
money, $874.55.
To the Good Government organ
ization for the campaign for the re
election of Mayor Alexander and
the election of the present Incum
bents of municipal office, $11,169.42.
In addition to the above, by virtue
of the authority vested in him by
the plan of organization, the chair
man has authorized the payment of
a number of contributions in
amounts not exceding $100 and ag
gregating $372.90 to a number of
city officials and others for private
investigations within their depart
ments, and similar work for which
public fumis were not available, or
for other purposes which, in tha
opinion of the chairman were de
serving.
Work Without Salary
It will be observed that the ex
penses of the fund, including print
ing, stationery, stamps, collections
and solicitations, have been kept at
an exceedingly low figure. To have
received and distributed about $25,
--000 at a total expense of only $581.62
Is worthy of note. No official of the
fund has received any compensation
whatever for his work, nor have
there been any expenditures for
such Items as office rent, telephones
or the like.
Undoubtedly within the next
twelve months there will be great
demands made upon the fund for
purposes fully as worthy of support
as those assisted during the past
year; and as our city and county
grow in population, more money
will be needed to properly conduct
the work which will naturally apply
to the fund for support.
Tour trustees therefore fequest
each subscriber to the fund to en
deavor to secure others to become
such, and bespeak the kindly offices
of the friendly press of Los Ange
les in the efforts of the good gov
ernment fund to remove the finan
cial burden which has heretofore
been the great stumbling block in
movements for civic, endeavor.
YUMA LINE STILL
STANDING "PAT"
HOME SEEKERS WRITE TO
PROTECT INTERESTS
INTERESTING INSTRUCTIONS EX.
PECTED FROM WASHINGTON
Those Who Have Inspected Land
Say They Will File Contests
Should Any Other Per.
son File Application
The fate and staying qualities of the
"line" of 159 Yuma land homescekers,
who are lodged in an old store room
at 318 West Second street, may be de
termined this morning when Register
Frank Buren of the Los Angeles branch
of tho United States land office opens
his mail. In the first delivery of the
postman Register Buren hopes to re
ceive instructions from Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger how to conduct the
parceling of the Yuma land allotment.
Whether these Instructions will con
tain any modifications of the ruling
that the line which formed in front of
the Chamber of Commerce building
February 17, will not be permitted to
be served with the forty acre land par
cels as "first comers," is not known
to Buren. He is Inclined to the opin
ion that the secretary of the interior
has not. changed his ruling, and that
the 159 men and women who came from
many states to stake their lot In life
on a forty acre ranch will have to
take chances with several hundred oth
er landseekers.
The secretary's Instructions were
scheduled to arrive yesterday, and
Register Buren prepared to follow them
without delay, and rent a hall or a
park to accommodate the persons who
desire to file applications. When the
eastern mails were delivered and the
instructions were not In the mail car
rier's hands, the land register informed
the Inquirers from the 'line" that the
morning mail today should contain the
desired Information.
In the interim, the men and women
who have made their 159 fortunes a
unit, are banded in an agreement to
stand "pat" and fight for what they
believe are their rights. Those who
have Inspected the Yuma land and
selected their parcels declare they have
not dropped their intention to file con
tests should any other person file an
application which conflicts with the
parcel he or she has Inspected.
These will appeal to Secretary Bal
llnger, and if he does not sustain their
contentions the contest will be taken
Into the federal courts.
Here, as In all communities, there are
"troublemakers." When the would-be
colonists aro not discussing their trou
bles with Secretary Ballingcr, they or
rather about 154 of them, are engaged
in conjecture as to the identity of five
of their number. One of these men
has informed several of the land seek
ers that ho Is holding a place in line
for another. He declined to give the
name of the man he Is acting for. This
man and four others are associates in
the temporary home of the homeseek
ers, but they hade not, Is was said,
contributed to the common fund or
ganized to pay the rent and provide
light and heat.
"We do not know tho identity of
these men," said a member of the pub
licity committee. "They may be here
In tho Interest of real estate specula
tors, and four of them may be bona
fide homeseekers, but I doubt It. One
of the five admits he Is a proxy, but he
refuses to name the person of corpora
tion he represents. Neither he nor
his four companions has contributed
toward the common fund.
"Of course we do not plan trouble
for them here as we havfe burdens of
our own to bear, but 'pikers' are not
welcome in any community. We think
we know what kind of neighbors these
people will be, and if we are fortunate
in obtaining the land we seek we will
know how to protect ourselves and our
neighborhood Interests."
The only deserters from the nightly
vigils the homeseekers have maintained
In the old store room since the police
removed the "line" from the street,
have been the women, but they are not
deserters in the sense that means dis
grace. They were advised by their
men relatives and associates to seek
comfortable quarters until the question
of the Yuma allotment was decided.
Tuesday night each of them sought
more comfortable places to rest, and
last night the men again had the store
room to themselves.
A wag in the crowd has furnißhod
amusement for his companions by past-
Ing on a window a page from a news
paper supplement. The page pictures a
stream of persons, men, women and
children in all walks of life and from
all lines of business, who are obeying
the injunction, "Back to the farm."
Each person in the picture has been
given the name of a member of the
"liner's" official family.
CASE DISMISSED
The ease against A. J. Blum, ne
rused of forging 1 the name of William
Pulisevich to a check on the San Ber
nardino National bank for $14.32, was

COMMERCE BODY
PREPARING FOR
A BUSY SEASON
NEWLY ELECTED DIRECTORS:
HOLD FIRST MEETING
GREAT VOLUME OF BUSINESS IS I
TRANSACTED
Excursion Into Arizona Arranged for
Further Annexation Matters Con.
sidered and Annual Com.
mittees Appointed
The newly elected board of directors
of the Los Angeles chamber of com
merce held their first meeting yester
day, but transacted a volume of busi
ness which did not indicate it was a
first experience.
Among the most important matters
was the appointment of the annual
committees, the election of nine new
members and the decision to conduct
an excursion to Arizona about March
15.
The directors also were presented
with the question of indorsing the pro
posed annexation of North and West
Highland Park, Hermon, Rose Hill,
Belvedere and a large section of the
Arroyo Seco, and to extend the city
limits to place Alhambra and South
Pasadena contiguous to Los Angeles,
so that they may later be annexed if
desirable. This project was referred,
and will be reported at the next
meeting.
The decision to conduct an excursion
into Arizona next month is of much
importance to Los Angeles. It is
urged as particularly commendable, in
view of the increasing trade relations
between Arizona and Southern Cali
fornia. The business men of Los An
geles, according to statistics, are re
ceiving a large share of the wholesale
business of the entire territory, but far
greater patronage is yet to be had,
and nothing can do so much to pro
mote the interests of Los Angeles in
her relations with Phoenix, Tucson,
Bisbee and other territorial cities as
a wide-awake, hustling excursion into
their midst.
The directors decided that the ex
cursion must be of the magnitude for
which all Los Angele* chamber of
commerce excursions are famous, and
stops will be made at Tucson, Globe,
Bowie, Benson, Bisbee, Douglas, Phoe
nix, Prescott, Ashfork, Williams,
Grand Canyon, Kingman and Needles
en route.
Secretary Frank Wiggins was In
structed to plan the excursion, and
with his usual hustle the genial secre
tary at once set to work to prepare an
Impressive invasion.
The chamber favored the petition of
the citizens of Parker, Ariz., and the
valley of the Colorado river in Yuma
county for the immediate throwing
open to actual settlers of a portion or
all of the Colorado river Indian reser
vation without waiting for the re
clamation or irrigation project, with
the privilege of each settler developing
his own irrigation system.
The chamber also favored the pas
sage of the Weeks forest reserve bill
In the house of representatives.
The following firms and individuals
wero admitted to membership in the
chamber: George H. Dunlop, J. W.
Wickerson, Lucien Cray, Becker &
Blakeslee, Alaska Fur company,
Charles G. Willis, Sanitary Flushing
Tank company, Raymond D. Frisbie
and Charles O. Morgan.

BELIEVES JAPANESE
HAVE GREAT FUTURE
Missionary Julius Soper D^cusses
Their Work at Home and
Efforts in Foreign
Lands
"With all the weakness and de
fects of the Japanese, If within the
next fifty years they become as hon
est as they are polite, ethical as they
are esthetic and as virtuous as they
are chivalrous, they will not be sur
passed by any nation in the world.
Yet nothing but the ethical teachings
of Christ will make the Japanese or
any other nation a great people."
These were expressions made by Dr.
Julius Soper, missionary to Japan, on
"The Modern Awakening of Japan"
yesterday at the luncheon of the Fed
eration club.
Dr. Soper said in part:
"The Japanese generally hold a kind
ly feeling toward the Americans. In
appreciation of what the Americans
did for them they raised a large
amount of money for a monument on
the spot where Commodore Perry land
ed and made the treaty between Japan
and the United States.
"The Japanese generally have no de
sire to fight. But they did, and justly,
too, resent the San Francisco affair,
but considered that it was not the
general sentiment of the people. In
the Russian conflict the success of the
Japanese was largely due to their ed
ucational system, which had been
raised to a great spirit of loyalty.
"The Japanese have been sharply
criticised regarding* their honesty and
business ability. They stand equal to
other nations in their honest endeav
ors and are improving all the time.
The better class go into business in
stead, as formerly, the lower class.
"The report I found in circulation in
America that the C'ltnese handled tho
money in the Japanese banks is not
true. The Japanese handle their own
banking funds. It is the Americans
and Europeans who employ the Chi
nese in their banks."
