Northern City Declared Logi

A California-Panama exposition at
San Diego and an International expo
sition at San Francisco Is the declared
sentiment of the organized bodies of
Los Angeles, expressed In resolutions
at Joint meetings of boards of directors
of the chamber of commerce. Mer
chants and Manufacturers' association
and the Los Angeles realty board.
The action was taken yesterday, and
is the final answer to a proposition
submitted to l^os Angeles by San Die
go, which city hus been working fur a
federal appropriation with a viuw to
making Its show an international ex
position.
Mar Meyberg. vice chairman of the
recent meeting of representatives from
the various civic bodies of California
held at Santa liurbara, visited San
Diego .Suturday and Sunday to confer
with the exposition boosters. He sub
mitted the action of the Santa Harbara
meeting, which favored San Francisco
us the I'ansima exposition city, without
objection to the plans for the San Die
gu exposition.
Mr. Mryberg, who has been Identified
with many public movements of state
and national character, speaks In
hlKhest terms of praise of the fighting
capacity of the Nan Diego exposition
promoters. For thirty-six hours he
was In closest touch with more than
twenty members of the fair committee,
and he came away much Impressed
with the admirable generalship dis
played by D. <_'. Collier and his effi
cient lieutenants.
Civic Associations Meet
Following is the answer of the I.os
Angeles organizations to the San DltffO
proposition Intrusted to Mr. Meyberg:
The following resolution was
unanimously passed at n joint
meeting of the boards of directors
of the Merchants and Manufactur
ers' association, the chamber of
commerce and the Los Angeles
realty board on Monday morning,
March 28:
"The, Los Angeles Merchants and
Manufacturers' association, the
chamber of commerce and the Los
Angeles realty board, in Joint con
vention assembled, express full
appreciation of the enterprise of
the people of San Diego, also of the
best interests of the state of Cali
fornia, and recommends that if the
compromise suggested by the Santa
Barbara conference be refused that
then Ban Diego and San Francisco
shall agree to the following propo
sition:
"That San Diego shall accept and
San Francisco will concede to San
Diego CO per cent of the total state
appropriation. San Diego's propor
tion, however, not in any event to
exceed $1,000,000, and provided that
San Diego shall raise from other
sources the sum of »2,000,000 before
the state appropriation shall be
come available.
"That San Diego shall surrender
all claims to federal appropriation.
"That San Francisco and San
Diego shall each be bound to adver
tise and uphold the exhibition at
San Francisco and. San Diego.
"That if San Diego and San
Francisco accept these recommen
dations these commercial bodies
pledge their hearty support.
"That this meeting recommends
to the boards, of directors of the
bodies represented here the adop
tion and approval of these resolu
tions."
At a meeting of the boards of di
rectors of the various organizations
held today the above resolution
was approved by Perry W. Weld
ner, acting secretary Merchants
and Manufacturers' association;
Frank Wiggins, secretary chamber
of commerce, and Herbert Burdett,
secretary Los Angeles realty board.
Chamber Takes Action
The chamber of commerce further
expressed Its attitude as follows:
In adopting the foregoing resolu
tion, be It further resolved, That
the board of directors of the Loa
Angeles chamber of commerce is
led to this action by the belief that
appnujßtitions from the national
govedHftnt In favor of the two
cities In one state, whether direct
or otherwise, would be denied And
might prevent any appropriation
for an International exposition in
California.
Aesolved, That In our opinion
San Francisco is the logical place
for an International exposition by
reason of the large population of
which it is the center and the ex
tensive capital at its command ,
necessary to make it a complete
success. But in this connection we
desire to express again our hearty
approval of the efforts of San Diego
to hold a Panama-California expo
sition, and congratulate the citi
zens of that city on the magnificent
demonstration of their pluck, en
ergy and civic pride, and pledge to
them, subject to the terms of the
compromise herewith suggested,
our unstinted support and co-oper
ation.
I hereby certify that the above
Is a true and correct copy of the
resolutions adopted by the board of
directors of the Los Angeles cham
ber of commerce at a special meet
ing held March 28, 1910.

the horse at their meeting last night,
when at the request of Principal Jacob
R. Marks of the Gardena high school
they discussed the purchase of a
"Rpray wagon" for the sprinkling of
gum trees that had not been planted.
Only the prompt, curt question of
President Joseph Scott at the head of
tlic head of the table as to whether
there were trees to sprinkle brought
the information that they were not
yet In evidence, but that the janitor of
the Rchool building was the proud
possessor of half an acre of potatoes
nearby that needed 'he services of the
"spray wagon" until he planted trees.
The meeting of the board was brief.

JUDGE WORKS FAVORED IN
ALL SECTIONS OF STATE
Success of Good Government Move
ment in Los Angeles Will Be
Factor In Campaign
Information received at the Lincoln-
Roosevelt headquarters show thnt the
nomination of Judge John D. Works
for United States senator is looked
on with favor in all parts of the state.
His affiliation with the good govern
ment movement in Los Angeles, Its
ultimate success, that has made this
city a shining example of municipal
purity, means the substantial back
ing of the decent elements of Cali
fornia. It is the general impression
that Senator Flint Is out of the running
and that he will not be a candidate to
succeed himself at Washington In the
next election.
Clippings from the majority of the
northern papers, both Democratic and
Republican, show that Judge Works is
looked on as the right man, and that
party politics will not -jure in the
voto getting of the coming campaign.
"Judge Works is popular in San Diego,
whero he once lived," said a prominent
Lincoln-Roosevelt man yesterday. "He
will poll a strong vote all through
Southern California, and will receive
sufficient support in the northern part
of the state. His identification with
the good government movement in Los
Angeles has proved him to be tried
and true. The past will speak for his
future."
JOHNSON'S CANDIDACY
PLEASING TO FARMER
State Controller Nye Declare* Lin.
coin-Roosevelt Standard Bearer
Popular in All Localities
"I am forcibly Impressed with the
strength of HirrTn Johnson, candidate
for governor on the Lincoln-Roosevelt
Republican ticket, among the rural
classes in California," said A. B. Nye,
state controller of currency, who is in
Los Angeles advancing his candidacy
to succeed himself, when seen at the
Hollenbeck hotel yesterday.
"The farmers in the San Joaquln val
ley are heartily in favor of Mr. John
son, and it seems to me that the farm
era can usually be depended on to pick
the right man. I do not mean that
Mr. Johnson is only popular in the
country districts, for that is not true.
He has a large following in the cities
of the north, and, although I have
been he.j but* a short time, he seems
to have many friends in Los Angeles,
but a candidate may make a strong
showing in the cities and still lose be
cause he is unpopular in the country.
What the city likes does not always
suit the farmer, but Mr. Johnson 18
seemingly popular with both."

Ralph De Palma's 190-horse power j
Fiat "Mephiatophelcs 1' will be shipped
from New York by express tomorrow,
and will come to Lob Angels on the i
limited trains, arriving at least three
days before the opening of the motor
drome meet, April 8. News that the !
repairs had been completed and that ,
the big car will be shipped tomorrow
was received by De Palma yesterday In
a telegram from the Flat agency In
New York.
The information settles the question
of a match for the "speed king cham
pionship" between De Palma and Old-
Said, as Barney's 200-horse power Bens
will arrive ; .morrow or Thursday and
Oldfleld him.self wi' be here tomorrow j
night. De Palma does not say that I
hi will beat Oldfleld, as he la not given
to boasting, but he asserts that he
will race for all there Is in him and
with every ounce of power that may
be utilized to make speed.
He demonstrated Saturday after
noon while making the motordrome
ctrcu't at a rate of 75 miles an hour
that a high-powered car may lose a
tire without causing it to skid. Ac- |
companlcd by C. L. Stevens he was
driving his ,60-horsu power stock Fiat
when the left tire blew off. The inner
tube hit Stevens a welt on the ear as
it new up, but did not Injure him. The
surprising fact to De Palma was that
the car did not skid or deviate from
Its cour 3.
His stock Flat and famous "Cyclone"
and Al Livingstone's Corbin are In
regular quarters on the motordrome
Held, and Caleb Bran's 90-horse power
car and others will follow this week.
The "Cyclone" was taken down on a
motor tr.-.ck late yesterday afternoon,
and De Palma will give it a trial this
afternoon. He Is anxious to get it |
on the motordrome, as he declares It
has not had an opportunity hereto
fore for a letting out to the limit of
power.
Motordror- officials expect to see
Caleb Brail** sensational mile of 40
2-5 seconds go tumbling when the "Cy
clone" hits the planks.
"If Bragg can make a pace like that
on his first time on the track he will
keep his car belo-.. the 40 second mark
throughout the meet," said F. E. Mos
kovlcs, yesterday. "I feel now It Is
conservative to make the statement
that Los Angeles has the fastest and
safest track in the world."
Despite the t\.o Inches of rain that
fell at Playa Del Roy, the plank track
was perfectly dry and perfectly fit
for racing. The grounds outside where
no gravel I.ad been distributed were
so muddy that automobiles were stuck
In getting to the entrance. The water
from the ground near the subway
overflow.! Into the passageway and
temporarily blocked access to the field.
The fast cars will be on the track
this afternoon and daily hereafter If
rain does not prevent up to the opening
of the meet. :.

The finance committee will recom

eral census to assist in the work of
census taking in the Los Angeles dis-
The federal government failed to ap
propriate sufficient money to pay the
number of enumerators required to do
the work in the short space of time
allotted, and the chamber of com
merce recommended that the council
and the board of supervisors pay a por
tion of the expense, as the census for
this district is exclusively confined to
Los Angeles county.
