BIG CHANGE IN BANKS;
500 SHARES ARE SOLD
Col. J. B. Lankershim and J. B.
Mitchell Out of Bank of
Southern California
An event of importance In banking
Circles Is the pm-hase of tho J. 13.
LankerKhlm and J. \V. Mitchell's In
terests In the Bank of Southern Cali
fornia by J. M. Neoland, V. H. Haskell
and A. <'. Hupp. Tho interests In
volved comprise something over 500
shares and the price to bo paid for tho
stock Is $112 a nhare. Messrs. I^anker
ehlm and Mitchell sell their interests
and ret no from the bank because their
other business prevents active parttci
pation In the conduct of the institution.
This deal which culminated within
the past few days Is tho result of nego
tiations which have been pending for
four months, when Messrs. Haskell and
Hupp camo to Los Angeles from Il
linois, where they had previously been
engaged in the banking business, both
being bankers of twenty years' ex
perience. Mr. Haskoll assumed the
cHHiilership of the Bank of Southorn
California shortly after his arrival here
In January, and after a careful etudy
of the I.unking situation In Los An
lie, together with Mr. Hupp, de
termined that the opening offered in
Urn Hank of Southern California was
■worthy of the Investment of their funds
and their active energies.
Mr. Haskell will assume the presl
dency and Mr. Hupp's name will be
added to tho directory. He also as
sumes the duties of cashier, vice Mr.
Haskell.
Mr. Neeland, who has been the
bank's president, will remain as an
active director, but In resigning the
office of president will find time to de
vote to his extensive railway and land
Interests.
The Hank of Southern California, ac
cording to Its last printed statement,
has increased Its business 113 per cont
In a little over one year's time—since
Mr. Neeland became interested In It in
January of last year—and with its
splendid location In the heart of the
new business center of tho city con
tinued growth Is predicted for It.
The officers of the bank and Its
directors will be: F. H. Haskell, presi
dent; M. N. Newmark, vice president;
Henry A. Colt, secretary; A. C. Hupp,
cashier; J. T. Bunn, assistant cashiar
and assistant secretary; J. M. Neeland,
"W. B. Hlndry, Frank A. Cattern, Lu
cien Gray and H. J. Dike.
Col. Lankershlm, when seen by a re
porter with reference to the sale of hla
Interest in the bank and his retirement
as an officer, said: "Yes, Mr. Mitchell
and myself have arranged to dispose
of our remaining Interest not previously
sold to Mr. Neeland and his associates
In the Bank of Southern California. My
business and the law business of Mr.
Mitchell takes all of our timo and pro
vents us from actively participating In
the business of the bank, and we have
therefore arranged to sell our stock
to Messrs. Neeland, Haskell and Hupp.
Messrs. Haskell and Hupp have re
cently come to Los Angeles, and I be
lieve they are very active, enorgotic
and competent bankers and that they
will build up a sound and conservative
Institution at Seventh and Broadway.
We pioneered it there for a long time,
but now the locality is particularly
good, and there doubtless will be a
large Increase In the business of the
bank, which I hope will be tho case,,
and we shall continue to do business
with them and hope our friends will."

LOS ANGELES HERALD
COUNCIL URGES VOTERS OF CITY TO
SUPPORT POWER AND HARBOR BONDS
President Lusk, in Behalf of Colleagues, Issues Strong Statement
Showing Necessity of Ratifying Projects—Harbor Commission
Asks the Backing of All Improvement Associations—Veiled
Attacks of Private Interests Are Answered by Speaker
THE campaign for the success of
the harbor and power plant bonds |
is actively begun, and yesterday,
the second day of the real campaign,
saw a great amount of work accom
plished in the way of circulating Ultu-u
--ture and appeals.
Robert M. Lusk, president of the Los
Angeles city council, yesterday Joined
in the campaign and Issued a hearty
appeal, In behalf of all the members
of the Los Angeles council, for voters
to support the two bond issues election
day, April 19.
Mr. Lusk's appeal Is as follows:
"To tho voters of Los Angeles:
"It occurs to me that no fair-minded
citizen of Los Angeles can consistent
ly oppose the voting of $3,000,000 of
bonds for harbor improvements at
Wilmington and San Pedro. The prom
ises on the part of the people of Los
Angeles that that sum would be vot
ed and expended at those places, was
the consideration 'which Induced the
people of Wilmington and San Pedro to
surrender their municipal government
with all their harbor rights and privi
leges and become a part of the greater
city.
"Would It be right, would It be Just
to those people, Titter relying and act
ing upon our promise to them, to neg
lect or refuse to keep good faith with
them? It would be equivalent to the
repudiation of an honest debt. The
people of Los Angeles are too hon
orable, in my Judgment, to accept the
great advantages which Wilmington
and San Pedro have, In good faith,
surrendered to them, and then neglact,
fall or refuse faithfully to carry out
the agreement on the part of this city.
"Every consideration of duty and
honor, to say nothing of selfish Inter
est, necessitates the voting of the
bonds as this Is the only way In which
Los Angeles can fulfill its solemn
agreement. Aside from the question of
duty and honor, and viewing it alone
from the standpoint of self-Interest,
there Is nothing that would so much
conduce to the growth, development
and prosperity of Los Angeles, as the
establishment of her harbor.
"May I be permitted, as an humble
servant of the people, to urge every
true, loyal, patriotc citizen of Los An
geles to attend thn polls on the 19th
lnst. and vote for these bonds.
URGES VOW JIM BONDS
"As to the $3,500,000 power bonds to
be voted for at the same time I would
say that they are of equal Importance
to the city. It is estimated that 120,000
electrical horse power can be developed
by a suitable power plant. It Is beyond
the Imagination of the most fertile
brain to grasp the wonderful possibili
ties to Los Angeles of such an electri
cal force. The city would be able to
furnish power for the various manufac
turing: enterprises that would probably
be established here by reason thereof,
and thus provide lucrative employ
ment for thousands of skilled and other
workmen. Aside from the aqueduct it
self there are no two enterprises to
compare, in importance, with the estab
lishment of the power plant and the
harbor.
"With the successful completion of
these three great enterprises It Is a
question of short time only when Los
Angeles will be the metropolis, not only
of California but of the Pacific slope.
The bosom of every loyal citizen 'of Los
Angeles should swell with pride when
he contemplates the growth, develop
ment, prosperity and beauty of this
city, upon the completion, within the
next tw» or three years, of these three
great lnterprises; but It will require
the voting of the bonds' in order to
establish the harbor and power plant.
Los Angeles will then have an abun
dance of water, the best lighting sys
tem, one of the largest power plants
In the world and one of the finest har
bors, and will then become a paradise.
Indeed. ' . ••.
"Let us all vote for the bonds on the
19th lnst. ROBERT M. LUSK,
| "President of the City Council."
ASKS ORGANIZATION'S HXLF
In addition to 'this appeal the Los
Angeles harbor commission sent a cir
cular letter to all of the twenty-four
Improvement associations in Los .An
geles, which are urged to aid In the
two great projects now pending before
the voters of Los Angeles.
This letter |to the Improvement as
sociations reads in part:
"The commercial: supremacy of Los
Angeles hangs in the balance and the
vote on April 19 will determine wheth
er or not she shall equip herself so
as to realize all of her natural advan
tages.- Her commercial interests have
been built by an arbitrary rate fixed
by the transcontinental railroads which
has made her a terminal point and a
distributing center for freight. This
advantage is gradually being taken
away until she is nearly placed upon
the same level as interior cities. There
fore she must improve the harbor so
as .to enable commercial Interests to
take advantage of - cheap transporta
tion over nature's highway, and there
must be assembled at her harbor in
one harmonious whole the steamship,
the railroad, the factory and the ware
"Beileving that you will boost as
you can boost, and that we will roll
up a magnificent majority for the
bonds I am for the future welfare
and upbuilding of Los Angeles, very
truly yours, A. P. FLEMING,
"Secretary L. A. Harbor Commission."
Mr Fleming also issued a statement
to the public answering the criticisms
which recently were raised by certain
private opponents of the bond Issues.
These opponents, some of them mem
bers of the Federated Improvement
association, at a meeting in the cham
ber of commerce Thursday night, ad
mitted their error after a lengthy dis
cussion of the issues involved and
voted unanimously to support the bond
IS The ' question they previously raised,
however, related to the plan of the
proposed expenditure of the money to
6The explanation issued, by Secretary
Fleming, along the lines set forth by
City" Attorney Leslie R. Hewitt, Is as
follows:
KXFIiAINS TUB BONDS
"The understanding of the manner
and place of expending the $3,000,000
for harbor improvements Is as fol
"Two million dollars will be used for
the * improvement of . the 146 1 acres In
the ' outer harbor and . other parts
SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 9, 1910.
| thereof as they become available with ]
j the necessary wharves, docks and j
warehouses, and the construction of;
suitable approaches thereto, connect
ing the same with the present busl
n<.»«s center of ths city.
"And the $1,000,000 will bo used for
the Improvement of the thirty-seven
acres reclaimed by the city of Wil
mington by constructing docks,
wharves and warehouses and the im
.provement of certain streets leading
thereto, so that the inner and outer
harbor may be furnished un outlet,
connecting with the now business cen
ter of the city.
"There is no Intention now, or never
has been, even a suggestion that that
portion of the channel connecting the
outer and Inner harbors now occupied
and part of It owned and uncontested
by private corporations, Is to be im- I
proved In any manner for th#ir use,
and benefit by the city, excepting, of
course, the establishment of the prom- j
ised public ferry and fish market, as
recommended in the report of the ■con
solidation committee."
HOW city WILL ritonT
Discussing the harbor project yester
day Mr. Fleming stated that if there
are any who doubt the statement that
the city will quickly get back the
amount of its expenditure from reve
nues after the completion of the harbor
they have only to look into the history
of various harbors.
There has never been a harbor con
structed, said Mr. Fleming, that lias
not paid for itself. Nearly every har
bor in the world furnishes an example
why Los Angeles should construct such
a harbor as tho city now is contemplat
ing, as such harbors have always re
sulted In a degree of development far
in excess of previous records.
"Tho Los Angeles harbor must not be
considered a purely local improvement,"
said Mr. Fleming yesterday. "We have
been astounded at the Interest with
which the work Is received In, other
communities. — ■ " »
• "The Arizona, New Mexico and Ne
vada newspapers are full of news per
taining to the Los Angeles harbor, and
with possibly one exception all of
Southern California has shown a vital
interest In the great project we have
undertaken.
"As an example of the way Southern
California cities, which once were sup
posed to be our rivals, are taking to
the harbor development here, let me
show you an article In the Ventura
Democrat."
Mr. Fleming then pointed to the fol
lowing article from a recent Issue of
the newspaper mentioned:
"That the appropriation of $390,000 for
the further development of Ban Pedro
harbor will be made by congress this
year has a more Important bearing on
the future of Ventura county than Is
apparent to the casual observer. In
making this appropriation the status of
the harbor is determined and by prece
dent it becomes one of the harbors of
the United States, for the maintenance
and Determent of which annual appro
priations will be made as a matter of
course. Heretofore appropriations for
the harbor have been hand to mouth,
and it has been at times difficult to se
cure money-necessary to carry on the
work. Four hundred thousand dollars
will also be appropriated for the con
struction of a dredger to keep the har
bor clear..
CIM3ES POWER BONDS
"The effect of having a great harbor
so near at hand will be a great reduc
tion of freight rates on all of those
things that Ventura county has to sell.
With the completion of the Panama ca
nal, within the next few years, San
Pedro will become a port of call for
vessels from all ports in the world, and
particularly for coast to coast lines that
will compete with the transcontinental
railroads. Competition will be sharp,
and it is confidently expected that
freight rates to the east will be reduced
more than one-half. All of this saving
will come to the grower, for under the
present system of business it is he who
pays the freight.
"Everywhere there Is a great port
there are light draught boats that
gather the freight from nearby local
ities and assemble it, as cargoes, for
deep sea ships, in warehouses at the
harbor. The charge for this trans
portation Is very low, sometimes less
than 2 cents per hundred weight. There
Is no doubt as to the -fact that such
lines of boats will be operated from
San Pedro and when they are the
freight question for Ventura county
will be solved.
WILL LOWER FREIGHT KATES
"Many tons of beans are now shipped
from Ventura by water, but they go to
San Francisco and are there trans
ferred to steamers that take them
to Tehuantepec, where they are
shipped across the isthmus by rail,
and again loaded on ships that take
them to their destination. All of this
handling costs money, yet it is cheap
er than the transcontinental rail rates.
It will cost very much less when the
coastwise boats pick up the beans In
Ventura and transfer them to a ves
sel at San Pedro that will take them,
without more handling, to the eastern
seaboard or Europe.
"What applies to beans applies al
so to oranges, lemons, hay, cattle, min
erals and all other products of the
county, whether for export or con
sumption in Southern California. Fast
steamers can make the run from San
Pedro to eastern coast cities In ten
days or less, and deliver citrus fruits
there In better condition than is pos
sible by rail. When these begin to
sail from San Pedro most of the fruit
that now goes east by rail from Ven
tura county will be shipped by water
and the freight from near localities
will be gathered by coastwise boats,
as it Is done by the river boats for
San Francisco."
IMPROVISED APPARATUS
SAVES TOWN FROM FIRE
COLTON, Utah, April B.—The effici
ency of two locomotive engines and
an improvised fire apparatus probably
saved this town from, destruction to
day when fire enveloped an entire
block In the business section.
Three saloons, a general store and a
hotel were burned. A number of lodg
ers were driven to the streets by the
flamas. As the buildings were all
