TEN TONS OF ICE
REQUIRED TO CAR
Citrus Fruit Shippers Show That
Pre-Cooling Saves Much of
Refrigeration Cost
RESULT OF TESTS TABULATED
Five Hundred Defendants in Case
Now Being Heard by Com
missioner Prouty
'. Less than ten tohs of Ice are re
quired for procoollngr and refrigerating
a car of citrus fruit from Southern
. California to the east, according to evi
dence given yesterday before the in
terstate commerce commission, meet
ing in Los Angeles.
That evidence was In line with the
assertions made at the meeting held
hero last spring, when growers said
about nine and one-half tons were re
quired and the representatives of rail
roads declared the requisite amount
was sixteen tons.
That less than ton tons are required
was asserted as the result of actual
tests made on 769 cars by the Santa Fe
railroad. Tests on 112 cars on the Og
den route, partly estimated, 1 showed
! that a little more than twelve tons of
Ice were averaged to the car.
FRE-COO UNO SAVES FRUIT
That precoollng saves a large amount
of fruit shipped to the east was also
stated in the evidence, very little decay
being found in fruit sent in that man
ner, while out of 5201 cars refrigerated
In the ordinary manner, 284 arrived at
their destination with the fruit In a
decayed condition.
This evidence is ■ expected by the
growers to be largely in favor of their
desire to have the refrlgeratldn rate of
$62.50 to Chicago and adjacent points
declared unjust. It also is hoped that
. It will influence the commission to
agree with the growers, who are rep
resented by F. B. Matthews and J. H.
& A. F. Call, that the railroads have
no right to exact icing charges from
them when the fruit has been precooled.
Results of tests, tabulated as agreed
upon by both the growers and the ship
pers, were* presented by Earl Dezelle.
His figures oh the amount of ice re
quired for precooling cars related to
those shipped from San Bernardino,
Pomona., East Highlands, Pasadena
and Los Angeles. He declared that pre
cooling saves a ton or more of ice to
each car.
'" FIVE HUNDRED DEFENDANTS
Defendants In the case in which evi
dence was given yesterday, the hearing
being before Charles A. Prouty, inter
state commerce commissioner, in the
United States court room in the Tajo
building, number more than 500.
To serve all of the defendants with
papers In the case required more than
four months, though such service could
bo accomplished now in a day. This
change results from the work of Jo
■eph H. Call, who prepared an amend
ment to the Interstate commerce law
providing that railways must-have in
Washington an agent upon whom ser
vice may be j made for them. Senator
LaFollette put the amendment through
congress. "
: Extraordinary interest is taken in the
hearing, growers from all over South
ern California and traffic and refriger
ation managers from the railroads be
ing In attendance.

AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS
IMPORTANT TO LOS ANGELES
Great Opportunity for This City, Which Is Rapidly
Becoming Mining Center of Coast Region —Citizens
Urged to Make Big Affair an Unqualified Success
FROM September 26 to October 1 there will
be in session in the city of Los Angeles
what should be made, if properly taken ad
vantage of by our business men and citizens, the
most important convention that ever assembled
in our city. We refer to the American Mining
Congress, whose members to the number of sev
eral thousand, representing all the varied and
important mining interests of the country and
especially of the southwest, will gather here be
tween those dates.
Los Angeles has had many conventions with
in its borders, and probably will have many more.
It has undoubtedly reaped advantages from all
of these meetings, because no man can become
acquainted with Los Angeles, its opportunities
and its environs without being made in a measure
a missionary to advertise it abroad.
Also many who have visited Los Angeles as
delegates to conventions that have met here have,
attracted by its beauties and advantages, later
become citizens and added their means and ef
forts^as a contribution to its great success.
At the same time no body of men have ever
met in the city representing a business or inter
est of any kind so much of which should natural
ly, by geographic location and lines of communi
cation, become subject to and centered in our
city as of the business representedby the Ameri
can Mining Congress.
Much of the larger part of the mining for
precious and semi-precious metals of the United
States is conducted in our southwestern terri
tory. This territory, by existing lines of com
munication, should nearly all be subject to and
its interests center in the city of Los Angeles.
The business interests of any center of the min
ing industry are especially fortunate for the rea
son that that industry represents actual cash in
such large volumes. The products of precious
metal mines are cash, and the products of semi
precious metal mining are readily and constantly
being turned into cash. The results of mining
are not like the results of agriculture which ac
crue once a season. They represent a constant
daily production of wealth which goes into the
TWO HORSES BURNED:
HOMES THREATENED
Bucket Brigade Prevents Neigh
bors' Houses Taking Fire
from Truemen's Barn
When the barn of James Truemen,
who lives a mile southeast of Bur
bank, burned yesterday and two
horses confined in It lost their lives,
only the active work of a bucket
brigade prevented neighboring houses
from catching fire. The loss is esti
mated at $500.
The barn caught fire in some mys
terious manner about 9 o'clock in the
morning, the heat of the day and the
contents of the building being such
that the flames soon gained rapid
headway, and to extinguish them was
Impossible.
Neighbors rushed to the aid of
Truemen, but It soon was found that
the fire was beyond control of such
meager apparatus as they had at their
command, and when the frantic horses
could not be taken from the building
to prevent their burning to death the
people turned their attentions to their
own homes.
Sparks from the barn settled upon
many a roof made extraordinarily dry
by the warmth of the last weeks, and
would have resulted in other fires had
the timely formation of bucket brig
ades not prevented It.

SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1910.
BURGLARS AGAIN FAIL
TO ROB SALOON SAFE
Two Holes Drilled Near Tumblers
on the Door
Another attempt was made Friday
night to open the safe in the saloon of
Waddell & Beyer at Seventh street and
Maple avenue, but as in the previous
attempt, made about three weeks ago,
the thieves failed.
An open transom over the front door
enabled the burglars to enter the build
ing. Two three-eighths-inch holes had
been drilled in the outer door near the
tumblers of the safe, but the men were
evidently scared away before they
could force the door open.
The attempt was discovered yester
day morning and reported to the de
tectives. Three weekß ago a futile at
tempt was made to open the safe, the
thieves In that instance stealing $5
from the cash register and five quarts
of whisky.
GUARDSMEN TO DISCUSS
SITE FOR NEW ARMORY
Will Meet Tonight at Dinner to
Make Final Decision as
to Location
Members of the national guard of
California will meet at 6:30 o'clock to-
light at the Bristol cafe for an in-
formal dinner and to discuss the site
for the new armory to be erected for
the benefit of the members of the state
militia located in Los Angeles.
Members of the guard Intimate that
a site for the building, for which the
legislature appropriated $100,000 at its
last session, practicaly has been de
cided upon, but refuse to make any
suggested location public until after
the discussion tonight.
It is not improbable, however, that a
surprise will be sprung upon some of
the forty or fifty members of the
guardsmen who are expected to partic
ipate ' Iji the dinner and discussion, as
some of the officers are said to be op
posing»the ones who think they havo
practically settled the question of lo
cation and may be enabled to rally a
majority to their support.
Among the officers who will be pres
ent and lead in the discussion are Gen.
Robert Wankowskl, Col. W. O. Schrel
ber and Col. S. M. Saltmarsh.
NORTHWESTERN WOULD USE
PACIFIC'S RIGHT OF WAY
VANCOUVER, B. C, Sept. 9.—Ap
plication was made before the Canadian
board of railroad commissioners today
by the Canadian Northern road for an
order empowering them to occupy the
right of way of the Canadian Pacific
for a distance of seven miles through
and above the Fraser river canyon at
Lytton, B. C. The petition was strong
ly opposed by the Canadian Pacific.
Chairman Mebee appointed a disin
terested engineer to go over the ground
and rep it to the < immlasion on the
compare . tve corns i building the new
line on the Cai ■■■ . right of way and
on indepencil in >r. „t of way on the
opposite side or the dvei
pockets of the mine owners to be invested and
expended.
Any man who has studied the history of San
Francisco knows that that city was made the
financial center of the Pacific coast, and is such
center today, by reason of the great accumulation
of capital which many years ago flowed into it
from the precious metal mines of the west. On
account of habit and tradition, the city of San
Francisco is still the center of the mining busi
ness of the southwest, notwithstanding the fact
that the natural advantages of Los Angeles as a
center for this industry are infinitely greater than
those of San Francisco.
If our business men want to understand what
it would mean to our city to become, to the ex
tent to which our advantages entitle us, the min
ing center of the southwest, they have only to
consider for a moment the amount of money that
now flows into it from Arizona and Nevada.
Practically all of this money which is spent by
visitors to our city in the purchase of goods of
every description for personal use and of mining
supplies and has been here invested in many
costly homes and in large business blocks, comes
from mining.
If the people of Los Angeles succeed in im
pressing the advantages of Los Angeles upon
those who will attend the mining congress short
ly to be convened here, it will mean not merely
a temporary advantage of a few investments by
individuals but a constant inflow of money for
goods, supplies and investment every hour of the
day and every day in the year for as many years
in the future as the mines in this territory last.
The Herald is so profoundly impressed with
the importance of the mining congress that it
proposes to devote some space between now and
the date of its convening to calling the attention
of our people to it and urging them to take every
step necessary to see that it is the greatest possi
ble success. Certainly no gathering that we have
ever had promises so much of permanent benefit
to our city, if properly handled, as does this con
gress that we will shortly be called upon to wel
come and entertain. Let us see to it that our op
portnnities are not wasted.
HEALTHY TREES WILL BE
SUBJECT OF CONFERENCE
Well Known Citrus Growers and
Scientific Men Will Meet
at Pomona
How to cultivate healthy trees will
be the main subject that will come
up before the citrus growers' conven
tion at Pomona next Tuesday.
As entomologists work out the in
sect problem and the growers the
treatment of the varied soils of dif
ferent localities, which seem to be the
two greatest problems and concerning
which, as yet, there seems to be no
set rules, J. W. Jeffrey, state commis
sioner of horticulture, conceived tha
idea of bringing together both sci
entists and practical growers in this
convention to discuss the matter.
Experience of the growers will be
compared and scientific men will glvo
their views, thus co-operatingr, and it
is expected that conclusions will be
reached that will help materially in
the cultivation of healthy trees.
The Pomona board of trade has an
nounced that It Intends to give an
automobile trip through the valley
surrounding Pomona.
The following growers and scientific
men will read papers as Indicated:

CHARGED WITH SWINDLE,
CLAIMS WIFE IS TO BLAME
Sailor Asserts Woman Caused
Him to Desert Navy
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9.—Blaming the
woman he married in San Francisco In
1908 for his downfall, W. C. Mair, alias
"Billy" Mansfield, In Jail here on a
charge of swindling a Los Angeles
woman out of valuable Jewelry, this
afternoon admitted he was a deserter
from the United States navy and stat
ed also that his brother Is the private
secretary of Mayor Fitzgerald of Bos
ton, Mass.
Malr says he came to the Pacific
coast In 1908 as chief electrician on
the battleship Alabama. He says he
met the woman now his wife at a
noted cafe in San Francisco, was mar
ried to her and through her efforts
was transferred to the supply ship
Arethusa. Eight months afterward,
he.says, she induced him to desert from
the navy.
His statement was made to the sher
iff at the county Jail but It Is doubt
ful if he will be claimed by the navy
department until after he. has been
tried In the civil courts. Mrs. Malr is
In Jail and Is blaming her husband for
the entire affair. It Is probable both
will be tried at the same,time.
FINDS DYNAMITE IN
HALL OF RECORDS:
2 Sticks of Explosive Discovered
by Police After a Warning
Telephone Message
ONE SUSPECT UNDER ARREST
Prisoner, Closely Questioned. De
nies He Has Any Knowledge
of Supposed Plot
Two small sticks of dynamite were
discovered in the vicinity of the new
hall of records now under construc
tion on the property adjoining the
county court house early yesterday
morning. Whether the finding of the
explosives frustrated an attempt to
dynamite the structure or revealed a
plan to create public sentiment rela
tive to the strike of iron workers is
one of the features which the investi
gation of yesterday failed to ex
plain. 13. H. Connell, a striking Iron
worker, who was arrested for drunk
enness late Thursday night, but who
was charged with suspicion following
the finding of the dynamite, is still
In the city Jail.
He was closely questioned by Cap
tain of Police Lehhr.hausen and At
torney Earl Rogers yesterday but
stoutly denied having any connection
with the dynamite or any knowledge
of any plan to dynamite the building.
Connell was employed by the Llew
ellyn Iron works before the strike of
several months ago and had worked on
the building two different times.
LOITERING IN ALLEY
Connell was caught loitering in the
alleyway on the south side of the
building by Patrolman Abel shortly
after 12 o'clock Thursday night. When
asked what his business was there at
that late hour of the night, he struck
the officer a blow on the point of the
chin and fled toward Broadway. Abel,
who was only stunned by the blow,
gave chase and succeeded in appre
hending him after he had proceeded a
few feet south in Broadway.
An hour before Connell was arrest
ed Lieut. Sebastian at central police
headquarters received an anonymous
telephone call from a "citizen," who
told him that there was a plan on
foot to dynamite the new hall of re
cords building. Sebastian immediate
ly mustered a squad of patrolmen
and went to the building, but noth
ing could be found.
DYNAMITE FOUND
The dynamite was found a short
time after 6 o'clock yesterday morning
by Patrolman Klerscey as he was
passing through the alleyway on the
south side of the building, from Broad
way to New High street. One of the
sticks was placed near the elevator
shaft and the other was lying about
fifty feet away on the opposite side of
the 15-foot allej»way. Both of the
sticks were equipped with caps and a
20-foot fuse, which would have taken
twenty minutes after it was lighted
before It would explode.
Why a person who had a design to
destroy the building would place the
explosives where it could so easily have
been found and why they would use
only two sticks, which according to
experts would not have been suffi
cient to cause any great damage, are
wo of the features left unexplained
by the police investigation.
A close search of the building was
made yesterday for more dynamite
but none was found.
Captain of Police Charles Lehnhau
sen detailed a squad of extra patrol
men on duty at the building last night
and instructed them to arrest any
person who mlsht attempt to. enter
the structure. Despite the fact that
Lehnhausen does not place any cred
ence in tho information given to Lieut.
Sebastian over the telephone by an
anonymous person, a close watch will
be maintained on the building.
Connell will be held in the city jail
until a further investigation is made.
A. B. Maple, an unemployed iron
worker, was arrested by Patrolman
Browning at 7:16 o'clock last night
and locked up in the city Jail on sus
picion of felony. He is alleged to have
been one of the three men who ran
away from the new hall of records on
North Broadway early yesterday
morning when Patrolman Abel arrest
ed Conner.
Maple was questioned by the officers
and denied any knowledge of the
matter.
A thorough investigation will be
made by the police.

cup, which was won at the recent
saengerfeat in San Francisco by the
song section of the Turnverein Germa

CORONER WILL PROBE
CAR INSPECTOR'S DEATH
As the result of an amputation of
both legs, which were badly crushed In
an accident Wednesday at San Bernar
dino, Charles G. Graham, 40 years old,
died at the Santa Fe hospital in this
city yesterday. His body was removed
to the undertaking parlors of Bresee
Bros, and today will be shipped to San
Bernardino, where his wife lives. An
Inquest will be held Monday.
Graham, who was employed as a car
Inspector by the Santa Fe railroad In
San Bernardino, was underneath a car
