RETROSPECTION
1910-1913
At one o'clock in the morning of October 1st, 1910, occurred the most
heinous crime in the history of Los Angeles. This was the dynamiting,
by the evil element of union labor, of the building and plant of the
Los Angeles _Times_, resulting in the sudden extinction of no less
than twenty human lives and the destruction of the property of the
corporation. The tragedy, lamented in obsequies of the most impressive
kind ever witnessed in this city, was followed by the construction, on
the same site and at the earliest moment, of the present home of the
_Times_. The trial of some of those deemed responsible for this
disaster brought to the fore John D. Fredericks, District Attorney[50]
in 1900, 1902, 1906 and 1910.
Not the least of the many and far-reaching losses entailed through the
ruin of this printery was a _History of the Medical Profession of
Southern California_ by Dr. George H. Kress, with an introduction by
Dr. Walter Lindley--a work of extended research almost ready for
publication. After all such material as could be saved from the ruins
had been assembled, an abridged edition of the volume once planned was
issued.
In strong contrast to this annihilation of man by his brother, were
the peaceful exercises marking the afternoon of the previous Sunday,
June 19th, when the Kaspare Cohn Hospital, on Stephenson Avenue, was
dedicated; a worthy charity made possible through the munificence,
several years before, of the pioneer after whom the hospital is named.
As Superintendent of City Schools here for four years beginning in
1906, C. E. Moore laid the foundation for that national reputation
which, in July, 1910, led to his being called as a professor to Yale
University.
Jacob A. Riis, the famous Danish-American sociologist, who was so
instrumental in cleaning up New York's tenement districts, visited Los
Angeles for the fourth time, on March 10th, 1911, lecturing at the
Temple Auditorium on "The Battle with the Slum."
The City Council having created a Harbor Board, Mayor George
Alexander, in October, 1909, appointed Stoddard Jess, Thomas E. Gibbon
and M. H. Newmark as Commissioners. In March, 1911, at a popular
election, the Board was made a charter body, and Mayor Alexander
reappointed the gentlemen named. Owing, however, to the numerous
difficulties thrown in the way of the Commissioners in the
accomplishment of their work, M. H. Newmark resigned in December, 1911
and Stoddard Jess in January, 1912; while Thomas E. Gibbon, for many
years one of the most formidable advocates of a free harbor, met with
such continued obstacles that he was compelled, in the summer of 1912,
to withdraw.
Having left Los Angeles, as I have said, in 1879, Myer J. Newmark made
San Francisco his home until December, 1894, at which time he returned
here and became associated with Kaspare Cohn. In December, 1905, he
once more took up his abode in San Francisco where, on May 10th, 1911,
he died at the age of seventy-two years.
The first issue of the Los Angeles _Tribune_, a wide-awake sheet
projected by Edwin T. Earl, owner of the _Express_, appeared on July
4th, flying the banner of the Progressive party, but making its
strongest appeal for support as the first one-cent morning newspaper
on the Coast, and a readable journal advocating the moral uplift of
the community. Like all the other newspapers of this period, the
_Tribune_ was illustrated with photo-engravings.
In 1911, William R. Hearst, of national newspaper fame, bought the Los
Angeles _Daily Herald_, making it at the same time an evening
newspaper and placing it under the management of Guy B. Barham. The
latter had come to Southern California with his father, Richard M.
Barham, who located in 1873 at Anaheim, conducting there the old
Planters' Hotel. After school was out, Guy did chores. Graduating, he
worked for Hippolyte Cahen, the Anaheim merchant; then he kept books
for Eugene Meyer & Company, and in time became Deputy Internal Revenue
Collector. For some years he has been a Custom House broker, in which
activity, in addition to his newspaper work, he is still successfully
engaged.
The Federal Telegraph Company, which had established itself in Los
Angeles in the fall of 1910, inaugurated in July, 1911 a wireless
service with San Francisco and other Coast cities; and just a year
later it effected communication with Honolulu, although oddly enough
at first, owing to atmospheric conditions, it was necessary to flash
all messages across the waste of waters during the night. For some
years, the giant steel masts erected by the Company in the
southwestern part of the city have puzzled the passer-by.
At half-past three o'clock on November 28th, I turned the first
spadeful of earth in the breaking of ground for the Jewish Orphans'
Home of Southern California. This privilege was accorded me because,
in response to the oft-expressed wish of my wife to assist those
dependent children bereft of their natural protectors, I had helped,
in a measure, shortly after her demise, to assure the success of the
proposed asylum.
Sixteen years after Colonel Griffith J. Griffith agreeably surprised
Los Angeles in the presentation of Griffith Park, his munificent
bounty again manifested itself in another Christmas donation, that of
one hundred thousand dollars for the construction of an observatory on
Mount Hollywood, the highest point in Griffith Park. Incidental to the
making of this gift, due official recognition of the Colonel's
large-heartedness was displayed at a public meeting in the City Hall,
in which I had the honor of participating.
M. A. Newmark & Company in February, 1912 removed to their present
quarters on Wholesale Street--a building (it may some day be
interesting to note) five stories high with a floor space of one
hundred and thirty thousand square feet.
In common with the rest of the civilized world, Los Angeles, on April
15th, was electrified with the news of the collision between an
iceberg and the great ocean steamer _Titanic_ which so speedily
foundered with her 1535 helpless souls. For a day or two, it was hoped
that no one with Los Angeles connections would be numbered among the
lost; but fate had decreed that my nephew, Edgar J. Meyer, a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Meyer, should perish. He was one of those who
heroically hastened to the aid of the women and children; nor did he
rest until he saw his wife and child placed in one of the lifeboats.
They were saved, but he went down, with other gallant men, among whom
I may mention Walter M. Clark, son of J. Ross Clark, of this city.
Nor can I refrain, while mentioning this awful catastrophe, from
alluding to another example of courage and conjugal devotion[51] than
which, perhaps, neither song nor story portrays one more sublime. As
the huge liner was sinking into the dark abyss, one frail woman
declined to become the beneficiary of that desperate command, "_Women
and children first!_" The wife of Isadore Straus, unafraid though face
to face with Death and Eternity, still clung to her loyal husband,
refusing, even in that terrible moment, to leave him. She chose rather
to die by his side; and as the black sea roared out its chill welcome,
it received one who, in the manner of her going, left a precious
heritage for all mankind.

Through a high school friendship of my son Marco I came to know quite
well one who, though physically handicapped, acquired much
international fame. I refer to Homer Lea, a native of Denver, who came
to Los Angeles in 1890, at the age of fourteen, studied at the High
School, Occidental College and at Stanford, and then conceived the
monumental idea of freeing the Chinese from the despotism of the old
Manchurian dynasty. Making his first trip to China in 1900, he took an
active part in a revolutionary campaign; and returning to America a
Lieutenant-General and a force in the Chinese Republican party, he
devoted himself to drilling Chinese troops, and to literary work, some
of his writings, notably _The Valor of Ignorance_, when widely
translated, bringing him repute as a military strategist. Having
married Mrs. Ethel Powers, General Lea, late in 1911, joined Dr. Sun
Yat Sen, the Chinese leader, and proceeded with him from London to
Shanghai, only to arrive there after the revolution had actually
started. Even then success was not to crown his labors; during the
convention called to establish the Republic, General Lea was stricken
with paralysis and his public career was at an end. He returned to
Southern California; and at Ocean Park on November 1st, 1912, while
looking out toward the land that he loved so well, Homer Lea yielded
up his soul. He was not destined to see the fulfillment of his dream;
but when the people for whom he labored shall some day have
established a true democracy, his name will loom large in their
history.
In December, the Museum of History, Science and Art, so favorably
situated in Exposition Park, was informally opened[52] to the public
under the scholarly administration of Dr. Frank S. Daggett, who had
been appointed Director the year previous; and during the few months
following, Professor Daggett, backed by the Board of Supervisors,
carried forward with such enterprise the excavations of the pits at La
Brea _rancho_ that, before the ornate building was ready to receive
the finds, a unique collection of fossils invaluable for the study of
California fauna had been assembled. The discovery of these evidences
of primeval animal life, already concentrating the attention of the
scientific world, may well be regarded with pride by every Southern
Californian; while the proper housing here of precious souvenirs
recalling those whose lives have contributed so much to making Los
Angeles what it was and is, will permanently add to the attractions of
the Southland.
Pluckily resisting the inroads of an insidious disease, yet cheerful
under all the discouraging circumstances and as deeply interested as
ever in the welfare of this community, Charles Dwight Willard has been
confined to his home for many months. On my last visit I found him
very feeble,[53] though still fired with a resistless enthusiasm; the
power of his mind asserting itself over the flesh in forcible, if
quiet, expression. We sat in a comfortable little bower at his home on
San Rafael Heights, with Mrs. Willard, his faithful companion; and
after he had uttered an earnest desire to see these memoirs published,
we chatted about his life and his activities here. Born in Illinois
and graduating from the University of Michigan, an affection of the
lungs, brought on by an attack of typhoid fever, induced him in 1888
to come to Los Angeles in search of a milder climate. His first
occupation here was to serve as a reporter for the _Times_, and then
for the morning _Herald_. In 1891, he was elected Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce; and during the six years of his incumbency he
raised the membership from one hundred and fifty to a thousand, at the
same time contributing in a powerful manner to the leading part played
by this organization in the fight for a free harbor. During that
period also, in conjunction with Frank A. Pattee and Harry Brook (both
well-known wielders of the pen), he started the _Land of Sunshine_
(six months later taken over by Charles F. Lummis, as editor, and in
1902 renamed the _Out West Magazine_;) while in 1897 he assumed the
management of the Los Angeles _Express_, from which he resigned two
years later. In 1892, he organized with others the Municipal League,
serving it ever since as either Secretary or Vice-President, and in
the same energetic way in which he toiled as Secretary of the
Associated Jobbers. In his literary capacity, Willard has been equally
efficient, being the author of a compact _History of Los Angeles_, a
_History of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce_, _The Free Harbor
Contest_ and a high school text-book on city government, all of
which, as well as contributions to the San Francisco _Argonaut_, have
been favorably received by a discerning public.
Frank Wiggins' name is considered by many of his friends a synonym for
that of the Chamber of Commerce. Like his predecessor, Charles D.
Willard, Wiggins came to California for his health; and upon its
restoration, identified himself with the Chamber of Commerce on
September 17th, 1889, becoming Secretary in 1897. Although ferociously
bewhiskered, he is the mildest and best-natured man in town. He has
had charge, in all parts of the country, of many exhibits so unique
and so successful that he is known from coast to coast.
On May 24th, 1913, while many thousand people were assembled at Long
Beach for a Southern California celebration of Empire Day, one of the
worst of local catastrophes occurred through the caving-in of the
defective floor of a crowded dancing pavilion. Medical and police aid
were at once despatched from Los Angeles; but the result of the
accident, the death of forty persons and injury to many more, cast a
deep spell over the two cities.
Dr. Charles F. Lummis, assisted by other public-spirited men and women
of Los Angeles including Lieutenant-General Adna R. Chaffee[54] (the
first President), Joseph Scott, Mrs. Clara B. Burdette, Miss Mary E.
Foy, M. H. Newmark and William Lacy, on the last day of 1907
incorporated the Southwest Museum.[55] On the 1st of March, 1910, Dr.
Lummis, celebrating his fifty-first birthday, conveyed to the Museum
his priceless collection of _Americana_. A sightly eminence of
seventeen acres near Sycamore Grove was secured; and on November 16th,
1912, ground was broken with the formalities usual to such events, the
first spadeful being turned by Miss Elizabeth Benton Frémont, daughter
of the Pathfinder, followed by General Chaffee and Dr. Lummis. An
inspiring feature of the day was the raising by Miss Frémont and
General Chaffee of the same flag that on August 16th, 1842 General
Frémont had unfurled on the crest of the Rocky Mountains. On this
occasion Henry W. O'Melveny presented a certified check for fifty
thousand dollars, the bequest of Mrs. Carrie M. Jones. This auspicious
beginning was followed, on July 9th, 1913, by the pouring of the first
concrete.[56] How broadly and well those have built who planned this
much-needed institution may be seen from both the distinguishing
architectural features of the structure, including the caracole tower
of cement, and the location--one of the most notable occupied by any
museum in the United States.
Dr. J. A. Munk, an Ohioan, to whom I have just referred, has not been
in Los Angeles as long as many others, having arrived only in 1892,
but he is known among his friends for his charming personality, and
among historians and scientists for his splendid collection of
_Arizoniana_--commenced on his first trip to Arizona in 1884--all of
which has been given to the Southwest Museum.
Among the features of the Southwest Museum is the large square, or
so-called Torrance Tower, the funds for which were generously provided
by Jared S. Torrance, whose residence in Pasadena dates from 1887. In
that year he came from the Empire State; and ever since he has been an
active participator in the development of Southern California. The
town of Torrance is an example of his enterprise.
My sixty years' residence in Los Angeles has been by no means free
from the ordinary family cares, vicissitudes and sorrows, and it seems
proper that I should refer to the physicians who, in times of illness,
have ministered to the comfort of my home and its inmates. Our first
doctor was John S. Griffin, and he continued in that capacity until I
left for New York. Shortly before 1873, Dr. Griffin, whose advancing
age compelled him to withdraw from general practice, had been calling
Dr. Joseph Kurtz into consultation; and it was then that the latter
became my family physician. For a short time, I consulted Dr. Charles
A. H. De Szigethy, a relic of the old school, whose nauseating doses
were proverbial; and then Dr. John R. Haynes, now well known as an
advocate of Socialism, who had arrived from Philadelphia in May, 1887,
assumed the responsibility. Again a long period elapsed before events
caused a change. In the year 1897, my nephew, Dr. Philip Newmark, came
to Los Angeles from Berlin and succeeded Dr. Haynes.
Notwithstanding these mutations and cares, my friends have often
insisted that I am quick and perhaps even sprightly for my age, and
have more than once asked to what I attribute this activity and
alertness. It is due, I think, first, to the inheritance from my
parents of a strong constitution; and, secondly, to the preservation
of my health by a moderate, though never over-abstemious, manner of
living.
To begin with, ever since I traveled with my father in Sweden, I have
kept my mind healthfully employed, while I have never long deprived
myself of rest. I have also always used tobacco and liquor in
moderation; and in this connection I can testify that, although wine
and beer were at the free disposal of my children, they have grown up
to use it either most temperately or not at all. This fact I ascribe
to liberal views on such subjects; for it has always been my belief
that to prohibit is to invite, whereas to furnish a good example and
at the same time to warn, is to insure rational restriction and
limitation. In short, in preparation for a vigorous old age, I have
followed as closely as I could the ancient ideal, "A sound mind in a
sound body."
At the age of nineteen, I came to Los Angeles; and after a lapse of
exactly sixty years--that is, on October 21st, 1913--I find myself
completing these reminiscences, ruminating on the past, and attempting
a prophecy for the future.
A battle of eighty years with the world cannot, in the nature of human
affairs, leave any man or woman unscarred; but I have learned many
things, and among them the consolations of philosophy. It would be
presumption on my part to make complaint against the inscrutable
decrees of that Providence which guides the destinies of us all; I
dwell, rather, on the manifold blessings which have been my lot in
this life--the decision of Fate which cast my lines in the pleasant
places of Southern California; the numerous excellent and estimable
friends whom I have met on life's highway; the many years of happiness
vouchsafed me to enjoy; and, finally, whatever degree of success has
attended my more serious efforts.
When I came, Los Angeles was a sleepy, ambitionless adobe village with
very little promise for the future. The messenger of Optimism was
deemed a dreamer; but time has more than realized the fantasies of
those old village oracles, and what they said would some day come to
pass in Los Angeles, has come and gone, to be succeeded by things much
greater still. We possessed however, even in that distant day, one
asset, intangible it is true, but as invaluable as it was
intangible--the spirit popularly called "Western," but which, after
all, was largely the pith of transferred Eastern enterprise. This
characteristic seized upon a vast wilderness--the same which Daniel
Webster declared, in the Senate of the United States, unworthy of
membership in the sisterhood of States; and within this extensive area
it builded great cities, joined its various parts with steel and iron,
made great highways out of the once well-nigh impassable cattle-paths,
and from an elemental existence developed a complex civilization. Nor
is there to-day in all this region a greater or finer city than fair
Los Angeles.
Many of us saw it grow; none of us foresaw that growth, even from
decade to decade.
"Westward the course of empire takes its way." When Bishop Berkeley so
poetically proclaimed this historic truth, even he could hardly have
had in mind the shores of the Pacific; but here we have an empire, and
one whose future is glorious. This flourishing city stands, in fact,
with its half million or more human beings and its metropolitan
activities, at the threshold of a new era. The operations of Nature
change so slowly as to show almost no change at all: the Southern
California of the coming years will still possess her green hills and
vales, her life-giving soil, her fruits, flowers and grain, and the
same sun will shine upon her with the same generous warmth, out of the
same blue sky, as ever. The affairs of men, on the other hand, change
rapidly. After gigantic labor initiated but ten short years ago, the
Panamá Canal is dedicated to the use of mankind, and through its
crowded waters will come the ships of every nation, bringing to the
marts of Los Angeles choice products to be exchanged for our own. For
this and other reasons, I believe that Los Angeles is destined to
become, in not many years, a world-center, prominent in almost every
field of human endeavor; and that, as nineteen hundred years ago the
humblest Roman, wherever he might find himself, would glow with pride
when he said, "I am a Roman!" so, in the years to come, will the son
of the metropolis on these shores, wheresoever his travels may take
him, be proud to declare,
"I AM A CITIZEN OF LOS ANGELES!"
