And now comes Mr. II. ]. Hanchette.
Secretary of the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce, who, in a letter to Director
Hancock, under date of the 18th, states
that at a meeting of the Board of Directors
of that body, held on the preceding day,
the following resolutions were adopted:
Resolred, That the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce recognizes the fact that the relation
of the State Board of Agriculture TO the citrus
fair held in this city last March was much mis-
understood and misconstrued by the public,
and that inferences were then drawn rejecting

Resoired further, That in view of these facts
the Chamber fnlly appreciates the broad spirit
that prompted the said Managing Director, g.

les as the place for holding the Southern Citrus
Fair, and appreciates the action of the Board In

her Christian zeal and enthusiasm won
universal admiration and added large
number OF members to the Union. Mrs.
Bullock's address on Our Dangerous In

practical. The next evening her theme
was Save the Boys the best, the grandest

dan, the Sacramento runaway girl, sent to
the Industrial School. Three weeks ago
Frank Dolan managed to get the girl to
leave the home of her parents, in thisucity,
and took her to San Francisco. On their
arrest there Dolan procured license and
married the girl, swearing that she was IS
years OF age. After the marriage ceremony
Dolan placed the girl in house of
i'll. fame, from which place she was taken
by officers Anthony and Campbell. Dolan
was later arrested on charge of perjury,
and his case came 10 yesterday. His bail
was fixed al 81 coo, which was furnished
by George H. Lorg and man named
A. Frederieks, who keeps dive saloon at
406 Dupont street. Just as Dolan was
about to leave the prison after being bailed
he was arrested on charge of vagrancy.
The girl will not make any statement
regarding Dolan while in his company,
and stated positively that she was II years
old. The mother of the girl was in Court,
however, and informed the Judge that her
daughter was 16 years of age last month.
The case against Dolan for perjury will
probably result IN bis being sent TO San

Last Years Unpleasantness DispelIed by
the Dove of Peace.
A year sgo some unplessantness was cre-
ated between the Los Angeles people and
Director Hancock of the State Board of
Agriculture, in regard to the latter's ap-
pointment by the Board as Manager of the
Southern Citrus Fair. The whole thing
was the result of misunderstanding, and
it is gratifying 70 note the fact that all
feeling in the matter has been dispelled.
In referring thereto, the Chino Valley
Champion, under the heading, "a Citrus
Fair incident and It's Happy Ending, u
says:
About year ago peculiar inteIes. was
given to the Champion by the correspondence

pleased at his appointment as Managing Di-
rector of the Citrus Fair, and made 50 much
opposition to him that the Board substituted
Richard Grid to manage the southern fair.
About that time the press down this way very
severely criticised him. Re treated all the
critics as coarse and prejudiced, warmed up TO
the Champion, and it became his Official organ
He only expected a fair hearing, and incident
ally fame, and the Champion gave him both.
Now all this is preliminary 10 saying that Mr..
Hancock has become better known in this end

Slightly Warmer Yesterday, and Few
Hours of Sunshine.
The Signal Service temperature at A. NJ
and 8 P NJ. yesterday was $50 and 44o,
while the highest and lowest was 4So
and $40, with gentle northerly winds
during the forenoon, and fresh south
erly winds in the afternoon, which blew
away the clouds to such an extent that the
sun was visible during some portions of the
afternoon.
The highest and lowest temperature one
year ago yesterday was $40 aud 400, and
one year ago to-day $40 and $50, both days
being clear.
The barometer at A. NJ aud 5 P. NJ. yes
terday recorded so % and 80 % inches, re.
spectively. That instrument yesterday was
above 80 inches in Oregon and Washington,
and in all probability the anti-cyclonic area
of day or so ago has pushed on eastward
instead of coming this way. There was a
precipitation of rainfall yesterday along
the coast as far south as Eureka, and in the
interior it fell as far south as Yreka.

There was session of the Police Court
last evening, and the case of John Meyers,

called for examination. The prosecuting
witness was Alexander LIE Blanc who tes-
tilted that Meyers accosted him on the
street several times and threatened to shoot
him when he got an opportunity and
when he Gle Bianc) was alone.
The defense wanted the Court to permit
them TO show that the complaining wit.
ness was IL the habit of making love TO
the defendants wife, but the Court would
not allow It.
During the testimony, the defendant
wife grew very much exclted and by turns
cried, laughed and interrupted the wit

Judge Buckley discharged the defendant
believing that there was really nothing in
the case. He informed the defendant
however, that he would not be permitted

CITY AFFAIRS.
THE TRUSTEES WANT CHINA SLOUGH
FILLED WITH EARTH.
AsLittle More Money Needed for Street
Improvements-Patri Heffer-
mans Saloon.


AT yesterdays session of the City Board
of Trustees Jas. A. Popert asked the Board
to request R. s. Carey to put his track on
the grade on II street, from Twentieth to
Twenty third, SO that the property owners
could go on with the grading of the street.
The matter was referred to the Street Com
missioner.
The Mayor said he had investigated the
matter of the right of Patrick Heffernan to
establish a saloon at Twenty fourth and J
streets, and had not reached any conclusion.
The neighbors complained to him that boys
were given drinks in the place, but he did
not know how true their statements were.
On the suggestion of Trustee McLaughlin,
it was ordered that Mr.. Heffernan be per-
mitted to conduct his saloon business until
the expiration of his license. If he wishes
to continue in the business, he must then
make application for new license.
A remonstrance was received against the
proposed improvement Of s street, from
Sixth 10 Eleventh. Referred to the Street
Commissioner.
Bassett g. Touhey were granted thirty
onyo tluC IL WbiOh W CothplCtC
the work of grading and graveling II
street, from Tenth to Twenty-third.
A resolution of intention was passed to
construct an 1S-inch stone-pipe sewer in
the alleys between and X streets. from
Seventeenth to Twenty. fifth.
A request that street-crossing he laid at
Twenty-fourth and @ streets was referred
to the Street Commissioner.
Trustee Mclaughlin suggested that, as
the ready money in the streetimprovement
fund vas getting short, notices ought to be
published in the papers, announcing that
more city bonds were ready for sale.
The Mayor thought advertisements would
be of no use. Those in Sacramento who
were liable to buy bonds could be notified
without advertising.
The matter was laid over for one week.
Trustee Wolf asked whether or not the
sense of the Board was that new water
cylinder be purchased for the Stevens
pump.
Trustee Mclaughlin said he believed the
pumping machinery ought to be kept in
the best of condition possible.
Mayor Comstock wanted the cylinder re-
paired, and thought the cost ought not to
exceed 500. He considered it would be
sufficient to put a, couple of iron bands
around the cylinder.
well, go ahead and do it" said Trustee
Wolf. You'll have to stand the response
bility if you do"
The Mayor wanted further time to con-
slider the matter, and the usual disposition
was made of it-continued one week.
1t was ordered that China slough be con-
demned as q nuisance and that the railroad
company and other property-owners be re-
quested to commence the work of filling in.
A number of bills were allowed, and the
Board adjourned.

median, in the lead, appeared at the Metro
politan Theater last night. The auditorium
was packed, and il is estimated that fully
three hundred people were turned away, as
the seats were all filled, and no more

has not changed. His witticisms are much
the same as when he was last seen here.
Much the same is to be said of Kelly, who
has appeared here twice before. Both are
very clever in their specialties, and kept the
audience last night in almost a constant
roar of laughter Indeed, the people ap-
peared to be very anxious to laugh, and in
dulged their desire upon the slightest pro-
vocation, and sometimes where there was
apparently no cause for it. The support
included a number of graceful female
dancers, and clever singer, with a

extensive experience among the orange
groves, being largely interested in citrus
culture. Mr.. Gnfiin was shown carload
of oroYille oranges, and was delighted with
the quality and appearance of the fruit.
He says it compares favorably with that

Speaking of the Florida crop, he says
the yield will be far in excess of early esti-
mates, and the most conservative growers
now place the crop at 2,75o.0o boxes, or
10000 carloads. He expressed the opinion
that there would still be plenty of room in
the East for the crop of Northern Califor-

but later fruit would come into serious
competition.
