HARPER'S s
History
Or THE
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at SI6 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I6&xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford $40 and kept asking for the
old "Harpers Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was SO inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so com
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice superintendent paper-better
than ever betore-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as s.
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

neither apologize for nor condemn such

Among the foreign events of the sum-
mer that will affect industrial and COM
mercial conditions in California, the most
important in itself, and, perhaps, the
most far-reaching in its consequences, is
the completion of the Tehuantepeo Rail-
way. Although it has been but few
days since the road was formally opened
il is reported that the traffic over the line
is already large and profitable, and great
hopes are felt that the future traffic will
exceed even the most ssnguine expecta-
tions of the builders.

SCHOOL BOARD MIDDLE
PRECEDENT PEPPER WAS ELECTED
LAST YEAR BY BALLOT.
He Contends His Election is LegaI-Aud-
itor Teale Hesitating About Aud
iting the Boards Demands.
Mr.. Platt's Case.

The question which has arisen about
the legality of DR.. Peppers reelection
as president of the city board of educa-
ton was the subject Of considerable talk
yesterday.
When City Auditor Teale was seen he
stated that if it should prove that the
law applied to DR.. Peppers Office re-
curing his election to be by open ballot
he would not aulit any more supply de-
mands until the matter was straight
ened out. The teachers salary de-
mands, however, would be audited as
usual.
point was raised that President
Pepper. having been the president last
year. would hold until his successor was
elected and qualified, and that even if
the RECEIPT election was illegal he would
90 ahead under his previous election.
A curious fact was dug up concerning
that last years election. 1t was pre-
cisely the same as the one two weeks
ago, by secret ballot. The following is
copy of the page in the minutes of the
board, showing how the election of a
year ago was held:
January 8, 1885,
New board was called to order by
Clerk Baker.
On motion, Mr.. L. r. Patty was
elected temporary chairman.
Mr.. A. E. baker was chosen temporary
secretary.
DR.. Wills nominated Mrs. Hughes for
permanent chairman; seconded by Mr..
Ashman.
Mr.. Platt nominated DIR. Pepper; Sec
onded by Mr.. Buchler.-
Nominations were then closed.
The election was ordered to take place
by ballot.
Messrs. Baker and Friesner were ap-
pointed tellers.
The vote resulted as follows:
Mrs. Hughes, 8.
DR.. Pepper, 6.
DR.. Pepper was declared president for
the eneuing year.
DIR. Pepper made a few appropriate re.
marks on resuming the chair.
DIR. Pepper holds that his election is
legal. He contends that the charter
gives the board the right to make it's
own rulee, and that one of the rules so
made provides for an election by ballot,
instead of by roll call as provided by
the charter. He also contends that the
office iaA not one that comes under the
provisions made by the charter.
There is no doubt that the board
made a bull when it granted Director
Platt 80 days leave of absence.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1894-01-27

put to work next Monday, January 90,
1894, on street and park work, under
such rules and regulations as they may
adopt. No action was taken on this
motion at the time.
The resignation OF Sutherland Hutton
from the citizens committee was &C
cepted, and Martin O. Marsh was APP
pointed in his place.
After considerable caucusing Mr..
Munson withdrew his motion. In doing
so he said he was surprised that some
members of the council were absent at
such an important meeting. 1t took six
men to do business. and he had found
that there WAS disagreement about his
motion and consequently he withdrew
it.
Presently. after more talk on the side,
Mr.. Munson renewed his motion for the
citizens committee to appoint, changing
the time for the men to go to work to
Thursday OF next week, the labor COM
mission to make out the list of men to
work Monday as usual.
The council then adjourned.

investigation could be made.
Director Stimson asked for leave of
absence, as he was about to visit Chi
cago. 1t was granted. l.. N. Breed was
appointed to act on the building COM
mittee in place of Mr.. Stimson.

POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
SOME POLICE OFFICERS RAKED
OVER THE GOALS.
One is Asked to Resign and Two Are
Flned-The License Ordinance to
Be Amended to Hit the
Cracker Man.

The police commissioners held a Sc
cret session in Mayor Rowan's office
yesterday morning to consider the
charges of drunkenness brought against
Officers Curran and Donohue, and a more
serious charge-that of extorting money
from Japanese prostitute-sgainst Of
ficer Sam Dugan.
There were quite number OF wit
nesses examined, and only the result
OF the investigation was given to the
press.
Officer Curran was aeked to resign.
He has been a good officer, but the
commissioners thought he had sinned
once too often.
The charge was sustained against OFF,
Ger Donohue, bat instead of being let
out he was fined $50.
Officer Dugan's case was one that puz-
zled the commissioners. The charge of
extortion was not sustained, but he was
found guilty of having visited disrep.
utable place when he had no business to
do 30. He was fined $25.
The question of getting at the "crack-
err" men, who sell liquor under restau-
rant licenses, City Attorney Mcfarland
reported an ordinance to the com mis-
sioners which he thought was cure for
the evasions complained of.
The changes in the present ordinance,
now in force, will make the new ordi-
nance, if adopted, cover as many cases
as possible.
One section OF the new ordinance
reads: "For every restaurant and every
eating place where spirituous, vinous,
malt or mixed liquors are sold, served,
or given away, with bona fde meals, in
original, sealed packages, containing not
less than one pint, special license of =
dollars in addition to the regular restau-
rant License required by the ordinances
of said city,"
Section says mo license to keep,
maintain or carry ON any drinking place
or any restaurant or eating place where
sprltuous, malt or vinous liquors are
sold, served or given away shall be is.
sued to any person until permit in
writing from the board of police COM
missiouers of the city of Los Angeles,
authorizing such issue, shall have been
filed with the city clerk; and the board
of police commissioners shall have power
to revoke the same at any time; and
after the filing of such revocation with
the city clerk said clerk shall issue no
further license to the party whose per-
NIT is revoked until a new permit be
granted said party"
The commission adopted the ordinance
and recommended that the council pass
it.
The meeting then adjourned.
