THE PAPER CARNIVAL
To Be Continued Through This and Tomor.
row Evening

To Be Continued Through This and Tomor.
row Evening
After four days of brilliant artistic sue
cess the paper carnival has added two
more evenings. Friday and Saturday of
this week, to the list of its entertain.
ment, and appeals to the public on the
merits of the spectacle to make the clos
ing nights grand financial success.
When it is considered that all the money
thus far received in this really great en-
1ertainment has been returned to the
pockets of our own Los Angeles people. it
will be seen at once that the carnival has
just claim for public support, not only
from the superior merits of the entertain
ment Itself, but from a puro business
point of view. In response ito popular
demand enc price has been made for the
whole house. tonight and Saturday night,
25 cents. No reserved seats. This even
ing American night will be repeated. with
the grand tableau of Colum bia and the
Revolutionary Heroes the March of the
States and, by universal request the May
Pole dance. 1t may be interesting to the
public to know that Mrs. John Gray is
the originator of the paper carnival. and
that this Is the fourteenth time which it
has been given under her supervision; !;
that it has never been given for private
gain. but always for church and charlta-
BILE purposes, and that it has netted ov er
$50 900 for such purposes.

MINORITY REPORT PROBABLE
Opposition to the 3 IL Per Cent Arclli.
tects' Fee
nembers of the Council Believe That Super
intendent Strange Should Supervise
the New School Houses

The award of 81 per cent of the total
cost of the proposed new school build
ints, which amount it is proposed to pay
the successful architects for the accept
ance of their plans, will not be adopted
IN the city council if cerlain membe of
the sub-council committee conferring with
the board of education can prevent it.
The majority report recommending the
31a per cent award has been completed
and is now in possession OF Councilman
Kingery of the council subcommittee.
Mr.. Kingery himself may not sign the re-
port and Councilman Blanchard of the
committee states thai he certainly does
not intend to concur in this portion OF the
report. Mr.. Blanchard yesterday in
formed Herald reporter that he would
not consent to have the city pay for arch
itects' fees seven or eight thousand dol
lars, when the result desired to be ac-
com mplished can be attained for about $50.
The city charter explicitly provides
that the construction of all city buildings
shall be supervised by the city's superin-
tendent of buildings. and Superintendent
Strange. who has been asked by different
members of the joint council and school
board committees having the matter in
charge, thinks that with the assistance of
TWO urauSHtSmen ne can supervise the
construction of the proposed new puilo-
ings without it interfering with his reg
ular duties.
The recommendations IN the matter
will be made to the council at the regular
meeting to be held on Monday. The
joint school hoard and council comm ittees
having the subject in charge meet for
final formal action tomorrow morning.
it is freely stated that an advertisement
inviting competition would bring tenders
from architects to superintend the pro-
posed new buildings aG figure consid-
erably less than 81 per cent.
Superintendent Strange. being hims
an architect is naturally averse to inter-
feirng at all in the existing controversy.
He is far from seeking the job of super
lntendence in the new school houses, pre-
ferring to see his professional colleagues
reap all OF the benefits possible from the
arrangement OF 31a per cent OF the total
cost of the new buildings. as has been
volunteered BY the Southern California
chapter of architects.

A CHINESE SLAVE
Habeas Corpus Proceedings to Rescue On Joy
From a MongoI Den

Habeas Corpus Proceedings to Rescue On Joy
From a MongoI Den
Mrs. II. A. Watson petitioned the su-
perior court yesterday for writ of habeas
corpus directing Wong Suey, an Apa-
blasa street brothel keeper, to produce a
woman named On Joy into court. The
petition alleged that the Chinese girl was
a prisoner in the house against her will,
and that to better keep her. Wong Suey
had locked her up in a room. Upon
proper showing being made that the
Chinaman would seek to defeat the ap-
plicatlon for writ by carrying the woman
beyond the jurisdiction of the court,
Judge York ordered On JOY taken in to
custody, forthwith. Under Sheriff Glenn
ent then went down to Chinatown and
took the girl away from her keeper.
When the case was taken up the wit
nesses called by the petitioner could not
be found, and it was intimated tnat they
had been scared away by the Wong tong.
By the aid of an interpreterit was learned
that she is married and was on a visit to
an aunt. 1t was not divulged how she
and three other women happened to be
staying at Wong Suey's bIothel. On Joy
was evidently scared considerably while
being interrogated by Wong Fawn. fel-
low who has made himself very officious
for the defense in the Wong Chuey MUIR
der case. On Joy was remanded to the
custody of the sheriff until this morning.
