l DECISION YET
The Executive Committee Of the National Ed
ucationaI Association Met at Chi
cago Yesterday

Those who have been giving the long
end in the wager that the next annual
convention OF tha National Educational
association would be held in Los Angeles
had better hedge. The odds are against
them at an approximate isurs of m ore
than 1000 to 1.
The executive committee of the associ-
alton held meeting at the Auditorium
hotel, Chicago, yesterday for the purpose
OF settling the timo and place of the con-
vention. Superintendent of Schools
Foshay, who has been iaboring hard to
bring the meeting here. had arranged In
advance for tclegrsphic announcement
OF tho result. The wire to him did not
reach until well along in the aftern oon.
and when it came it was not such as to
cause any remarkable amount of hilarity
to be uncorked in the rooms of the board
OF education. Secretary Dandy had a
chill and had to be taken home in a
back. strapped to borrowed bicycle,
while Assistant Superintendent Ennis
relieved his feelings upon:an unoffending
accidentally left upon his desk as a token
OF esteem. Superintendent Foshay him
self was tho only one in the immediate
vicinity who would not permit himself
OF become discouraged. He IS still of the
opinion that all is not yet lost and that
the convention may yet come to Los An
geles.
DIR. Norman Bridge of Pasadena was
in attendance upon the executive COM
mittee meeting held at Chicago yester-
day, and it was he who wired the result
t, this city. His telegram was TO the
effect that the committee had adjourned
without taking any final action and that
Los Angeles still had fighting chance
for the convention, with the odds, how
ever, against this city. The executive
committee will hold another meeting at
Atlanta on October Goth. when the con
vention city will be named. The chances
are that the meeting will go to Boston.

Size left her home ia this city some
time about the 1st of Septem ber, goin z
from house to house asking for work,
sometimes claiming to be sick and at
one time was sent to the county hospital

found there was nothing the matter. She
sometimes feigns fainting in order to
create sympathy. She tells that she has
come from Nebraska, has been here about
nine months, that her mother is living in
Omaha and that her father is dead. She
has little or no clothing with her and
tells that family where she was stopping
moved away, taking her clothing with
them.
The facts Of the case are that she has
lived in this city for about seven years :;
that she has q kind, indulgent father and
mother who are driven nearly to the
verge OF insanity with the dread OF some
misfortune happening to their daughter.

The Water Company Wants to
i See the, Council
TO REACH COMMON GROUND
Reviving the Old Question of Fire
Hydrants
Secretary Mott Says that the Company Pur-
chased the Hydrants and Placed Them
Where They Now Are

The Los Angeles Water company ap-
pears to have finally tired of the bril-
liant plays made from time to time by
divers and sundry members of the coun-
Gil, for the benefit of the public. Ill the
matter of water hydvants ard has at last
conclud cd to make play IN the game
upon its own hook. With this end in
view, the following written proposition
was yesterday filed:
10 the Honorable Mayor and Council of
the City of Los Angeles:-
Gentlemen There can be no question
shat the ownership of the fire hydrants
is IN the water company that purchased
and placed them where they are; so long
as they are used exclusively as t1re hy-
drants.
When, however the city takes possess
sion Of these hydrants and uses them for
other purposes than fire hydrants. 1t
must be conceded that the city thereby
becomes responsible for all damages and
injuries thereto occasioned by reason Of
the city's using them for other purposes
than for extinguishing fires.
The water company respectfully sug-
eests that the amount of damages and
injuries caused to said hydrants under
the circumstances above stated should
be determined by proper committee of
the council and by agreement with
committee of the water company.
All that the water company asks is that
the members of the council shall look at
this matter with the view of seeing JUS
tice done between the parties concerned.
For we cannot believe that they consid-
or it their cuty to contend that the city
has lawful right to authorize its agents
to commit trespass and damages on tho
property Of any individual or corporation
without paying for the losses and dam
ages caused by such trespasses and in
juries.
The above is signed by s. H. Mott, who
Is the secretary of the water company.
j The proposition made will tomorrow
come before the council and will prob
ably be referred to the city attorney.
