that committee had no idea that they
would receive reply that came yester-
day by wire.
During her visits in former years to this
city, Miss Juch has made many friends
and she had frequently expressed her de-
sire to visit Los Angeles, when profess
sional engagements did not prevent her
ern California climate.
Acting upon this expression of good
will, the committee wired Miss Juch ask
ing her to sing here during the Fiesta,
and inquiring under what terms she
would appear here. 1t has been stated
that since the lady's marriage to wealthy
New Yorker she had declined professional
offers, but accepted invitations where no
monetary considerations were included.
To the surprise of the music committee,
however, they received yesterday reply
in the following words: at would take
three weeks time and cancelling three
concerts here. Would you pay $500 if
came. Emma Juch Wellman, 315 Lexing-
ton avenue"

regretted that the sum she asked was
more than the Fiesta committee could APP

proposition is being considered that
will add to the interest on floral day.
After the parade through the principal
streets, the decorated carriages will drive
to Westlake Park, where a floral battle will
take place between the occupants of the
vehicles and the spectators. The latter
will be provided with seats at different
points along the lake, and these seats will
be sold and the prices graded. The car
riages will be driven around the park sew
eral times and arches covered with flow
ers will probably be erected at the en-
trance.
According to the suggestions made by
the Board of Education, the advisory
board of La Fiesta are preparing certain
regulations to provide thorough protection
to the school children. 1t will be tlfe aim
of the committee to look after the safety
of the youngsters, and no street cars will
be allowed to run on any street through
which the procession passes during
the time the parade takes place. In addi-
ton to this, carriages will follow the pro-
cession at different intervals, and those
children who are tired or become ex-
hausted through heat or exerton will
be at once placed in the vehicles and sent
to their homes. In this manner it is
hoped that the objections of the Board of
Education and of the parents will be over
come.
The bunting for the street decorations
has been ordered by J. T. Steward, and it
will be here on the first of next month.
In the main, the street decorations will be
of the same character as last year. but it
is possible that some handsome shield
may be added to the flags.
At the meeting of the advisory board
last evening a letter was read from Dr.
Granville MACEDONIAN, addressed to Mayor
RAIDER and referred by him to the board.
In that missve DR.. MACEDONIAN suggested
that the Queen be chosen this year from
among the native daughters of Los An
geles, and after paying high tribute to
the grace and beauty of the latter, he
suggested the name of Mrs. Modini Wood
as one who would grace the royal throne
The letter was placed on file, as it was
not addressed to the committee.
