SAN BERNARDINO FIESTA
The Los Angeles Press Club Will Be
f1onored Guests
The County Sued by tho Superintendent Of
Public Instruetion-The Fiesta
Bicycle Races

| Los Angeles Press Gu D Will be h0nored
guests on one day OF the Fiesta. A letter
| has been received from J. #. Carrsre. the
| prssid ,nt of the club. stating that the
members would be pleased to spend one
day in this city during the week, and
| asking what day woald be best to select.
The m after was at once referred to the
Fiesta committee. Whsn the matter was
brought 10 their attention it was at once
determined to invite the Los Angeles
newspaper men to be present on wedn es
day as the guests of the com m ittse, and
]. A. Whitlnore was delegstd to take the
matter in charge. During the aftern DON
he sent a telegram to President Carrere,
inviting the mem bers Of the Press Of ub
to be present on Wednesday as the big
day of the Fiesta, and asking how many
would come. No definite plans for the
entertainment of the visitors have as yet
bsen decided upon, but the newspaper
men of this city will cooperate with the
Fiesta com ittee in planning royal
good time for the craftsmen from abroad.
1t has just been determined that this
city has no ordinance against disreput-
able houses, it having been repealed some
time ago and not incorporated in any
other ordinance. The direct result of the
discovery will be the dismissal of the
case now pending against Harrison Bemis
for renting property for such uses. But
the agitation of the question has served
purpose, whether any prosecutions were
secured or not, and not only have most
of the uptown resorts been vacated, but
even the houses on street and below that
line have been deserted, and the people
living in that part Of town are almost at
a loss to account for the freedom from
noise and brawls which have been so
frequent in the past. With this state Of
affairs the officers are in quandary,
iect desired has been obtained further
prosecutions are nsedless. Certain 1t is
that there has been an emigration from
First street that almost amounts to an
exodus. and the result must have been an
increase in the population Of Alamsda
street in Los Angeles or similar sections
of other cities.
County Superintendent Margaret NJ.
Mogesu and District Attorney F. B.
Daley have been unable to agfee over q
bill which the former has presented to
the board Of supervisors. and tho court
will be called upon to decide whether the

The Law says that mem bers Of the
board shall receive IS Per 1ism for their
services. 1t also says that the county
superintendent is ex-ofioio secretary Of
the board. and putting the two sections
construed to mean that the county super
Intendent should receive s. per diem in
addition to the regular salary attaching
to tho office.
This has been the custom not only in
this county. but in all counties OF tho
D.
bill came up before the board the first
meeting in August, the district attorney
advised that it was not a legal charge
against the county. Uopn this advice. the
board OF supervisors refused payment,
and through her attorney. George B.
Cole, Miss Mogeau has instituted suit for
the amount, $55.

Since Sunday night two drummers, &C.
comp panied by two fair but evidsntly frall
damsels claiming to hail FROM the model
city of Pasadena, have been making
themselves obnoxiouslv conspicuous on
our streets and in public places. They
were denied admission at the Stewart on
their arrival IN this city, were subse
quently erected ct the New st. Charles
and have made their headquarters on
lower ID street. They have visited saloons
in violation OF law. At the springs they
made themselves so obnoxious by the
use of indecent language and their gen.
eral conduct that they drove respectable
people away.
