TO LIGHT MARKET STREET,
Merchants Association Favors
the Use of Electricity
Entirely.
Claims OF Associated Creditors
Called to the Attention of
the Supervisors.

The Merchants Association placed
itself on record regarding the proposed
lighting of market street by electricity at
its monthly meeting yesterday.
The fact that petition was before the
Board of Supervisors requesting that
Market street, from the ferries to Valencia
street, be lighted by electricity, was called
to the attention of the association, and a
resolution was passed indorsing the pro-
posed new system and suggesting to the
Supervisors that the wires for the lights
be strung from iron masts which should
be set in the center of the street, sur
rounded by basalt-block squares built up
from the surface of the street. These bases
to be large enough 20 serve as resting
places for pedestrians crossing the street,
or as refuge from danger of passing
teams.
A committee appointed at the last meet
ing in the matter of distractions to the
sidewalks reported that it had called upon
the proprietors of the daily newspapers,
and had been assured that they would do
everything in their power to assist the
movement. The committee stated that,
as the papers were the parties most inter-
ested, having numerous bulletin-board 8
that would come under the proposed or
dinance, their example would most likely
start grand movement to clear the streets
of all distractions.
Resolutions indorsing the Nicaragua
canal and urging its loyal support by Cali
fornia's Representatives in Congress were
adopted.
1t was decided to attend the Mechanics
Fair in a body on Wednesday morning
next to inspect the associations exhibit
of streetwork, and to extend an invitation
to the Mayor, Board of Supervisors and
Superintendent of Streets to be present on
that occasion.
The association took occasion to urge the
claims of the Associated Creditors of the
City and County to recognition at the hands
Of the Board of Supervisors, and the follow

last evening of apoplexy.
The deceased was born at Alexandria,
Va, June %. 1926, and was educated at
Georgetown College, D. c. At his gradua-

ing to West Point, but eventually made up
his mind to enter the Jesuit order, which
he did August 81 following, at Frederick
Nd. Here he continued his studies in
English literature and the ancient classics
in which he attained such eminence in
after years as to be esteemed one of the
leaders of the literary world. Henry w.
Longfellow and Oliver Wendell Holmes
were his bosom friends, and considered his
sentence of approyal or disapproval of their
elucubrations as final. The Autocrat of
the Breakfast Table regarded Father Full
ton as one of the most brilliant CONVEX
sationalists in America. The Fulton Lit
erary Club of Boston, Mass, owes its exist
ence to his active exertions in the cause of
literary culture among the Catholic young
men of the Hub.

In process Building Third Broadway

Rchelieu. The resort will be opened in
the fine new Marsh & Gage block, being
erected between Broadway and Spring
streets. The entire building is being
erected for Mr.. Kern, upon q ten-year
lease. The spacious lower floor will be
fitted up in style and elegance commen-
surate with the demands of the polite
trade of q tirst-class metropolitan clnb
room. 1t is the purpose of the manage
IN mt to eXpend not less than $4,000 in
fixtures alone. The upper floors, con-
tanning ten rooms each, will be sublet.
Mr.. Kern has been a resident of Los An
geles for seven years, during all of which
time he has been recognized as one OF the
most public spirited and progressive cit
Izens of the city. Two years ago the
Richelieu was founded ny him as
polite, gentleman's bar. From the first
the enterprise has met with unmeasured
success, and today enjoys the patronage
OF the select trade of the city.
At his new quarters Mr.. Kern will
have an opportunity of still further in
dulging his tastes and inclnations in sur
rounding himself with such artistic ac-
cessories as are demanded by the leading
club parlors of the eastern cities. That
he will not be slow to improve his oppor-
tunity is foregone conclusion, and that
the gentlemen of Los Angeles will be pro-
yided with a club room elegant in all OF
its appointments. and stocked with the
best of everything, is equally well
assured,
