FIESTA POSTER.
The Prize for the Best Design Awarded
to NJ f. Curran

The Fiesta executive committee met
yesterday afternoon to pass judgment
upon the designs submitted for poster
for the Fiesta of 1897. Although it had
not been very extensively advertised
that the committee would give a cash
prize of $35 for the best accepted de-
sign, there were no less than forty de-
signs to select from. Most of these were
so good that it was difficult for the COM
mttee to arrive at decision.
Secretary Walton had appointed HIM
self as hanging committee early in the
day, and when the judges arrived the
posters were all artistically arranged on
the walls of the committee room. This
gave a splendid opportunity for inspec-
ton and comparison. After about two
hours deliberation and careful criti-
cism, the committee came to the conclu-
sion that the design submitted by M. e.
Curran was the most meritorious and
best adapted to the use of the Fiesta. 1t
was accordingly accepted and ordered
sent to the photographer forthwith
The accepted design is of the Aubrey
Beardsley pattern, which is so much the
rage at present. A description of it need

LOOKS LIKE A SCHEME.
Close Relations of Two Republican Can
ddates for the School Board.


One of the smoothest schemes in the
history of Los Angeles politics has just
come to the surface--fortunatelyi In time
for every voter to become familiar with
and place his stamp of disapproval upon
it. 1t relates to the candidates for the
board of education in the Third and
Fourth wards. In the early part of last
summer the present school board con-
cluded to purchase pianos for the schools
instead of renting them The efforts of
two members of the board to give the
contract to certain firm, regardless
of other bids that were lower al oassd
such a storm of disapproval that the
matter was finally postponed. and the
purchase left to the new board which Is
to be elected on December 7th.
And now comes the pretty little plo.,
which has so far gone on unchecked.
Mr.. a. G. Bartlett sought and obtained
the Republican nomination for the board
of education in the Third ward. and in
order to be doubly sure OF consummat-
ing the job in view, Mr.. L. c. McKeeby
secured the nomination as member from
the Fourth ward Mr.. Mckeoby is Mr..
Bartlett's father law. and of course
will stand by his son-inlaw in the COM

THE CHIEF IS CALLOUS
He Has a Supreme Contempt for Thes
''Meddling Ministers"


Chief of Police Glass was seen in his
office last evening and interroeated re =.
earding the latest move of the Parkhurst
league and as to what action he should
take, If any. To request for an inter-
view he gave a courteous but emphatic
denial. saying that he was done talking
about the ministers or their movements.
Profound ignorance of the fling of
twenty complaints against saloon keep
ers and others was professed. In fact,
said the chief 81 know absolutely moth

Being asked whether or not the war
rants of arrest had been placed in the
hands of the police department for se"
vice, he replied that they had not to his
knowledge. Should this action be taken
he would see that every party against
whom a complaint had been issued was
arrested.
His attention was called to the fact
that DIR. Mclean had expressed desire
that the chief be present at the mass
meeting to be held this evening in Simp-
son tabernacle and have an opportunity
of making any statement that he Nigh.

he burst forth angrily, and on being
asked as to whether or not he should
avail himself of the opportunity, re-
piled:

DIR. M'LEAN FOR COMMISSIONER
Some of His Good Government Friends
Pushing Him Forward

Rev. c. C. Mclean is now prospective
candidate for police commissioner. to
succeed Guy c. Barham, who resigned
some days ago.
Last Tuesday. when the police COM
mission attempted to hold a meeting, but
failed for want of a quorum, DR.. Mclean
was present, and Chief Glass, espying
him, ventured the remark in jest that
there ought to be a preacher on the
commission" There was a wealth of
hidden meaning in the words, apparent
ly idly spoken, but DIR. Mclean was
equal to the occasion. He retorted:
"All right. gentlemen; just consider

The matter has been taken UP by some

which will soon be in abundant evidence,
will speak for itself and reflect credit on
the taste of the judges as well as on the
skill of the artist.
Among the rejected designs are some
that embody splendid ideas artistically
executed, and it was a matter of regret
with the committee that 1t could not
accept more than one. Many people have
asked to be permitted to see the designs.
