reason, however, for opposing the fur
ther use of the lights was that he be-
lieved the city was not in q position to
stand it financially. The expenditures,
at very close estimate, were running
along very close to the receipts, and in
the event some disaster should happen,
the city would be left without a dollar
to remedy it. He stated that once the
lights were shut off, he thought lnany
business men would be willing to club
together and have lights at private ex-
pense. He would for one. Others OF
the council took the same view as Mr..
Grove; and Mr.. Nolan, who opened the
interesting subject, closed it by saying
he did not think it was necessary to
take any further action. The council
had made its proposition; it was not
accepted; 1T only remained for the
Electric Light Co. to shut off the Iights.
These views seemed to have the ap-
proval of the council and no further ac-
ton was taken.

put upon them. The water commission
was anxious to dispose of part or all of
them, so tl,at there might be more city

To Take Place Tomorrow Night at the Unit
Church. Third and Hill


Church, Third and Hill
The woman in whose honor and for
whose benefit the woman's suffrage
campaign committee will hold the meet
ing at Unity church tomorrow night is
a notable figure in the national life.
Born in Missouri. a state full of the
able to take her position as lawyer and
radical lecturer, and yet hold the re-
gard and pride of her state to a high
degree. She has ever been a heroic
advocate of reform principles without
regard to the popularity of a cause. Now
that the money question is taking front
rank as a party issue, it Is of interest
to remember that Miss Couzins came
to the coast for the Bimetallic league,
and lectured on this subject until Grip
pied with disease.
The interest of all patriots should be
actively enlisted in recognition of the
glorious work done by Miss Couzins'
mother in relief of the wounded soldiers.
She was the only woman wounded dur
ing the late war. A bullet lodged in her
shoulder while she was upon the battle
field comforting the dying and assist
ing the helpless. The people of Los An
geles will have an opportunity to show
their gratitude to the heroism of both
mother and daughter and hear at the
same time Americas greatest woman
platform speaker, Rev. Anna H. Shaw.
The distinguished lecturer and reform
er will arrive in this city from San Fran
cisco tomorrow morning. While here
she will be the guest of Mrs. F. D. Slim
son. The musical features tomorrow
night in charge of Mrs. L. Loeb, are as
follows:
