He will string the wires temporarily on
the poles of the Traction company and
will be ready to light the city hall by
next Monday.
Wright yesterday filed an official no.
tice to the council that he is the owner
of the poles and wires placed in opera
tion by It. e. Peck in the southwestern
part of the city.
The city's lease upon the Third street
engine house expires in a few weeks.
The council advertised for a site for q
new location short time ago, which
called for tenders to be opened last
Monday. Not a bid was received, and a
new advertisement will have to be
placed The situation, which is a very
serious one, will be before the board of
fire commissioners this morning.
Some one has unearthed the fact that
the council has full power to declare a
legal holiday throughout the city, or
else that power was Illegally usurped
last year when, acting upon a request
from the Council of Labor national
Labor day was declared holiday. The
matter is being generally very unfavor-
ably commented upon just at this time,
when the council has refused point
blank to declare half holiday today,
the most important day of the Fiesta.
Walter +. Parker, the mayors secre-
tary. returned yesterday from ten
days business trip to the north.
For the rest of the week there will
only be half business days at the city

place, as established by said city, in
time to vote.
That in the said Rosedale precinct
there We're cast at the said election 1874
votes, while at the said Pico Heights
precinct there were cast 266 votes. That
by reason of the delay caused by so
many votes being polled at each of said
precincts by the consolidation of pre-
Cincts, as above set forth. and the con-
fusion resulting therefrom, many voters
were prevented from voting. That prior
to the establishment of said precincts,
boundaries or polling places, 1t was
agreed between the said city and those
in favor of annexation, that in consid-
Grafton of the calling of said election
the said anneXationists would defray all
expenses of said election incurred in
said territory SO proposed to be annex
ed; and under the guise of curtailing the
said expenses of said anneXationists,
but in reality. to prevent full and fair
expression at the polls of the sentiment
OF the people residing therein, the said
precinct.
That at the said Rosedale precinct the
anneXa tionstS employed a constable
to stand within the enclosure at the
polling place. and the annexationists
and the election board directed the con-
stable to remove all challengers from
the polls. and to drive them away there
FROM and keep them away, and that in
pursuance of said instructions the said
constable did put out and drive away
from the said pol!ing-place the chal-
lenger SO stationed there by the oppo-
nentS of annexation, and kept him away
and would not and did not allow the said
opponents of annexation to have a chal-
lenger at said polls. and that the said
| constable remained at the said polls and
within said enclosure throughout the
entire day. That a said Pico Heights
precinct the polls were closed by the
said election officers before o'clock,
and many voters We're there at the time
of closing said polls waiting to deposit
their ballots, but were fraudulently pre-
vented from so doing by reason of the
closing of said polls. prior to the time
fixed for closing the same and. if allow
ed to vote, said electors and each of them
would have voted against annexation.
That at each of said polling places in
the said outlying territory, herein men
toned, many persons voted on certifi-
Gates issued by the county clerk within
fifteen days prior to said election, and
that said officers of election allowed
the said votes to be cast and counted in
violation of law. That said officers OF
election failed to take up and return the
said certificates, but returned them to-
the parties voting thereon.
That at said Rosedale precinct dep
uty county clerk, with certificates signed
and stamped in blank, registered names
and issued said certificates to all of
those who wished to vote in favor of
annexation. and a large number voted

in favor Of annexation upon said certifl-
Gates so fraudulently and illegally is
sued. That one man whose name was
upon the Great Register of Orange
county. without having first having OBJ
tanned cancellation from said Orange
county, re-registered before the said
deputy county clerk and voted in favor
of said annexation.
That at the said Pico Heights polling
place the said polls were not opened by
the said election board until long after
sunrise, and a large number of voters
who We're there demanding to vote and
would have voted against annexation
were compelled to leave and go to work
without voting and were unable to and
did not return and the said votes We're
not cast.
That at said Rosedale precinct, one of
the Judges of election assisted in open
ing the polls, then went away from the
polls and remained away continuously
thereafter until 10 o'clock, when he re-
turned so gloriously intoxicated that
he was unable to perform his duties as
Judge of said election. That While Try
ing to perform the duties of his office he
allowed many Illegal votes to be cast
in favor of annexation until about :
o'clock. when he went away from said
polls and remained away continuously
thereafter, and no other judge was ap-
pointed in his place.
That neither at the opening of said
polls nor thereafter on the said day OF
said election were four printed copies
of the Great Register of the county, or
any greater number than Two copies
posted in separate or convenient or any
places at said polls, and the copies so
nlaced as aforesaid We're torn and mutt
lated to great extent during said cleo
tion day
That during the time of voting at SAID
election certain individuals who were
favorable to the plan of annexation took
position in the vicinity of the polling
place at a distance less than 100 hum
dred feet therefrom in violation of law
and importuned voters as to the man
ner of their voting, and otherwise in
terfered with the lawful proceeding of
said election.
That other individuals connived with
certain clerks who were engaged in con-
Quoting the proceedings at said polling
places, for the purpose of Influencing
voters from casting their ballots against
said annexation by delaying the cast
ing of their ballots That said delay was
accomplished by said clerks, pretend
ing to be unaNe to find the name of said
voters on the great register, until time
was called and said voters were unable
| to cast their votes.
For the reasons above the relator al
leges several hundred voters. enough to
have reversed the result of the election,
were unable to cast their ballots, and he
therefore asks that the election be de-
clared null and void and be set aside.

THE LIVING CHRIST

To Prof. George ID. Heron, the John the
Baptist of Applied Christianity.
The Son of Man appears once more
The Christ who taught in Gallilee
Proclaims his truth on every shore
And walks the waves OF every sea;
Unsullied by the taint of bribes
He challenges the proud and great,
Reh,lking Pharisees and scribes
Who guard the doors of church and
state.
He comes in signs. He comes in clouds"
Whose hidden lghtnings bide their time;
He wanders homeless in the crowds
That Mammon drives to want and crime;
see him stripped and bleeding lie
Beside the road to Jericho,
Where lordly bishops pass Him by,
AS in the ages long ago.
o! Christ, the tender. loving one
In whom all deathless graces blend
The goal to which the cycles run
In spiral paths to one vast end;
TO mingle with Mother Breast.
ALI tongues and tribes and nations yearn
For what is found in Thee expressed.
o.. constant. patient Heart of Life,
Whose warm pulse beats for all the
zones,
While men still waste their powers in strife
For gods of gold and petty thrones
hear Thy voice amidst the roar
OF trade and war on land and sea-
Repeat this message DER and Ger:
'"Take up the cross and follow me-"
see Thee smitten by Thy foes
In courts of law and noisy marts,
While virtue from Thy presence flows
In healing streams to wounded hearts;
I see a drowsy priesthood-met
In solemn form to watch and pray
Who slumber while in bloody sweat
Their Master waits the dawn of day.
see those sad. reprovinG eyes
Still search the cringing Peters through.
And One whom PLATE justifes
Rejected by the church anew.
Again the robber is released,
The saint to crucifiXion doomed,
Again the Caesar and the priest
Conspire to keep the Lord entombed.
Again the surplice hangs revealed
Behind the warriors cassocked head,
Again the sepulchre is sealed
Where justice Sleeps but is not dead;
But who can stay the awful birth
OF Truth from out the age-long night?
Though all the armies of the earth
Their legions hurl against the Light.
As rock-mailed shores submissive throw
Their arTors down upon the strand,
And towering submits plumed with snow
Obey at last the tides command.
So Thou O Christ! with love sublime
Shalt draw all races to Thy breast
And all the warning things of Time
Shall turn to Thee at last for rest

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS NAME
II Is Needed Before the Complaint Can
Be Filed
Ballot Box Should Be Overturned--Wih
the Police Board At the City Hall

The legal proceedings to set aside the
result of the recent annexation election
are completed and were yesterday for
warded to Sacramento for the sigma
ture of Attorney General Fitzgerald
before being filed. The case is entitled
The People of the State of California,
plaintiff, VS.. the City Of Los Angeles,
and the complaint alleges among other
things that the recent election was lille
gal because the petition which is a part
Of the official call, was not signed by
one-fifth of the qualified electors of
the city Of Los Angeles, as shown by
vote cast at the last municipal election
held therein next preceding such receipt
Of such petition. That a large number
to-wit, about 600 of the signers of said
petition, were not qualified electors of
the said city of Los Angeles at the time
Of signing said petition and their names
do not now, and did not then, appear
upon the Great Register of said county.
That the city council caused an at
tempted notice to be given of such cleo
tion by the publication of the notice
thereof. That said notice was defective
and uncertain and illegal in that the
description in it of the proposed an
nexed territory was defective and in
sufficient in the same manner as in the
said alleged petition, as shown in para
graph II hereof. That because of said
defective and insufficient notice and
said defective description of territory,
the electors of the said city of Los An
geles and of said proposed annexed ter
rttory, were not informed as to the
boundaries of said territory proposed
to be annexed to said city
That said notice was attempted to be
published in the publication known as
the University Courier. That said pub
.lication, to-wit, the University Cour-
Ter. is not a newspaper. That said
University Courier is not printed and
published outside of the city of Los An
ee1es That no publication of said no.
fice was made in any newspaper pub
lished in the county of Los Angeles
outside of the city of Los An
relies and that by reason of the lack of
said publication the electors of said
Proposed annexed territory were not
6cient notice thereof was given.
That the territory attempted to be
described in said petition and notice,
as set out In paragraphs I and III here
,of. is Of an irregular shape and com
uosed Of widely scattered tracts not
contiguous to each other, and connect
ed with each other by long and rib
hon-like strip of fifty feet only in width
and one hundred and fifty rods, more
Ior less, in length and that such irreg-
nIar and scattered pieces of land were
thus combined into whole for the pur-
nose of compelling the section in which
your relator resides to become a part

3he wishes of the majority of the elect
