VISIT OF INSPECTION
Health officials Look After Diaries,
Slaughter Houses and Kennels

A tour Of inspection Of the various
dairies and abbatoirs in the north and
northwestern sections of the city and
suburbs was yesterday morning made
by the board Of health accompanied by
Health officer Powers and Clerk Reed.
As the day was holiday and the pres
ence in the office of the health officer and
his assistant was not required, it was
thought that the time could not be put
in to better advantage than in looking
after the handlers of milk and meat
Starting from the city hall, first of all
the dairies in the northwest section were
visited and found to be in generally a
good condition, vastly improved from
that found upon previous visits.
Thence the road was taken to the slaugh-
ter houses Of Glass & Sentous on the San
Fernando road and Charles Gassen, in
a canyon near by. Petersen's fertilizer
factory was also visited. ALL were found
in fair condition, although the odor of
"attar of roses" which hung about the
dead horse" factory was almost over
powering.
The Highland park kennels, situated
between the city limits and Garvanza,
were also visited. Here about fifty dogs
of all degrees are kept by man named
Ohmeyer. against whom several of the
neighbors have entered complaint to the
health office on sanitary grounds. A
thorough inspection of the kennels was
made, but no expression of opinion
vouchsafed by the sanitarians as to their
conclusions. From this point the horses
heads were turned homeward and the
BOARD devoted the rest of the day to the
formulation of its report, which will be
presented to the council at today's meet
ing.

Of this part Of the program and intro
duced the speakers NJ. M. McGlynn,
representing the Los Angeles trades
unions, spoke for fifteen minutes, taking
for his subject the day itself. He gave
an interesting history of Labor day. tell
ing how it had first been recognized in
nearly all the states and was made by
them holiday. He mentioned the cf-
forts through several sessions Of con-
gress to have the day given national rec
ognition and how these efforts had been
successful in 1894, mainly through the
efforts Of Congressman Amos Cum
mings Of New York and Senator Kyle Of
North Dakota. The speaker pictured
what was taking place all over the coun

ing people. He also touched upon the
advancement Of the cause Of organ
lied labor and pointed to the progress
made in the past half dozen years. In
closing he made an earnest appeal for
financial aid for the striking miners In
the eastern coal regions.
Job Hartman, representing the Social
Democracy, was the next speaker. He
took advantage of the occasion to ex-
plain just what was intended and hoped
for by the promoters of this old move
ment under a new name. To that end
he took up portions Of the Social Democ-
racy platform. most Of which was pre-
pared by Eugene v. Debs, and explained
such portions of 1t as were likely to
cause dispute as to what was intended
and meant by 1t. He gave numerous ex-
amples wherein the cooperative prin-
ciple contained in that platform had
been successful on small scale. He
also mentioned other places where in his
opinion cooperation could be success
fully tried. He then took up the subject
Of cooperation generally and gave his
views Of the benefits from its universal
adoption to the working classes.
The balance Of the day after the
speaking was devoted in the pavilion to
dancing, on the pier and aboard the
schooner to fishing, while scores of per-
sons to whom such means of enjoyment
offered no charm bathed in the surf,
took boat rides in the inner bay OF
amused themselves as they pleased. The
earlier trains to the city were sent in al
most empty and it was not until after
dark that the last of the picnickers
started for home.
Not content with having provided
their friends with a whole day of amuse-
ment and enjoyment at Terminal island.
the Labor day committee closed the day
with grand masquerade ball at Turner
hall last night. The preparations for this
were made by special committee COM
posed of E. H. Lloyd. w. r. Kingston
and H. E. Martens.
The success of the picnic was but re-
peated in the success of the ball, as it
was attended by several hundred
couples, many of whom had danced all
afternoon at the island. 1t was almost
time for some of the participants to
again seek their work this morning be-
fore the dancing was concluded.

FRANCES CURIOSITY
WANTED TO KNOW HOW CAR
BOLIC ACID TASTED
She Knows Now, and Will Remember
Also Draughts Of Sweet Oil and
Melted Lard

Curiosity impelled little Frances Mas
sey, II years Of age, to drink draught
from bottle containing carbolic acid
yesterday morning, just ito see how it
would TASTE" Luckily she found the
poison not to her taste and spit the stuff
out before any of it entered her stomach.
Little Frances is the daughter Of Mrs.
Mary Massey, widow living at 544
South Flower street. Recently the
mother has suffered from toothache and
purchased vial containing carbolc
acid and which she used with cotton in.
the painful molar. When she got the
poison she explained the character of ii
to her two daughters and warned them
to leave it alone. After this she never
imagined that there was any danger of
either Of them touching it and left the
bottle on stand in her room.
Yesterday morning while Mrs. Massey
was working in distant part of the
building she heard her daughter Frances
screaming violently. At first she sup
posed that 1t was just little trouble
between the two children, but when the
screaming kept up she went to see what
was the matter. When she reached the
scene the older daughter, who was hold
ing the other in her arms, cried out:
"Oh, mamma, mamma, Frances has
taken the carbolic acid. She's sure to
die"
Frances was splitting and eputterins
with all her might AS soon as the
mother knew what was the matter she
hurried to the drug store at the corner
OF Flower and Sixth streets and got a
quantity of sweet oil with which she
fastened back to the house, only half a
block away. From the drug store word
was telephoned for DR.. Davisson to come
Immediately.
When she got back to the house. Mrs
Massey began pouring the sweet oil
down the little girls throat. In addi-
tion to this she melted lard, which the
child swallowed. The physician soon
arrived and or. making an examination
Of Frances throat found that she had
not swallowed any of the carbolic acid.
although the roof Of her mouth and
tongue were badly burned.
By this time the girl had begun to re-
cover so that she could talk. When ask
ed how she happened to take carbolic
acid, she answered: well, just wanted
to swallow a little Of 1t to see how it
would taste. but it burnt so awfully that
1 spit it right out and didn't swallow
any"
DIR. Davisson did what he could to
make his patient comfortable and then
left, as her condition was not at all dan
gerous. Little Frances curiosity came
so near costing her her life that ~ ;e not
likely she will repeat the experience.
