IMMIGRATION FALLS.
Decrease in Numb,r of Foreigners
Coming to This Country.

Washington, ID. c., Sept 2.-The figures re-
lating to immigration for the month of July
show total immigration in the United States
Of Il.755. against q, li6 for the corresponding
month last year.
This decrease lis considered rather remark
abe, in view of the stimulus in business con-
ditions in the United States during the past
few months experience having demonstrated
that the tide of immigration follows closely
the opportunities which exist here for those
seeking better conditions. During the past
few years OF depression immigration steadily
decreased. while during this latest year the
total was less than the number which came in
q single year from Germany alone.

The Mount Vernon is near the Green

Jt is opened by three tunnels; 600 tons Of

THE BoULEvARDs
Progress All Along the Line-New
Work Crystallizing

Boulevards are beginning to be con-
tegious. Judge Silent said yesterday a
movement is on foot for a boulevard
from the end of Figueroa on Pearl street
extending to Griffith avenue and Elysian
park. Some of the property-owners will
donate 100 feet of property on each side
making a 200 foot boulevard.
Judge Silent believes If the proper
committee will take this In hand it may
be pushed right through. Such men as H.
Jevne, Mr.. Wiltshire and II. O'Melveny
would be host in themselves for the
work.
Mr. Jevne, who was seen in regard to
this proposed boulevard later, Is great
ly in favor of it, and is willing to act on
a committee though he has no leisure
for the craftsmanship
The Pasadena boulevard is beginning
to crystalize. Fred Eaton, H, Hawgood
ard Gervaise Purcell have been asked
to constitute a committee of engineers
for the purpose of outlining the differ
ent routes, at least half a dozen Of
which have been discussed.
An effort is being made to see how
much boulevard can be constructed by
local interest and pride, which will save
greatly in the construction.
The South Pasadena gift was bril-
liant example set for other towns to fol-
low, and has suggested much for the
future.
One party, who does not want his
name mentioned, has offered the right
of way and so per cent of the cost of a
half mile of boulevard through his prop
erty.
The committee feel greatly encouraged
at the interest the people are taking in
this work. No one had thought of TAX
ing in the Eagle Rock route until sug-
gested by Andrew Glassell with the ad
vartages it offers.
The work at Elysian park progresses:
twenty-seven men were taken on yester-
day, making 2SS men now employed.
Almost two miles of the boulevard is
now completed. Applications for work
still continue, and the need for funds is
great. 1t is hoped the sum will be
swelled to $4,000 by the end of this
week

A HEADLESS QUEEN
Mrs. Fry Imagines Queer Things
About Herself

Mrs. Lille Fry, who lives at 619 West
Twenty fifth st.. appeared before Judge
Yorke yesterday, and was examined as
to her mental condition. She was COM
mtted to the Highlands Insane asylum.
Mrs. Fry was addicted to the excessive
use OF alcoholic stimulants, which is
probably responsible for her present
condition. In court queer story of her
actions was told yesterday morning. She
is at times devotedly religious and will
kneel down in the street or wherever she
may happen to be and pray for hours at
a time If molested, however, during her
season of prayer, she will become in
sanely violent.
Among other things she sometimes
imagnes that her head has taken its
departure from the body and wanders
around through space all by itself. At
other times she thinks that she is queen,
who has been sent to rule all the inhabi-
tants of this earth, and she will sit on
her imaginary throne and direct those
around her whom she considers as sub
jects in a truly queenly manner.

a CONSTABLE'S SUIT
An Officer Wanted $133 for Five
pays' Work

An interesting suit to the taxpayers of
this city which has been in court for a
long time was disposed Of yesterday.
1t was one of those constable cases
which have bobbed up so often of late
in the courts and dates back to the days
when the consta bles and justices of
the peace used to make a fat profit out
Of the tramp business.
Lester Rogers served the city in the
capacity of a constable previous to 1895.
His term was to have expired at that
date but for some reason he was al
lowed to continue in Office five days over
time.
Rogers must have done some lively
rustling during those five days. At any
rate he brought in a bill against the
county for $133, which he claimed had
been earned in fees.
Now the law provided liberal fee for
every tramp arrested, but consta BILE 5
