LARGE CROWD COMING
THRONGS OF ENDEAVOR EX-
CURSIONISTS ARRIVE
Taking Advantage of the Low Rail
road Rates-The Regular Del
egations Due Today

By thousands the people are flockins
into Southern California and yesterday
began one of the largest visitations of
Eastern tourists known to Los Angeles
for years. In addition to the regular
train at $3.50 a. m, two specials ar
afternoon, all crowded with Eastern
people who have taken advantage of
the special excursion rates offered by
the railroads to the Christian Endeavor
convention. There were few members
of this organization among the arrivals
yesterday, all but seven came as tour
lists and are ticketed only to this
place. AS is generally the rule, the con-
vention has been made the base for the
low rates, but every body that has de-
sired to come has been given the same
special rate, and as result recruits
from all ections have come to swell the
crowd. Everybody will remain here
several days at least, and as other
tourists have done before them, many
will become so delighted with the coun-
try that they will remain permanently
ular overland, but this was merely the
forerunner of the hosts that are com
ing. Shortly after 1 o'clock in the after
noon the first special arrived. 1t was
a jolly crowd and everybody was en-
thusiastic over the West in general and
Southern California in particular Iu-
deed, if protestations amount to any
thing, the population of Los Angeles has
already been increased by several hun
dreds. About an hour later the second
section rolled in. with everybody
eager to get off the cars and be
in touch with the beauties that
had been whirling past their gaze
from the train. Various committees
from the general reception committe es
met the trains at the depot, and some
of the local people joined the visitors at
points along the railroad.
The seven Christian Endeavor dele
gates who came continued to San Fran

Submitted to an Operation

City Attorney Dunn yesterday sub
mitted to a surgical operation in an
effort to ascertain the cause of rheuma-
tic trouble, from which he has been a
great sufferer for years past. The seat
of trouble was in the knee joint, and
yesterday Drs. Macgowan, Ainsworth
and Bryant cut down into the member
to see how it looked. They found that
the muscles and ligaments had grown
to the bone in such a manner as to par
TALLY account for the trouble, which was
the result of an old injury. Mr. Dunn
stood the operation very nicely, and last
evening was resting comfortably. The
surgeons anticipate speedy recovery.

Carting Off the Streets

A delegation of property owners called
at the city hall yesterday to protest
against the practice of corporations be-
ing allowed to cart off the founda ton
material of the paved streets, when they
are torn up for repairs, and substitute
ing loose sand. 1t was claimed that this
was largely responsible for the wretched
condition of the principal streets, as the
foundation is destroyed and the first
heavy truck that passes over the place
causes a depression. The matter will
probably be investigated by the board
of public works and the street superin-
