TAKES NOW DUE
Money Needed to Replenish the City
Treasury

Collections of the first installment of
taxes on real and personal property be-
gan yesterday, that installment, accord
ing to law, becoming due October A.
From now until November 26 the COL
lectionS will continue, and after that
date all unpaid tax bills will become de-
linquent.
For more than two months several Of
the funds provided for in the appropria-
ton ordinance have been empty and all
demands against them have had to be
registered. 1t will take several weeks
to cancel these registrations, as the first
payments of taxes will be slow.
Some of the largest taxpayers make it
a rule to defer paying their taxes until
shortly before the lists are closed, claim
ing that by so doing they have the use
Of their money just that much longer.
In the report Of the city council proceed
ings in another column will be found a

WANTED TO SHOOT AN OFFICER
Vincente Longo Got Drunk and Made
Things Lively

Vincente Longo appeared before JUS
tice Morrison yesterday morning to eX-
plain why he had brandished his gun so
freely in an Alameda street saloon Sun
day night. Longo wasn't just sure him
self why he had done so, and decided
not to try TO explain the matter to the
court, but pleaded guilty to the charge
of carrying a concealed weapon, and
will be sentenced today. The fellow
got drunk, presumably on imported.
wl1lsky-because the Los Angeles sa-
looms are closed on Sunday-and ende
up in row in the saloon. Police Officer
Roller came in and was about to place
Longo under arrest when the latter
pulled a revolver and tried to get shot
at the policeman. The gun was grabbed,
and in the scuffle which ensued it
was broken. At the police station a
charge of assault with deadly weapon
was placed against the prisoner, but yes
terday this was changed. to carrying a
concealed weapon.

Ter and Rosso, needless to say, have a
pull. Wilson was helped to his place
by Councilman Blanchard, Randolph's
appointment is credited to Mayor Sny-
DER, and SO it goes. Those with "in-
flooence" got there. Whether the po-
lice department can be kept up to the
required standard OF efficiency by these
methods remains a matter of opinion.
Another point in connection with the
availability of the department and its
usefulness to the taxpayers as a means
Of protection may be mentioned. While
the commissioners have been quibbling
formance of their duties as policemen
ment of men trife under or over the
age limit they have apparently over
looked the deadwood in the force. There
are at least five or six officers who, while
they have done good and efficient work,
are getting too old. and should really be
on the police pension list.
Four members of the force are drawing
pensions from the government on ac-
count of alleged physical disabilities in
CURED during the civil war. Whether
this disability interferes with the per-
formance of their duties as policemen is
or not, it is not considered by the
commission. Two of the government
pensioners are receiving Sc each per
month, another gets SS and the fourth
$17. Just who these men are can be as
certaired by the commission. with ease
If it cares to know.
These are but few Of the facts. A
great effort has been made to increase
the force, put in new signal system,
get modern patrol wagons and young
horses and in every way make the de-
partment adequate in size and efficiency.
At present Los Angeles has one policeman
to each two square miles of territory.
Whether the commissioners think that
they are cutting much ice" or evolving
metropolitan force by making regula-
tions, only to break them, in pretending
that politics cuts no figure with them,
when all appointments hirge on influ
ence or pull, in turning down young a nd
capable men and retaining others too
old for efficient service, is conundrum.
Maybe they don't think

ORPHEUM.-The usual crowded au-
dience greeted the change of bill at this
house last night. Principal among the
new turns was George Evans, '"The

he was received. He is possessed Of a
phenomenal tenor voice and had. plenty
of catchy coon songs as we'll as ballad

The other new turn included the

Barton and Ashley, and McCarty and

ard Van Auken, McPhee and Hill re-

IMMANUEL'S PASTOR
DR.. Walker Of Baltimore to Succeed
DR.. Chichester

A meeting of the committee appointed
to select a new pastor of Emmanuel
Presbyterian church was held yesterday
afternoon. The Rev. DR.. Hugh X.
Walker of Baltimore was unanimously
agreed upon as DR.. Chichester's sue
cessor. This appointment, While it may
be considered final, will be subjected to
the approval of the congregation at a
meeting to be held in the church this
evening. This action will be merely a
matter of form, however, as there is
no doubt that the selection Of the COM
mittee will be approved.
Dr. Walker is pastor of the Central
Presbyterin church Of Baltimore, and
is considered one of the best ministers
in the country. He has already signi-
fed his willingness to accept the call,
and will remove to this city, accompa-
MED by his family.

tanned the Historical society last even-
ing with delightful hospitality. The
early part of the evening was given over
to the reading OF papers and other busi-
ness. DR.. Moody, president of the So
ciety, presiding.
H. d. Barrows opened the informal
program with short biographical
sketch of the late DR.. William f. Edgar,
who was a pioneer, an army doctor, ard
after having been stationed at Forts

went east in 81, established hospital
at Louisville, KY, and, had charge Of
the principal hospitals during the war.
Dr. Edgar spent the last years of his
life in Los Angeles, and in his will left
$4,000 to the Historical society.
Prof. A. E. Yerex read a thoughtful
and scholarly paper on the California
Indians, their origin, myths and ira
ditions. Mr.. Yerex offered several the
ories regarding their origin, one of W hch
was that they were evolved from the
soil, another that they came from Asia,
ETC., all Of which was interesting, and
much of it instructive.
]. M. Quinn, secretary OF the society,
read very entertaining resume of the
pioneer school superintendents of Los
Angeles. Fact and humor were de-
hghtfully interviewer. and some Incl
dents in the history of the early school
boards and teachers were racily and
wittily told. That the school commits
sioners Of 1856 were not unworthy pre-
decessors of the incumbents of today in
some ways may be seen from the fol-
lowing quotation from the records
"Resolved that page of the school
commissioners record be pasted dowr
on page 8. so that the indecorous Ian
guage written therein by the school
commissioners Of 1855 can never again
be read or seen"
Following the papers, a resolution of
respect to the memory of DR.. Edgar was
drafted ard adopted. The following
new members were elected: Mrs. Will
liam F. Edgar, Mrs. Laura E. King
