TROUBLE IN SIGHT
All Is Not Serene in the Health
Department

For the past few days there have been
rumors about the city hall of another up
heaval in the health office Ever since
the arrest Of the street sweeping con-
tractor, Mr.. Hollingsworth. on complaint
sworn to by Health Officer Powers for
violating the dumping ordinance, there
has been talk about councilmen inter-
esting themselves in the matter, and it
is claimed that combination was almost
effected Saturday evening for the re-
moval of DR.. Powers as health officer
and the election of DR.. Harris of Boyle
Heights to the place, but for some reason
the deal was net consummated. Should
this deal so through it would put the
whole matter Of street sweeping in tha
hands CT Councilman Blanchard, chair
man of the board of public works. As
the matter now stands the street sweep
ing contractor. Mr.. Mcclellan, is Mr.
Blanchard's personal appointment, that
place being given him in consideration
for his help in assisting the Democratic
councIlmen to fire the sanitary in

Bunker Hill Day

Today is the one hundred and twenty
second anniversary Of the paradoxical
battle of Bunker Hill, battle in which
the British thrashed those impudent
youngsters, the Americans, andyet these
same Americans arrogated to themselves
the victory, put UP little monument in
commemoration Of the event and a gem
tleman named Webster made very nea t
little speech on the occasion of it's ded-
ication. All this happened over a hun
dred years ago. However few of US have
personal recollections Of the, affair, and
as that other anniversary which means
just as much, the Fourth of July, is
here, no local observance will be made
Of the day. The Sons of the Revolution
were to have had dinner, but even
that seems to have fallen through, and

to our forefathers, will be, not unhon-
ored, but unsung in Los Angeles.

UNCLAIMED DEPOSITS
A Sworn Statement Must Hereafter
Be Issued by Banks

The State Board of Bank Commission
ers has just issued notice to all Stat. /.
banks that in accordance with the act of
the Legislature, all state banks must
hereafter publish a sworn statement of
all unclaimed deposits, and that the
same must be done biennially before
June 18TH
The sworn statement must give the
name of the depositor, last known resi-
dence or postoffice address, whether
alive or dead, the amount of the un-
claimed deposit. and must be signed by
the cashier or secretary of the bank and
acknowledged before notary.
Local bankers think it will be very
difficult to comply with the require.
ments of the act. the more so that in the
notice received from the bank commits
sioners no date is specified to determine
what shall come within the category of
deposits. Then. again,
there is not bank in the state but has
certificates of deposit outstanding, and

Harris is also from the Ninth ward and
partisan of Mr.. Blanchard. At the meet
ing Of the health board Monday it is re-
ported that there was some sharp talk
between Dr. Powers and Inspector Nc
Clellan over the recent appointment by
the former of young man named Sam
Butler to flush culverts, but who Nc
Clelland insisted should sweep the gut
ters, claiming that this work was neces-
sary, and that the contractor was living
up to his contract, as he already had
the six men required on the streets.
Young Butler has resigned. All of the
parties concerned are very reticent when
approached on the subject and declare
that there is nothing in the stories that
the affairs of the department are running
smoothly, and that the best feeling pre-
walls. But the facts do not bear out these
statements There is something in the
wind, and it may come out at any time
The councilmen themselves are divided
on the matter and it is just possible that
some OF them may tell the whole story
In the council last Monday, when there
was disposition to deny the request of
Councilman Mathuss for the use of the
chain gang in his ward, that gentleman
very emphatically asserted that he in
tended to have it, and told his colleagues
in open council that he could not see why
they were fighting him on the PROPOSE
ton. He further told them that if they
persisted in their opposition he would
"tell the whole inside story" whatever
that was. The threat had the desired
effect. Mr.. Mathuss got the chain gang,
and peace reigned. The inside story was
not told and the public is still in the dark.

FOURTH OF JULY
The Street Parade-Colored Citizens
Historic Float

Grand Marshal Covarrubiae Of the
Fourth Of July committee has issued in
vitations to fifty gentlemen, residents of
this city, whom he earnestly desires to
have cooperate with him in perfecting
the details of the street pageant now un-
der consideration.
Special invitations have been ad-
dressed to the Jonathan club, Los An
geles Athletic and Jeffersonian clubs
requesting those organizations to par
ticipate in the parade on July 5th.
AS arranged, the street parade will
start at 10 a. m. and dieband at IL M.
to the end that it may in no way conflict
with the Bryan reception. There will
be a division devoted entirely to trade
displays, and it is the desire of the COM
mittee that this division be fully repre-
sentative of the various mercantile and
mechanical interests peculiar to this
city and county. The expense of such a
display will be in no sense heavy, as the
rule established by the committee limits
the decorations to the national colors,
and the various combinations Of the
same.
In San Diego, where the conditions Of
the celebration of Independence day are
very similar to those prevailing in this
city, the business men and mechanics
have perfected arrangements to march
in the street parade, SO that the fact may
be made manifest that the spirit of
patriotism is neither dead nor sleeping.
The same results, the committee
think, can be reached in this city, as
the line Of march will be short and the
time consumed less than two hours II
the various military, civic, mechanical
and trade organizations will cooperate
with the committee an outpouring COM
mensurate with the spirit of the day will
Of necessity be the result
The colored citizens have taken q
lead in this direction, as the following
notice bears testimony. A copy has been
mailed to each citizen or member of the
various organizations, and is meeting
with hearty response:
Dear Sir: You have been elected a men,
ber of the Fourth of July committee that
has in hand the arrangements for the col
ored citizens display in the Fourth of July
demonstration. We have decided to place
in our display a float representing one of
our race who was the first American to
shed blood in defense of this country's in
dependence, also a horsemen and citizens
brigade. Believing that such display
will do us national honor, we feel that all
race men will join us in this. The COM
1nittee will meet Thursday, June 17th at
noon, at S2Ola South Main street, Eagle
office. Hoping to have your earnest CO.
operation, we are yours truly,

propriate to fitting celebration.

Fish for the Parks

The park commissioners have been
notified by W. r. Stearns, United States
deputy fish commissioner. that he will
have several thousand black bass to turn
over to them this morning. The fish will
arrive at the Arcade depot this morning
and they will be at once placed in the
lake at Echo park. 1t is expected that
the bass will clear out the carp in this
lake, as they have done at Westlake.
By experience the commissioners have
learned that the latter fish is anything
but desirable, and they will try to get
them out of all the lakes. The bass have
only been in Westlake park two or three
years, but they have increased at rapid
rate and some have been taken weighing
as much as three pounds.

Effect Of the Bench Show

There has been a large increase in the
interest felt in canine pets during the
present year, undoubtedly one of the
effects of the bench show. Up to date
the city tax and license collector has is
sued GIG dog tags as against 331 up to
the same date last year. Each owner
on getting tag, must give the name and
description Of the prospective wearer of
the brass ornament. Among these names
are all the common dog names over and
over; there are McKinleys and Bryans.
Corbetts and Fitzes, while stage celeb
rites and most other celebrities furnish
a striking nomenclature for the lovers
of the dogs.
