PRINCIPALS ELECTED
CAUSES THE BOARD OF EDUCA-
TIoN MUCH TROUBLE
Mr. Tritt Succeeds Mrs. Hanchette;
Miss Smith Succeeds Tritt and
Miss Ramsdell Miss Smith

At the adjourned session Of the city board
of education, held yesterday afternoon at
o'clock, w. w. Tritt was elected to the
principalship of the Ninth-street school,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Mrs. Hanchette. This much of the report
of the teachers committee was sustained.
Their recommendations as to the filling of
the Amelia-street school principaship,
however fell down, as on Monday even
ing. The committee proposed placing Miss
Vesta Olmstead in the position. and the
opposition refused to vote for her, on the
ground that she was too recently employed
as teacher to be deserving of the honor.
They maintained their position despite the
argument that Miss Olmstead had once
taught in the Los Angeles schools for six
years, five years of which time she was
principal of some of the largest buildings
In the city.
AS at the regular meeting, the, matter
was discussed until worn threadbare. the
motion to confirm the appointment finally
being lost by a tie vote. The teachers
committee were then allowed five minutes
In which to prepare a new recommendation
with the result that Miss Estelle B. Smith
of the Sand-street school was nominated
to fill the Amelia street school principal
ship, and Miss Mary A. Ramsdell to sue
ceed Miss Smith as principal of the Sand.
street school, The board voted unanimous
ly for their election.
Other sections of the teachers commit.
tee report as follows, were adopted after
due consideration, discussion, argument
and debate:
1--WE recommend that this board AK the
limit for the number Of deaf children
whose accommodation shall be provided
for in the school for the deaf children dur.
Ing the present year at twenty-four; and
that the tuition of nonresident deaf child
dren be fixed at IS per month, payable

1--WE recommend that In deciding the
credit to be given for experience in teach
ing outside Of Los Angeles city, half time
shall be allowed for such experience. the
time to be determined by years Of not less
than eight months each: additional time
In any one year not to be counted.
I'VE recommend that Mrs. Christine
Penson. Miss r. N. Parsons, Alice NJ
Fanna and Stella Fndicott be placed on

SOAPS HARD BATTLE
Wins First Blood by Getting Two
Thirds Petition

In behalf of the much-abused soap fac
tory on East First street a large number of
people yesterday petitoned the fire COM
missioners to grant the supporters of the
institution a building permit. The petit
TONERS set forth that they have long been
acquainted with both the factory and Its
managers and have never known either to
smell bad as certain over-nice protestants
have alleged.
Isadore Dockweiler was present at the
meeting and made quite speech in de-
fense of what should obviously be one OF
Los Angeles sweetest-scented enterprises
He granted that the place burned down
might have become slightly odoriferous in
consequence of Its age and general debil-
ity, but drew a most glowing picture of
the marble walls. the alabaster floors and
the delicate china watts which are to con-
stitute the new factory, the whole to be
surrounded by delicately-perfumed atmos-
phere.
His argument won favor from the COM
mission and the petition was referred to
the fire chief with power to act.

its pract.cability on the ground that 1t has
long since been adopted by some of the
largest cities in the east, among them
Philadelphia.
Chief Glass expressed himself az of the
opinion that the combination building pre-
posed or contemplated would require prob
ably twenty feet more frontage than the
fire station alone would require, and IN an
swer to inquiries propounded he stated
that buildings Of this character would be
desirable in the vicinity of the Harper
tract, probably on Adams and Hoover, at
Adams and Central avenue, on Boyle
Heights and near West First and Belmont
avenue.
The advantages Of such a combinat ton
were mentioned as being principally in
point of economy. A saving of number
of telephones would be accomplished, and
a great saving in the cost of construction.
The two departments would be entirely
separated, so far as rooms were concerned,
but only one roof and one enclosure would
be required.
The fire commission fought shy Of the
proposition at first on the theory that the
police department was merely seeking 70
secure some new facilities without any
expense Finally it developed that the
police department fully expected to bear
its portion of the expense and the situa-
tion quickly changed. Fire Commissioner
Wells made a motion that it Is the sense of
this beard that a combination of police
and fire station is desirable as outlined by
the police commissioners
A subsequent motion authorized the ap-
pointment of a committee Of three to con-
fer with the police commission committee
the joint committee to decide en- the loca-
tions Of the combination stations and re-
port the same to council with recommenda-
tions that In the advertisements for BIDS,
such building be provided for. Messrs.
Kuhrts, Wells and Chief Moore were ap-
pointed.

Thousands havo tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some efficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists, of IS Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason SO many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, etc., never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
freckles, pimplcs, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness, eruptions, and discolorations Of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,

The Mystery Grows,
Salem Oil Subjected to Sc
vereSt Tests.
1t Is Pure Quality of Refined Illuminat-
ing Oil.

The contractors Darr & Clark went
TO work again today on the well that
Is yielding flow OF pure petroleum on
the premises OF ]. G.. Barr of this city.
They found a sheet OF oil on the
water, though 1t was nearly absorbed
by lot OF charcoal that had been put
into the well.
1t is their intention to thoroughly
clean the we'll and then allow a lot OF
new oil to accumulate with the water
that flows in and have the product
thoroughly tested by a disinterested
expert. Mr.. Darr says there is a we'll
In Yew Park that has been unfit 70
use since years on account of oil.
WAS 1T LOADED?
The oil product of this we'll is so re.
markably like refined oil that all who
see the sample at THE JOURNAL Of
flee declare that IL is manufactured
stuff and was poured into the we'll.
But examination discloses that this
and cemented over twelve feet from
the bottom and no oil could have
been got through except down
the pump and there were no signs
that it had been tampered with. The
we'll Is only 20 feet deep and oil was
noticed In it last winter. The owner
declares that it was not tampered
with.
THE OIL TESTED.
w. L. West, chief engineer at the
Salem electric light plant, procured
a bottle Of the oil last night and
subjected 1t to severe tests.
He applied the acid test and the
boiling test. The acid test disclosed
no vegetable or animal matter but
that it is almost pure petroleum
When subjected to severe heat it gave
off no gases and showed that it stood
high degree Of heat without flash or
explosion. Put into a lamp it burns
we'll and there is no q uestion as to its
being a high grade OF Illuminating
oil. 1t Is proposed after further
Investigation TO drill for the sourceQof
this mineral oil. But that is in the
future.

The State Fair.
A Correct Schedule ofAdmis|
sion Charges.
All indications Point to the Most
Successful Fair in Years.

As the rates of admission To the
State Fair haye been published 10 sew
eral OF the local papers and given err
roneOusly each time, especial attention
is called TO the following sched.
ule, which THE JOURNAL has procured
from Secretary 9. d. Gabrlelson, and
which is therefore correct:
Dag tlcRet for men. SOC.
Day ticket for women, 25c.
Season ticket for men $3.50.
Season ticket for women sl.75.
Girls and boys under 10 years, free.
Evening ticket. after @. D. m. 25.
Campers ticket, special rates, on ap-
plecation.
The grand stand Is free to both
ladies and gentlemen, there being no
charge for admission to any part Of
the grounds after the gate is passed.
A season ticket is equivalent to a
free pass, good at all times during the
fair, and entities the holder TO pass
out and in at will. A day ticket en-
titles the holder to stay also during
the evening, No pass checks will be
given, however, and persons passing
out through the gate will be under
the necessity OF paying the regular
fee for re-admission, unless provided
with season tickets.
Every indication points to the most
cessful fair that has been held In
many years. Exhibitors spaces are
practically all engaged, and conses :
siOns have been sold until Secretary
Gabrielson says that any later appli-
cants will haye to be located out IN
the woods somewhere. The prospect
for good speed program is particu-
larly bright, as all Of the fast classes
are already filled.
1t Is hoped by the officers OF the
association that the gentlemen who
are to start out tomorrow morning
for the purpose of selling season
tickets will meet with substantial
encouragement.
While the fair Is In no sense prop
erly Salem institution, yet Salem
receives much pecunlary benefit
therefrom, and should do everything
In her power to add to the brilliant
success which seems already assured.
