PATRIOTIC MfXICANS
CELEBRATE THE ANNIVERSARY
OF THEIR INDEPENDENCE
Good Music, Good Speeches and .
Delightful Trip Of the Light.
Fantastic Toe

AS a fitting observance of the eighty
eighth anniversary of the independence OF
Mexico, the Mexican Patriotic assembly Of
Los Angeles last evening gave an entertaln-
ment at Music hall. The sons of Mexico
were very enthusiastic on the occasion and
the hall was crowded to its utmost capac-
ity.
Sr. Guillermo Andrade, local Mexican
consul, gave the assembly formal install
laton in a short address, after which he
introduced Secretary Antonio Flores,
who read the Mexican act of Independence
in a most impressive manner. After se-
lection by the Mexican band, Doctor
Victor Rendon delivered the inaugural dis
course. He proved to be an interesting and
forcible speaker and due appreciation of his
efforts were evinced by frequent rounds
of hearty applause from his audience.
Following Doctor Rendon's address
came most entertaining musical program
including pleasing variety of instrumen-
tai and vocal solos, triOs and chOruses. Sra
Ana House de Hernandez was required to
render an encore of her vocal solo, "Boleroa
and the guitar trio, composed of Srita.
Maud Priest Sr. NJ. Carizosa and Prof.
Arevalo, failed to b. -:.leved from duty ur-
til they also had satisfied the call for a
second number. A chorus of young ladies
and gentlemen pleased the audience i'm
mensely with their rendition of La Golon-
drina."
The only English feature to the program
was the address of Will A. Harris, who
acquitted himself with honors His speech
was devoted largely to a review of the
causes which led to the declaration. of i'm
dependence in Mexico and incidentally Mr..
Harris paid eloquent tribute to the excel
lent qualities and bravery of President
Aguinaldo, Maximllian, President Diaz and
to the beauty of Carmencita, the wife of
President -DiaZ.
Sr. Melquiades Hernandez in bandurria

of the Mexican national hymn completed
the program. Both numbers were very pop

lures can truly be said to have ended, long
before the audience was satisfied

Endorsed. This recommendation was made
In spite of the decision of the fusion COM
the position of district attorney to the Pop
ulists. The resolution went through with
enthusiasm, largely due to statements made
by j. B. Parker, the Populist member OF
the fusion convention. Mr.. Parker stated
that his party did not want the nomination.
Earl Rogers, the clubs president, was
the principal speaker of the evening. He
addressed the club at some length on the
political situation, combining his remarks
principally tot the matter of the supreme
justiceshp. The speaker denounced Nc
Farland and Van Fleet as Southern Pacific
tools, and spoke in the highest terms of the
fusion nominees, Van Dyke of Los Angeles
and Conley of MADEIRA. Each candidate or
the state ticket was then discussed.

NOT UNDER CONTRACT
The City Is Therefore Responsible for
Onlv Eight Hours LabcS

The City Is Therefore Responsible for
Only Eight Hours LabcS
The case of James P. Biggs against the
City of Los Angeles, which resolves itself
into test case of the law which designates
eight hours as day Of labor, came up in
Judge Aliens court yesterday afternoon.
The plaintiffs testimony was introduced,
the aim being to prove that Biggs and
Clark, whose claims are both presented in
the one case, worked from ten to twelve
hours day for long period and under in
structions from the city zantero. They re-
ceived pay for each calendar day, but now
contend they are entitled to a days pay
for each eight hours work done.
After the plaintiff rested, the city's
counsel moved to non-suit the case on the
ground that no contract for overtime work
was ever made with the city and that the
city was not responsible for the zanjero's
action In requiring more than eight hours
labor per diem. Furthermore, that the
plaintiffs were paid for their services on
vouchers presented and receipted by them
monthly, and that any claim they might
have had is now invalid through the opera
ton OF the statute of limitations. The city's
counsel incidentally stated that similar
case, wherein a policemaneued for over
time salary, had failed in the superior
court because it was shown that he did
not perform the extra duty under con-
tract with the city. but merely by direction
of the chief. 1t would therefore seem pos
sible for a city employee to legally refuse
to obey an order of his superior officer
which required him to work more than
eight hours in day.
Counsel for plaintiff stated they were not
at present prepared to meet this argumen
and at their request the case was con-
tinued until one week from today.
