Ii CHEZ NUT TREE
Los Angeles Has the Only Specimen IL
the State

Mrs. N. Spear Of Georgia Bell street pos
sesses genuine curiosity in Chinese nut
tree in full blossom. the only one. SO far as
known, in this country. Four years ago
Mrs. Spear planted the seeds Of twelve
Ii chez nuts, and out Of them one sprouted
and has grown to a small tree. The prob
abilities of the seeds growing are very re-
mote, when 1t is remembered that the nuts
in China are first boiled and then kiln dried,
The II chez nut has been the sacred tree
Of China since the time when the memory
Of man runneth not back" and are all un-
der the control of the priests. They are
made to yield an ecclesiastical revenue,
ard 1t IL to prevent their propagation
among the common people that the nuts
are boiled before drying. The custom Of
distributing them among friends,and pat
rons at the Chinese holiday, New Years,
Is we'll known in this state.
The tree grows scraggly, and unsym-
etrical, and the smooth gray branches
are covered with thorns. The blossom has
a six-leafed white corolla with five-leafed
green calyx that encircles it and pistils
and stamens resembling that Of the apple.
The leaf Is similar to a pear or plume. Mrs.
Spears tree blossomed some months ago,
and bore few nuts, but rough handling
by the curious knocked them off before
they matured. Some of the young trees
were brought from China bya vegetable
gardener of Santa Paula several years ago
and grew for year or two, but died after
frost in the winter. Chinese who learn
Of Mrs. Spears tree are highly pleased
and greet 1t with the enthusiasm due an old
friend.

MUST CUT IT DOWN
Finance Committee Will Today Take
It's Turn at the Annual Budget

Today the annual department estimates
will be formally taken under consideration
by the finance committee of the city coun-
Gil. OF course, the cutting and slashing
process must be INDUCED in, and some of
the department heads who have been fond
ly cherishing hope that their special re-
quests" would run the gauntlet are doomed
to disappointment.
The auditor made number of substantial
reductions in the estimates as submitted
by the officials themselves, and had he
made little stronger guess on the amount,
the board of equalization would cut off the
assessment of property, there would not be
much for the finance committee to do. He
placed the cut in the valuation at $500, 900,
but when the board got through 1t had
chopped off about $3.50, 900. Consequently,
the finance committee, in considering the
budget from the auditors figures and COM
pairing them with cold facts, find they will
be short not far from $4,000. Therefore, this
$1,000 has to be cut from the auditors esti-
mate, which itself was so low that 1t
caused a growl to go around.
The assessment, as established by the
board of equalization, will raise s753, 31 IN
taxes, and the net revenue from other
sources Is estimated at $21S,O27. z.

last evening with representatives of the
Christian Endeavor unions, at the fare
we'll reception given ]. D. Radford previous
to his departure for San Jose. Mr.. Radford

residence here. He has also filed the posi-
ton Of superintendent of Emmanuel Pres
byterian Sunday-school, and the assembly

with flowers and foliage, and excellent mus
ica numbers were rendered by the orches-
ira of the First Congregational church, led
by Prof Meehan, and vocal quartet from
the choir of the First Baptist church. Cur
tbs D. Wilbur acted as chairman OF the
evening and presented Leonard Merrill,
who appeared in behalf of the Christian
Endeavor unions. He spoke appreciattve
ly of Mr.. Radford's efforts in infusing en-
thusiasm and earnestness in the organiza-
ton and the success that had crowned his
labors. Rev. Hugh K. Walker, the pastor
of the church, followed in behalf Of the
SunGay-school.. DR.. Walker testified to the
high Christian character of Mr.. Radford
as business man and his efficiency in
tightening the pastors labors by his work
in the nursery of the church-the Sunday
school. Lastly, Mr.. Radford spoke for
himself, disclaiming credit for much that
had been imputed to him, and said. essen
TALLY, that both union and school had been
f1ourishing organizations before he came,
built up by mutual effort, and would con-
tinue to be so after'he should leave.
After the speeches were over music and
a social hour followed with the serving Of
lemonade and waters.
Mr. Radford has been assistant cashier
CT the National Bank Of California during
his residence in Los Angeles, and goes to

POLICE COMMISSION
Chief Glass Instructed to Report the
Blackburn Matter Next Meeting


Contrary to expectations, there was no
report on Officer Blackburns conduct
placed before the police commission yes
terday. Chief Glass was not present, be-
ing out of the city. The members of the
commission were ccgnizant of the facts
as they appeared In the newspapers, how
ever. and felt that some action should be
taken. Mr.. Preuss therefore moved that
the chief be instructed to report on the
matter at the next meeting, and as a de-
tective has been keeping track of Black
burns movements for some. time 1t is
probable that all the information he mas
gathered will be made public on Monday
next.
The committee will hold special meeting
in police headquarters on Friday after
noon at Mr.. Gibbons suggestion, for the
purpose of considering what recommends
lions should be made to the board of free
holders regarding those sections of the
new charter which shall provide for city
police department and its government
Strangely enough, the police commission
Is the first official body to discover that
such thing as new charter is being con-
sidered That this indifference is proving
serious handicap to the freeholders goes
without saying.
The board was informed that on the
next day after the Stuhr license for sa-
loon at 225 West First street was revoked
for non-payment, the money was paid and
a receipt given, the collector not knowing
Of the revocation In the face of this fact,
the action was reconsidered and the license
re-established.
The following petitions for transfers of
licenses were granted: Stevenson Bros, All

Looking for a Convention Hall

The management of the Burbank the
alter has entered the race to secure the
Republican county convention.
Teh use Of the theater is offered to the
committee for $50 per day, and, as the
convention will, in all probability last a
week. the rental will amount to $3.50.
For the use of Hazards pavilion $3.50 ls
demanded This place is said to be most
desirable, but the drawback is the amount
demanded.
The committee no longer considers
Music hall as an available place.
]. B. Neville, chairman Of the hall COM
mittee, said yesterday: 1.-THE matter Of a
hall lies between the Burbank theater and
Hazards pavilion Our only objection to
Hazards is the steep rent. No selection Of
a hall will be made until Chairman Lee OF
the county central committee returns from
Sacramento"

She represents that the extension Of New
High street will work an injury to the prop
erty by making It an outlet that will tend
to draw away business, and that. owing to
the manifest unfairness and unjustness of
assessing property, such assessment could
be set aside by the courts or its confirma-
ton be withheld
She asks that the council will not order
such assessment to extend beyond the
limits Of the property actually benefited by
the Improvement.
