THE JUICE" TURNED ON
San Gabriel Electric Company Ready
for business

The San Gabriel Electric company is ready
for business, the current being turned into
its works 254 Los Angeles street last even
ing and the massive machinery being found
to work to perfection. The Bradley Fer
tilizing works commenced taking the power
yesterday, discarding its steam plant.
The company is composed entirely of local
capitalists, the investment representing $780,
600. The president is w. G. Kerckhoff. the
treasurer is Henry w. OMelveny, the Sec
rotary Otto Weiss, the other directors being
Kaspar Cohn, Abe Haas and M. Dodsworth.
The general manager and vice-president is
A. c. Balch, who, though very young man,
has had all the work of designing he en-
.gineering plans and carrying them out to a
most happy conclusion.
The company has at Its command 1900
horse power. The plant has been erected
under the direction of Chief Engineer r. s.
Mason Of the Westinghouse company, and
is in duplicate throughout, SO that no accl-
dent can interfere with the supply. To
guard against the complete stoppage Of the
current such as might be caused by de-
struction of the line of wire to the power
station at Azusa, a steam plant has been put
in place and will be kept In readiness. The
cost of the power Is from rs to so per cent
less than that of steam. The company has
already enough contracts to insure Its sue
cess, and on Monday will put in bid for
the city lighting. The light is the steadiest
in the city, not flicker being distinguish
able.

ard the easy manner with which he twirled
and tossed the heavy dumb bells would
make Sandow envious. The tumbIing

was received with due appreciation, and
then the audience was in line for variety.
which came in the form of two vocal solos
by Jack Llewellyn and Joe Korber. fol-
lowed by one of Frank Dominguezs char
acterstic speeches.
The evenings program was completed by
the Manhattan Four, who are holding down
the boards at the Orpheum this week, and
to say that they received an ovation is
putting it mildly. The festivities lasted un-
til late hour, and not one who attended
could possibly wish for better time.

PENSION VOUCHERS
A Warning Letter Regarding Lax
Methods of Doing Business

Dr. s. G. Balch, special examiner of the
pension bureau for this district, has re-
ceived from Washington a circular calling
attention to an almost total disregard of
the laws and regulations governing the
execution of pension vouchers. The cir
cular says in part:
1T is clearly evidenced that the Illegal
lax, Indifferent and perfunctory procedure
now extant has become a menace to the
proper and safe conduct of the affairs of
this bureau, so far as it relates to the paw
ment of pensions, and special efforts arc
contemplated to correct the existing abus-
es. While it is believed that many officials
who assist in the execution of pension
vouchers have no conception of their Grim
inal liability In the premises, it is equally
certain that many others, to secure an ad-
vantage in the numerical number of their
clientage, knowingly, and willfully resort
to violations of the law.
ITO the end that the former class may
profit by this notice. this circular is issued.
There can be no justification in the preya-
lent haste and laxity existing in many Of
fees by which post dating, false certifca-
ton, false claims and stock witnesses have
become a factor in the administration ard
acknowledgment of pension vouchers.
ut is the intention of this bureau, where
the facts warrant such action, to institute
criminal proceedings against the parties
who indulge in these Illegal and irregular
practices, and they are warned according
ly."
DR.. Balch is aware of no serious irregu-
larities in this district at the present time
The circular is intended as general warn
ing.

WORKING FOR FUSION
Silver Republicans Will Send q Fusion
Committee North

A meeting of the administration commit
tee of the Silver Republican party, in con-
junction with the resident members of the
state central committee, was held yester-
day morning at the Silver Republican club.
Besides the members of the committee from
this city H. A. McCraney of Sacramento
was present.
1t was decided to call a meeting of both
the administration and state central COM
mittees at Sacramento on the 18th of July,
to meet with a like committee from the
Democrats. On the 18th the Populislss hold
their state convention and the foundation
for fusion must be laid at that time. From
present indications a union ticket will be
put in the field.
Another matter which will be looked after
by the Los Angeles delegation is the Sc
curing of the state convention of the Silver
Republicans for this city. This, 1t is be-
Meved, can be secured by the proper efforts.
The local commercial bodies arctic be asked
to extend an invitation to the convention.

CONFERENCE
cSrx sA1gH So3xpANx's REPRE-
SEM xrrkEs CONFER
water Company Wants to Know in
Writing Just What It Is Pro-
posed to Put Price Upon

"a secret conclave of the water supply
committee OF the city council and repre-
sentauves Of the water company was held
In the office of President Silver yesterday
afternoon TO discuss the question of arbl-
tration of the price to be paid for the inn
provements to the plant. Although the dis
cussion lasted svereal hours, nothing def
mite was arrived at, and another meeting
will be held next Thursday at the same
hour.
There were present Attorneys Chapman
and Monroe for the water company and
stockholders Broderick, Miner and Mott.
The council committee consists of Messrs.
Nickel, Toll and Blanchard, all of whom
were on hand, backed up by the presence
ana moral support of Mayor Snyder and
President Silver. Attorneys Dunn and Scott
looked after the city's interests.
Judge Chapman made the principal argu-
ment for the water company, declaring that
while they were ready to arbitrate, the
company thought that the city should first
vote the necessary bonds for payment. He
thought the municipality should vote an as
sue of bonds for the purpose of purchasing
the water plant and making necessary
additions and improvements thereto. In
this way the sum could be made large
enough to cover any possible change in
price made by the arbitrators; and after
their work is done the money could be paid,
whatever was left going to the betterment
Of the plant. In this way the company
would be assured that the city would not
fan to abide by the decision of the board of
afbitrators.
The attention of the company represent
atives was called TO the fact that. If after
price had been set by the arbitrator and
the people should refuse to vote the neces-
sary bonds, no money was forthcoming,
the council could be ordered by writ of
mandate of the superior court to force
tax levy to raise the money. There was no
dearth of talk on both sides, but an agree
ment was not reached.
On the part of the water company it was
insisted that as preliminary to arbitration
the city detail in writing just what proper
ties and improvements it proposes to set a
price upon and purchase. Although it Ia
well known what is to be bought this move
is supposed to have been made that the dis
tinction as to the Crystal springs supply
which the company claims to own, be def
nitely made. AS the city also lays claim to
these waters, of course it will not offer to
buy them, especially as a decision in the
case. which is now hung up in the supreme
court, is expected any day.
"A special meeting of the council will be
held this afternoon. at which the report of
the water supply committee, giving the re-
suit Of the conference, will be received. 1t
is not expected that more will be done than
to order detailed statement to be mado to
the water company as requested, and ad-
journ to await the reply
