SLEEPY OFFICIALS.
Los Angeles Long-Delayed School
Report Has Come.

The long g-looked-for report of the
School Superintendent of Los Angeles
County was received at State Superin-
tendent Kinks Office yesterday, though
mt before an emphatic telegram had
been dispatched to the aforesaid Super
intendent to either rush his report or
explain the cause of his delay.
With the long delayed report was in
closed letter stating that the report
was ready for forwarding on July 1st,
but that it had been withheld in ac-
cordance with supposed instructions
from the State superintendent office.
A further reason for not sooner for
warding the report was that annual
report blanks had not been received
from the State superintendent office.
The officials in State superintendent
Kinks office say the ink marks would
indicate that the report had only just
been finished. They also declare that
annual report blanks were sent to the
Superintendent at Los Angeles.
An examination of the report showed
quite number Of mistakes, and this
morning the report will be returned
with the request that it be corrected
and sent back here.
The arrangement between Controller
Colgan and State Superintendent Kirk,
whereby the latter was given further
time to file his annual report of the
children of school age in the State, has
saved a deal of trouble to somebody
connected with the school department
of Los Angeles.

BACK FROM THE EAST.
Return Of Secretary Matthews OF
the State Board of Health.

DR.. w. P. Mathews, Secretary Of the
State Board of Health. has returned
from an official visit to Washington,
D. c., and other sections of the East.
DR.. Mathews was accompanied by his
daughter Bella.
The doctor attended a conference of
Boards of Health at Richmond, Va,
and subsequently went to Washington,
where he met the Secretary of Agricul-
ture and discussed with him the prob
lem of cattle quarantine in this State.
Secretary Wilson promised his hearty
cooperation with the State authorities
in the matter, and said he expected to
visit this State when President McKin-
ley makes his tour of the West.
Secretary Wilson, DIR. Mathews said,
offered some healthy criticism about the
disposition of California dairy products.
He stated that the army in Manila is
being supplied with butter from Iowa,
instead of California, which seemed
rather strange considering the differ
ence in time and transportation rates
between these sections.
DR.. Mathews suggested that the Iowa
butter might be better for packing pur-
poses than that of California, owing to
the difference in the feed, but was in
formed that alfalfa was far superior
to any. other food for milk cows, and
that the butter made from cows fed
thereon would keep pure and sweet
longer than any other.
After his visit to Washington DR..
Mathews went to. his old home in
Southwestern Virginia, which, he says,
is prosperous and has fully recovered
from the effects of the war.

Jurv

W. J. Thompson, charged with carry
ing on plumbing business without
license, was tried and acquitted by 4
jury in the City Justices Court yester-
day morning.

taken number of contracts for plumb
ing work. but that he had sub-let the
same to licensed plumbers.
Regardless of the fact that the ordi-
nance governing the case provides that
no person, firm or corporation shall en-

A great many wonder why the teachers

ting perfect fits on every form without
changing line. This can be easily ac-
counted for. the Standard is the ONLY
system in the world that is allowed to
use the Victor measure. This little
invention is in itself a perfect wonder,
and every tailor and dressmaker who has
seen it declares it to be the only true
mode of correct measure. 1t is entirely
different from all of the old style meas
urements. With. it you can detect in a
moment where there, are any changes to
be made as it brings out every outline
Of the human form, and therefore. you
can cut a garment to fit a deformed per-
son just as easily as for the most perfect
form.

the entire company appears to advantage.
The singing OF Emma De Forest Is one
of the vocal gems of the show. Johnny

Sam Green appears in a comical Irish

and Louise st. Clair sing several pretty
duets. May De" May, in a soubrette role,
is adequately entertaining, and Lulu Joad-

Park Board to Begin the PhaIen
Park Improvement Again.

The board of park commissioners at a
meeting last night rescfnded the previous
order for the condemnation of Phalen
park and passed new resolutions i'll the
proceedings. This action was taken for
the reason that under the previous order
the assessment would have to be COM

possible. The abstracts and data pre-
pared by the board of public works for
the condemnation can be used in the new
proceedings and the park board will meet
tomorrow afternoon to take other formal
steps as provided for by law.

that he had discharged the park police
and custodians Oct. IT, and his action
was approved
George Hunsaker, as executor of the
estate of Martha L. Griswold, notified the
board that under the will left by Mrs.

age of values Mr.. Hunsaker advised that
not more than one-third of the beulest

to the corporation attorney to look up,
the board being of the opinion that moth

mentioned.

SHIPPING BIG GAME,
NOn-Resident Hunters Confronted
With a Hard Law.

The open season on moose commenced
Sunday and continues five days. great
many hunters are now abroad in the
Minnesota pineries in search Of big game
The law prohibits the shipping of veni-
son or moose outside the state The
state game and fish commission has re-
ceived a large number Of INQUIRIES from
nonresident hunters who have taken out
licenses asking If they will be permitted
to take their game home with them.
Where nonresident hunters take out q.
license and kill their game legally the
game commission will not be very zeal
Gus In confiscating game. However, the
executive agent calls particular attention
to the fact that the game must be ac-
companied by the hunter, and only in
very limited quantities can it be taken
out of the state. The law restricts the
number of deer that can be killed to five
and one moose, but the commission will
permit but one Of each to be taken out
of the state.
At recent meeting of the game and
fish commission the matter was consid-
cred, and it was decided that it would
work unjust discrimination and hardship
on the nonresident hunter to REQUIRE
him to pay SIS license and then not be
permitted to take his game home with
him.
The law was passed to prevent the
sale and shipment out of the state of
game by pot hunters and commission
men.

American soldiers struck terror to the
hearts of the natives, the sneaker said.
Rlld won many battle where hesitation
in hazardous charge or the slightest
failing of courage might have lost the
cay. The Minnesota soldiers were among
the most valiant. according TO the speak
er, and during the fighting, while the SOL
o1ers were in Manila, many of them left
the city secretly to join IN the fighting
On the firing lines This was q breach of
discipline that resulted in many court
martial trials, Mr.. Cressey said, In which
the guilty soldiers were fined from 25
cents to 81 each. Speaking Of drinking
among soldiers, Mr.. Cressey said he re-
garded the Minnesota boys as temperate
lot OF fellows as could be gotten TO-
gether In regiment. Of course there
was some drinking. he said, but many of
