Several members Of the council are
angry because they believe they we're
Intentionally sighted when the list of
people who should go out to the re-
ception train to meet Senator Flint was
made up. Mayor McAleer was MEM
Der of the party, but according to the
councilman who told the story, not a
member Of that body was invited to
accompany the party.
Councilman Smith said yesterday.
II care nothing about this thing from
q personal standpoint. but as an official

thing has the appearance of an inten-
tional slight of the council, otherwise

THE members of the council feel that

Secretary Frank Virgins of the
chamber of commerce said yesterday
that the chamber had nothing to do

FIREMEN LOOK FOR
DEPARTMENT CHANGES
Commission Holds Session Behind
Closed Doors-6oiIer AppIica-
tlons Are Referred


The fire commission held an open
meeting, at which routine business was
disposed of. There was an executive
session at which, It is stated, certain
contemplated changes in the personnel
of the department were discussed at
length.
1t is known that a number Of men in
the department earnestly espoused the
candidacy of ex-Mayor Snyder during
the last city campaign. 1t is said that
all of these individuals have been
marked by the present administration,
and it is expected that the announce
ment Of several important changes will
be made at an early date.
Property owners on Hope, Flower
and West Sixth streets Joined issues in
a protest against the location of a hand
laundry at 727 West Sixth street. H.
Takunagas, applicant for the privilege,
gave up the fight when he saw the
strength of the protest and the applica-
ton was denied.
Banning street property owners were
prepared to protest against the loca-
ton of q steam engine for pickle
plant at 620 Banning street. Their
action was forestalled by the with
drawal of the petition. The Bartlett
Coulthard company, which had asked
for the engine permit on Banning
street, substituted for it an application
for similar permit at S4S Stevenson
avenue. This application was referred
to the chief for a report.
Granting a request from property
owners on West Thirty-fifth street, the
application from the Holmes Mining
company for gasoline engine permit
at 1914 West Thirty-fifth street was
laid on the table for one week. Per-
mission was granted the Holden 'Lum-
Der company to operate an electric
motor in the company's lumber yard
at 4114 Vermont avenue.
New applications were referred to the
chief for investigation as follows:
Chanslor-Lyon Motor Supply company,
application for distillate engine permit
at $50 South Main street; Victor
Sjostrom, application for machine shop
permit at $40 Wall street; American
Laundry company, application for
steam laundry permit at the northwest
corner of Los Angeles and East Elev-
enth streets; A. o. Bell, application for
gasoline engine permit for the auto
mobile shop at 129 Wilmington street;
L. A. Martin, application for black
smith shop permit at 129 Wilmington

BRICK CONTRACT AGAIN
TROUBLES COMMITTEE
Contractor for OutfalI Sewer Has No-
titled City That Material Must
Be Supplied at Once

Members of the sewer committee,
the city engineer and city attorney are
once more wrestling with, the brick
contract. Contractor Charles Stans-
bury has notified the officials that he
has waited as long as he can for brick
and that the time has arrived when he
must be supplied with material.
Portions of the tunnel on section
three of the tunnel which have been
completed by the contractor are set
thing because the brick wall has not
been placed and there is danger that
the city will have to face a damage
suit soon if bricks are not supplied the
contractors.
1t is expected that the sewer commit
tee on Monday will recommend that the
city purchase 100000 brick in the mar
ket under the 8 per cent water test
1t is presumed that the lowest bids last
received will be accepted for this
amount of brick.
A member of the sewer committee
said yesterday: "The time has come
when the council must take decisive
action upon this brick business. We
have dallied along from time to time
with the Independent company and
nothing but disappointment has re-
suited from it. The outfall sewer must
he built at once if the interests of the
city are to be protected, and L for one
shall vote for decisive action"

CHILD PROVES
HIMSELF A HERO
LITTLE INVALID THINKS ONLY
OF MOTHER
Remarkable Surgical Operations viii
Result In Recovery Of Five
Year-oid Wallace
Conner

II want to be man with a straight
back so that 1 can help mother"
endured without a murmur, the wish Of
little 5-year-old hero is about to be
granted, in spite of the fact that doc
tors think it little short Of miraculous.
Little Wallace Conner was taken to
the Chlldren's hospital almost two
years ago, so helpless that he was even
unable to take nourishment. His back
was knotted and twisted in such a way
that 1t seemed almost impossible to
believe that it could ever be straight
ened.
Shortly after he was taken to the
hospital another trouble came TO set
the boy back on his uphill climb toward
health and strength. He contracted
pneumonia and for six months was
barely able to turn from one side to
the other on the little white cot in
which he lay.
Hours of suffering such as many an
older person would shrink from bearing
caused not even frown on the little
fellows face, and he quickly won the
heart of every nurse in the hospital.
One cast aften another was tried in
the hope Of strengthening out the dis
eased spine, and three months ago the
jury mast was applied, and now the
little man is able to walk with the
slight assistance of nurse. In a short
time it is expected that he will cover
the ground as rapidly as any other
small boy Of 5.
One of the nurses said yesterday, in
speaking Of the little fellow:
Child a Hero
"Wallace is a hero. 1t seems hardly
possible that any child could bear the
suffering that he has undergone since
he came to us, and it has all been
without a murmur."
One night, when the little fellow was
saying his evening prayer, he ques-
toned one Of the girls standing near
about heaven.
do you think that if I were to &C
to heaven would have a straight. bach
so that could help mother and little
sister?'
The boys father is dead ana his
mother has been ill in the county hos
pital. He has one little sister and for
these two he would be content to suffer
any amount Of pain.
"If I could only just help mother is
tine only. cry that comes from his lips,
and now he is happier than if he were
king. for he feels that his hearts de-
sire is coming to him.
To look at his face one would think
that there was nothing wrong, for he
is growing to be fat, healthy lad.
When seen at the hospital a day or
two ago Wallace was sitting ON the
floor in front of blazing log fire,
amusing the children who are so much
younger than this 5-year-old midget
in experience and yet older in years.
The physicians who have watched
the case say it is almost a miracle, and
they look in wonder at the child as he
is now ana think of his condition a
year ago.
