rHE CITY eEAurlEul.

while there has been a very hearty
response to the efforts Of the.ladies Of
the City Federation OF Womens clubs
in their campaign for the city beautiful,
there is still opportunity for develop
ment along this line Indeed the price
Of success is continued activity No
merely spasmodic effort can succeed.
There must be created and kept alive
a strong public sentiment. a real civic
pride. to attain results worthy of note.
Then there is this practical phase
Of the matter that public sentiment
and civic pride will not make grass

must be commenced at oncei Early
springtlme is the planting time in Ok
lahoma. No use to plant at all unless
it is done soon. Large numbers Of the
citizens are taking up the suggestion
heretofore made in The Leader and
urged by the City Federation, but
there is great room for extension.

An interesting report comes from
France in regard 10 the use OF cannon
as a defence against hail in the agri-
cultural districts There are actually
in active operation twenty-eight firing
cannon societies. and they put into use
last year 462 cannon-with what is
claimed as very marked success in
dispensing or diminishing the force of
tho storm. And indeed, the statistics
bear out the claim Of the cannon's et-
fectiveness. During the fifteen years
before the cannon were brought into
use, the government reimbursed the
poor grape growers in sixteen com
lnunes S2.572,316 for damages suffered
through hail and an additional half
p,llion dollars for damages Is conceded
20 have been done. Opposed to this is
tire report tkat during the FIVE years
in which the cannon have been in use
the losses from hail have aggregated
only s159.412.
The facts are all set forth in a re-
port issued by the president Of two
agricultural societies and a hail can
non" society. the report being based
on the statements received after each
storm from the president Of the agri-
cultural society Of the district In re-

the report says 1--WE base our con-

TO OPEN CRUSADE FOR
LEGIBLE STREET SIGNS

The Los Angeles Realty board has
inaugurated a crusade for the placing
of legible street signs at all the street
corners, at least within the business
section of the city.
A meeting of the board was held
yesterday at which it was decided that
the governing committee should ap-
pear for the second time before the
city council in behalf of the movement.
At the suggestion of the Realty board
a local manufacturer has placed sam
pies of his signs at the intersection
of Third street and Broadway and the
board will urge that the council lose
no more time in providing for a similar
convenience at other street intersec-
tions, the work to be done before
the opening of the tourist season. il
such is possible.
At the invitation of Vice President
Barbour the board is soon to visit Long
Beach and San Pedro and view the
site of the proposed extension of the
inner harbor.
At yesterdays meeting a committee
comprising Messrs. Leonard Merrill.
]. ". Barbour and George N. Black
was appointed to convey to the family
of the late Frederick H. Rindge the
boards regret and sympathy at the

lay all Friday night in a deep ravine
beneath the Los Angeles-Paciflc rail-

found yesterday morning by rancher
named Lipsky and sent to the Los
Angeles receiving hospital.
Despite his cries for help no one
heard him and realizing that he must
spend the night on the dry river bot
tom Cowie crawled about, gathered
small quantities of waste wood and dry
sticks and built fire.
AS Lipsky and his farm hands were
going to work early yesterday morn
ing, their attention was attracted by
Cowie's moaning. Cowie was carried to
nearby house and, when he regained
consciousness, was sent to Los Angeles.
Cove was employed in the kitchen
Of the Cabrillo ship hotel at Venice

was carried beyond his destination and
to save time set out on foot. AS he
crossed the bridge he fell through an
opening in the trestle. He was re-
moved to the county hospital yester-

NEGRO ENGINE DRIVER
ACCUSED BY LIEUTENANT
Too Many Women Friends and Large
Number of Telephone Calls Get
Fireman Into Trouble

Too many women friends and too
many telephone calls were factors in
bringing Charles Elgin, an engine
driver of fire company number one,
before the board of fire commissioners
yesterday morning.
There were other causes, but when
Elgin, a negro black as the ace of
spades, tried conclusions with his SUI
perior Lieutenant Wright, over the
woman question, and threatened to
make the lieutenant's face resemble a
handful of mud. it was too much for
Wright and Elgins conduct was
brought to the notice of the board.
Other charges preferred We're that
he was not a competent driver, refused
to take the advice given him by his su-
periors and cared for his horses in a
way to make them unfit for service.
The case was given over to Chief
Walter Lips, who will act on the ques-
ton as he sees fit.

soon to be erected.
The architecture is that of the old
Mission type and the buildings have
been so constructed as to permit of
a great amount of light and air.
The hospital consists of seven sep
building, two ward buildings, physi-
clans and nurses home, attendants
quarters, dining hall, kitchen and
laundry.
The buildings are connected with
covered passageways, which may be
thrown open when the weather per-
mits.
The grounds are three acres in ex-
tent and the plans of the hospital as
it Is now constructed provide for the
erection Of additional ward buildings.
The total cost will be over 5000, 900.
The Santa Fe now has emergency

commodate all of those who have ap-
piled for admission.

INTENDS TO PRESERVE CITY
CREDIT
WILL REFUSE REoUISITl0NS
Department Heads to Be Notified That
They Must Keep Expenditures
Within Their Appor-
tionments

Expenditures by the heads Of the
various departments of the city for
the past two months show an excess
Of half a million dollars over their ap-
portionments.
City Auditor Schwaebe will present
his report Of the deficit at Tuesdays
council meeting. He will notify the
must keep their expenditures within
the apportionment made by the coun-
Gil a month ago. If, after a sufficient
length of time he is satisfied that they
are not paying heed to his warnings,
he will refuse to draw any warrants.
The question will be settled by the
departments. Auditor Schwaebe has sig
nified his intention of placing the city's
finances in the proper condition, even
if it comes to a point where the NUM-
cipal government can not act for lack
of funds.
According to the table of allowances
and apportionments prepared by the
city auditor and published in yester-
days Herald, it was shown that the
larger and more important departments
were the most lax in keeping within
their financial limits, the amounts over
drawn by the fire, park police, library
streets and health departments being
in excess of $25, ,0OO
overdraft of $567,e1s.63
The overdrawal of funds is shown to
be 1857, ,91863. Several of the depart
ments have thus far failed to turn in
their accounts for labor and hire for
the month of August, while the library
board during the past two months has
drawn no warrants for books, printing
or supplies. When these sums are add
ed the total deficit will be considerably
larger than that shown in the audi
tors report.
Mr.. Schwaebe said yesterday: From
now on all departments must keep
within their prescribed apportion-
ments. They will be given official
notice of this fact. Then, if they refuse
to cut down their expenditures I shall
be under the necessity of refusing to
draw any warrants until they have
complied with the ordinance in this re-
gard.
"The heads of all departments keep
an account of their expenditures. 1
am only cognizant of the fact of their
indebtedness from the warrants which
are drawn through my office. 1t is
easy for them. however. to hold over
bills until the month following, when
they are in error"
The tax collectors office shows a de-
ficit of $306.56.
