day found his little son, with slate
and pencil in his hand, astride one
of the horses.
"Why, Harry" he exclaimed,
"what are you doing?'
"Writing composition" was the
reply.
"Well, why don't you write it in
the house?" asked the father.
Because" answered the little fel-
low, "the master told me to write
a composition on a horse"

Frances New Escutcheon.

France has made in the course Of
her history so many changes in her
heraldic symbol that the latest has
escaped almost without notice. The
republic has just taken to itself a
new coat of arms, which came into
official use for the first time during
the king of Spain's recent visit, the
escutcheons being then quietly af-
fixed to the ministry Of foreign af-
fairs, where, since his majesty re-
sided there, they doubtless passed
with many worthy Frenchman for
the Spanish coat Of arms. The new
design consists of the lictor's fasces,
around which are twined sprays of
oak and olive, the whole bound to-
gether with a band bearing the in
scription, Liberty, Equality, Fra
ternity," and around all cartouch
with the words 'French Republic"

TO PURCHASE MOTORCYCLES
Police Department viii Get Fast
Machines to Run Down Speed
Maniacc

The supply committee has been en-
powered by the city council to purchase
two of the best motorcycles that can
be bought for the use of the police
department in arresting automobilists
who violate the speed laws, These
cycles will cost about $500 each.
"The police department should have
ten if they need them" said Council-
man Smith. Something must be done
to stop this reckless driving of automo-
biles If they can be content with two
for a while / believe they should have
the best that can be purchased and the
supply committee should buy them as
soon as possible"
Discussion of the motorcycles brought
to light the whereabouts of the auto
mobile that had been purchased for the
police department for this very pur-
pose. The fate of this machine has
long remained a mystery. The automo-
bile is stationed in some garage, await
ing the time when the city shall see fit
to pay for 1t.
Several months ago the police COM
mission asked the city council to buy
an automobile for the use of the de-
partment in arresting the speed vio-
lators. The council empowered the
supply committee to make the purchase
and this committee bought the ma
chine under the direction of the chief
of police, purchasing the make recon-
mended by him. Later the police COM
mission changed its mind and the
mayor refused to sign the voucher for
the automobile. The agent took it
back and refuses to deliver it until
settlement is made.
An effort was made to have the city
clerk sign the voucher yesterday but
the case was laid over for a week to
permit further investigation.
1t is probable that the automobile
will be bought and given to the street
as Superintendent Hanley
has stated that he wants two more
machines and can save the salaries of
four officials if these are granted.

The boys who await punishment are
six of the most popular young fellows

Hiram Scholes is one of the track

team.
Grover Youngs is captain of this
seasons track team, plays tackle on the

Los Angeles will have new city hall.
After a period of most impressive
silence, Theodore Summerland, the last
councilman to vote on the proposition
and the one on whom the entire enter
prise hinged, voted AYE" and gave
his reasons for so doing.
I'VE are receiving something for
nothing. 1 do not believe the southern
part of the city will suffer if the city
hall is moved to the North Main street
site. The southern part of the city
is prosperous enough. Let us extend
the glad hand to our brothers of the
north. I vote AYE"
Round after round of thunderous ap-
plause from the promoters, who We're
out in force, greeted these statements
of the president of the council and it
was with difficulty that they could be
restrained from mounting him on their
shoulders and carrying him in trium-
phant procession through the city hall.
A two-third vote of the council was
necessary in order that an ordinance
accepting the free site on North Main,
Republic and New High streets might
be accepted. Blanchard, Ford, Healy,
Harmon and Kern voted for the propo-
siton Smith, Houghton and Hitler
against it. leaving President Summer
land to decide. Within ten minutes
attorney to prepare an ordinance ac-
cepting the free SITE was passed, the
ordinance had been presented, the same
vote recorded in it's acceptance and
the city had pledged itself to begin
the construction of a municipal build
ing on the site within one year.
Opposes Proposition
Councilman Harmon of the Second
o,-1 Nc5fi fn1 if0C XNrI,n hh
moved that the question of accepting
the free site be taken from the hands
of the committee of the whole and
referred to the council.
This brought Councilman Smith, who
has fiercely opposed the proposition,
to his feet, and with a sigh of resig-
nation he admitted that he was de-
feated, but pleaded that the people be
allowed to vote on the proposition.
'"This is not question for the coun-
Gil to decide" he said, "it will involve
the expenditure of perhaps $1,OO0OOO of
the peoples money and they should
have the right to say whether or not
they want to build a new city hall and
where they want to build it.
Some pressure has been brought to
bear on some of the councilmen to
induce them to vote for the acceptance
of this gift, and under those circum-
stances tnelr vote cannot Dut be DlaSed.
would be willing that the city should
bear the expense of a special election
in order that the people might have
chance to express their opinion. II
this proposition does pass the council
this afternoon, there is liable to be
trouble for some of the members who
vote for it."
This trouble, 1t was later explained,
might come at the next election If
the present 1ncumbents are again can
didates for the council. and it might also
come when bond election is ordered,
if such is necessary, to build the new
structure.
Lawrence Holmes, a property owner
in the Second ward, but who declared
that he owned no property that would
be affected by placing the city hall
on North Main street, then advanced
one of the most remarkable arguments

BEATEN AND LEFT SENSELESS
J. E. Armstrong Is Found Unconscious
Under Crossing on Alameda
Street

Patrolman Hubbard found J. f. Arm
strong. an employe of the Pacific Elec-
trio railroad, lying under a crossing at
the corner of Alameda and Second
streets shortly after noon yesterday.
From his condition It was evident that
he had been drinking heavily Sunday
night, although it is believed that his
unconscious condition was due to a
terrible beating, his face and body
being covered with marks of some
heavy instrument.
When Patrolman Hubbard found
Armstrong he had him at once removed
to the receiving hospital. Armstrong
could give little account of what had
taken place the night previous and
was unable to tell much about himself.
An investigation was made in the
neighborhood and it was learned there
was much carousing in that vicinity
Sunday night shortly before midnight.
and it is believed that Armstrong was
beaten in a quarrel.

FRANCHISE FIGHT
COMES TO AN END
SOUTHERN PACIFIC WINS ON
JACKSON STREET
M. T. Collins Practically Admits De-
feat and Declares He Is Willing
to Accept Outcome-Healy
Recall Meeting

The last chapter in the Jackson street
franchise that has stirred up the resi-
dents and property owners of the
eighth ward to fever pitch during the
last week. was written in the mayors
office yesterday morning when M T.
Collins, admitted defeat and declared
he was willing to accept the Southern
Pacific If that road would fulfill its
promises of improving the street. The
mayor took the case under adVisement
for five days but it is almost certain
that he will sign the ordinance grant
ing the franchise.
A week ago the lobby of the council
chamber was filled with property own
ers anxious that the Santa Fe be
granted the franchise by the council,
yesterday Mr.. Collins made his fight
practically single handed and even he
was not overZealous.
Two petitions were presented by the
Southern Pacific and they represented
nearly 1900 feet of frontage. A week
ago their petition had but $50 feet
frontage. A large number of those
who had signed the Santa Fe petition
had withdrawn and affixed their sigma
lures to that of the Southern Pacific,
admitting that one road was as good
as the other in benefiting property.
J. P. Goytino who Is one of the lead
ers in the movement to recall Council
man Healy of the eighth ward for
voting to give the franchise to the
Southern Pacific, said last night many
persons had signed the recall petition.
He said Rev. Dana Bartlett or Walter
Horgan will be the candidate for
Healys place.
A meeting of Healy's opponents will
be held tonight at the Bethlehem In
stitutional church.

NO BIDS WERE SUBMITTED
City Council Receives No Offers to
Furnish New Steel Garbage
Wagons

Not single bid has been submitted
for supplying the new steel grabage
wagons for caring for the city's gar
bage in connection with the new Gre
matory.
More than a month ago the council
had instructed the clerk to advertise
for bids, but no specifications for the
wagons We're made and no definite
number was fixed on. On these condi-
tions manufacturers have refused to
enter bids although the city clerk has
received numerous communications
from makers of this kind of wagon.
The case was yesterday referred to
the board Of public works to draw up
specifications and stipulate the number
of wagons needed and further effort
will he made to secure bids for the
wagons and teams for one, two and
three-year periods.

Finding himself alone in the office OF
the Garden City Transfer company,
COG East Fifth street, yesterday after
noon, 11-year-old Herman Walker
rushed to the cash drawer, opened the
till and stole $40 in bills. The ringing
of the bell on the register called the
attention of one of the employees who
reached the room just in time to see
Walker as he made his escape.
Two men started in pursuit of the
fleeing lad but before they had gone far
the little boy had disappeared and they
were unable to trace him. The detect
i've department was notified and De-

landed in the detention home, where
he will be held until his trial.
