"Your moneys good but your voice

Boc'sun Bill blew long, shrill blast
on his pipe and roared:
"All hands on deck! Port anchor

Every man present able to reach the
bar promptly responded.
With a nautical hitch the sailor
plunged in again:

There were ten minutes old-fashioned

ear full of amber fluid and a free
lunch that would make Upton Sinclair
think his work had been in vain.
Things had been going rather slow
and no one had compelled the bar
keep to vault the mahogany with his
bungstarter for an hour.
A sailor from the good ship Nancy
Bell. which dropped her mudhook in
the outer harbor at San Pedro at sun
down, started things.
The sailor had spliced the mainbrace
nineteen times since he made good on
his shore leave and was just getting
his land legs limbered up.

ROAD YIELDS TO
BOARDS TERMS
PRESIDENT CLARK WILL MOVE

Illinois Central at oc-
tober Election

President e. P. Clark of the Los An
geles-Pacific yesterday agreed to the
terms Of the board Of public works re-
garding the construction of a spur
track on Sixteenth street.
The board demanded that the l.. A.
p. construct its spur track so as to not
cross Burlington avenue, and this will
be done, the line being built further
east than was first proposed.
Another concession to the opinion Of
the board was made by President Clark
when the board objected to his line
crossing three sidewalks into the oil
fields In the Second ward. Mr.. Clark
agreed to take up this track and run
1t into the old district by way of Sun
set boulevard over which he now has
franchise.

DETENTION HOSPITAL
IS WHITE ELEPHANT
TAXPAYERS ASK WHATS THE ANSWER
Los Angeles Citizens Vote $4,000 Bonds for Pest
House. Wait Two Years and Find Buildings
Useless and Decaying From Neglect

The outfall sewer is assuming the
proportions of blot on the municipal
escutcheon; the garbage situation
smells to high heaven; but the deten-
ton hospital is the skeleton in the
municipal closet that clanks its rotting
bones in derision at Los Angeles tax
payers who have already been mulcted
for >$56, 900 to feed it's grinning jaws.
Nearly three years ago the board of
health concluded that pest house was
necessary. 1t sent a recommendation
to that effect to the city council. The
council called an election to vote bonds
for the pest house and placed the
amount at $4,000. The people, always
fearful of smallpox epidemic, cheer
fully voted the bonds.
After the bond money was available
it seemed that very elaborate prepara-
tions were necessary before a pest
house for the accommodation of small
pox patients could be constructed, and a
year and half passed before anything
was done.
A little more than a year ago the con-
struction of the pest house, politely
called the detention hospital, was be-
gun and today the city has beautiful
little administration building with ac-
eommodations for a experimenting
physician and corps of assisting ply
sicians, an immense engine house with
40 horse power boilers, sufficient to run
the largest manufacturing concern/in
Los Angeles, six neat little cottages for
smallpox patients. a quarantine sta
ton and laundry. These are all located
in Chavez ravine, and are practically
inaccessible to anything but birds and
airships.
Building Stands Empty
For this beautiful display of archi-
lecture the city has paid $56.O0O and be-
fore the plans of Architect j. c.. Austin
are completed several thousand dollars
additional will probably be paid out.
The question now arises, What will
the city do with it's beautiful detention
hospital? There is at present not a
single case of smallpox In the city,
there is not even one person whom the
health authorities can force to stay in
the quarantine station. Although the
detention hospital is ready for use there
is no one to use 1t. The place presents
the aspect of a deserted village and al
though all the buildings are brand new
they are beginning to assume the ap-
pearance OF dry rot that characterizes
all unused buildings, however new they
may be.
There is no one at the detention hos

PARIS. June 3O.-Paris newspapers
declare John d. Rockefeller attempted
to rent the chateau of Compiegne, a
splendid historical building belonging
to the state. 1t Is understood Rocke-
feller was particularly attracted to the
building by a room In which Napoleon
III slept on the occasion of his cell
ebrated hunting parties at the chateau.
Rockefeller was surprised and an
noyed that money could not produce
for him the simple pleasure of occu-
pying the castle. 1t is reported he
said

ply was made:

Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-01

on the scale that has been planned
would cost $1,000 month. Such was
the payroll made out by the health de-
partment when the hospital was first
ready for use. This payroll provides
for chief physician at $3.50 a month.
Only twice in the last twelve years, ac-
cording to records in the health de-
partment, Shas it been necessary - to
have a physician at the citys pest
house and that not for any considerable
length of time. Yet 1t was first pro-
posed to pay a physician $3.50 month
for residing at the hospital. One by
one the various attaches of the hospital
have been discharged until now there is
scarcely as much as care taker. But
still the board of public works is almost
monthly allowing some bill or other for
machinery, hardware and similar sup
piles for the detention hospital.
Not only have many thousands of
dollars been sunk into this detention
hospital, but much Of the work that
has already been done has to be done
over. When laid out the cottages
were built on the sides of steep slopes
ment to build steps and walks on these
hillsides. Now 1t has been discovered
that air and sunshine are essential to
such patients as would be treated at
the hospital and that weak, sick pa
tents cannot be expected to gambol
gaily on the sides of precipitous foot
hills. Wherefore the sleeps are being
graded down at considerable cost and
the cement work is practically a COM
plete loss.
Must Accept Legacy
Responsibility for the cumbersome
white elephant is hard to fix. The
members of the board of health who
preceded those now in office and who
recommended that smallpox hospital
be erected, deny having planned any
such monstrosity as the city now has
on it's hands. Members of the old coun-
ell have conveniently forgotten about
all they ever knew about the detention
hospital.
The present board of health had little
40 do with 1t save to accept the situa-
tion as they found it, Even their sugges-
tions of changes to be made in the plans
before being executed have been coldly
received. 1t is probably up to the board
Of public works to accept the hospital
as a municipal institution, which 1t
will probably do. although not without
wary face, for the board has become
hardened by just such legacies from in
competent city officials. 1t will be Just
one more burden piled on their aching
shoulders to take its place with the out
fall sewer, the garbage situation and
the street sweeping contract.

Would Accommodate Hundreds
There is absolutely no use at the pres
ent time for the detention hospital and
there can be no use for 1t unless the
city should be subject to fearful epi-
demic of smallpox, contingency which
good physicians claim as improbable as
that Los Angeles will ever be visited by
such catastrophe as overwhelmed San
Francisco
The deten..on hospital is designed to
accommodate several hundred patients
At no time in the history of the city has
there even been enough smallpox to
cause the slightest ripple of alarm on
the part of the health board or the citi-
zens generally. The hospital can be
used for no other purpose than for
for smallpox at all, although 1t was
with the intention of establishing a
hospital for all sorts of contagious dis
eases that the establishment was first
planned. The board of health, however,
has firmly set it's foot against the use
of smallpox hospital for such diseases
as diphtheria, scarlet fever and other
contagious diseases that require quar-
antine and isolation.
1t is now planned to turn the deten-
tion hospital into general hospital for
the relief of such cases as the emer-
gency hospital cannot care for, but
when this proposition Is broached 1t Is
confronted by the fact that the deten-
tion hospital was built for smallpox and
is therefore as inaccessible and isolated
as good medical form declares a small
pox hospital should be.
Serious cases being jolted to the de-
tenton hospital for treatment would
probably not need any attention except
such as an undertaken could give when
the patient arrived.

NEW YORK, June 3O.-Proxies for
the annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Illinois Central railroad in Octo-
Der were mailed today to the share

The proxies are made out in the name

worded to cover any special meeting of
the stockholders that may be called as
well as the annual meeting.
The officers of the road say they had
not heard of any movement to obtain
proxies in opposition to President
Fish.
The Times today says it has been said
for some time that the Hartman in

make an effort at the meeting next Oc-
