GEN. WHEELER HAD MANY FRIENDS
IN WASHINGTON.
Washington, January 25.-
Especial. )-The greatest regret
was expressed in Washington
over the death Of Gen. Joe
Wheeler. Eighteen years of his
life were spent here as a member
of Congress, and naturally he
made many friends, who had
every hope that his illness would
not prove fatal.
Few more industrious members
have been sent to Congress by a
constituency than Gen. Wheeler.
Few men contributed more TO the
Congressional Record than he.
Always a democrat, but more an
American, be was not always in
line with his party, but on the
Question Of patriotism was never
found wanting. The late Presi-
dent Mckinley had the greatest
admiration for Gen. Whe eler, and
admiration shared in no small
degree By the present occupant
Of The White House. When the
American troops sailed Tor Santi-
ago President Mckinley let it be
known that he desired General
Wheeler to take command of the
American forces in case General |
5nafGaf should for any cause +
'elinquish command. President
Mckinley had the utmost conf
lence in him, and in the Nc
kinley administration no guest
eceived a heartier welcome "a
he White House than the Gen
raj.

PROPERTY OWNERS PROTEST
Need of Board of Public Works Is
Shown When Citizens Go
to City Hall

One effect of a lack of a board of
public works was shown yesterday
when a number of property owners on
Fifty-second street appeared before
the council to protest against the high
prices charged for the Improvement of
that street and the poor manner in
which they declare the work had been
done.
When the protest was brought be-
fore the council it was discovered there
was no place to refer it. The council
manic board of works no longer holds
meetings and would have no power to
take action in such cases if it did, ac-
cording to the ruling of the city at
torney. The protest was finally re-
ferred to the committee of the whole
The professionals declared that Fifty
second street, between Central and Nc
Kinley avenues had recently been i'm
proved at cost of more than 81 a front
foot to the property AUDITING on the
street, while the same kind of work
had recently been done on F'ifty-frst
street at cost of less than 81 front
foot. They also declared that the street
superintendent had accepted the work.
but that the street had been left in a
bad condition by the contractors. The
council declared that it was too late
to protest against the assessment, as
the work had been accepted, but that
the committee of the whole might do
something about the alleged poor work

NEW UNION BARS
TENOR SINGERS
RAG CATERERS DRAW A SHARP
LINE
Junk Dealers Favor Bass and Baritone
Soicitors-WiIl Appoint Conn
mittee on Melody and
Diction

Inspired by the example set down by
their eastern brothers and moved by a
sense of duty of one fellow man to-
ward another, an organization of sweet
voiced alley nightingales, to be known
as the Junk Peddlers union of Los
Angeles, filed articles of Incorporation
in the county clerks office yesterday
afternoon.
The project is backed by no capital,
no stock and nothing has been sub
scribed, at least so say the articles of
Incorporation. Judging from this the
meetings of this noble aggregation of
descendants from Moses will be open
air congregations, with only a bundle
of rags for a chair, a reversed wagon
seat for the presidents desk and the
armament of the sky for a covering
to keep out the curious public.
For many moons the joyous climax
which was reached yesterday has been
striven for most earnestly by the six
men whose unpronounceable names are
attached to the documents tenderly
filed away in the county clerks office.
The qualifications for membership in
the Alley Nightingales club for the
PRONUNCIATION of the purchase of rags
iron and bottles, are kept entirely Sc
cret, at least so it is supposed. How
ever, member has already proven a
traitor to the cause and dropped a sug-
gestion which it is hoped will not cause
riot call at the next session of the
junk dealers.
The power of the voice, it's pitch,
quality and tone are the four questions
that are asked all applicants for mem
bership. First bass, second bass, first
tenor, second tenor baritone and So
prano, all voices are on the application
blanks.
But woe be unto him that is the
possessor of tenor voice. Externally
is he tabooed from the privilege of
joining the ranks of the alley meadow
larks. Even the charter member of the
organization has been compelled to take
a back seat and look upon the social
doings of his more lusty voiced brother
through a screen.
Thrice lucky is the applicant whose
voice when tried resembles the sudden
pouring of a thousand bricks upon
corrugated iron shed roof He is voted
a life member without further oues-
ton. Anything vocal that can wreck
O photograph destroy the human ear
drum with one application or peel a
dish of potatoes at ten yards distance
is at once handed out a receipt for
life membership.
The men who are now on the list as
charter members and their respective
voices are: l.. Salganick, bass; A.
Feinstein, soprano; II. Schimens, fog
horn; A. b. Shapero, auto honk-honk;
H. Kalschtain, first bass; 1. Mendelo-
Vitz, baritone.

MORLEY IS MAGNANIMOUS
Baseball Magnate Offers to Give Away
His Automobile If 1t Is
Speedy

A jury In Police Judge Chambers
court yesterday acquitted James Nor
ley, the baseball magnate, of exceeding
the speed limit with his automobile.
The genial manager Of the Los An
geles baseball team smiled pleasantly
at the jury and testified that if his
machine would go over ten miles an
hour he would present it to the best
looking man on the jury.
Although several witnesses said that
Mr.. Morley was travelling about thirty
miles an hour when stopped by the
police the jury did not see it in that
light.

REQUEST PUBLIC
TO VOTE BONDS
COUNCIL THROWS GATE WIDE
one Clause Provides for Parks and
Fairgrounds In Various Sections
Of Los Angeles-Jall
Also included

Contrary to all expectations and to
the expressed statements Of members of
the council that body threw the gates
wide open yesterday and voted to ask
the people to pass on bonds for every
thing that has been asked.
Bonds for 100000 for the fire de-
partment, $4,000 for the police depart
ment and $1OO,O for Fairgrounds will
be submitted to the people at the same
time that the vote on bonds for sewers,
storm drains and bridges is taken.
The fire department asked the coun-
Gil for $3.50, 900 bonds FOR building and
equipping six new engine houses in
different parts of the city. This was
cut to $4,000 and the $4,000 applied to
the police department., which had asked
for bond issue at the discretion of the
council for remodeling the old Jail on
First street.
The 800, 900 for Fairgrounds is on
recommendation of the Municipal
league This recommendation asked
that stipulation be made in the bond
call that the money be expended by Il
commission appointed for that purpose,
through a series of years.
League objects
c. D. Willard of the Municipal league
declared that the city attorney had told
him that unless some such stipulation
was made this money would como
under the jurisdiction of the board of
public works. Why Mr.. Willard OBJ
jected on behalf of the league to the
board of works handling this money
he did not state. The recommendation
was finally amended to provide that
the park and playground commission
with the city council should have the
privilege OF handling the money.
The plan is to establish small parks
and Fairgrounds for children in every
section of the city, and to as great an
extent as the money will provide.
Had the library board known in adj
vance of the open-heartednes of the
council it is entirely probable that it
would have asked for a bond issue to
provide a new library building, but
owing to the fact that the board Is
now being tried by the council on a
charge of Improperly removing Miss
Jones, the former librarian, it was
averse to asking favors Of the coun-
cilmen,

Main Allegation Is That Naval Stores

ter "turpentine trust" which is SUD.
posed to have it's headquarters in sa.

The news is that the United States
district attorney there is cooperating
with the southern district of Georgia
in this movement. It is alleged that
hard and fast agreement exists be-
tween the various constituent compa.
nies belonging to the socalled trust,
and that. the business and territory
have been divided up in regular oc-
topus fashion. It is intimated that
the tnpentine trust, socallad, is in.
fiuenced and controlled to a greater
or less degree by the Standard Oil
company
1t is known that the Standard OH
interests in the past have endeavored
to absorb the turpentine and rosin
Industries.

American Naval Stores company, just
formed from the Patterson-Downing
and S. P. Shotter companies, said
that he did not know anything about
the suggested prosecution.
"Have the companies with which
you are associated any connection
with the STANDARD oil?' Mr.. Nash was
asked.

Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great change
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance ard disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesseS which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form Of its
fairness.
