CITY PENSIONS DICK,
FAITHFUL CART HORSE
AGED ANIMAL GIVEN FREEDOM
AND FOOD
Servant of Street Department Serves
Long and PatientIy-knew Task
Well and Worked Long and Un-
IaIningly-ReveIs in Pasture

"Old Dick" rawboned roam who has
longer than any other employe, will
spend the rest of his life cropping the
soft grass of the city parks and wan
dering where he listeth on city prop
erty, while every park employee will
add to his duties that of valet to the
faithful old worker. "Old Dick was
yesterday pensioned by the city council
for the rest of his life.
Since the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary "Old Dick" has each
morning been attached to one of the
wagons of the sewer department Of the
street service. For so many years has
the old horse backed up to the same
wagon that he knew exactly what was
expected of him, and had he been left
to his own devices there are those in
the department who are ready to take
their oath that he could have hitched
himself without so much as assistance
in the buckling of strap.
Every day Dick worked eight hours
and whenever little extra labor was
demanded of a horse "Old Dick was
always the first to respond. But Dick
put in no claim for overtime. The ami
mails needs were a measure of oats, a
little hay and some clean straw in the
stable whenever it was convenient.
"Old Dick" has saved up nothing for
n rainy day. All efforts have been de-
voted to laboring for Others and the
animal was beginning to show signs of
worry whenever the question of how he
was going to pass his old age entered
his sagacious mind.
The gracious action of the city coun-
Gil has placed the old horse on Easy
street for the rest of his life, but there
are those who declare that when "Old
Dick" cannot be hitched up to his
wagon every morning and sees some
younger horse between the tugs he has
graced for so many years his old heart
will break and he will not linger long
on the bounty of the city.

Ministers Union, Having Listened, Is
Urged to Give Aid to the Y. M. c.
A. ProIect-coffee Club Scheme
to BE Pushed

Considerable amusement was created
yesterday morning at the session of the
ministers union at the Central Pres
byterian church, when Rev. T. J. Alley
from Jerusalem stated that instead Of
trolley cars he would much rather see
camels and asses on the streets, to
which Rev. A C. Smither. chairman Of
the meeting, retorted that the animals
were all here,
Rev. Robert Mcintyre then asked II
this cast any reflections on the county
supervisors.
S. r. Lynd, state superintendent Of
the California Prison associa ton asked
the corporation of the ministers in as
sisting to aid the discharged prisoners
who are turned out into the world
penniless, which request received the
appreciation Of the union.
Rev. Mr.. Mcintyre dwelt upon the
duty of the churches to be more alive
to the interests of the Young Mems
Christian association. He said:
Sometimes our churches, while quite
alive, have not done what they should
have done for the association. This
association desires to erect a building
to cost 100000 Arthur Let's, the
president, authorizes the statement that
| 5000, 900 of 1t is in sight. The associa-
| ton does not expect financial but
spiritual aid from the churches. 1t is
| the intention for the ministers to
preach one sermon year bearing up
on the welfare of the association"
Rev. Mr. Mcintyre made a plea for
the churches to reciprocate more fully
the good derived from the Y. M. c. A.,
stating that the churches had received
more from the association than they
had given in return.
c. T.. Quilian, assistant secretary of
the Y. NJ. C. A., thanked the union
in behalf of the association for its
corporation.
Mrs. Lawrence recommended the
formation of pastors leagues to assist
the pastors in the auxiliary work of
the churches. 1t was decided to meet
at some central church for further ac-
ton.
DIR. E. B. Warman made humorous
and instructive address on the Cos
lei of Health"
After the adjournment of the union
to the Y. NJ. C. A. headquarters. in
cooperation with the federation coun-
ell, the sum of $405 was raised to aid
i'm the establishment of a coffee club
in Los Angeles.
A banquet for business men will be
held February /, when subscription
will be started on the fund of $4,000
necessary to establish the coffee club
in it's prospective quarters.

WOULD WEAKEN
CITY'S ENEMIES
ATTORNEY SUGGESTS ACTION
BY COUNCIL
Moves to inform Secretary Of Interior
by Resolution That Los Angeles
Is Able to Swing Owens
River Project

According to City Attorney Mathews.
irresponsible persons are working in
Washington to cast dIscredit on this
city, and have been whispering things
to the secretary of the interior that
are not SO. Mr.. Mathews yesterday
said to the council:
II am advised that certain parties
in Washington, acting in behalf OF
interests hostile to the city's Owens
river project, have been representing
to the honorable secretary of the in
terror that the city of Los Angeles has
not the financial ability to carry out
such a project, and, therefore, that
he should not grant the request of the
city for the abandonment of the gov
ernment's reclamation project in the
Owens river valley, and the rejection
of applications by private individuals
or corporations for rights of way over
public lands for use in connection with
the waters of the Owens river.
Recommends Resolution
after consultation with members
of the chamber of commerce who are
actively assisting the city in its busi-
ness before the interior department, L
recommend that the council adopt the
resolution which here present"
The resolution of the city attorney
was unanimously adopted, as follows:
Whereas, the city of Los Angeles
has by its officers and representatives
requested the honorable secretary of
the interior to order the abandonment
of the governments reclamation project
In the Owens river valley and to deny
all applications of private individuals
or corporations now pending or here
after made for rights of way over pub
lie lands for use in connection with
the waters of the Owens river or OF
any tributary thereof; and
Whereas, 1t seems proper, in order
to justify the honorable secretary of
the interior in granting such request,
that the city council should definitely
assure him of the purpose and ability
OF the city to carry out it's project for
obtaining water supply in the Owens
river valley for municipal and domes-
tic uses within the city and for
bringing such water to the city;
City Means Business
'Now therefore be it
Resolved, That this council in con-
forming with the practically unanimous
sentiment of the people of the city
| does hereby declare it's purpose upon
completion of the plans and surveys
and the acquisition of the rights of
way necessary for such project TO
inaugurate the construction of the
works therefor, and to complete the
same at the earliest practicable date;
and
'It is hereby ordered that the city
auditor prepare from the city records
and forward through the honorable
secretary of the interior a statement
showing the financial ability of the
city to undertake and complete said
project"

TOWER MAN DERAILS CARS
Runaway Rolling Stock Come Tear
ing Down From South Pasadena
Till Wrecked

Two runaway freight cars on the
Santa Fee were derailed at Downey
avenue yesterday. and in consequence
toys and dry goods of various kinds
were scattered. The cars, it is thought
by the railroad officials, were started
at South Pasadena by small boys who
released the brakes.
The operator at Pasadena notified
the officials here to keep the track
clear, and every effort was made to
stop the cars, but to no avail, until
the tower man derailed them. Scores
of people narrowly escaped being run
over. Traffic was delayed for two
hours while the wreck was being
cleared away.

planned to the city attorney that official
told him that the ordinance was not
operative and that 1t would probably be
impossible to pass an ordinance re-
strlcting laundries.
Theodore Summerland, president OF
the council, Is threatened with Council
man Smiths affection in the Fourth
ward, and yesterday he attempted to
have the council pass an ordinance de-
filming new boundaries for laundries
send it to the city attorney" said
Councilman Smith "Tell him to find
some law concerning the case If he can,
and II he can't to make it permissible
for the man next door to a Chinese
laundry to use a shotgun. Where the law
is ineffective in such cases as this the
property owners should have the right
to take the law into their own hands"
Los Angeles herald., 1906-01-23

The shotgun remedy for Chinese
laundries which invade the best resi-
dence districts Of the city was advo-
Gated yesterday morning by Council
man Smith, whose reputation for con-
servatism is greater even than that of
Councilman Blanchard.
According to the representative Of
the Fifth ward a Chinese laundry has
been established ON Jefferson street, in
the midst Of residences costing no less
than $4,000 and $4,000, and this prop
less by the invasion of the almond-eyed
"washee- washees."
In order to prevent the establishment
of this very laundry Councilman Smith
has had the courcil pass an ordinance
defining the laundry limits. Despite
this ordinance, the laundry was built

"In short my position is this: Liquor
