STUDENTS RESENT EDICT
EORBIDDING CLASS RUSHES

next to funk" that can befall a high
school class
But this dire threat scarcely suficed
to restrain some of the more impetuous
ones. Several members Of the younger
class, commonly known as the "chil-
dren," were in favor Of rlsklng the loss
Of a class day so far in the future and
taking the pleasure Of a rush now.
They fondly hoped that by the time
February came the faculty would have
forgotten their misdeed and would per-
NIT them to have their exercises. It
took all the authority Of their class
teacher to keep them in check. and even
yet the new rule hangs by very slen-
der thread.
But however much the pupils may
dislike the direct ukase, It seems to
meet with universal approval from
their parents. In fact, they are reioic-
ing Like the unnatural mothers in
the poem
"Old Grimes took sick and died:
His son removed the cellar door
on which we used to slide;
This made our mothers laugh with glee,
For our pantaloons we tore,
When Billy Brown and slid down
Old Grimes's cellar door"
Rushes Cause Danger
Parents who have a foolish regard for
their children's limbs are actually APP
pleuding the step Professor Housh has
taken this year to suppress the semi
annual rough house."
Last year when the higher class at
tempted to force an entrance into an
under class meeting door was taken
off its hinges, a mirror broken, and
dozens of sore boys with torn trousers
marked the end of the melee. on an
other occasion two classes met in the
clock tower. The clock hasn't run
since.
And so, with the weight of parental
opinion backing the edict the high
school boy must turn sadly away with
the words, Vale, vale, ct aeternum
vale o rough house"

WANT ASSESSMENT RETUR RNED
Western Union Claims City Has No
Legal Right to Tax Its United
States Franchise

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany yesterday petitioned the council
to return taxes TO the amount OF $12O
which this company had been compelled
to pay on its franchise.
The telegraph company claims that
its franchise was granted by the United
States government and that the city
has no right to assess it. Nevertheless
City Assessor Lewis placed the value
of the franchise I'm this city at $4,000,
and the $12O was paid under protest.
The petition was referred to the city
attorney for his opinion

Pumping Plant SUGGESTED

The city may construct another water
pumping plant in the southern section
of the city. Superintendent Mulhol-
land told of the great benefit derived
from the plant on Slauson avenue, and
suggested that a similar plant be built
at the foot of Figueroa street, where
large amount of water can be pro-
cured at depth Of about ten feet.
The cost, including pipe, would not be
as great as that of the Slua son avenue
plant, which was about $50, O0O The
superintendent was instructed to make
further investigations as to the FEAST
bility of purchasing several lots in that
vicinity for the purpose named
The superintendent suggested that
arrangements be made for next years
supply of castron pipes, which will
amount. according to present estimates,
to about $160,0OO. Three big firms have
written the board regarding next years
supply, whereas only one asked for
bids last year, and as a result the
board believes that next years supply
can be secured at a lower figure.

M|SS|NG c HUSBAND
FOUND IN ASYLUM
WIFE FEARS FOR SAFETY OF
SON
Man Left for Oregon With Boy but
Got No Further Than Highland,
Where He Was Sent by the
Insanity Commission

Mrs. Edward like yesterday learned
that her husband, who has been miss
ing since early summer and whom she
thought was in Oregon, is now in the
asylum for the insane at Highland
where he was placed the latter part of
August. She has not, however. learned
of the wherea bouts of her 15-year-old
son, who accompanied his father at the
time he left home.
like had left home, presumably to
hunt work in Oregon but until the
present news of his Incarceration in
the asylum for the insane was received
by Mrs. Zike. she has heard nothing
at all concerning him.
Tried Before Judge Gibbs
like was tried before the board of
insanity commissioners in Judge Gibbs
court early in August. having been
found in a demented condition and
claiming to possess fabulous riches.
At the time of his appearance before
the insanity commissioners like stated
that his wife lived in Los Angeles, but
that he did not know where she was,
owing TO the fact that she had changed
her name Mrs. like says there was no
truth in such a statement. and attrib-
utes it to the mans arrangement.
like said nothing whatever about
his son, who had been with him, and
this Increases the concern of the
mother who fears some awful disaster
has befalen him. Mrs. like is pre-
pairing to visit the asylum where her
husband is kept, with the intention of
questioning him regarding her son.

RENTAL
OF WATER METERS
COMMISSION CUTS PRICE TO
RESIDENCES
Laborers in Water Department De.
mand an Increase Of Wages and
Special Committee viii In
Vestisste Before Acting

Loud and long-contlnued complaints
on the part of renters of small water
meters against the minimum price Of
81 per month for each meter has had its
effect.
AT the meeting of the board of water
commissioners yesterday Superintend-
cnt Mulholland submitted a report ia
vorng q new scale of prices for water
meters. lie urged the following: Five
cighths and quarter inch meters
or those usually installed i'm residences,
IS cents per month; one-inch, 81; two
inch, So; three-ihch, So. ...
The report was adopted and a COM
munication was ordered sent to the
council asking that it amend the
ordinance to accord with this scale of
prices.
Laborers Demand Increase
Laborers employed by the water
board to the number of about 1875 have
caught the raise-in-wages fever that
has spread among the city forces, and
yesterday they sent request to the
water board asking that the wages of
laborers receiving 50 per day be in
creased to $2.25, and those above 81
in the same ratio.
Several members of the boa rd thought
that inasmuch as the wages of om-
ployes in other departments of the city
had been raised it would not be out of
order to advance the wages of the wa
ter depart ment's men. They decided to
refer the question to a special commit
tee.
The question of civil service regula-
tions to apply to the owens river
project again came up. superintendent
Mulholland read a lengthy communica-
tion he had written to the civil service
commission. in which he stated that
owing to the great scarcity of labor in
every line throughout the United States
and the fact that exeprts in all branches
would be required in the construc-
tion of the work, it would be alb
solutely impossible TO enforce he civil
service regulations in respect to this
work. Tt was urged that the charter
be amended to exempt civil service reg
ulations from city work done outside
the city limits, as is the case in other
large cities.
