Senator Patterson amazed his Dem.
ocratic colleagues in the senate last
week by making speech in support
OF the presidents policy in regard 70
the Moroccan conference and the
treaty with San Domingo. The latter
policy is what induced Tillmar to
make mis- diatribe a short time ago.
and Teller TO lament over the at.
tempted usurpation by the president
OF prerogatives that do not belong TO
him. Guess Patterson has his ear to
the ground this time.

BIRTH OF A

How the New Star Was Ad-

Amidst Dramatic Scenes OklahO-

WaSnlu8tOni June H. Inc
House this afternoon, without
division, without q dissenting
voice and in less than fifteen
minutes, adopted the conference
report. But while the matter
was disposed Of with this expedi-
tion the act itself was attended
by such circumstances as made
a fitting climax to the long strug-
gle. They came about unex-
pectedly, as all dramatic scenes
must.
No one looked for more than a
per functory proceeding. The
decision had been made last
Monday and it but remained for
the House to ratify what a few
men had agreed to. For that
reason the act itself had been
deferred until 5 o'clock. All
day the House had YEARLY been
considering the prosy items of
the sundry civil appropriation
bill as a committee of the whole.
at that hour, as per agreement,
the committee rose" Mr..
Watson reported to the Speaker,
who then ascended the rOstrum
and stated that the committee
had under consideration the
sundry civil bill, but it had come
to no resolution.
"Mr. Speaker" 1t was Mr..
Hamilton, the chairman of the
Committee on Territories, who
arose.
Mr.. Hamilton reported the
conference report ON the state
hood bill, but before demanding
the previous question on it's adj
option yielded five minutes to
Mr.. Moon of Tennessee, the
minority member of the House
cOnferees.
Mr.. Moon briefly told why the
Democrats had opposed the first
proposition that had assented to
the bill now before the House.
Then Mark Smith, Delegate
Arizona, big, rugged, typical Of
the West, demanded recognition.
There was much conmotiOn in
the House, many members were
repaid, for the scene which fol-
lowed has seldom been witness
ed.
Mr.. Smith had been fighting
valiantly to save Arizona from
an enforced union with New
Mexico. All the power of the
House organization, all the in
lluence Of the Presidency had
been arrayed against him. The
moment had come which measur-
ably realized his hope.

Redpath was 20 years old. He had
suffered for some time with poor health
and came to the coast thinking no
might be benefited by the climate here.

might visit Los Angeles she decided TO

WANT LATERALS IN CONTRACT
Sewer Men Say Property Owners Can
Get Their Connections Cheaper
by New Plan

If the proposal made by body Of
contractors to the board of public works
is adopted a change will be made in the
rules governing the construction of
sewers.
The proposition was to the effect that
the laterals or lot connections shall be
made a part of the contract, and that
the requirement be made that the con-
nections with the sewer be taken to
the curb line of each lot.
The advantages claimed by the con-
tractors for the innovation We're that
the work could be done more cheaply
than If each lateral had to be laid under
u separate contract with the property
owner The sewer would also be ready
for a separate contract with the prop
erty owner. The sewer would also be
ready for connection with the properties
as soon as buildings We're placed
thereon.

TO MARK BUSINESS STREETS
Spring and Main Will Have Signs
Like Those on Broad

Street signs such as are now placed
on Broadway will be put up on Spring
and Main streets by the action of the
board Of public works yesterday The
signs upon the latter two streets have
been allowed to deteriorate until at
the present time many of the cross
streets are not marked at all. This con-
dition will be remedied as soon as the
order issued yesterday is put into eff
feet. The board of public works was
authorized to take action i'm regard
to the street signs several weeks ago
by the council. No action was taken,
however, until yesterday.
The contract for placing the signs
was awarded to the Pacific Sign and
Enamel company. Two signs will be
placed at each street intersection.

SPECIAL ORDINANCE NEEDED
Board of Public Works Recommends
Action to Permit of Connec-
tions with Sewer

In order that connections may be
the properties adjoining, special or
dinance will have to be passed by the
council. The board of public works
yesterday recommended such an ordi-
nance.
1t is considered advisable to lay the
sewer laterals before the street Is
paved. The property owners also desire
to use one chimney" for every two
lot connections. No protest will be made
by the city engineer and it is believed
that the property owners will be al
lowed to do as they desire.
Work on the Pico street sewer is pro-
crossing at the rate of about 200 feet
a day. More than eight miles of sewer
pipe will be laid before the sewer is
complete.
