BOSTON ART LEAGUERS
HONOR LOS ANGELES

THE DIRECTORS
First Time That Southern California
Gets Place on the Board-Mayor
Phean Recommends Appointment

One of the highest honors in the art

artists from the different localities and
takes a prominent part in all art sub
jects. Its special object at the pres
ent time is to secure the removal of
duty on works of art, and promotes all
works of art. Prof. Judson was recon-
mended to the position by former May
or Phelan of San Francisco.
1t is the first time in the history of
Southern California that this section
has been represented in the board OF
directors of the league. This league has
long been recognized as a leading in
stitution in art circles. 1t is felt by
local artists that the honor not only
comes to Prof. Judson, who is justly
popular, but to the locality, showing
that the east is recognizing Los Angeles
as a coming art center.
Prof. Judson, whp has exhibited
throughout this country as well as the
large galleries of Europe, has resided IN
Los Angeles the past twelve years
Eight years ago he took charge of the
art department of the University OF
Southern California, which was ther

in Garvanza, while the art department
at the university building is conducted
by graduates of the art college under
the direction of Prof. Judson.
| Prof. Judson is planning to give az
exhibition of his work. as is his annua
custom, at the art gallery of the col
lege next month. The annual reception
and exhibitions are looked forward t,
by all lovers of art with much pleasure

Concerted Effort by Churches and
Civic Organizations in Chicago
to Double Fee

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-With more civic
organizations preparing to line up in
favor Of $1,000 saloon license I'm the i'm
terest of better police protection, and
with the pulpits sounding the alarm,
four more aldermen came out yesterday
in support of the plan With eighteen
aldermen still undecided this brings the
council practically to tie on the ques-
ton All the influence of the local
churches was put forth in the sermons
OF the day I'm am effort to arouse citi-
zens to the realization of the criminal
menace which oVershadows Chicago.
The need of wiping out the 'disorderly
saloon and of raising the standard Of
responsibility among all saloon keepers
was dwelt upon. In one of the strong
est sermons of the day the Rev. w. A
Bartlett of the First Congregational
church described actual conditions in
hundreds of saloons visited by a com
mittee Of twenty-five church workers
I'm most OF the pulpits from which
this need of the hour was preached the
voters of the congregation were urged
to use their influence with their alder
men TO secure support of the ordinance
doubling the license. The power of the
liquor interests was mentioned and the
plea made that q united effort must be
set forth if the saloon opposition is to
be overcome in the council. The cam
paign for $1,000 license will become hot
ter today with the meeting of the coun-
Gil license committee to vote on the re-

PRoPosnp SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Many thousands of supposedly intel
ligent people in Los Angeles will be
surprised to learn that while they
voted for the issuance Of S7sO0OO worth
of bonds for school building purposes
and had thought they knew the specific
sections Of the city where the buildings
were to be erected. In reality they know
nothing specific about 1t.
IL will be remembered that the former
school board adopted report and
recommendation made by its building
committee, specifying the purposes to
which the proposed bond issue was TO
be applied. That report included list
of nine or ten buildings, to be located
in certain sections of the city-even
the streets being named. The former
board adopted this report unanimously
and published 1t broadcast as a cam
paign document. so that the voters
might see the exact purposes to which
the fund would be applied.
The present board of education main
tains that 1t is not bound by the afore-
said document and that so long as the
bond money is employed in the con-
structlon of school buildings in gem
eral the number, size and location of
such buildings Is wholly at the discre-
ton of the board. This contention is
based on the fact that the bond or
dinance itself does not give a detailed
list of the buildings to be erected, but
only provides that a certain sum shall
be set aside for school building pur-
poses. In face of the bond ordinance
itself it is probable that the board of
education is legally right in this con-
tention, but. being composed of hon
orable gentlemen, it may yet take up
the published list, on moral grounds.
and make the money go as far as it
will in the direction whence the people
supposed they were voting it. If not,
there will be great discomfort and dis
satisfaction, for it is certain that votes
were obtained for the bond issue upon
what appeared to be specific promises
of school buildings in certain sections
and on certain streets. 1t was a de-
tailed report and recommendation by
the building committee, unanimously
adopted by the board and sent out to
the voters as information and argu-
ment showing why the bonds should
DE voted.

CHICAGO UNABLE TO

Aid in Relieving the Present Con-
gestion
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Feb 5.-Chicago, with
enc of the finest postoffice buildings in
the entire country, is utterly unable
to handle it's mail business. For the
first time in four years the full force
of 800 clerks in the mailing division
was required to work yesterday to re-
lieve the congestion that has clogged
the machinery since February /.
Although the clerks have been work.
ing from ten to twelve hours a day,
hundreds of bags of mail are left I'M
distributed each night. Important mail
for business houses is hours late in
being received and sent out, and com
plants about the inadequate service
have been piling up in Postmaster
Buses room for several days.
Pneumatic tubes in the new postof-
fees, which cost $120,000Sto install, are
practically useless because there are
rot enough clerks to take the mail
promptly to them and they are idle
much of the time.
Machinery in the new building which
cost 100000 is also proving more of a
hindrance than benefit because it re-
quires quite number of clerks to oper-
ate it, and that number has been taken
from the regular force, which was in
adequate before.
While the government officials a.
washington are aware OF the condl-
tons, they have said that Chicago can
not expect relief before July 1, when
next years appropriation becomes
available.
Tomorrow Postmaster Busse will
leave for Washington to make one
more appeal for more help. Ten days
ago he was told by First Assistant
Postmaster Hitchcock that Chicago
would have to get along as best it
could, because the last congress had
enacted a law making the heads of de-
