HOW Los ANGELES
TAKES ARBOR DAY
Whole City Enthusiastically
Helps to Render Day
Memorable.
ALL ORGANIZATIONS AND
Schools Will Participate in Making
the Angel City Beautiful
to Behold.
ALL ORGANIZATIONS AND

Los Angeles, Cal, March 16.-Arbor
day is observed here today with more
than the usual enthusiasm. The orig.
inal date for the Tree Planting day
is March II, but that day falling on
a Saturday, II was considered better
to change the date because 1t would
be far mere difficult to bring the
children together for the purpose OF
celebrating on Saturday, when the
schools are closed. For weeks the
various patriotic and other organiza.
tions of the city had been preparing
for the day and the committees held
frequent sessions to arrange every de-
tail Of the exercises. The citizens
warmly supported the efforts of the
societies and the result Is that today's
celebration is more general than it
ever was before. The principal exer-
cises and the parade of the school
children and civic organizations will
be held in the afternoon.
The various Grand Army posts of
the city, the women's auxiliaries. the
numerous improvement associations,
Sons and Daughters of the Pioneers
or California, WOman's Hindoo-Amer-
lean society, the Child Study circles
and many other organizations will
take part in the exercises in the vari-
Gus parks. The principal tree-plant-
ing exercises will be at Elysian park
and Central park. In accordance with
a suggestion by Mrs. WillOughby Rod
man, who is at the head of the Out
door Art section, many men and wom-
en- wear carnations In their button
holes or belts. Many children are
adorned in the same manner.

Bringing in the Dead.

Shortly before noon, a train ar
rived with the bodies of sixteen of
the dead. They were taken to an un-
dertaking establishment where the
work of Identification was begun. AT
noon it was said that only two more
bodies, those of Engineer Cosslett and
Engineer Hollis had been identified
The bodies are so blackened with the
fire as to make Identification difficult.
How many more bodies are at the
scene of the wreck it is impossible to
determine at this hour. 1t can be
stated positively that sixteen were
killed and thirtyfour injured.
One of the peculiar features was
that Of the Hewitt family. Out of a
family of eleven only two escaped.
The others were burned to a crisp.
During the progress of the flames, one
man was seen hanging from a car
window. For Gods sake, save mel
he cried, but the heat was too intense
for the rescuers to reach him. Slowly
he roasted to death before the crowd
around him.

RATHER OLD FOR A
REGULAR DRUNKARD.

Washington. ID. c., March 16-Bar-
ney Hughes, now in the district Jail
under a short sentence of imprison-
menJ for drunkenness. is celebrating
his lOSth birthday today. The keeper
of the jail has permitted the old man
TO enjoy special privileges in honor
of his birthday and Hughes is com.
paratiyely happy. Many persons have
sent him gifts of money and delica-
cies. Hughes was found guilty Of
habitual drunkenness by jury in
Justice Barnard's court about two
weeks ago and, Notwithstanding his
bold assertion, that he had not touch
ed drop Of liquor for seven years,
the old man was found guilty and sent
to Jail to sober up. Hughes remem-
bers the war OF 1912 with great dis
tlnctness.

did HE SOAK
HUNTINGTON?

From the best information OBJ
tainable the rumor that there had
been a shaking up" of some Of
the officials of the Washington
Water Power company was not al
together unfounded. The "shak-
ing up" was not what the public
thought 1t was and was confined
to one or two of the principal Of
ficers of the company. 1t has leak.
ed out that lively row took
place between General Manager
Huntington and superintendent
Lumsden over the placing of no.
tees in the cars asking the pub
lie to act as "spotters" for the
local monopoly and report any in.
fraction of certain rules by EN-.
ployes. The posting of the notices
was bitterly resented by the men
who claimed it was unjust as it
gave anyone who might have fan
cied a grievance against an en-
ploye the right to secure his dis
charge by reporting him to the
officers of the company. Superin-
tendent Lumsden is said to have
demonstrated with General Mana.
ger Huntington in a manner that
led to blows. The general mana
ger is said to have come out of
the melee considerably the worse
for wear and tear. The action of
Lumsden has increased his popu.
larity with the employees of the
company and the public generally.
The rumor that Mr.. Huntington
had resigned seems to be nothing
more than that he got licked.
Lumsden still holds his job, ac-
cording to last accounts. The car
notices have been removed.

and was not by any means what
the council wanted.
In addition to this it Is charged
that Fanning's figures on expendi-
lures made for the new water.
works did not include charges
specified above that were provided
for in the ordinance and the orig
inal estimate of cost.
Councilman Pratt bases his cal
culations on figures submitted by
the engineers Office and checked
off against the waterworks or
dinance.
Fanning's report showed the
waterworks expenditure to be we'll
within the appropriation available
from the $46O,OO0 netted by the
bond issue and premium. Pratt
figures that $4,000 that should be
charged, as specified above, was
not included in that report.
Just lately $500 was trans
ferred from the general fund to
the water fund by request of the
engineers office. Not including
that Pratt figures that the water
fund now contains about $4,000.
The embankment specifications
have not been fulfilled, and 1t is
estimated that $4,000 more will be
required to do that work. The
city has already expended $500 ex-
ira for re-surfacing the bottom of
the reservoir so that it will hold
water.
The council took no further &C.
ton than to refer the matter to
the committee of the whole, which
probably means that it is buried.

We have Mr.. Pratt's worthless

extending 1orth on Monroe ST. tn
Gardner av. has not been laid as
originally estimated, when Mr..
Pratt knows that it was not the in
tention, nor was it provided in the
detailed estimate approved by the
city council, to lay any such pipe.
The city council erred in pass
ing an ordinance that did not
agree with the detailed estimate
and plans. This ordinance at
tempted to specify upon which
streets pipes should be laid ac-
cording to the plans and estimate,
while the plans and estimates pro-
vide an entirely different construc-
ton. The system was put in ac-
cording to the plans and estimates
and any contention by Mr.. Pratt
that the ordinance should be fol-
lowed is absurd.

have any respect to property
rights or who did not care how
many men were thrown out of en-

The course pursued by the car

have indicated by the alliance

1t was also realized that much
of the troubles of the alliance

The following statement from
the city engineers Office was fur
nished today by A. F. Gill In reply
to Councilman Pratt:
Mr.. Pratt's contention that Mr..
Fanning's report on the extern
sion to the new water system was
based on false information furnish
ed by the engineers Office is Meth
er fair to the engineers office or
creditable to the intelligence Of
this eminent engineer, whose
world wide reputation stands
sponsor for the good workmanship
and stability of our water works
system, now nearing completion.
Mr.. Tanning not only approves
and commends the entire work
and states that the people will be
pleased with the new wate works
system, but submits tabulated
statements to show that that por-
tion of the work specified when
the plans and specifications were
adopted have been completed
within the estimated cost SUBJ
mitted by him and approved ~
the city council, thereby vindiSdt-
ing the day-labor plan employed
on this work.
Mr.. Pratt's statement that 26,-
672 feet of 80 inch steel main was
all that was laid Is gross false
hood manufactured by himself.
In support of this l submit here
with certificate of the Union iron
works, who furnished the pipe.
