MEMBERS NOT IN VAIN
NEW EDIFIcE TO BE ERECTED
AT COST OF $4,000
Expected That Boyle Heights Christian
Church VIII Be Ready for Occu-
pancy Within a Short Time-Many
Converts of Late

The new church building of the Boyle
Heights Christian church, for which
the pastor and members have labored
for some time, is soon to be realized.
The church lot, near the corner of
Second and Chicago streets. has been
sold and new site, greatly superior
to the former, has been secured at the
corner of Second and Breed streets.
Work on the new church building, in
tabernacle form, will soon be COM
menced. 1t will cost about $4,000 and
have a seating capacity of about 500.
A Sunday school room will be in
cluded. The lot was secured for $2500.
The church was reorganized about
two years ago, Rev. w. Martin, the
pastor, having been called a little more
than year ago. Since the coming of
Rev. Martin the congregation has been
largely increased, eleven new members
being received during the past two
weeks. The various church societies
are in a Furnishing condition, the
Ladies' Aid society having donated
$500 for the new building.
1t is expected that the final rally of
the Sunday schools to be conducted by
the Christian churches of Southern Cal
ifornia during April will mark the
dedication of the new church building.
Rev. and Mrs. Martin have recently
moved to 2618 East Second street, near
the new site.

PLUCKS THORNE
FROM ITS SIDE
ASSESSORS OFFICE is RID OF
OFFENDER
Civil Service Commission Strikes
Name of Man Charged With Graft.
ing From the List of City
Employees

1t took the civil service commission
less than one minute yesterday even
ing to decide that r. E. Thorne, whose
name is on the eligible list, was guilty
of conduct unbecoming a city employe
and to strike his name off the records.
Thorne had been a deputy assessor
and held the position long enough to
learn the ropes at the city hall. 1t
is alleged that early in December he
and a man who gives his name as j.
A. Olds visited several merchants and
representing themselves as from the
auditors office refunded over-assess-
ments on taxes, paying less than the
correct amounts and collecting the ex-
cess from the auditor for their per-
sonal use.
The case had been postponed several
times by the civil service commission
at Thorne's request but when it came
to trial last evening Thorne was not
present. The commission decided to
take testimony anyhow.
Frank Simpson of the produce firm
of Simpson e. Hack was the first wit
ness examined. He testified that
Thorne and Olds had come to his Of
flee February and informed him that
he had a rebate of $16.4O coming to him
on overpaid taxes and if he would
sign a receipt they would turn over
the money. Mr.. Simpson was a little
suspicious and asked them where they
were from and If the amount they Of
fered was all that was coming to him.
He declares they assured him they
were from the auditors office and were
not holding back any of the money.
He later learned he should have re-
ceived $2S.18 and that the full amount
had been collected by Thorne and Olds.
l. s. Richards, manager of the Pa
cific Coast Biscuit company, on whom
the scheme had been worked, gave
equally damaging testimony and de-
clared that as soon as the city COM
mission was through with Thorne he
would take the case before the federal
authorities. Thorne now is in the gov
ernment service as an extra mail clerk
and Mr.. Richards vowed he would
have him discharged from this place
and he might finish up with a GRIM
inal action.

.PARDEE MOVES IN
MYSTERIOUS WAY
AVOIDS GOVERNOR MEAD BY
LEAVING THE CITY
"Whichness of the Whyfore" Not Un-
derstood by Los Angeles Citizens,
Who Had Extended to Him
Welcome

Governor George c. Pardee, who was
q guest at the Lankersnim hotel Thurs
day and who addressed the annual
banquet at the Union League club
Thursday night, left Los Angeles hur-
riedly yesterday morning on the Shore
Line limited. Despite his rush the state
executive almost missed his train from
over sleeping.
Citizens of Los Angeles have been
mystified by the speech which Cow
ernor Pardee made at the banquet of
the Union League, and the con-
Trajectory statements which he made
in an interview with a Herald report
er. Some have even gone so far as to
predict that it was iii order to avoid ar
explanation that Governor Pardee
made his hurried exit from Los An
geles yesterday morning.
No other motive can be assigned to
Governor Pardee's hasty departure.
When he first arrived in Los Angeles
On Wednesday night he stated that he
did not know how long he would re-
main here. He merely explained that
he was here to attend the banquet
given by the Union League But Gov
ernor Pardee had also received
cordial invitation to address the BAN
quet to be given tonight in the cham
ber of commerce to the three hundred
to this city, accompanied by Albert
e. Mead, governor of Washington.
Governor Mead expressed himself as
being delighted with the prospect of
meeting Governor Pardee and hearing
his address to the Washingtonians on
the night of the banquet.
So far as is known no personal ami
mostly exists between Governor Pardee
and Governor Mead. But Governor
Pardee refused to accept the invitation
of the members of the chamber Of
commerce with practically no explana-
tions.
Thursday night when he retired
Governor Pardee left orders with the
clerk to be called in time to catch the
Shore Line limited. At 7:15 the
executive had not appeared and the
clerks began to believe that Governor
Pardee had changed his mind and had
decided to remain over to attend the
banquet to the Washingtonians.
A few minutes later Governor Pardee
came hurriedly down stairs, paid his
bill quickly and was taken to the Ar
cade station in a carriage. He had only
a moments margin when he arrived at
the station.

there are between four and five hun.

right to cut timber there for their

has been selling timber from his claim,
