WOULD COMPROMISE ON
PAYMENT OF MUSICIANS
AUDITOR THINKS DEMANDS OF
WALKER TOO HIGH
City Accuses Band Contractor of Try
ing to Defraud by Means of
Padded orders-Each Player to
Be Paid in Person

City Auditor Schwaebe has agreed 10
compromise the demands for bands on
Fourth of July by paying each mem
Der of a band the contract price for
his services for that day on the
presentation of an order for the
amount by the musician in person. A.
Lincoln Walker, the man whom the
auditor accuses of trying to defraud
the city by padded orders for the
bands, will present a claim of 500
against the city for his services in Sc
curing the bands. This demand will
have to be acted on by the finance
committee and the city council, and
there seems little prospect that Mr..
Walker will be paid the amount he
asks.
The city council voted $500 for bands
for the various parks for the Fourth of
July. Mr.. Walker asked the park
commission for permission to secure
these bands and claims that DR.. w. A.
Lamb of the commission and Mayor
McAleer told him to go ahead al
though nothing was said about Mr..
Walkers remuneration.
the bands to the auditor Wednesday
morning but Mr., Schwaebe claimed
the demands called for more money
than the bandmen had contracted for
and refused to pay them. When Mr..
Schwaebe questioned Mr.. Walker
closely he admitted that he expected
to make a bonus of $50 as pay for his
services.

HELP! POLICE! DOCK HOUGHTON
Is NOW PENETRATING POETRY

Sixth Ward Public Ownership league
loaned q screen to the club rooms when
they were located at Central and
Adams. Dock Houghton induced the
club to move near the corner of Cen
tral and Fourteenth street, and in the
process of moving Welsh's screen was
lost. But II was not lost to fame, for
the Dock has handed that screen down
to posterty in the following manner:
John Welsh thought he was potentate
or sixth ward league serene,
He loaned to Sixth ward league one day
nifty parlor screen.
"The banquet board he ruled one day
With far too naughty mien.
Endangertng the existence of
His zephyr stopping screen.
Then bloody revolution came
And back Of hall | ween,
Mid crash o warning hosts was lost
OT Johnnie s little screen.
THE brc-a -brac his fathers was,
He thus explains his spleen.

In finding Johnnie's screen,
He'll need II to cover himself and Hay

ACCEPT PIONEER PARK;
Reject DOCKS CACTl
NONE OF HoUGHTON GIFTS FOR
MAYOR M'ALEER
Values Collection at $4,000, but Donor
Prefers to See 1t in Public
Park, Where He Can Have Access
to 1t

At the next meeting of the park COM
mission the tract of land offered by j.
Harvey Mccarthy to the city as a park
will be accepted, but the commission
will refuse to accept Dock Houghton' S
collection of cacti to place in the park.
The park which Mr. Mccarthy
wants to give the city comprises eight
acres on Stephenson avenue in Boyle
Heights, between Pioneer drive and
Fresno street
Most of the land forms a wooded
ravine, and it is on account of the mag
nificent trees in the park that Mayor
McAleer refuses to have Dock Housh-
tons cacu used to form a sunken gar
den. This is the reason the mayor
gives, but the wide breach between
the councilman from the Sixth and
the chief executive is believed to be
the real reason
1t is claimed the mayor does not
propose to assist in anything that will
place Houghton in a good light before
the public.
Houghton values his cacti collection
at 100000 and yesterday was offered a
good round sum for it by a local busi-
ness man, who wants the collection to
adorn his Hollywood home. Houghton
is reluctant to sell it, but would like to
donate it to the city, so that he would
have free access to it whenever he
pleased
The mayor and the park commission
drove out to the new park which will
be known as Pioneer park, Yesterday
morning. following the regular session
of the park commission. They were
well pleased with the land.

CLARK HURRIES
TO FA|RV|EW
SENATOR LEAVES HASTILY FOR
NEVADA
Mining Men Interested In Quick De-
parture Of Maenate-Others Talk
of Expected Boom In the
Saeebrush State

Rumors about hotel corridors yester-
day indicate that another big strike
has been made in Falrview, Nev one
of the richest and most recently dis
covered mining camps in the gold laden
sagebrush state.
The sudden departure of Senator w.
A. Clark yesterday for the Nevada
mining country is said to be in response
to calls in that part Of the country
from his agents.
The copper king left on the $3.50
o'clock train yesterday afternoon. and
1t Is supposed that he is headed for
Fairview, New.
So urgent was Senator Clark's de-
parture that he was una bic to remain
long enough to attend the meeting of
the directors of the Salt Lake railroad
last night.
Several mining men of note who have
been visiting in Los Angeles for the
past few weeks have left Los Angeles
since Sunday and gone to Nevada.
Stock exchange operators take this as
an indication that the prophesied boom
for Nevada for this fall will come at
the close of the summer. Mining men
at present In Los Angeles say that they
are looking every day for a sudden rise
in the market.
Walter G. Cox, president of the in
vestment company by the same name,
accompanied by his private secretary
and chauffeur, James H. Burch, left Los
Angeles on the Owl last night for Ha-
zen, New. Mr.. Cox's big Rambler toup-
ing car was also shipped to Nevada
May Be Big Development
Hazen is the present terminus of the
railroad by which Fairview is reached.
From Hazen the distance to Fairview
must be staged
When asked about his mission to
FairView Mr.. Cox refused to discuss it,
beyond saying that he was merely goin g
on a trip through Nevada of indefinite
duration.
II have heard that Fairview is show
ing up in pretty good shape said Mr..
Cox when seen at the Hotel Alexandria
yesterday afternoon. Yes it is true
that several strikes have been reported
recently, but l can't give particulars
at present"
To local mining men Mr.. Cox is
known as plunger He is heavily in
terested in mining property throughout
the state of Nevada. His sudden de-
parture from the city yesterday is re-
garded as an indication of possible
sensational developments within the
next few weeks.
b. j. Reilly, the well known Million
aire miner who recently came to Los
Angeles for the first time and pur-
chased a handsome home in Ocean
Park, said yesterday that he had re-
ceived messages from his agents in
FairView of a strike made there a few
days ago. Mr.. Reilly, it is said is pre-
pairing to leave for New York city and
Philadelphia in a few days. Mr.. Reilly
would not state yesterday what the
nature of his mission to either of these
cities would be.

STORY AMUSES
CITY ASSESSOR
GAS C0MPANY'S STATEMENT
ANALYZED
Taxation Figures Based on Actual
Values and Not Speculative Prices
of Land-No Reduction
Is Asked

City Assessor Evan Lewis was toer-
antly amused at scare head story in
an evening paper yesterday, in which
an effort was made to cast reflection on
his assessment figures by showing that
he had apparently placed the valuation
of the Los Angeles Gas and Electric
company too low.
1t was asserted that the gas COM
pany had made a sworn statement in
January for the benefit of the city
council when the time for fixing pub
lie utility rates came and that this
sworn statement of the assets of the
company showed $6,662, 274.S9 The as
sessed value Is computed at $4,000, ,567
The sworn statement of the gas COM
pany is still on file and shows the fig
ures quoted but it also shows other
things that Mr.. Lewis has taken into
account in making up his assessment.
This is that the figures in the sworn
statement of the gas company include
everything that has been done to the
property since its organiza ton. Many
improvements have been made. Others
have been discarded, torn down or dis
posed of in some other manner.
Uses Real Values
The land figuring in the statement
is given as its speculative value, while
in this as in all cases, the assessor has
figured land at it's real value and has
placed an assessment of so per cent on
the real value.
A large part of the plant that figures
in the sworn statement has been torn
down and replaced by new improve
ments. The discarded part of the plant
and the new Improvements all figure
in the sworn statement, while the as
SCISSOR has only been able to assess the
real value Of the present Improvements.
All this has been taken into consider
alton by Assessor Lewis in making up
his figures, and, according to him, ex-
plains the discrepancy between the
sworn statement made in January and
the assessed value of the property
There is ! D expectation on the part of
Mr.. Lewis, nor of the members of the
board of equalization, that any change
will be made in these figures. The gas
so far. has made no effort to
have a reduction made, and after Mr.
Lewis explanation the members of the
board of equalization are satisfied that
his figures show the proper value for
assessment.
