COSTLY JADE BOOK
CATALOGUE WHICH COST OVER
100000 TO PREPARE.
Most Magnificent Work Ever Pub
lished--Product of the Efforts
and Munihcence Of Heber
n. Bishop.

In this age of books with the print
Ing and binding processes so much
cheaper than years ago, il seems all
most impossible for an edition OF any
work to cost over $1,000 per volume.
but snch Is the case with the cata-
logues printed for the lIeber r. Bishop
collection OF jades, now on exhibition
in the Metropolitan Museum OF Art.
Mr. Bishop owned one OF the most
superb collections OF jade objects in
the whole world. He had ransacked
China and the whole east IN his search
for jade ornaments OF art value Be
fore his death. Mr.. Bishop gave this
collection 10 the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. In addition. he donated "a
large sum to ut ny an appropriate room
for the Installation OF the collection.
The northeast room OF the second floor
OF the museum building has been fitted
up for the suitable exhibition of the
jade. This room VIII be known as
Bishop hall. The greatest decorators
of Paris were brought over to make
the room the most splendid example
on this continent of the style of Louis
XIV Fifteen cases of gilt bronze and
plate glass hold the jade objects.
But the jades collection itself is
hardly more beautiful than the cata
iogue describing the collection There
are Just 100 copies of the catalogue
printed in two volumes. The cata-
logue has Just been finished and bound.
Two copies have been placed in the
right and the other copies viii soon
be on their way to the crowned heads
of Europe and Asia and to the libraries
and museums selected as recipients of
the wonderful work. Even the
crowned heads to receive copies will
be limited to six In 30 case will the
catalogue go to a private individual.
and in no event will 1t be sold
1t has taken 20 years TO prepare and
print this catalogue. For great
part of that time Mr. Bishop himself |
directed the work. and his will be- |
queathed plenty of money TO complete |

RED MARS RELIGI0N
ToRMs OF WORSHIP OF THE
AMERICAN INDIANS.
But Few Whites Ever Permitted to
View His Peculiar Ceremonies--
The Prayers Of the zunis
and Moquis.

However intimate the white man may
become with the Indian. he is rarely
able to discover his religious belief. or
permitted to witness his ceremonial
worship.
In his wild state the Indians native
theology seems confined to dim con-
ception of divine. all powerful being,
and to belief in future state in which
many desirable material things will be
enjoyed.
This apparently common belief among
the wild. wandering tribes seems to be
held also by those domiciled in towns.
The zuni Pueblos of New Mexico. and
the Moquis of Arizona, among whom
ceremonial worship is OF somewhat fire.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-29

attend it in thorough knowledge of
the science, system or art it intended
to teach. The act confides to the board
OF examiners the right and duty of
determining for itself by what standard
the course of instruction given in any
particular college shall be measured:
1t is left to the judgment alone of the
board of examiners to determine when
they shall recognize college and when
not, and in this particular is attempted
to be delegated powers which the leg
1slature has not the right under the
constitution to confer. The act leaves
1t to the board of examiners to legis-
late for themselves just what the quail
itications of college shall be to entitle
1t to be recognized by them. The leg
lslature might perhaps have provided
that graduates of a school or college
having a certain prescribed course of
given number of years and of good
repute should be admitted by the
board of examiners; this they have not
done; the privilege of taking an ex-
animation to test his or her proficiency
is also denied the student by the terms
of the act. The last mentioned OBJ
lection has nothing to do, however,
with the main question just discussed.
The act appears to be clearly uncon-
stitutional and If this conclusion is
correct the board of examiners have
no functions to perform and therefore
none to be directed by the writ sought

be sustained and a Judgment of dis

legislative power in the hands of tbs
members of the board.
1t was then charged by the Los An
geles College of Osteopathy that three
members or controlling number OF
the state board of examiners were in
terested in the Pacific College of Oste-
opathy and that they were being leg
islated against by these men.
In that line of argument the Los An
geles college and twenty-seven of its
graduates banded together and filed a
suit for mandamus to compel the state
board TO recognize the graduates as
graduates from a good college of oste-
opathy and the state board filed a
demurrer to the mandamus proceed
ings on the ground that there was a
misjoinder of parties and corporation
and that therefore the plaintiffs were
entitled to no relief, and Judge James
sustained the demurrer and knocked
out the suit, but in so doing declared
a victory for the plaintiffs.
Attacks Constitutionality
According to Judge James ruling the
state board has no power and any
graduate of a regularly Incorporated
school of osteopathy has right to
practice without any examination or
certificate of the board for, constitu-
tionally, the board has ceased to exist.
During the hearing of the case the
attorneys fought shy of the constitu-
tionality of the law. but Judge James
in his decision places the fight between
the two schools as a secondary con-
sideration and goes directly at the law,
as follows:
"The act of the legislature, under
which the state board of osteopathic
examiners was appointed, was passed
by the legislature in 1901. This act
provides that said board shall consist of
five members who shall be qualified
osteopaths and graduates of legally
authorized colleges of osteopathy. II
is then provided;
Said board shall hold meetings for
examination at the state capital, or at
some regularly conducted and legally
authorized college of osteopathy within
the state and shall issue a cer-
tifcate of qualification to all appli-
cants having a diploma or who pass
the required examinations, as provided
by section of this act.
Section 4 of the act provides as fol-
lows:
1T shall be unlawful for any person
to practice osteopathy In this state
license from said board. All
persons practicing osteopathy within
this state prior to the passage of this
act and holding a diploma from a
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-29

furnished were not sufficient, but upon
the general principle Of gas regulation
am thoroughly in accord with any
ordinance which seeks to attain that
end.
II am convinced that the city charter
contemplates that the sale and use of
gas shall be regulated and that the in
spection thereof shall be provided for
by ordinances, for the charter expressly
empowers the city to do those things.
And If the charter did not, there is on
the statute books law passed by the
state legislature authorizing and re-
quiring the city council of all cities
having a population of more than 100 900
to fix standard of quality and illum-
mating power of gas, and which law
provides for the office of gas inspector.
Inspector Needed
"In view of the provisions of the city
charter and of the state law, which
may be operative today unless super
seeded by the charter, am satisfied that
sound public policy requires that the
city of Los Angeles have a gas aud gas
meter inspector and that there be some
officer whose duty 1t is to enforce the
provisions OF our own city ordinances
upon the subject.
81 am of the opinion that other and
further ordinances for gas regulation
should be adopted In accordance with
the recommendations OF the gas and gas
meter inspector in his annual report, to
which 1 have referred.
Il therefore return the ordinance
without my approval for the preserva-
tion Of the public peace, health and
safety"

MAYOR DEMANDS
READS RETENTION
VETOES ORDINANCE 0USTlNC
GAS INSPECTOR
Declares That Official Oversight Of
Gas Companies IslVaIuabIe and
Necessary to the Conn
munity

Mayor McAleer has vetoed the meas
ure recently passed which does away
with the office of gas and gas meter
inspector
r. Cabell Read, who held the office,
recently made his annual report after
frequent prodding by certain council
men and in that document he gave
reasons why his office was valuable
to the community. Several councilmen
We're after his scalp and he knew 1t.
In his message yesterday the mayor
repeats the suggestions contained in
the Read document.
Read has retained counsel and will
fight for retention of his office. In
the meantime the council will deter
mine whether 1t wishes to insist on
ousting the inspector despite the exec
utives veto.
Mr.. McAleer is known to be friendly
to Read. The latter says the impress
sion that fees from the inspection of
meters were intended to maintain the
office Is wrong. The value of inspec-
tion comes from the fact that such a
position acts as a deterrent to the gas
companies when they are inclined 10
diminish the lighting and heating power
of their product.
The Mayors Message
The veto message, which will be
submitted at Mondays session, is as
follows:
prevail an ordinance entitled AN ordi-
nance regulating the sale OF gas and
electric light and the inspection OF gas
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-29

and electric meters and the charge for
telephones and telephone service and
connections.'
Il am firmly of the opinion that a
gas and meter inspector is a necessary
officer In the city government, and that
so far from abolishing the office, the
powers and duties of the inspector
should be increased, and that additional
provisions should be made by ordinance
for the better regulation of gas service
in this city.
I'm this connection I beg to call your
attention to the annual report of the
gas and gas meter inspector and the
recommendations that he made therein
relative to amendments to the existing
ordinances regulating the sale and use
of gas.
Inspectors Recommendation
"The gas and gas meter inspector
recommends, and L most heartily con-
cur with him, that the ordinances reg
ulating the sale and use of gas in this
city be amended so as to cover the
following points:
81. Providing for the maintenance of
continuous, regular and uniform gas
service with governed pressure in the
consumers pipes of not less than one
inch nor more than three inches, water
pressure, with adequate penalty for
non-fulfllment.
20. Providing for a minimum illum-
mating power of 20 candles and a mini.
mum heat value of $50 b. T. u, with
proper penalty for noncompliance.
'S. Providing that the purity of the
gas be such that 1t contains not more
than 20 grains of total sulphur and 5
grains of ammonia in all forms in 100
cubic feet, and that there be no sui
phuretted hydrogen present, with prop
er penalty for violation.
"a. Providing compulsory testing of
all meters before being put into service
by any company, at the company's ex-
pense. and the testing OF meters on
complaint of either customer or COM
pany, at the fees before mentioned, and
providing that 1t shall be unlawful for
anyone to place or keep a meter In serV-
ice which has been tested and found
Incorrect; a meter to be deemed correct
when 1t is not more than per cent fast
or slow when working at it's regular
capacity.
Seeks Regulation
sit was deemed necessary by your hon
orable body to pass an ordinance under
provisions conferred upon the city by its
charter, to regulate the sale and use OF
gas and provide for the inspection
thereof l did not agree to the ordi-
nance because 1 thought the require
ments for the quality of the gas to be
