COLONISTS' RUSH LIKELY
TO EXCEED ALL RECORDS
RAILROAD OFFICES ARE oVERRUN
WITH INQUIRIES
Next Season for Homeseekers Will
Open a Month from Today and
in November Tourist
Inflow Begins

Active advance preparations are being
made by the transcontinental railroads to
take care of the expected big colonist
rush to Southern California.
The colonist season opens month from
today and will last two months.
Immediately thereafter the tourist sea-
son will begin.
Inquiries to the local passenger officials
of the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and
Salt Lake systems indicate that the rush
will be greater than ever-that the San
Francisco disaster and graft exposures
will not decrease the numbers as com
pared to last year, regardless how 1t
may affect the totals because of the
natural growth of the country.
Railroad men say they will be salts
fled if the rush will be bigger than at the
last season, and they are sure 1t will be.
They had their hands full then and, ac-
cording to directory publishers, Los An
geles has been gaining 100 daily in popu-
lation all this year
In all the advertising done by the rail-
roads, development societies, chambers of
commerce and Improvement boards the
distinction between Southern California
and the remainder of the state has been
emphasized, though not glaringly; the let
ters show this.
Fasteners have but a vague idea of
the vastness of this state and are much
confused on distances of the various
cities and counties from each other, the
correspondence clerks say
Los Angeles will have an entire month
to get ready for the colonists, and plans
are being laid by those who will profit
by the newcomers.

EXPECT PROTEST
AGAINST GALLERY
OFFICE BUILDING OCCUPANTS
OBJECT TO NOISE
Fear Rifle Practice Amusement Will
Disturb Peace and Quiet of
Huntington and Sew
erance Buildings

Trouble is looked for by Mayor Harper
and the police board over the applica-
tion of John T. Dickman, who owns two
shooting galleries, because he has ap-
piled for a permit for a third on South
Main street, opposite the Burbank the
ater.
Protests are anticipated from occu-
pants of the Huntington and Severance
office buildings, and the many lodging
houses on Main street because of the
noise usually associated with such gal
leries Anticipating such action the
board has deferred final action.
| Dickman has filed a long petition
| which contains among other names
those of Annie C. Severance, Gustave
Brenner, M. H. Sherman and Mrs Fan
ME Kelly, all signed by "R. A. Rowan
& Co."
The Santa Clara Wine company, H.
Raphael & Co., s. H. Church and H. j.
Woollacott also sign, and the board
takes it that these signers favor grant
ing the permit.O
Dickmans location is a ground floor
store room in a two-story brick build
ing. The upper floor of the building Is
used for lodgings, and there are some
six rooming houses in the same block,
the block on Spring street in rear of
the gallery is also used for this pur-
pose to a great extent.
applicant already has two galleries,
one on North Main street and one on
Main street between Second and Third," ="
said Chief Kern. "He is familiar with
the business and promises to fit the
place in such manner as to be entirely
safe and protected against accidents.
'"rhere are two office buildings on
opposite corners-the Huntington and
Severance, and on the remaining cor
ners two large office buildings are now
in process of construction.
at is probable that considerable COM
plaint would be received from the oc-
cupants of these rooming houses and
office buildings, both on account of the
noise of the shots and the character of
the persons who usually congregate
around such a place."

MUST REMAIN AS
ARCADE OFFICER
FORMER CAPTAIN SMITH LOSES
REINSTATEMENT
Police Commissioners Unable to Undo
Deratement of Former Board
Because of Civil Service
Charter Amendment

Depot Patrolman Joseph A. Smith, once
captain on the Los Angeles depart
ment and known because of his work
at the Arcade station to tourists from
all over the world, must stay in his
present rank.
The police commissioners have decided
finally that they cannot restore the vet
| eran to his old office.
Now that Chief Edward Kern is back
| from the east the case has been dis
posed of on the ruling of the city's law
department that the board has no juris-
dlction.
| Discussing the decision Deputy Dis
=, trict Attorney John w. Shenk said yes
| terday:
"It appears that ON December 27 1899,
| Mr.. Smith was reduced from the rank of
captain, and to use the wording of the
petition without any charge having
been heretofore filed, without a hearing
and without cause.
Eat the time of the deratement of Mr.
Smith the civil service rules were not in
effect and the police board at that time
had ample power to reduce the rank
withoput a hearing and without cause,
and the board could now restore him to
the rank of captain were 1t not for the
provisions of the city charter relative
to civil service and the rules of the civil
service commission made in pursuance
thereof
"At the time these provisions and
rules went into effect Mr.. Smith held
the rank of patrolman. What he now
asks is, in effect, promotion from the
rank of patrolman to the rank of cap
tain without examination. This is un-
questionably contrary to the provisions
of subdivision 1 of rule of the civil
service commission, which provides that
all promotions in the classified civil
service shall be made upon voluntary,
open, competitive examination
''In the light of rules 1 was forced to
the conclusion that the board has no
power or authority to grant Mr. Smiths
petition"

combination, but the new schedule has
been adopted by this company and the
people apparently have no alternative
when it comes to question of accept
ing it.
Under the new rate 40 cents will be
charged for 100 pounds, while those who
use more ice than others will be taxed
in proportion to what they consume, the
company charging its larger patrons SO
much less per 100 pounds.
The new schedule is made effective
August and is signed by all the COM
panies selling ice in this city. The
heads of these companies give. as rea-
son for the increase, the advance in
cost of manufacture.
