Busy Over Situation

Mayor Harper's announcement that
he would demand Scent an hour cleo
trio light instead of 10-cent received
an impetus yesterday when a repre-
sentative business organization in
dorsed his course on public utilities.
| The resolution reads:
Resolved, by the board of directors
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association, that we heartily approve
of the action of the honorable the may
or in vetoing the ordinances passed last
Monday by the honorable city council,
fixing the rates for telephone services,
and that we request the honorable city
council to sustain the mayor in his ac-
tion, fixing the telephone rates for bus
mess houses of both companies at So
per month, and be it further
Resolved, That we commend the
stand taken by his honor the mayor
regarding the rates to be charged by
the electric companies for lighting pur-
poses, believing that the maximum
rates he has designated are just to the
corporations.
This resolution was unanimously
adopted at meeting Of the board of
directors of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association held yesterday.
The mayor was requested to ask the
| city council to pass an ordinance licenS-
! ing outside merchants who are tempo
rarily located in this city and sell al
retail. This action was taken because
many of the New York houses send
representatives to Los Angeles who es-
tablish headquarters at some of the
hotels and take away a large amount
of money to the detriment of local mer-
chants, who pay taxes and employ help.
Outside of council circles it is said
that Councilman Wallace will lead the
opposition Monday against reducing
the price of electric light. He will try
to pass the utility ordinance over the
mayors veto.
81 prefer to do my talking on the
council floor" said Mr.. Wallace last
night, "but do not mind saying that
perhaps we will find out too late that
it is best for the workingmen to leave
the rate at 10 cents per kilowatt hour
that it is not well to hinder and cut
down corporations when they are in
their constructive periods and spending
millions in community
| Mayor Harper said last night that
he was determined as ever in his con-
tention that's cents will pay abundant
revenue to the Edison company. Many
Influential persons had called to see
him on both sides of the question
but so far he had not been converted
to 10-cent electricity.
Electricity is produced cheaper in
Southern California than in the east
and is used more" said the mayor
''The companies should be satisfied
with a fair rate of profit"

EXPLAINS ACCIDENT

A. W. Alexander, a farmer living
near Pocasset, gave an explanation
this morning Of how his team was
killed in a wreck near that city last
Friday, contrary to reports that were
first sent out, in which it was stated
that he was drunk.
Il was just driving home from
town and was crossing the Rock Is
land tracks when train backed up
into the road and scared my horses.
They made a hasty turn and threw me
out Of the buggy. They continued in
their stampede up the track. About
mile north of town they met an in
coming freight train and dashed into
it, killing them both instantly. I con-
slider the Rock Island system to blame
in the matter as they gave me no
warning nor did they have any lights
on their train

Chinese Walking.

That the Chinaman and the Ameri.

is an chronological fact, so far as rea'
sonable deductions can be made. The
term Indian, file" is as old as the val
ley Of the Columbia, through which the
Indians made their way into the Uni
ted States ages before we were hap
PLY discovered by Columbus. The
Indians of today amount to nothing
not even Antonio Apache, the bewig.
ged imposter of the four hundred. But
in their habit OF travelling in single
file the Chinese prove their relation
ship to the red man of America.
In trailing after each other through
the streets the Chinese never con.
verse. They are as silent as the
Sphinx. The italians, on the other
hand, gibble.gabblegobble. Each en-.
deavors to speak louder than the 9th
er, and all want 10 talk at the same
time. This is additional evidence that
the two cares are unrelated.

ENGAGED.

From the New York Times.
1t is a softly lighted room, draped
round in rich maroon,
And DER the warm.toned walls, in
gilt, rare rortraltures are
strewn;
Behind the quaint cathedral panes
great rows of volumes stand,
And, bark! there floats up on the
breeze gay music from band
The man within the deep.wingei chair
quick glances toward the door
Then looks down at a golden head
she may be three, not four
That, quite contented now to lie,
claspt tight in Daddy's arms,
Dreams on, and while she sleeps he
knows there'll be no more
alarms.
For It has been holiday; the nurse
has gone away,
And over at the Riverside he's spent
the livelong day
Just tending this one baby, whose
tricks. amazing, queer,
Have made his hest.loved schemes OF
Thought, somehow, lack at

Against her chair of pale brocadc,
with profile to the light
The young wife, dainty, slender, leans
one small foot resting quite
Upon the wondrous,hued shiraz; her
wee.one too's, asleep,
And with her cheek close to its cheek
her eyes shine soft and deep
Now, on the night, the band plays,
low, tender, soft and dreamy,
A waltz, and four eyes flash and grow
ravishly beamy;
