FOVEAUX
As GAS EXPERT
COMMITTEE HOLDS ITS FIRST
SESSION TODAY
San Francisco Engineer, Assisted by
Los Angeles Talent, VIII Ad-
wise the Council lnves-
tgators

Chairman Henry Lyon Of the gas in
quiry committee of the council re-
turned yesterday morning from San
Francisco, bringing word of the Sc
lection of Frank Foveaux as gas ex-
pert for the commission.
Lyon went north expecting to offer
the appointment to G. Jones, also
a noted gas expert, but when he found
that Mr.. Jones was identified with the
San Francisco Gas company he con-
cluded that an outsider would be more
likely to be free from entangllng alli-
ances.
Foveaux is chief engineer for the
Mutual Gas association of San Fran
cisco, a company which installs gas
plants all over the coast. He will
come to Los Angeles on the Owl and
IL he gets here in time today a ses-
sion of the committee Will be held this
morning. 1t will be open to the pub
lie.
Roderick Mckay of the water de-
tee. He is particularly well qualified,
as he served the Los Angeles and
Lowe companies in various capacities
and has a thorough understanding Of
the installation and mechanical and
generator features of the plants.
President Robert Loucks of the Gas
Consumers association yesterday adj
dressed a communication to the city
council rendering the services of the
association in connection with the gas
inquiry. The letter was referred to the
gas committee.

COMMITTEE OF WHOLE,
IN SECRET SESSION,
STEERS THE COUNCIL

The committee of the whole of the
council held a long secret session yes
terday morning to pave the way for
the afternoon session of the municipal
assembly.
The committee discussed the Ascot
license at length and the majority, it
is stated, inclined to the opinion that
in keeping with the spirit of the agree
ment entered into when the race meet
ing was given formal permission to
finish it's dates the other concessions
ought also to be granted.
The question of special license for
the auto show also came up. President
Pease holds to the view that the coun-
Gil should grant, no special license, as
the laws now exist, to saloons outside
of the saloon zone Most of the coun-
cilmen present favored the license,
however, it is stated, because if the
auto show is refused it will establish
a precedent for refusing the Driving
club meet and other high class events.
1t is probable that the final outcome
will be an amendment to the laws
providing for such cases in the future.
The argument used in favor of grant
ing the license was that as the zone
| Is the creation of the council that body
can when it sees fit extend the limits
in special cases.
The committee laid over the ques-
tion of carrying freight by trolley.

SCIENTISTS WAR OVER
CITYS GERM EXPERT

The merry war in the health Office
over the appointment of city bacteri-
ologist will have it's climax on WedneS-
day at the next meeting of the board
of health
1t is narrowing down into tug of war
between Health Officer Powers and Bac-
teriologist Miss Leonard.
Friends of DR.. Eleanor Seymour are
conducting an outside compaign for her
appointment on the theory that Miss
Leonard is slated to go and that or
ganized effort by the doctors will land
their choice into office.
DR.. Leonards friends will fight for
her retention, more on the theory that
her professional reputation is at stake
than with a desire to keep her in the
office, which pays only $125 e. month and
requires six hours attention each day.
DR.. Leonards adherents say that she
has gained a wide reputation as a bac-
teriologist and as an original research
scientist. Her principal claim to pro-
fessional fame is her researches in con-
nection with the grass bacillus. This
germ is said to be so much like the
tuberculosis bacillus that few observers
can differentiate them, yet the grass
bacillus infects only guinea pigs as far
as known with the disease. 1t does not
seem to affect humans and cows.
Miss Leonard is a contributor to John
Hopkins Bulletins, publication which,
unlike few American scientific publica-
tions, takes high rank in Europe.
Opponents of Miss Leonard say that
she is slow in accommodating the doc
tors who want cultures examined and
tested, and in prosaic language has the
"big head"

COUNCIL BUYS TWO
NEW STREET FLUSHERS

The city council yesterday author
lied the purchase of new street flush
ing wagons. They are not of the Rati-
can type because of the litigation over
alleged infringement threatened when
the Ratican type were used expert
mentally.
The new carts will cost $1140 each.
The recommendations of the board of
public works on the subject are as fol-
lows:
"a short time ago your honorable
body authorized this board to pur-
chase two Ratican patent street flush
ing wagons. Before the board had ef-
fected the purchase of the same it was
notified that suits for infringement of
patent had been filed and in order to
avoid any legal difficulties the board
has declined to purchase the said Rat
lean wagons.
"It is found that the Sanitary Street
Flushing company manufactures what
one known as the Murphy patent flush
ing machines, which, so for as can be
learned, are as satisfactory, If not
more so, than the Ratican wagons,
and the board respectfully requests
your honorable body to adopt a reso-
luton authorizing the purchase of two
of these Murphy machines under the
emergency provisions of the city char
ter, as they desire to get the same
in operation as soon as possible"

SIXTEENTH STREET
OWNERS v|CT0RS
Important East and West Artery,
Bisected by Car Line, VIII Be
Enlarged to Accommo-
date Traffic

Sixteenth street property owners
scored victory in the city council
yesterday after the question of widen
ing and improvement had dragged for
months
The frontage from Figueroa street
to Pacific avenue was represented
largely on the petitions and in person
by the business men of Sixteenth
street, who crowded the council cham
ber until the order of business was
reached.
Councilman Wallace took the floor
on behalf of President Pease, in whose
ward the improvement is situated, and
asked that the question be formally
decided, since both sides had ample
opportunity to present their cases.
f. j. Whiffen, as spokesman, said
that repeatedly the owners had visit
ed the city hall at some sacrifice OF
their business interests, and in justice
to all he felt that the question ought
to be acted upon. Sixteenth street can
not accommodate the traffic it is called
upon to take care of, there being only
room for a horse and buggy on eacf
side of the track.
Samuel Rees, a former councilman
also made a stirring plea for the prop.
erty owners. He said the delay haG
come largely because of the conserva-
tism of property owners between Fig.
ueroa and Main streets. He objected
to being chained to their chariot any
longer and hoped the council would
yield to the pleas of those most inter
ested-those who were to pay the bills
The council finally denied the few
protests and authorized the improve

oil INSPECTOR
SOUNDS WARNING
Because of Drillers' Proposed Opera.
tions in Whittier, Fullerton and
Salt Lake 1t BehooVes Los An
aeIes to Take Precautions

Oil Inspector Blackmar yesterday
threw a bombshell into the council
when he wrote warning report con-
cerning the proposition to sink deep
wells in the Whittier, Salt Lake and
Fullerton neighborhoods.
The plan is to get at the lighter
grade oils lower down, and to do so
the wells must go down through the
sand and far deeper.
The history of deep wells, says In
spector Blackmar. is that they de-
velop tremendous gas pressure when
the flow comes in and some have run
as high as $4,000 barrels in one day.
He cited reports of the United States
geological surveys to support his con-
tentions and to argue that the city
should take some protective measures
Damage is sure to arise when these
wells get beyond human control, as
they are liable to-" says the report,
"and l deem 1t my duty to SO state
This waste oil may get into the sewers
and add to the danger of contiagra-
tions. This department is helpless In
the premises"
The report was referred to the COM
mittee Of the whole.

HALTS TWO DEMANDS

The council finance committee is

two items as follows
"We recommend that the demand of
Fife & White for $731.22 for street i'm
provement on Cummings street, oppo-
site Hollenbeck Park be returned to
the park department with instructions
to draw the demand upon the park de-
partment fund.- as the condition of the
cash fund does not warrant us in
drawing 1t upon that fund.
"We recommend that the inclosed
demand of Roehr & Tainler, the dead
animal contractors, for December, for
$4O4.5O be referred to the city attor-
ney."

Country Manual Training.

Even manual training needs new di-
rection as it touches country life. 1t
may not be necessary to eliminate the
formal exercises of model work and
weaving and the like; but some of the
practical problems of the home and
farm may be added. How to make a
garden, to lay out paths, make fences
and labels, are manual training prob
lens. How to saw board off straight,
to drive a nail, to whittele a peg, to
make a tooth for a hand hay rake, to
repair a hoe, to sharpen a saw, to
paint fence, to hang a gate, to adjust
a plow point, to mend strap, to prune
an apple tree, to harness a horse-the
problems are bewildering from their
very number. Manual training can be
taught in the schools that are equipped
for it as, in ten years, to start a revolu-
ton in the agriculture of any common
wealth - From l.. II. Bailey's "The
Common Schools and the Farm Youth"
in the October Century.
