VICTIM OF GASOLINE
EXPLOSION PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Anna McCulloch, who was
burned in a gasoline stove explosion
at her home at Thirty-eighth and Ala
media streets last Thursday, died last
night at the county hospital.
Mrs, MCCulloch was preparing break
fast when the stove exploded and her
face and shoulders were badly burned,
ANA it was thought that the flames had
entered her lungs. Her husband, who
was in bed when the accident occurred,
hurried to the Kitchen, but was unable
TO enter the room on account of the
Ece and was severely burned before he
gave up the attempt
Rushing out of the house through
another door, he ran to the rear of the
house and found his wife lying on the
ground with her clothes burned off her
Ody. The neighbors, attracted by his
cries for help gave what assistance
they could and notified the police, and
Mrs, McCulloCh was taken to the receiV-
ing hospital and from there removed
to the county hospital. Her injuries
" ere considered fatal Mr., McCulloch
is raridly improving.

CITY HALL BUNS"

There is no longer cause for surprise
at the revelation made a few days ago
that 65 per cent of the salaries Of city
employees are shaved" by loan sharks
Mayor Harper has been investigating
on the line OF that revelation and his
conclusions leave no further ground for
surprise at the improvident habits OF
the average city employe.
The mayor has been preparing, as he
puts it, FOR "a little house cleaning In
the city hall As an evidence of the
need Of cleansing he makes this allu-
sion to- the situation i'm one department;
I'VE have made a little list of the fell
lows i'm that department who have the
reputation of being drunken buns or
push politicians" etc.
citing a specific example the mayor
says: "Why. heard this morning that
there is one Inspector in the health de-
partmont who lay i'm the police station
all night Sunday because he was too
drunk to go home.' And further: "t
have been told that such experiences
are not uncommon among city hall em-
ploycs and not confined to the health
department, either"
And this shameful condition of af-
fairs in the public service is due, as the
mayor intmalcs, to the curse of push
politics" otherwise known as "organi-
zation" or machine politics. The same
influences which stuff the legislature
with tools of the politico-railway ma
chine also fill our municipal offices, in
great measure with the class of
drunken buns" as the mayor correct
1y charactcrizes them.
The state Of California, its counties
and cities. are all dominated to a great
extent by the combination Of railway
and political machine influences. Every
public officer in the state, from govern
or to constable, is regarded by that
combination as "A tributary feature of
those influences. And hence the de-
hatchery Of the public service that is
in evidence everywhere in the state is
direct consequence of foisting the
class of drunken buns and push poll
ticians upon the public to be supported
by official salaries.
The mayor has undertaken COM
mendable work in his act of "house
cleaning" at the city hall The energy
he displays at the beginning gives
promise of success and in his efforts
he will have the solid backing of al
classes of citizens except the bum" and
push" classes.

THE BIG BOND ISSUE

1t is the almost unanimous judgment
of our financiers and other leading
business men that all the funds requi-
site for the owens river water project
should be provided for by a single bond
issue. This conclusion, which is en-
bodied in the resolution adopted at the
Joint meeting of business organizations,
is in accordance with the advice of
bond expert counsel in New York. 1t
may be accepted by the community,
therefore. as a better method than the
plan of voting bonds as they would
be needed in the prosecution of the
work.
An election to determine the issue
of water bonds for S23OOO,OO0 will be
the next step in the owens river water
proposition The sum named is of i'm
mense proportions for a city of the
size of Los Angeles, but the purpose
for which it is intended fully justifles
the step. The enterprise is of vital
concern to the community, The very
life of the city, in view of its rapid
growth is involved in the proposition.
1t should be remembered, however
that the $2S00O,0OO which the water
plant will cost may be regarded as a
good investment for the city, aside
from the abundant water supply it VIII
afford At an early stage of the owens
river project certain electric interests
made tentative offers to bear al the
cast of conducting the water to Tho
city in return for the use of the water
without detriment thereto, for the gen.
GRAFTON of electric power.
The men who advise Jumping of the
bond issue have the utmost confidenc,
of the public and their judgment vii
be accepted as conclusive. With al
the necessary funds practically in hanC
there will be no possible obstacle tC
the completion Of the great work il
the shortest possible time.

Misses Gleason and Miller Again
Pitted in Controversy over

Yesterday was a grilling day at the
Los Angeles public library, with the
prospect of another day to come in
the near future.
At the board meeting last night Miss
Pearl Gleason and Miss Nora Miller
were severely ross-questioned by the
members as to their respective respon-
sibilities in the double payment of a
bill Of II, j. Machen for books Not
wthstandmg the efforts of two mem
bers of the board to shift the blame on
Miss Gleason. the fact was brought out
very plainly that the real cause lay
elsewhere.
Miss Miller, on being called before

LET CAHUENGA VALLEY WAIT

An election will he held today to de-
termine whether the defined territory
Of the Cahuenga valley and Eagle Rock
district shall be annexed to the city Of
Los Angeles The district comprises
twenty-three square miles Of morgan
lied territory which this city would he
compelled to supply with water and
police and fire protection.
The board Of water commissioners,
the chamber of commerce and the city
attorney are unanimous in their opinion
that this territory should not be an
nexed at this time, their reasons being
that until the owens river aqueduct
is constructed we cannot add to the
demands upon our water supply.
The reasons should be conclusive to
all citizens and voters, particularly as
it can he readily seen that such pro-
posed annexation can at present add
little of value, except territory, to the
boundaries of this city.
Hence it is important that every citi-
zen shall go to the polls today and
vote against this particular annexation

Gleason had answered her insolently
when she protested against just such
an action as that which caused the
trouble was Vehemently refuted by Miss
Gleason. 1t was not repeated. A charge
of a like character was made by Miss
Miller against Miss Jones when the
former librarian lost her official head.
In fact, Miss Miller was the issue in
the factional fight in the preceding
board.
Director Griffin espoused Miss Glea-
sons cause. while the newly elected

A NATIONAL DISGRACE

1t is an astonishing fact that the
pay Of Uncle Sans faithful letter
carriers has not been increased in tho
last twenty years.
Think OF it, During that period the
cost of living has increased at least
100 per cent and yet the carriers are
still paid at the rate of $500 TO $1,000
a year, according to the class of service
\ similar condition of affairs exists
with respect to the pay of clerks i'm
the first and second class postofiices
In order to enter the postal service
os a carrier the applicant must begin
as substitute for which he viii be
paid about $50 a month At the end
of two years, if he ANA his family have
NOT died of starvation i'm the mean
timr the substitute becomes fuu-
0odeyd GD1ior, at the enormous salary
of $500 ~ vcar Thereafter his pay Is
increased az the rate of 500 ycal
until hc has reached the limit for the
pay of carriers allowed the class of
his postoniae-cilhrr $500 or $1,000
Hcuo" iu the latter case, which is APP
plicablo To Los Angeles, he must needs
serve six years ass substitute and car
ucr before b,tns entitled 10 the pay
of $1,000 year,
Tho government should at once ado
5000 To- the scale and to- the final um,
Of these salaries. 10 is "a disgrace "a
this great nation that such 1t faithful

public servants should be subjected Io
the painfully inadequate compensation
now dolod oul TO them.

Eight valuable CANNES and numbet
of valuable ana greatly priced cars
have lost their lives as a result OF
visits paid by dog poisoners to An
gcleuo Heights during the last three
days. AS a consequence the neighbor
hood is i'm an uproar as the residents
fear children may obtain possession of
some of the poisoned food and lose
their lives by partakng of it,
one Of the dogs which died was a
valuable English bull owned by Georgt
Home the city detective. The animal
was gift and highly priced. 1t was
found dead i'm the yard in the rear OF
the house,
G. L. Johnson suffered the loss of a
valuable bird dog which he has owned
for fifteen years. Tho animal was tied
10 a post I'm the rear of the house. MI
Johnson purchased this dog when il
was ii puppy and the animal has been
a playmate for his children ever since

This animal is valued at several hun
dred dollars and is said TO be one VI
the finest in the city.
Samuel H. Laverty l477 Helen street
lost two valuable cats as result of
the visit OF the poisuucrs. The felines
were found dead in the rear of Mr.
Laverty's home.
Great indignation is expressed by the
residents of the neighborhood, All the
animals killed have been valuable and
it is thought the person who gave
them the poisoned food may have done
so in a spirit Of revenge.
