T. H. BARTLETT,
September 10, 1907. Register.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-31

When Mr.. Gould's little stunt was
over Mrs. Johnson did a ballot read
ing speciality Ballots were distributed
through the audience and each one
was requested to write a question,
sign his name or initials, and address
it to some friend in the spirit world.
Before the seance commenced Mrs.
johnson went through the ballots care
fully and selected the ones She would
read. She delivered several messages
and the people to whom they were ad-
dressed responded promptly. The
stools had been we'll arranged and no
messages were given but for the elect
who could be depended on to answer
the medium according to previous or
ders.
The convention continued last night
and will be in session today.

MUST REGISTER
OOCKED HORSES

Horses are at last to have their
innings. Yesterday Deputy District At
torney Hartley Shaw issued an an
nouncement in which he warns the
owners of show horses to register all
animals whose tails have been docked.
before April l, or suffer punishment.
California is among the first to rec
ognlze the worth of the horse and to
make a fight for the animals protec-
tloT. The horse receives as much at
| tention in the southland as a desti-
tute child would. The officers of the
s. p. G. A. are constantly on the look
out, securing the county, it's deserts
and canyons, in search of stray ami
mails, and caring and tending for them.
The legislature at last has recognized
the demands and requirements of Mr.
Horse, and within another year the
horses of California will be receiving
almost the same consideration as the
| wards of the state.
VIII Be Crime to Dock Tails
The latest measure for the relief of
the horse has been a law passed bv the
legislature making 1t a crime in Cali
rornla for any owner or any one else
to dock horses tail. or, in other
words, cut it off short to make the
animal look stylish. California legis-
| llators have decided that a horse with
out tail is not beautiful. They have
further decided that horse without a
tail, especially in a country where flies
are liable to make things interesting,
is like ship without a sail, and here
after the horses are to be allowed to
keep their rudders.
There are many docked horses in Los
Angeles at the present time. Many
of them are owned by some of the
wealthiest residents of the city.
Horse Shows Cause Trouble
Every horse show causes more horses
to suffer, but hereafter there will be
nothing but peace for the horses.
After the first of April all horses will
be protected. 1t will be a crime for
anyone to dock a horses tall crime
punishable not by fine but by inn
prisonment and there will be no way
to evade the law.
Every horse In the state must be
registered by April If 1t has a docked
tail The owner of any horse not
registered after that time will be prose-
cuted.
AS result, the county clerk is doing
rushing business in registering, and
the horses are having the laugh on the
hoi polloi at last.

BOARD MAKES
REPORT OF ITS
YEARS WORK
Shows Labor Done on
Aqueductt
Approaching Bond Issue Treated.
Document, with Appendix and
Notes, Would Fill
Big Volume

Ending it's year, the Los Angeles
aqueduct board yesterday filed its an
nual report of progress on the Owens
river project.
The nearness of the special election
to issue $23,O0O 900 bonds makes its con-
tents timely.
Chief Engineer William Mulholland
signs the report, which, with appendix
and references, would fill a big volume.
In reviewing what led to the gigantic
project the following will be interest
ing, especially to newcomers here:
The idea of bringing the water of the
Owens river to the city of Los Angeles
originated in 1898 with Fred Eaton. Mr..
Eaton was for several years engineer
and superintendent of the Los Angeles
City Water company. He was subse-
quently city engineer, and in 1893 he
was engaged in the ranch business in
Owens valley, where he resided for a
number of months.
Mr.. Eaton did not publicly discuss
this idea, His training as an engineer,
both for the city and with the water
company, together with his general
knowledge of the water situation in
and around the city of Los Angeles,
particularly qualified him to judge of
the necessities of the case and the mer-
its of the project He was mayor of
the city during the years 1S9919O0.
In the fall of 1904 and the early spring
OF 1905 Mr.. Eaton on his own RESPONSE
bility and at his own expense began
obtaining contracts and options on wa
ter-bearing property in owens valley
With these contracts and options in
hand he first nresented the matter Ia
representatives Of the city of Los An
geles late in the fall of 1904 and early
in the year 1905.
First Idea
The first idea that Mr.. Eaton had con-
cerning the handling of the proposition
contemplated combined private and
municipal project, the city to receive
10000 miners inches OF water for do
mestic uses and he surplus water
to be available for Mr.. Eaton and his
associates for disposal outside the CITY.
this surplus water to pay toll for the
use Of the aqueduct, and all water TO
be available IN transit for the benefit of
the corpora ton for purposes of generat-
ing power.
The aqueduct was to be built and
paid for by the city and have a capacity
OF at least 20, 900 inches. Mr. Eaton was
70 secure all necessary lands and water
rights and to deliver the water rights
without cost to the city. The board of
water commissioners. as well as other
city officials. declined this and insisted

hours in such way as to meet the
demands.
This the board estimates will permit
the city to enter into contracts for a
total output of $4,000 horse power,
measured at the point of delivery in
hours IF greatest demand.

visibility of voting the $1,5OO0OO bond
issue of September, 1905, for the pur
chase of water rights making survey
and starting construction.
Deliver 10000 Miners Inches
The aqueduct as planned by the board
of engineers with the water rights now
owned by the city is adequate to de-
liver to Los Angeles a large propor-
ton of the 400 second feet 100000
miners inches), sufficient for all prob
able needs for several years after the
completion of the aqueduct."
1t would be obviously unwise for the
city at once to pile the cost of works
that were not Immediately necessary
for the operation of the aqueduct on
to the present cost of building the
portion which is now essential These
additional works are left to be supplied
as the demand for water approaches
the total supply available. These ex-
tensions and betterments should be
paid for from the earnings of the
aqueduct itself, in a similar way to
the present policy of the city water
| department
l. The water commissioners have
abundantly demonstrated their ability
| to finance enterprises in this manner.
During the year ending November 30
1906, they added 46.6S miles of pipe
Angeles, one large pumping plant, and
one reservoir with capacity of fifty
million gallons, 1868 new connections,
230 fire hydrants, 6978 meters and sun
dry other betterments, paying for them
| from the water revenue fund and eX-
pending thus a total of $697, ,042.68 in
| one year.
Cover Aqueduct Later
The aqueduct will be so constructed
that it may be covered progressively
as funds are available after it's COM
pletion The arguments that are so
! potent for the covering of aQueducts in
the east on account of pollution, do not
obtain with equal force in a desert re-
gion such as that traVersed by the Los
Angeles aqueduct, which is practically
devoid of human habitation and where
little animal life is found. Sixteen and
siX-tenths per cent of the total length
of line is in tunnel and pipe line, and
| is therefore to be Immediately covered.
Herewith is given an estimate for
covering the remaining portion of the
aqueduct from the Alhambra hills in
the owens valley south to the Fernando
valley, and of building the Long valley
dam, the Fairmont dam and two dams
in the San Fernando valley. This will
complete the aqueduct.

GRAND PIANOS Do
PECULIAR STUNTS
Peoples SpirituaIist Society Observes
Its Fifty-ninth Anniversary
and Tells How Great
IL Is

If you're down on your luck and
want to see the ghost walk, by all
means attend the F'ifty-ninth ami
versary of the Peoples Spiritualist So
ciety held yesterday and today at
Burbank hall. Such little things as
moving tables are too small to be
mentioned. The speakers tell in glow
ing terms of grand pianos that float
around the ceiling. OF course the Vis-
itor cannot expect to actually see
these marvellous manifestations, but
the consciousness of associating with
seers who can actually bring these
things to pass is-or ought to be-suf-
ficient glory for any mortal.
Prof ]. S. Loveland, formerly a
Methodist minister, was the principal
speaker of the afternoon yesterday and
spoke on what Is Spiritualism, and
What Has 1t Accomplished? He de-
livered a very able address and sew
eral times called forth bursts of ap-
plause from his hearers.
G. Gould followed, taking the place
of speaker who was absent. He in
formed the audience that he was
physically tired out but mentally very
much alive. Mr.. Gould created a lit
tie diversion for the laymen present by
declaring that he had seen a grand
piano floating around the ceiling. This
statement did not, however, seem to
feaze the spiritualists present.
Pretty Good Himself
Mr.. Gould did some splendid adver-
tising for himself by telling the 200 or
more spiritualists assembled what a
fine trumpet medium and slate writer
he Is. 81 have got some beautiful slate
messages and spirit paintings, haven't
l, sister?' and he turned to Mrs. STAN
ford johnson, sitting on the platform.
"My brother has written me hundreds
of spirit letters" declared the speaker.
"I am getting more rested every
minute" he said. Not so were his
hearers, but no one complained, so long
as he was enjoying it. There are
many undeveloped mediums in this
city," he said, people who could re-
ceive messages, raps, ETC." Of an
ability to receive raps is one of the
requirements of a good medium, truly
the number Of people in this city with
mediumistic powers is legion).
A former spiritualist who was sitting
near, exclaimed, t'He tells the same
story and experience every time he
comes to a meeting. The reason he
turned to Mrs. Johnson for eonfirma-
tion was because she used to sit with
him and got him the messages-and a
good deal Of money out OF him for
her teachings. She hxed the states
and then he got the spirit writings

of his when Mrs. Johnson was not
present. He thinks he's the greatest

The advisability of building a pipe
line with capacity of 5000 inches from
the owens river to the City of Los
Angeles has been suggested. Despite

to the water system in Los Angeles

CHICAGO LOST

CHICAGO ILL.,, September 16.-Fire, water

the largest crowd that ever saw a ball
game here, made getaway day at the
White Sox Park yesterday a record smash
er in Chicago base ball.
Just hour before time to begin the
last game on the home grounds prior to
the champions invasion OF the east, dis
carded cigarette set fire to the center field
bleachers.
Undoubtedly the fine plant would have
been quickly destroyed but for the quick
work Of dozen f1remen, who rushed from
the grand stand with hand pumps and fire
axes and quenched the fire. leaving nothing
to do for the fire department which an
swered the alarm.
At the end of the fifth inning, with all
the thousands screeching in the celebration
of the first run of the game. which was
made by the SOX, a sudden storm OF rain
pelted the fans, who were occupying the
open stand. and those who had taken

fine for the Sox account of their one
run, which was made In the fifth on Dough-

nehills clean rap over second. But when
Lajoie came up in the sixth with Flick and
Bradley on third and second, respectively.
after their singles and Turner's out, the
Sox strategy board decided that it was the
part of wisdom to give Manager Larry his
base on balls and take chance with Bemis,
who was the next hitter.
Walsh followed out the instructions of the
strategists to the letter, but Bemis proved
bad man to trif1e with. He shot a base
hit into center field that scored 10Th Flick
and Bradley. That decided the game, al
though the Sox tied the later, and
sent the Sox back into third place, as the
Detroits were able to get an even break
in the double-header with St. Louis. The

Engineers was excellent. In the first game
Meister. Mofitt and De Witt figured in
double play. Not a Congressional man
reached first until the fifth inning. when
Parker beat the ball to first, but was caught
stealing second. Not man passed second
until the seventh. when Parker was put
out at home. Mullin and Meister both field
ed good and Meister's work in the box was
excellent. He pitched both games holding
the Congressionals down to three hits In
each game. In the first game he struck
out seven and walked no one. In the sec
ond he struck out the same number and
walked two. King and Smith, who pitched
for the Congressionais, were both a trifle
wild, while their support was poor. In the
third inning of the second game Mullin
again figured in a double play with Jones,
retiring the other side. In the fifth inning
Parker relieved Hobbs in center field. Moye
and Smith both put up a good fielding
game. but their stickwork was weak. This
now makes the Engineers winners OF thr
teen games out of the seventeen they have
played. Next Sunday they will play dou-
ble-header with the ST. Vincent team at the
barracks. Meister and Mullin will be the
battery. The scores:
