LOS ANGELES IS
NOW SPO7LESS TOWN
SANITARY FORCES CONCLUDE
FIVE WEEKS CLEANUP
inspectors Say Every Ward Has Been
Relieved of Rubbish and $4,000
Investment Has Been
Successful

The five weeks cleanup of Los An
geles ended yesterday.
The. nine doctors in charge of the nine
wards turned in their final reports. blank
books and paraphernalia last night at the
city hall, after giving the necessary time
checks to their inspectors, laborers and
teamsters at the ward headquarters.
All of the rat traps, numbering nearly
a thousand, as far as they were returned
to the city hall were sent out to the de-
tention hospital, where they will. be stored
until needed. Later perhaps they will be
distributed free to heads of families who
will promise to continue to keep the
traps baited for rats.
Most of the inspectors say that their
work has been very successful in that
they have given their wards clearings
such as they never had in years. All of
them say that there is still work to be
done by second overhauling IL the city
rad the funds to spare.
1t Is now up to the police and the
regular heath inspectors to see that no
more dumping is surreptitiously done in
alleys and vacant lots by householders
The pay demands will be submitted to
the city council on Monday, after which
all of the business In connection with the
campaign will be brought to close.
The work was done by nearly three
hundred men at the request Of the Los
Angeles County Medical association and
the board of heath. The city council
quickly furnished an appropriation In the
neighborhood OF $4,000.

In Secret Meeting Politicians Plan to
Put Councilman in kern's
Place at First of
Year

Several men prominent in political cir
cles yesterday started a movement to
quietly put Councilman Bernard Healy
at the head of the police department to
succeed Chief Edward Kern, who is
slated for a position on the board of
public works in January.
At "a secret conference plans were
drawn up to present Healy's name at the
first favorable opportunity.
The conference was held unknown to
Mayor A. G. Harper, ex-officio head OF
the police board. 1t is said that one Of
the police commissioners was present at
or before the deliberations. The COM
missioners name the chief.
Certain Republicans anxious to perpet-
uate machine are known to favor Healy
for the chiefship, but strong opposition
Is also known to exist; hence the caucus
was held as stealthily as possible with
the hope of taking the city by surprise.
If Healys name gets as far as the
police board, which many doubted when
they heard the rumor last night, 1t Is
predicted that at least two members Of
the board will oppose the appointment.
In Council Two Years More
Healys term as councilman expires
two years from January. The chief OF
police holds appointment through and by
favor of the board of police commissions
ers and cannot serve more than four
years. The salary is $4,000 a year, that
Of councilman is less than half.
To those who study city hall politics
closely the appointment of Healy, It is
claimed, would be disastrous to the Re-
publicans If not to the administration.
Petitions which are said to represent
100000 persons are now in circulation,
calling on the police board for stricter
enforcement of the liquor laws. Some OF
the councilmen have already sounded q
note of warning on liquor lines and only
last Tuesday the police board announced
policy of limitation and supervision
that will bear more heavily on places
| where liquors are sold.
| Were Healy to be chief his own friends
say the department would get as neal
the wide open policy as 1t dared. With
a race meeting near the results Of sucf
a policy can hardly be foreseen.
Opinions Differ,
The Eighth ward, which Healy repre-
sents. claims most of the saloons in Los
Angeles, and certain liquor men believe
Healy would be an useful at the head
of the police force as he is now to the
Eighth ward In the council. On the other
hand not a few saloonkeepers say 1t
would be a mistake to take Barney
out of the council
Healy is the most picturesque charac-
ter in the present council. He Is known
as "Buttermilz Barney" as he Is an abb
stainer, is always clad in green and
wears no neckties One of his sons is
on the police force and another in the
fire department. He has served In the
regular army, doing frontier duty In
Arizona and elsewhere. and during the
present council he gained prominence by
his advocacy of tax on landlords who
bar tenants with families; of higher pay
for the navy, insistence on the eight
hour law and primarily for everything
that helps the Eighth ward.

GUS cities and at each place has spent
