ELABORATE SERVICES
AT CATHOLIC CHURCHES
Christmas Day Celebrated with Pro.
grams by Pastors and congresa-
tions at Many Places of Wor-
ship In Los Angeles

Christmas day was marked with elab-
crate services in all the Catholic
churches, the hour of the first mass in
each church being o'clock. At that
early time the churches in all parts OF
the city were thronged with devout wor-
shippers. In many Of them miniature
managers had been erected for the serv-
ices.
At st. Vincent's church DR.. Glass
celebrated the first mass. He also
preached the sermon. The day was
marked at st. Josephs church with the
usual elaborate programs of that parish,
while at the Plaza church the old Span
ish customs were carried out.
At the Holy Cross church the usual
services were held and in the afternoon
the children of the Sunday school were
made joyous with Christmas exercises,
presents, prizes and real Santa Claus.
At the Sacred Heart church the day
of gladstone tidings was fraught with
sadness for many of the parishioners,
for 1t was the first Christmas morning
for many years the late beloved pastor
had not extended the Christmas greeting.
In his place the new pastor, Rev. P. G..
Gay, officiated yesterday morning

FAVOR OPEN-AIR
FLEET FESTIVAL
CONFERENCE TODAY WILL AR
RANGE PRELIMINARIEs
Mayor and Civic Bodies Discuss For
nation Of Committees to Make
Next April Memorable
in California

The how-to-entertain-t the-fieet confer
ence will be held in the mayors office
at the city hall this morning, the con-
freres being Mayor Harper and the Off
GERS of the chamber of commerce and
the Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation.
Because Of the long confinement which
sailors are subjected to it is believed
that open-air typical Southern California
celebrations will be most popular with
officers and crews. For that purpose
big athletic demonstration at Ascot
or Agricultural park will probably be
the big event of festival fleet week.
There will be innumerable other af-
fairs given by individuals and organiza-
tions of a naval and military character,
but the city as a whole expects to do
the lions share of entertaining.
A big parade in which only mounted
and automobile participants will be al
lowed outside of the sailors, marines
and fleet crews Is regarded by many as
the proper thing for one day, an outdoor
athletic demonstration for another day
and possibly sham battle for third
day.
AS soon as a preliminary committee
decides on the general plan of the enter
tainment numerous committees will be
selected to attend to the thousands of
details in advance.
There is four months interval for
work, but the affair will be SO gigantic
that this time is not regarded as too
long to make proper arrangements for
the historic occasion.
Thousands of officers of the navy will
go ON the retired list in the next few
years and what they see of and in
Southern California will doubtless in
fiuence them in deciding where they
shall make their future homes

More Help. but Politics Delays
Efforts of comms-
sioners

Rather than appoint q slate nominee
as a second assistant to Health Onicer
Powers some members of the board OF
health threaten TO quit.
AZ crisis has resulted in the situation
affecting who's who in that branch OF
the citys service.
No matter whether the city council
cuts off a few. inspectors in the health
department soon to keep down the ex-
penses, as is likely it is regarded as
certain that a second assistant health
officer must be appointed for Los An
gelcs soon.
Health OFFICERS L. M. Powers and
Harris Garcelon have been working day
and night for weeks with the volunteer
help of Dr. Barlow, former naval sur
geon who served in the clean-up cam
paign.
They have been unable to catch up
with the purely medical part of their
duties, not counting the administrative
and executive details.
Mutiny In Board
Around the city hall 1t is whispered
that second health officer would have
been appointed .last month, but tie-up
has resulted over the plan of giving the
position to DR.. Arthur Smith, the slate
nominee.
Smith was formerly connected with the
receiving hospital and had the support
of the Republican members of the coun-
ell at the time Councilman Wren's spe-
cial committee reported conditions at the
hospital At that time 1t was charged
that DR.. Smith retained a. substitute
physician to do his work at the hospital,
Smith dividing his salary with him and
only attending to major operations when
summoned by telephone.
Some OF the members of the health
board are quoted as saying that they
will resign rather than name Smith, and
the deadlock may result in no addition
to the medical force being made.
a dozen states have already been
broken regarding proposed cuts of I'M
srketsrs hut another effort will be made
Monday by the nonpartisans to reduce

men have expressed willingness to
sacrifice part of their salaries rather
than see any of the much-needed in
spectors lose their jobs; and some way
will be found to save reduction OF men,
it Is predicted.
Two OF the inspectors are understood
to be willing to go voluntarily. Both
say they will resign rather than wear
the prescribed uniforms on January
10. This will reduce the deficit
considerably and simplify the situation,
as no men will be put in their places.
1t is possible that few enforced vaca-
tions without pay will also be tried to
save expenses. However, one milk and
one meat inspector will probably have
to walk the plank soon.

Luisa Tetrazzini, who, according to
Oscar Hammerstein's announcement, Will
make her first appearance at the Man
haitian on January Is, does not seem
disturbed by the prospect of Mr.. Con
rieds attempting to prevent her from
singing at the Manhattan. In an inter-
view with representative of the New
York World in London few days ago
the diva discussed the business rela-
tions she had had with the impresario
of the Metropolitan.
Recently in Milan he told me he
would prevent my singing anywhere in
the world. Ho told mo this in my box
at the Scala. And has he succeeded In
doing so? He overrated his influence.
II made his acquaintance on board the
Kaiser Wilhelm IL, when I was going to
Havana and Mexico to fill series of
operatic engagements. He knew this,
and, thinking I might be useful as one
of his company at the Metropolitan, but
not wishing, naturally, to engage me till
he had heard me sing, asked me If /
would do so at concert which was to
be given on board for the benefit of
some sailors home. Always being bad
sailor and suffering much from seasick-
ness 1 declined. adding, nevertheless,
that If he wished to hear me sing he
could do so at his house or at the theater
in New York. as I would be there a day
or two transshipping for Havana.
IT gave him what we call an addition
at the Metropolitan opera house. He was
so pleased that he asked me If would
sign contract for three years. said
would, and accordingly he presented
one for my signature. On reading 1t
over I saw that 1t contained a clause
prohibiting my singing in the United
States. Mexico and Havana for anyone
but him.
''Whereupon / said, 4 did not come to
New York to see you. l am on my way
to Mexico, Havana and San Francisco in
fulfillment of contracts which were
signed long before came here Seeing
that I would not sign he told me I might
sing at these places and urged me not
to leave New York without signing,

change was made in the contract, Then

The death is announced from Paris OF
the eminent teacher of singing, Enrico
Dele Sedie, formerly popular as a BARI
tone of the opera stage. He was in his
S2d year. Born in Leghorn, Italy, Dele
Sedie studied first with Galeffi, Persan-
ola and Domeniconi. After Imprisonment
as revolutionist in 1S4S, he resumed the
study of singing and made his debut at
Florence In 1851 in Verdi's "Nabucco.''
Until 1861 he sang in the principal Italian
cities; he was then engaged for the The
ater Italien, Paris, and appointed pro-
fessor of singing at the Conservatoire.
His operate career wasNa brilliant one,
extending over twenty years; during the
latter half of this time he made many
visits to London, where he was great
favorite. Since 1872 he had lived in Paris
and the vicinity, teaching and perfecting
the exhaustive method of singing which
will be his imperishable monument. His

deared him to all his pupils and profess
sional associates
