ORGAN RECITAL
Worshipers at Temple Baptist Church
Promised a Rare Musical Treat
During Tomorrow Nights
Services

In response to numerous requests of
Temple Baptists Prof. Bruce Gordon
Kingsley, organist Of the Auditorium
company and musical director of the
Temple Baptist church, will render a
lengthy musical program Sunday night.
A trained chorus and quartet of pro-
fessional singers will assist in the pro-
gram, but the greater part of the
evening will be devoted to organ Sc
lections.
Prof. Kingsley has been criticised a
trife for Withholding his great recital
numbers from the church people, so
tomorrow night he will offer an organ
recital embracing some of the largest
selections written for the organ.
AS prelude Prof Kingsley has
chosen Mozart's "Fantasie in f Minor"
The trained chorus of fifty voices will
follow with Goss' magnificent anthem,
1.-The Wilderness"
One of the great numbers of the
evening will be Lemmen's 1.-THE Storm"
The number represents summer day,
with the gradual approach Of a storm.
The confusion and thunder of the ele-
ments at last give way to the sunshine.
and the selection closes with the tri-
umphant song of the harvesters.
A quartet consisting of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roland Paul, Miss Harriet Longstreet
and MIR. Cole viii sing Sweet the
Moments Rich in Blessing" This num-
ber is rather novelty, the music being
the world-famous sextet from Lucia,
set to sacred words by Donizetti.

TWO PERSONS
Third Fatality May Result from Eat
ing Canned Pork and Beans
That Had Stood Too
Long

Two people are dead and third is
dying at Ontario as a result of pto-
maine poisoning.
Canned beans eaten during a noun
tain climbing trip were responsible for
the fatalities.
Henry S. Carter, his daughter Mabel,
and Charles Edward Abbott started on
a four-day trip to the Cucamonga can
yon. Among their stock of provisions
was a can of beans which had been in
the Carter home for over a year. These
beans were partaken Of on the first day
out. The three pleasure>seekers imme-
diately were taken i'll.
They returned at once to Ontario and
received medical assistance, but Miss
Carter succumbed the following day
and Mr.. Abbott died yesterday, while
Mr.. Carter is lowering between life and
death.
Mr.. Care and his family have lived
in Los Angeles county nearly twenty
years.

PLUMS FOR ELECTORS ONLY

Discussion Of the question whether
the charter of Los Angeles would pre-
vent the appointment of non-residents
as deputies in various city offices has
brought to light the fact that there is
an ordinance now in effect covering
that point.
During the hard times following the
panic of 1898 the municipal government
found it necessary to provide employ
ment for number of the unfortunate
residents of Los Angeles. A number of
people were given employment at 81 per
day erecting a retaining wall about
Elysian park. This work was done in
1896.
During this year Frank Nichols, VINO
was then member of the council, in
troduced an ordinance providing that
only those men whose names were on
the great register should become an
employe for pay Of the city. This or
dinance was passed and, as far as can
be discovered, never was repealed.

fares

The city has practically determined
to buy the two compressed air sprink-
ler flushing machines which Contractor
Charles Alexander has brought from
st. Lotus.
orders have been given to expedite
the work of keeping the downtown
streets cleaner by using light scrapers
hereafter instead of relying on the
shovel brigade. The scrapers will be
bought or rented as fast as possible by
the board of public works.
Chief of Police Kern has issued
stringent orders to his men to notify
contractors and teamsters that tight
wagon boxes must be used in hauling
dirt in order that no m ore rubbish shall
sift through, and merchants have been
notified that their porters must cease
sweeping store accumulations into the
cutters.
The plan isi to use scrapers hereafter
to get the hardened dirt and mud off
the asphalt street surfaces and follow
this application by flushing with water
driven by compressed air.
once cleaned 1t Is thought that it
will be less difficult to keep the street
surfaces clear of mud, though the un-
usual amount of building going on in
the business section makes it difficult
to keep close watch on all the wagons
which carry excavated material.
The rubbish wagons are constant
source of annoyance, too, in spreading
fine dirt on the streets, as few of them
have tight boxes or tarpaulin covers
to keep the litter from falling out.
Though the new plan will be con-
fined to the business sections at present
1t is hoped to use the scrapers on all
streets soon. They are more econom-
ical, 1t is declared, can do more work
in a given time and because of the steel
blades make a better surface after
scraping the surplus dirt off the streets
than hand labor.

DEMOCRATIC CLUB
TO Be ENLARGED
INSTITUTION TO BE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AFFAIR
New Board of Directors Decides to
Make Extensive improvements in
Present Quarters and to
Increase Membership

Every Democrat in Southern Califor-
MIA is invited to become a member OF
the Los Angeles Democratic club.
AS the result Of the great showing
made in the recent state election and
the choice of a Democrat as mayor Of
Los Angeles 1t has been considered by
the members Of the club fit and proper
that the distinctively Democratic social
organization should expand in propor-
tion to the manner in which Democrats
generally Of Southern California have
swelled in pride over their recent
achievements politically.
Consequently the club has decided to
open it's arms and embrace all the
southern section Of the state and make
of it an organization of which every
Democrat in Los Angeles in particular
and all of Southern California in gen.
eral rightfully should be proud.
To Improve Quarters
At present the club will retain it's old
quarters in the Trust building at 342
South Broadway, but 1t is the inten-
tion Of the directors of the club to i'm
mediately make extensive improve
mentS.
These will consist of partitions divid-
ing the immense room into several
apartments to be used as reading and
card rooms. an Office for the secretary
and buffet conducted strictly on the
club plan for such an adjunct.
All the floors will be nicely carpeted,
additional electric lights will be in
stalled and new fittings and furniture
will be purchased.
An active campaign for membership
will be inaugurated, and at the low rate
of 81 per month as dues it is expected
by the officers Of the institution that
large membership list soon will be
acquired.
All these plans for the advancement
of the interests of the club were
adopted at an extended meeting of
the new board of directors of the insti-
tuition. There were present President
Eugene Germain, Secretary M. j. Nc
Garry, Mayor A. G. Harper, Nathan
Cole, jr., Anthony Schwamm, Capt.
George M. Cake, T. L. Craig, I. L.
Clark, A. S. Peterson and s. p. Clark.
Executive Committee Named
An executive committee of seven was
chosen, consisting of the president and
secretary and Messrs. Harper, Cole,
Schwamm, Cake and S. p. Clark.
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
directors that the time had come when
the Democracy of Southern California
should have a social organization of
size and nature in keeping with the i'm
portance of the party as a political
factor in this section of the state.
Various committees were selected to
take charge of the work OF improving
the present quarters, and a committee
on membership, composed of Anthony
Schwamm, chairman; 1. l.. Clark and
A. S. Peterson, Immediately will begin
the work of extending the membership
list.
Herbert Kennedy, private secretary
of Mayor Harper was chosen assistant
secretary of the cub.
