MILFORD

Milford, Aug. 2S.-There will be no more concerts on the Broad street green this summer by Baileys orches- tra. A failure on the part of the pub lie to give the proper financial support for these entertainments is the reason given for the disconunuance of these weekly events. The concerts were glv- en and on each occasion large crowds were present, but on any one evening less than $10 was realized from the, collection, showing the lack of liberal- ity of those who attended.

REBEL JUSTICES
SUED FOR FEES
DISTRICT ATTORNEY BRINGS
ACTION
Proceedings VIII Test Constitutional
ity Of Law AboIishing Fee Sys- e,
tenn and Fixing Monthly
Salaries Instead

The war between the county and the
two regularly elected justices of the
peace for Los Angeles township-Jus
head yesterday when District Attorney
Fredericks and Assistant District At
torney Hartley Shaw filed suit in the
superior courts against the two justices
for sums Of $3.50 and $9O6.
The amounts named in the suits rep
resent the fees taken in by the justices
since March IS and up to the first of
May. AT that date, according to the
new act of the legislature, the town
ship justices were required to turn
over their fees to the county and in
turn receive a regular compensation
in the form of salary
The law to that effect was passed
by the last legislature, when two ad-
ditional justices for Los Angeles town
ship were appointed. Nothing was said
at that time, the two Justices now in
office making a fight against the meas
ure and after it's passage becoming
silent as to their course of conduct.
New Justices Not Busy
The new justices were appointed on
the first of April and their business
for the first month did not amount to
much. They filed their petitions Tor
warrants for their salaries at the close
of the month and before the auditor
could issue the warrants he was
stopped by a mandamus proceedings,
ordering him not to issue the warrants
until the case was Strengthened.
The two hostile justices, hostile to
the salary system, refused to turn over
their fees to the county. Justice
Stephens had $906 for the forty-five
days of work and Justice Pierce had
$3.50.
A consultation was held with the
district attorney and the justices
agreed to place their funds in escrow,
pending the settlement of the suit in
court.
Following that the county supervisors
issued request to the district attor-
ney asking him to interfere and take
action. A criminal action was put
aside, even without contemplation, and
the civil turn was resorted to to es-
tablish the validity of the new law
The supervisors hold that the new law
must be obeyed. The Justices hold
that it is unconstitutional, and the
contest between them promises to be
warm one.

legged leader of a gang of horse thieves
operating in the Calabasas district,
was yesterday convicted by a jury in
department one of the superior court

ror for the past three months has been

ELECTRIC PAGEANT
MAKES LAST SHOW
THIRD PRESENTATION is SEEN
BY THR0NGS
With the Exception That Shriner
Hosts Do Not March, Parade Is
Fully as Gorgeous as
at First

Losing nothing in interest to the
spectators because of repetition, and
retaining all the brilliancy which
marked it's premier presentation the
third and last electrical parade or
Fiesta week was held last night. Not
feature, with the exception of the
Shriners who marched on Tuesday
night, was missing from the pageant
of light and color, and the crowds
which lined the walks to await the
CAV scene lost nothing through antici-
patton.
The floats were all there. The green
Of the emerald, the red tints in the
green which ruled the color scheme or
the garnet, the yellow of the topaz
all blazed forth into the night in all
their glory, and the entire ensemble
was one Of unrivaled brightness and
symphony in color
And then the rest of the floats which
formed the long scintillating line of
flashing rays and chameleon tinted
masses held their place as truly as on
the other occasions. The Shr1ner en-
blem, blazing forth in monster re-
production of the insignia of the order,
held the crowds in gaping awe as 1t
swung along the street.
The meteor more than held its own,
even when compared to the gorgeous
reproductions which predominated for
the entire length of the line The opal,
the pearl in it's crystal simplicity of
color. the sapphire with it's blue tinges
flashing at each turn all ruled with the
hand of beauty and symmetry of de-
sign.
Winking on it's occupants and cast
ing its light so their beauty was en-
HANGED many times the moon float
again drew expressions of delight from
the crowd. The tourmaline, the coral,
the CRYSTAL, the diamond and the cats
eve. all reproduced as faithfully as ar
tificial means could devise, and their
advent along the streets was the sig
nal for repeated cheers from the spec
tators.
The bands were all there, too.
Swinging along in their places in line
the musicians worked overtime to ap-
pease the spectators, who would clamor
for more as soon as one selection was
finished. Every tune that ever was
written was rendered at one stage or
other ND and down the line of march,
and even then some of the bands had
to repeat before their we'll rewarded
efforts were allowed to desist.
Taken all together the parade was
the most gorgeous spectacle OF tne
kind the people of Southern California,
as we'll as most of the Visitors ever
had a chance to witness. The full
blown radiance of the floats, the beauty
of their occupants and the general set
ting of the entire pageant made it a
mark in the epoch. of electrical pa
rades, and were it to be repeated every
night for year the people would never
tire of it's ever-changing beauty.
