Rotary Engine Stock in Big Demand;

From TOmorrow-March Sixth
Local Investors Enthusiastic Over the Demonstrations Made by
This Wonder of the Century-the Greatest
Steam Engine Ever Built

Investors in Los Angeles are awaken
ry Steam Engine is indeed one of the
marvellous inventions of the century
that it is going to be repetition of the
long list of fabulous money makers in
the industrial and commercial world.
The value of it's shares, while they cost
only paltry dollars today, will soon be
worth many times the dollar price of
the present.
In conversation with a gentleman
from Spokane, tie home of the parent
company, and who lives almost next
door to the inventor of this little mar
vel, the writer learned that the factory
is now busy as can be making these
engines. Six months behind on orders.
To demonstrate the utility of the en-
gine an automobile was equipped with
one, and the demonstrations have set
all local automobilists wild over it's
performance. AS a marine engine it
had long ago proven it's superiority.
If it could be used only for these two
purposes it would prove it's right as a
revolutionary influence in power prac-
tice and use for these industries, but
its value as a power producer is as
varied as the field. Wherever engine
power is used this type will absolutely
displace all others because of it's first
cost of installation, it's exceedingly low
cost of up-keep, and its economy in
space.
The best way for you to prove what
this engine can really do is to go down
to 212 Mercantile place and see it. Mr..
James Austin Larson vice president
and trustee. says the sale of the stock
in the local field here has been very
successful and the shares at one dollar

OPPOSE SALOONS
IN SHOESTR|NC
COUNClLMEN DISCUSS OLD
LICENSES
Four Keepers of Liquor Dispensares
Opposed Annexation, Knowing
Los Angeles Would Put
the Lid Down

For two hours the council committee
of the whole yesterday discussed the
saloon question as 1t affects the shoe
string strip.
Four old established saloons which
operated under a county license had to
close up after the strip was voted part
of Los Angeles.
Owners have asked for relief, saying
that they had paid their money to the
county and they ought to be allowed to
operate.
Nearly all the councilmen present who
did not go TO the Germain building fire
took part in the discussion over the
peoples rights in the case.
1t was contended by some that as all
the saloonkeepers knew what annexa-
tion meant plenty of warning had been
given to seek new locations.
Councilman Wallace took the position
that clearly the dramshop men had no
right under the county licenses now
They should have prepared for even
Qualities. AS far as he knew the saloon
men even fought against annexation.
knowing that the liquor zone rule would
put them out of business.
The majority of the councimen are
inclined to take more liberal view of
the situation, and the question may be
fought out on the floor.

WOMEN'S CLUBS
Education Day Is Great Success

1.-The Soul of Education is the Educa-
tion of the Soul was the substance of a
most interesting talk delivered yester-
day afternoon by DR.. John Willis Baer,
president of Occidental college, at a re-
ception given by the members of the
Highland Park Ebell at Woods hall,
Pasadena avenue.
Education Day" was yesterday
title in the Highland Park Ebell pro-
gram, and Mrs Williel Thompson,
chairman of the committee on educa-
tion, was In charge of the afternoon,
which was a great success in social as
we'll as educational lines.
DR.. Baer spoke informally to the
parents on the relation of the home to
the school, and he said that the COM
plant of overwork was in most cases
ill-founded, that the complaining per-
son was more often overoccupied than
overworked. He objected to the gem
eral criticism of methods which are
probably known better to their instiga-
tor than to the outsider as unjust but
said that a systematic criticism was
excellent.
Miss Carlotta Thornton, principal Of
the Fifty-fourth Avenue school. gave
an excellent talk on THE Relation of
the Parent to the School," She con-
tended that the teachers should not be
criticised so much by the parents, but
the case under consideration should be
investigated first.
1.-The Relation of the Public School to
Higher Education" was the subject of
an address by Mrs. d. M. Hammack
She thought that personal knowledge
of the pupil by the teacher was the best
method In the schools.
After the speeches a reception was
held. and Mrs. M. G, Osmond. the presi-
dent of the club; was assisted in her
duties of hostess by Miss Frances Rob-
inson, Mrs. c. II. Queen, Mrs. G. l.
Richie, Mrs. w. A. Clark and Mrs, S. M.
Hastings.

of attempting to assault Bessie Frentz,
the 7-year-old daughter of Charles S.
Frentz, painter and decorator, in rear

doors from his place of business when
a little girl ran in and told him that his
daughter was being held In a building
in rear of the shop by a man. Frentz
ran to the place. and is said to have
found Stein and the little girl in a shed.

ton and booked on a charge of assault.

this week should see the closing of
every one of the allotment he has on
hand. One week from tomorrow the
price will be one dollar and fifty cents
a share.
If you had the chance to buy West
ern Union, Westinghouse Air Control
and similar industrial shares at one
dollar, wouldn't you buy up every dol
lars worth you could get hold of? Well
here is another just such opportunity
Here is an absolute necessity to the
manufacturing and Industrial world
Not a theoretical, built on paper, ma
chine, that looks as though it ought
to run, but an actual engine, with only
three working parts-absolutely the
most simple steam engine ever built,
ready to prove it's ability and win your
consideration.
And just as certain as night follows
day this stock will rank :th the other
fabulously high-priced stocks of the in
dustrial world.
An investment now means a profit of
90 per cent within a fortnight, for no.
tice has gone out that after Wednes-
day. March 6, all shares unsold will
then be listed at one dollar and fifty
cents-one week from tomorrow. Wis
dom says that if you have money to
put to good use here is the place and
today is the time to get busy. Investi-
gate this marvel in the engine world.
At 212 Mercantile place a model is on
display, and Mr.. Larson will prove
what is being accomplished by the
engine, as well as show you the enor-
nous profits possible from the manu-
facture and sale of them. You are not
taking a stock in a prospective busi-
ness, remember but in going concern,
and in a growing one as well. Do it
today.

That conditions dsgraceful to a city
exist in the Los Angeles receiving hos
rital was shown yesterday in the first
days hearing of the council special
committee, with Chairman Walter Wren
presiding.
This examination, held in the city
hall, grows out of the split in the coun-
Gil over whether two chief surgeons
shall operate the receiving hospital, with
assistants, or whether one man shall
be in charge, with three assistants.
Revolving stories of cruelty due to the
hydra-headed management have been
current for years al police and city hall
haunts and now that they are coming
out sensational disclosures may be ex-
pected.
The recent alleged whitewashing of
DR.. Charles Freedman, one of the hos
pital surgeons, was responsible for Au-
topsy Physician G.. w. Campbell COM
ing forward to testify as citizen, not
as expert.
DIR. Campbell told of the gross cruel
ty and inattention to which patients
were subjected, few ever being given
anaesthetics.
Men thrown into this place are
thrown into Jail atmosphere" he tes-
tilted. "HowlS of drunken prisoners fill
their ears.
1.-The surgeons have been knocking
each other instead of attending TO bus
mess"
In the case of the Mexican who had
abdominal stab wounds, the attendants
made him sit up in the ambulance
while a "trusty" wiped his gaping
wounds. This is the case over which
DR.. Freedman was hauled before the
civil service commission"
DIR. Campbell said conditions would
be different with a new hospital, where
| graft in drugs, traffic in dead bodies,
| politics and young surgeons using hos
pital jobs merely to build up private
practices did not prevail.
The hearing will be on again today.

LET OUTSIDERS
TRY EXAMINATION
Public Library Will Let Down the Bars
In Special Case, but All Other
Applicants Have Equal
Chance

Once more the old issGe whether
separate examinations should be held
on separate days for public library
places, so that persons from the east
could take several examinations and
thus work more rapidly in the line OF
promotion came up yesterday before
the civil service commissioners.
In this case a young woman noted
in library work surrendered a chance
to get a good library position in Port
land, Ore, on assurances by Los An
geles library officials that she could get
a position here and take three exam
nations In succession, thus giving her
opportunities for advancement worth
while.
In consideration of sacrifices made
the commission decided to hold the
next two examinations late in March
and on one day-one in the morning
,and one in the afternoon. This will
give all applicants chance to take
the examinations.

CIVIL SERVICE

commissioners VIII Ask Council to
Grant Extra HeIp-Law Makes
II Mandatory to Accede
to Request

Because the city councils finance
committee laid down the rule that
there would be no increases in depart
ments involving larger salaries until
after July 1, the civil service commits
sion resolved yesterday to appear in a
body before the council Monday to ask
that two more attaches be installed in
the office.
The charter makes 1t almost manda-
tory for the council to vote money for
all needful expenses for the commits
sion, of which provision the city's law
maker doubtless are not aware. That
at least is the view the commission
took.
Whether the council allows it or not
the extra help will be hired, it is stated,
Jas the need is urgent.
