RAILWAY COMPANY is
MAKING CURVES SAFER

Curves similar to the one in Eagle
Rock on which the wreck occurred Sun
daYzevening are being made safer by
theIIIos Angeles Railway company. The
sharp curve at Marmion way and
Monte Vista street on the Garvanza
liIlesis being strengthened, the outer
raH is being elevated and new and
stronger ties are being laid. The Eagle
Rock curve is almost a perfect repro
duGtion of the one on the Garvanza
lines
On the latter an accident occurred
few nights ago which cost no lives ow-
iHigsto the fact that freight instead OF
passenger cars were wrecked. Two
heavy cars loaded with freight and run
ming fast struck the curve and were
ditehed, tearing up the track for dis
tance of several yards.
ZAqforce of men was at work yester-
day strengthening this particular
stretch of roadway and elevating the
otter rail to such an extent that a
wreck will be impossible if cars are
kept under control.
frile costly lesson taught by the Eagle
Rock disaster is being taken to heart
by .motormen. On many lines yesterday
there was an extraordinary slackeninS
ofrspeed as cars approached sharp
curves, and the men at the controllers
appeared more then usually solicitous
for the safety of their passengers and
themselves.

SUBWAY MEASURE

PASSES FROM CITY ATT0R-

Northwestern Property Owners Who
Were Becoming Uneasy Over De-
lay, Look for Quick Work
o1 the Project

Anxiety of northwestern residents
concerning the fate of the subway
measure for Hill street was settled
yesterday when, City Attorney Leslie
r. Hewitt turned the ordinance over
to the mayors office.
Representatives of the northwest
who rema. ed about the council cham
ber and mayors office did not know
this and departed in the evening Won
dering what kind of a snag the meas
ure had struck in the city attorney s
office. The fact that Mr.. Hewitt has
recommended against certain features
of the law which he regards as con-
trary to the charter, but which the
railway company is willing to take
chances on, made the situation inter-
esting.
City Attorney Hewitt said last night:
II turned the ordinance over to the
mayors office myself this afternoon.
Saturday the mayor was busy and to-
day 1 have been busy with the council,
hence 1 did not have an opportunity to
turn the bill over"
Former Judge Albert Stephens and
others say the company will begin
work in less than two months after
the ordinance has been approved and
they are anxious to see such sequel.
In the meantime the board of public
work is pushing along proceedings SO
that the twin tunnel along the Los
Angeles-Pacific company's bore may
be completed as soon as the trolley
section.
Twin tunnels cost less than the big
bore orinally planned and the work
will probably be done in shorter time.
The Los Angeles-Pacific will use
these tunnels, extending through Hill
street practically from First to Tenn
pie. to shorten the time to Hollywood.

YOUNG WOMEN IN
PLEASING DRAMA
Members of sodaIity Present "The

Scenes Elaborate

"The Blind Princess" or the "Shep-
herdess of Lourdes," religious drama
in five acts, was successfully presented
last night by the Young Ladies sodality
of st. Joseph's parish in the parish hall.
The drama, depicting the early days of
the famous grotto at Lourdes, France,
called for an elaborate setting, which
was amply furnished. and for beautiful
costuming, which was feature of the
play. The play centered around the
grotto and then changed to Spain,
where the interior of the court was de-
picted.
All members of the cast deserve spe-
cial mention for the clear delivery of
their lines and the enthusiasm with
which the roles were essayed. The

was played by Miss Jennie Schools;

"BULL" WHITE STARTS FOR
e5 PENITENTIARY AT LAST

tAfter five years of confinement in the
county Jail, during which he filed no
less than eight appeals, John White
known as Bull was last night taken
to san Quentin prison to serve a rs
year Sentence for a brutal assault
upon Mrs. Kate A. Dripps.
White was recognized as leader in
the notorious gang of thugs known as
Coyotes, and the crime for which he
was convicted was one of the most
atrocious in the countys history.
Had he accepted the sentence as
passed upon him nearly ftVe years
ago he would now have at least a
third of it to his credit.
But by persistently appealing to the
hfgher courts in an effort to have his
conviction set aside, he must now be-
rim the entire term. White has re-
5eatedly boasted that he would never

TEACHERS GIVEN
SALARY INCREASE
ADVANCE AMOUNTS TO ABOUT
TWENTY PER CENT
Board Of Education Adopts a Scale
Which Means Substantial Bene-
fit to Instructors in All
Grades

Los Angeles school teachers will re-
meeting of the board of education last
night scale of salaries calling for the
payment of twelve monthly INSTALL
ments of the same amount they for
nerly drew only ten months in the
year was adopted after considerable
discussion. This will affect all teach
ers in the grades and high schools. The
principals of several schools will re-
ceive a trif1e less than the 20 per cent,
and kindergarten teachers will receive
several dollars more than the 20 per
cent.
Considerable discussion arose as to
when the first of the new salaries
should be paid. Joseph Scott, presi-
dent of the board, was in favor of be-
ginning In July to help tide the teach
ers over the vacation months. After
some opposition to this he finally con-
sented to a scheme whereby the teach
ers will receive their fifth and sixth
warrants at the end of the fifth month
and the eleventh and twelfth at the
close of the tenth school month.
Must Sign Contract
In accordance with a rule passed by
the board last night, every teacher be-
IOre DelnB employed ny lHe uepdTI-
ment will have to file a written accept
ance of her election and subscribe to
form of contract. The new order Is as
follows:
ION or before August 1, 1907, each
teacher elected to position in the
schools of the city of Los Angeles must
file with the secretary of the board
written acceptance of such election and
of all the terms and conditions thereof;
that is to say:
" To the Board of Education of the
City of Los Angeles.
"'I hereby accept all the terms and
conditions under and by which l have
been elected as a teacher in the schools
of said city for the school year ending
June 80, 1908, or for a less time, as may
be determined by you.
"'Signed.. d......................
Residence. ..................
"'Dated d....................190 $780,.
"The failure of any teacher to file
such written acceptance may be deemed
a refusal or declination of the terms of
this contract, and the election of such
teacher shall have no force or effect,
and the board have the right to declare
such position vacant"

MAYOR FAvoRs GAR TENDERS
Committee of the Whole Probably viii
Make No Exemptions

If the committee of the whole of the
city council should on Saturday decide
to allow interurban railway companies
to do without tenders inside the city
limits-and this is not likely-the
mayor will probably veto the measure.
To intimate friends the executive
has expressed himself thus. The city
attorney has advised that it would be
illegal to permit some cars to carry
tenders and to exempt others.
Councilmen Pease, Wallace, Drom-
gold and Wren are regarded as being
opposed to any exemption, believing
that the companies should remove or
attach the tenders as they please at
the city limits, coming and going.
With four votes for the measure
promised, it would be hard to pass 1t
over the mayors veto.
