PIANOS AT WHITE HOUSE. =.
Two New I~struments Secured for the
Presidents Large
Family.

Two magnificent concert grand
pianos were carried into the white
house the other day and placed in the
blue and green parlors. The reason
for the two is that there never was
but one piano in the white house. and
this had to be moved from room to
room until it had become time-worn
and almost beyond repair. The two
instruments placed as they now are
will obviate this trouble.
Some pleasant musicals will he ada

Washington will play and sing for
the president and his friends. This is
a delicate compliment to artists ava
one that will be appreciated by them

WANTS RETAINING WALL
AT THIRD STREET TUNNEL

Councilman Wren is anxious that the
city build a retaining wall at the west
end of the Third street tunnel.
1t is an old subject with the council,
lack of funds having defeated previous
attempts to lengthen the structure.
When the tunnel was built the west
ern extremity ended in the center or
Hope street. This was satisfactory to
the property owners then as the city
promised to build a division wall at
right angles to the tunnels end. This
wall would have divided Hope street
in such a way that half of it would
be on level with the tunnel entrance
and the other end pass up the hill.
During the last administration the
plan reached the point where a con-
tract was let to James Hill for $19,OO0
to build the wall, but the incoming
board of public works declared the pro-
ceedings irregular and the question was
dropped.
Councilman Wren will probably re-
open the problem at the meeting of the
finance committee Saturday or the
council on Monday.
The city has just let to the National
Bridge company for $7S5 contract for
underpinning the north wall at the
west portal of the Third street tunnel,
where a weakness has developed
Others bids ranged as high as 1881,
which Roberd Beyrle proposed. The
Mercereau Bridge and Construction
company and Western CONSTRUCTION
company bid a little less.

DRUIDS PREPARE FOR BIG
CONVENTION NEXT MONTH

Almost 1900 delegates of the Ancient
Order of Druids will come to Los An
geles June II to attend the forty-third
annual convention of the order, which
will be held in Los Angeles from June II
to 90 The meeting is expected to be the
largest and most important in the his
tory of the order.
Sacramento, Stockton, Amador and
other sections of California will send
delegations. Mayor Schmitz of San
Francisco has been elected as dele :
gate, but it is not thought that he will
attend for private reasons. Former
Judge Barr of San Francisco will have a
prominent position on the program. The
local Druids are working hard to enter
tain their guests, and a special meeting
was held last night to complete ar
rangementS.
Besides the business part of the con-
vention many diversions are being pro-
vided to entertain the visitors. The
session will end with a big banquet at
Turner hall June 20. Covers will be laid
for 500 or more.

LOCAL CHURCHES WILL
HAVE "OWENS RIVER DAY.

The ringing Endorsement of the Owens
river water bonds by the ministerial
union, which pledged the clergymen Of
the city who are it's members to awaken
the minds of their congregation to the
importance of the issue, has been added
to the water question. Many ministers
are preparing to discuss the question
from their pulpits next Sunday.
This will be Owens river day" in the
local churches, and the $2S,00O,0O0 bond
issue will receive such an Endorsement
as has probably never before been given
a political move in the history of Amer
lean cities.
Rev. William Horace Day, pastor of
the First Congregational church, will
give an illustrated lecture on the Owens
river project to the members of his con-
gregation next Sunday evening.
Rev. E. H. Brooks, pastor of the
Figueroa Street Baptist church, Forty
ninth and Figueroa street, also will lee
ture on the water bonds issue next Sum
day evening, taking his text from the
Revelations, HE showed me pure
river"
81 believe in taking my subjects from
living issues" said Mr.. Brooks yester-
day, land surely there is no more living
issue in Los Angeles today than the
securing of the Owens river water by
the $23,000000 of bonds"

ASKS COURT FOR
LONG SENTENCE
Victim of Drug Habit Requests Judge
Smith to Help Him Resist
BanefuI Influence of
Morphine

Il am morphine fiend, your honor,
and got the habit in the Los Angeles
city Jail four years ago while serving
a ninety-day sentence"
Such was the declaration made to
Judge Smith in the superior court yes
terday by H. Ballard, who had few
moments before pleaded guilty to the
charge of petit larceny after previous
conviction.
Ballard was arraigned before Justice
Frederickson Monday and plead guilty,
the east if the court would suspend
sentence.
He was given twenty-foura hours to
get out of town, but instead of keeping
his promise he went directly to the
Hamburger department store and stole
an ostrich plume valued at $40.
Within two hours after being released
from custody, and while trying to dis
pose of his booty at local pawn shop,
he was again arrested.
When arraigned in the superior court
yesterday he told straight story of
the theft of the feather and asked the
court to send him up long enough to
break him of the habit.
"Well, how long do you think it will
take to cure you?" asked Judge Smith.
about two MONTHS" Ballard replied,
but think 1 ought to have at least a
year, don't you, judge?"
why, yes, think year would be
about right. You can have year at
San Quentin"
Couldn't you make that Folsom Just
as easy, your honor? I have relatives
at Folsom, but not in prison, and 1
would like to be near them.'
well, well, and how did you become
addicted to the use of morphia 2" the
court asked, and the prisoner replied
that he had acquired it at the city jail.
The court directed the clerk to record
the sentence as desired.
