COUNCIL s SESSION
WILL Be LENGTHY
REQUISlTI0N LAW IMPOSES
PENALTIES
Electric Sign and Fender Measures
Probably VIII Provoke Lengthy
Debates by the Law
makers

Today's session of the city council
will be given up largely to a discus
sion of the new ordinance making it a
misdemeanor to buy supplies for the
city without due authority.
This was proposed long ago by Au-
ditor Mushet and Councilman Wren,
who Is chairman of the supply COM
mittee, and grows out of the many un-
authorized purchases made daily for
the different departments.
1t is stated that Saturday alone 240
demands which were irregular were
considered before the finance commit
tee.
After much painstaking work the city
attorneys Office has drawn up meas
ure which has met with the approval
of the committee of the whole, which,
If passed today, will impose fines rang
ing as high as 5000 and Imprisonment
running as high as thirty days on
heads of departments or their agents
for violating the law.
One clause specifies what constitutes
an emergency under which instanta-
neous purchases may be made, includ
ing fires, floods, wash-outs, cave-ins,
serving court papers, etc. These
emergency purchases must have the
approval subsequently of the supply
committee.
Some discussion may be expected
when the electric sign ordinance is in
troduced. This measure was drawn up
at the instance of Mayor Harper at
the request of leading retail merchants
who favor a great white way at night
along the illuminated retail streets.
The bill suits the electric companies,
but some painters are protesting be-
cause metallic signs exclusively are
insisted on. The signs must be hinged
or portable so that by day they may
swing back and not obstruct vistas Of
the streets.
1t is understood that nothing will be
done in regard to an anti-prize fight
ordinance because the councilmen are
divided on prohibition of fighting OF
merely regulation. Republican MEM
bers say to prohibit the game would
simply drive 1t to Venice or somewhere
beyond the city limits and give the
San Francisco fight trust chance to
take away the money. 1t is believed
eventually a bill will be passed doing
away with referees. There will be no
decisions and hence no betting.
The finance committee has decided to
transfer sufficient funds to carry on
the work of the outfall sewer, and ap-
proval will be sought from the council
After the Owens river bonds another
bond election may be called for sewer,
fire and bridge purposes If the city s
bonding capacity is not entirely ex-
hausted.
The fender law, excepting the inter-
urban lines from the necessity of car
rying tenders, will also furnish a sub
ject for debate,

GENERAL CHAFFEE
IS NOT SELECTED
MAYOR RELUCTANTLY GIVES
UP PLAN
Finds Charter Provision Requires Res
idence of Five Years for Member
of Water Board-Another
Capacity Probable

Owing to the fact that he is not
| legally competent to serve on the body,
| Gen. Adna r. Chaffee will not be
asked by Mayor Harper to serve on
the water board as was freely rumored
Saturday.
Gen. Chaffe's residence here OF but
one year precludeS any chance of
adding him to the official family of
the city's chief executive, as the law
governing the case expressly states
that an appointee to the water board
must have lived in Los Angeles at least
five years Immediately preceding his
holding the office.
1t was Mayor Harper's hope that he
could secure Gen. Chaffee as a member
of the water board, and not until he
learned the facts did the mayor give up
all efforts in that direction. Gen.
Chaffee's ability, both as a soldier and
a citizen, appeals strongly to the may
or, and the generals knowledge of the
work in hand, gained in many years Of
similar duties on the field, may be lost
to Los Angeles for another four years
at least.
However, it is thought that when the
work of actual construction begins the
city officials will be able to prevail
upon Gen. Chaffee to lend his talents
to the work in hand and assist in car
rying the big waterway to a successful
completion. He need not be a member
of the water board itself to help in the
work and Mayor Harper will doubt
less endeavor to enlist his well-known
capabilities as an engineer and leader
of forces in the monster project which
will be undertaken when Owens river
water is brought to Los Angeles.

HAYWOOD TRIAL
PROCEEDS SLOWLY
ONLY SEVEN JURORS so FAR
ACCEPTED
From Present Indications Attorneys
DO Not Believe Testimony VIII
Be Offered Before Next
Monday
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BOISE, Idaho, May 26.-From pres
ent indications it would seem that an
other week must elapse before the TAX
ing of testimony can begin in the case
of William G. Haywood, first of the
'inner circle" of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners to face a jury in answer
to the states charge Of conspiring to
murder former Governor Steunenberg.
But twelve members of the second
special venire of proposed jurynen re-
main. A thirteenth talesman was
drawn Saturday afternoon just prior to
adjournment and is confined to the
trial panel. He has yet to be exam
ined as to all Of his qualifications.
In addition to the vacancy which he
may or may not fill there remain four
peremptory challenges, two with the
prosecution and two with the defense.
The opposing attorneys seem determ-
MED to use I'D every challenge the law
allows. This means that only seven
final Jurors have been selected-a little
more than one-half-and the trial has
been in progress for more than two
weeks actual time.
The jury may, be completed Friday
evening or Saturday. In either event 1t
is probable that the attorneys for the
state will ask for an adjournment until
Monday morning in order that the
opening address or statement of the
prosecutions case may Immediately be
followed by support evidence.
The people of Boise, busy with the
social and commercial activities of their
prosperous little city and never wildly
excited about the trial, have become
less interested than ever because of the
delay in securing q jury.

FAMOUS PAINTER
DIES IN POVERTY
PAUL MORAN EXPIRES AT THE
COUNTY HOSPITAL
Was Son of President Of the National
Academy in New York, and Him
self Was Noted as a Por-
trait Artist

Paul Moran, son of Thomas Moran
the famous landscape painter of 81
West Twenty-second street, New York
and himself a portrait painter of note
died at the county hospital at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon of plural menin-
gifts.
The young man is famous for his
paintings and for several years his
work has been on exhibition at the
Academy of Design in New York. He
was also an accomplished musician
and was known as the author of a
number of fine compositions.
His father, Thomas Moran, is one OF
the best known painters in the United
States. He is president of the National
academy and has had paintings on ex-
hibition in the Paris galleries num-
ber of times.
Paul Moran came to Los Angeles
about four years ago. About one year
previous to the time he came west his
mother died, and this loss caused the
young man so much anguish his health
failed him. 1t was thought visit to
Los Angeles would aid him In recover
ing his lost health, but the change did
not avail him, as his strength steadily
decreased until the time of his death.
In Financial Difficulties
geles Moran's eyesight began to fail,
but he hesitated to inform his eastern
relatives and friends OF this fact. His
funds began to sink, but despite the
fact that hundreds of his former friends
stood ready to aid him he refused to
let them know of his predicament, and
during the last year has frequently
been reduced to the greatest want. He
was secretive about his affairs and
very sensitive, and only few Of his
closest friends knew the condition OF
his financial affairs.
About three weeks ago, Ill and with
out funds, Moran applied at the county
hospital for assistance. He was placed
in one of the wards and for several
days even his closest friends did not
know where he was. w. E. Ransom,
1926 Essex street, was the first to learn
where Moran was and he went to the
hospital with offers of aid.
Moran insisted that he was in need
of no assistance, but said he expected
to soon regain his health and return to
his former homo in New York.
The body was taken to Bresee Bros.
establishment and will be
held there until word is received from
Mr.. Moran's relatives.
Thomas Moran, the father of the
young man, recently sold two paintings
of the Grand Canyon of Colorado to the
United States government for $4,000
each. These paintings are now hung in
the Corcoran art gallery In Washing
ton.

DECOMPOSED BODY

derloin. The other wore a mustache.
Receive Visitor
The men had been visited, she said,
by a man wearing clerical garb who
looked not unlike the murdered man.
She thought that this man called at 8
O'clock last Wednesday evening. No
one heard any unusual noises that day.
Late Wednesday afternoon an express
wagon brought to the house the trunk
which later was found to contain the
body.
One of the dodgers, with the aid of a
young man who drove the express
wagon, carried the trunk with conside-
rable difficulty. Mrs. Sherer asked her
roorners for the rent due. They pointed
to the trunk and said it would be found
to contain ample security for what they
owed. Later the men said that the
trunk was not theirs, and that mis-
take had been made.
1t remained in the house, however,
and was there the next morning, al
though the roomers had left before Mrs.
Sherer was up. She did not see them
again. The next day unpleasant odors
were detected coming from the room
and today Mrs. Sherer appealed to the
police and the trunk was forced open.
The body was removed to the morgue
and the police began a minute eXami-
nation of it's hiding place.
1t was a cheaply built affair, and
showed marks of hard usage. Inside the
trunk was printed name that looked
like L. E. Parks. On the chest was
the name Ermovian.
Find Neck Broken
The autopsy developed that the neck
had been broken, as had one arm.
Coroner's Physician Lehane declared,
however, that death was due to suffo-
cation. The internal organs were con-
gested, and DR.. Leblanc gave it as his
opinion that the man was thrust into
the trunk while alive and the cover of
the trunk had been held Town until
death ensued.
The condition of the organs was
found to be similar as in cases of as
phyxia.
On the left wrist the date 1894 was
tattooed with little stars and on the
right wrist was wreathe with cross.
There were two little tattooed circles on
the back of the right hand, each about
the size of a dime.
A dozen detectives were set to work
on the case and tonight a dozen physi-
clans living in the vicinity of Mrs
Sherer's home were examined at police
headquarters.
Nothing conclusive had been estab-
liShed at late hour.

News Spreads Rapidly
Telegrams that Mrs. Mckinley had
passed away were posted on bulletin
boards here and the news spread rapidly
throughout the city Scores Of tele-
grams of sympathy were sent TO Mrs.
McKinley's sister, Mrs. Barber, by
prominent government officials, diplo-
mats and others who had known Mrs.
Mckinley when she was the first lady
of the land.
President Roosevelt and members OF
the cabinet sent words Of coincidence as
soon as they learned of her death.
During the four and half years' in
cumbency of Mr. Mckinley in the
White House, Mrs. Mckinley was in
poor health and did not take very
active part in the social life of the
capital.
On important state occasions she
would take her place in the receiving
line, but on other occasions the presi-
dents niece, Miss Mabel Mckinley,
who subsequently became Mrs. Baer.
would act as hostess.
In the spring of 1901, when President
Mckinley visited the Pacific coast, Mrs.
Mckinley was stricken in California
and was desperately i'll for several
weeks, and for nearly a fortnight little
hope was entertained for her recovery.
After returning to Washington she
suffered a relapse and for many days
was at the point Of death.
