SCHOOL BONDS ENDORSED
BY MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
Executive Committee Passes Resolu-
tons Declaring Growth of City
Renders Construction of Build
ings imperative

The executive committee of the Mu-
nicipal league has passed resolutions
indorsing the issue of school bonds.
The resolutions are as follows:
las the welfare of this city depends
largely on the condition of its public
schools and the hearty support and
encouragement with which the COM
munity stands behind them, and since
the population, which has grown from
$1,000 in 1900 to 302, 900 in 1908, is under
obligation to make corresponding pro-
vision for its children:
"Inasmuch as the high schools which
now exist are oVercrowded to a dis
tressing and dangerous degree, and
students have been compelled to stand
in line all night to get a chance to reg
lister in them, and consequently a new
high school is imperatively needed just
as soon as it can be built:
and inasmuch as new elementary
schools are an absolute necessity in
several of the more rapidly growing
quarters of the city school district;
Nov, therefore, be it resolved, That
the Municipal league of Los Angeles,
expressing its appreciation of school
work and school accomplishments, and
its confidence in the judgment and eff
cheney of the board of education and
it's officers and teachers in charge of
the schools, most heartily indorses the
bond issue of S240, 10000 for elementary
schools and $4S0,00O for high schools
on which the board of education has
called the people to vote January 6
next. and that we urge the support of
these measures by our fellow citizens
as civic body"

WERDlN STILL DOGS
CONTRACTORS TRAIL
SAYS PAVING IS NOT UP TO
SPECIFICATIONS
Declares inspector No Better Than
His Predecessor and Appeals
Again to Board Of Pub
llcs Works

Having made life miserable for the
Fairchild- Gilmore-W Wilton paving con-
tractors over the Grand avenue pave
ment, E. r. Werdin, general manager
of the Western Pacific Paving COM
pany, is bounding the same concern
in connection with the pavement 1t
is laying on jefferson street.
Mr. Werdin declares the inspector on
the job is not doing his duty. He
says the pavement is being laid ninety
square feet to the barrel of cement,
while under the specifications the most
that could be got out of barrel
would be seventy square feet. He has
brought up the matter before the board
of public works and that body has
promised to investigate.
So often did Mr.. Werdin protest
against an inspector employed on the
Grand avenue pavement that the board
of public works instructed Homer
Hamlin, city engineer, to investigate.
Mr.. Hamlin found Mr. Werdin's
charges were based on facts and dis
charged the inspector.
Mr.. Werdin now declares that T. Il.
NJ. Lellan, the inspector in charge of
the Jefferson street pavement, is as
lax in his duty as was the inspector
on the Grand avenue pavement.

ADVOCATES CHANGES
IN SCHOOL AUDITING
Daily Time Book System for Each
Building Recommended to the
Board of Edu-
cation

Auditor Mcbride of the board of
education made several long reports
to that body last night respecting ac-
counting matters and claims in con-
nection with which he recommended
changes of numerous methods of the
board to expedite the work of the
auditor. Among these is the inStalla-
ton of a daily time book system in
every school under the direction of
the principal, on which is to be re-
ported the time of each school teacher
and janitor daily.
City superintendent of Schools
Moore reported to the board that a
large number of organizations had in
dorsed the bond election to be held
next month and had urged their MEM
bers to vote for the bonds. Among
the bodies which have done this are
the chamber of commerce., Merchants
and Manufacturers association, Church
federation, Municipal league, Los An
gelus realty board, Central Labor coun-
/ Gil, Liberal alliance, German-American
alliance, Juvenile Improvement asso-
citation, Friday Morning club, Gamut
club and numerous fraternal improve
ment and other local associations.
"All the student members of frater-
mites, sororities and secret CLUBS at
the Polytechnic high school who are
known to us have resigned" said DR..
Moore in his report, land the resigna-
tions of 100 students of the Los An
gelus high school from such fraterni-
ties, sororities and secret clubs have
been placed in my hands. This leaves
but a very few students who do not
care for the recommendation of the
school admitting to college without
examination and who are still members
of the fraternities. These students, ac-
cording to the rule, have until Janu-
airy 80 in which to relinquish their
membership"
The board of education win hold its
annual meeting at noon next Monday
to elect officers and appoint standing
] committees.

plunged into the building, where he
saw the frightened animal covering
in the corner farthest from the flames,
utterly refusing to come out to a safe
place.
The fire surrounded Saults, while en-
hers from the roof, carrying live Goals
and flames, continuously dropped on
his head and neck. After making a
hasty but Intellectual attempt to rescue
the dog, Saults beat a retreat to the
outside, where he procured heavy
blanket, with which he protected his
head and body. Again entering the
building he was enabled to reach the
collie, and this time he took the trem-
bling pet in his arms and carried it out
of the blazing building. The blanket
was afire in several places, but Saults
did not receive any burns on his second
trip in the building, all of his burns
being inflicted in his first hurried en-
deavors.
Saults speaks lightly of his act of
heroism and said he would have done
as much for any helpless animal.
Saults previously was a patrolman
or the Philadelphia police force, and
says the discipline there taught one
to go ahead and do things, whether
perilous or otherwise, as long as duty
required it.

MONDAYS USUAL BUSTLE
City Council Will Meet Today and
Pass Final Ordinance Calling
Election for Charter
Amendments

Instead of the usual Monday hustle
with which frequenters of the city hall
are familiar the seat of municipal gov
eminent yesterday presented a Sunday
calm. This was due to the fact that
council meetings have been changed
from Monday afternoons to Tuesday
mornings. The council will meet this
morning and transact the regular bust
ness.
There is little of Importance to come
before the legislators, and it is probable
the entire session can be concluded In
the morning.
The council will pass the final or
dinance calling the election for charter
amendments February 2. The amend
ments have been published for the re-
auired period, and, by passing the or
dinance for the election at once they

LOVE FOR GUARDIAN

OF GREAT hEROISM
CHlLDREMS PET CANINE RES
CUED FROM FLAMES
Save Faithful Collie and Is
Himself Burned
Seriously

Fondness for a highly bred Scotch
collie dog, which for nearly a year
has been the daily companion and
guardian of his two little children, re-
suited Sunday evening in the unsual
act of heroism on the part of Robert
Saults, 617 San Julian avenue, which
temporarily has crippled him.
Saults says he did nothing out of the
ordinary, but this statement is refuted
by the facts that his left hand and
the back of his neck are swathed In
bandages as a result of the burns he
received in preventing his children's
dog from perishing in the flames which
about o'clock Sunday evening, were
Adestroying a stable and workshop II
the rear of his home.
Mr.. Saults and his family were
aroused by cries of fire which were
heard emanating from the street anc
found the stable and workshop was
ablaze. The building is of wood ano

Saults reached it.

DONE AT SAME OLD PRICE
Company That owns All the Power
conduIts Submits Solitary Bid
and Will Share Its
Profits

The contract for lighting the city
streets was let to the Los Angeles Gas
and Electric company yesterday by the
board of public works. This company
was the only one that submitted bid,
because 1t owns all the power conduits
running through the city streets.
The power will be furnished by the
Pacific Light and Power company to
the Los Angeles company, and both
concerns will share in the profits. Tie
price asked is $3.50 month a light.
This is the same price the city has
been paying for the last year.
The bid was accompanied by one of
the largest certified checks Horace b.
Ferris, secretary of the board of pub
lie works, has had to handle. The
amount was $40. 1890 Usually as large
a sum as this is covered by a bidders

BIDS ON WORK OF CEMENT

Construction Is Undertaken for Relief
of Garvanzs Property Owners Who
Threaten City with Suit for
Damages

The board of public works yesterday
dpened bids for the construction of ce-
nlent cuIverts under Pasadena avenue
and Marmion way. There was big
difference in the prices asked. One
contractor asked as high as $ll96 for
the culvert under Marmion way and
!, s1Os9 for that under Pasadena avenue.
The lowest bid was $375 for the Mar
mion way culvert and $115 for that on
Pasadena avenue.
z These culverts are to be built to let
he water out of Garvanza and into its
Natural water course. Unless this Is
ssaonk soon the property owners in Gar
Stan1a. who are affected by the water
sEavA threatened to bring suit against
Ne lity for damages, and the city at

pood cause for complaint.
when the water is let through the
oslverts it will flow down Arroyo Seeo

life at stake there could be no hesita-
ton.
1t is an extraordinary dog. The son
of a famous prize winner and with
long lineage of good blood, it has
demonstrated an almost human intel
ligence from the day it was puppy,
and since it has been part of the
Saults' household has won a place in
the Hearts of the father and mother
of the little Saults children that is
considerably deeper than that which
some children occupy in the affections
of their parents.
Ever since the Saults children have
been creeping tots, the collie has been
their self-appointed guardian and de-
fender, and an attempt by anyone to
injure or to interfere with either of the
children would have resulted in an at
tack on the offending person by the
collie.
The love of the dog for the children
seems human in it's strength to a re-
markable degree, and the little ones
hold for the collie similar strong af-
feetion.
Dogs ImpartiaIty Tested
On many occasions the love and its
impartial bestowal between child and
child often has been tested by inducing
the children to engage in friendly
encounter on lIle nOOT, III tOIuST u

riably the collie would begin blowing
its nose between the scuffiing children
much as a referee does with his hands
in separating two combatants in q
prize ring, until he had been able to
walk undisputed between them, after
which he would continue to stand be-
tween them in order the scuftie might
not be continued
On other occasions the dog-which
by the way, never has bitten anyone
or nything-whenever he scented dan.

as quick as a flash would place himself
between the menacing object and thu
children until all danger had ceased
The peril may have been entirely
imaginary on the part of the collie, bu
he did not weigh technicalities. The
danger might have been offered by 8
playmate whom the collie might no
have seen before; and, until the rela
lions of the strange playmate had beer
made known sufficiently we'll to satisfy
the collie, there was little done in thu
line of play.

AN OLD RESIDENT
PASSED AWAY SUNDAY.

Last night at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. Bamforth, at about half
past eight, John Hall died after an i'll
ness which lasted only about one day.
Up to Saturday he appeared to be in
his usual health, but yesterday was
taken i'll and early in the evening
passed away. Mr.. Hall leaves two
daughters, Mrs. Bamforth, of this city
and a Mrs. Gilnaugh of Spokane,
Washington, who will not, however,
be able to he present at the funeral.
An only son died several years ago.
Mr.. Pat Hall of Glendo, a brother, the
only other living relative, will arrive
tonight. The funeral will be held Wed.
resday morning, at 9 o'clock, from the
Catholic church and the family re-
quest that no flowers be sent. Mr..
Hall was 76 years old at the time OF
his death and had lived in this vicinity
for about thirty-two years.

Men Were Notified on Showing Up for
Work This Morning That There
Would Be a Recess Until Next

Curtaiiment of Expenses.

When the men made their appear
ance at the shops this morning they
were informed that the same would
be closed until next Monday, the or
der being made necessary by the short
age OF business on the road. What is
known as a Sunday shift has been kept
at work and all repairs will be kept
up, but any new or dead" work will
be dispensed with for the present.
Is Temporary CurtaiIment.
Officers at the shops do not take
this to mean any permanent curtail.
ment of work, but simply il line with
the policy of ret]renchment which the
headquarters at Omaha has been put
ting into effect all along the Union Pa,
cific system. Rather than lay any
men off, it has been thought best to
adopt shorter hours for a while, and by
the end of the week business may
have picked up to the extent of run,
ming again on the basis in effect last
week. The amount of repair work on
hand is considerable, so, even with
the absence of the men who were civ,
en- a vacation this morning, the shops
still appear a busy place.

ton of working time at the Union Pa,
Cifc shops in Omaha and along the
line west. He issued the order Friday
reducing the work week in the shops
to five days for the present, and i'm,
mediately rumors began to circulate
attaching political significance to his
action.
Mr.. Mohler added:
THE reduction in force is only made
TO meet the same percentage of re,

are with this large body of men and
realizing the suffering that ensues and
having been through this in previous
years, it is not a pleasant task to per-
