CLUB DIRECTORS
WOULD WEAR STARS
Prominent Men Petition Police Conn
mission to Give Them Authority
to Arrest Violators Of Speed
Ordinances

Through Charles s. Hooper, secre-
tary, the Automobile club of Southern
California yesterday petitioned the po-
lice commission to appoint the direct
ors of the organization special officers
to see that the speed laws are enforced.
Those who would wear stars are G.
Allen Hancock, Roy p. Hillman, A. F.
Rosenheim, c. H. Hamilton, George b.
Ellis, ]. j. Jenkins, l.. d. Sale, George
Peckham and Charles H. Hopper.
AS practically all the special police
stars are issued, action was deferred
one week, and in the meantime Chief
Kern and Charles McKeag, secretary
of the commission, will go over the list
of special officers and see if enough
stars can be secured to outfit the di-
rectors OF the automobile club.
In a letter to Mayor Harper Secre-
tary Hopper of the club comments on
the fact that there have not been SO
many arrests for violation of the speed
ordinance since the motorcycle police
were put in uniform, which was ac-
complished through the clubs efforts.
Far from believing that the uniforms
show speed inclined motorists that the
motorcycle police are watching them
and give them a chance to slow down,
Mr.. Hopper believes the uniforms act
ais q warning and actually prevent
much speeding that would otherwise
be done.

NEW NAME is PROPOSED
FOR HARB0R MOVEMENT

The Municipal Waterways associa-
ton is the new name proposed for the
Greater Los Angeles movement, and
this is believed to meet with much
better reception from the surrounding
cities than the name by which the
movement has been known for the last
two years.
The name is believed by the commit
tee on permanent Organization to be
more comprehensive and indicative of
the nature of the work the commission
is trying to accomplish.
With the change of name a new or
ganization must be perfected, and the
following notice was sent yesterday to
the 200 members Of the commission;
"The chairman and committee on
permanent organization Of the NUM-
| cipal Waterways association. for the
of Los Angeles and her
natural ports, with adjacent towns and
territory, hereby request your presence
on Thursday, July 2, 1908, o'clock p.
fl., at council chamber, city hall. Los
! angeles, to perfect a permanent or
ranization by the election of board
Ii directors.
"The above committee, assuming
t1ey will have your cooperation, have
enrolled your name as a charter mem
her of the organization"

COUNCIL REFUSES
TO RATIFY PLAN
DEMANDS RADICAL CHANGE IN
BOND AGREEMENT
RALKs AT a 1-2 PER CENT INTER-
EST FOR ENTIRE ISSUE
VIII Not Bind Posterity to Pay Addl-
tionai Two Millions Of Interest
on Owens River Sc.
curitles

Radical modification must be made
in the agreement Aqueduct Attorney
w. B. Mathews has brought back from
New York bankers for the sale of the
bonds before the council will consent
to it's ratification.
AT long session between the coun-
Gil, the board of public works and Mr..
Matthews yesterday morning this 1act
was made very plain when the eight
members of the council, now in the
city, declared they would never consent
to signing the agreement as 1t stands.
The session was executive, pur tne
councilmen willingly expressed very
emphatic opinions on the subject after
adjournment
The sale Of the present issue OF S2,-
$4,000 worth of the bonds at Az per
cent interest is contingent on the city
agreeing to give options on the rest
of the extra issue of the $23,OOO,0OO still
unsold at AZ per cent. This extra half
per cent which for the forty years the
bonds have to run will make total
increase of $4,000, 900. in the amount of
interest, is the proposition at which the
city council balks. 1t refuses to tie up
posterfty to the payment OF this extra
two millions.
Councilman Wallace chairman Of
the council finance committee, led the
opposition at the conference yesterday
against the agreement. He argued that
in a few years when the city is ready
TO market some more of the Owens
river securities money may be very
easy and be begging for investment at
a very low rate of interest. The city
would be unable to take advantage OF
this low rate Of interest because 1t is
already committed to the payment of
41z per cent to Kounze Brothers and
A. B. Leach & Co.
The board of public works was anx-
ious that the agreement be signed, as
money is needed at once to prosecute
the work on the aqueduct, but the
council stands like stone wall against
It and shows no disposition to do any
thing until the agreement Is mod1hed.
The coast representative of the two
banking firms is in Los Angeles, pre-
sumably with authority from his em-
ployers to sign any agreement which
the council and the banking firms may
Jointly ratify. He has authority TO
sign the agreement as 1t now stands.
The council will hold a session this
morning, and it is probable further
action will be taken In the matter.
Meanwhile kilograms are being sent
east by Mr.. Mathews and the board of
public works telling the attitude the
council has assumed.
The agreement Mr.. Mathews has
brought back from New York Is for
the Immediate sale OF $2.040,000 worth
OF the bonds at 41a per cent at pre-
MUM of one-eighth of / per cent, de-
livery to begin next month. The agree
ment provides for options on the re-
naming bonds of the issue at Az per
cent as follows: First option on $4,
S96, 900 at a premium of one-eighth OF
per cent, delivery to begin Febru-

TIGERS VICTIM
DIES IN AGONY
ANIMAL KEEPERS INJURIES
ARE FATAL
HERMAN cERsoN sUccUMRs AT
HOSPITAL
Attendant at EastIake Park Zoo
Passes Away as Result Of Wounds
Sustained In Combat with
Beast

Herman Gerson animal keeper at the
Eastlake park zoo, died at the county
hospital early yesterday morning as a
result of the frightful injuries he sus-
tanned when attacked by Bruno, the
young tiger at the park, June 18.
Several days after the keeper was
taken to the hospital the right arm
was amputated in an effort to save his
life, and for some time the surgeons
discussed amputating his left arm also.
Mrs. Gerson, the woman who drove
off the tiger when 1t attacked her nus
band, several relatives and hospital
attaches were at the bedside OF the
man when death came.
Gerson suffered the greatest agonies
up to the moment of dealn, but was
conscious until just few minutes be-
fore he died.
Gerson Is the second employe the
zoo to lose his life. Tho man whose
place he took died as the result of
rattlesnake bite three years ago. The
position is looked upon as an excep-
tionally dangerous one, and demands
that the one who fills 1t be constantly
on the alert.
June 1S Gerson was employed clean
ing the cages of the animals. He had
washed the one occupied by Nippon, a
sister of Bruno, and turned to the
cage in which the young tiger was.
AS ne OlQ SO 0TuDO WdlhCu W thC toh
side of the cage. Gerson stretched his
arm into the cage and turned the hose
on. AS he did so the young tiger
Jumped toward him, caught the man s
arm in his powerful teeth and crushed
the bones. While attempting to fight
him off Gerson's left arm was also
caught by the tiger, and both arms
were torn to shreds, the bones being
crushed.
Gersons cries attracted the attention
of his wife, who was at their house,
some distance away. The woman ran
to her husbands assistance, and with a
heavy fork drove the savage beast
away.
She then assisted her husband to the
house, and few hours later ne was
taken to the county hospital.
Several days ago it was announced
Gerson would probably live. but sun
day gangrene set in and he began to
sink.
The body is now at the offices of the
Dexter Samson Undertaking company.
Funeral arrangements have not as yet
been made.

BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL
PLANS BIG CELEBRATION
Literary Exercises, Music and Fire-
works Form Feature of Day.
Refreshments Will Be
Be Served

Many weeks ago, before anything
had been published regarding the OBJ
servance of the national holiday, the
entertainment committee of the Build
ing Trades council decided to celebrate
the Fourth in a fitting manner.
The scarcity of work and prevailing
dull times made it imperative that a
place should be selected and a celebra-
tion planned that would not call for a
great expenditure OF money, SO the
committee decided upon local park
as the best place.
Literary exercises on a large scale
will be carried out, with M. P. Snyder.
president Of the California Savings
bank and former mayor of Los Ange-
les, as chairman of the day. Stanley
b. Wilson will be the orator of the day,
Frances Martinez de Polite will sing
national songs. and E. A. Gerety will
read the Declaration of Independence.
All kinds of refreshments will be
available and there will be music ga
lore.

Indian who was reported drowned in
Lewis river last August. lt appears
THAT the report was first sent here by
an Indian who lives at Lewis River,
and it was stated at the time that he
had been drowned IN that river. A
search in that neighborhood, howev-
or, failed to find any clue. His moth
er, however, did not give up the
search. and few days ago Mr.. Mich
OILS got letter from Isaac Belknap,
sheriff OF Pacific county, who knew
of the accident, and said that an In
dian of that description was drowned
near llwaco August II, while crossing
from Chinook to South island to a
gishing trap. He dragged the river
and recovered the body, which was
buried in rough box.
Mr.. Nichols started for the place
Monday, and at Portland met g. H.
Markham, VINO knew Eiick, and took
him along TO help identify the body.
1t was examined and identified by a
scar on the chin. The body was
brought here for burial Tuesday, and
word was sent to the Indians around
