CITY ATTORNEY DECIDES
AGAINST BOILER INSPECTOR
Hayward Cannot Step Into Shoes Of
Retiring Chief Holloway Until
He Has Passed Good
Examination

The muddie over the appointment
of chief boiler inspector has not yet
been settled by the city council. Frank
e. Hayward was given the position,
but Councilman A. ]. Wallace chal-
lenged the appointment.
Just who the eligibles are and
whether the oldest in service of the
present inspectors should by virtue of
seniority remain chief, succeeding ]. B.
Holloway, resigned. will have to be
settled by the civil service commission.
Several men on the eligible list have
demanded that no one be appointed
without an examination, even If such
favored one has held the job for years
on the board. This would rule Hayward
out
The surprise came yesterday after
noon in the city council when City At
torney Leslie r. Hewitfs report was
filed stating that in accordance with in
structions the office had examined the
ordinance relating TO the office of
boiler inspector and finds that the or
dinance creates the office of boiler in
spector, first assistant boiler inspector
and second assistant boiler inspector.
The civil service commission holds diff
ferent examinations for boiler inspector
from those for first assistant boiler in
spector. Mr.. Hayward, the appointee In
question, passed the examination for
assistant boiler inspector and is now
serving in that capacity. He has never
taken the examination for boiler in
spector, is not on the eligible list for
that position and Is therefore not en-
titled to the same, the city lawyers
hold,

LOSANGELFS NOW HAS
5O.615 SCHOOL PUPILS
INCREASE SHOWN BY REPORT
OF MARSHAL
Many Families Have Moved to SUBJ
urban Towns, and This Is Given
as Reason for Small
Gain

According to the school census re-
port issued By School Census Emu
merator Farmer, and now in the pos
session of City Superintendent of
Schools DR.. E. C. Moore, the city of
Los Angeles has 50,615 school children
between the ages of and II years.
I'm 1907 the schol census showed a
total of 4S,782 pupils. That shows
gain of about 1000 pupils this year over
last" said DR.. Moore.
But, on the other hand, the census
for 1906 showed a total of school chill
dren of 44,143 which, when compared
with the record of 1907, gave for the
latter years credit an increase in
number of pupils of about 1000.
MANY people have moved into the
country this year. hence the city has
lost school Children in that way
Estimate is made from the school
census marshals reports that Los
Angeles has a population this year of
S02,604 people.
The report of the city schools of Los
Angeles shows that there are 253 Mon
golians, 90 Indians and 1852 negro chill
dren in the schools between the ages
of 5 and II years.
The totals as given are as follows:
First ward, $685.; second, 6735; third,

WOULD MAKE FRONT YARD
OF WESTLAKE PARK LAWN
Property Owners TELL Council Reasons
Why They Object to New Sani-
tarium In Their
Midst

About 125 property owners and in
fufiential residents in the Westlake
park district yesterday petitioned the
city council to create residential zone
in that district to head off the at
tempt of the managers Of the Well
born sanltarium to operate hospital
opposite the park.
The petitioners specifically ask that
the district bounded by Eighth street,
Ocean View avenue, Burlington and
Coronado streets be set aside as such
district.
The board of health recently gave
a permit to the sanitarium people,
though 1t has since taken steps to undo
the work If 1t legally can. Secretary
Love has been instructed to notify DR..
Wellborn not to operate the hospital
until the board has been further heard
from.
One of the objections to the sani-
tarium as cited is that the patients
will use the park as lounging place.
Board members pointed out that this
was one of the probable reasons why
the site was selected, as city property
could then be used as front yard
The councils legislative committee
and the city's law department will
take up the petition at once.

AQUEDUCT GRIEVANCES TO
BE PROBED BY HEADS
General Chaffee and Engineer Mulhol-
land Will Look Into Disquiet-
Ing Stories from Te-
hachapi

Complaints from a delegation of
workingmen that they were receiving
unfair treatment while employed on the
aqueduct will, by order of the board
of public works, be investigated by
Gen. Adna r. Chaffee and Chief En-
gineer William Mulholland in person.
Attorney H. H. Roser, John T. Parr,
T. M. Fields, o. G. Wenger, Ernest
Rapp and g. D. Kincaid told the board
yesterday that instead of Los Angeles
men most of those being hired on the
aqueduct are from Bakersfield. River
side, Cotton, Tehachapi and other
points.
Because Of lack Of teams many of the
carpenters are obliged to pack lumber
on their backs, the men said. Much OF
the lumber was unsuitable and had to
be dressed by hand.
Expert e. Duryea, in charge Of the
cement plant construction. says all the
men he sent up there were mechanics,
and as far as he knew citizens of Los
Angeles. A Mr. Fisher hired the labor
ers. Duryea explained that no more
were hired from Los Angeles because
there were no boarding accommoda-
lions, while men hired from Tehachapi
had their own homes.
Aqueduct bureau officials say they
discharged one gang because from the
table of statistics maintained for each
gang it appeared that some gangs were
putting up lumber for buildings at a..
cost of $13 per 1000 feet used, while
others ran as high as s21. These latter
were discharged on the ground of in
efficiency.

TWO BODIES OPPOSE
: RIVER BED LEASES
LINEUP OF MUNICIPAL AND
VOTERS LEAGUES
Railroads to Sea Not Needed as Much
az Different Conditions Among
Those Now Existing
Is Plea

When the river bed franchise ques-
ton is considered by the city council
next Tuesday In special session 1t will
have before 1t the opposing resolutions
of the Municipal league and the Voters
league
Both were filed yesterday, tire more
lengthy one, that of the Municipal
league, being as follows:
Being fully satisfied that the city
and It's citizens cannot get the benefits
from q railway over the river bed
which they should obtain, by any kind
or an arrangement that the city has
the power to make with any other
body, and that the best interests of its
citizens will be subserved not SO much
by having railroads to the sea but by
bringing about different conditions from
those now existing, and realizing that
the river bed offers the only opportun-
ity for the city to build railway that
will fully meet the demands of it's citi-
gems and correct present traffic evils,
we recommend that no right to build
or operate a railway along the river bed
be given, granted or leased In any way
to any one at any price.
Second, we further recommend that
steps be taken by the league at once
to cause such provisions to be adopted
in our proposed new charter as will give
tie city the power TO do all thlngS
necessary to build. equip, operate and
maintain, and to buy, sell or lease rail-
roads from the city to the sea, and to
lease, buy. sell, build, equip, operate
and maintain wharves upon the sea,
and to purchase all lands necessary to
carry out such powers, so that in the
future IL the railroads now or then ex-
listing do not of ...eir own accord fix
or maintain such rates or arrangements
for traffic from the city to the sea as
will meet the requirements of the peo-
pie, the city may undertake the build
ing of a railroad and wharves of its
own, should the people so desire"
The Voters league puts itself on rec
ord as follows:
1.-THE executive committee of the Vot-
ers' league respectfully petitions the
honorable city council not to grant any
franchise for any railway in or along
the bed Of the Los Angeles river"

MARSHAL RETURNS FROM
TRIP WITH PRISONER
Manuel Saraba Now Occupies Cell in
Tucson Jail, and Fears He Will
Be Kidnapped and Taken
to Mexico

According to United States Marshal
Leo Youngworth, who has returned
from Tucson, AriZ., where he took Man
uel Sarabia, the alleged Mexican revo-
lutionist, to be tried in Arizona on the
charge of raising an armed force in the
United States to fight against Mexico,
that prisoner will not be tried until
after the fate of his confreres, Villa
real, Magon and Rivera, is known.
Their case, appealed to the United
States supreme court, has not been
heard yet. They seek to avoid extra
dition to Arizona, since 1t Is believed
by Herman & Holston, their counsel,
that once in Arizona they might be
kidnapped and removed to Mexico,
where anything but justice would be
awarded them.
"Sarabia was a quiet prisoner" said
Ralph -Dominguez, bailiff of the federal
court, who accompanied Marshal
Youngworth.
HE said he believed he would be
shot after all, since he fears being re-
moved to Mexico. He has brother at
Mexico City who is charged with sim
liar offense. That brother is consid-
cred to be prisoner of high impor-
lance in Mexico"
II was certainly pleased with Tue
son." said Marshal Youngworth yes
terday. ut is a thriving city of 10000
people and has some beautiful resi-
dences as we'll as a prosperous business
center. I had never supposed there
was such a large city in the desert
country"

GAS MEN WAR
OVER new LAW
COUNCIL REFUSES TO TAKE
SIDES IN SQUABBLE
SHALL NOTICE BE GIVEN OF
METER REMoVAL2
Pending Full Discussion Of Proposed
Enactment, City Legislators Lay
Subject on Table for
Week

Most of the afternoon session Of the
city council yesterday was taken up
with the sharp debate between Attor-
ney Herbert Goudge, representing the
Los Angeles Gas and Electric COM
pany, and Attorney II. J. Stephens, rep
resenting the City Gas company, over
the proposed law to prevent rival COM
panies' employees severing meter con-
nections without twenty-four hours
notice.
In the absence of President Pease,
who Is acting mayor Councilman r.
w. Dromgold Of the First ward pre-
sided at yesterday's-the first e'sclu-
sively afternoon-session.
In the lobby were several stock
holders of the new and the old gas
companies, men well known in bank
ing, brokerage, legal and mercantile
circles.
Attorney Goudge said the proposed
ordinance preventing tampering by I'M
authorized persons with the gas me-
ters of connections of rival companies
was necessary for the public safety
The recent explosion on Second street
was evidence of the destructive power
OF gas when leaking. he said.
He said twenty-four hours notice
was not unfair, as 1t was mainly for
the consumers interest that such legis-
lation was proposed.
Council Walter Wren's plan is to
force the companies making changes
In meters to give notice to all occu-
pants of such houses as are affected,
reminding them that every gas jet
should be turned off at once while
changes are made below.
Attorney w. N. Goodwin spoke on
behalf of the new company. He said
q year ago the general cry all over the
city was for better gas service for
Los Angeles. Los Angeles got another
high class company and now efforts
to cripple 1t had already been started
If the pending ordinance were passed
1t would simply help to stifie COMPETE
ton In the gas field, he asserted.
He charged the old company with
using all kinds of schemes through its
solicitors, even forgery in trying to in
duce old consumers to revoke their or
ders to have city company meters in
stalled.
The ordinance was finally laid over
to give the councilmen more time to de-
eide whether the ordinance Is really
needed
