GOVERNOR GILLETT MAY END

Plan to Stlfle Inquiry Into Whittier ln-

Official Reporter

Friends of the administration at the
whittier state school are bending every
energy to induce Governor James Gil
lett to refuse to reappoint G. C.. Des-
mond as trustee of the school. His
term expires on Monday.
With Trustee Desmond out of the
board the machine politicians argue
that there is little danger of an in
quiry into the revolving conditions at
the institution being pushed.
In line with this policy it is alleged
that orders have been issued to the
official stenographer who took the tes-
timony at the secret hearing which has
been in progress for two weeks that
only one copy of the official report
shall be furnished, this to be delivered
to Superintendent ]. p. Greeley at the
school.
Nevertheless Trustee Desmond
friends say that he has not been sleep

ing evidence. He is prepared by legal
means to force an inquiry and when 1t
comes Mr.. Desmond has said to those
who are supporting him that 1t will be
more than a nine days sensation.
Five able attorneys it is said are
using every talent and expedient to
ward off an inquiry into the manage
ment of the school and the develop

clans sit up, 1t is predicted.

LINCOLN LEAGUE
ENDORSES ROADS
URGES UNANIMOUS VOTE FOR
BOND ISSUE
County Central Committee Suggests
That Plans for lndorsing Suitable
Candidates Be Carried
Out Soon

The county central committee of the
Lincoln Roosevelt Republican league
put itself on record yesterday as in
dorsing the proposed issue of $S,500,OOO
of good roads bonds.
The resolutions adopted state that
the league fully realizes the Importance
of good roads and urges all voters to
go to the polls and vote yes on July
81, so that the issue may be carried
unanimously.
Every member of the league is urged
to render every assistance possible Tor
the success of the movement.
The league committee also settled the
question of Endorsement
1t is recalled that soon after the or
ganization of the league in August,
1907. 1t was formally decided that as
soon as convenient after forming of
Lincoln Roosevelt clubs in an assembly
district and at least six months prior
to the holding of the next general cleo
ton, desirable candidates should be
selected and announced for the legis-
lature and should receive the indorse-
ment of clubs in their respective dis
tricts.
In order that acceptable candidates
may be selected, it is necessary that
| the leaguers shall go into conVentloni
| the committee says.
The plan of action suggested Is that
members of the county central com
mittee from the various districts DC
called together at headquarters, as the
county executive committee may de-
termine, to consider the qualifications
| of candidates. Members of the central
committee from a district shall by a
majority vote select and indorse can
didate for each of the assembly, sena-
| torial and supervisorial districts in
which an election Is to be held this
year. When this Endorsement has been
siven candidates shall receive the
unanimous Endorsement of the county
central committee and the clubs IN
such districts.

LAWLER DECLINES TO
DEBATE WITH STIMS0N
District Attorney Admits That Some
of the Guilty Parties Should Be
Prosecuted in Machine
Controversy

Oscar Lawler in replying to the
challenge of Marshall Stimson for fur-
Their public debate on the methods OF
the political machine says there IS no
occasion for further discussion, but
believes that "for at least some of them
the guilty parties should be prose-
cuted."
In his concluding paragraph Mr..
LAWYER says:
ITO arouse controversy not over
principle, but simply as to who should
control party organization is to me
little short of treason; and, entertain
ing such views, l cannot bring myselr
to believe that a discussion which
could lead to no other end would be
otherwise than Improbable"
Answering this Mr.. Stimson said yes
terday:
"I should like to remind Mr.. Lawler
that our first meeting was brought
about through the insistence on the
mart of the regular organization that
II should be allowed to have a repre-
sentative answer me before the Friday
Morning club.
at seems to me that Mr.. LAWYER is
mistaken in his view that this is not
a controversy over principle. The
principe of self government within the
Republican party is at stake. He ana
I know it has been absolutely In the
control of the Southern PACING rail-
road political bureau for many years

EXPERTS DISCUSS
SANITARY TOPICS
TWO HEALTH OFFICERS SERVE
ON COMMITTEE
Pure Food Commission Under New
Name Takes Up Cause of Public
Welfare for State Medical
Association

Medicos of Southern California last
night perfected organization under the
name of the state sanitary committee
a branch of the California State Medi-
cal association.
For some time the doctors have held
meetings under the name of the pure
food commission. When the smoke
abatement question came up the title OF
the body was regarded to be a bit in
congruous, though it was argued thai
as smoke vitiated the air 1t was q
proper subject for discussion.
Under the new and broader name
however, all sanitary subjects will be
discussed.
Members of the committee include
DR.. G. F. E. Madison of Pasadena
president; DR.. George Kress of Los
Angeles, secretary; DIR. Stanley p
Black, health officer of Pasadena, anC
DR.. L. M. Powers, health officer of Lot
Angeles.
1T is hard to get the people to seize
on sanitary measures unless wheI
some calamity or epidemic breaks out,
said DR.. Powers last night. 1T is like
funeral questions-people hate to touci
them. 1t reminds me Of the man who
said the last thing he wanted to az
was to go to heaven.
"Yet how much sanitary science ha:
done is shown in the mildness of small
pox nowadays compared with its fatal
tiles years ago.
Now 1t is unusual If one person II
500 dies. We have the virulency of the
disease so attenuated that If carefully
handled it is nothing to be dreaded
The main thing for the doctors to know
is what not to do; in other words wha
things avoid in treatment"
The sanitary committee has mucf
work laid out for this summer.

SOCIALIST WOMEN
VISIT COMRADES
CITY JAIL SCENE OF REMARK
ABLE DEMONSTRATION
CALLERS ADMITTED IN PARTIES
OF TEN
Mayor Harper, Also Interviewed by
Members, Who Protest Because
Prisoners Are Not Allowed
Daintles

Central police station, where ten So
cialists are imprisoned pending trial
on charges Of speaking on the streets
without permission from the board Oh
police commissioners, was the scene
of a remarkable demonstration yester-
day when more than fifty members OF
the Women's Socialist union went 10
the Jail to visit their comrades"
Carrying flowers, fruit, dainties and
blankets for the imprisoned men the
women called at the station and asked
permission to enter the jail. AT hrst
the officials hesitated, but when re-
minded that it was visiting day they
conferred with the jailer and nnally
decided to admit the women, ten at q
time. Ten minutes were allowed eacn
detachment Of the visitors and before
the last had entered the gloomy COM
mon cell big crowd had assembled.
Nothing but flowers were allowed
the prisoners, the police saying their
rules forbid permitting fruit to be
carried inside the jail. Later mem
bers of the Women's Socialist union
called at the mayors office to protest
epainst this order and the mayor
promised to bring up the subject at the
next meeting of the police commits
sioners.
The Socialists who have been ar
rested during the last two weeks de-
clare they have a constitutional right
that is superior to any city ordinance
to speak on the streets. They willing
ly submit to arrest, offer no resistance
and go to Jail without attempting to
obtain bail. They say they mean to
make a thorough test of the law and
expect to establish their contention
that the right of free speech is guar
anteed by the constitution of the
United States and cannot be taken
away at the pleasure of the police
commission.
Joseph Mumma, while speaking at
the corner of Eighth and Main streets,
was arrested last night by Patrolman
Hilf. He was locked UP at the police
station, as he made no effort to obtain
bail. which was fixed at $500.
