CITY MUST HANDLE
CARCASES OF ANIMALS S

Another attempt was made yester-
day to induce the city council to per-
nit the Hanson company from contin-
uing the work of handling the city s
dead animals at its fertilizer plant,
since a police court jury had decided
that it was not a public nuisance. 1t
was explained that the city's contract
would expire in July and something
must be done. Despite the contract
the city authorities say the plant is a
nuisance.
Attorney l. Detweiler said he was
informed that neither the board of
public works nor the health depart
ment was in a position to handle dead
horses if the Hanson company declined
to do so further; and that being the
case he thought the council should per-
NIT the handling of horses at the Han
son plant without any restrictions.
Councilman Yonkin said the contract
provided for Hanson to take the car
cases outside of the city limits and II
he could find no neighborhood in the
county to permit the factory he failed
to see where the city would lose any
money. He thought Hanson's bond
should cover the losses.
Inspector of Public Work d. K. Ed
wards has stated that the city's in
cinerator is not equipped to handle
horses.
If the threats are carried out Han
sons firm will handle no more dead
horses after today.

FINDS SIX PUBLIC SCHOOLS
IN DANGEROUS CONDITION
Building Inspector Recommends Alter
ations In Menacing Con-
struction

Six more out Of twenty-three school
buildings examined by Building In
spector j. j. Baclkus have been found
lacking in necessary precautions TO
avoid fire dangers, according to the
third report submitted to the city
council yesterday.
Furnace pipes at the Alpine school
are directly under the woodwork. The
basement door should swing outward
and an extra kindergarten door is
needed. Stoves should he moved.
Stoves in the Sixteenth street school
are too near the woodwork. Transom
woodwork is in contact with a stove-
pipe.
Doors opening inward make the
basement of the Main street school
unsafe on rainy days when the room
is used for play.
Thirty-ninth street school has mar
row halls and partitions. These should
be demolished. More doors should be
installed in the north side. A closet
under the stairs is used for fuel. Doors
of rooms l, 2 and 10 swing inward.
Six rooms in the old section of the
Washington street school swing in
ward. These should be Immediately
changed.
stairway is urged for the south
wing of the Vermont avenue school.
Wi;ler exits are needed from the main
floor on the west side.

Wornen's Clubs
French LIays at EbeII

That members OF the Ebell are pos
sessed of decided dramatic talent is
demonstrated at intervals throughout
the season when some delightful play
is presented. 1t means much to give
a program with dramatic ability, but
more to give the program in French,
and that was accomplished by certain
members of the club yesterday after
noon.
The plays were La Vieille Cousine"
and ia Duchesse Conpuriere," and the
following cast delighted an enthusiasts

Spanish. Reunion

Mrs. J. L. Corella-Phipps and Miss
Lolita M. Corella were hostesses Sat
urday at a Spanish reunion at their
home on Figueroa street. An elabor-
ate program was presented, all of the
selections, with few exceptions, being
in Spanish.
A Spanish play "El Si de las Minas''
was given by the following cast: Mr.
and Mrs. John Semore, Mrs. A. Petsche,
Miss Friedricks of Santa Monica and
Miss Jessie Dunning of Los Angeles.
Miss Helen Thayer and Miss Jessie
Dunning were charming in a scene
from La Familia Obstinado.
Miss Corella and Senior Escobar de-
lighted the guests with a character
song. "El Duo de los Paraguas," and
dance, "Seguidillas." Miss Mary
Mullins rendered violin obligato, with
piano accompaniment by Miss Geral-
dine Thomson, and Mrs Rodriguez
sang with much expression, "Si Tu me
AmaraS."
An attractive part of gthe program
were the recitations and dances con-
tributed by a number of bright chill
dren. A tambourine dance was given
by David Shattuck, Lillian Shattuck.
Lena Williams, Delphine Gillespie.
Santa Monica was ably represented
in Spanish dialogue by four little ones.

BUREAU OF MINING
MEETS APPROVAL
House Committee Unanimously but
UnofficiaIy concurs In PROPOSE
tion-To Draft Bill and Re-
port FavorabIy
BY Associated Press.

AbSUCIdItu Tpsss
WASHINGTON, March 30.-The
proposed establishment in the depart
ment of the interior of a bureau of
mines and mining was unanimously
but unofficially concurred in today by
the house committee on mining and it
is understood that within a week or
two the subcommittee to which has
been referred several bills to establish
such a bureau will draft bill to ac-
complish that purpose and report 1T
favorably.
The full committee was addressed on
the subject today by former Senator
w. M. Stewart of Nevada, who favored
the creation of such a bureau in the
interior department rather than in the
department of commerce and labor,
because of the natural and necessary
connection it would have with the
geological survey.

THREE FIRE COMPANIES
MAY BE LAID OFF

Fire Chief Walter Lips has decided
to lay off fire companies in the wards
of Councilmen Wallace Dromgold and
Yonkin. The first two are members
of the finance committee which refuses
to find a way to appropriate the money
the department Graves, but Chief Lips
says he did not select these two wards
because they represented finance COM
mitteemen's bailiwicks.
The companies at Pasadena avenue
and Avenue 19, at Adams and Hobart
and Fifty-second and Central avenue
are the first slated to be laid off if
the council declines to appropriate
more money.
About twenty-five men are affected,
and as no more funds will be set apart
till the new fiscal year in July it rep
resents a lack of protection for many
Los Angeles residents.
Councilmen Healy, Lyon and Clam
pitt have not given up hope of finding
a way to prevent the reduction of
forces.

THE CAST
BY sIpLE LAWRENCE

CN OMEBODY who knows his business
has been Burbanking around 1.-THE
~ Ham Tree" The result is a sea-
sonal yield very much superior in quail
ity to that of last year. Just how the
betterment was accomplished 1t Is
rather difficult to say, but the comedy
goes better this year. the lines have
been freshened up; the chorus is more
numerous and more agile and the en-
semble dancing is better done thah
anything of the kind we have seen In
Los Angeles this season.
AS matter of course Mcintyre and
Heath remain the chief attraction OF
the show. Also of course they have
retained their old-time Georgia min
strel stunt written for the purpose OF
proving that there is nothing funnier
in life than q man on the verge OF
starvation. The proof is there, too
If you can think of anything funniel
and can write it down doubtless the
firm will gladly pay you royalties or
your labor.
The company in support of the stars
is adequate to all demands made upon
it without being individually brilliant
One change, however. should be made
Somebody ought to write good song
and give 1t to Belle Gold to sing. Per
haps she couldn't sing 1t but she coul6
and would make 1t go, which is the
essential in musical comedy. At pres
ent she is wasting her time and hel
ability in a role that offers her no op-
portunities.
Jeanne fowler a statuesque young
woman, plays Mrs. Nickelbacker this
year with all the hauteur the role de.
mands. Phil w. Smith is the manager
of the Georgia minstrels, Frank O'BrieT
is a comedy tramp, and Arthur Barry
is the usual English lordling
The musical numbers are all vel
staged and we'll costumed. The bes
of them are "Desdemona," sung by
Miss Belle Gold and chorus; "Sailor'
Have Sweethearts in Every Port and
Drummers in Every Town." by Phi
Smith and chorus; Goodbye Manhat
tan Isle" in which Mr.. Smith intro
duces several local verses, and '"Tht
Automobile Honeymoon" Then, too
there is the Barbecue" song, sung by
the chorus without assistance from
any principal. Also there are three
good ensemble dances.

Mason through the week.
"Mrs. Warren's Profession" has been
substituted for Candida" at the Los
Angeles theater and will continue
through the week except for the Satur-
day matinee when "Ghosts" will be
given. The change in program was
made necessary by the many demands
for Mrs. Warren from theater-goers
who were unable to see Miss Mary

last week.

COMPANIES MUST FURNISH
HIGHER POLES, SAYS FORESTER

City Forester E. J. Harper has told
the pole using companies they must
either insulate their wires or furnish
poles hereafter over forty feet high.
Unless they do so he will grant no
further permits for trimming trees.
Because of the pole lines it is neces-
sary to trim thousands of trees an
nually. The limbs must be pared to
keep them from coming in contact with
the wires.
Wire using officials say that as the
council did not raise the rates on
public utility service they are handi-
capped by the forester's order, as high
poles are expensive.

MAYOR HARPER SIGNS
NEW LICENSING ORDINANCE

Mayor A. C. Harper last night signed
the ordinance providing for new sys-
tenn of licensing street cars.
This will net the city from $4,000 to
$4,000 more annually in revenue, will
do away with the necessity of tacking
license plates in cars and in return the
companies must furnish regular re-
ports of all their car operations.
The rate for each city car will be
$25 a year. Cars that are operated
inside and outside of the city limits
will be assessed half rate.
This is in the nature of compro-
mise, City Auditor w. c. Mushet con-
senting.
Mr.. Mushet figures that companies
paying $25 a year will pay rs per cent
more to the municipality and COM
panies paying $12.50 will pay 80 per
cent more licenses.
Whenever a car is run out of the
barn and operated, even if only for a
half hour it will .be charged up with
