PROTESTS AGAINST CLAYTON
FILED TOO LATE TO ACT
Council Has Given Place to Griesmer
Hence Civil Service Commits
sion Makes No More
Changes

Protests filed in connection with the
proposed appointment of J. j. Clayton
as chief boiler inspector for Los An
geles were ordered filed yesterday by
the civil service commission.
The difficulty over this position has
already been settled by the city council
giving the place to Fred Griesmer.
Some years ago, according to the in
vestigation made by Commissioner
Dan Laubersheimer. Clayton got into
ain alteration with a woman, for which
he was fined. Laubersheimer talked
with Prosecutor Ford over the matter
and the latter said that Clayton had
been a victim of circumstances.
Commissioner Ona Morton said he
was with the under dog In a case OF
this kind. He thought there We're too
many people throwing bricks at men
when they are making a fight to for

Milton X. Young, who presided at the
meeting, said Clayton should have
known better than to pack a gun
around" but he, too, thought the Pc
tition had better be filed.
So Clayton keeps his place on the

MAY RESTORE ALL
EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
Situation Over Aqueduct Labor Is
Such That Return to Old Com
ditions Is Contemplated
by Commission

In the absence of Chairman David
Edelman and Commissioner John r.
Haynes the civil service commission
yesterday took no action on the aque-
duct situation growing out of the COM
plant of dissatisfied employees.
Acting Chairman Milton K. Young,
who was absent at the last meeting,
due to the Fresno meeting, as was
Commissioner Norton, remarked that
the unshot of the situation would be
that all employees exempted for aque-
duct work would probably be put back
ON the eligible list.
This is in line with Commissioner
Young's well known policy of opposing
exemptions except on definitely proved
and absolutely necessary grounds.
Certain discharged employees say Los

The fourth of July committe for 1908
was announced yesterday by Mayor A.

PARK POLICEMEN
AGAIN ACCUSED
OFFICERS CONDUCT TERMED
OUTRAGEOUS
CITIZENS COMPLAIN THEY ARE
TREATED BRUTALLY
Alleged offenses of cottle and Garri-
son Probably Will Be Laid
Before Chief
Kern

When Chief of Police Edward Kern
returns from his trip one Of the first
cases that will need his attention is
another complaint about the attitude
and conduct of policemen at Central
park toward the frequenters there.
Mayor A. c. Harper told the police
board yesterday, when another COM
plant was filed, that he believed Cottle
was trying to do his duty, but that the
case had better be laid before Chief
Kern when he returns.
The controversy is an old one, grow
ing out of the contention of one ele-
ment that the right of free speech in
public parks cannot be denied, and of
the other that free speech in the parks
serves to attract an undesirable ele-
ment, thereby depriving women and
others from the free use of the parks.
The petition which came up yesterday
was in substance as follows:
That the petitioners are citizens Of
the United States, residents of Los An
geles and are affiliated with the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties but are
entirely non-partisan in the matter.
That they frequently pass through
Central park or stop therein, and that
the facts recited herein have come I'M
der their own observation and are of
universal notoriety.
hat Iile CuiiuuCl VI lily EdlAoli1dh
Cottle and Park Patrolman Garrison Is
coarse, vulgar and offensive; that they
domineer over and insult good and
reputable citizens who are innocently in
said park
That they, acting together, have made
many arrests, and in almost every case
such men have been dismissed with
out trial whatever, the apparent pur-
pose being to annoy and cause expense.
That by their profane and insulting
conduct they have brought disgrace
upon the city and made it the subject
of criticism by visitors.
Some of the signers to the petition
are: George Taylor, 1142 West Twenty

chorus.
The chorus is stronger on looks than
on music, which Is a way burlesque
choruses have. It's a good, reliable,
hard working chorus, however. and it
does it's best. The costumes are pic
turesque. Those worn at the finale of
the second act are almost as frank as
anything seen on the Mason stage this
season.
AS a whole the travesty is good,
though, like the play it burlesques. its
earlier scenes are far superior to those
that come later.

Of, the police commission yesterday.
Both offenders lost their licenses.
Acting Chief Paul Flarnmer reported
that one George A. Church holds per-
NIT for billiard hall license at 213 East
Fifth street.
Il have reports from officers" said
Captain Flammer, from which it ap-
pears that number of men have
pleaded guilty to charges of gambling
in this place; Church himself pleaded
not guilty. The persons charged with
doing the actual gambling state, how
ever, that they not only played at the
time for which they were prosecuted,
but on other recent occasions.
"Church already has suspended Ii
cense for allowing minors to frequent
the place.
THE officers report that citizens liv-
ing in the neighborhood comment on
the open manner in which gambling is
permitted in this place.
81 therefore recommend that the per-
NIT be revoked"
This was promptly done.
In an East Ninth street case the fol-
lowing action resulted:
On July 10, 1906, permit for billiard
hall license at 107-109 East Ninth street
was granted to John Reeves.

An egg, one of the oldest ever seen
in Los Angeles, was laid a few days
ago by pet chicken owned by Mrs.
s. Levi of 142 West Fourteenth street.
The egg has a hard shell, is a tribe
larger and heavier than an ordinary
one and from one end a long shell,
closely resembling tail, sticks out.
The egg Is a decided curiosity and 1t
is probable it will be placed on ex-
hibition. The chicken has laid several
odd eggs in the past. They are still

TANK SCRAP BAN
Faculty at Purdue University
AboIiShes Ancient Custom
At the Institution.
UNDESIRABLE FEATURES.

Lafayette, ind, Feb. 1.-Official an
nouncement was made from the office
Of the president of Purdue university,
this morning that the famous tank
scrap" the annual freshman-sOpho-
more struggle, had been abolished by
the faculty.
The faculty action is the result of an
investigation following the last tank
scrap" at which there were several
thousand spectators.
The presence of such a large crowd
brought with it many undesirable fea-
lures. Scores Of street fakirs. sand
wich, hot coffee and popcorn vendors
lined the roads leading to the scene of
the scrap. and score of drunken per
sons mingled with the crowd. There
were several fights among this ele-
ment and it was this feature particu-
larly that led to the investigation. The
faculty has put the custom under a
ban. and will not tolerate another
scrap. The students probably will
make no effort to disregard the order
for the faculty will enforce the rule to
the letter.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. / The
United Mine WOrkers-the coal min
ers OF the cOuntry-brOke away from
Indianapolis today. 1t was voted to
hold the 1909 national convention in
St. Louis. This was due to large rep
resentatiOn from the Southwest and
from the Illinois coal fields. near St
Louis, and also 10 a general grievance
among the delegates that seemingly
indianapolis did not appreciate their
convention sufficiently. They drew
this inference from the fact that they
We're not welcomed to the city by the
Indianapolis Labor Union, the mayor
of the city, the Commercial Club or
the Governor of the State.
However. the indications are that
special national convention will be
held in indianapolis this spring. The
deadlock between the coal operators
and the miners Of Indiana, western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
which ended in failure to issue a
call for a joint wage conference, pro-
vided for the same joint committee to
meet in Indianapolis again February
81 TO take further steps to re-estab-
lish the joint relations that long eX-
listed and to issue a call for d wage
conference.
To Met Operators February II.
After long discussion the miners
convention ratified this arrangement
and also adopted q resolution prOviG-
ing that when the national cOnveu.
ton adjourns, which probably will be
Monday or as soon as the national
election, that it be adjourned to meet
on the call of the national officers and
the committee that will meet the Op-
orators here February q. This call
it was specifically understood, was t.
be for a national convention and moi
for just a meeting of the delegates
from western Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois.
1t will be issued to formulate the
demands to be made on the Operat-
ors if the operators decide to ente
into a joint wage conference.
If the operators decide to enter into
a joint all for a wage conference
when they meet here, February q
the special national convention OF
miners will be held in the city desig
mated at that time for tn joint con
ference. This 1ill likely be Indianap-
oils, though Chicago is spoken of.
