WILL HOLD COUNTY FAIR
IN AGRICULTURAL PARK
Counties of Southern California All
Pledge Their Hearty Cooperation
and Special Appeal to the
Public Is Issued

The Sixth Agricultural association
has made up its mind. acting on the
request of numerous residents, that q
Southern California fair should be
held in Agricultural park this coming
fall, and is preparing a program un-
der which Los Angeles, Santa Bar
bara, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernar-
dino, Orange, San Diego and Imperial
counties shall each have a day set
aside for their special benefit.
One member from the acting COM
mittee in each of the foregoing coun-
ties is to be selected to act as a MEM
Der Of the executive board that is to
meet with the members of the Sixth
district and manage the fair.
DIR. ]. A. Edmonds of Los Angeles
has been specially charged with the
duty of working up interest in the fair
and he has personally visited the out
side counties with this express object,
He reports them as being, without ex-
ception. all anxious to do their part
toward making the affair a success.
A special appeal is being made to
the public to contribute sufficient funds
to make the undertaking pronounced
success, and in this connection it Is
pointed out that the Phoenix fair, in
Arizona, last year brought in an in
creased business amounting to a quar-
ter of a million dollars, and that it is
only reasonable to suppose that in the
case of Los Angeles this sum would
be greatly exceeded.
A recent decision by Judge York
has gone a long way toward clearing
the title of the association to the park
and removing the opposition that IN the
past has made the holding of goo6
county fair almost impossible.

Accident at Ice Plant Results in in-

While working at the bottom of O

aged 80, was instantly killed, and Al
bert Smith, aged AZ, was seriously in
jured when a heavy iron bucket used
to bring dirt to the surface slipped
from the hosting apparatus and fell
on the men at the plant OF the Los

Fourth and Central avenue, yesterday
morning, shortly before IL o'clock.
The heavy iron bucket struck Sauser-
man squarely on the head, crushing his
skull and killing him instantly. Smith,
who was working by the side of Saus-
erman, was struck a glancing blow and
his injuries were but slight con-
cussion of the brain.
The men were employed by s. +.

The work was under the direction OF

Catey. Bunce was in charge of the
hosting machinery when the accident
occurred. He declined to make a state
ment.
Catey was absent at Sierra Madre
at the time of the accident.
AS soon as the men were brought tC

emergency hospital, where Smiths in

CANINE SLAYER TAKES PLACE

HOMELESS OURS NOW KILLED

Vacher Refuses to Send Out Wagons.
Admits Present System Is All
Wrong-Wants Civil
Service Plan

During the last two weeks the dog
poisoner has been doing a big business,
and the city incinerator reports an
increase of about one-third in the num-
Der of dead dogs received for inciner-
alton over the number Of two weeks
ago.
A large part of the increase in the
number of dead dogs is ascribed to the
fact that for two weeks the city dog
catcher has suspended operations, and
no dogs are caught except those gath
cred up by private persons and taken
to the pound. No effort is made to
pick up the homeless ours on the city
streets.
Vacher stopped sending his wagons
out to gather up the dogs two weeks
ago today, when the last fight between
deputy dog catchers and private citi-
zens occurred on the street.
He declares he can do nothing dur
ing the present agitation, that the city
is wrought up against him and his
methods, and that his deputies are
the center Of disturbances wherever
they go, even when within their
rights"
Dogs Safe for Awhile
Until new method is adopted it is
improbable any more dogs will be
caught.
Vacher himself says the present sys-
tenn of payment of fees is all wrong;
that deputies are after the rs cents a
head which they get for catching dogs,
and that it is impossible to get re-
sponsible men to take a place because
of the stigma attaching to a dog
catcher.
AS a consequence he is compelled to
hire men of the kind that glory in
being the center of a disturbance when
the odds against them are not too
great. He admits his men have done
many things they should not do, but
declares he is powerless to stop them.
His own ideas of the proper system
is to put the dog catcher under the
civil service with salary, the city to
receive the fees.
He says under such system there
would be no inducement for dog catch
ers to take dogs properly licensed, or
cause any disturbance when getting
dogs that are not licensed, as it would
be the duty of such an inspector to
have the owner Of the dog arrested and
fined for failing to procure a dog
license.

AT THE HOTELS

Judge Dewitt C. Weber, general
advance manager for the Sells-Floto
shows, is registered at the Lanker-
shin. Judge Weber is in Los Angeles
to look after some important contracts
for the Sells-Floto circus and to make
arrangements for its wintering at
Venice The circus is becoming known
as the "big western show" because it
is owned by F. G. Bonf1ls and H. H.
Tammen, Denver capitalists. 1t is win
tered at Los Angeles and covers more
western territory than any other show.
The new features introduced in the
circus this year, especially Rhoda
Royals equestrians, have been maxi
ing good beyond Manager Tammen's
expectations. Next year he plans some
large innovations making for an ex-
hibition on the scale Of the New York
hippodrome, so far as a road organiza-
tion can realize this, and these will be
first put under canvas at Los Angeles
and in nearby territory.
The Sells-F'loto circus has the repu-
tation of being the most extensively
equipped show on the road. Its per-
formers are all carried in Pullmans and
a $4,000 advance press car Is main
tanned. The Sells-F1oto people were the
first to adopt revolutionary lighting,
seating and big top" outfits, which
of the public. More advanced methods,
some of them quite expensive, are prac-
tically arranged to be ready for the
1909 season, for the larger circuses all
plan much work a long way ahead of
the time the public enjoys the results.
Judge Weber thinks the people of
Los Angeles should feel proud of the
success and growth of the Sells-Floto
shows, for he says those people whose
engagements DO not take them into
winter vaudeville look forward to the
winter rest in Los Angeles, which is in
reality the home town" Of the circus.

OFFICE VAINLY
SEEKS THE MAN
NO ONE WANTS JOB OF POLICE
COMMISSIONER
MAYOR CAN'T FIND SUBSTITUTE
FOR FULLER
Another Scandal May Be Pending In
Connection with Redlght District.
Committee of Fifty Half
Organized

Mayor Harper has been driven near
ly to distraction by the refusal OF
three prominent men to accept the
place on the police commission left
vacant by the resignation of Police
Commissioner Charles H Fuller.
He has offered the place to three
business men, all prominently identi-
fed with the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association, but each has de-
clined the honor. He still has one
more man in mind, and today will ask
him to accept the position. If he re-
fuses he will be open for suggestions
One suggestion was made to him yes
terday when a resolution adopted by
the Standard Republican club urged
that l. Margoles be given the place;
Margoles, however, is a Democrat and
the place must be held by Republic
can, according to the charter.
The committee of fifty to determine
the confines of the 'tred light" district
is about half completed-that is, the
mayor has asked and received the ac-
ceptance of about twenty-five persons
who have agreed to serve on the COM
mission.
He has selected the names of the
others he wants, but has had no OPP
portunity to ask them If they are will
ing to serve. He expects to make an
announcement in the matter some time
today.
This commission will report its find
ings to the police commission and the
board will accept its suggestions as
final.
Meanwhile the ak of investigation
may be sharpened for another MEM
Der OF the present police commission.
This member is alleged to be connect
ed in a business way with a notorious
resort, and it is probable this connec-
ton may cause another scandal in the
official family of the mayor.

SAN PEDRO MURDER MYSTERY
UNS0LVED
Body Weighted Down with Rocks Does
Not Fit Description of Avalon
Boatman-Inquest to
Be Held Today

Special to The Herald
SAN PEDRO, Aug. 13.-The body of
a man, at first believed to be that of
Tony the Greek, who disappeared mys-
teriously several months ago while. re-
turning from San Clemente to Cata-
lima islands with his launch, the Zeus,
on board of which were Mr.. and Mrs.
E. E. Easton and maid, the former
well known war correspondent, was
found floating about three miles off
Long Beach near Dead Mans island
by AL Hyder and party at 1870 p. m.
today.
Hyder and several men were return
ing from Naples in the latter's boat
Genevieve and had passed the body
yesterday while towing log raft to
Naples.
today they investigated, with the re-
suit that the body was discovered
floating near the same position as on
the day previous
On the chest of the corpse, tied in
a gunny sack, were a number of heavy
rocks, evidently placed there to weight
the body down. The hat, a broad
SLOUGH was pulled dowr over the face
and tied on the head.
The body was clothed in blue over
alls, heavy rough shoes and black sat
cen shirt. The condition of the body
is such that a detailed examination
could not be made. The body evident
~ had been in the water at least three
months.
The general description at first
seemed to tally with that of the miss
ing Greek. 1t is stated that the hair,
however. is light brown, while Tony's
was dark. The man evidently would
have weighed about 1870 pounds. The
body was badly swollen, however, and
so it's normal size or weight could not
well be determined.
The features of the dead man were
not recognizable. An inquest win be
held tomorrow.

NEW EXHIBITS ON DISPLAY
AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Several notable additions in the form
of Southern California fruit products
have been made to the chamber of
commerce exhibit recently, some of
which are now being prepared for the
Seattle exposition.
The chamber of commerce force is
busy getting out material for the state
fair at Sacramento and the Irrigation
Congress exposition at Albuquerque,
and at the same time collecting and
preserving fruits in liquid for Seattle.
One of the great difficulties expert
enced is the securing of desirable speci-
mems. While the fruit seems to be
abundant, the character and quality
are not such as to warrant processing.
If there is any fruit grower or ranch
er within reach of the city who has
specimens that are considered worthy
of placing on exhibition, the chamber
will willingly send for them and give
due credit to the grower.
