by the county committee.
Summed up, five of the six counties within the

The 1Os delegates allotted New York state by
the national committee, as its quota to the ma
tional convention to be held the first week i'll
june 1908, were, by direction of the national
committee, apportioned as nearly as possible upon
the basis of one for each 200 votes cast for
Swallow three years ago. The nearest approach
to this ratio possible and still give every county
representation was one delegate for each 203
votes or major fraction thereof cast for Swallow
The apportionment for state convention was
fixed at one for every twenty votes, or major
fraction thereof, cast for Mr.. Hart (head of
state ticket at last eection) with the idea of Civ
ing every Prohibitionist of every county equal
representation, based upon the present strength
as some counties have gained and others lost
votes since the Presidential election of three years
ago.

delegates for each county to both conventions:

MUST SUE TO GET
COUNCILS FUNDS
SCHOOL BOARDS CLAIM NOT
RECOGNIZED
Legal Advisers of Municipality Say
Written Opinion Furnishes No
Encouragement Except
Through Test Case

If the school board wants the 100000
it claims the city council should have
appropriated to educational purposes
out of the city's general fund it must
sue for it.
The councils finance committee yes
terday fatty declined to produce any
such sum.
The money in question represents the
budget estimates of the board which
the council reduced some months ago
as being unnecessary and If litigation
follows 1t will be in the nature of test
proceedings.
The city attorneys office has ruled
that the council is obliged to make the
tax levy heavy enough to allow the
school board the sum it asks for, but
nothing is said about retroactive ac-
tion.
The council has no such sum asked
for on hand, even If it were inclined
to grant the peremptory demand.
Messrs. Wilson and Works of the
city's legal department were called in.
Both stated that in their reading of
the recent opinion they saw no au-
thority for the school boards assum-
ing that the council is obliged to re-
turn the money at this late date.

Pretty, dashing Lucille Rishel of
Hollywood was crowned queen or the
fitting tournament last night at the
ball given as a finale to the second
annual floral parade at Hollywood.
Late in the afternoon, before the eyes
of Mayor Harper and the ofncers OF tne
torpedo fiotilla, the fair equestrienne
won highest honors at fitting, and with
graceful bows acknowledged the tu-
multuous applause from the 4OO0 on
lockers. The coronation was the spec
tacular finish to the festivities which
began with a floral show, followed by
the parade and then the tournament,
knightly contest conducted under the
auspices of the Hollywood club.
Wildly exciting was the run-off of the
dead heat between M. c. Mason OF

pected the court will decide whether
the order shall be made permanent.
The Los Angeles Gas and Electric
company in it's suit filed yesterday ask
ing for the injunction says 1t has 53,O0O
meters in use, together with pipes and
connections, and charges that the City
Gas company has, during the last two
months, tampered with, disconnected
and disarranged these for the purpose
of placing it's own meters in houses.
Notices, says the complaint were
served on the Los Angeles company to
disconnect it's meters after many OF
them had already been removed.
On March II the Los Angeles company
notified the City company that rea-
sonabe time must be had before dis
connections are made, and this letter
was followed a week later by another,
in which Secretary r. M. Adams told
the new company it must be aware tnat
for anyone to Interfere with meter
connections, unless authorized to do so,
is regarded as a trespass, and suggests
that penal provisions cover such inter-
ference.

Welcome Facts
A welcome fact in regard to our local
railroad difficulties Is the appointment
or commission of inquiry into rail-
road management, in which may we'll
be included the problem of their un-
necessary noises. Might 1t not be WELL
and certainly legitimate, to inquire
into the experiment to date of the Bos-
ton & Albany, the leading and model
rSilroad of New England?
The first departure from the ordi-
nary service was to add an electric
system, which dropped a gate instantly
(on the near APPROACH of train), which
covered the entire width of the track,
at each end of the street to be crossed
and this in the suburbs of Boston. In
the. short entrance into the city the
track is lowered under bridges, which
are at the level of the street.
The road has now carried this
through itr crowded western suburbs,
giving there the safety and comfort of
bridges over tracks. And the model
roads record is almost entirely free
from accident.

WILL ENLARGE SCOPE OF
SCHOOL FINANCE PROBE
Commercial Bodies Are Asked to ln-
quire Into Educational, Moral and
Spiritual Condition as Well
as Financial

All members of the committee OF nine
charged with inquiring into the finan-
cial expenditures of the school board
except DR.. Fl. Bert Ellis held a. pre-
liminary conference on their work and
reached the decision that a sub-com-
mittee of five with power to hire ac-
countants shall do the actual exami-
nation.
Representatives of three important
bodies furnish the personnel of the
committee namely, ]. w. Long, d.
A. Hamburger, H. Bert Ellis, w. j.
Washburn, Frank Simpson, Charles
Forman, w. c. Patterson, III. S. Nc
Kee and DIR. Norman Bridge.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the chamber of commerce, Merchants
and Manufacturers association and the
Municipal league should agree on a
smaller joint cor-mittee, selected from
the original nine, to look n only into
the finances of the Los Angeles school
board but the educational, morar and
spiritual condition of the schools.
Superintendent Moore hopes that the
final report will also tell of the mo-
tives leading to the present attack
on the school system.
