COMMISSION PRODS
AQUEDUCT BOARD
SAYS CIVIL SERVICE RULES
ARE IGNORED
Complaints About Hiring Non-Resi-
dent Laborers on Owens Ditch
and Other Alleged Griev-
ances Aired

Because of uncertainty as TO what
constitutes the duties of a cement
tester in the aqueduct department the
civil service commission may take up
an entirely different policy regarding
examinations for that important work.
At DIR. John r. Haynes instance
hereafter all requests for holding ex-
amInations for positions must specify
distinctly what the duties of the pro-
posed job will be SO that misnaming
may not be used as a cloak for con-
Quoting affairs regardless of civil serv-
ice rules.
Recently the board detailed man
as a cement tester, but 1t appears that
he is really doing the work of an ex-
pert cement engineer. His work Will
last only q month or two longer, hence
no issue may be made of this case,
though some of the commissioners say
they are disposed to hold up all future
examinations of cement testers until
the discrepancies alleged are cleared
away.
Commissioner Milton K. Young IA
vors detailing a man by the commits
sion who shall do nothing but keep
track of the strict application of civil
service principles to all branches or
the aqueduct work.
1--WE are hearing so many charges
about unfair employment of alien and
nonresident men as against those or
Los Angeles who need jobs that some
thing should be DONE" said Commits
sioner Young.

HARPER HOME AGAIN.;
SUGAR OR POLITICS?
MAYOR RETURNS FROM NORTH;
CROWD AWAITS HIM
Says He Saw Both McNab and Anti
McNab Forces In San Francisco.
Thinks Fight viii Not
Be Fierce

Mayor A. C. Harper returned yes
terday from his trip to San Francisco
and found all classes of politicians and
citizens generally waiting to see him
at the city hall. His residence tele-
phones also were ringing when he
reached his domicie after alighting
from the train.
The mayor says he went north pri-
marily on a business mission with Ma
than Cole, jr, in connection with his
sugar interests at Visalia, and saw
certain representatives about this mis-
sion at his hotel
when --r Cole and 1 concluded
our talk concerning the sugar bust
ness, which has fine outlook this
season, we arranged to see about the
N'cNab and the anti-McNab fellows
to get at the real facts in the political
situation.
What we said and did possibly does
not interest the public deeply, but the
result is interesting.
Both sides will do all they can to
grant what Southern California wants.
They said so themselves.
Personally / do not think there
will be any great fight south of the
Tehachapi unless the boys themselves
make it in the delegation.
II prefer to let Mr.. Cole do the
rest of the talking, as he saw more
of the leaders than I. He will be here
Wednesday, 1 think.
II did not care to go to the Fresno
convention and went into the fight
only to protect my administration.
When I saw them going after my
friend Cole 1 started in myself. That
Is the only reason"

MANY LEAVE FOR
CONVENTION CITY
LOS ANGELES SENDS STRONG
DELEGATION
PLAN TO ouTWIT THE RAILWAY
PUSH.
First Clash Expected When Southern
Pacific Henehmen Try to Select
Their Own Temporary
Chairman

Last nights trains northward car
ried many delegates to the California
Republican state convention from and
near Los Angeles. Some will go today
Councilman A. ]. Wallace went as
chairman of the Lincoln Roosevelt Re-
publican league delegation, six dele
gates from Orange county also accom-
panying the crowd. There were about
forty in the parties.
Los Angeles will be able to make
strong showing, as practically all the
delegates from this county will attend
the convention.
Yesterday the state executive COM
mittee of the league met in San Fran
cisco. Meyer Lissner and Marshall
Stimson left here Saturday to be pres
ent at this meeting. The committee
outlined it's program of action after
all leaders had conferred.
The first clash Is expected at the
outset of the convention when the
Southern Pacific crowd tries to select
its own temporary chairman.
If the league gets the support of
country delegates, as is expected, it
may head off this program.
A hard effort will be made to defeat
the scheme of allowing the convention
to be run by the hide-bound rules
made by preceding convention.

The Theaters

III HE Mary Shaw company, which
recently played two engagements
- in the Los Angeles theater, dis
banded in Oakland after the perfor-
nance Sunday night, the projected tour
of the northwest having been aban-
doned for business reasons. The clos
ing came, however, only after Mace
Greenleaf of this city had sued out an
attachment against the company's
property to secure a claim for salary.
Mr.. Greenleaf played with the company
one week In Los Angeles and, 1t Is said,
did not get his money.
William Y. Conner, who was in
charge of the company, representing
Ernest Shutter, manager, announced
that all claims would be paid by Mr.
Shutter. Then, in response to telegram
from Mr. Shutter, who did not go north
with the company, but who has re-
manned here since Miss Shaw's engage
ment at the local house closed, he came
here to wind up the business before
going east. Miss Marie Pettes likewise
came to Los Angeles and Miss Shaw is
expected to reach here in a day or so on
her way east.
The San Francisco papers published
sensational stories of the closing, but
those members of the company now in
the city declare .4ey have no grievance
against the manager. They say Mr.
Shutter paid salaries up to the last week
and that they continued with full I'M
Outstanding of the situation.
Edgar Temple sang the role of Eu-
gene in "Erminie" at the Auditorium
last night. Ernest MacGahan, who had
the part Monday night, having resigned
it yesterday afternoon, severing his
connection with the company. The
opera went much better last night than
on the opening. Mr. Temple, unable to
learn the music of the role on, such
short notice, nevertheless appeared to
decided advantage in the ensemble
numbers and interpolated solo, For
All Eternity" which was encored en-
Enthusiastically.
AL G. Flournoy, formerly manager Of
the Peoples theater, and who is to be
stage director of the Theater Royal, ar
rived in the city from San Francisco
yesterday and at once began rehearsals
of tom and Jerry" and Chill Con
Carne," which he will present as the
opening bill of the new travesty COM
pany at the Royal next Saturday night.
tom and jerry is a musical comedy
in seven scenes, with numerous spe-
cialties. "Chili Con Carne" is what Mr..
Flournoy terms a Mexican travesty."
AS soon as it's run is terminated at the
Belasco Mr.. Flournoy plans to present
travesty of "The Girl of the Golden
West" under the title 1.-THE Girl of the
Golden Vest" Later other plays which
may make big successes locally will be
burlesques at the Royal. 1t is said
that several members of the opera COM
