COUNTY TO GET
SCHOOL FUNDS
MARK KEPPEL SENDS ORDER
TO THE BOARD
CITY TREASURY WILL CEASE TO
HANDLE RECEIPTS
Tax Money, However, Is Declared by
Auditor Mushet Exempt from
Operations of Mandate
Issued

An order from Mark Keppel, county
superintendent of schools, to the board
Of education of Los Angeles, directing
the board to turn all money in the
treasury into the county treasury, was
read to the members of the board at
a meeting of that body last night. The
order in part was as follows
You are hereby notified and directed
to pay Immediately all moneys col
lected by you from any source what
ever for school purposes into the coun-
ty treasury, to the credit of the special
fund of your district. This notice is
issued in harmony with the provisions
of section 1917 and subsection 2 OF
the political code"
This means that from now on the
money which has been collected by the
city board for tuition fees, rents and
small sales, will be put into the county
treasury instead of into the city treas
ury as heretofore. According to w. c.
Mushet, city auditor this will amount
approximately to $4,000 year At
present there is about $4,000 of such
money in the city treasury.
This ORDER said Mr.. Mushet, "does
not affect the tax money collected for
the school board. DR.. E. c. Moore
thinks that this too, should be turned
into the county treasury, but moneys
so collected always will be turned into
the city treasury"

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS j. = |
COUNCIL DECIDES TO
OPEN GRAND AVENUE
COMPROMISE REACHED AND
PROTESTS DENIED
Directors TecIare They viii Go Into
Civil Courts and Fight on
Ground of lrregu-
larities

After three years before the city
council and in the civil courts, the
matter of the opening of Grand ave-
nue., between Temple and California,
was definitely. settled by the council
yesterday. The street will be opened.
The council yesterday denied all pro-
tests. 1t did this on the understanding
that some sort of compromise was be-
ing patched up between the protestants
and Phillip Eicholz, the person chiefly
interested in the street opening.
The protest against the opening of
this street was based on the great eX-
pense. For opening this one block more
than $4,000 will have to be expended
in reimbursing those whose property
has been condemned. After this money
is paid the street must be graded and
improved.
Property owners in the assessment
district, who protested against the
opening, believed Mr.. Eicholz was be-
ing paid too much for his condemned
property. Shortly after the proceed
ings to open the street began Mr..
Eicholz purchased the property in
question for $4,000. For the portion
of the property condemned he, Eicholz.
was awarded $4,000, and he still has
enough left to be worth about $4,000
at the same ratio.
The council took the attitude that
the opening of this street was a neoes-
sary public improvement, and that if
all proceedings were abandoned and be-
gun again. it would probably cost
more, with the natural increase in the
price of property, than it would to
sustain the present proceedings.
The protestants declared during the
hearing that if the council acted
against them they would go again into
the civil courts on the grounds that
all the technical proceedings in the
matter were not regular.

DELIVERS FOURTH LECTURE
ON SHAKESPEARE'S WORKS
Professor Sprague Presents for His
Subject the Fall of Macbeth
from Innocence to
Diabolism

Prof. H. B. Sprague, former president
of the University of North Dakota, de-
livered the fourth of a series of six lee
lures on the works of Shakespeare last
night.
The lecture was given in a very in
teresting and instructive manner under
the auspices of the school of English in
the lecture hall of the Y. w. c. A.
building.
The subject of the lecture was "The
Fall of Macbeth from Innocense to Dia-
bolism," which opened with the MUIR
der of Banquo, whom the witches had
predicted would be the father of kings.
Then follows the banquet scene,
where the ghost of the murdered Ban
quo appears. and the famous caldron
scene where the witches produce
strange apparltions.
Then came the sleep walking scene
IN which Lady Macbeth tries to wash
the blood from her hands.
The play ends with the death of
Macbeth and the capture Of his castle
by the invading army from England
led by Malcolm, who ascends the
throne

Speaks to Ministers

ut is well to get Christians right

In accordance with special lhViialio u
for the ministers within fifty miles OF

regular meeting of the Los Angeles
Ministerial union at the Bible inst1o

in part: ..,.,,,o,,s
at is an awful, as well as glorious
thing, to be a minister of the gospel,
au-f,1I when he is unfaithful and glori-
o,,s when he is possessed with the Holy
Spirit. had rather be a true minister
than a king. I can't imagine a deeper
hell than for a minister to be unfalth-

WANTS FLEET KEPT
IN PACIFIC WATERS
City Council Passes Resolution, Ask
ing Roosevelt to Permit Armada
to Remain Near Western
Coast

BY recommendation of the mayor
the council yesterday passed a resolu-
ton which seeks to have President
Roosevelt keep the American fleet in
Pacific waters for some time. This
resolution will be telegraphed to the
president.
This action is similar to those taken
by many municipal bodies of the Pa
cif1c coast states.
1t, is based on the theory that the
best guarantee of peace is to be pre-
pared for war and it is felt it would
be much safer to have the armada
somewhere on the Pacific in case the
yellow peril became more menacing.
Councilman Healy made an objection
to the resolution on the ground he did
not believe it was proper for the city
council to dictate to the president what
he should do with the navy, but he
voted for il lust the same.

DECLARES DEALERS SELL
COAL BY SHORT WEIGHT
Official Suggests Scales Be Estab-
Iished to Correct Evils Ordered
to Make Recommendation
to Council

The city sealer of weights and
measures recommended to the city
council yesterday that city scales be
established where a ton would be 1000
pounds, and not forty to 1875 pounds
short, as he declared was frequently
the case with tons of coal sent to
patrons in Los Angeles.
In his communication he declared
many cars of coal arrived at Los An
geles frequently with 1000 to 5000
pounds shortage, but the wholesale
dealer had to make up this loss and
usually he made it up by short weights
to his customers.
The city sealer declared he believed
scales could be established without cost
to the city.
The council ordered him to make a
full recommendation at the meeting
next Monday.
