MEMORIAL DAY

Which Urges That May 80 Be
Set Apart for Reverent
Services

On request made to the Los Angeles
police board by the general memorial
committee that no permits be issued by

ments and affairs that will tend in any
WAY to detract from the sacredness OF
Memorial day as day wisely set apart
for all to remember the nations dead,
the commissioners promptly decided to
comply.
The committee also requested that
the national colors be displayed from
sunrise until noon at half staff on all

to the memory of the brave men who
on land and on sea defended the ma
TONS honor in time of war.

CITY WANTS TAKERS
FOR 5000 BONDS
TREASURER HANCE READY TO
SIGN ORDERS
Expected That Entire $4,000 Popu-
lar Priced Issue VIII Be Alb
sorbed In Los Angeles
Quickly

City Treasurer G. H. Hance yester-
day received the subscription blanks
for the new issue of owens river bonds,
and Ia now prepared to handle all ap-
plications for what Is believed to be
one of the most popular bond issues
ever put out by the city.
Unless other arrangements are made
the disposal Of the entire Issue of $780,
900 will be made from the treasurer s
office at the Los Angeles city hall.
Treasurer Hance says that no bank
has been authorized to receive sub
scriptions, but that he will be pleased
to have the assistance of the banks If
they will give it.
The issue Is essentially popular
one. In denominations of 5000 each, the
bonds are designed to offer an invest
ment to the savings bank depositor or
those who have locked their money up
in safety deposit boxes. They bear 4
per cent interest, payable semi-annu-
ally and mature in from seven to forty
years.
No municipal bonds from the point
of stability have g. better standing, say
local bond experts, than those of Los
Angeles, and these bonds may be de-
pended upon to be always negotiable.
Good as Gold
The fact that in emergency these
securities can be easily disposed of, are
nom taxable, are as good as government
bonds and bear A per cent interest
makes them much more desirable than
a savings bank deposit
w. B. Mathews of the aqueduct legal
department, who left Los Angeles yes
terday for three weeks in the east on
aqueduct business, expressed every con-
fidence that the entire issue would be
subscribed before his return.
frsCf 1erhf fNrQr I'm ~
of $4,000" he said; 1.-The second issue,
at the first of the year, was disposed
of In two parts, the state taking $780,
900 and local banks taking $4,000. At
the time Of the last issue there were a
number of requests that the denomina-
tions be reduced to 5000 in order that
the smallest investor might be given an
opportunity not only to invest his saw
ings but to show his faith In the great
enterprise that we have DONE"
incidentally Treasurer Hance, City
Clerk Lelande and Mayor Harper will
be required to make their signatures
100 times before the last bond is sold
and delivered, as the law requires that
each security shall bear the witnessed
signature of each of these officials.
No one of the three relishes the task,
and it will probably be done on the
installment plan; that is, the law re-
quires that the bonds shall be sold in
blocks of not less than thirty-four.
AS soon as the subscriptions are of this
number the bonds will be signed, the
allotment made and the delivery will
then take place.
IT expect to see them go right along"
said Treasurer Hance yesterday. mo
reason why they should not. They are
of small denominations, and a person
can buy one or more. They are bonds
that fit the size of the purse. I shall
be glad to explain to any prospective
investor how desirable these securities
are"

MAYOR SEEKS CASH
FOR CITY SANDBEDS
Lawmakers Divided az to How License
Should Be Collected, but Are
Inclined Toward Tax
alton

Mayor A.. C. Harper is inclined to
agree with City Engineer Homer Ham
lin that the river bed sand, now given
away by trainloads by the city, should
he bringing in O. revenue of 100000
year. He said so yesterday.
Whether the money should be COL
lected by taxing each load, each wagon,
the contractors or on a per diem oasis
has not been settled.
The official inspection trip Wednes-
day afternoon by Councilman Lyon,
Healy and Clampitt. Engineers Homer
Hamlin and H. J. Parker, the members
of the board of public works and Super
intendent w. Lawrence of the street
department, made in automobiles, en-
braced the bridged section OF the Los
Angeles river from Buena Vista street
to Seventh street, and confirmatory
evidence of Engineer Hamlin's warn
ings were found. 1t was stated that
by the careless actions OF the SAND
haulers, over whom there is no super
vision, some of the bridge foundations
had been impaired because great, cav
ernous depths near by had been emp
tied of sand.
The board of public works believes
that some provision should be made for
the future to see that revenue is at
hand for strengthening the bridge piers
when the necessity arises, an expense
viii i the municipality should not be
made to bear.
President Albert Hubbard does not
believe the 10 cents yard scheme a
good one, as 1t will necessitate keeping
toll inspectors at every avenue or exit
along the river bed to collect the fees.
This will absorb all the profits, though
1t might add few more city jobs.
Councilman Lyon thinks monthly
license will cover the situation and re-
suit In the city getting all the revenue
it Graves.
The sand teamsters object to any tax,
but it is pointed out by councilmen
and others that all they have to do is to
add the cost of the tax to the selling
price of the sand and the teamsters
will not suffer any loss.
Today former President James A.
Anderson of the board of public works
and Lee Gates will discuss the river
bed problem before the City club. Mr..
Gates is director of the proposed har-
Dor line railroad known as the Bird
project Mr.. Anderson opposes grant
ing any river bed franchises.

Wornen's Clubs
Friday Morning Club

One long drawn sigh of relief and
then tumultuous applause yesterday
followed the announcement of the
nominating committee Of the Friday
Morning club that the president, Mrs.
Shelley H. Tolhurst, has reconsidered
her determination not to serve the club
in that capacity another year, and
graciously yielding to the pressure
brought to bear by the committee and
individual members, will accept the
nomination that is being pressed upon
her.
Mrs. Tolhurst, who has served the
club several years as chief executive,
Is, of course, thoroughly in touch with
the needs of the organization and also
with the important business of erect
ing the proposed club house, which
project will undoubtedly be put
through during the coming year. In
view of this situation 1t has been the
wish of the club that Mrs. Tolhurst
remain at the helm for another twelve
months, and in order to do so she has
sacrificed important personal plans.
Her nomination yesterday is equiva-
lent to an election, as the vote of the
club was unanimous.
Other nominations announced were.
Mrs. John r. Haynes, first vice presi-
dent; Mrs. ]. B. Lippincott, second vice
president; Mrs. Jules Kaufman, re-
cording secretary; Miss Laura G..
Smith. corresponding secretary; Mrs.
N. X. Potter, treasurer. "

SETTLEMENT SEEMS NEAR
FOR EDENDALE'S TROUBLE
Board Of Public Works, Trolley Off
Gals and Property Owners
Reach Basis of an Un-
Outstanding

Edendale's controversy with the troll
ley railroads is being settled in the
board of public works.
Differences growing out of the use
of private and public rights Of way by
the Glendale line led to offers and
counter offers being made after the
residents took their difficulty before the
city authorities. Now an adjustment is
in sight.
To settle the Baxter street grade,
boundaries and other technicalities the
city may bring a friendly suit in court
to get judicial determination. The
plan is to make this a 120-foot street,
possibly seventy feet on each side of
the right of way.
Some deep cuts and fills are needed in
that billy section to carry out the pro-
posed plans and considerable capital is
involved. Riorapping and bridge build
ing may also be necessary at places.
The hitch has been over who should
bear most of the cost and whether the
trolley officials had right to use Bax-
ter street as a highway.

MAY TAKE HEALYS
NEW BRIDGE AWAY
COUNCIL DEAL THREATENS
EIGHTH WARD
Proposed Plan omits Reference to
Main Street Viaduct During
Next Fiscal Year, but
Waitl

And now a plan Is afoot to deprive
Councilman Bernard Healy of his pet
project, new river bridge for Main
street.
The Eighth ward statesman has just
heard of it and even his best friends
could not get smile from him yes
terday. The conspirators have touched
vital spot.
For several years Healy has been
agitating for a new bridge as one OF
the needs of Los Angeles, and he
thought he saw a victory ahead IN
the second half of 1908.
All the councilmen have their pen
ellis and paper pads out much of the
time figuring, as they expect much
more appropriation money will be avail
able when the new fiscal year starts
In July. Bridges will be an important
item in the budget.
Bound by stern promises the ma
jority of the council will undoubtedly
give to the First ward the much talked
of Downey-Buena Vfsta-Pasadena
bridge, or at least furnish funds to
start the costly work. Councilman
Dromgold has for months regulated
his votes, his friends and enemies both
say, on promises growing out OF that
bridge.
Healy also thought that the much
travelled highway through his ward
would get new structure, even
though the council spent a few thou
sands last year in making temporary
repairs in propping up the ancient
structure.
The board of public works and troll
ley officials yesterday tried to reach
an agreement on the proportion of cost
which the municipality shall bear on
the proposed new Seventh street
bridge.
The cost will be about $4,000 and
the usual plan has been to divide the
cost in the proportion of two-thirds fol-
the city and and one-third for the
trolley company.
on Tuesday bids will be taken for
the structure.

SETTLING TROUBLES
AT CEMENT WORKS
MULHoLLAND IS RETURNING
FROM TEHACHAPI
New Plan Of Hiring and Supervising
Aqueduct Workmen Being Con-
sldered by Board of PUB
lie Works

Chief Engineer William Mulholland
telephoned from Mojave last night that
he would return to Los Angeles this
evening from his trip of inspection
along the Los Angeles-Owens river
aqueduct route.
It is probable that a long conference
will be held between the aqueduct Of
ficials. the board of public works. Ce-
ment Expert Duryee, and possibly the
two Fishers mot relatives), who have
in their charge the men at the Te-
hachapi cement works.
The administration has sent peremp-
tory word that some adjustment must
be had of the labor troubles, 1t is
stated. Less friction, a policy of Los
Angeles workmen first, careful, impair
tial supervision of the relative ability
of the .workmen to do their allotted
tasks; reform In the straw boss sys-
tenn, and other features and more
diplomatic handling of the force OF sew
enty-five at the cement plant will fol-
low, 1t Is believed.
The aqueduct board, engaged with
larger problems, has left some details
to lesser officials with the result that
both General Adna r. Chaffee and En-
gineer Mulholland took a special trip
to Tehachapi to learn what the trouble
was.
Unfortunately, they found none Of
the discharged men there, as they are
all in Los Angeles. The testimony
they gathered was given from the other
standpoint altogether favorable to the
men in control there. The other side
will be brought out by the civil serv-
Ice commission soon.
Mnh of the time of Cement Expert
Duryee in Los Angeles has been taken
up with examining and considering APP
plicants for work while he was here.
This, IT is held by administration Of
ficials, need not be done by a man OF
Duryee's technical ability. His time
is needed for weightier problems Of in
stallation of machinery, etc. Some
method of deciding on labor here Will
be devised, probably, rather than leave
the duty to the same interests which
hired Cotton, San Bernardino and other
non-residents. The mayor Is now con-
sidering such a course.
By June 1t Is said an entire new
method of looking after the aqueduct
labor problem will be found. for which
the mayor. the aqueduct board and the
civil service commission will make the
rules

BOARD WILL PUT BAN ON
ARTIFICIAL BUTTERMILK
Council viii Be Asked to Amend ln-
opectlon Ordinance to Include
Sour Temperance
Drinks

Artificial buttermilk has become SC
popular in Los Angeles that the board
Of health has determined to change
the ordinances SO that buttermilk shall
be subject to inspection as we'll as
other milk. The council will be asked
to pass such legislation shortly.
At present 1t is not specifically men,
toned. It is overlooked on the theory
that 1T is milk product, under which
classification It Is not subject to city
inspection, which is also the case with
cheese and butter.
Some dairymen use Tactic acid, phos-
pilates and other chemicals to make
buttermilk out of inferior and old milk
and as q rule the consumer cannot de-
tect the difference.
Some dairymen even are accused OF
using the water with which they SCOUT
the milk cans as a basis of buttermilk
adding little SOUP milk thereto.

gram, it is known that much attention
will be given to questions affecting the
best interests of the city.
The June program promises to be OF
unusual interest. The first Friday
morning is to be occupied by Prof. t..
r. Baumgardt who will deliver lee
ture dealing with the development OF
the human mind, tracing his subject
from the embryo of prehistoric times
up to the highly developed gray mat
ter of the twentieth century and IL
Illustrating his talk with slides secured
from the British museum. DR.. Baum
gardt has been collecting material for
this lecture for over fifteen years.
Marshall Stimson Is to be the speak
er June IL, and, with 1.-The Way the
Machine Does Politics" for his sub
ject, will explain matters that hereto
fore have been as unansWerable con-
undrums to many women.
A program that is sure to arouse en-
thusiasm has been arranged for June
10, when the topic "Are We Civilized?'
is to be discussed first from the plat
form by four prominent members of
the club, two taking the affirmative
and two the negative, after which the
meeting will be thrown open and dis
cussion conducted from the floor.
The program for the last Friday or
the month, and the last meeting of the
club for the fiscal year, has not been
completed, but that it will be fitting
crown to the happily devised series
that has preceded it there can be no
doubt. The annual luncheon will take
place at this time.

FOURTH STREET PROJECT
Property Owners Say Widening and

Property owners have decided to

to straighten and widen Fourth street

Yesterday a long petition was filed
with City Clerk Harry Lelande asking
that the city take steps to bring about
abandonment of all proceedings.
The original ordinance was passed on
