The Rev. Russell states that he came
into the possession Of this valuable
book while a student at Dartmouth
College, New Hampshire. 1t was Civ
en- to him by an old man who lived at
Grafton, VT. The book was taken
from an English officer who was cap
tured by the Continental troops at the
battle Of Trenton, which was fought in
1776. The old man who gave the Rev.
Russell the book, stated that it had
been handed down by members of his
family from generation to generation

STANDS FOR TEMPERANCE.
e. M. Haas Likes Local Option Meas
urc.

Edgar NJ. Haas, republican chair
man Of the Sixth congressional district
has positive opinions in reference to
two subjects that shoulN be treated
of in the republican state platform.
One of these is the tariff. and he Is
in favor of a plank declaring for a
proper revision, by proper methods,
one of which, in his opinion, should be
by holding a special session of con
gress that would make consideration
Of the tariff its chief duty.
The other subject On which Mr..
Haas favors taking advanced ground
as a party is that of temperance. He
declares that there should be no re-
peal of any temperance laws now on
the statute books, but that if anything
they should be added to. He favors
a strong local option feature, beiev
ing that through that and other legis
lation, practically all conditions thai
arise can be met.

EXPECTS SOME DIFFERENCES.
John e. Osborne Declares Platform
Can Not Suit Everybody.

Greensburg, Ind, March 16-John
E. Osborne, democratic chairman OF
the Sixth district, in reference to
what he believes should be the prin,
cipal plank in the democratic state
platform, has the following to say:
There will be differences of opin-
ion this year among democrats in In
diana as to what planks their state
platform should contain. The repub,
hcans Will be met with the same con.
ditions. II will be impossible for
either party 10 write a platform which
will meet with the approval of every
one in the party. As a member OF the
state committee / will have no more
TO say or do with reference TO what
our platform SHAH contain than any
other member of our party"

COUNClLMEN DISCUSS
INCREASE OF SALARIES
ALL AGREE THAT MAYOR is
POORLY PAID
Their Own Remuneration Also Re-
garded as Below Mark-Amend-
ments to Charter Probably
Will Be Submitted

Knowing that the charter revision
committees initiative petition to amend
the charter will come before it at its
next meeting the council is considering
other amendments to be submitted
when the initiative amendments are
put up for election.
One of these is an increase in the
salary of the mayor. 1t is notorious
that the mayor of Los Angeles receives
less money for his services than does
any chief executive of a city the size
of Los Angeles in the United States.
He must be content with 5000 month.
While the mayoralty is the highest
office in the municipality there are
other city officials who receive more
than the chief executive. The city en-
gineer has a salary of $4,000 year and
Superintendent Mulholland of the wa
ter department draws $4,000 year.
Each member of the board of public
works, body appointed by the mayor.
receives 5000 a month. The president Of
the water commission, j. j. Fay, jr,
also receives $500 a month.
The council is about evenly divided
on the amount to be paid the mayor.
Some say $4,000 a year, others $4,000
All are agreed the salary should be
increased, and it is probable an amend
ment to that effect will be submitted
together with the other charter amend
ments.
1t is also probable an amendment Will
be proposed to increase the salaries of
councilmen. They now receive $100 a
month, and some of them virtually give
their entire time to the interests of
their wards.

WOULD IMPORT QUAIL
INTO GRIFFITH PARK
Game Warden Proposes to Place Forty
Thousand in AVary, Drawing
the Supply from the San
Diego Country

That forty thousand quail be placed
in an aviary at Griffith park, kept
there until February and then liberia
ted, was the proposal submitted by
Game Warden Pritchard to the park
commission yesterday. A committee
was appointed to look into the matter.
The quail are becoming so numer-
Gus in San Diego county, that they
have become a pest. The ranchers
have started systematic crusade
against them and are trapping them
by the hundreds.
1t is the plan of the ~"'71e warden
to place these surplus quail in Los
Angeles county. In this way San Diego
county will be rid of it's pests and
Los Angeles county sportsmen get the
benefit. The spOrtsmen of this coun-
ty have made no complaint that the
quail are too numerous.
It is planned to build a monster
aviary at Griffith park, feed and care
for the quail, and when the become
accustomed to Los Angeles county as
a home, turn them loose.
The city probably will pay the ex-
pense of the aviary, md the state
maintain the quail while they are
confined. The state is so anxious to
make this provision that it probably
will pay the cost of the aviGry, should
the park commission object. The
cost will be small, as the aviary will
be made of wire screening.
