Police Commissioners Decide That
the Courts Must Pass on Action
Charged to c. SHIRLEY

For more than an hour last night,
the police commission argued with it.
self whether it should hear the charges
preferred against c. Shibley, policeman
at Central park, by G.. w. Slocomb.
The commission finally came to the
conclusion that it would postpone the
charges indefinitely.
The commission took this action be-
cause the cases that brought about
the charges are pending in the police
court and the police board did not feel
justified in acting until the courts had
given a decision
Slocomb, who is said to be one of the
frequenters of Central park, charged
that SHIRLEY had arrested himself and
two others for holding a public de-
bate in the park and that, when he
made the arrest, he had caused the
bail to be fixed at an excessive sum.
The discussion of the case last night
proved that the officer does not fix the
bail, but that the desk sergeant has au-
thority to do so. The courts are to
pass on the question of whether the ar
rests were justified

TO PASS BAND ORDINANCE
Resolution Prepared Providing for Not
Less Than Thirty-five
Musicians

A resolution has been prepared to
be passed by the council at its meet
ing today making a contract with
Harley Hamilton to furnish a band, to
be known as the Municipal band and
to consist of not less than thirty-five
pieces. The Instrumentation is to be
such as may be designated by the
municipal music commission.
The contract provides for sixty con-
certs to be given in eight months, not
less than two concerts a week, and
these concerts will be played at such
places as may be designated by the
music commission. The days selected
and named in the contract are Sun
days and Thursdays at o'clock In the
afternoon. If the weather does not per-
nit outdoor concerts on these days the
music commission. is to designate such
days as the concerts shall be played.
Director Hamilton is to be paid $3.50
for each concert, and out of this sum
he must pay the musicians. There
will be no margin of profit for the
director.
A contract is also to be made with
II. 2. Moore, director of Moore's FL
della band. to play thirteen concerts
in the eight months at the various
Fairgrounds for the benefit of the
children. Moore is to receive $1,000 for
these concerts
Mr. Moore declared last night that
the contemplated expenditure for the
band is fully $40 a concert too much
and that he could furnish one fully as
good for $3.50 a concert. This would
mean a saving of from $1,000 to $500
to the city" said Mr.. Moore, land
would not in the least lower the stand

Yesterday marked the beginning Of
the last stretch of the campaign prior
to the primary nominating election, and
the meetings arranged by the sup
porters of the leading candidates will
be frequent up to week from tonight.
The call for Good Government speakers
has been insistent, as practically every
precinct i'm the city is organized for the
Good Government movement. Those
still unorganiZed viii be taken up this
week, and the organization for the cleo
ton will be compact and thorough IN
all precincts. This has brought forth
an enthusiastic demand for meetings
which is keeping the speakers bureau
at Good Government headquarters in
the German building busy arranging
dates
Three mass meetings VIII be held to-
night-at Loretta hail on Court street
and Union avenue, Woods hall in
Highland Park and at the South Main
Street Christian church. The big gen.
eral meeting of the week will be Friday
evening in Simpson auditorium, which
promises to become a rousing demon
stration of the feeling that capable, in
dependent men should be selected for
every office in the city government.
Judge John d. Works, Marshall Slim
son and Frank G. Finlayson probably
will be the speakers The meeting un-
doubtedly will be one of the most inn
portant of the entire municipal cam
paign.
The demand for organization and eff
fective work has been SO heavy on the
Good Government organiZat. Ons eXecu-
tive committee that expenses are
mounting up. The organization does
not take contributions from candidates
it finds worthy of support, and hence
must depend on the patriotism of its
members. Those who have been active
for some time are liberal contributors,
but there are many new members and
the executive comm ttee is appealing
TO them to aid in the financial end Of
the campaign The following state
mcnt regarding this was made last
night:
"The Good Government organization
is working in every precinct of the
city for the election of Mayor George
Alexander and other public officials
who win faithfully serve the people
of Los Angeles.
"To conduct a political campaign in
n city as large as Los Angeles, even
with the most economical manage
ment costs thousands of dollars.
1.-The Good Government organization
solicts and accepts no contributions
from candidates for office or from
utility corporations and therefore must
look to the unseltish patriotic citizen
for financial support.
Those who approve of the objects of
the Good Government organization and
are willing 10 assist i'm sharing the
expenses Of the campaign are request
ed to send their contributions to head
quarters in the German building, pay
able to the Good Government organi-
cation.

William ]. Washburn is gaining
many votes for the council because of
the general recognition of his eminent
fitness for the finance committee. The
belief that a man of strong financial
ability and training as well as a per-
ception irsuring a broad outlook on
city affairs is bringing him a sub

he might expect opposition. One Of

Considerable agitation and political
discussion were features of the meeting
of the representatives of the different
Christian Endeavor unions at the
First Christian church last night.
The meeting was at the call of Clyde
c. Johnston, chairman of the Good
Government committee of the Los
Angeles Christian Endeavor union, for
the purpose of gaining information re-
garding the character and ability of
the various candidates for city offices.
The chairman called on several who
expressed their varied opinions regard

some point of understanding for whom
to vote at the coming municipal cleo

The meeting resolved itself into the
selection by the chairman of COM

her. But in the wisdom of its counsels
that body has determined that 1t will
make no recommendation or sugges-
ton in this behalf. There is little
doubt that If the Good Government
organization had made such recon-
mendation this league would have APP
proved the same. But since 1t failed
to do so this league has felt that 1t
was incumbent upon it to investigate
as far as practicable the character
and qualifications of the numerous
candidates for the council and par :
ticularly of those who have been affil-
lated with the Good Government move
ment, and 1t has accordingly under
taken to do so.
AS result of such investigation and
consideration of the personnel of that
body of candidates it has determined
to suggest and recommend the follow
ing list of names as those of persons
who, as this league believes, will carry
forward the policies and reforms for
which the movement for good govern
ment in this city stands, to wit:
JOHN d. WORKS, RICHMOND PLANT,
T. L. O'BRIEN. ROBERT NJ. LUsK.
CHARLES ii. RANDALL, III. j. WOOLLA-
COLT, JOSIAS j. ANDREWS, FRANK
WALKER, MARTIN r. BETK0UsKI.
In recommending these names this
league is not insensible of the fact
that there are other men in the long
list OF candidates for the council who
are well qualified for the position and
in all respects worthy of the condolences
and suffrage of their fellow citizens
but II must be remembered that there,
are but nine councilmen to be elected
and but nine names can be voted for
In the primary election.
Respectfully submitted,

MILL AT UNIVERSITY
DESTROYED BY FIRE
LOSS ON WESLEY AVENUE
PROPERTY ABOUT $4,000
j. F. MeGoVern Maintains That the
Big Blaze Was of lncendary
Origin-Two Alarms
Turned In

Fire destroyed the Farmers mill,
1908 Wesley avenue, in the University
district. operated by J. f. McGovern,
shortly after 8 o'clock last night. The
total damage is estimated at $6OOO of
which $4,000 is the loss sustained on
hay, grain, coal, N-ood and vehicles in
the building at the time of the fire.
The damage to the building, which is
a complete wreck, is estimated by the
owner, I. II. Higgins, 1899 Magnolia
avenue, at $1,000. Building and contents
were covered by insurance.
According to Mr.. MeGovern, the fire
was of incendiary origin. He said last
night that he discovered the fire out
side the building ON the south side.
Before he could turn in an alarm or
eXtinguish the blaze it was beyond con-
troll. The only things saved by Mr..
McGovern were two old wagons. One
new wagon was burned. Two horses
in a nearby shed We're rescued.
There is another theory of the origin
of the fire advanced. South of the mill
large quantity of tall, dry grass and
weeds grew. 1t is supposed some pas
serby threw a lighted match or cigar
stump into this dry grass, which,
catching fire, burned like finder and
ignited the dry boards of the building.
Mr. McGovern said last night he had
no enemies who would seek to destroy
his property, although he stoutly main
tanned that the fire had been set by
some person.
Engine companies No and No. Is,
under Battalion Chief Todd, responded
to the first alarm. Excited persons who
discovered the fire after McGovern had
discovered it and had turned in an
alarm, rushed to the same box and
turned in a second alarm, causing con-
sternation for a time at fire head
quarters.
Due to the careful attention in fight
ing the fire Agricultural park and the
lumber yards of the Golden State Lum-
Der company, located across the
street were saved from destruction.

The Sins of the Son,

great severity, as may be inferred
from the following episode, the truth
Of which is vouched for by a gentle
man of position long resident In the
district. On n certain occasion a ma
tive Of low class attacked this gentle
man, seized the bride of his horse
and demanded baksheesh. The rider
promptly delivered his assailant a
blow with his whip and proceeded to
the head sheikh, to whom he reported
the matter. The sheikh undertook to
see that the miscreant should be suit.
ably punished, and the traveller con
tinued his journey. On his return he
again visited this dignitary, who, bow
ing low, assured the gentleman that
both the guilty man and his father had
been severely bastinadoed! The trav-
eler ventured to remark that the ia
ther, at any rate, was innocent and
asked why punishment had been meted
out to him. The reply was quickly
forthcoming, ooh, we punished the
man for his wicked act and the IA
ther because he had not brought up
his son properlyw a rather startling
reversion of the order In which the
punishment for sin is to be visited ac-
cording to Scriptural ideas.
