NATIONAL GUARD
TO AWE STRIKERS

strikers We're undiminished, their num-
Der greater than at the beginning of
the strike and their determination 10
fight to a finish as strong as ever, de-
spite the rumor that five companies of
state militia were in readiness to march
to the support of Sheriff Howard.
Howard admitted this afternoon that
he needed help to handle the situation.
In reply to the sharp criticism of Gov
ernor Gillett, who declared that the
peace officer should have arrested the
ring leaders, he said that to have done
so would have precipitated a riot ne
could not hope to quell and which must
have resulted in the loss of human life.
j. l.. Queale, president of the Nc
Cloud River Lumber company, arrived
in Sisson today and slipped quietly into
McCloud this afternoon, making the
trip in the railroad automobile
He held several conferences with AS
sistant Adjutant General Bradbury and
Sheriff Howard on his arrival there
but declined to make any public state
ment.
The strikers, it is said, had expected
to send delegates to confer with Queale
but were not given an opportunity tc
do So
In their disappointment and chagrir
over this they determined to shut dowr
everything IN tne town, and the march
on the light plant followed
The machine shops of the company
were included in their program, and the
machinists and their helpers were TOLD
to quit work, with the result that the
camp is completely tied up.
After this display of the determine,
ton of the strikers Colonel Bradbury
telegraphed Governor Gillett asking
that troops be sent
News that several companies of sol
diers are hurrying northward and will
arrive at Sisson in the early morning
has created a profound sensation il
Sisson and McCloud.
Some of the residents fear that thi,
will incite the wilder and more reckless
spirits among the strikers to acts O
violence and revenge, and although M
outbreaks had been reported up to
late hour, there was little sleep for thu
citizens tonight.
The arrival of the troops will AFFORD
the company an opportunity to reopel
it's plant with the loyal employees, whit
comprise nearly half the force.
Many of these men who did not joil
the strike have already left to seel
work elsewhere rather than walt TO
the reopening of the mills here.

HOLLYWOOD IS
DEPRIVED OF WATER
RESIDENTS BLAME SUIT FOR
SITUATION
Since O'Clock Tuesday Afternoon
Large and ThickIy Populated
Portion of City Has Been
Shut off from Supply

East Hollywood, comprising a large
area thickly populated, was entirely
cut off from water supply Tuesday aft
ernoon at o'clock and all of yesterday
and last night.
Residents living within that area
were indignant and openly charged
that they were deprived of water on
account of the suit now pending
against the Hollywood Union Water
company.
In all of that section of Hollywood
there was no water for any purpose
after O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. One
of the compliments said that water
needed for the sick and for infants was
not available.
An effort was made to communicate
with officers of the company last night
in order to get an explanation OF the
extraordinary situation, but 1t was
futile.
There is pending in the superior
court a suit against the Hollywood
Union Water company brought by citi-
zens of Hollywood.

SAYS ROADS NEGLECT
STREET IMPROVEMENT
CITY ENGINEER ARRAIGNS
RAILWAYS
Declares Lines Delay In Laying Their
Share Of Pavement and Use
Material of Inferior
Quality

1t is a scorching arraignment or the
railways and their actions on street I'M
provements that City Engineer Homer
Hamlin presents in a report complleo
for the council. The report is made IN
answer to questions asked by the coun-
Gil of the city engineer.
Mr.. Hamlin says the Nrooman act
which is the general street law, under
which practically all public improve
ments are done, requires the street rail-
ways to improve the portion OF the
roadway between their tracks and fol
two feet on either side, with the same
class of Improvement, at the same time
and under the same supervision as
the property owners portion of the
work is done.
an many cases the railway COM
panies have violated this law" says
Mr.. Hamlin in his report. They lay
different kind OF surface ana OF
cheaper material. 1t is unjust dis
elimination to force the property own
ers to put down an expensive pavement
and permit the railways to put down a
much cheaper material"
number of instances are quoted
One is where the Los Angeles railway
was using bituminized brick on Also
street while the rest of the roadway
was paved with vitrified brick The
CITY engineer also COIllpldlllo IiihA Yin
railways use an asphalt-concrete base
instead of a hydraulic cement base
which is required in street paving. He
says the railways are also slack in bal
lasting their roadbeds below the ties
and points to Ninth street as a horrible
example of failure to ballast properly
He quotes such other examples as
Broadway, from Seventh to Tenth; Fig
ueroa, from Second to Sixth; Sixth
from Olive to Figueroa, and Seventh
from Broadway to Figueroa.
Months elapse before the railway
does it's share of the work, although by
law it is compelled to do the work al
the same time the rest of the roadway
is improved" he reports. He cites
Grand avenue from Pico to Jefferson
This street has been paved for the last
four and a half months, lut the Los
Angeles railway has carried its portion
of the pavement only as far as Wash
ington, and stopped there, with no in
dication of continuing. Mr. Hamlir
recommends that the law be enforced.

ASK TRUSTEES TO
REMOVE PRINCIPAL
Men Hold Meeting and Plan to Pre-
sent Authorities with Remon-
STRANGE Against Head of
Grammar Schools
Especial to The Herald.1

HOLLYWOOD, June AT a meet
ing of taxpayers at the home of Philo
j. Beveridge of Prospect and Wilcox
avenues tonight steps were taken to
persuade the school trustees, Mrs. An
struther Davidson and R. B. Lyon, to
dispense with the services of Profess
sor w. C. Conoyer a principal of the
grammar schools. A committee was APP
pointed to wait on the trustees with
remonstrance, and if the committee is
unsuccessful a mass meeting of the
taxpayers of Hollywood will be called
and the matter will be laid before
them.
So far the efforts in opposition to
Mr.. Conover have been carried on by
women of the city, but as they claim to
have received indifference from the two
members of the school board the men
will take a hand in the affair. The COM
mittee which was appointed this even
ing is composed of some of the most
prominent business men of the city,
whose influence should have some bear
ing They are A. y. Taft, H. J. Byshe,
E. B. Maple, City Trustee George Lash
ley, F. H. Jolliffe, c. G. Lewis,
George Melville, E. S. Stevens, H. j.
Haskell, c. S. Brown. William Para
more, W. C. Frye, 1. n. Wilson and ].
c. Harris.
Several of the women who look after
the work of the children in the school
spoke of the alleged ungentlemanly
treatment which they received at the
hands of Mr. Conover. One of the
chief complaints was, according to
their statements. that Mr.. Conover had
called their children liars when diff
eulties between the children and the
teachers were brought to his notice
It was also alleged that he had stated
in a paper that was read before one of
the Parent Teachers associations that
only one child in one thousand told the
truth.
The chief charge lodged against the
schools head was that of unprofession-
al conduct and that the general atmos-
phere of the school is not such as to
be conducive of the best results. MI
merous instances of seeming rebuffs
by Mr. Conover We're given as evidence
of the apparent uselessness of getting
an understanding with the principal in
aggravating cases.
The committee of women appointed
some time ago to confer with the
board at the time Mr.. Conover was
elected for another year reported they
had received an unsatisfactory audi
ence. The men will see what is posi-
BILE to be done in that direction before
the election is confirmed in July.

(By Associated Press3

WASHINGTON, June 2.--Under the
instructions of Brigadier General Al
len, chief of the signal corps of the
army. plans have been prepared, it
was announced tonight, showing what
| is necessary for the aerial defense of
the United States.
If congress would appropriate the
| money he would begin at three points
along the Atlantic Washington,
New York and Philadelphia-whe
dirigible balloons and aeroplanes would
be stationed. At each point one large
balloon and probably an aeroplane
would be placed This would require
more than 100000.
General Allen has had prepared a
map showing points along the other
borders of the country and in the in
terror where he believes there should
be aerial defense stations. To carry
out the entire scheme would rquire
about $4,000, 600.
The war department is convinced, in
the light of achievement of the Zeppe-
lin balloon, that the era of aerial navi-
cation has arrived.
1t hopes congress will also awake
to a realization of the fact, and that
appropriations will be made sufficient
10 permit lUlS " hCSp PclNO
with the European nations.
In anticipation of favorable action
by congress, the signal corps has been
instructed to prepare the plans re-
ferred to.
Intention of Corps
1T is intended" said an army officer
tonight, that the coast dirigible shall
not pass off its own station except in
cases of extremity and that the sailing
distance shall be 1875 miles south and
1875 miles north from it's depot.
In this manner the entire coast from
Maine to Florida will be patrolled and
in cases of war it will be virtually i'm
possible for a hostile fleet to approach
the coast of the United States without
being discovered long before the sem
tinels on land could see the vessels.
"Once discovered the fleets move
ment could be watched with safety
and with the use of wireless its maneu-
vers be sent the length of the coast
1.-THE plans will include an elaborate
system of vertical searchlights by
which the airships will be guided dur
ing the night flights.
'These lights will mark the various
batteries and the balloon depots, and
they also will be used in signaling the
swiftly flying ships overhead. Most of
the signaling, however. probably will
be done through the medium of the
wireless.
Experiments have demonstrated that
messages can be received in bal
loon car with complete safety, although
there is question whether messages can
be sent to earth from the car without
exploding the free gas that surrounds
the balloon envelope

INDUCES BOARD TO GIVE
UP SEWER CONSTRUCTION
George ZobeIein Pays into City Treas
ury Amount Expended for Adj
vertising and Publicity

By paying $110 into the city treas
ury. George Zobelein Yesterday induced
the board of public works to abandon
a large portion of the sewer it had in
tended to construct in Figueroa and
other streets.
Mr.. Zobelein told the board the por-
ton of the sewer to which he opJecteo
was located in property owned by him
which is only acreage. While he has
dedicated streets for public use in this
tract. there is no sign of the street, ex-
cept on the official maps. and as nc
houses are located on the property the
land owner does not want to pay the
heavy expense of a sewer.
The $110 which the protestant PAID is
for advertising and publication. Inc
work must be done over. A new or
dinance of intention must be passed by
the council, eliminating the portion OF
the sewer to be abandoned.

Municipal Affairs
PRESENTS PLANS FOR
BUENA VISTA BRIDGE
SPECIFICATIONS GIVEN TO
PUBLIC WORKS
City Engineer WithhoIds Estimates on
Cost of Structure Which Will
Be Handsomest in South
ern California

Plans and specifications for the new
Buena Vista street viaduct have been
submitted by the city engineer to the
board of public works, and as soon as
the city attorney has passed on them
as to form the specifications Will be
advertised and bids asked thirty days
after the publication of the first no
tice. According to City Engineer Ho-
mer Hamlin, this new bridge VIII De
the handsomest by far in Southern
California.
No estimate of the cost is made pub
lie by the engineer, as he finds the city
always receives a better figure when
he withholds his estimates until after
the bids are submitted. But the pre-
vious estimates place it close to a
quarter of million. The finance COM
mittee appropriated $115,000 in the
budget for the present fiscal year,
which was the portion of the total cost
it was expected would be expended,
but so far there is $105,000 still left In
this fund When the budget is made
up for next year it will contain the re-
mainder of the sum necessary to pay
the cost of the bridge construction.
The Los Angeles Railway company
will use the bridge jointly with the
city, and the city engineer has pre-
pared a schedule of percentages of cost
which he expects the railway to pay
as its share There are fifteen or TWEEN
ty different items in the complete con-
tract and bids will be asked on the
separate items and not on the COM
plete structure.
The bridge will be a reinforced con-
crete structure of seven arch spans,
varying from 104 to 119 feet in length,
with a length over all of 1858 feet. The
width is siXty-eight feet, with fifty
eight foot roadway and two six-foot
sidewalks.
The ornamental work will be let I'M
der a separate contract. The right OF
way has been secured over the South
ern Pacific, Santa Fe and Salt Lake
railways, although the documents have
not been signed. 1t is proposed to be-
gin work before the middle of August.
