MUNICIPAL FAIRGROUNDS
TO GIVE entertainments
Children at Breathing Spots of City
Will Be Amused by Program
of Music

The following programs have been ar
ranged for the Saturday evening enter
tainments at the Fairgrounds by the
municipal playground commission;
Playground No. 1, Violet street:
Miss Sadie Roberts, from Cumnock
School of Expression will give a num-
Der of readings.
The Southern California Music COM
pany has arranged a special program of
music and entertainment from the talk
ing machine department. Mr.. Lovejoy
will explain the principles of the phono-
graph and how it reproduces the hu-
man voice.
Playground No 2, Echo park play
ground:
Stereopticon lecture, "a Trip to Old
Mexico" Spanish music interspersed
by Mrs. Corella-Phipps.

sent an evening of song, consisting of
solos, duets, quartets and chorus music
The public is cordially invited to at
tend these entertainments and see what

ground department of this city. This
city is becoming noted for its play
grounds and the way they are carried
on. The playground congress now as
sembling In Pittsburg may hold its next
congress here in 1910. This will bring
prominent educators and civic bodies to
our city to study the system as carried

SUB-COMMITTEES TO
VISIT COAST CITIES
WILL ARRANGE C0NS0LIDA-
TON AGREEMENT
AneeIenos to Make Investigation at
San Pedro and Wilmington Toward
Satisfactory Adjustment of
Differences

The two subcommittee appointed by
the Los Angeles consolidation commit
tee, to which has been assigned the
work of getting data and comforting
with citizens and business men of San
Pedro and Wilmington with view to
arriving at some basis of consolidation
agreeable to all parties concerned. will
begin that work today.
The San Pedro committee will visit
that city today and the Wilmington
committee will go forth on a like mis-
sion. These committees will gather
such information by personal contact
with the citizens of the two communi-
ties and inspection of the harbors as
IL their opinion will be useful to the
consolidation committee. 1t is entirely
probable that numerous visits will be
made to the coast toVns and confer
ences held with the business represent
atives of the communities. The pur-
pose is to gather data and information
upon which to base a report from
which the committee of fifteen can
formulate plan of consolidation.
Captain Fries, United States en-
gineer, was yesterday formally invited
to accompany the committee which
will visit Wilmington. Captain Fries
stated that he would accept the invi-
tation, and would lend the committee
whatever assistance he could in arriv-
ing at a rational and reasonable solu-
tion of the problems of the inner har-
Dor.
The committee today will probably
do little more than inspect the harbors
and meet with the business men. They
will act Independently of each other,
one being assigned to San Pedro while
the other is to investigate Wilmington

GRANTS ALL
HEALTH BOARD ASKS
CITY GETS BENEFIT OF LOWER
PAYROLL
Classification in Inspection Force
Abolished, and All inspectors
Will Have to Do Work of
Every Kind

As an example to other municipal de-
partments and showing what may be
accomplished by conference held in
the right spirit, the council yesterday
agreed to everything the board of
health has demanded in the matter of
the inspecting force.
Before the conference adjourned yes
terday afternoon the council instructed
the city attorney to draw an ordinance
for presentation next Tuesday proVid-
ing for fourteen sanitary inspectors in
the health department, abolishing the
positions of secretary of the board OF
health and six classificattons, and COM
bining the positions of cook ana care
taker at the detention hospital at one
salary. The fulhllment of these plans
will mean a saving 10 the city OF
about $4,000 a year.
At the meeting of the council week
ago last Tuesday, the mayor, acting
for the board, sent a message to the
council asking that the positions of
restaurant, assistant restaurant, bak-
cry, vegetable, lodging house and gar
bage inspectors be abolished. and that
eleven sanitary inspectors and three
assistants be substituted for the ten
sanitary inspectors on the payroll. The
object is to have all inspectors respon-
sible for one district and take care Of
all the work in that district, instead
Of sending half dozen specialists over
the same ground.
But when this message was read, the
spoils councilmen thought some Of
their henchmen were losing their jobs
and they refused to grant the board
request.
Last Tuesday the board of health
asked for a conference, and yesterday
was set as the time for the council
and board to get together. The board
Yesterday told the council that the po-
sition of assistant restaurant inspector
is vacant. and Nick Schwegel, restau-
rant inspector, will soon resign, so that
no one will be ousted from his job
by reducing the number of inspectors
When the council learned that all that
was necessary was to abolish the clas-
sifications and permit the IN
cumbents to retain positions as sanl-
tarv inspectors at the salaries they now
receive there was no opposition. The
position of secretary of the board was
abolished without a quiver, although
many friends of II. NJ (Polly) Love
will be sorry to see him lose the posi-
tion he has held for the past year or
more. In place of the secretaryship a
position will be created for combined
telephone operator and stenographer at
a salary of $75 a month.

Condition of Cereal Is 81 Per. Cent,
Four Points Less Than Ten Years

WASHINGTON, May An average
condition of S3.5 per cent for winter
wheat and 1871 for rye on May l, last,
against a ten-year average on that
date of S6 and S9.1 respectively, was

BUREAU OF STATISTICS
SHOWS TRADE. DECLINE
Imports and Exports Measured in
Value Are Lower, Due Partly
to Decreased Prices

WASHINGTON. May 7.-Measured in
values of merchandise imported and
exported as compared with those Of a
year ago, trade conditions in practi-
cally all sections of the commercial
world show a decline, according to a re-
port Of the bureau of statistics issued
today.
This fall in the values of the i'm
ports and exports of the principal coun-
tries of the world says the report,
probably is due in part to lower
prices of the principal articles form
ing commerce.
while it cannot, of course. be said
that 1909 prices are lower in every
article than those of 1908. the figures
indicate lower prices in foreign coun-
tries in many of the principal articles
forming our own import trade and also
fall in price of certain important ar
tieles of our own import trade"
Among the principal articles of our
export from the United States raw
cotton shows a decrease from il cents
a pound in March. 1908, to 9.5 cents a
pound in March. 1909. and sharp de-
clines i'm steel rails, pig iron. cotton

MACHINERY DEALERS
SEEK MANDATE WRIT
WANT CIVIL SERVICE TO TRY
IF. C0NNELL
Hold City Attorney Is Wrong in De-
cision That Council Is the Only
Body Having Juris-
diction

Claiming the city attorney is wrong
in his contention that the civil service
commission has no jurisdiction over
the board of examining engineers, a
number of machinery houses yesterday
asked the court for writ of mandate
to compel the civil service commission
to hear charges against ]. f. Connell
a member of the board.
Charges were filed with the civil SER
vice commission April 6, in which the
complaining machinery dealers made
accusations against Connell. They
claimed that as a member of the exam
lining board before which every appli-
cant for an engineers license must be
tried, he used his influence to sell ma-
chinery for which he was agent. 1t is
alleged that Connell is unfair in his eX-
aminations and refuses to grant first
class licenses because he does not want
too much competition in his business.
He holds a first class engineers GER
tifcate himself and acts as engineer
of a number of office buildings, hiring
second class engineers to do the work.
Before formal charges were filed the
civil service commission had concluded
to investigate Connell. but when the
machinery men took action the COM
mission asked the city attorney con-
cerning its powers in the case. The
city attorney ruled that the council was
the only DOuy having JURISDICTION over
the board of engineers.
The commission reported the~case to
the council and asked that some action
be taken. AS Connell is politically val
liable to several members of the coun-
ell nothing definitely was done. Action
on the report was delayed
Fearing the council will not give the
matter the attention that the commits
sion would the machinery men want the
commission to handle the case. The
application for mandamus will be heard
by Judge Wilbur May Ia.

GOOD GOVERNMENT IS
KEYNOTE OF ELECTION
When Campaign Begins in Fall Gen.
traI Body viii Be Selected to
Direct Efforts to Aid
Los Angeles

When the municipal campaign opens
next fall good government clubs will
have been organized in many precincts
and wards with a central body to direct
their efforts. The men behind the move
ment to have good government club,
with numerous precinct organizations,
are very much in earnest in their ef-
forts to secure for Los Angeles a dol
lars worth of government for every
dollar spent, and the meeting held in
the office of Marshall Stimson Thurs
day afternoon, when the directors elect
ed officers and effected a permanent
organization of the Good Government
club, voiced this sentiment.
S. c. Graham, over his own protest,
