APPROVES OF THE HERALD'S
EDITORIALS ON DESTINY

Los s ANGELES, June 4-[Editor
Herald: In your editorials of June 2
and June headed "Oligarchy'' and
Destiny and DOOM" respectively. the
median line of direction and force
has been found and followedI to a
nicely; anything less bold would
trend to the milk and water variety
and mean nothing; anything more bold
would be a little too creamy for pres
emit conditions and mean too much:
to keep a continual hammering along
these lines will appeal to the best that
is in us and at the same time give
room to read and think between the
lines. We also notice that 300 words
is limit for the "staff'' as well as
the Letter Box. This leaves something
to be said in the next and succeeding
issues, and is a wee bit canny, too; the
wielder of trenchant pen is mightier
than the trusts in these days of ex-
posed graft and dishonesty in high
places, and no greater opportunity for
best results has been offered than the
present to have it welded rightly and
Justly. V. p. MARSWAY.

has been very costly to Mr. Lummis
in the past and possibly may prove SO
in the present case.
1t will be remembered that after
having supplanted Miss Mary Jones as
librarian he stated in his magazine he
had taken the job because 1t was a
mans job"
This studied insult to the brainy
woman whose place he had taken and
to the women of the Friday Morning
club who sought to protect Miss Jones
will never be forgotten.
He now characterizes the proposed
investigation of library affairs by the
mayor, the auditor and the president
Of the council as flea bites
Flea bites? We shall see.
It is obvious that Mr.. Lummis fails
to appreciate the gravity of the situa-
ton which confronts him. 1t is not
Miss Blandy who is on trial. 1t is the
| librarian and a part of the library
board who are now to pass under the
rod"
Mr. Lummis ruins his own cause
when he states: Miss Blandy Is an
Importation of my own. I fought her
past the civil service commission, the
board and the staff. She never before
held an important library position. 1
have her record from herself and her
employers
Knowing Miss Blandy had ''never
before held ain important library posi-
ton" he fought her past all obstacles,
forced her appointment over the heads
of thoroughly competent library
staff, and now insults our intelligence
by proelaiming he had knowledge of
her inexperience at the very time when
he was forcing her appointment.
He had her record from herself and
her employers" and having this inside
information he foisted her on to this
community and placed her in a posi-
ton where ability of the highest order
is required.
If the statement made by Mr.. Lum-
mis- is true he should be removed. If
it is false he should be removed. In
either case he has condemned himself.

SCHOOL BONDS BRING
PROFITABLE PREMIUM
HOLLYWOOD SECURES BONUS
OF MORE THAN S40O
Advance on Securities with Face Value
of $4,000 Is Not as Large
as Had Been Antici-
pated
[special to The Herald.l

HOLLYWOOD, June THE sale of
the school bonds for the Hollywood
Union high school, which took place at
the county court house in Los Angeles
this afternoon, was watched with great
interest by the citizens of Hollywood.
Although the premium is not as large
as was anticipated, the sale was salts
factory.
For the bonds of $4,000 the board of
trustees hoped to receive at least $500
premium, but received $411.50 from
Adams & Co, the successful bidder.
John Law of the First National bank
of this city was the next highest bidder.
The bonds were issued for the pur-
pose of purchasing tract of land ad-
Joining the present school site which
contains six and one-fourth acres. The
land is necessary for the growth of the
school, but 1t will not be possible to
erect a building to accommodate tho
pupils next year. This is the condition
that is puzzling the board at the pres
ent time.
With 1926 students in the high school,
the accommodations are crowded to
the limit and it is impossible to care
for more under present conditions The
graduating class this year numbers
thirty-three, but 1t is anticipated there
will be more than $50 freshmen enter
the school next fall from the several
school districts which compose the
union district. Larger accommodations
are Imperative, but the board feels con-
fident way of adjusting affairs by the
procuring of additional room near the
school building will be found before the
beginning of the coming school year.
On top of the present problem it was
suggested by one or more of the school
districts that a class of pupils be al
lowed to enter the high school next
February from the grammar school,
which would complicate the matter
more and more each year until larger
building is built This the board took
under consideration, but at the meet
ing last Saturday afternoon 1t was
agreed no freshman class be received
except in September. 1t was shown
that to admit classes in February will
neeessitate the employment of two ex-
ira teachers, and with the present
crowded condition of the school the
board did not see fit to go to the addi-
tional EXPENSE

MANY ZIONISTS OPPOSE
MES0P0TAMIAN PROJECT
Plan to Irrieate Proposed Mecca of
Hebrew Race Not Popular. \
with Editor

NEW YORK, June 7.-Considerable
opposition is developing to Israel Gang
will and his project under which Jews
are to make a contract to irrigate
Mesopotamia at a cost of $40,000,00O
and to receive in turn from Turkey
the right of colonization of the land
and finally establish a state there.
1t Is expected this opposition will
strongly manifest itself at the coming
Zionist convention which will open
here with 500 delegates from all parts
of the United States next Sunday.
An article by Louis Lipsky, editor of
the Maeoabean, the official organ of
the Zionists, takes Zangwill to task for
his attitude, declaring that Zangwill
as the head of the Jewish Territorial
association, desires to establish ma
ton in Mesopotamia.
Editor Lipsky writes that the Zion
lists one idea is to establish a Jewish
state in Palestine only. The article
says zangwill ignores the Zionists.

DECEPTIVE COUNTERFEIT

Detectives Endeavor to Trace Clever
Imitation of $40 National
Bank Bill

WASHINGTON, June IA deceptive
counterfeit $40 national bank note
bearing the portrait of William Nc
Kinley has been discovered, and the
secret service is endeavoring to trace
it's origin. The counterfeit is regarded
by the officials as exceptionally clever.

National bank of New York city, of the
series of 1902 and apparently is printed
from Autograph plates on two pieces of
paper between which silk threads have
been distributed.
The numbering is poor, the figures
being irregular in size and alignment,
but the pink seal is excellent, both as
TO color and workmanship.

ASKS AID OF GOVERNMENT
TO MAKE HONDURAS SETTLE
Citizen of Illinois Claims to Have Ass
sisted Central American Republic
by Expenditures

WASHINGTON, June THE state
department has been asked by Alfredo
Moissant, a citizen of Illinois, but for
years a resident of Central America,
to press his claim for $4,000 against
the government of Honduras. Secre-
tary of State Knox has taken no ac-
ton in the matter.
According to Moissant, he was
granted a banking concession in Hon
duras by the executive. Although the
laws of the republic provide that con-
gress must approve concessions before
/ they become effective, provision IS
said to have been incorporated in the
Moissant concession authorizing the
immediate use of the rights sought 10
be conferred by the instrument.
Taking this as his authority, Mois-
SAINT claims to have gone to New York
and to have incurred much expense
by obtaining engrayings and equipment
to print paper money under the con-
cession. Later the president of Hon
duras announced he would not submit
the concession to congress. Moissant
seeks to convince the state department
that the president was compelled un-
der the constitution to- submit the con-
cession to congress.
Moissant is alleged to have furnished
financial aid to the resent officials OF
Honduras about the timeeo the last
revolution in that country.
