Makes an Address at the Chapel Of
the Westminster Church on
the Customs and Life
Of India.
MANY FAKE ORATORS
Honest Heartfelt Interest and Not
Money is What is Needed
to Better Conditions
in India.


Last evening at the chapel OF the
Westminster Presbyterian church,
Miss Eva NJ. Clarke. native of In
dia. who has just been in the United
States for the past two and one-half
years made most interesting adj
dress to good sized audience that
was on hand to hear what she had to
say on conditions in India. w. j.
Fulton introduced the speaker, saying
that she should prove of especial in
terest owing to the fact that she was a
friend OF DR.. Lucas, the representative
missionary Of their church in India.
Miss Clarke was dressed as she ex-
planned, not after the fashion of the
common women Of India, but OF those
Of the highest social standing. Her
apparel consisted of a yellow silk
skirt and long head covering of the
same material and color. Sac wore a
red waist trimmed in black and a
black belt together with a few beads
on her head. The difference between
this dress and that Of the ordinary
women is that the later is made after
the same fashion, but tie material il
in most cases, rags.

Miss Clark speaks very fine English
and is very entertaining. AS she said
in starting out, she is not a full

English woman. All her life she has
had special opportunities for study,
aer father having held high govern
ment position. For a while she was an
instructor in what is now known as

India, but was inspired to do mission

Degraded Condition.

The speaker emphasized particularly
the fact that the people of tlis coun-
try do not realize the degraded condf-
ton Of the inhabitants OF India. Wag-
es among the low classes, which com
prise by far the major portion OF the
population range from about three to
ten cents a day, and for this reason
when famine strikes the land. which
is about every year, the poor people,
having had no chance to save any
thing from their meagre income are in
dire distress. She went on to give
some vivid descriptions. putting be-
fore her listeners word picture Of a
mother gathering grass seed for the
family breakfast; OF children eating
bits OF soft wood and mud. and lastly
OF a particular case where a mother
with young child, deserted by her
husband. becoming crazed with hun
ger, built fire and attempted to
roast her caild for food. This last she
said was not an unusual case, innum-
cradle others being too horrible to
mention.

IN Favor Of Change.

Captain ]. r. Daugherty had to say
regarding the commission plan of gov
eminent. Il am in favor OF
a change Of the city govern
ment and believe that the COM
mission plan should be given trial.
One reason for change from the
present system is, that the commits
sioners elected are at the call OF the
citizens and the men who look after
the city government are directly in
touch with the affairs of the city and
are able to correct those things that
the needful OF change. Every system
of government has its advantages and
disadvantages and some forms OF gov
eminent may in time become vicious
by investing too much power in one
man. However / believe the COM
mission plan of government is the one
for the good OF the city.

OTHERS WHO

Prominent Business Men Still Con

PLANS ECONOMIC VALUE
This is What Seems to Appeal Most
to Those Who Have Been
Approached Regarding
Government.

Business men and citizens still con-
tinue to speak in favor of the como
mission plan OF government which has
made a favorable impression in the
minds of all voters who wish for a
change and betterment of the city
government.
1t will be noticed although every one
OF those approached for their opin-
ions regarding the plan, conceded that
the commission plan of government
has many good features but the one
feature which appeals strongest to
those who are interested. is the
economic value of the plan.
Captain A. H. Evans expressed his
sentiments regarding the commission
plan of government in the following
manner this morning:
Il favor the plan because 1t affords
a splendid opportunity for applying
business methods in the administra-
ton of public affairs. The constituent
cy OF the commissioners being cock
tensiye with the city they are held ac-
countable for their acts as they affect
the city as whole subject to recall
II their acts are not satisfactory.
1t should eliminate politics from the

to be desired.

BIG SHAKE-UP FEARED
IN HEALTH Department
Impending Changes Not Expected to
Affect the Position of DR..
Powers

A big shake-up in the health depart
ment is expected soon. The new health
board appears to disapprove the &C
lions of some of the members of the
sanitary staff, and the citation of In
spector Flammer to appear before the
board at it's next regular meeting is be-
lieved to be only the first gun fired in
a cleanup campaign.
1t is almost certain that whatever
else happens, Dr. L. NJ Powers, health
officer, will retain his position. Mayor
Alexander is one of DR.. Powers warm
est supporters, and before he had any
appointments to the board of health he
made sure that his appointees felt as
he did toward DR.. Powers.
The shake-up, If it comes, is not ex-
pected to reach as high as any of the
physicians in the city's employ, but all
other members of the department are
wearing anxious faces. To remove any
of them would require a trial before the
civil service board, but 1t is believed
that plenty of charges can be brought
and substantiated.

MAY BE VACANCY IN CIVIL
SERVICE COMMISSION
D. n. Laubershelmer Is Thought to
Have Resigned-Mayor Alex
ander Noncommlttal

Has D. H. Laubersheimer resigned
from the civil service commission
This question was asked of both Mr.
Laubersheimer and Mayor Alexander
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Laubers-
heimer himself denied that he had re-
signed, but made the admission in a
half jocose manner that left the queS-
toner undecided. Mayor Alexander
only laughed when the question was
put to him and gave his usual char
acteristic answer when the nail has
been hit on the head and he does not
wish to admit it.
"If anyone asks you that, tell them
you don't know" he said. This answer
was accompanied by one of Uncle
Georges winks, that usually speak
volumes.
1t is we'll known that the mayor has
sighed for vacancy on the civil serv-
ice commission and that he would have
no objections if all the members of this
board would resign. Not that he has
anything personal against any of them
in some of his own men. Members oil
this commission are appointed fol-
each change of administration, as the
police, fire, park and health boards do
This board is supposed to be as far
removed from politics as it is possible
for an appointive body to be.
The rumor of Mr. Laubersheimers
resignation was based on the fact that
he visited the mayor in his office yes
terday for the first time since the new
administration was inaugurated AND
spent nearly half an hour closeted
with the mayor.

SAY MEAT INSPECTOR
GUILTY OF NEGLIGENCE
MUST ANSWER CHARGES OF
BOARD OF HEALTH
Believed Public Official Passed Tuber-

is Interested

A slap at the Southwestern Packing
company, and incidentally one at for
mer Mayor Harper who is one of the
chief stockholders of this company, was
taken by the new board of health yes
terday, when Meat Inspector Flammer
was ordered to appear before the board
at it's next session and show why he
should not be punished for neglect of
duty. Until his case is decided Inspector
Flammer will be suspended.
Neglect of duty was the broad charge
registered again Flammer, and none of
the members of the health department
would discuss what the specific neglect
of duty was. DR. Sherwin Gibbons alb
solutely refused to say anything about
it at ALL intimating it was no ones
business but the health departments,
despite the fact that the public has
some interest in knowing whether or
not the servants it pays are passing
tubercular meat.
DR.. Chambers tacitly admitted that
the inspector had shut his eyes when
steers afflicted with tuberculosis were
slaughtered and made into packing
products at the Southwestern company S

ORDERED TO STOP LAYING
THIRD RAIL ON HILL STREET
Los AngeIes-Paciflc Must Take Poles
and Other Equipment from
Sixteenth Street

The board of public works yesterday
ordered the Los Angeles-Pacific rail-
way to stop laying third rail on Hill
street, between First and Third streets
until the city engineer had given the
elevation for the rails.
The original rails were laid on this
street after the street had been paved
and in such a way that because of the
excessive cross-slope the rails are UNI
slightly and dangerous to public traffic
The city engineer declared that much
reconstruction would have to be done
on this street soon, and that it should
be done now.
This railway was also ordered to
take its poles, wires, curbs and cattle
bars off of what was formerly its own
right of way on Sixteenth street, but
which has since been acquired by the
city for the opening and widening OF
the street. The railway received $4,000
continued to maintain it as a private
right of way.

BAKERS CALLED TO APPEAR
BEFORE BOARD OF HEALTH

Twenty-Five bakers were notified to
appear before the board of health next
Wednesday night and show cause why
their permits to conduct bakeries
should not be revoked. This action is
taken because the permits still remain
in the Office of the health department
and never have been taken up by the
persons to whom they have been is
sued.
The ordinance requires that permit
must be taken up within ten days after
1t is granted. Many applicants appear
to think that the mere granting of the
permit is sufficient, and that they can
conduct their business without the Off
cial document. The bakery inspector
has notified them this is not the case.
