With the election of thirty new mem

There will be no let up in the efforts

and this includes every one who has
any interest whatever in the advance
ment of Los Angeles and Southern Cal
ifornia. The fact that thirty members

indicates that the work of the mem
bership committee is far from being
concluded. The members elected yes

wrought up over the case, but are at a
loss as to how to proceed to bring about
DR.. Smiths reinstatement.
That Dr. Smith told the truth even II
he did speak strongly In regard to
the treasurer was the opinion OF all
familiar with the case.
The old veterans claim there is sort
of an unwritten law against telling the
truth, especially when the truth Is
detrimental to the officers of the home.
Another feature that was discussed
yesterday was the fact that the gar
dens in which the vegetables eaten at
the home are raised are irrigated by
the sewerage of the home.
That an inspector or pure food law
agent could well devote a few days OF
time at the Soldiers home was the
statement made. Many of the veterans
refuse to eat the vegetables on account
of the sewerage irrigation, and many
claim the milk would not be allowed
sold In any city or town.
IF an inspector was stationed at the
entrance to the home any morning,
said one veteran, land examined the
milk he would not have to go to an eX-
pert to detect whether 1t was up to the
required standard. It's so diluted that 1t
looks like water which had been poured
into a receptacle that had previously
contained milk. Keep up your good
work, for we are reaping at least tenn
porary relief, and don't drop the agita-
ton until everything is righted."
Today the subsistence appropriation
of $167, 900 will be available, and the SOL
diers are awaiting anxiously as to its
expenditure.
Governor Cochrane says affairs will
go along the same as ever, the soldiers
insist they will not, and the outcome
will be interesting.

PROGRAM COMPLETED
FOR FOURTH OF JULY
Mayor Alexander's Committee Ar
ranges for Patriotic Speeches,
Music and Athletics at Rec
reaton Centers of City

AT meeting of the Fourth of July
cimmittee yesterday morning in the
office of Mayor Alexander, final ar
ragnements were made for celebrating
the nations birthday next Monday.
A few changes were made in the pro-
gram at Central park necessary be-
cause of the inability of Mrs. Vaughan
to attend. Miss Maybelle Clarke was
named to sing the Star Spangled
Banner"
At Eastlake park the complete pro-
gram consists of reading the Decrara-
ton of independence by H. o. Wheeler;
recitation by DR.. Ruth Sanderson; tenor
solo, 1.-THE Sword of Bunker HILL" by
Charles Lamb; address by Judge Waldo
M. York; invocation by Rev. Dana w.
Bartlett; address by Edward A. Rea-
gan; 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" by
Miss Violet McMartin.
In addition to the musical and lit
sports will be held consisting of thir-
teen events. These will be races and a
general line of athletic events. There
will also be a prize baby show, the
two handsomest babies to receive a
handbook containing an entry of So.
The last event Is a pie-eating contest
for boys, and the Ninth Ward Improve
ment association, under whose direction
the sports are to be given, has collected
500 in cash TO be given in prizes to win
ners of events.
The celebration at Sycamore grove is
entirely in the hands of the Grand
Army OF the Republic, and the Fourth
of July committee has nothing to do
with it outside of furnishing a band of
music two hours in the day.

WILL OPEN DOORS OF
NEW REVENUE OFFICE
DISTRICT ESTABLISHED AT
LOS ANGELES
Collection of Taxes on Liquors, To.
bacco and Patent Medicine viii
No Longer Be Done for
San Francisco

The United States internal revenue
office of district No. will open its
doors for business this morning at 40
Pacific Electric building. Formerly
the office was branch of the San
Francisco office with rooms in the
Billiard block.
"A new district has been created, Of
which the Los Angeles Office has con-
troll. including the counties of San
Luis Obispo. Los Angeles, Orange.
Santa Barbara, Kern, San Diego Riv-
erside, Imperial, Ventura and San
Bernardino.
The office, which will collect more
than $1,000,000 annually, is in charge
of Claude 1. Parker, the position being
the last appointment made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The collection of the taxes on wines,
liquors, tobaccos, oleomargarine and
patent medicines will constitute the
duties of the office. The creation of
the office was for the protection of
the wine industry in Southern Cali
fornia. Formerly 1t was difficult to
procure sufficient gaugers from San
Francisco and frequently large guam
titles of sweet wines were ruined by
an enforced wait, sometimes for sew
eral weeks Tt is believed that the
creation of the new office will greatly
facilitate the handling of California's
internal revenues.
The transfer of the office is in
charge of Revenue Agent B. NJ. Thorn
as of San Francisco. Licenses will be
issued as usual. although suspended
for the past week owing to the con-
fusion caused by the transferring of
the office. On the completion of the
new federal building at Temple and
Spring streets the Southern California
revenue office will be given suitable
quarters in that building.
