WILL NOT OBJECT TO
NEW MEMBERS
WATER COMMISSIONERS TALK
OVER QUESTION or THEIR
SUCCESSORS.

4
All the meeting of The water COM
mission yesterday afternoon the mem
bers discussed d, length the question
81 the provision of the city charter
which demands payment of s2s iff
taxesg to The city eas a condition pre-
cedent to election to membership in
that body
II was apparently decided. though
III al informal way, that events will
be permitted 10 take their course The
right 81 any Of those elected to take
their seats will not be contested by
any Of The. present holders Of Office.
This was agreed TO be the wisest ami
best course for several reasons, the
principal one being that At all events
five Of the incoming members are UNI
questionably entitled to take their
seats and they constitute a majority.
The laws provide that the members
of the commission shall hold their Of
Ihces until their successors are elect
ed and qualified" and the question
arose because Of the presumed IN
ability Of several Of the gentlemen re-
Gently elected % qualify under the
provision Of the city charter.
1t was pointed out that these FIVE
can readily qualify, no matter how the
charter may be construed: |. Berg.
man, J. w. WEIGH, r. A. Fisher, Gust
Holmes, J. Z. Ferguson That is,
they all pay more than SIS in city
taxes.
| II was also suggested that there
might possibly be question about
the ability of A. Brix, Frank Kank-
konen, Peter Gimre, and Sofus Jen-
sen to qualify (no matter il il be
true that they pay much more than
the sum called for in the total Of
their taxes). Apparently Mr. Brix is
| the only one Of these four who can
Iqualify under the Interpretation 81
1.-THE charter made BY the city attorney,
who included both city and school
taxes II is said the other three may
have difficulty in qualifying, and IN
all sides there has been heard much
comment and animadversion Of the
charter provision. Under the provis-
ion, as It is being interpreted, man
might. own a fortune in bank, cannery
or other local bonds, or might be a
rich man most Of whose property is
not within the city limits, or might be
one Of the ablest and best men in
the city and yet because comparative
ly poor, would be shut out from hold
ing office on the commission because
Of these facts.
Another interesting matter has been
much discussd among few Of the
commissioners. They have apparent
" not been satisfied with the initiative
Legislation which took away their life
tenures of office. There has been some
talk of testing this in court.
The commission met yesterday for
the purpose Of auditing the accounts
of the past month The bills amount
ed to S3ss5o and the pay roll to
1904. The resignation Of Frank Crang
as inspector was read and accepted.
Mr.. Crang is going with the Union

ing of the old commission.

LIST OF STATES AIDING
EARTHQUAKES VICTIMS

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sin order to
inform the public exactly what Ameri-
cans have thus far done through the
Red Cross society, Miss Mabel Board
man, secretary, issued today an official
statement announcing that the total
amount of subscriptions for italian
relief so far credited and received
through the Red Cross was more than
$500, 900. This includes today's con-
tributions of $136,779. The statement
adds:
1.-The expense incurred in the charter,
freighting and use of a large steamship
contracted for by the American am
American Red Cross, and remittances
have been made to cover the expense
thereof.
"Bayard Cutting, jr., one Of the con-
Sular officers of the United States in
Italy, and who is personally familiar
with the devastated region, is acting
for and is the agent of the American
Red Cross. He is supplied with the
necessary funds so that personal as
siStance may be extended at his dis
erection to Americans who have been
overwhelmed by the disaster.
contributions are still coming in
rapidly, and it seems to be evident that
the collections through the Red Cross
will reach 5000 00"

BOXING EXHIBITION
MUST BE POSTPONED
VAN COURTS PUPILS WILL
CONTEST IN MARCH
Long List of Existing Champions and
Promising Candidates for Pugi-
Iistic Laurels Entered for
Meeting

Owing to the many events which
crowd the calendar Of the LOS An
geles Athletic club for February the
boxing exhibition by the pupils of De-
Witt G. Van Court will be postponed
until the first part of March.
Professor Van Court is the most
successful instructor of amateur box
ers on this coast. His men make rec
Ords in every meeting in which they
participate, and several Of his pupils
hold amateur championships Of South
ern California. He perhaps has deVel-
oped more champions than any other
instructor of the art in this country.
The members of the club who are to
participate in the next exhibition are
now engaged in preparation for the
event. A number of them meet with
Professor Van Court every noon for
light training, and others work at
night. The coming event undoubtedly
will surpass anything in it's line ever
seen at the Los Angeles Athletic club.
Among those who will participate in
the next exhibition are Cliff Reuman,
winner OF the amateur middleweight
championship of the coast; Clark
Jorgstorff, amateur heavyweight cham
pion Of Southern California; r. J. Lee
lande, welterweight; Walla Wheeler
and Sam Coulter, lightweights; all
amateur champions in their respective
classes. All these men are members of
the Los Angeles Athletic club. Several
other likely candidates for champion
ship honors are also in training, and a
large and lively card will be presented
to the members of the club at the
coming exhibition.
