PUBLICITY HUNTER M'HARo

our old acquaintance, Ormsby Nc.
Harg, who is now assistant secretary
Of the department of N aud
labor, has rushed into the public lime.
light again, voicing n violent criticism
against the forestry department. II
is worthy Of notice that ever In his
new and high position this gentleman
cannot throw of his old desire for
publicity and his erroneous methods Of
some little experience with Mr.. McIIarg
when he was out here un%carthing what
he was pleased 20 call facts, and
what everybody else termed "'idiotic
notions" lie was always prone to 20
of half.cocked, and this tendency
brought him the sobriquct Of publ.
city hunter" Since leaving New
Mckee he has not improved.
Mr.. McIlarg says 4" the forest ser
vice has been put in possession Of
facts and figures proving the truth Of
what | say, aud it has failed TO make
them public" This is the old story.
lie always "a long on statements
and short on facts. And he always
knew more about the other fellow :
business than the other fellow did.
lie unearthed piles aud piles Of sean.
dal in this territory, stirred the peo
pie up and even got n good part of
the United States to think that New
Mexico was but a synonym of vale
ness and corruption. But when II
came 10 proving what he had charged
this ambitious gentleman could not dc.
liver the goods. He turned out
to be q huge, though somewhat dan.
gerous joke. Now be is back at his
old tricks; making charges that he
cannot substantiate.
In simple justice we must say, how,
ever, that on occasions our subject
shows some slight glimmerings Of
sense. In his forestry interview he
says, "Leave the west alone. Let IL
20 ahead and develop. Let the red
blooded men out to do the work. And
here we add, shut up all the publicity
hunters like MeHarg and keep them
away from this part Of the country.
We can do without their presence, and
above all we can manage to get along
without their efforts In our behalf.

There are two processes for bleaching.

Northwest agreed To stop four bleach.

COMPANY PLACES TRACK
LEVEL WITH THE STREET

OCEAN PARK, June ga gang of
men are busily engaged in placing the
track of the Los Angeles-Pacif1c COM
pany on Eorell avenue to level with
the grade established by the city engi-
neer.
This action came as complete sur
prise after more or less stormy ses-
sion of the board of trustees at the
city hall last evening when the subject
was discussed. r. A. Phillips, presi-
dent of the Merchants of Venice, re-
quested that the board take action to
have the track either lowered or re-
moved.
On motion of Trustee, Mayer, and
seconded by Trustee Griffith, a resolu-
tion was passed ordering the street
superintendent to remove the track
After recess, Trustee Griffith moved
that the matter be reconsidered, which
was done, and the resolution replaced
by another requesting the company to
act at once in the matter.
Much to the surprise of the citizens
of the south end, gang of tracklayers
went to work this morning and by
night had the work well under way.
This action closes a controversy that
has been drawn out for several years,

ELKS' COMMITTEE WISHES
STREETS CLEAR OF TEAMS

The executive committee of the Elks
asked a regulation of the police COM
mission last night that Acting Chief
Bradish declared was almost impossible
of accomplishment. That is to keep
Main, Spring and Broadway and all
the side streets between First and
Seventh clear of all vehicles between
$3.50 o'clock and noon July Is and 16.
These are the dates of the big Elks'
parade, when it is expected $4,000 peo-
pie will be in line, and the Elks' COM
mittee believes that If the autos and
other vehicles are kept out of the
parade district there will be less likeli-
hood of accidents.
Acting Chief Bradish said he would
be willing to undertake the job and
would like to see it done, but he feared
1t was beyond the powers of the united
police force to keep all the side sGeets
clear The main thoroughfares will be
cleared, but the acting chief expects
auto parties will fill up the side streets
as early as o'clock in the morning.
Some of these parties, the chief says,
will leave their autos and seek points
of vantage from which to view the
parade. To get these autos out of the
way the police will have to drive them
to some point outside the district, and
'how to handle an auto" is not one
of the things a policeman is required
to know.
The matter will come up before the
commission next week for further dis
cussion.

GLENDALE VOTES FOR
MUNICIPAL LIGHTING
Wires, Poles and Distributing Poles to
Be Installed by the Town-Cam-
paign Waxed Warm In
Closing Hours

BY a vote of $50 to 7S the citizens of
Glendale voted bonds yesterday for the
installation of municipal electric
lighting system. The voting of the
bonds aroused bitter opposition on the
part of private interests involved, and
the sweeping victory caused general re-
joicing in Glendale last night.
Wires and poles will be installed, with
distributing plant and facilities for
supplying 450 consumers. The plant
will be designed to cover thirty-one
miles of streets, and eighteen arc lamps
will be installed.
Bitter personal warfare developed
during the closing days of the cam
paign, and as a result action may be
begun for slander against a numberfof
the leading citizens of the suburb.
Circulars were distributed yesterday
charging E. w. Mcclure with using
the names of citizens without authority
on circular which he distributed oppos-
ing the bonds, and declaring him to be
unworthy of confidence. Mcclure de-
clared last evening that he would begin
criminal acation against the thirty-one
men whose names are signed to the
folders.

POLYTECHNIC ALUMNI
BANQUET AT LEWIS
Feast Is Given in Compliment to Prin-
cipaI Francis, Who Gave an
Address Entitled "Just
Talk"

Polytechnic alumni a hundred strong
banqueted at Levy's yesterday evening.
Every class that has graduated from
the school was we'll represented. The
banquet was complimentary to Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. H. Francis, Mr.. Francis, prin-
cipal of the school, addressing the COM
pany with Just a Talk"
He spoke of the strides taken by the
school since it's founding, of the many
different branches of study which had
been so successfully undertaken, and
particularly of the Industrial branches
The students of the manual training
and forging departments have accom-
plished wonderful results. In fact so
much favorable comment has been eX-
cited by the work of the students that
1t was thought advisable to display part
of it at the Alaska Y Yukon-Pacitic eX-
position, and tables, chairs and many
intricate patterns consequently grace
the interior of the California building
at Seattle.
Glass government is another feature
to have successfully operated by the
institution. Every detail of the man
agement of the entire school is looked
after by the students who also govern
themselves, the same being considered
no small accomplishment in a school
with the enrolment of Polytechnic.
Don NJ Rayburn replied to the
toast, "The Advantages of a University
CouI se," showing the serious handicap
under which a man labors who is not
equipped with a college training and
making a strong plea for all of the
graduates of Polytechnic to enter some
good university.
Miss Dora Goldring gave brief talk
on 1.-THE Girl Graduate" outlining her
advantages over her less fortunate sis
ter and comparing the advantages of
the girls or finishing school as COM
pared with a college where coeducation
holds sway.
"Some of the Boys" contributed sew
eral vocal selections which were en-
Enthusiastically received by an apprecl-
tive audience. Pale in the Amber
West" and Dat Water Melon" were
among the selections afforded by them,
Frank Lilliard, B. F. Hopkins and
Grace Sutherland had the banquet and

PENNSYLVANIA STATE
SOCIETY ENTERTAINS
Keystone Residents Hold JolIification
Meeting at AIhambra
Hall

Nearly a hundred members of the
Pennsylvania State society met last
evening in Alhambra hall at the Fra
ternal Brotherhood building. A mu-
sical program was enjoyed by those
present, prepared under the supervision
of Mrs. e. E. Overholtzer.
The La Crescenta Mandolin club, of
which Mrs. c. D. Buss is director,
played several selections. The feature
of the program was a piano solo by
Mona Newkirk, a 12-year-old pupil of
Prof. Won Stein. Miss Newkirk is con-
sidered a phenomenon in local musical
circles and has been highly recon-
mended for her expression in playing
classical selections.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. V. Baker, the blind
singers, also contributed several songs,
the program being concluded with a
social dance.
The officers of the society are: X. B.
Craig, president; Mrs. Z. e. Overholt-
zer, vice president, and Mrs. Carrie V.
Sheriff, secretary.
