BOARD IN FAVOR
OF NEW SCHOOL
URGES ITS ESTABLISHMENT
ON OLIVE STREET
dents About to Finish in Eighth
Grade-Recommend for
Appointment

Subjects of much interest were taken
up by the board of education at the
regular meeting last night, one of the
most important being a recommends
ton for the establishment of a new
high school. The plan proposed by the
board is to convert the Olive street
school into new and Independent in
stitution.
"To provide high school instruction
for all the students who are about to
finish the work of the eighth grade, and
we recommend the organization of an
Independent high school at the Olive
street school, to be known as the Olive
street high school," This is the Ian
guage of the committee on high schools
and its report was adopted.
The teachers committee made severai
recommendations for new positions.
Most important was that of Mrs. S. M.
Dorsey to the position of acting prin-
cipal of the Olive street high school.
Owing to the fact that Mrs. Dorsey
is loath to give up her present posi-
ton as acting principal of the Los An
geles high school the name of DR.. AL
bert E. Wilson was substituted
DR.. Wilson was four years principal
of the Ogden high school, two years
professor of the Agricultural college of
Utah and for the past two years has
been head of the department of mod
ern languages in the Los Angeles high
school.
The report of the superintendent rec
ommends the acceptance of the invi-
tation to place a school exhibit in the
Alaska-Y Yukon exposition at Seattle
this year.
Lincoln's birthday is to be celebrated
in all the schools of the city in an ap-
propriate manner. Numerous speakers

PROPERTY OWNERS GAIN
BY DELAY OF CONTRACT
Bids Which Succeed Those Rejected
by Board of BubIic Works for
Sunset Boulevard Paving
Are Lower

The board of public works yesterday
again opened bids for the paving of
Sunset boulevard, and the figures sub
mitted for the work show the property
owners will gain in money what they
lose in time by the delay in awarding
the contract.
The bids submitted are itemized and
the exact amount of the contract price
cannot be determined until the city
engineer has had time to go over the
figures. 1t appears as though the Pat
tillo Contracting company was the low
est bidder.
The board was forced to reject all
bids because of a snarl which threat
ened to result in a legal action between
the Barber Asphalt company and the
Pattillo Contracting concern. One firm
had bid on paving the street, minus
the right of way of the broad gauge
tracks, and the other had based its fig
ures on the narrow gauge right of way.
Both bidders were within $50 of each
other, and rather than have the work
delayed by litigation the board rejected
all bids and readvertiSed.

Brooklyn avenue car lis of the Pa
clfic Electric line, inbound, in charge
Of Motorman ]. M. Finley and Con-
ductOr w. r. Price, plunged into out
bound train No. 48 of the Southern Pa
cific line at the Macy street crossing
of Alameda street shortly after 6
o'clock last night. Three passengers
VINO were in the street car were pain
fully injured.
The street car was travelling about
twelve miles an hour, and when ap-
preaching the crossing the motorman
applied his brakes, but found that, be-
cause of the slippery condition of the
tracks, they would not catch. The
safety gates at the railroad crossing
haG already been lowered on account
OF the approaching train, but the
street car plunged ahead and broke
through.
The car struck the last coach but
two of the train, and was thrown
backward by the force of the impact
and turned over on it's side.
There were only three passengers in
the car, James McKeOn of the Pascoe
home: Ramon Garcia, laborer, of
2214 Aero street, Glendale, and Carl
Anderson Of 947 Maple avenue.
All were thrown from their seats by
the overturning of the car, and were
badly bruised and shaken up. They
were taken to the receiving hospital,
where it was found that McKeon was
painfully bruised about the head,
shoulders and hips, that Garcia had
received abrasions Of the head and
shoulders and that Anderson was
bruised and cut about the face and
head.
The outbound train was stopped at
once and the train crew came to the
rescue. With the assistance of Motor
man Finley and Conductor Price, who
were not hurt, the injured passengers
were removed to the receiving hospital,
where their injuries were attended to
by Drs. Quint, Wiley and Bonynge.
The street car was much damaged
and a wrecking car had to be sent for
to clear the tracks so that traffic could
be continued.
Car 115 is the hoodoo car of the
Brooklyn avenue line. Twice it has
been in collision with railroad trains
at crossings, and twice it has jumped
tracks at curves and dips and been
wrecked. Each time passengers have
been injured

Saying He Had Tried Previously

Henri Du Bois, tired of life and de-
spondent from long brooding over
problems of life he could not solve,
committed suicide by shooting himself
through the heart in his room at 323

port of the pistol was heard by room

found the lifeless body lying on the

Du Bois had roomed at the place
but a short time. He was Of mOrose

Although the Indian has the name
of being a stole, the grief of a mother

at that place to think otherwise. The

several days later. The mother was 1T

Would Lease Reservoir

In a petition filed with the city CLERK
yesterday, Espie Pellet asks the council
to lease him the old Hazards reservoir
site for farming purposes This site
embraces a number of acres of ricf
land, and is not being put to any prac-
tical use. A number of councilmer
are in favor of the plan, if it can be
legally carried into effect. There is
some doubt as to the legality of a lease
of this land, and if it can be leased
like other water lands it is probably
in sole control of the water board.

senator Borah and Local option.


Last Sunday while the editor was
returning from his trip east, he had
the pleasure of an interview with
Senator Borah, who was likewise re-
turning from Wyoming. The news
had reached us that all the counties
that voted on the local option ques-
ton had gone dry except Ada. The
senator then expressed it as his opin-
ion that the next legislature would
enact a statewide prohibition law
He believed the majority of the coun-
ties would abolish the saloons and
they would not stand to have a few
counties go wet. The senator is an
ardent believer in prohibition, but
not by counties. He believes that the
state should be the unit. He says
that the labor question will not be
solved until the saloon is put out of
business. He says many men who
drink heavily will vote dry as a mat
ter of self-proteetion. They can't re-
sist the temptation to drink.-Albion
Nugget.
