GOES SIGHTSEEING
IN WASHINGTON

Raymond Reese, who is attend
ing military academy at Staunton,
Virginia, spent his Erster vacation
sightseeing at Washington, d. c.,
in company with several of his
schools mates. From a letter writ
ten to his parents here, telling of
his trip, we publish the following
extracts:
Saturday all day we just walked;
went all over the city to get our
bearings SO we would not get lost
The city is totally different from
any other have ever seen and it Is
also the most beautiful. The streets
are very vide and clean. Pcnnsyl-
vania Avenue is about as wide as
from our store to the Examiner of.
fee and the sidewalks are 80 feet
wide. The thing that impressed me
most was the cleanliness and the
white marble buildings. There are
small round parks at the intersection
of the streets and all of them con.
tain marble statue of some Ameri.
can hero.
"Sunday morning we attended
Easter services al President Tsft's
church. There certainly was a
swell show of Easter hats and gowns
and some mighty pretty girls and
women. In fact / have seen more
pretty girls here than ever before.
Sunday afternoon we took a walk,
through the White House grounds.
Later on we went out to the Zoo,
where every animal in existence is
represented. The Zoo is the popu.
lar promenade of the clty and we
saw some swell costumes. But one
thing that seems funny to me is that
practically all the people here dress
poorly and out of date-that is the
general run of people. You can
always spot senator or congress-
man by his tall silk hat. Even if
he has on q soft collared shit and
bright, red tie, he wears the silk
hat.
"Sunday night we went through
the Congressional library, and |
have not a sufficient vocabulary 10
amply describe It. The building ls
constructed of white marble, with
galleries and galleries of palntings,
Sid documents and letters of famous
hen. l don't know how many books
the library part contains, but they
fill nine story building. The walls
were painted by masters, the sub.
iects being old tirecian and Roman.
yesterday morning we went
through the Medical and National
Museums. The latter contains all
the nations relics and also relics
from every other nation nthe world

SANTA ANA, March S.-A back
yard foray was made on East Walnut

the articles carried off in the raid
were chickens from four different resi-
dences, one bicycle, one bicycle tire,
a blanket from a clothesline, canvas
wagon covers. one sack each of or

Joe" living in the fateful 700 block,
in which most of the petty robberies
occurred.
Perfecto Trujillo, a Mexican, was
discovered this morning making way
with a sack of chickens. and after
wild dash for liberty he was safely
captured through the united efforts of
a bunch of men, boys on bicycles and
youth on horseback. He was finally
turned over to the police and locked in
the county jail. Trujillo claims to
have come down from Los Angeles
yesterday.

Trustee Horan made several asser-

the Eichbaum incinerator contract by
the board, to which Trustee MaKinnon
took exception.
This gentleman is saying something
that isn't so,'' declared Trustee Mac
Kinnon, referring to Trustee Horan,

Trustee Horan.

this information.
"But someone stys, how are you
going to get into the business section
of Los Angeles? How are you going to
cross the streets. Won't they be able
to stop you there?
"I will now recite to you certain facts
and conditions, which l am sure, VIII
appeal to your common sense as well
as to your sense of right and justice.
1 cannot take the time to read to you
the legal opinions in the matter, to-
gether with numerous lengthy and dry
citations but will simply assure you
that this statement of facts and con-
ditions is based upon the opinions of
some of the best legal minds in Cali
fornia. This relates to the question of
franchises and street crossings and
clears away all doubt as to the last
point at which, it has seemed to some
possible opposition might delay the
construction of this road"
Mr. Dobbins then dwelt at length on
the legal phases which the company
has overcome and the benefits to ac-
crue to Pasadena and Los Angeles. He
said:

Rapid Transit company to give to
Pasadena that relation to the business
centers of Los Angeles that once was
hers that is hers today. 1t is the pur-
pose of this railroad to make Pasadena
absolutely the very closest residence

city in that relation for all time

all standing during the rendition of the

brought applause was the rendition of
"Forty-fve Minutes from Broadway

make the trip from Pasadena as

promised by the new line. Miss Flor

CROWDS TO BATH HOUSE

Of a sensation was created here this
morning when Seere Nord, famous div

ment at a Los Angeles theater, ap-
peared at the local bathhouse to prac-
tice diving and swimming. The an
nouncement of her coming was fol-
lowed by the filling of the bathhouse
gallery with one of the largest crowds
in it's history, all curious to get
view of the pretty German girl who
goes through her performance in
black silk skin-tight bathing suit,
minus all skirts and ruftles.
Practically the entire population of
the business section of this city
turned out to see the diver. Business
men. many Of them of no tender age.
neglected their affairs for a time in
order to watch the maneuVers of the
pretty expert. Judging from the whs-
pers heard among the crowd, it wasn't
alone the skill exhibited in leaping
from lofty places into the big salt
water plunge that attracted so many
men, but the costume worn by the
young woman had considerable to do
with it.

CLAIMS CITY TRUSTEES
PLAYED POLITICAL TRICK

OCEAN PARK, March 8.-Following
the abrogation by the city board of
trustees of its contract with him as
operator of the municipal incinerator.
II. w. Eichbaum has made a demand
that the question be arbitrated. AS
this course is provided for in the con-
tract, the board can do nothing else
than grant the demand, and a COM
mttee of three will be named to take
evidence in the case.
At a recent meeting the board of
trustees by resolution declared the
work of Eichbaum unsatisfactory and
considered that fact sufficient cause
for annulling the contract, which pays
Eichbaum $3.50 a month. At the time
the action was taken politics was said
to be one of the motives that prompted
the board. When Eichbaum made his
demand for an arbitration of the ques-
tion he directly charged that his dis
missal was a political move. This
charge is fatty denied by the trustees.
