TESTING FIRE CLAY,
The Most Practical Method Is to LN.
 orally Eat It.

Fire clay has been in use for cen. turies, and vet believe the industry is one which lacks definite laws more than any other, including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence You can go to a manufacturer of steel and specify what you want by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod uct by chemical analysis or mechanical tests and thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to combine ln order to get a result at least very closely approaching what you call for, but not so ill the fire clay business. In the past the most skilled and highest salaried chemists have been employed to make tests, to promote and carry through Investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated articles derived therefrom. The result has been, generally speaking. confusion worse confounded. Two professors.
 
 clay obtained from the same source and manufactured under exactly equal conditions, have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions. The same scien- lists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, so can you wonder if promi- nent fire clay manufacturer should ex- claim. as 1 heard one on an occasion after having the above experience. All tests of fire clay are empirical, and l would sooner trust our superintend- ent to pick and select his clays in the old fashioned way than pay high fee for d highbrows recommendations? The chief method of testing fire clay by practical man is literally to eat 1t. He can detect grit and sand best by that method, and good fire clay (free from silica, quartzite or flint clay is free from grit. His only other personal test is by eHperiment.-En gineering Magazine

Culinary Mysteries That BewiIdsred

 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blackened, lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpeachable: the next we were grap. bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-un- sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi- geons' eggs and a hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to us, and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice fillers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now came the real substantial meal, where. In every dish had an accompaniment ot smaller ones, containing gravies. etc., in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt. roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs There was grilled fresh water fish. which, according to custom. was helped from the top side only. for the Chinese remembers his servant. And, finally, at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
 After some three hours, with feel ing of thankfulness that all was over pipes. cigarettes and tea were served. and it seemed to me that the delicious aroma which rose from the latter soothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had been growing on us for all things Chinese Mary Moore in London Express.

WATER COMMISSION is
CALLED TO ACCOUNT
Chairman of Finance Committee Asks
Whether Money Couldn't
Be Better Spent

Hos the water commission any legal
authority under the charter to spend
100000 from the city's water revenue
for a lot and a like amount for a
building?
This is the question the council yes
terday asked the city attorney to an
swer at its next meeting, and If the
city attorney finds the water commits
sion has no such power there is likely
to be breach between the council and
the commission. The breach will prob
ably extend to the point of the council
telling the commission to give up the
lot it recently purchased at Sixth and
Olive streets and it's plans for a mag
nificent building, and turn over the
$500, 900 it proposes to spend in this way
into the owens river bond fund.
Should the commission refuse to do
this, the council can, if it chooses,
silently point to the case of Gen. M.
H. Sherman, who was a member of the
water board, but who was summarily
removed by the united action of the
mayor and the council.
Councilman Washburn, chairman of
the finance committee, believes that as
long as the city is mourning heavy in
debtedness to increase the city's water
supply, the water commission is not
acting in the best taste to spend hum
dreds of thousands of dollars for real
estate that it can get along without;
and acting on this idea, he held a con-
ference with the water commission on
the matter. The commission contended
| it is spending its own money as it had
right to do, but Mr.. Washburn did
not consider this right was very pro-
nounced, and yesterday reported to the
council that this money might be bet
ter expended in Owens river bonds.

GRANTS ARE UNABLE TO FIND
SURETlES
Couple Accused of Offense in Connec-
tion with Lease Transfer
Given Preliminary
Examination

The preliminary examination of Mar
gle V. Grant and her husband, John
Grant, charged with selling a nom
transferable lease to rooming house
at 1401 Winfield street to Mrs. Ella
Ritchey February 8, was begun before
Justice Summerfield yesterday and af-
ter a hearing of two hours was con-
tinued until 2 o'clock today.
The only witness yesterday was Mrs.
Ritchey who said she purchased the
furniture and lease to the place on
Winfield street known as the Grant
apartments from the Grants February
8, the deal being carried on principally
with Mrs. Grant. Later she was noti-
fed that the property had been leased
to the Grants with the understanding
that the lease could not be transferred.
This provision was contained in the
lease, but, according to Mrs. Ritchey' s
statement, Mrs. Grant told her the
owner of the property, Rev. A. c..
Smither, gave her permission to sell
the lease when an opportunity offered.
Mrs. Ritohey said she paid $500 for
the furniture and lease.
On application of Attorney Paul w.
Schenck, attorney for the Grants, Jus
tice Summerfield reduced the amount
of bond required for their release to
$500 in each case, but they were un-
able to furnish sureties and were re-
turned to the county Jail.

3 APPOINTMENTS
MADE BY MAYOR
COMMISSIONERS SELECTED BY
ALEXANDER CONFIRMED
w. D. Stephens and n. T. Lee Fill
Vacancies on Water Beard, and
G. H. Burton in the Civil
Service Bureau

Three vacancies were filled yesterday
by appointments made by the mayor
and confirmed by the council.
w. d. Stephens and HIajor II. T. Lee
were appointed to the water board. Mr..
Stephens will serve for the unexpired
portion of General Sherman's term and
Major Lee will succeed Jof J. Fay,
whose term has expired.
General G. II. Burton was appointed
as member of the civil service COM
mission to succeed NJ. X. Young.
The expiration of the term of Fay
and Young leaves the civil service and
water commissioners without rresi-
dents and these places must be filled.
Young was president of the civil serv-
ice commission and 1t is likely John
r. Haynes will be elected to succeed
him. This is purely an honorary po-
sition, but it is not so with the pres
ident OF the water board. The water
board pays it's president $4,000 a year
because it requires all his time. 1t
is expected Major Lee will be selected
for this place.

HOTEL MEN MAY PREVENT
ALEXANDER'S EMPLOYMENT
Association Threatens to Bring Pro-
ceedings to Enjoin City from
Making Contract

If the hotel and restaurant men of
Los Angeles fulfill their threat they
will ask the court to enjoin Charles
Alexander from collecting the city s
garbage and win take the matter of
the garbage contract to the supreme
court.
Such was the statement made to the
legislation committee by j. w. Mitchell,
representing the hotel men and Al
Levy, representing the restaurant men,
They declared that if the council did
not permit of the garbage matter be-
ing reopened so they could secure GER
tain amendments they would prevent
the collection of garbage by Alexander
through injunction proceedings.
The council yesterday refused to re-
onen tbe case when it adopted the re-
port Of the legislation committee that
the petition be fled The hotel and
restaurant men want the privilege OF
disposing of their own garbage, which
they cannot do under the contract with
Alexander.

CITY DEPARTMENTS ASK
FOR MORE OFFICE ROOM

Three departments of the city asked
the council to provide more room for
them, and the proper committees were
Instructed to consider the requests:
The treasurer asked that he be given
more and safer vault room. Treasurer
Hance has been trying for several years
to increase the size of his vaults ana
make them burglar proof, but former
councils have expected a new city hall
and have delayed action. The finance
was instructed to investigate
this.
The health department asked more
room be provided for that branch of
the city service, especially in the room
occupied by the bacteriologist, and also
to provide a room where the nurses and
sanitary inspectors can make their re-
norts and transact other business.
The park commission asked that 1t
be permitted to engage two rooms in
the Coulter block.
The last two communications were
referred to the supply committee.

TWO PLEAD GUILTY
TO MURDER CHARGE
Trial of James Hurley Interrupted by
Accused Admitting Offense
Charged in Second
Degree

Two persons pleading guilty almost
simultaneously to murder in the sec
ond degree was the peculiar situation
in the criminal departments of the
superior court yesterday. In Judge
Willis court James Hurley interrupted
his trial, pleaded guilty to second de-
gree murder and was sentenced to San
Quentin for ten years. In Judge
Davis department Aniceto Fuentez
entered a similar plea and will be SEN
fenced Thursday.
Hurley was charged with killing
Louis e. Gallagher October 10, 1909.
Three witnesses had testified and a
short recess was takon, during which
the accused man expressed a desire to
his attorneys to admit his guilt of a
less serious crime than first degree
murder. Taking the witness stand
after the jury was discharged Hurley
said he shot Gallagher in self-defense.
while Mrs, Bessie Hester, on account
of whom the two men frequently
quarreled, also testified she heard Gal
lagher make threats against Hurley
F'uentez, who PLEADED guilty in Judge
Davis court, stabbed and killed Teo-
flo Monterola on San Fernando street
September &C. No reason could be as
signed for the act, except that Fuentez
was drunk.
