CHARGES COUNTY
GETS BAD MEAT
HOSPITAL STEWARD MAKES
COMPLAINT
DECLARES BEEF SUPPLIED UN-
FIT FOR FOOD
Board of Supervisors Refers Matter
of Alleged Violation or Contract
to District Attorney to De-
termlne Policy

Impure meat for the poor unfortun-
ateS at the county hospital is the basis
for complaint filed with the board OF
supervisors by Robert F. Hayhurst,
hospital steward, yesterday, The meat,
it was reported, has been supplied by
market which was given the contract
to supply the hospital with mutton and
pork for a year, beginning July 1909
The steward says the meat at times
has been so unfit for consumption that
he was compelled to refuse it and to
demand a fresh supply. On number
of Occasions, he says, the same meat
has been returned to the hospital, only
to be sent back again. For more than
two weeks, he further complains, the
firm has refused to fill any order for
mutton or pork.
Supervisor McCabe, chairman of the
hospital committee, asked that the
matter be referred to the district at
torney's Office to determine what steps
can be taken to compel the contractors
to comply with the terms of their con-
tract.
"I think we have the right to pur-
chase good meat and charge it to the
firm" said the supervisor. '"The con-
tract calls for first-clasS meat, and this
Is what we should receive"
The contract to supply meat to the
hospital is divided between the Palace
Market and Provision company and the
Northumberland company, the entire
contract for supplying mutton and pork
having been given to the former con-
cern in July, last year, and expiring
july l next.
In his complaint Mr.. Hayhurst said:
THE quality of beef delivered by the
Palace market has been such that we
have been compelled to return it a
number of times, with the result that
our subsequent orders for beef would
not be filled at all, or, If any was sent
out, it would be the same beef or of
similar quality. Since January 2S this
firm has also refused to fill any orders
of ouIS for mutton, although same has
been included in our order each day.
They have also refused to fill our order
for hogs. The beef delivered by the
Woodward Bennett company is first
class, as per contract, but they refuse
to supply more than one-half the beef
we require Their position on this point
seems justified on the ground that they
have only one-half of the contract;
but in the meantime it leaves the
county hospital in the position of hav-
ing to accept an inferior quality of beef
or have our supply cut in half, and
also unable to secure any supply of
mutton or pork"

HOLLYWOOD TEACHERS
WAIT FOR THEIR PAY
Seventeen Pedagogues Can Not Get
Salary Until Tangle Has Been
Strengthened Out

Seventeen teachers of the Hollywood
school are unable to get their last
months pay, owing to the fact that
three families living north of the for
mer city limits of Hollywood control
the school revenues of that district.
This is accounted for by the fact
that about 100 acres of the Hollywood
school district were outside of the city
of Hollywood and therefore not annexed
at the recent consolidation election.
The three families living in the out
side district petitioned the board of
supervisors yesterday to annex that
territory to the city for school pur-
poses
Supervisor Eldridge fearing that the
action was some plot to thwart the
East Hollywood annexation election
next Friday opposed the granting of
the petition at the present time and
moved that it be continued for week
until after the election.
Superintendent Keppel explained that
the East Hollywood annexation is in
no way involved.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 14.-Rev. D. F.
Mulvihill has left for Mexico to prove
immense mining claims in the prov
ince of Sonora left by man of similar
name whom he believes to be an uncle.
The estate is valued approximately at
$1,00O,000.
A communication was recently re-
celved by the police department from

nation about the heirs of Stephen d.
Mulvihill, who had died possessed of
immense mining claims, without heirs
and leaving no word concerning his
relatives except that they resided in
Iowa.
When asked what he would do with
the money in the event of the estab-
lishment of his claim Father Mulvi-
hill said: "I think 1 would enjoy an
extended sightseeing tour, but the bal
ance of the money 1 would devote to
building up my parish. 1 believe that
is my greatest ambition. l would like

urge him to recommend to congress

of the necessity for strict economy it
would not be possible for him to urge

at the next session.

PREPARING FOR GREAT
MISSIONARY CAMPAIGN
MINISTERS AND LAYMEN MEET
TO FORMULATE PLANS
Auditorium of First M. &. Church Is
Filled at Gathering Preliminary
to Work Here March
8, 9 and 10

In. response to the call of the educa-
tlonal campaign committee OF the
National Laymen's Missionary move
ment, the auditorium of the First
Methodist church was we'll filed yes
terday morning with ministers and lay
men, representing the missionary move
ment of Southern California.
The assemblage was in preparation
for the meeting of the National Lay
mems Missionary convention to be held
in Los Angeies March 8, and 10.
A. M. McDermott was the chairman.
who made brief preliminary remarks,
following which A. G.. Paul, executive
secretary, explained the object of the
meeting, saying that the city would be
divided into districts to better facili-
tate the work, which would be largely
conducted by the young people, in
Guiding college students. He urged
that the ministers do all in their power
in the missionary movement before and
at the time of the convention, which
Is to be one of seventy national gather
ings of the movement held in the DIFF
ferent parts of the country.
John Willis Baer, president Of Occi-
uentdl colleSe, MADE strong address
for the laymen's missionary cause.
Time was when a minister and a
few women controlled the church, -
said DR.. Baer. But the times are
greatly changed. The laymen are com
ing into a large share of the work.
While the minister should be the gem
eral head of his church, it is right
that he should be encouraged in their
noble efforts.
1.-THE minister should not be COM
PEELED to preach begging sermons. The
spirit of mission giving should be suf-
ficiently infused among the officials
and laymen to make 1t successfully
easy. But many churches are prac-
tically dying for the want of this mis-
sionary-giving spirit. 1t Is according
to what they sow that they reap.
IA pastor should do his own work
with the help of his laymen instead OF
calling in a stranger with a gift of CAB
as calling card. Now Is the accepted
time, and it's up to us"
Judge Curtis d. Wilbur explained
that he managed to leave his court
ment by supplying another Judge.
Judge Wilbur said that he had a
sister in the missionary field in Russia,
and therefore had a special interest In
the foreign missionary work. He re-
ferred to the condition in his juvenile
court work, calling special attention to
the need of missionary advantages.

made an interesting missionary ad-
dress in his usual haDDy manner.
