CHARTER TO RAISE
PAY Of OFFICIALS
Mayor to Get $4,000 a Year, and
Counciimen $2400, if
Measure Is Adopted
COUNCIL FAV0RS INCREASE
City Fathers Expect to Finish
Labor on Amendments
This Evening
COUNCIL FAV0RS INCREASE

Charter salaries for city officials
were fixed by the council and charter
revision commission yesterday morn
ing that provide an increase for all
the heads of departments If they are
favorably voted on by the people.
The mayor is to receive $4,000 a year,
the city auditor, $4,000; the city asses
sor, $4,000; city attorney, $5o0Oi coun--
cilmen, S2400; treasurer, $4,000; tax and
license collector. $4,000; clerk. $4,000. and
health commissioner $4,000
These salaries were recommended BY
the revision commission and approved
by the council after a long contest.
The principal contest was on the
salaries of councilmeu. The present
council had a vivid recollection Of the
efforts of the former council to IN
crease council salaries from $12o0 to
$2400 and what an overwhelming de-
feat the project met at the polls But
it was conceded that councilmen should
receive more money,
Councilman O'Brieu was the chief
exponent of an increase. He said he
wanted to encourage young men to
take an interest in civic affairs by
running for the council and that young
men and older men who would be
good material could not afford to live
A proposition was submitted to IN
crease the salaries Of the members of
the board of public works from $500
to S42G0, but this did not meet the
councils approval.
WORK NEARLY FINISHED
The salary of the health officer is
now $4,000 a year. but under the char
ter he is given larger powers and be-
comes the head Of the health depart
1nent without being subserVient to Il
board of commissioners. For this rea-
son il was considered advisable to in
crease the salary Of the health com
missioner. as he will he called under
the new charter, to $4,000 a year.
These are the only salaries to be
fixed in the charter, for it is the de
sire of the revision commission to
leave as many salaries as possible sub
tect TO ordinance by the council.
The mayor, auditor, assessor, city
attorney and council Will be the only
elective officers The treasurer, tax
collector and city clerk Will be ap-
pOintive officers.
The work Of the council on the
amendments is about completed and
the council will meet tonight to finish
its labors and submit the amendments
to a vote of the people. They must
be published for twenty days, and after
the publication the ordinance calling
the election must be adopted The
election will be held forty days after
the publication of the election ordl-
nance.

GIRL INMATES ACCUSE
HEAD OF SANITARIUM
John MCGiVern, Who Conducts
Pasadena Avenue Insti-
tuition, Arrested

John McGivern, who conducts a SAN
itarium at 1863 Pasadena avenue, said
to be home for unfortunate girls and
women, WAS arrested yesterday after
noon by Officers Marden and Stiles and
Humane Officer Marden on a serious
charge 1t was alleged that he has
mistreated several young women in his
home. He will be held without bail.
The complaint was made yesterday
by q young woman who has been in
his sanitarium for about five months.
She alleges that he has taken adVan-
tage of his position as head of the
home and subjected her to treatment
that warrants legal action. The COM
plainant, 1t is said, has been slightly
mentally unbalanced since a fall in Il
downtown dry goods store. A few
days after the accident she was placed
in the sanitarium at the expense of
the clerks in the store and they have
been supporting her since.
AS soon as the complaint was made
to the office of the deputy district at
torney through Humane Officer Me-
Laughlin, an investigation was made
into McGivern's alleged improprieties
and a warrant was issued for his ar
rest.
While investigating the complaint
Officer Mclaughlin is said to have
secured information concerning Nc
Givern's relations with a 17-year-old
girl who has been at the home for sew
eral weeks.
The exact nature Of the sanitar1um
McGivern says he conducts has not
been learned. The directory does not
denote his profession as that of a ply
sician. McGivern refused to discuss
the case.

HARVARD STARTS HER
MAIDEN VOYAGE TO-DAY
Big Turbine Ready to Join Sister
Ship, Yale, in San Fran
cisco Service

beginning today, when the Harvard
clears for san Francisco, the Pacific
Navigation company will have in reg
ular operation its two new high speed
steamers, Yale and Harvard, between
Los Angeles and san Francisco. The
steamers will maintain a schedule OF
four trips a week.
The Yale yesterday afternoon re-
turned from its first round trip, which
it made in thirty-siX hours running
time. The Harvard, owing to o num-
Der of repairs which it had to undergo
after the long sea voyage from the
east, could not go into service with its
sister ship and was not in readiness
until yesterday.
According to officers of the company,
both boats are in excellent condition
now and will be able to keep up the
speedy schedule which has been set
for them.
From kilograms received at the gen.
eral offices Of the company yesterday
the new line is enjoying good-sized
passenger traffic from the start. The
san Francisco office reported that 45O
tickets had been sold to Los Angeles
and way ports from that city Wednes-
day and it is believed that another
fifty were added to the list before the
boat sailed. Owing to congestion IN
loading the Yale did not leave until
nearly an hour after the scheduled
leaving time and was unable to make
up this lost time on the trip down.
The vessel made the trip within the
eighteen-hour schedule, arriving at IL
o'clock yesterday morning instead of
10 o'clock.
A special train service has been in
augurated by the Salt Lake to accom-
modate passengers between Los An
geles and the harbor. These trains run
only on the days on which boats leave
-four times a week-and leave this
city one hour before boats leaving
time

AER0PLANE IN MIMIC
BATTLE AT LUNA PARK
Production to Illustrate Use of
kirShip in War

With the coming aviation meet at
Domnguez field next week, and with
new records being made nearly every
day by the daring aviators throughout
the country, there is much speculation
as to what practical use the airshlp
could be put to in case Of war.
Fred Sargent, one Of the owners Of
Luna park, has created a production
Of Il battle a decade hence between air
and sea. Taking Avalon bay as the
place of attack the little lake in the
center Of Luna park has been trans
formed into an exact reproduction OF
that famous resort, adding fortihcatlona
on the hills, as they Will possibly be
ten years from now.
Lying in the harbor is a feet Of
eleven Warships, while the officers are
enjoying q dance, given in their honor
at the Hotel Metropole Suddenly the
telltale sounds of an airship is heard
and everyone becomes excited. The
call to quarters is sounded and every
officer OF the fleet makes haste 10 re-
turn to his post of duty. There Is
hardly time TO clear the deCIs for
action when the monstor Blerlot now
within range Of the teet lets loose its
rapid fire guns, In 81 few minutes the

Stroyed together with many of the

minutes Of terrific lighting the air
ship has her ruJder shot away leaving
her at the mercy Of the winds. Then

who are here for the meet at Domiu-
auez deli will witness the battle.

BRADBURY niece
TRAINS AS nurse
Millionaire in Feverish Excite
ment Over Expected Re-
lease From San Quentin !
Especial Di,poich 10 The Call

SAN QUENTIN, June 30.-While
Millionaire B. Bradbury is in a state
of feverish excitement in anticipation
of his release from prison Saturday
morning, his. favorite niece, Miss Le-
more Van Sickle, who made. strenuous
efforts to secure his pardon from Gov
ernor Gillett last August, is seeking to
earn her living as a nurse. The young
woman, who has always been regarded
a the heiress to Bradbury's fortune, is
studying at ST. Thomas hospital in San
Francisco, where she has been for
several months.
Just why the millionaire's niece is
forced to enter upon career of hard
work and abandon her former life of
ease and luxury is mystery. Some
who are inefmate with the Bradbury
household point to the old mans repu-
tatfon for boarding his wealth as an
explanation. Others declare that a
broken enga cement to young man in
New York is the secret of Miss Van
Sickle's independent attitude.
Nearly a year ago she started the
rumor of an engagement by wearing
a diamond ring on. the proper finger,
but she stated that she would not think
of getting married until after her
uncles release. Now comes Mrs. Brad
bury's statement that her neice never
was engaged.
Although her parents live in New
York, Bradbury urged Miss Van Sickle
to stay and face the world beside his
faithful wife. She consented and now,
on the eve of his departure from San
Quentin to resume the enjoyment of
his millions, his neice has donned a
nurses uniform to fight life's struggle
alone.
