TO SELECT DATE
FOR A PRIMARY
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE OF ROB-
ERTsoN, TO MEET MONDAY
FOR THAT PURPOSE.

SPRINGFIELD, Tenn, Dec. 29.-
The democratic executive committee
of Robertson county will meet here
next Monday for the purpose of adopt
ing plan and deciding on date for
county primary election, an injunc-
tion having been issued forbidding the
holding of primary on the date pre-
viously selected by the committee,
Dec. 4. That date during the month
of January will lbe chosen is confident
ly expected.
Great indignation has been manifest.
ed at the action Of the Patterson bolt
ers in preventing the primary pre-
viously ordered by the committee from
being held, and the injunction pro-
ceedings instituted by them has made
them objects of general contempt. BY
their manifestly unfair and dishonor-
able tactics they have disguised the
decent citizenship in this county, and,
instead of gaining an advantage by
heir disreputable course, they have
rendered their predicament still more
desperate.

TO FIGHT FOR
THEIR OLD JOBS
DEPoSED OFFICIALS AT MEMPHIS
MAKE ATTACK ON NEW
CHARTER.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 3.-Many of
the deposed city officials will probably
follow the lead set by Frank Taylor,
Superintendent of the City Hospital,
and seek to retain their positions. AL
van Tate has been enjoined by Taylor,
on the ground that the latter's term
does no expire until February. C. T.
Sullivan, deposed Fire Chief, has also
decided to adopt the same course.
John Brennan, late Captain OF Police;
Ed Kehoe, late Chiefs of Detectives,
and DIR. l.. Andrews, President of
the old Board of Health, are consider
ing the filing of bills asking for in
functions.
Thomas H. Jackson, City Attorney,
and A. c. Floyd, City Judge, are the
only ones of the old officials who
seem happy to be out of Office.

DISTILLERS MUST
CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT
CONCEDED THAT TEST CASE Is
PLANNED, BUT WHO WILL MAKE
1T, NOT YET KNOWN.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 30
Rumor here today was to the effect
that the J, W. Kelley Co, Of this city,
had been selected by the manufacture
ers of Tennessee to test the law pro
hibiting the manufacture of liquor
within the State. All of the whisky
men and their attorneys seen tonight
deny the report and say that the Kelly
plant will be closed down with the
others tomorrow.
Whisky men interviewed, admit
there is to be lest case, but assert
that the concern to bring about the
test is not located in Chattanooga
None, however, would venture a guess
as TO who had been selected.
No papers have been drawn for any
one here had attorneys are the only
ones who know the real status OF
affairs. but they are keeping silent I'M
I'll the matter is further developed.

UNCLE SAM ASKS
PRICES ON SITES
NEW FEDERAL BUILDING Is
PROBABLE HERE
Congress Said TO Be Prepared to Au-
thorIze Home for Sub-treasury,
Customs, Assay and APP
pralser Offices

Postmaster NJ. H. Flint received a
communication from the government
supervising architect at Washington
yesterday requesting that he immedi-
ately send the approximate market
value of land in Los Angeles suitable
for the site of a sub-treasury, customs,
assay and appraiser building.
The letter points strongly to the fact
that the official heads of the nation
have awakened to the commercial i'm
portance of the city, have realized the
necessity for another federal building,
and that consequently Senator Flints
bill for the sub-treasury will, in all
probability, pass at the present session
Of congress.
w. H. Harrison, assistant postmaster,
stated last night that Postmaster Flint
would be glad to receive tenders for
sites suitable for the new federal build
ing, and that his department would
comply with the request from Wash
ington to use all possible haste in COM
plying with its demands.
'It is simply another Indication" said
Mr.. Harrison, that they have come to
a realization at Washington that an
other federal building is needed in Los
Angeles. 1t Is very seldom that con-
gress shows such an interest in a bill
as it has in this one, and seldom such
haste is shown in the erection of federal
buildings"

Many Topics of Interest to Industry
Discussed at Annual Conven-
ton of California
Apiarlsts

The California Bee Keepers associa-
tion opened It's three-day twentieth
annual convention yesterday in the
Chamber of Commerce building with
an address on the bee industry of the
state by it's president, B. G. Burdick
of Redlands and an illustrated lecture
last night by Ralph Bennett on 1.-The
Business of Bee Keeping"
One of the principal subjects that
probably will come up for discussion
at this convention will be a new dis
ease, known as the black, or English,
foulbrood, that has made itself evident
and wrought considerable havoc among
the bee hives of the San Joaquin val
ley. Several bee keepers have adj
Vanced plans for it's determination,
which will be seriously considered and
possibly adopted by the honey pro-
ducers of the infected section.
President Burdick stated yesterday
that the bee industry of California was
assuming immense proportions. "The
quality of California honey is becom-
ing known all over the United States"
he said, "and we have become an i'm
portant factor in the market of the
eastern buyers. Bees do we'll in this
state, and the business of their care
and marketing of their honey has
proved a profitable one. I have no
doubt that this new disease that has
made itself evident in the San Joaquin
valley will be wiped out, as several
very plausible remedies have been ad-
vanced by our most experienced bee
keepers"

TEMPLE FEBRUARY 22
San Francisco's Mayor VIII Give Main
Address at Opening of Big
Maple Avenue
Building

The labor union organizations of Los
Angeles are making arrangements for
the dedication of their new Labor Tenn
pie at 53S Maple avenue, February %.
At that time Mayor P. II Mccarthy of
San Francisco will be In the city and
will deliver the dedicatory address, The
new temple was completed Saturday,
and the leaders are anxious to get into
their new quarters as soon as possible,
as the present ones are crowded.
The Labor Temple represents the ef-
forts of seven years on the part of labor
organizers. 1t was first brought into
material form by T. D. Fennessy, who
raised $1,000 toward it at a Labor day
celebration in 1903 Since then the fund
has been steadily increasing, until now
organized labor has a building which
is valued at S250,000. 1t is a seven
story structure with offices for the labor
organizations, meeting rooms, a dance
hall and social rooms 1t is planned
to add a gymnasium and grill room to
this.
The Labor Temple company, which
owns the building, is capitalized for
$1O0, 900. It is so divided that no mem
Der may have more than 1000 shares,
and no organization more than 5000
shares. Recently stock in the organiza-
ton has gone from 81 to $1.50 a share
and there Is little for sale.

James A. Williams, treasurer of the
Federation of State Societies and man.
ager of its bureau of information in the
Chamber of Commerce building, in an
interview last night threw some aston
ishing sldelights on the broadening
stream Of eastern immigrants pouring
into Southern California through Los
Angeles from every city, hamlet and
village in the east. AS manager of this
information bureau for the express pur-
pose of making the eastern arrival
acquainted with natives of his home
state who are residents of Los Angeles,
Mr. Williams comes in personal contact
with as many as possible af these peo-
pie several hours after they have
alighted from their trains, learns their
first impressions and gets the first ink
ling of any homesickness that may
have seized them. 1t is then that he
puts in the good work of the federation
and Immediately places them in touch
with Los Angeles residents who for
merly lived in their own state. Once
in good hands the stranger is never
allowed to become homesick, and can
not fail to appreciate the beauties of
scenery, climate and the commercial
advantages of the southern metropolis.
1--WE have had our headquarters es-
tablished here only a few months"
said Mr.. Williams last night, "but
every day has seen an increase in the
| number of visitors to the exhibit rooms
of the chamber of commerce. For
monthly attendance the $4,000 mark
has been reached, the present popula-
tion, I am told, Of the city of Sacra-

the winter, either. All have plans
linking their future with this state.
Many propose never to return to their
former homes and are on the lookout
| for investments in Los Angeles.
have found that the average eastern
| family several days after its arrival
| in Los Angeles succumbs to a bad
case of homesickness, possibly pining
for the sight of familiar faces. 1t is
during this period that the real object
of our mission comes into play. We
get them acquainted with persons from
| their home state and discourage any
tendency toward going back home that
| they may have before seeing the city.
| "Our federation has a membership
of twenty state societies, which in turn
have membership of 10000 persons,
the large majority of whom are resi-
dents of Los Angeles. That member
ship is increasing by the hundreds
every week. We expect to reach the
200, 900 mark before the end of the year.
In fact we are going to keep on grow
ing in membership right along as fast
as the eastern public pours into Los
! Angeles, and that looks very much like
a million mark some day, doesn't it?
"I consider that the federation Is
doing a great work in this city and

| motion bodies standing for her best

BARON NEGOTIATING TO
SELL SAN LUIS RANCH
Los Angeles Syndicate Is Considering
Paying Half Million Dollars
for $4,000 Acres

Baron ]. II. Won Schroeder, San Luis
Obispo, is negotiating with a Los An
geles syndicate to dispose of his $4,000
acre ranch in San Luis Obispo county
for $500,000.
Won Schroeder bought this ranch
twenty-five years ago, after his mar
riage to Miss Donahue of San Fran
cisco, the daughter of Peter Donahue,
who left a large estate amassed in
the railroad and iron foundry busi-
ness. Contrary to what many people
have all along thought, the baron pur-
chased the property with his own
money.
Disposition of the S6,o00-acre ranch
and other California property, all val
ued at $2,0O0,000, is in accordance with
the plans of the Baron and Baroness
Won Schroeder to sell all of their hold
ings to go to Germany to occupy one
of the big estates of the baron's father
who died about year ago. The value
of the estate in Germany which the
baron inherits is placed at $2,OO0,U-0.
