ALVARAD0 STREET TO BE
PUT IN BOULEVARD CLASS

Alyarado street is to be a boule-
ward. The council yesterday instruct
ed the city attorney to draw the neces-
-sary ordinance to reserve AlVarado for
light traffic, excluding heavy teaming
and street car lines.
This action will effectually prevent
the proposed crosstown car line be-
ginning on Alvarado at Sixth street.
The Los Angeles railway has asked
for a franchise for a crosstown car
line on Alvarado running down that
street and then on to Hoover to Jeffer-
son. This application is pending be-
fore the board of public utilities, but
with an ordinance in the way that
prohibits car lines on Alvarado street
some other route will have to be ar
ranged. - u

Municipal Affairs
QUAsH PLANS To ERECT
CAR BARNS NEAR PARK
Pass Ordinance Prohibiting L. A.
Railway Building in a
Residence District

BY the adoption of an ordinance
bearing the emergency clause, the
council yesterday frustrated the plans
of the Los Angeles railway to con-
struct car barns on the strip Of Iand
adjoining Agricultural park on the
south.
The ordinance prohibits the con-
struction of car barns in residence dis
tricts 1t will be published this morn
ing and with the emergency clause
attached will become effective at once
Councilman Stewart objected to the
massage of the ordinance without ref
erence to a committee and asked to
be excused from voting on it. The
ordinance was introduced by Coun-
Gilman williams the last thing before
the noon recess. In fact motion to
adjourn had been made and voted on
but President Lusk had not declared
the result, when Mr.. Williams pre-
sented the ordinance. It had not been
mentioned previously, although copies
of it were laid on the desks of the
councilmen at the beginning of the
session.
The construction of these car barns
has long been a subject of controversy
between the Los Angeles railway and
the people who live in the vicinity.
The residents and property owners
wanted this strip condemned and add
ed to Agricultural park, and after
many hearings on the matter, the
council last Tuesday voted to have
this property condemned.
After this action of the council the
railway applied to the building de-
partment for a permit to construct the
car barns, but the permit was held up
in the building department. The rail-
wav threatened to bring mandamus
proceedings to compel the issuance of
the permit, but the action of the coun-
ell in passing the emergency ordi-
nance will prevent anything of the
kind

CITY ASKS INFORMATION
ON CLAIM OF LUMBER CO.
San Pedro Concern Wants $72,-
900 from Government

The board of public works and the
harbor commission were yesterday in
structed to furnish the council with
the information on which they acted
in connection with the claim of the
Consolidated Lumber company of san
Pedro.
The lumber company spent $72,OoO IN
dredging a channel in the Los Angeles
harbor, and is now asking the federal
government to reimburse it. The COM
pany asked the board of public works
and the harbor commission to indorse
the request. The harbor commission
gave the desired Endorsement, but 1t
was refused by the board.
The council believes action should
have been taken by it, and not by sub
ordinate bodies, and because of the
lack of coordination wants to know
what information the two bodies acted
on in making their findings.

RED TAPE ABOUT TEMPLE
s BLOCK ANNOYS TENANTS

An indication that there will be no
efforts to build a new city hall on
the Temple block site during the pres
ent fiscal year, was given by the coun-
Gil yesterday when it instructed the
building committee to make leases
with all tenants of the Temple block
for a period not to exceed June 80,
1911. That will be the end Of the pres
ent fiscal year.
Some Of the tenants are growing
tired of the red tape necessary, be-
cause of reference to various commit
tees and boards before they can rent
a. room in the Temple block, and the
council fears that the building may be
tenantless unless some simpler method
is adopted. That was the reason for
authorizing the building committee to
make the leases.

ASK COUNCIL TO EXCEPT
DAVIS BAKERY PROPERTY

Application was again made to the
city council yesterday for an ordinance
excepting the property at Sixth and
Beaudry, on which the Davis Standard
bread bakery stands, from the resi-
dence district. The application was
referred to the legislation committee
for recommendation, and Councilman
Andrews, chairman of the committee,
announced that it will be considered
at the committees meeting next Mon
day afternoon.
This property was excepted by ordin-
ance, but such q protest was raised
against it that the council repealed the
ordinance at its meeting last week.
An ordinance to except the property
at 1913 Santee street from the resi-
dence district was rejected by the
council yesterday. Three other such
ordinances were referred to the public
welfare committee.

NO BIDS FOR CAR LINE
FRANCHISE ARE OFFERED

No bids We're offered for the fran
chise on Evergreen avenue and Blan-
chard street when the time for open
ing bids by the council arrived yes
terday morning.
1t was not because Of lack of interest
in the franchise that no bids were SUBJ
mitted, but there is a difference of
opinion between the property owners
and the railway engineers on the route
for the street car line. 1t probably
will be necessary to readvertise for
bids along a different route.

SUGGESTS STREET WORK
FOR WILTSHIRE DISTRICT

A suggestion that something be done
for the benefit of the newly annexed
residents in the Wiltshire district was
contained in a message sent to the
council by Mayor Alexander yesterday.
The mayor forwarded a communica-
tion from residents and property own
ers of the district complaining that
little had been done since the territory
was annexed and asking for street
sprinkling and oiling.
A part of the money due the city
from the county for the benefit Of
these districts has been turned over
to the city and it is now available
for this class of work. The petition
was referred to the finance committee.

suit brought against Charles Alexan-
der, the garbage contractor, to enJoin
him from using the garbage loading
station at Anderson and Also streets.

Suits were first brought that made
the city a party to the action, but these
were later dismissed and the suit
against Alexander alone instituted.

sion. This was brought to the atten-
ton of the council yesterday morning

yesterday, although the matter had
been in the hands of the legislation
committee, and the committee had not

A .pefsnss of War.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
1t remained for Prof. Edward Meyer,
Of the University Of Berlin. the Kaiser's
exchange professor at Harvard. to como
bluntly out at this day with the declara-
tion Of a belief that war is the greatest
human instrument of progress. The de-
structive power of war, he says. is a
creative power. Stagnation means decay.
War, he adds. IS responsible for progress
in every direction and in every human
activity, and is, therefore. justihable. Fol-
lowing which he falls back on the reitera-
ton Of the familiar assertion that the war
with Spain made tho United States a
world power.
If peace means stagnation in his vo-
cabulary. how does he account for the
tremendous progress of this country7 If
war means progress in every direction and
IN every human activity tho United States
is a standing illustration that II is not es-
sentlal This nation was a world power
long before the war with Spain was
dreamt of. That incident merely called
Europes attention to the fact, but Eu-
rope'e ignorance Of Americas latent en-
ergy did not alter Americas actual
strength or position.

British Elections.

The shortness OF British parliament

point In favor Of the British system, is
more apparent than real. While the period
since adjournment OF the last Parliament
has been only few weeks. and the king
formal proclamation dissolving it was is
sued but week ago. the actual work Of
the party. managers in appealing to the
country began several months since. 1t
was thoroughly understood in the summer
that general elections would be held in
the coming winter, budget or no budget,
and all through the autumn season gem
uinc political campaign was in progress
up and down the kingdom. Both liberals
and conservatives had speakers travelling
about on what Americans would call
stumping tours, during the prolonged de-
bates in the House OF Commons on the
budget, and, at the samo time, the party
leaders occasionally delivered important
speeches before popular audiences. Mr.
Idoyd-George's Lime-house and Newcastle
addresses. although spoken many weeks
before the dissolution Of Parliament, were
as much a feature of tho liberal campaign,
that has now reached it's conclusion in
the elections. as Mr.. Taft's August speech

TROUBLES OF UNCLE IoE.

IT begins to look as if it were only question
n OF time before Uncle Joe as Speaker OF
the House would have to go. Uncle Joe is a
fighter, a hard one, but the fates appear to be
against him. The other day it was stated that
the President would line up with Uncle Joe and
the entire success Of the Taft administration
would depend upon the upholding of the rule
of Speaker Cannon in the House, and his COM
mand of the party This seemed strange 10
many, for Uncle Joe has been the one man to
stand in the way of the adoption of the Taft
policies. The latest story from the capital IS
that the Taft suggestion of the Federal incorpo-
ration bill is to be laid aside. Uncle Joe would
be joyously willing for that
Another story is that Uncle Joe is disturbed
by the coming return of the Hon. 7. r. from
Africa 1t may be a wild tale they tell that
Colonel Roosevelt is to be used to break the
power of Uncle Joe, that Roosevelt is TO be
elected TO Congress, to be made speaker and dis
place Mr.. Cannon The latter's grip must be
mighty tight if only Roosevelt could break it.
1t is said that Mr. Roosevelt will have the
support of President Taft when the friends Of
the exile in Africa begin their fight against Mr.
Cannon 1t is unlikely however. that Roosevelt
would need the support OF any one, that IS as
an adviser or counselor. IT has been said all
along that Mr.. Roosevelt does not want to go
TO the Senate that he does not wish to be gov
ernor of New York and therefore the speaker
ship of the House of Representatives is the only
thing left for him. Send him to Congress from
the Oyster Bay district, is the program. With
Roosevelt in Congress Uncle Joe would fly
back to Danville with record speed.
But whatever all this gossip and chatter from
Washington may mean it is evident that great
many people are getting tired of Uncle Joe, that
he has about served his time and following
the thought of the preacher, who in funeral
sermon said he was sorry because of the passing
away of the man, but the relatives and friends
had the consolation of knowing that his death
had 1aff rIta 4orc q ret
his job, Uncle Joe will have to pass away, po-
liticay, before long.

CRACKS AT HEALD.

II HE local Democratic paper is making
4 great many cracks at Congressman Will
liam H. Head. Just what point there is in all
these squibs we have been unable to surmise,
as they seem to contain no definite criticism
or anything else that we can notice The paper
must think that it is about time to say something,
and therefore Is trying to do it. Perhaps it re-
calls that it attempted to manage the Republi-
can party shortly before the last election, and
as usual its advice and counsel was not needed.
We imagine that its efforts will meet with the
same result this time
Does our contemporary desire Mr.. Handy
elected to Congress? We hardly think so. for
during the campaign it touched Mr.. Head verv
lightly With another as the Democratic can
didate for Congress our neighbor might assail
the present Congressman vesy furiously. One
thing certain is that, if the Democrats nominate
a railroad melon candidate for Congress and
put up melon" ticket Head may prepare for
q battery OF criticism.
