|. A. MERCHANTS PLAN
UNITED FASHION SHOW
Event to Attract Thousands of
Shoppers During Session
of Mining Congress

Thousands of persons from all over
Southern California and the southwest
in general are expected to come to this
city to attend the first annual Los
Angeles United Fashion Show, Septem-
ber &c. 27 and 2S.
In itself the event as planned by the
merchants of Los Angeles should prove
sufficiently magnetic to attract myri-
ad of shoppers, but when it is con-
sidered that the time for the show oc-
cupies a part of the session Of the
American Mining congress here, with
the resultant reduced fares to this city
it is believed that the attendance will
be extraordinary.
Realizing that persons interested in
the very latest fashions-and the resi-
dents of Los Angeles have regulations
for being right down to the tiniest
fraction of a second in such matters
often have been handicapped in the
past by establishments holding open
ings on different dates, thus cntailing
unusual expense or necessitating miss
ing some of the displays the mer-
chants of this city this year agreed
that all openings should be held at the
same time.
Having selected the date, having their
latest creations from Paris, London and
New York on the way, ana having pre-
pared for their customers to see the
very best and latest in the most COM
Portable manner, the merchants expect
an immense crowd of eager shoppers.
All that possibly can interest a wom-
an REGARDING clothes-and ever since
Eve designed fashionable garment
from a fig leaf clothes have been sup
posed to occupy the particular atten-
ton of the gentler sex-will be upon
display. Late marvels in millinery,
wonders in hosiery, creations in gloves,
establishments in suits and gowns, and
surprises in every known and just-to,
be-introduced articles of apparel will
fill the show windows in enticing man
ner and overflow the spacious apart
ments in the interior of the stores.
If the event proves the success that
the merchants have every reason to be-
lieye 1t will, the first annual Los AN
geles United Fashion Show will be far
from being the last.

ASK INJUNCTION AGAINST
GARBAGE LOADING STATION
|. R. and E. Alderman Make Peti-
ton to Superior Court

The garbage reloading station at An
derson and Also streets was the sub
ject of another injunction suit which
was filed yesterday in the superior
court.
L. r. and E. Alderman. who reside
at 94S-54 Also street, are the plaintiffs
in the action, and Charles A. Alex
ander, who holds the garbage con-
tract with the city, is the defendant.
The plaintiffs declare that the re-
loading station is a public nuisance;
that it is obnoxious, offensive and in
sanitary; that it attracts flies; that 1t
breeds worms and is sickening to op-
tic and olfactory nerves
They assert that 1000 persons reside
within a radius of 1000 feet from the
reloading station and they want the
court to declare it nuisance and to
issue an injunction against its further
maintenance.

ASSOCIATES IN OFFICE
SURPRISE A. R. MESERVE
Honor 5Oth Anniversary of Hor-
ticuIturaI Commission
er's Wedding

In honor of the approaching fiftieth
anniversary of the wedding OF A. R..
Meserve, horticultural commissioner of
Los Angeles county, his two deputies,
thirty-two inspectors and four spray
ers rendered him a reception yesterday
afternoon in his offices in the Equitable
Savings Bank building.
Although his wedding anniversary
does not occur until September 20, his
assistants chose yesterday as the time
to do him honor, because it was their
regular meeting day, and to have Sc
lected another would have meant a
loss of time or money for the county.
Mr.. Meserve and his wife were ex-
ceedingly surprised by the reception,
plans for which have been in progress
for month. The commissioner always
prides himself on keeping in touch
with those working under him, but he
admits that for once he was magnifi-
Gently fooled.
He was kept in ignorance of just
what was in store for him while his
deputies managed to hold him in the
office on this and that pretext until
his wife arrived on her way to the
theater, her visit to her husbands
office having been deftly arranged at
the suggestion of her niece, who was
in the secret.
When both the commissioner and his
wife were safely inside the office the
surprise of the event was sprung. The
surprise was threefold, consisting of a
beautifully engraved solid gold watch
for the commissioner, a 100-day clock
for Mrs. Meserve and an electric read
ing lamp for them both.
Mr.. and Mrs. Meserve will celebrate
their golden wedding by holding re-
ception from until o'clock the after
noon of September 20 at their home,
3050 Eagle street.
They were married in Sacramento
county fifty years ago, when he was
26 years old and she was 21. The com
missioner first reached California IN
1858, and his arrival was practically
simultaneous with that of his wife.
Both know scores of entertaining
stories of life in California In the days
quickly following upon the discovery
of gold, and it is expected that not
few of them will be recounted on
September 20.

FOOT CRUSHED UNDER A

While endeavoring to board a NOV

OPPOSITION TO LIGHT
CONTRAST IN ALEXANDRIA
Citizens Want to Construct Mu-
nicipaI System to Care
for Towns Needs

Alhambra is agitating the question of
establishing it's own lighting system.
The city council seems hopelessly di-
vided on the issue, and the people have
been appealed to for a settlement. BY
a vote of 3 to 2 the board agreed to a
contract with the Pacific Light and
Power company on 7-cent rate for
street lighting, but the president of the
board withheld his signature on the
pretext that the people of the city,
through the board of trade and Civic
league, had declared for municipal
plant and against the contract.
A rousing mass meeting was held in
the high school auditorium Wednesday
night, which after lengthy discussion
declared against the proposed contract
and in favor OF municipal distributing
plant, and a generating plant if found
necessary.
The chairman of the meeting, Judge
w. M. Northrup, in pursuance of a mo-
tion directing him to do so, appointed
a committee OF five to report to another
mass meeting to be held at the same
place Wednesday evening, September
IA. This committee Is composed of the
following men, Peter Anderson, Q. w.
Burdick, w. G. B. Jayne, A. G. Forbes
and L. Boardman Reed. The commit
Tee nelu It's IlSt Ai0C'ilIS i"9' At54t'' - -
principal expert introduced being Mr..
Koiner, manager of the Pasadena mu-
nicipal plant. All the information pos
sibly obtainable will be collected and
laid before the mass meeting Wednes-
day, and if the report be favorable for
municipal lighting, steps will be taken
toward q bond election.
The legal status of the case Is pecu-
liar. r. M Wallace, the president OF
the council, admits that it seems to be
incumbent on him to sign the contract
provided the majority should insist on
such action; but he sees nothing IN tne
law compelling him to discharge that
duty Immediately, and he hopes that in
view of the expressed dissatisfaction
with the contract the majority may
recede. He claims that the contract
would impose an unnecessary burden
Of at least S25OO per annum.

FILE SUIT TO QUIET TITLE
TO $1,000 ACRES OF LAND

A suit to quiet title to $4,000 acres OF
land lying in this county, near the line
which separates it from Ventura coun-
ty, was filed in the superior court yes
terday by Pierre Agoure against Alon-
20 Morrison Arouge claims the land
bv virtue of his having resided upon 1t
for twenty years, and he objects to al
legged counter-claims credited to Nor
rison.
Agoure also asserts that he owns
road right of way, fifteen feet WIDE
which leads to the $4,000 acres through
Morrison's holdings. He asserts that
Morrison frequently has obstructed that
thoroughfare, and he wants $1,000 dam
ages for such action. He also desires
the court to issue an injunction pre-
venting a recurrence Of such obstruc-
ton by acts of Morrison.
