 Gun Purchase

] Characterizing as "damnable' and "disgraceful" t4ie action of the Los Angeles City Council in -appropriating $7O0 to buy sawed off shot, guns for the police anG stating that the action was taken ] without his knowlege or consent. Fred c. Wheeler, Socialist coun- cilman, asked the Council to change the Council minutes -tc record him as voting No" At the same time he introduced a re solution calling for a public inves tigation of the citizens police force of l, 900, which recently offered it's services free to Chief Sebastian.
 Il certainly would have raised my voice to protest against what ] consider a damnab]e piece of business said MT. Wheeler. The city is.here t protect our pc pie rather than to send cut men and shotguns to shoot down working men who are in a contest with their employers over wages. 1
 Never in go years has q state militia been called out to protect the working class. Always the police and militia have been call cd out against the workers. feel that could never look all honest man in the face again if let my name stand in favor of buying those guns. Party Builder.

.HUERTA'S MAN OBJECTED TO
 BY CARRANzA Chief of Rebels Unwilling To Deal With Creature
 of Usurper HEAD
 WILLING TO QUIT Expected To Follow Dtaz Into Exile Unless Enc
 mics Reach Him

washington, July 1S-N1exico City was looked to today as the place where the next big scene in the Mexican sit uation would be staged. With Huerta about to quit and turn over the provis- iotaal pres4dency to his new foreign minister, Francisco CarbaJaL hope was expressed that a way might be found peacefully to transfer the government to the eonstitutionaIists and avert nnfl- itarx conquest of the capital by their triumphant forces.
 Carranza has announced his un- willingness to deal with CarbajaI re- garding him as the creature of Huerta- The impression pFevatled widely in Wlashington. however, that hostilittes in Mexico were near an end It IS suggested that if arrangements of peace were settled upon Carranza could enter the capital with only a. comparatively small force to help pre- serve order.
 Huerta, it was believed, might quit ChApuItepec some day this week. Au- tcnnatfcaI1Y, the new foreign minister Franc1s Carbaja1, would assume the role Of president. Carbaja1 is a man of law. He is less than 50 years of age. Of an academic temperament, he never has served in the army. A few weeks ago he was elected chief justice of the republics supreme court.

STATE TROOPS PUT
 THROUGH PAGES

1Jiantic, Conn., July 13-Under a hot sun the state infantrymen got their first real taste of active military life today. It was a. m. when assembly sounded in both the Second and First regiments and in a very few minutes the companies were marching out of the tented streets and into regimen tai formation on the parade. Drill ing was begun which lasted until mess call sounded at noon. The com panies were broken into squads for unit driH and then reassembled into companies for skfrn1isnfng. The reg ular army officers drove the men fast and with determination. In the af- ternoon the companies had more slkir- 'mishing and deploymetn for battle. The mounted scouts engaged in more field work The officers of both regiments left camp for a two hours ride in the nearby country to survey the ground for a suitable place for the sham battle on Saturday.

Howes was associated during his lifetime were received, as well as others from various business mems organizations of the city. The house was filled with beautiful floral tokens. sent by his former associates and friends of the family. Burial took place in Mountain Grove ceme- tery.

New Haven Stockholders Lost Millions By The Criminal Negligence Of Their
 Directors, Is Report Of U. s. Boar

 ROOF OF PORCH

 Mrs. Hoste. the aged wife of the dead man, is nearly prostrated with grief. She herself did not witness the accident, but 9, short time. before had warned him to be exceedingly careful.

.HEARSE HORSES, SCARED BY MOTOR,
 DO LIVELY SPRINT

while an the way to a funeral a handsome team of horses belonging to Edward Wakeley,t a local 1veryTnan and driven by George Lee, were scared by the racing of an automobile engine at the corner of Golden Hill and Main streets. They sweryed into trolley car and one was thrown to the pave ment In the struggle to release themselves, the team broke the traces and dashed north on Main street until striking a light runabout owned by the wieinstein Brothers, the frightened horses swerved to the sidewalk, up which they ran until stopped by John Hickey, an expressman. in front of the Hotel Stra tfield.
 That none were injured seems re- markabIe. as the streets were crowd ed at the 10 o'clock hour with early
 morning shoppers and business men. A large crowd collected as sooR as the horses were under control and they were greatly. surprised that, when quteted, the team was so docdle that with the arrival of new trace-straps they could be -hitched to the undam- aged hearse and continue on the way to the funeral.
 At the time of the accident the hearse was being driven North on Main street. Lee had a marrow pass- ing in front of the 4New1eld building and a south bound trolley car Just at this moment the driver of the car started his engine which raced with a roar that sent both horses directly to the left and almost directly in front Of the trolley car, which was brought to a standstin as it struck them. The hearse, when left by the horses, rolled gently to the curbing, though Lee was pulled from his seat.
 Police and other pedestrians were loud in their praise of Hickey, but for whose presence of mind. it is believed injury would have resulted to men and women upon the sidewalk directly in front oe the hotel and upon which the horses were already running when their harness fou1ed the trolley pole that gave Hickey the minutes time needed to catch them by the bri6le
 Although a large hole was left in. the dashboard of the Weinstein rig, it was not upset The hearse team we're severely scratched and bruised in the1r short run

ILLEGAL PAVING CONTRACTS ARE
 ORDERED BEGUN Courtade Calls On Warren
 Brothers To Resume
 Work At Once SENDS LETTER AFTER POLITICIANS CONFER In Meantime the Mayor Will Prepare For Another Appearance Before The Paving Commission.

Director of Public Works Jacob A. Courtade has written to Warren Bros. Go. Of Boston, today, notifying them to at once resume work on the $160.- 900 Warrenite contracts which he re- gently signed with the company and which City Attorney William H. Com ley, Jr., has branded as illegeL The directors letter was very brief epis- tie. Tn it he directed the company to resume work forthwith and to mo- tify him at once the probable date on which they would take up the work in West and Myrtle avenues and car ry out the preparations for laying the patented pavement on the eight miles of streets for which the illegal contract was made.
 The action of Direqter Courtade is the aftermath of a conference which Mayor Wilson and local Republicans who are taking a prominent place in the direction of affairs of this Ad- ministration. had on Saturday. The the letter leaked out after the mayor had left his office today.
 Director Courtade said that he hal sent such a. letter, briefly outlining it's contents as above. The director would not say whether he had writ ten the letter on his own initiative or whether the letter had been written after the conference of politicians as mentioned above Courtade said he would probably have a. statement to, make tomorrow but today he did not care to say how the letter was prompted.
 From the. letter of the director it is evident that those who directed the making of the contracts are determin- ed that they shall be carried out de- spite the opinion of City Attorney Conley and despite the opposition of the paving and sewer commission anI the public in general
 Mayor Wilson will attend the meet ing of the paving and sewer commits sion tomorrow evening and submit the arbitration proposition of J. M. Head, counsel for the Warren Bros Co. The commission will not change it's attitude which is to have nothing to do with the Warrenite contracts but will simply receive the commup ication from MT. Head and place it on file
