THE COMMISSIONERS.
SEVERAL CHANGES IN THE PER
SONNEL OF THE POLICE FORCE.
The Transactions at Yesterday's Meeting
of the Board—New Officers Appointed-
New Hose For the Fire Department.
At two o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the hour appointed for th c regular meet
ing of the board of police commissioners,
not one of the members had made his ap
pearance in the mayor's office. Messrs.
Collins and Dexter were the iirst to ar
rive ; and some ten minutes later Mr.
Bryson came in, and was at once ap
pointed as temporary chairman.
The application of Christian Kremple
for a permit to obtain a license tor a new
saloon at No. 2\t> N. Spring street was
referred to the chief for investigation.
The resignation of Officer D. F. Finu
cane was accepted, as was also that of
Clerk J. li. Manning.
On motion of Mr. Dexter, the appli
cation of A. J. Bradish for appointment
PS a special officer to protect tlie fruit at
G. J. Griffith's Briswalter ranch was
granted.
A number demands amounting in the
aggregate to $66.15 were approved.
The report of the chief for the month
of August was received and filed.
Appended to the usual detailed state
ment of the work of tbe department, as
already published in the Hebald, were
tlie following remarks:
The discipline and deportment of the
force during the month has been excel
lent. lam sorry that I have to inform
you that E. It. Manning has resigned
his position on the force, owing to sick
ness in his family. He was a gentle
man eminently qualified to •Jill the posi
tion assigned to him, and in severing
his relations with us, the city loses a
good and efficient officer and tlie police
department a genial and accomplished
member.
An application for a position on the
force was received from Charles H.
Axtell, in connection with which, Mr.
Dexter presented a letter of recommen
dation from B. N. Smith, which was
read by the clerk.
The question as to whether or not the
board should proceed to fill the three
vacancies existing on the force, was then
discussed, and as Mr. Collins was argu
ing in favor of deferring the matter until
a full board was present, Mayor Hazard
entered. He at once took up the dis
cussion and expressed it as his opinion
that the vacancies should not be filled
at all. After debating the question for
several minutes, Mr. Collins stated that
as these vacancies had been caused by
the resignation of Democratic officers, he
thought the board should allow himself
and colleague the privilege of filling two
at least of them. He thought the
board had been too hasty in dismissing
Dillon at its last meeting and he would
like to see him reinstated.
Mr. Dexter said he had no desire to go
into the question of politics, as he did
not believe in allowing that to figure in
the police department at all. If, how
ever, it was necessary, he would do) so,
and see to it that his party had a fair
show 7 .
At this juncture Mr. Lewis arrived,
and, after glancing over the clerk's min
utes to acquaint himself with the busi
ness transacted by and before the board,
joined in the discussion by moving that
the board proceed to fill the vacancies.
Mayor Hazard opposed the motion, but
was willing to act upon the recommen
dation of tlie chief with regard to an
other clerk in the place of Manning.
The motion prevailed by a vote of 8 to 2,
Messrs. Bryson and Hazard voting neg
atively.
Mr. Dexter then nominated C. H. Ax
tell for a position on the force, and he
was unanimously appointed.
Mayor Hazard nominated J. A. Bean
for the vacant clerkship, and he was
also appointed unanimously.
Mr. Bryson then asked as a favor that
J. R. Home, one of the patrol wagon
drivers, be promoted to a position on
the force; and on motion of Mr. Lewis
it was so ordered.
The next question was upon the ap
pointment of a driver for the patrol
wagon in Home's place. Mr. Dexter
nominated C. 11. Axtell; Mr. Lewis
nominated Mike Shannon, and Mr. Col
lins nominated Harvey Davis. After a
brief discussion, the roll was called and
Davis was appointed on the first ballot,
he receiving three votes and the others
one vote each.
After talking informally with the
Chief on the question of purchasing a
horse for the patrol wagon, the board
adjourned.
Mr. IJynn's Views In Extenso.
Editors Herald:—The Herald ex
hibits its fairness in admitting to its
columns the diverse views of its readers
upon public questions, and then opening
up on them its editorial batteries. It is
good, wholesome journalism.
The writer believes in honest politics,
and will join the Herald in any reason
able endeavor to purify elections.
It is merely a question of methods to
obtain that end.
In the earnest protest against the plan
proposed by the Seventh Ward club, the
tendency of which was approved by tne,
your criticism, no doubt through my own
fault in not being more definite in ex
pression, gave a different turn to my
article than was intended by the writer.
The writer's plea was merely for a
more effective organization. I am in
favor of no ''machine" which is not run
by the people and in their interests. It
is the lack of the right kind of organ
ization which makes frauds upon tbe
ballot box possible. I cannot assent to
the doctrine that organization is neces
sarily inconsistent with democracy, nor
do I believe that the editor of the Her
ald with his extensive political experi
ence will do so.
Martin Van Buren was none the less
a Democrat because he was a skillful
organizer. Samuel J. Tilden was none
the less the people's choice because his
splendid powers of organization aided
in giving expression to the public will.
Had it not been for the school district
organization of Daniel Manning the one
thousand majority which made Cleve
land president would not have been ob
tained.

THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1890.
feet organization which promotes
harmony, gets out the party vote, edu
cates the doubtful voter and makes
possible the triumph of those principles
which we believe to be essential to good
government.
The precinct system was suggested
not only because I believe it jyoiild set
tle the question of the primaries, but
because it brings the elections near to
the people, and is the best method yet
devised to obtain the average sentiment
of voters upon candidates and questions.
To make any party organization ef
fective it ought'to be under the direction
of the central committee, who are rep
resentatives of tbe party; and who are
responsible in large measure for the suc
cess or failure of a campaign.
The fear that this system would
Buckleyize the county is a wholesome
one, but it seems to me a mere phan
tom. The temper of the people would
not permit it; and the political makeup
of the county renders such a consumma
tion impossible.
The father of this system in Sah Fran
cisco, I understand, is not Buckley, but
Win. D. English, and, as the Herald
knows, it was devised after the party had
been defeated by internal dissensions.
I am not urging the system in its de
tails, but I am simply contending for an
organization of some kind that will bring
out the full voting strength of the De
mocracy of this county, in the interest
of tbe state and county tickets and a
Democratic legislature.
In the endeavor to secure this result I
am sure that the editor of the Herald
and myself are in accord.

THE REFORMERS
Resolve Some Resolutions and Make
Speeches.
A meeting of the Municipal Reform
Association was held last night in one of
tlfe ante-rooms of the Illinois hall on
the corner of Broadway and Sixth
street. President Ralph E. Hoyt was in
the chair, and thirty members, including
two ladies and the reporters, were pres
ent.
Mr. Grosvenor opened the ball by
reading a newspaper clipping with refer
ence to municipal reform, lie was fol
lowed by Secretary Hewitt, who made
a few brief but pointed remarks on the
question of the tax demand for the fiscal
yeaf 1890-91. Then J. V. Waldron had
something to say about the furtherance
of mutual reform.
The president offered the following
resolution, which was adopted unan
imously :
Wherkap, The city council has, by its notion
In practically rejecting tlie application of the
Terminal Railway company for a right of way
through the city on the east side of tlie river,
lost a golden opportunity of insuring the carry
ing forward of an important railroad enterprise,
one that would prove an Immediate and lasting
benefit to Los Angeles in various ways; there
fore be it
Resolved, That we deeply regret and strongly
condemn such action on the part of the council
as being against the best interests of tbe city.
Resolved, That we urge the council to rescind
the vote by which said application for a fran
chise was defeated, and grant the Terminal
Railway company every lawful and proper
facility for the early construction of the pro
posed road.
The garbage contract was dissected by
a Mr. Gordon, who was followed by E.
M. Hamilton and A. F. Kercheval in the
same strain.
Police Commissioner D. Gilbert Dex
ter vigoiously denounced the introduc
tion of politics into the departments of
the city government, and especially on
the police force, and touched upon sev
eral topics which he wished to see
reformed. He concluded with a motion
to the effect that the chair appoint a
ways and means committee of five to
raise the funds necessary for the work of
the association. After experiencing
considerable difficulty, the members
generally evincing a decided aversion to
act as collectors, the chairman appointed
Rev. J. H. Collins, J. G. Evans, A. E.
Kercheval, J. V. Waldron and E. M.
Hamilton as such committee; where
upon the meeting adjourned.
A COMMERCIAL SERMON.
Based on the Text of Work and Pro
duction.
"Here's a railroad company, the Los
Angeles it Terminal, which will spend
three millions of dollars in and about
this city; here's a new water company,
the E. L. Stern company, which will
spend two and a half millions of dollars
in bringing mountain water into Los
Angeles, and which proposes to build
the most complete water distributing
system in the United States. These are
only two legitimate enterprises, which
involve the expenditure right here of
nearly six millions of dollars. And some
of us talk about hard times. AVhy, no
section could have better times than
exist right here. The whole country
population is making money hand over
fist out of fruit and grain. You will see
things hum here in a very few months,
and it wont be a boom, either, but a
bum that will keep on for all time.
There's no element of gambling about
the present basis of prosperity, for it
consists of work and production. We
are the people. Ta ta." So talked one
of the keenest business men in the
city yesterday.
ANOTHER DETAIL.
Udell Recovers His Bail and Gets Out
of Jail.
The fact tli£* Justice Savage had paid
into the hands of the county clerk his
$1,500 bail money was yesterday soon
communicated to Alva Udell, who
applied to Judge AVade for another writ
of habeas corpus. This petition was
granted and a writ issued returnable at
3 o'clock p.m. At that hour, Udell,
Justice Savage, County Clerk Meredith,
and a miscellaneous crowd of attorneys,
reporters, and others, who were in
terested, assembled in the courtroom
of department three of the superior court.
The petitioner went over the same
ground covered by him on Tuesday on
his first application, adding, however,
that the $1,500 bail money was now in
tlie hands of the county clerk. Upon
hearing this, and the corroborative testi
mony of Justice Savage and County
Clerk J. M. Meredith, as to the payment
and receipt of the money, Judge Wade
ordered the defendant to be released
from custody, and the whole party left
the courtroom.
A PIONEER GONE.
Henry Hammel Passes Away After a
Long, Painful Illness.

SANTA MONICA SPORTS.
Yesterday's Series of Athletic Contests
at the Beach.
The athletic and polo contests held at
Santa Monica yesterday were well at
tended. The ladies were unusually well
represented, and their gay costumes lent
eclat to the occasion. The grounds were
surrounded by equipages and the fair oc
cupants displayed the liveliest interest
in the held sports. The games were held
under the auspices of the Southern Cal
ifornia Lawn Tennis and I'olo clubs.
Captain N. G. Bolton and F. G. Ryan
officiated as judges and E. W. Barry as
starter, when not taking part in the
races. The stewards were S. Kern, R.
Hart, J. B. Proctor, E. P. Tompkinson,
R. H. Lindsay, W. H. Young, E. G.
Dunbar, J. Machell and E. G. Wood
house. The first event on the pro
gramme was tlie running long jump. It
was hotly contested and was won by Bob
Carter, who cleared sixteen feet ten
inches. Barry came oft' second with a
jump of sixteen feet nine inches.
The 75 yard run brought out a good
field, but E. Barry won cleverly from
Kenneth Carter. The time announced
was 9 seconds. The three-legged race
created no end of amusement for the
spectators. E. G. Dunbar and Kenneth
Carter came out victorious. Roy Jones
and R. P. Carter finished second. The
hurdle race was the next to attract the
attention of the spectators. Seven faced
the starter, but after the first hurdle had
been negotiated it settled down to a con
test between Barry and Jardine. Both
cleared the hurdles in good style, with
Barry slightly in the lead. After clear
ing the last hurdle Jardine spurted and
won by little to spare, after a gallant
struggle. The winner fouled Barry, but
the latter generously waived all claim
and the race was awarded to Jardine.
The tug of war was now called. There
were three teams, as follows: R. P. Car
ter, Benjamin, Bolton and Ryan; Kin
ney, Patterson, Jardine, Carson; Kerny,
Dunbar, K. Carter, and Woodhouse.
The first team drew a bye. Kinney,
Patterson, Jardine and Carson defeated
Kern, Dunbar, K. Carter and Wood
house. The winners were next ar
ranged against R. P. Carter, Benjamin,
Bolton and Ryan. The latter team
pulled together in good style and se
cured the trophy. The event was
watched with great interest and both
sides were cheered on to victory.
In the afternoon many novel events
took place. The victors were applauded
and altogether the sports were a success.
The programme had not been concluded
when the last train Monica,
and the winners of the sports in the af
ternoon will appear in tomorrow's paper.

PHENOMENAL SUCCESS
OF THE
Bear Valley & Alessandro Develoimient Co
My friend, is your name on the list? If not, go or send at once
and have it written there for an option to buy
10,20 or more acres of land in
THAT BEAUTIFUL VALLEY
Known as the
A 1 essa r| dro Tr act.
Situated between Redlands and Riverside, and to be sup
plied with water from that never-failing source,
VALLEY,
Which the company confidently expect to have on"the
land by March i, 1891. Only $3.00 per acre required
when you apply for option. One-quarter cash when you se
lect your laud October 15, 1890, from which the $3.00 al
ready paid will be deducted. One-quarter when water is
ready for delivery, the balance in one and two years from
that date. So you see
THE TERMS ARE EASY,
THE BURDEN LIGHT,
THE REWARD GREAT.
The price of the land today is only
$75.00 PER ACRE.
Scarcely an acre of improved land can be bought either
in Redlands or Riverside for less than $1,000 per acre, that
five or six years ago was in same condition as the land we
now offer you at $75; the improvements, of course, to be
added to original cost,but that would not exceed $400 per acre,
making cost of land at the end of five years, say $500 per
acre. That would be doubling your money in five years
GOOD ENOUGH FOR MOST OF US, but above is a very
low estimate.
A gentleman here in Redlands told us the other day
that he bought twenty acres eight years ago at $75 per
acre, that this year will pay him an income of 1
10 per cent, on $35,000.1: JSTJ
% Who Wants to do Better than that? *
You and I can do the same thing if we GET up and GET
and buy our 20 ACRES today at $75 per acre of
The Bear Valley and Alessandro Development Co.
Our agents are sending in their orders thick and fast.
Let us hear from you before the price is advanced.
