THE SECOND DAY IN CAMP.
How the National Guards Enjoy
Themselves.
An Accident to a Member of the
Ninth Regiment.
The Battalion llrllle as Kxeoated Vea
torday—A Review by Golenel
oohrleber — I,ten tenant
Melrer's Work.
Camp Santa Monica waa fairly- allva
with bine coats yesterday morning, even
long before reveille. The citizen sol
diers were an interesting lot to look
upon, as tbsy practiced the various ma
nenvers and went through the many
evolutions employed only by the mili
tary. The day opened oloady and 0001,
lust sneb wsather as to give the militia
vigor to execute the drills with vim.
Ths reveille call waa sounded at 5:45
a. m., when the morning gna waa fired.
A pretty featnre of the morning was the
marching through the Streets of the
Ninth regiment band and the Seventh
regiment drum corps, and tbe reaidenta
of Santa Monica were given a pleaaant
awakening by tome very fine music
This waa followed np by the uanal
roll calls, mess call, etc., after wbich
the regimental and battalion drills were
executed. In the Ninth regiment, the
attendance ia smaller than it has ever
been before, only 273 men and 213 offi
cers being In camp.
For this reason the Ninth did not
show np aa well in drill as It otherwise
could. The lack of men is attributed to
a busy fruit season, in which industry
many of the guarda are engaged at
present.
Tne gnard mount of both regiments
passed off finely, v/itb the possible ex
ception, in the Ninth, of the review
whioh showed lack in drill.
The battalion drill of tbe Ninth, nn
der Major MoKelveyand Major Prescott,
was executed in excellent style, taken
as a whole. The regiment was consoli
dated into four companies, and Lieuten
ant-Colonel John Et, Berry aa drill mas
ter waa in command. The men are
practically new to the battalion forma
tions, and will gradually increase in tbe
• kill of tbeir movements in tbsae diffi
cult mannenvera.
A I)KitAi.D reporter waa present at tbe
first battalion drill of the Seventh regi
ment. At tbe sound ot the bugle tbe
men were on the ground, eager for their
work. Colonel Scbreiber waa in com
mand, and there were over 325 men in
line. Lieutenant Molver, camp instruct
or, was taking notes in order to give tbe
men and officers their proper school.
Tbe colonel divided the men into fonr
companies instead of seven, and drilled
tbem in platoon movements. Some of
tbe men were in a measure handicapped
by the colonel dropping out their own
officers and aubstitoting others tbey had
never drilled nnder, but on tbe whole
did very well. The men seemed to think
they could have done much better nnder
their regular officers, and feel tbat any
mistakes that may have ooenrred were
not altogether their own fault. On the
whole the drills of both regiments were
very creditable.
Tke battalion drills were the hardest
work of the day, and after the minor
duties, and alter mess, the men, except
the guards, were dismissed nntil 4
o'clock. They enjoyed themselves im
mensely for the i ond day of oamp.
When the soldiers returned to camp,
after having spent the afternoon upon
the beach and in the water, they par
ticipated in regimental drcaa parade and
review. The review of the Seventh was
under command of Lfentenant-Colonel
Howland, and waa reviewed by Col. Wm.
G. Sohreiber.
The usual rails ware tbe order oi the
evening after meaa, and by 11 o'clock
all waa as quiet in the camp as it was
once npon a time along the proverbial
Potomac.
The first accident sines the camp waa
opened occurred yesterday afternoon.
Several of the members of Company E,
Ninth regiment, were boyishly playing
leapfrog on tbe beach, when Private Lu
cius G. Allen of San Bernardino fell and
broke his right leg near tbe ankle. He
waa immediately taken to the hospital,
where Surgeons Magee and Ball exam
ined the fracture. They report it not so
bad as was at first anticipated, but tbe
young man will be incapacitated for sev
eral weeks.
Company A of the Seventh intends
giving a military ball at the North
Beach bath house tomorrow evening.
On Saturday evening a big campfire
on the grounds will be the attraction.
Aa enjoyable time is expected, as both
regiments will likely participate.
Brig.-Gen. C. 0. Allen ia expected to
arrive at tbe camp thia morning. Al
though be doea not come on an official
trip, he will probably review thetroopa.
The commissary department ie the
center of interest among the boys about
three times a day. The food is ex
cellent, in both quality and quantity,
and, aave a tough steak occasionally,
there haa been nothing to canae the
slightest dissatisfaction. Tbe mess
tables are supplied, in trne camp style,
with all imaginable provisions. Both
regiments have good cooks, good and
handsome waiters, and all ths neces
aries that go to make oamp life enjoy
able.
Tbe quarters for the commissary de
partment are located on the front side
if tha samp, while the mesa houses
Are all in a row, serving aa a dividing
line between tbe two regiments. Every
thing is neat and clean, and it is really
an enjoyment more than anything else
to be among the militia and camp and
work with them.
Colonel Schrieber of the Seventb reg
iment expressed himself as much pleased

SCHOOL BOARD'S CONTRACTS.
A Peeailar Way te Sava ths Tax
payers.
The waya of the board of education,
like Bret Hart's "heathen Chinee," aie
peculiar, and paat finding out. Their
latest efforts to distinguish themselves
is in tbe way of letting contracts for
furnishing supplies.
Some time ago they advertised for 250
tone of coal. The bida were to be
opened August 13tb at 8 p.m. At the
day and hour stated there were fonr
bids on hand, viz.: Hancock Banning,
Cerrillos company, Caledonian and F.lai
nore. Although opened by the secre
tary, it is alleged they were not made
public and the deoision waa laid over
until the board should have further
time.
Tbe following day the secretary of the
board, it ia said, met one of the bid
dera, and told kirn tbat but four bids
had been rsesived, and that bis bid
wonld be acoepted in all probability, aa
it was the lowest of the better grades
submitted.
In the meantime the different coal
dealers had learned of the different prices
in the bids, varying from $5 to »9 a ton,
and thought it waa settled as to who
should receive the contract. Imagine
the surprise of tbe contestants, at tbe
meeting held Monday night, to have It
announced that the bid of the Crescent
Coal company had been accepted at 10
oents a ton less than tha lowest of tb c
four former bidders, or at the rate of
17.88.
The other blddera aaaert that tbe reat
ot the bida were not even read in publio,
aa the law contemplates, and moreover
the fifth bid waa not even known of. In
fact, the secretary had aaid to several
coal dealers that the four bida were the
only onea submitted.
The dealera who were unsuccessful do
not care for the loss of the oontraot co
much as they do for the method whioh
wae resorted to. Tbey claim that tbeir
bids were opened, and tbat the fifth bid
came in, as evidenced by the admiseion
ol the seoretary, after the pricea had be
come known.
A VERY CLOSE CALL.
Charles T. Deering Nearly I.oaea Hie
Lire at Santa Mouloa.
Charles T. Deering of the Loa Angelea
Lighting company's office, met with an
accident at Santa Monica Sunday even
ing, which nearly oost him his life.
He and George J. Lendenfeld were
about to return from the beach. Tbe
train whioh they wished to take bad
just started and Mr. Deering attempted
to swing himself on board. Hia foot
slipped and he was thrown to the
ground, his head hitting close to the
moving wheels. Had he fallen six
inches farther nnder the train the
wheels would have crushed him. As it
was he was considerably bruised about
tbe head and face.

finals, which were played in tbe highest
order of excellence.
F. Carter eaaily defeated Lester in the
forenoon, playing a snperb game. The

that Bumiller wonld walk away from his
opponent from the Grown of the Valley
in the next, thus finding the match, bat
they were mistaken in their estimate of
the young man'a staying abilities and
judgment, for he won the set by the
same score at his rival did the preceding
one.
The final set was hotly contested, but
the Pasadenan was compelled to suc

ago the commission issued a decree that
wits intended to shut oft' the firemen

were prohibited from taking part in

a great ruanv firemen will resign at to

MORE MYSTERY ABOUT BOILERS.
The Board of Education's Strug
gle With the Problem.
Prices on Boilers Are Bard to
Get At.
Th* Supply Committee or the Board
or Kdocatloa ITreatlee Unencoeie
rully With a Knotty
Problem.
Juet what kind oi a boiler will be
used for the heating apparatus of the
high school is still a matter of doubt.
All of yesterday morning was spent by
the supply committee of the board of
education in President Pepper's oflioe,
where a thorough diecnssion of the
problem was held, bnt no conclusion
was reached. Mr. Traak wasn't present
and the other members decided to wait
until hia return, and will meet again
thie morning and settle the matter defi
nitely.
The time of the committee was very
profitably spent, notwithstanding no
definite action was reached. The
members learned a vast deal about
boilers at that meeting, and will give
the l.os Angeles public tbe benefit of
tbeir knowledge.
The contract for putting in the heat
ing apparatus, as the public well knows,
oalled ior a National tube boiler. The
board stipulated, however, tbat should
it decide to put in another kind of a
boiler, it conld do so by paying the dif
ference in price. That looked very rea
sonable. But there was a dark-skinned
individual in the woodpile.
Last night at tbe meeting several gen
tlemen appeared belore the board of ed
ucation to talk about boilers. The Wil
cox Boiler company sent Charles A.
Moore of San Francisco down, and Mr.
Moore opened the ball by praising np
his boiler and running down the Na
tional. He did not mention snch a
thing as a Root boiler.
Next came Mr. Nolan, wbo talked
Root boiler right from the shoulder and
cast a bomb into the peaceful camp by
the statement that be had figured with
the contractor on both the Root and the
National boilers and tbat he would fur
nish a National for $(iJO cheaper than
he wonld a Root. But—tbe National
was no good and ths Root tip-top.
As soon as the members of the board
could reoover from tho shock the strait
they were in became apparent. The
board could take a boiler whioh would
not be guaranteed and which the agent
himself said was no good, or else pay
$<iOO more than the contraot called for
and get a Root.
But the scheme wan most transparent
when the agents of all the boilers re
fused to give prices upon any one of
them.
"We are not here to mention prieea,"
they aaid, "only to talk about our boil
era. The contractors only are in tores ted
in prices."
But reßterday morning it waa differ
ent. The board had referred the mat
ter to its aupply committee, and the
supply committee slept over the matter
and woke up with a plan of action clear
ly denned, Kaoh agent waa oalled be
fore the committee separately and made
to give figures on his particular boiler,
with the reault that the committee has
some valuable information, aa follows:
Tbe National boiler can be bought on
board tbe cars at New York for $700,
tbe Root for $01)0 and the Wilcox for
$1150, and the difference in price, there
fore, is easy to get at.
And the chancea are the committee
will pay $200 extra instead of $600, and
take a Root boiler.
STOLE THE STOCK.
A Bartender Who Had An Eye far tbe
Future.
E. A. Mellick is disgusted with tbe
saloon business. Time was when he
considered it quite a snap, as the saying
is. From what he could learn and see
on the outside, he thought it must be
one oi the niceat aud most profitable
businesses that a man could I>t into.
The profits must certainly be large and
the buainesa pleasant enough when con
ducted right, and only a few drawbacks
presented themselves to his mind.
So Mr. Mellick went into the aaloon
business. He rented a place down on
Main street and stocked it up. Now
Mr. Mellick thought he had discovered
something about the saloon business
which most people in it overlook, and
that wae the fact that a bartender is
somewhat superfluous.
"It will be just as well," thought Mr.
Mellick, "to tend the bar myself, and
thus save the expense of a barkeeper
and also escape tbe possibility of being
systematically robbed.." So he did.
The plan worked well, too, for a certain
length of time, but there came a day, it
waa last Mouday, by tbe way, when Mr.
Mellick got a terrible longiug to lay off.
That was a fatal mistake, as will more
fully appear from a suit which will be
heard today in Police Jnotice Austin's
court. This suit is entitled The People
vs. W. S. Little. Mr. Mellick took bis
dap off and this same W. S. Little is tbe
man he put on while he went off.
It seems that Little not only took ad
vantage of the situation to till up on hia
employer's liquors, but had hia eye on
the future. The complaint says he
wilfully and unlawfully carried away 30
bottles of assorted wines, brandies aud
whisky, one demijohn of whisky, two
gallons of giu, one pistol, two boxes of
cigars and one box of cigarettes, but he
also went through the cash drawer snd
took 18,50 in silver. Ha left the build
ing.
MIXED ON NAMES.

All three are charged with battery, the

A Decision by Jotlg-tt (ilark.
Judge Clark yesterday decided the

WARNER ON GRAMMAR.
A Resident of University Wrlt.s to th.
CuOßOll.
John M. Warner of University bag
addressed a lengthy commnnication to
tbe honorable city council, calling at
tention to tbe extraordinary knowledge
of tbe Kngliah language possessed by
tbe antbor of the notices of atreet work
of the city. Ia btißSful ignoranoe of
the fact tbat some of tbe spelling and
moat of the grammar in hia own com
munication ia incorrect, Mr. Warner
consumes four pagea of foolscap (very
appropriate for the purpose, too, per
haps) in pointing out a grammatioal
error in tbe ordinances aud noticea of
atreet work lor Figueroa street.
The notices state that the street aball
be graded, graveled aud guttered with
aephalt gutteia. He pointa ont the fact
that tbe street may be guttered with
asphalt gutters, but cannot be graded or
graveled with asphalt gutters, and says
it reminds him of the deed drawn up by
a distinguished gentleman wbo wrote:
"This indenture, between Mrs. Mary
Jonse, formerly tbe wife of John Jonea,
Henry Brown, William Scott, Edward
(ireen and John Andrews, parties of the
first part, etc."
Mr. Warner says that he has gone ao
far as to call npon a lawyer in regard to
this matter, but the lawyer wae not in
when he called—a faot wbich the au
thor of the noticea will no doubt re
joice at.
Not satisfied, either, with tbe fonr
pagea of foolscap, Mr. Waruer writes a
poatacript on the margin of the last
page as follows:
"P. S.—lf you insist on having the
street improved as specified south of
Jefferson, I intend to have the enter
prise buated, if poasible. Sidewalka
and curbing are all that are needed
there now, except tbat tbe city pipe the
water for irrigation instead ol having an
open zanja."
Mr. Warner winds up by saying the
notices ougnt to be aent to tbe Smith
sonian inatitution as ourioaitiee.
