NEW POLYTECHNIC
NEEDS REPARIS
REINFORCEMENT OF FRONT
WALL NECESSARY
School Beard Authorizes Work to Be
Dona Before Opening of School
fteaion, Set for Septem
ber 17
Members of the school board yester
day anxiously inquired whether a. por
tion 1 of the contract price of the Poly
tecnlc high school had been retained.
According to tho board's building ex
pert the front wall of the structure will
have to be strengthened In some man
ner nnd bands must be placed about
the smokestack. •• • ■'
In addition to these repairs, which
have been suggested hy Building In
spector Backus, there must be erected
two fire escapes.
On motion of Inspector Frank the
building committee was authorized to
at once have these repairs made. In
order ■ that the building be In proper
condition for the opening of the school
September 17, which date has been do
elded upon for the beginning of the
next term. ■ .
Says It Is Not Serious
At the conclusion of the meeting In
spector Frank, wiio Is a member of the
building committee, said to The Herald:
"The conditions at the Polytechnic
high school are not at all serious, and
I believe that with the repairs con
templated the building will be perfect
ly safe. The contractor, Mr. Engstrom,
told me a. few days ago that It would
be necessary on account of the. settling
of the ground to anchor the front wall
and to reinforce the smokestack, and
that-he would stand any reasonable exr
pense. "■ ' . .■■■
"He could not be compelled to do this,
as he has received the full contract,
price. The building was erected under
the old law by the city council, It was
accepted by that body and afterward
by the boa.Td of education. Under the
present law the construction of school
buildings Is entirely in the hands of
the board, which now has under way
eighteen new buildings.
"The growth of Los Angeles I£*tnost
remarkable, and it is keeping the board
busy to supply new districts with
school facilities and to prevent, the
overcrowding of the older districts."
New Work Is Planned
Considerable new work was author
ized , by the board yesterday by the
adoption of the following report of the
committee on buildings:
• . "That one temporary building be
erected for a sloyd room and another
for. a cooking room at the Fourteenth
street school.
"That. 75 feet on the Ascot street side
of the Vernon avenue school grounds
be- fenced off from the rest by palisade
fencing, and that/a temporary building
be -moved there and put In order for
use as a special ungraded school.
. "That one of the .rooms of the So
la no avenue school building be fitted
up for use as a special ungraded school.
"That the building committee he au
thorized to award the contract for the
Loreto street school building. • -. - . .
VThat^the building committee,be*ln
structed to award contracts for cement
work at schools advertised for.
."That the building committee be au
thorized to purchase 90 feet of land
adjoining the site of the Loreto street
school, upon. such terms as it may be
able to make with the owner thereof,
»nd to draw on the funds for the pay
ment for same.
"That we have Instructed the fore
man of schoo) buildings and grounds to
confer with J. J. Backus, chief inspec
tor of. buildings, in regard to tire es
capes'and chimney at the Polytechnic
high, school.
"That a cesspool, be put in at the
Thirty-ninth street school."
Library Knot Is Untied
The. board authorized the suggested
separation of the school library from
that of .the city' library. The books
belonging to the city schools are to bo
placed in the Grand avenue school
building, and the superintendent of
schools has been directed to prepare
lists of titles of books suitable for use
in the schools, to be purchased with
the, library fund of the board of edu
cation. The board authorized the em
ployment of a librarlaji for the pub
lic'school library at 9 salary not to
exceed $70 per month.
■ A report was adopted recommending
the acceptance of tho offer of the child
study" circle of the Thirty-fifth avenue
school, to place In tho grounds of that
p.chool athletic apparatus consisting of
swings, see-saws, maypole, etc.
The board adopted the report of the
purchasing committee, recommending
contracts be made for various supplies
for the ensuing fiscal year with the fol
lowing firms: J. W. Hellman, H. Jevno
company, F. W. Braun company, Jones

GOAT SPOILS PRAYER SERVICE
Baptists and Oddfellows Get In a Sorry
Mix Through Services and
'? V ■ Initiation
Special to The Herald.
. RED BANK. N. J., Aug. 20.-The col
ored Odd Fellows meet in a room in
th>-' second story and the Pilgrim Bap
tists, occupy the first floor of a build
ing on Pearl street. The Odd Fellows
were Initiating a candidate for mem
bership last evening, . while the Bap
tists' held a prayer meeting. The lodge
"goat" became frisky, and such ■ a
hubbub was raised that the worship
was seriously interfered with. The
prayer meeting adjourned In Indigna
tion, as the building fairly rocked and
mysterious hoots and uncanny sounds
filtered through the ceiling.
' The ■ outraged Pilgrims 'trooped to
th 6 second floor and burst into the sa
cred, precincts, actually viewing with
unhallowed eyes the perspiring candl-'
date,, blindfolded and still on the
"g6at," The Odd Fellows abandoned
the; f'eir^mony. and . led by Rev. John
liamlin, pastor of Calvary Baptist
church (colored), and William Jordan,
attacked 'the Invaders. In the general
scrimmage men were picked up by the
neck and heels and dropped down
staids and out of the windows. The
sisters of the church actively partici
pated In the pleasant Occasion. Finally,
Home one. yelled: . "Police!" Chief
Lewis suddenly appeared; subdued the
belligerents and arrested Hamlin and
Jordan.' ' ' ' ' . . .
The R«v. T. F. Kenner of the Pilgrim
Baptist church made complaint against
the prisoners,' saying they struck his
wife and bruised her. Justice Sickles
fined them IS eacih, after which Humlln
and Jordan shook hands with the Rev.
Fenner and all hands smoked the pipe
of peace.' The present good feeling Is
explained by the fact that the Odd Fel
low* have sworn to secrecy and ad
mitted to membership all the Pilgrims
who attended "the blowout," „
REPUBLICAN BOSS
GETS MACHINE IN
CONVENTION TRIM
PARKER'S OILY SMILE IS LUBRICATOR
First Cornetist of Republican Band Wagon Believes
All Will Be Sweet Harmony With Little
Friendly Discords to Relieve Monotpny
,v • and He Ought to Know
Carefully hoxed and with nil nf Its
.various parts hurnlshPrl In an artistic
manner, the Republican mnehlne was
shipped to Venice yesterday.
Under the supervision of Engineer
Parker, assisted by Fireman Leeds and
Oiler Petermlchael. the machine last
night was set up In tho HUdltorlum, and
today It will begin the work of grinding
out respective nnd Irrespective of the
wishes of the mam of Republican vot
ers, nominees for the thirty-nine coun
ty offices.
Engineer Parker is remaining watch
ful to the last over the workings of the
machine, and If there should slip an
occasional cos: th« master hand at the
throttle will be greatly surprised.
The Boss Is Confident
Confidence was written In every line
of Parker's smiling countenance yester
day as he superintended the packing
of the various parts of the machine and
doled out free tickets to the faithful,
and his utterances, while guarded, as
usual. Indicated n knowledge that his
machine would work to perfection.
"We are going to have a very har
monious convention," said Mr. Parker
with a smile, and then he added, with
a twinkle In his eye:
"Of course, there will be a few fights,
but they will be of the friendly order —
nothing serious: nothing serious.
"Do I know who Is going to be nom
inated?" he repeated in reply to the
very leading question. "Well," and he
smiled serenely, "I imagine that I have
a pretty good Idea: but, then, we can't
always tell, you know. However, It
will all end In a very harmonious man
ner," he added, reassuringly.
• .",\ Lee for Chairman
"Bradner W. Lee undoubtedly will
be chosen chairman of the convention,"
continued Mr. Parker. "He is well
qualified for the position, and his long
and faithful services to the party en
title him to the honor If he desires it,
and I understand he does.
"As to the Australian ballot, system,
I believe it will be adopted. At least,
I have heard of no opposition from any
quarter. Objection might develop In
the convention, which must decide the
question. However, I believe that it
will go through. JJ" •
"Who will be nominated for sheriff?"
was the last question put to Mr. Par
ker, but with the certainty that the
reply would be evasive. But evasive
ness does not begin to express the na
ture of the response. : • '
"I have not kept In close touch with
the contest for* sheriff," said Mr. Par
ker, and he made no attempt to hide
a very broad smile. VBut we are going
to have a very harmonious convention,"
he again repeated, as he boarded the
car, and with his machine started for
Venice. " ? . . -..,
Some Bitter Fights Are On
Mr. Parker's assurance that "there
will be a few fights, but they will be
of the friendly order." Is not borne
out by facts, at least as regards the
nature of the contests.
However, it Is safe to say that, no
matter how bitter these fights will be,
they, will end In accordance with the
desires of the machine.
To accomplish its end and at the same
time bring about a show of harmony,
it -may. be^necessary for the machine
to make a few trades, but these will be
of an unimportant character, and the
so-called harmony will ■be brotight
about by the free use of the party
lash, used gently or vigorously, as oc
casion requires.
ToPrevent Open Fights
As a check to the bitterness which
has been displayed by various candi
dates to prevent open fights on the
floor of the convention and to enable
the machine to make trades unknown
to the men whom it is willing to sacri
fice In the interests °f "harmony," the
Australian system of balloting will be
adopted.
There Is not the shadow of a doubt
that the plan will be carried by the
convention, because It Is the plan of
the machine, and the machine will con
trol the convention to that extent, at
least, and thereafter everything will
come easy for the men who furnish the
music. , ■.
To some this music will be as a'joy
ful wedding march, but to others It
will be ,a dirge that will sound the
death knell to political ambitions.
The first ballot or two, it Is confident
ly expected, will decide the lesser con
tests and dispose of the walk-overs,
and clear the arena for the main events.
Then the plums will be apportioned ac
cording to program, and the men mark
ed for slaughter In the interest of har
mony will feel the knife, but they will
not know the wielder.
Two Principal Contests
The statement by Mr. Parker that
he has not kept In very close touch
wlih the shrievalty contest Is all the
more amusing when it is considered
that this Is regarded as the biggest
plum on the county political tree.
Next In order, as far as the machine
Is concerned, although It does not ap
pear on the surface, Is that of coroner.
One of the wise ones In the political
game declared yesterday that right
here.wac where there was being done
the greatest amount of scheming, and
that the nomination of one office would
affect that of the other.
It was declared with posltlveness
that the machine even would go so far
as to sacrifice Its candidates for sheriff
In order to make certain of its choice
for coroner.
If this Is the case, and a bet by Joe
Murphy of even money that Hammel
will not.be named for sheriff, would ap
pear to he confirmatory, it would mea,o
the nomination of John Burr, the
"Hoot, mon" of San Fernando, to suc
ceed Sheriff White, and the nomination
of Coroner Trout to succeed himself.
They See the Handwriting
That a number of the contestants
have seen the handwriting on the wall
Is evidenced by the quiet manner in
which some of them are lying down by
formally withdrawing or hy declaring
their. Intention of running Independent
ly.
White and Werdln are said to be out
of the running as completely as though
they had never been In It, and Pritch
ard of Santa Monica Is reported to
have been convinced of the uselensness
of continuing the fight against the In
evitable.
This leaves Hammel and Burr to
finish the race, with the chances in
favor of the latter If Trout la to re
ceive a renomlnatlon.
That something like this la not only
LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 21, 1906.
possible but probable Is the fact that
Dr. K. O. Sawyer, considered one of
the leading candidate* for coroner, yes
terday announced his withdrawal from
the contest and announced himself an
Independent candidate.
Isues a Statement
The doctor confided his Intentions to
the press In the following signed state
ment:
"Having given the matter thorough
consideration, I have decided that I
prefer to go before the people of Los
Angeles county as an Independent can
didate for the office of coroner.
"I am making a campaign on the
platform of a 'square deal for both the
living and the dead.' and am absolutely
sure that this platform would not have
a chance before the convention that
Is to be held at Venice,
"All my life has been spent in the
ranks of the Republican party, where
I have been a faithful worker, but
I do not uphold the principles of the
machine politician."
Dr.*"J. M. Dunsmoor has been sup
posed to be the slate candidate for cor
oner, bub It was strongly hinted in cer
tain quarters yesterday that his name
merely was brought forward to throw
off the scent those who were after the
scalp of' Coroner Trout.
In the meantime Dr. Trout is. keep-
Ing very quiet, and the friends of Dr.
Lanterman were not making any
claims yesterday. •..'..-
Lamb Marked for Slaughter
"You can say with the greatest em
phasis that I am still In the race and
will win," declared Dr. W. A. Lamb
yesterday, In the face of the oft-re
peated assertion that the machine,
under no circumstances, would consent
to his nomination as supervisor of the
Third district.
Dr. Lamb is given credit for having
made It Impossible to renomtnate Su
pervisor Graham, and for this work the
machine is said to be determined to
make an example of Dr. Lamb for his
temerity.
As a result, unless the unexpected
happens, S. T. Eldrldge will receive the
nomination, which will give Dr.. Lamb
an opportunity of carrying out his re
ported Intention of making an Inde
pendent fight for the position.
Withdraw From the Race
In addition to Dr. Sawyer, the with
drawal of three other candidates for
various positions was announced yes
terday.
City Tax Collector E. B. Johnson,
who wanted the similar position with
the county, concluded to step aside
in favor of Mr. Welch and try again
for the position of city tax collector.
This will give Welch the nomination,
although John H. Oish Is still In the
race. .. . . U '
Henry Sherer,' formerly deputy coun
ty clerk, announced his withdrawal
for the nomination for county clerk,
which means . the renomlnation with
out a struggle of Mr. Keyes. Sherer's
step Is said to be due to the fact that
Keyes was preparing to go after the
scalp of Evan Lewis, present city as
sessor, because Lewis and his brother
Dave were active in Sherer's candi
dacy.
Heartwell for Treasurer
The withdrawal of Mark Jones, also
reported yesterday, simplifies- the con
test for treasurer and insures the nom
ination of „ Charles L. Heartwell of
Long Beach, although his nomination
generally was conceded ever since his
candidacy was announced.
John M. Hunt and Robert Wlrsch
lng are still in the race and It Is said
that they will fight to the end, but the
edict has gone forth that Heartwell
is the man.
C. L. Heartwell will have no opposi
tion for county assessor, and I. B. No
ble and Charles L. Logan are .on the
same eacy street as regards the nomi
nations for surveyor and recorder, re
spectively, while Mark Keppel is con
ceded the nomination for superinten
dent of schools.
Two Sharp Fights
City Auditor Sohwaebe declares that
he will get the nomination, for county
auditor, the position now held by Her
bert G. Dow. but the machine says
that Dow must be renominated.
' Schwaebe is backed by "the bunch,"
and If he wins he must display more
strength than he Is given credit .of
possessing. In the meantime the ma
chine men are standing pat.
Another man backed by "the bunch"
is Frank Bryson of Los Angeles against
W. H. Wlckersham of San Pedro, the
machine candidate for public admin
istrator.
On the surface both lights are bit
ter, with the chances largely in favor
of the machine i candidates unless ' a
trade on the quiet is effected, which
does not seerri probable.
For township Justices, H. A. Pierce
and William H. Young are conceded
the nomination: for city Justices, H.
Hi Rose. William Frederlckson and
Joseph Chambers, and for constables,
L. C. Cleveland and J. H. De la Monte.
W. P. James. Walter Bordwejl, J. C.
Rives, G. A. Glbbs and Charles Mon
roe, It Is thought, will be nominated
on the first ballot for judges of the
superior court. • while C. C. Bowen,
Oeonre H. Hutton and Fred W. Houser
are fighting for the sixth place. ■ ; *

outlook is for the nomination of the

In the vicinity of Windward avenue,
apartment houses are "full up," the
tent city Is overcrowded, cots' are
scarcer than beach realty transactions
and the end la not yet. The proprietor
of the Zephyr rooming house, a four
story Mitlding and second to none in

erected on the roof of the structure

Strangers Fill Porches
Strange faces appear on the porches
of the cottages, the air is full of noise,
everybody's in a hurry and the old resi
dent is lost in the shuffle. The generat
arrangements are being looked after by
the Santa Monica Bay Republican club,
which organization with the co-opera
tion of the Abbot Kinney company and
Venice merchants, has apparently left
nothing undone that might facilitate
the work of the convention.
The reception committee la com
fortably entrenched in headquarters
easy of access at the entrance of the
pier, and here thfi incoming delegate
Is registered on arrival, given a cigar
and a George H. Button badge and
after being made acquainted all around
is escorted to his "hotel." It is on the
arrival of the delegates that one can
not help but notice and wonder how
It happens that the fellows with waist
measurements of seventy inches and
over, with few exceptions, find a hand
bag, about large enough to hold an
extra collar and a pair of socks, plenty
big enough for their needs, while the
110-pound man can't seem to get along
with less than one trunk for each run
ning foot of his height.
Mayor,s Hands Full
Dana Burks, mayor of Ocean Park,
Is chairman of the entertainment and
reception committees, which have been
combined, and as far as possible per
sonally welcomes the delegates. Near

GALWAY TUNE RILES I GIRL
She Tells Judge She Couldn't "Abide"
It, So Throws, Bowl at
Man's Head
Special to The Herald.
BOSTON, Aug. 20.-Klttie O'Brien of
13 Billerica street was before Judge
Forsalth of the municipal criminal
court to answer to the charge of as
sault upon Patrick Cummings of the
same address, who claims that on the
20th Inst. the defendant threw a bowl
at him with intent to injure him. Kit
tle does not deny the allegation, but
claims that she did it in self-defense.
Patrick, who is a Janitor at 83 Dev
onshire street, told the court that when
he was coming down stairs from his
flat at the top of the building Kittie
put her knee against the front door
and would not let him out. He took
hold of her, "quite gentle like," and
pushed her away from the door, where
upon she, being In a violent rage,
slezed a bowl and hurled it at Patrick
as he was going out of the door. The
bowl missed Its mark when Patrick
dodged, but it hit a man who happened
along opportunely In the neck.
Kittle O'Brien brought a varied col
lection of witnesses to prove her side of
the case. She thought that Cummings,
because he lived on the top floor,
thought her beneath him socially.
"About noon, your honor, he came
down stairs singing 'All the Way From
Galway," a tune that no Cork woman
can abide, and swinging a billet of
wood In his hand. It was enough to
make a saint mad, singing the tune, but
then he battered on the door with the
billet of wood and hollered, 'Come out,
Kitty of Cork.' I stuck my head out of
the door, your honor, and he struck me
over the eye (here Kittle exhibited to
the court a discolored optic), and he
pulled my hair and knocked me down
and beat me until he was put out by
one of the lodgers, who came in the
nick of time. It was when I was get
ting up off the floor that I threw the
bowl at him— and I wish It had hit him,
too, for It's no good he is, your honor."
Several witnesses corroborated Mrs.
O'Brien's testimony and one young man
testified that he had thrown Patrick
from the room.
Judge Forsalth thought that It w«n
clearly shown that the throwing of the
bowl was a perfectly natural act. done
In sel'-defense, ' and dismissed the
charge on the condition that there
should be no further trouble at 13
Billerica street.

FRIGHTENED BY FLYPAPER
It Sticks to the Tabbies and They
Cause a Commotion in
Women's Ward
Special to The Herald.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 20.— For a time
Thursday night It was believed that a.
preconcerted attempt had been made
by the women Inmates of the county
Jail to make their escape. The first in
timation was screams and the barking
of the eight fox terriers belonging to
Matron S. P. Falconer. This was fol
lowed by sounds as of a fierce struggle
going on in the interior of the women's
department, and resulted In Jailer
Kushman, Deputy Jailer Belter and
half a dozen guards rushing into that
part of the building. .
There a state of chaos was found.
Matron . Fair oner and her niece were
rushing about the rooms, now down on
their knees and again climbing upon
chairs to reach the top of articles of
furniture, evidently Intent upon catch
ing something which was making
every effort to elude their grasp. A
half dozen female prisoners were as
sisting them. Ranged about the room
were the eight fox terriers, while seven
cats occupied various positions upon
the furniture, their backs bowed almost
double and their tails swollen larger
than their bodies.
Suddenly the hubbub subsided and
Matron Falconer and two of the others
appeared with what appeared to be
three struggling bundles of paper In
their arms. ■ Investigation i disclosed
that the bundles contained three cats,
and that their outer wrappings were
common, ordinary, sticky fly paper.
Then Mrs. Falconer made explanation.
She stated that as the women's depart
ment Is not provided with fly screens
she had been using' fly paper, and had
placed it around the room, and espe
cially upon the window sills. She was
sitting reading, while her niece was
playing the piano, when suddenly
something white and ghostly bounded
from the window and dashed around
the room, under the refrigerator, then
under the cots and beds, upon the
chiffoniers and back again to the floor
to take refuge under some article 'of
furniture.-
The first object was followed Imme
3
dlately by another and another. The
dogs began barking and rushing about,
adding to the turmoil, and seven tab
bies sought high places where . they
erected their backs and emitted ear
plerclng caterwauls that had been mis
taken for screams. The strange ob
jects proved to be three of the cats
that had lain down upon the fly paper
on the window sills and it had stuck
to them. They rolled over and it stuck
tighter; then they started to run and
the melee, was on. One .of, 'the cats
sprang from the back^of one terrier „to
those of the others, and this added 'to
the confusion. After the felines had
been caught Mrs. Falconer and her
charges worked half the night washing
and picking the fly paper from their
bodies.
