NEW AUTO DOES
NOT SUIT CHIEF
PATROL SAID TO BE UNFIT FOR
POLICE BUSINESS
Department Official Declares Wagon
Is Too Short for Ambulance Pur.
poses, and Frequently Gets
Out of Repair
The new automobile' patrol wagon re
cently delivered to the police depart
ment Is a considerable disappointment
to the officials, and visitors to the sta
tion who desire to have a pleasant time
with Chief of Police Kern are warned
not to mention automobiles or even
think of gasoline while in his pres
ence.
"The motor wagon was purchased by
the city council from the Gearless Au
tomobile company without consultation
with the chief of police or any official
of the department and no questions
were asked as to the needs and re
quirements of the department In order
ing such a machine," said a police of
ficial last night.
"There ls no doubt that A. P. Mc-
Ginnis, who sold the council the ma
•chlne,, tried to deliver to the city as
good a machine for the money as he
possibly could. He also tried to have
a machine built which would meet the
requirements of the department.
"In filling the order, however, the
factory fell far short of what is ac
tually needed and the result Is a wagon
which Is unsulted for police business.
"The machine is too short in the body
to accommodate a stretcher for use in
accident cases and in order to carry
injured people with any degree of com
for a trail wagon will have to be at
tached to hold the legs and feet.
"The outside finish of the machine
is beautiful, but the Inside Is likened
to the rough walls of a barn or coal
shed. The mechanism of the machine
may be all that is desired in a pleasure
vehicle where time and necessity to
keep moving are not of moment, but in
the case of a patrol wagon and ambu
lance this feature Is of vital import
ance.
"Three times since the machine was
received by the police department, less
than a week ago, it has been out of
commission, because of defective ma-
chlnery. V'- '
"Monday morning it took a freak
start on the chauffeur in charge and
tried to butt out a brick wall In the
runway of the station with the re
sult It had to be sent to he shop for
repairs. The day before the 'gearless
gears' went out of commission and
the day before it was something else
the matter with it.
"Captain A. J. Bradish has one of
these machines at the University po
lice station and yesterday in despera
tion Chief Kern wanted to know front
him what to do with such a machine.
• "Captain Bradlsh's answer was he
couldn't tell and he commiserated with
the chief because, as he said, 'your
troubles have only begun.'
"The council In buying machines for
the use'of the police department seems
to have ' followed Its own Inclination
to secure a machine, no matter what
kind, and then left it to the police to
make the car fill the bill whether or no.
"The prediction is freely made at the
central station that the new patrol
wagon will soon join the electric ma
chine on the scrap heap and the city
will be out the $4000 paid for It; but
what's the difference, the council has
plenty of money?" ■:■ :-.. J \'.

EVANS TO MAKE
HIS HOME HERE
REAR ADMIRAL PICKS LOS AN
GELES FOR RESIDENCE
Expects to Arrive In This City Latter
Part of March, on Conclusion
of Proposed Lecture
' Tour
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, re
tired, will arrive in Los Angeles the
latter part of March to make this city
his future home.
•The famous naval officer was elected
chairman of the board of directors of
the Los Angeles Harbor company at a'
meeting held yesterday and will be
actively connected with the railroad
building and harbor development.
Admiral, Evans is planning a lecture
tour which Will embrace all cities of
importance In the United States. The
last city on the itinerary will be Los
Angeles, where he will deliver his lec
ture and then begin active work as a
director of the harbor company.
According to an official of the com
pany, the admiral's secretary, ln a
communication to the directors, in
formed them that Admiral Evans would
report for duty when his lecture tour
was completed.
Although the naval hero was unable
to participate In the festivities prepared
for the officers and men of the fleet
when it arrived off Southern California
some months ago he remained in the
state long enough to appreciate and
benefit by its climate.
Because of an aggravated attack of
rheumatism he could not appear at
numerous banquets planned In his
honor, but, although he got but a
glimpse of the city while passing
through from San Diego to Paso Robles,
he has decided Los Angeles is the ideal
spot and will pass the rest of his days
here.
With Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, retired, a
member of the board of public works,
Admiral Evans, Interested in a harbor
company, and others who now reside
here, Los Angeles will soon have a
colony of distinguished army and navy
officers. ■ -j, -.

Thousands Cheer Spec
tacular Pageant
A PARADE three miles In length,
composed of fourteen bands, with
hundreds of floats so gorgeous
that the eye grew dazed in watching
them, drawn by hundreds of richly
caparisoned horses; a parade in which
thousands of men, women and children
participated; this is but a meager and
general description of the spectacular
pageant representing the countless
manufacturing Industries of Southern
California which, starting at the Plaza
at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was
viewed by perhaps half the population
of Los Angeles. ' y
Everybody, ls not Interested in gen
eral government affairs, but everybody
in Los Angeles at least is Interested
in Southern California, and thousands
of persons who did not so much as put
their heads out of their windows dur
ing the passing of the recent political
campaign parades, were on the streets
yesterday, waving Prosperity banners,
wearing Prosperity buttons, smiling the
"Buy and Boost" smile, and shouting
at the tops' of their voices when the
brass horns struck up "Dixie."
It is doubtful If the people of Los
Angeles ever saw In their home city a
parade to compare with that of yester
day in richness, beauty and enthusi
asm. When all was in readiness and
the word to start was given a score of
prosperity bells rang out from the win
dows of the Ducommun hardware
house, where on the second story men
and women were congregated to ring
them, as a big wagon carrying the
Schoneman-Blanchard band, started
out In the van of the army of boosters.
Showers from Cornucopias
As the parade started down Spring
street there rained on the throng of
spectators from the cornucopias on va
rious floats everything from bags of
rock candy to bottles of hair tonic.
From the Plaza, the parade wended
its way south on Spring to Eleventh
street, then west on Eleventh to Hope,
north on Hope to Seventh, east on Sev
enth to Broadway, north on Broadway
to Temple and east on Temple back to
Spring, where the great army was dis
banded with an honorable discharge

Superintendent Notifies High School
Students Suspension Will Follow
if Membership in Orders
la Retained
By a notice, the language of which
is unmistakable, served yesterday by
E. C. Moore, superintendent of the
city schools, it will be impossible for
any pupil of tho high'schools of Los
Angeles, who are members of secret
orders, commonly known as fraterni
ties, or any kindred organizations, to
secure the recommendations necessary
for a graduate of these schools to ma
triculate with universities of this or
any other state, without examination,
If any who are members do not show
to the superintendent indisputable
proof he or she is no longer a member
of such society. ■
This proof must be In the hands of
Prof. Moore by December 18 next.
Mr. Moore further has determined
the failure to relinquish membership in,
secret fraternities, sororities, societies'
and clubs (social) before January 30,
1909, shall be cause for suspension from
the schools to which such members are
attached; and to make the assurance
all connections have been severed dou
bly certain, an oath will be required.
This notice will dispose of the ques
tion whether the four boys of the Poly
technic high school and the two mem- i
bers of the Los Angeles high school,
who have been suspended for being ■
members of the Kappa Delta order,
shall be expelled or permitted to re
sume their connection with the schools.
Superintendent Moore says in his
notice:
To all members of*secret fraternities, soro
rities, clubs and societies, and to all other
students ln the Los Angeles high schools:
Accepting as a complete expression of its
attitude the statement of the committee on
secret fraternities of the National educa
tional assoolatlon, and adopted by that body
as expressing the attitude of superinten
dents, principals and teachers everywhere
toward them, namely:
Secret Orders Condemned
"We condemn these secret organizations
because they are subversive to the princi- I
ples of democracy which should prevail la '
the public schools; because they are selfish
and tend to narrow the minds and sym
pathies of pupils; because they stir up strife
and contention: because they are snobbish;
because they dissipate energy and proper
ambition; because they set wrong - stand- '■■
ards: because rewards are not baaed on '
merit, but on fraternity vows: because they."
Inculcate a feeling of self-sufficiency among:
their members; because secondary school
boys and girls are too young for club life: I
because they are expensive and foster habits
of extravagance; because they detract in- :
terest from study, and because all legiti
mate' elements for good, social, moral and
Intellectual, which these societies claim to
possess can be better supplied to the pupils I
through the school at large In the form of
literary societies and clubs, under the sanc
tion and supervision of the faculties of the I
school;" the board of education January 28,
1907, requested no additions whatever be
made to existing societies in the Los An
geles public schools, no pupils be solicited
for membership In the same, no pupils at
tending the high schools or any other public
school of Los Angeles accept membership In I
a fraternity or sorority of any sort what
ever. .
Request Is Not Obeyed
As this request of the board of education
has not been complied with, as new mem
bers belonging to the public schools have
been Initiated, as the good name of thee
schools has been trifled with, and the state
law has been broken, and as the courts
have recently made It quite clear that school
authorities have full power and the duty
under the law to maintain order In the
schools by forbidding such acts on the part
of pupils as are detrimental to school work
and school discipline and government,
though such acts may take place outside
of school hours and elsewhere than on the
school grounds. And since the name of
the Students belonging to such secret fra
ternities, sororities, societies and clubs, are
known to us and an opportunity has been
given to them to sever their connection with,
such organizations, which opportuity has
not as yet been used.
Notice Is therefore hereby given that tha
recommendation of the school admitting the
