[Associated Press]
BERKELEY, Dec. 15.—Dr. Archibald
R, "Ward, In charge of the state hy
gienic laboratory and head of the de- j
partment Of bacteriology at the uni
versity of California, announced last
night that aboslutc proof of the exist
ence of rabies, or hydrophobia, had
been obtained from laboratory tests on
coses from several cities in California.
"Until we have had accurate data on
how the disease spread from Pasadena
to Stockton," said* Dr. Ward, "we have
no means of telling whether rabies
exists all through the San Joaquln and
Sacramento valleys. If the disease has
been transmitted through the valleys,
each locality where .rabies is found
Fhould, take immediat* precautions by
the passage of a law requiring the
muzzling of all dogs.
•'This is the only effective method
for the prevention of the transmission
of rabies.'"
Dr. Ward voiced the views of the sit
uation In the state in regard to rabies,
the dreaded disease which has made
its appearance in I'asadona, Los Ange
. les and Stockton, where cases of the
disease have been discovered In tho
Ja»;t t.wo weeks.
According to Dr. Ward, the disease is
entirely new west of the Rocky moun
tains. ___- J __

CHEERS MAY HAVE
BEEN PREMATURE
EXCAVATION ORDINANCE STILL
HAS ROUTE TO GO
When Passed Unanimously by the
City Council, Real Estate
Men Present Were
■ Jubilant
The jubilant real estate men who
cheered so heartily when the council
unanimously passed the ordinance
Tuesday permitting them t<> place their
lots on the market without putting an
expensive surface on their streets may
havi been a little premature with their
applause.
This ordinance, which Is commonly
known as the excavation ordinance, i
did not go to the mayor yesterday and '
it Is probable it may not bo to him
for a week or mmc. It inu.st go back
to tho city attorney's department to
have an amendment made to conform
to the way it was passed by the coun
cil, that the provisions of the ordin
ance apply only to tracts of record
thirty days after Its passage.
After the city attorney's department
jrets through With it. and that depart
ment is never known to hasten, it must
be returned to City Clerk Lelande for
certification. The city dork has the
privilege of holding the ordinance for
any reasonable length of time. There
is little likelihood the ordinance will
reach the mayor before next Monday,
at the earliest, and after he receives
an ordinance he has the privilege of
holding it ten days before he tak.es
action.
The mayor is strongly opposed to
the ordinance passed by the council.
He will sustain W. M. Humphreys,
chief inspector of public works, and
the civic bodies which have pi
itions condemning the ordinance
by vetoing the measure. ]t will be
December l! 0 before the mayor has to
tako action on the matter, and by that
time the present city council that
passed the ordinance will be almost a
thing of the past. The last regular
meeting of the present could] will be
December L'S, and January 4 the new
council "ill OCCUpy their seats. The
now council la not likely to begin its
i< rm by passing* an ordinance over the
mayor's veto.

MAYOR ANNOUNCES
HAYNES' APPOINTMENT
WILL HAVE NEW MEMBER ON
CIVIL SERVICE
Public Utilities and Harbor Commis
sions Must Be Chosen at Once, -
as Their Services Are
Needed
Dr. John R, Haynes will be the,new
ii\ii service commissioner to su
Dr. D, AN. ESdelman, resigned. Mayor
Alexander made this positive state
niciii laat night just before leaving
his olhYe.
it has been generally supposed that
| Dr. Haynei would get the place, us he
i »;is a comtnißßloner from the time the
| board was formed until last year, when
I his term expired and Harper appoint*
ed George l. Cochrane In his place.
| i>r. Haynei is recognized as an
authority on civil service matters and
is deeply Interested In tho work. He li
also afinbit.Mi with the Good Govern
tnent organisation.
Mayor Alexander also said last night
thai he would appoint two commis
sions, the public utilities and the har
bor, thil week and send their names
to the council for confirmation irext
Tuesday. He believes some liuste is
necessary In the formation of these
two bodies, as the public utilities com
mission will have to make a report
in February and the hprbor bund elec
tion is also scheduled for that month.
Bui his other commissioners the
mayor will not appoint until the Dew
council is in 'office, he declared. Ho
Stated that he would retain as man)
of the commissioners he now has as
he ■ an and hopes to be able to retain
them all. But Commissioners Trask
and Qraham of the police beard are
anxious to resign and the mayor may
have to fill their places.
HAMLIN SAVES VALUABLE
LANDS TO MUNICIPALITY
Figures Up Price of Lots Asked For
by Domestic Gas Company as
Worth $410 Each
City Knyineer Hamlin pointed out a
little matter to the board of public
works yesterday that may result in
the city securing $12,500, or <tt least
that the city will not give away yaiu
tblc land to a private corporation for
nothing.
The Domestic Gas company asked
the board of public worki to vacate
portions of Tenth and eleventh streets
east of Santa Fe avenue. The board
referred the matter to the city en
gineer and he reported yesterday that
parti "f streets are not of much
i iip'.i< value, and as they were close
to Ninth street it did not appear prob
able that they would ever be opened
across the river.
But Mr. Hamlin also called atten
tion to the fact that the land to be
vacated, which would revert to tha
petitioners, contained 71,000 square
feet, or the size of twelve and a half
lots. He found lots in this locality
guessed at $410 each and concluded
they must be worth at least $1000 a
lot. The petition for vacation was de
nied until some reasonable offer is
ina'le.
APPROVES OF NURSE FOR
TUBERCULAR PATIENTS
Board of Health Expresses Opinion

to Meet Conditions
In b <■•.'innimii ation to the city
council the board of health approves
ppolntment Of a nurse to be em
ployed b) the city to care for Hie In
digent tuberculosis patients, but the

nur*e ahould !"■ undei the sols juris
diction of th>- health department and
not h" subject to the Los Angeles So
ciety for the study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis, as "the ordinance pai ed
Tuesday by the council provides.
A number of nurses urn employed by
the ' ity f'>r different kinds of work
among the poor and In the schools, ami
the board of health belli vet they
should all be designated as pity nurses
The civil nervlee department will be

SCARCITY OF LABORERS
FOR AQUEDUCT DUTIES
: Board of Public Works Seeking Men
in Order to Rush Big Ditch
to Completion
Work appears to have become *o
plentiful in Los Angeles that th< re are
but tew unemployed men. The aque
duct department has had difficulty In
securing enough laborers. About 300
laborers arc wanted at once along the
line "i ii. aqueduct and men who will
apply at the aqueduct headquarters i;i
the Central building will find employ
ment,
Laborer* are paid $2 a day and are
charged 75 cents for their board. They
are given tree Bleeping quarters In the
' bunk houses owned by the aqueduct.
The demand tor laborers is due to
! the decision of the board oi publi<
v.iiks to rush the building of the
aqueduct so that it can be coropli te i
; year earlier than was estimated. The
i iiancha division is belrig opened mi I
this will require even more men than
are now sought.
PRESENTS PLAN TO CARE
FOR ALAMEDASTREFT WATER
City Engineer Hamlin Devises Scheme
of Storm Sewers at Slight •
Expense to Taxpayers
Although the council abandoned pro
ceeding for constructing the i torin
sewer on Alame>da street, the .storm
j water that covers this street everj
wlntei is to be cared for if the plans
presented by City Engineer Hamltn
to the board of public works yesterday
meet the approval of the council. The
; plans Involve an expenditure ■> 1 about
of the general tax Fund, but In
xi,-a of the fact that property owners
'are likely i" sue the dtj for damages
I if tomehlng is not done, City Engineer
Hainiin believes it will be much cheap
er for the Council to follow his idea.
A large storm sewer seven and a
half feet in diameter was constructed
from Alanieda. street and Stephciison
I avenue to tho Log Angeles liver under
the Storm tewer bond issue of 1903.
This sewer has never been used to its
capacity. It was planned to extend
up Alatneda, and it was the proceed'
ings to follow this plan that the coun-1
ell abandoned.
The eiey engineer proposes to build
120 feet of the. main sewer north ou
Alanieda street from Second, With two
large catch basins, eaoh basin to be
30 feet long and connecting with the
main sewer by means of two 4"*lneh
pipes. It t.s believed that little storm
water can get past these catch basins
and the objects, of an expensive storm
sewer would be .served.
Want Ordinance Amended
The l.ds Angeles realty board, in n
letter by its governing committee ad
dressed to Mayor Alexander, declares
it will ask the council t.. amend the
traffic ordinance and also as|<s the
mayor to rigidly enforce the provisions
of the ordinance as they now exist.
The chief complaint of the realty beard
is that vehicles are permitted to block
the curbs In front of the entrances to
business buildings. They want the
ordinance amended bo as to prohibit.
vehicles utandlng In front of entrances
any longer than is necessary to dis
charge or take on their passengers.
Roman Pattern Design Adopted
The board of public works yesterday
adopted one of the designs submitted
by M^in MPyberg as a pattern for the
neu ornamental lamp posts on Pico
from Main to Vermont. The design
liars five globes and is what is called
the Roman pattern. Meyberg had
copyrighted the designs he submitted,
but'he waived his privileges to royalty
for the benefit of the Pico Street Im
provement association. Although Mr.
Meyberg expects to submit bids for
making the posts others are privileged
to do the same.
FIRST FRUITS OF HARBOR
ALREADY MADE APPARENT
Increase in the facilities for handling
freight between New York and Los
Angeles by the American-Hawaiian
Steamship company via the Isthmus of
Tehauntepec, will be made Christmas
day. The time for transporting freight
will be materially cut so as to allow the
company to handle sixty-one cargoes
during the coming year.
Boats will leave New York every six
days Instead of every seven. The same
service will be arranged for the trip
up the west coast. This will put freight
Into Los Angeles in fourteen days in
stead of twenty-six as heretofore. The
freight now Is handled through San
Diego, but when- San Pedro harbor Is
a little better conditioned the ships
will sail into that port.
