ENGINEERS PLAN NEW LICENSE LAW Measure to Provide for Examin ing Board to Be Appoint ed by the Governor MANY VISIT THE EXHIBITION President Pyster Delivers Annual Address and Also Suggests Educational Committee Delegates to the state convention of the National Association of Stationary engineers held their first business ses sion in the red room of the A.ngelus hotel yesterday morning, with M, Py« ter, state president, In the chair. The morning was devoted to organization, the reports of committees and to tho president's address, the most Impor tant matter to come up being a com mittee report on the proposed state license law, this subject being made a special order of business for tomorrow morning. t,,h.. .. delegates and their families will enjoy an outing, the official pro gram calling for a trip over tho balloon route, with stops at all of the beach cities, and a visit to the plant of the Pacific Light and Power company. To night theater parties at the various playhouses will provide entertainment. Tomorrow the delegates will thresh out the license law matter, and will de cide just what measure the association will ask the legislature to pass. The law will provide for the appointment by the governor of a state examining board, and for a license fee, probably of $5 a year In the first Instance and $1! yearly for renewals. It probably will Include within Its provisions all en gineers, excepting, marine and locomo tive engineers, though an exception Is likely to bo made In the case of owners of threshing machines who may wish to operate them themselves. I.ICKNSB TO .WORK If the proposed law Is passed by the legislature, a public register will be kept of all licensed engineers, and no man not licensed will be permitted to ■work. The law was drawn by a com mittee made up of one member from each of the local associations, of which there are two in San Francisco and one each in Los Angeles, San Jose, Santa Barbara, Fresno and Stockton. It seems to be regarded with general favor, though the provision covering apprentices may be amended. Both Santa Barbara and San Fran cisco, where the convention was held last year, are aspirants for the 1911 gathering, with the chances favoring the selection of the Bay City. The choice will be made Friday, when the convention also will elect state ofllcers. No contests of Importance are expect ed. 11. W. Noethig of San Freneleco ' probably will be chosen president; W. T. W. Curl of Lob Angeles, secretary, and Charles Knights of San Francisco, treasurer. It is generally conceded that the vice presidency will go to a Los Angeles man—perhaps John Topham. \ CLOSING BANQUET The convention will come to a close with a banquet in the Hamburger cafe Saturday evening, at which Fred J. Fischer will officiate as toastmaster, addresses being programed by William Mulholland, chief engineer of the Ow ens river aqueduct; H. D. Saville of San Francisco; James G. ■Warren, Los Angeles; W.

Pearson, superintendent of the Southern California Edison company; John, Traynor, San Francisco; J. N. Pyster, John Tophnm and W. E. Cham berlain, the last named representing the Hamburger company.

He recommended the adoption by the association of a state license law, for submission to the legis lature, and urged that special consid eration be given to the standardizing of machinery, to save trouble in case of breakage.

MACHINE'S 'LOGICAL' MAN FOR TOGA IS LAWLER Prominent Republican Admits Flint May Be Called on to Run for Governor The news of the plan of the California Republican machine to adjust its present gubernatorial controversy by agreeing on a fifth candidate—a dark horse In the guise of Motley H. Flint, former postmaster of Los Angela*, and to put Oscar Lawler Into the race U the machine candidate for the United States senate, caused no little comment In Los Angeles yesterday, and was further con firmed by the admissions of a number of prominent Republican, who unhesitatingly stated that Lawler had been considered the "logical oandldate for the senate for some time," but who refused as yet to commit themselves regarding the five-cornered guber natorial light until the word has been of ficially pasHeJ out from the "push" head quarters In San Franclsc. While no statements would be made for publication by any of the Los Angeles ma chine leaders yesterday, It was learned that Oscar 1-awler undoubtedly Is the choice of the national machine leaders, and that t»e word tv put him up as the successor of Senator Frank Flint came direct from Wash ington. Hut this word was sent out before Mr. Lawler came Into hla recent unsavory notoriety through having dictated the presi dents letter exonerating Balllnger. A number of conservative machine Repub llcnns In Los Angeles, when Interviewed yes terday, unhesitatingly expressed th# opinion that "sentiments In Lob Angeles have changed so radically since the Lawler-Taft episode that It Is feared Mr. Lawler Is no longer the logical candidate for the toga." li. publicans are asking themselves If this Taft-Lawler episode will frustrate their latest solution of the all-perplexing senatorial problem. If It does, the Republican leaders admit It will Indirectly have a formidable bearing «O <ho equully vexing gubernatorial muddle. And, also, the machine Is wonder- Ing what the "word" from Washington will be when Roosuvelt returns. Meanwhile, Wanton. Curry, Ellery, Ander- Bon and Johnson are waging a strenuous fight for the gubernatorial nomination, with the proßpects decidedly In favor of Johnson, and only by getting together on one good candi date, to oppose Johnson, can the machine hope to keep Johnson and his Lincoln-Roosevelt leaguo mates from getting the nominations.
