Ballard, secre tary and assistant general manager of the company, fn a speech at a banquet given by the employes to the officers of the company at Levy 1* last night. Thn <• hundred were present. The electric light rate iltuatlon was discussed at length from the company's standpoint. George Decker was chair man and B. i'". Pearson acted :is toast master. Mr. Ballard, who was the principal speaker, wild In part: "The sitiialitai Is ji lst thin—the elec tric business ofLoa Angeles 1« between the devil and the deep blue sea On ono ■ide in :i rate 111;11 makes it Impossible to earn interest on our securities, and on the other regulations of the bond houses which require them to rertlfy to a reasonable earning power before they can dispose of our securities to the in vestors. Now there you are. "We cannot mako people buy bonds that will not pay as good a return on the money as other forms of securities, and we cannot fro ahead With exten sions unless we Bell bonds to pay for the. extensions. GIVK.V NO CHANCE "The board of public utilities de cllned to give us a chance to appear and present our proof of valuations and demonstrate the cost of making and delivering electricity. The council took up their report and rushed H through with unceremonious haste, and the result Is the 7-eent rate ordinanci a out of '::i per cent, and " rate for the city of lop Angeles which is 40 per cent below the average rate in fifty seven representative American cities. "YOU men know where the work of electric construction lias been going on. It Isn't only in the downtown districts nor in the settled residential districts but out on the new subdivisions where tracts are being platted and streets graded in advance of the carpenter and the mason or the painter, who follow wllh absolute certainty In the footsteps of the men who plant poles, string wires and lay gas mains. "Most of you were with us during 1007. Money was pretty close (hat year and there ' was not much extension work.

You have friends among the real estate men and the builders and you know that they will confirm this statement. ■•In 1907 «c could well isome securities and do some extension work. That was because the condition was general and not local and our company was on a good basis and the bond people knew that just as soon as good times came back we would be In a first class posi tion to go on earning a reasonable am! proper return on the money that they have entrusted US with. "Now the condition that confronts us Is strictly local—lt is not a general condition but an arbitrary condition forced upon us by a drastic piece of legislation.

STIRRING RALLY HELD IN VERNON Good Government Forces Draw a Crowd to Aker's Hall to Hear Addresses EDDIE IS PRINCIPAL SPEAKER Coming Election Will Mean Step Forward or Backward for This City Guy Eddie, city prosecuting- attorney, in an address to. the voters of the V«r non district, in Aker's hall, Central av enue and Vernon street, last night, ap pealed for the indorsement of the pres ent Good Government administration, the election of Messrs. Stewart and Whiften to the city council, stating that on the outcome of the pending councilmanic election next Thursday— which will bo a step forward or back ward—depends the decision of hundreds of eastern manufacturers who are awaiting the outcome of this election to determine whether or not they will Invest their capital in Los Angeles fol lowing the development of the great Owens river water power projsct. "The eyes of millions of people throughout the civilized world," he .-iid. -are eagerly watching us, and these people have been pointing in the past to the City of the Angels as a paragon of the progressive and popular form of government, in which the brew ery, railway, power, lighting and other public utility and commodity corpora tions have been compelled to serve the people, observe their laws and accede to tin Ir wishes. "These outsiders have held Los Ange les up as a model city in their .struggle to reform and improve their own mu nicipalities, ami they have watched the Hist six months of our progress under a Good Government administration with intense interest. I.OVAL TO FEOI'I.E "The word has gone out through the newspaper! of the country that the new administration has done more for the City Hum any in its history; that it lias been conducted more loyally to the people's Interests, and that it has proved a triumph for right and jus tice. They are watching us, at tins elec tion, to see what our own people think of it; to see if the voters will maintain their commendable attitude toward vice and pernicious politics; to see if they will indorse the course taken by the present administration for better gov ernment and capable officials; in other words, to see if the people who instltut ed tnis municipal administration as an experiment for better government re- I gret or approve their action. "The corporations have put up two candidates for the city councilt which body of law makers will in the next rouple. of years direct the disposition of many miliions of dollars to be expend ed in the development of our harbor, water system, streets, highways and power plants, and these corporations are waging a desperate and decisive battle to elect those candidates. THK CANDIDATES "The reform organization, o» the oth er hand, has nominated two candidates against them—Messrs. Stewart and Whiften—whose election by the voters will sustain the present administration and indicate that the people desire, good government, "It is to be the hardest battle the corporations have ever* waged, ■l.os Angeles will teach the world a moral lesson at its election next Thurs day Win of lose, it will be regarded as a lesson for others to remember. Apathy on the part of the Good Gov ernment voters of this city will alone 1,,. responsible if Barney Healy and Doc Houghton are elected." Mr. Eddie also urged that It Is of personal and vital interest to each and every voter to cast a ballot against the corporation candidates and in favor of Messrs Stewart and WhilTen, and in favor of the lighting rate ordinance, because if there aro enough of those votes it will sustain the ordinance Which reduces the rates for lighting now paid by every consumer of this commodity. Stirring speeches also were made by Lorln A. llandley, Democratic candi date for congress and an activo mem ber of the Good Government non-pai tisan organization; by Messrs. Stewart and Whiffen. candidates for the council, ,uid by City Tax Collector Clarence Taggart Mr. Taggart made an im pressive appeal for the adoption by the voters of Los Angelei of the so-called business license ordinance, which he charged the corporations had brought to a referendum by obtaining signa tures through fraudulent representa tions. The, meet ing was one of the largest and most enthusiastic of the week, and all the speakers were greeted with nu merous rounds of applau.se, indicating that a Good dovernment sentiment prevailed unanimously. GRANTED MEDIUMS LICENSES Mrs. H. Hyams and John Slater of San Diego were granted licenses to practice as spiritualistic mediums by the board of supervisors yesterday under a suspension of rules. The ap plicants wished to get through in time for the annual camp of the Spiritual ists at Mineral park, beginning next Sunday and continuing through July. PASADENANS WILL AID IN CAMPAIGN Crown City Officials to Tell of the Fight Over Light Rates in That Municipality SUPPORT GOOD GOVERNMENT Whiffen and Stewart Canvass to Close with Rousing Rally This Evening The Good Government organization yesterday completed all arrangements for the final rally of the campaign, which will take place tonight In Smock's hall, Pico and El Mollno streets, and which will be one of the most rousing events of the council manic fights. All the prominent Good Government workers, including the candidates—George H. Stewart and Frederick J. Whlften—will be present, and If physically able Mayor Alexander himself has consented to make a speech. Addresses also will be delivered by J. Perry Wood, city attorney of Pasa dena, who has done so much for the residents of the Crown City in the great battle there between the lighting corporations und the municipal light- Ing plant. Mr. Wood will give the vot ers of Los Angeles an official Insight into the struggle In that city, and has equipped himself with a vast amount of valuable information relative to the cost of producing electrical energy, the expense of distributing It, the advan tages of a municipally conducted sys tem, etc., which Information, it is promised, will effectually clinch the ar guments In the interests of the people of Los Angeles in their battle for lower rates here. Mr. Wood will deal particularly with the legal and technical phases of the Situation in that city, from which Los Angeles may deduce valuable pointers for its future course, following the completion of the Owens river power plant projects and the installation of our own municipal lighting establish ments. CLIMAX OF CAMPAIGN Another Important speaker at this final rally will be Charles W. Koiner, superintendent of the municipal light- Ing plant of Pasadena, who also will give a detailed history of the Crown City's right with the power corpora tions, and review the grreat struggle which has resulted in such a remarka ble reduction of rates in that "city of millionaires." A great deal of interest has been manifested in thee two speeches, which will come as a genuine climax to the serie of rallies which have been held by the Los Angeles Good Government or ganization, aided by members of tho city council and Mayor Alexander, and following this meeting the workers of the organization will take up the do tails of their work for the prevention of corruption at the polls, and to insure the election of Messrs. Stewart and \ddresses also will be made at the final rally by Lorin A. Handley, Dem ocratic candidate for congress, and probably by City Tax Collector Clar ence Taggart. Arrangements have been made for the presence of the G. A. R. drum and fife corps. The meeting will begin at 8 o'clock. APPEALS TO NEGROES TO AID GOOD GOVERNMENT R. G. Lamar Asks Colored Voters to Support Stewart and Whiffen An appeal to the negro voters of Los Angeles to support Messrs. Stew art and Whirten, the Good Government candidates for the two vacancies in the city council, was issued yesterday by K. G. Lamar of 1413 Vt Lawrence street, one of the best known colored citizens of Los Angeles, who has al ways taken an active interest In the Good Government movement in this city and done a great deal to unite the people of his raco in the cause of cleaner politics and municipal purity. Mr. Lamar's appeal follows: The Good Government officials of our fair city have set a prece dent that heretofore was unheard of and they are to be compliment ed by every good citizen. What they have done will affect you as a part and parcel of this city, and now that there are two vacancies to be filled for councilmen, and ordinances to be sustained, passed by the present council, they are worthy and deserving of your sup port, for indeed, we do need these two councilmen. If our fellow-brother could not afford to give away their fran chises through thn votes of Bar ney Healy and Doc Houghton, neither can you. If he can afford to live and rear his family in a good, clean city, under a good and clean administration, so can you. Awake yourselves to a sense of duty; go to the polls and vote; de mand the time of your employer; for this is your only chance to clear your country of the services of your enemy. Vote for George H. Stewart and Frederick J. Whif fen. DARWINISM A FALLACY, SAYS BAPTIST PASTOR The Rev. A. B. Prichard, pastor of the Central Baptist church, scored Darwinism and agnosticism as twin fallacies and evils with a national In fluence for bad at a large session of tho Pacific Coast Christian Workers' con ference at the Bible Institute yesterday. Dr. Prichurd also spokr during the Bible study hour. He compared pres ent day conditions to conditions of Bible times, speaking on the book of Jude. He especially urged strict ob servance of laws, denouncing bitterly the evils of apostacy, agnosticism, nen suality and lawltnnill. At the afternoon session the Rev. W. G Palmer discussed the subject, "Handling the Masses," and D. E. Luther, secretary of the Young Men's Christian association, talked on tho topic "The Advantages of Union Evan gelistic Efforts." Lust nißht "The Evangelistic Church" was the subject of an address by the Hey. Lapaley A. M .11 Affee. DUNLOP URGES ELECTION OF REFORM PARTY DUO Gives His Reasons Why Voters Should Support Whiffen and Stewart George H. Dunlop of Hollywood, president of the Los Angeles Good Government central organization, yes terday issued a statement of reasons why Frederick J. Whiff en and George H. Stewart should be elected l>y the people of Los Angeles to Mil the two vacancies in the city council in pref erenco to Barnoy Healy and "Doc" Houghton. The three principal rea sons cited by Mr. Dunlop are: I—Hecause their character nnd ability qualify them to be valuable public officials. 2—Because Mayor Alexander and tho present city council are giving Los Angeles a successful non-par tisan city government and deserve an indorsement from the voters of Los Angeles by having two council men elected who are in sympathy with the administration, rather than two who are opposed to it. 3 —Because the present city ad ministration Is energetically seek ing to put into effect the plans of the citizens of Los Angeles for the development of a municipal electric plant as a part of tho: Owens river enterprise, and for the development of a great municipal harbor at San Pedro. In its effort to accomplish these two great enterprises the city administration is being opposed by a combination of private interests heretofore often dominant in our local politics, but not so with our present city administration. The Southern Pacific railroad and the electric companies of this city of themselves form a powerful local combination, but they have influen tial allies all across the continent and in the money center of New York city. In the eyes of these allied Interests any municipal own ership of public utilities .should be discouraged, but successful muni cipal ownership, v.ith all the bril liant prospects possessed by these two great enterprises of Los An geles, must be defeated at all haz ards. Therefore every effort is being made to discredit Mayor Alexander's administration. Its small mistakes are exaggerated and its great successes minimized. We of Los Angeles, however, un derstand the situation as it is and will stand by our municipal enter prises. We will not vote to place in the council two men who had so little appreciation of the future of Los Angeles that they voted to give away the river bed franchise, and to whose business Judgment we would not trust our private affairs, but will vote for Messrs. Stewart and Whiffen, whose business judg ment takes equal rank with their personal honesty. CITRUS FRUIT REPORT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SHIPMENTS OF FRUIT Orange* Irmnni Total Tlmrhcln.v.

POOR CAR SERVICE LAID TO POLITICS Good Government Forces Declare Railway Officials Seek to Discredit Administration MANY LATE TO THEIR WORK Corporation Heads Maintain the Regular Schedule Enforced and Trolleys on Time The new city ordinance reßuintinp the speed of street cars went into ef fect yesterday, and as a result of the slow time on a number of lines where new schedules were observed in ac cordance with the regulations there was a great deal of dissatisfaction and complaint among the patrons of the car companies. The new ordinance, effective yester day, prescribes that cars shall run not to exceed twelve miles an hour in the downtown districts, and not to exceed twenty miles an hour In the outer.'dis tricts. This caused many persons to be late to their work yesterday, and it was charged by officials of the Good Government organization that the car were purposely running at a speed considerably under the maximum speed prescribed by the new ordinance, in order, it was claimed, to disgust the people with the law and reflect on the present city council which adopted it, hoping thereby the people would be come aroused to such anger that at the councilmanic election next Thurs day they will revolt against the Good Government administration and vote for Houghton and Healy. This was denied by officials of the Pacific Electric and other railway companies who were questioned re garding it.
